Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2284 Signing

Chapter 2284 Signing
At the Fifty-Two Territories Summit, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the projection that appeared in the skies.
It was the sight of the Emperor of Death clashing against the Vacuous Beasts with dark-crimson flames and black-silver lightning above the Vital Tempering Sect Territory's skies. The imagery was even in high-definition, causing Davis to be dumbfounded by the All-Seeing Emperor's capability, not to mention the simplicity of the event, as he had expected Fraser Herrion's curse to show up in everyone and target him as revenge.
Nonetheless, just as he was about to ask the Mandate Emperor through soul transmission if it was being played at this time for more propaganda, the scene on the projection changed.
A city was about to be smashed by the grayish dragon Vacuous Beast. However, it suddenly looked away, changing course into the skies filled with swarms of Vacuous Beasts where flashes of black-silver lightning and a pitch-black sea rippled in a large area, causing the Vacuous Beasts to disappear within and simply drop like flies.
The scene on the projection changed to a city where the people were watching a projection that was being broadcast at that time.
"Tha- That's the Emperor of Death!"
A man couldn't help but cry out at the projection when suddenly another person, a woman, screamed with excitement.
"The Emperor of Death has saved us all!"
However, the scene on the projection changed again.
This time, the large figures of the Fire Phoenix Immortal and Ice Phoenix Immortal could be seen clearly. Their outrageously beautiful feathers and exotic plumes on their tails dumbfounded the people as the scene again changed to a nearby city, where a group of people witnessed this unbelievable moment.
"What!? Are those two immortal phoenixes!?"
Instantly, the two phoenixes unleashed a sea of scarlet-white flames that disintegrated the swarm of Vacuous Beasts, causing millions of jaws to drop, but at the same time, some were stunned beyond compare; their expressions even zoomed in.
"It must be the Emperor of Death… they're his immortal summons… those divine beasts have heeded his call…!"
"How…!?"
Many could be seen crying out loud for answers, even citing the Forsaken Phoenix Realm and that they were immortals, although the joy of being saved filled their faces the scene on the projection of the summit once again seamlessly changed, displaying the humongous ten-kilometer-long Vacuous Beast intending to break in from the cracked space above.
At the same time, many projections appeared side by side with the main projection, displaying a Glorious Pill Palace Immortal who only took their people away. Even the Starnova Emperor could be seen there. The other projections also displayed the Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal leaving with Ivy Aries, Sect Master Jade Aurora, along with many disciples, and even showed the backstabbing moment of the Heaven Gazing Sect Immortal that caused the Heaven Mandate Temple to become crippled.
The people at the summit were shocked over this revelation, while the Mandate Emperor revealed a dejected expression.
Nonetheless, the projections at the summit changed to the Glorious Pill Palace City's people who had witnessed their immortal departing with the talented cultivators, causing them to clench their teeth as despair seeped into their hearts.
"The immortals have abandoned us!"
Many couldn't help but fall to their knees, even shrivel on the ground as tears fell from their eyes.
"Look!" But after some time, someone pointed at the projection being played in the city, "Isn't the Emperor of Death shown to have left towards the east after having cleared the west with his divine summons!? How come that youth is still battling all alone for us when the immortals have escaped!?"
Many were incensed at the immortals, but they were also moved by the Emperor of Death's actions.
The projections then displayed the Immortal King Vacuous Beast descending from the skies, only to be thwarted by the Fire Phoenix Immortal and Ice Phoenix Immortal before being pulverized into nothingness, beautifully annihilated by the two phoenixes.
At that moment, when the Immortal King Vacuous Beast fell, hundreds of projections appeared in the skies, displaying cities that rumbled with a heavy chant.
"Emperor of Death!"
"Emperor of Death!!"
But in one particular city, someone unexpectedly shouted out loud.
"Bastards! Why are you still chanting that person's infamous title!?" An impassioned youth's voice struck the crowd like lightning, causing them to become enraged.
However, his following words caused their hearts to tremble.
"For a divine being like him who can summon divine phoenixes to save the world, he must be respectfully called the Divine Emperor of Death from now on!"
"Divine Emperor of Death!"
That impassioned youth raised his fist towards the skies, causing everyone to smile crazily over the dawn of hope they felt as they opened their mouths and screamed at the top of their lungs.
"Divine Emperor of Death!!!~~~"
Chanting filled the air during the time of the end of the invasion, but it was only for that city. But surprisingly enough, more displays started to show different cities coming to a similar conclusion.
