Divine Emperor of Death - Chapter 3772: Reunited Safely?
“What!? Shirley has been found!?”
Davis screamed into the messaging talisman, causing Clara on the other side to move her head behind slightly. She could understand her big brother’s worry, but she didn’t expect him to lose her composure.
She inwardly sighed, wondering how much he was controlling himself from descending on the towns to scour for his wives but instead chose to safeguard the family. She wished he didn’t have to choose between the two.
“Yes, brother. Everything is mostly fine. We have found her and are moments away from returning to the Highnode Town. From there, I plan to have Shirley’s avatar locked up since I’m appearing as a Heaven’s Warrior and then allow her to escape the town walls.”
“Really? I don’t know… what to say.” Davis was at a loss for words.
He didn’t instruct anything specific other than to tell them to stay safe and move covertly until found out and, if need be, unleash all hell. For them to have completed one of their tasks without causing much trouble, he didn’t know if his luck was good or if they were highly skilled in fooling people.
He was afraid Clara wouldn’t be able to maintain her image as a Heaven’s Warrior and would quickly be exposed.
He heaved a breath, smiling a second later.
“Thank you, Clara. Thank you for bringing back Shirley safely.”
His voice was full of relief, causing Clara to produce an inevitable smile.
That gratefulness was enough to make her feel like she accomplished something great. She couldn’t remember when she had last received such praise. Was it in her childhood?
‘No… it was when I brought Shirley to revive him…’
She couldn’t help but feel happy that her actions played a significant part in his life. After all, all she had done in the past few years was bring constant trouble.
“I can’t have done it alone. The others were of great help, especially Yilla and Lanqua, who supported me during a few times I almost made suspicious comments. I’m not being humble.”
“I told you. You can rely on them as they’re smart.”
Davis felt a bit of pride, but his expression turned solemn, “I take it that Evelynn and Isabella haven’t been found yet. Don’t worry. First, get Shirley here as you planned, and we can think of something to continue the search.”
“Mhm.” Clara nodded.
She furrowed her brows, “Brother, there might be a problem…”
“What is it?”
Davis asked, causing Clara to explain about the white-haired Heaven’s Warrior, making Davis understand this was what she meant by mostly fine.
“Alright. You can share the specifics with your main body or use up these secure messaging talismans again. However, be careful. You only have two more messaging talismans, and the range is only around three hundred to three hundred and fifty million kilometers, extending a bit more after Highnode Town.”
“Yes.” Clara nodded.
She was aware that these messaging talismans were obtained from the supreme geniuses whom they captured in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm, so these were precious items that were valued as much as Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Treasures.

Their range was great. If they weren’t secured, then their range would be at least three times higher.
Unfortunately, they didn’t give this to Evelynn, Shirley, and Isabella, thinking they wouldn’t need it since they would return after the Candidacy. After all, they only had five.
Yilla used one, and Clara used one now, leaving only three pairs.
Clara has two more, while Tanya possesses another.
On the other hand, their avatar’s range was only two times better than their soul sense, but the more the range exceeded their soul sense’s maximum range, the less they would be able to communicate properly.
Nonetheless, after she had informed her big brother about the situation with the white-haired Heaven’s Warrior, she knew the matter was basically dealt with and deactivated the messaging talisman.
*Crack!~*
The stone inscribed with strange inscriptions had many forms cracking in it before it became a mere spatial-sound stone that could be used to amplify sound, but the sound would be more like that of a monster due to the cracked spaces.
Clara threw the cracked stone into her spatial ring and continued to wait alone in her room until she reached Highnode Town. She continued to stay there while letting Shirley escape with the help of Panqa and Zanqua.
After ten minutes, Shirley finally reunited with Davis and the others.
After their intimacy, she returned her gaze to the front, feeling at home even in this foreign land.
She had been hiding in Revera Town for some time, stuck in a foreign land without any of her sisters in sight. It was horrible for her as any step she would take would end in disaster. After all, this was the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm, where even Empyreans and Autarchs were present as sect leaders and grand figures, yet Clara came out of nowhere to save her again as she had done in the past.
“Davis. Clara… she…”
She reported Clara’s condition and told him it was not over yet.
“Well, that was expected.”
Davis smirked, “We still need the Seraphim Race’s blood in order to cure this affliction, although, to the common populace, heaven’s influence may be perceived as a blessing.”
He chuckled, patting Shirley’s head.
“Don’t worry. We don’t abandon anyone without trying hard enough to die, much less separate from our loved ones without using up all avenues.”
“Mhm!~”
Shirley nodded excitedly.
“Now that you’re here stay hidden. I’m thinking of a way to leave the realm after we find Evelynn and Isabella and set up Stella’s base-”
“No, you first take this!~”
Shirley extended out her palms and displayed the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills.
“…!”
Their mere appearance caused Davis and the others to jump in awe and shock as they hurriedly tried to hide it.
However, Shirley kept giggling like a child as she pulled her hands back.
“Don’t worry. The pill is sealed to its utmost limit. There’s a very minute layer of strange energy around the pill that is blocking the pill essence from leaking. This is even better than jade containers…”
Shirley opened her palms again and revealed five Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills. However, all of them were Minor Realm Pills.
“…”
It caused the excited Shirley’s expression to pop like a balloon as her face wilted. She finally remembered.
“I’m sorry. Evelynn, Isabella, and I absorbed one Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill made from Lower Realm each, leaving only two more available. However, they are with Evelynn and Isabella, one each. On the other hand, I have the highest amount of Minor Realm Pills. We decided to do this because-”
She explained to him how the World Master said that they might separate during the teleportation due to their unity in causing a bend in the fabric of fate through divergence.
“You picked the short end of the stick, which is me.”
Shirley stuck out her bottom lips, looking like she was going to cry, “I’m so unlucky…”
“…”
Davis blinked before his lips widely parted.
“Pfft, ahaa! That doesn’t matter. What matters is you are back.”
“Darling…”
Shirley bit her lips, feeling like she could kiss him for a few minutes more, but leaped at him and kissed his cheeks instead before trying to place the pills in his hand.
It was a gesture of her loyalty to him that everything belonged to him.
However, Davis refused, shaking his head while keeping his palms closed.
Truthfully, he didn’t feel like it was a bummer. After all, even with the Lower Realm Pill, it wasn’t of much use to him at the moment as he was going to remain in the Immortal King Stage until he found a place that would allow him to break through without getting much attention.
On the other hand, he felt Shirley’s appearance would be a blessing if she carried five of these hot pills. After all, his beauties, who were mostly in the Immortal Emperor Stage, needed this badly. If they absorbed its essence and their powers increased, then they would be all-powerful Empyreans while still in the High-Level Immortal Emperor Stage.
The problem was choosing who the five lucky women were going to be, as he was sure everyone would like a hand on it.
Davis grabbed Shirley’s fist and gestured at an icy-white-robed woman to the side.
“Give one to Tanya with your own hand.”
“…”
Shirley blinked before she turned to look at Tanya.
A huge smile emerged on her face while Tanya shuddered.
It would be a lie if she said the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill’s awe-inspiring aura didn’t move her, but she didn’t expect to be the first one to get it.