"Divine Emperor of Death!"
"Divine Emperor of Death!!"
Their booming voices reverberated for a short moment in the summit before the hundreds of projections disappeared from the skies.
"…"
Many of the powerhouses and experts were left stunned, not to mention Davis, who didn't know a single thing about this new title being praised until now, causing him to remain speechless. Moreover, he couldn't help but think this was fake as the theatrics at this point were at a cinematic director level.
Was a documentary movie taken at some point without his awareness?
But for some reason, Davis couldn't help but feel uneasy, turning his head towards the Mandate Emperor for answers.
However, the Mandate Emperor appeared confident and proud, standing with his spine straight as he hovered in the air, spreading his hands like a maestro.
"Indeed, a few cities, without any orders, decided to bestow the title 'Divine' as a prefix to the Emperor of Death during the calamity. If this isn't the pinnacle of respect the Emperor of Death deserves from us for his brave and heroic battle against the Vacuous Beasts, laying his life on the line and saving the world with his magnanimous nature, then I don't know how we should reciprocate."
The Mandate Emperor shook his head, his speech being delivered throughout the continent.
"Back then, the people misunderstood his advent as a calamity and named him the Emperor of Death. But now, they acknowledge the vast compassion in his heart and gave him the ultimate respect one could obtain, something that even the mightiest and the strongest of hegemons known to us since time immemorial of the Fifty-Two Territories haven't been able to receive!"
Quickly, the projection changed from the Mandate Emperor to a rather familiar city that they had seen before.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
It was that same impassioned youth who screamed at the top of his lungs, standing below a statue that heavily resembled the Davis.
"Long live the Divine Emperor of Death!"
At the same time, the hundreds and thousands of people surrounding him in that city began chanting as though offering prayers.
"—Divine Emperor of Death!"
"——Divine Emperor of Death!!"
"Long live the Divine Emperor of Death!!!"
Following them, even more projections appeared in the skies, displaying similar cities having constructed a towering statue of Davis as chanting filled the air. The hundreds of billions of lives watching the projection of the summit also started chanting passionately, raising their voices to a high enough pitch that it shook heaven and earth.
Their voices boomed across the Grand Beginnings Continent, causing the heaven and earth energy to rumble in resonance.
At the summit, the Mandate Emperor smiled proudly while looking at the projections before he gestured toward Davis.
"Emperor of Death, please accept the essence of the major races' acknowledgment. There is no one other than you who deserves the majestic title 'Divine'."
Davis was purely dumbfounded at this moment. He thought he was already a big shot and a revered figure, but at this point, he felt like he was worshiped like a god. Nonetheless, his thoughts couldn't help but fall on the new title granted to him by the people.
"Divine Emperor of Death, huh?"
Davis wondered why he should change his title at this point, but agreeing that he wasn't just 'death' but also 'life' ever since he created the Everlasting Samsara Tribunal Soul Physique, he couldn't help but raise his hand.
Frowning his brows, he took out a message talisman that glowed. It was another type of messaging talisman that could be used without having to open one's mouth, as soul transmissions also worked. When he activated it, a transmission fell into his mind.
"You fool! Stop it!"
"Why?" Davis smilingly raised his brows as he heard Myria's voice, "You're jealous?"
"You… freaking… br- ahh!!!"
There was a sudden scream and a long pause, causing Davis to blink. Had he said something offensive?
"Listen closely. Things went south for me when people conferred on me the title of Divine Saintess. Why? That's because the title 'Divine' comes with an unbelievable amount of karmic burden that even Immortal Emperors wouldn't necessarily be able to withstand! Have you ever seen someone with the title Divine in the mortal world!? Such a title wouldn't even carelessly exist in the immortal world, much less in the mortal world! Do you want to die so badly in your heavenly tribulation!? Stop them before it's too late!!!"
By the time Myria finished her message, it became apparent that she was heavily incensed to remain calm. However, the recipient was utterly stunned.
Davis couldn't help but raise his head as he looked around.
Stop them? Stop who?
Inclining his head to look at the top of the Blood Soul Contract Monument that undoubtedly had sharp and deathly words inscribed with his rigid gaze, Davis comprehended that it was already too late.
[Divine Emperor of Death, Davis Alstreim]
"…!"
Suddenly, his expression changed!
At that very instance, heavy karmic pressure began eating him from the inside, making him feel as though hundreds and thousands of mountains were trying to crush him!
