Chapter 2286 A Glimpse?

Davis, Lea, Myria, and Sect Master Bing Luli arrived at the Mystic Ice Sect that was nearby.

Due to this matter, his women were awoken out of seclusion as their avatars had been aware of what went on. He had calmed them during flight, saying that it was nothing and just that he was p.i.s.sed off by the unfairness of the world, but they obviously didn't buy it, coming to know from Tia that his karmic burden had increased, and consequently weren't in the mood to cultivate either.

He let them be for a while as he could feel their worry.

Nonetheless, he sent Lea back to Ancestor Cornelia while Sect Master Bing Luli also took her to leave, leaving them alone. As for the Founder, he returned to the Alstreim Family.

""

Davis's thoughts couldn't help but wander as Myria's words made him think that this c.r.a.p would've happened in due time, only was brought about altogether at a single instance instead of gradually nearing him.

'So even if nothing happened today, the people might confer me upon the t.i.tle 'Divine' to commemorate my achievements.'

Davis's expression became ironic.

Never did he expect the people of this world to push him into a pit by praising him to death. His horizons were truly broadened as a result.

After landing on Myria's ice palace, he felt like asking if Lereza had any ideas about his current situation but turned to look at Myria as he opened his mouth.

"So?"

"What?"

"I broke the Blood Soul Contract Monument and warned the people to not call me by my new t.i.tle. Did I stop 'them'?"

"It's useless." Myria shook her head, "The trillions of lives in this world have already acknowledged you. If you want them to take it back, why don't you go slaughter them so that their acknowledgment doesn't exist anymore, although I don't even know if this method would even work or not."

"Slaughtering trillions?"

Davis couldn't help but chuckle as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. His kill count was in the millions, but Myria suggested that he kill trillions of lives? And she doesn't even know if this method would work?

Honestly, he felt like throwing his head up and laughing crazily at the unending troubles the heavens gave him.

What was it trying to do? Catch him slipping up?

'Well, this was bound to happen as long as I have Fallen Heaven'

Consoling himself ruefully, he kept his gaze forward, raising them up a little bit.

"It seems we won't be meeting again in this lifetime. Any last words to Ellia?"

"Oye"

"I'm not kidding." Myria clenched her fists, "Even worse, I'm angered. I went out of my way for you, wasting my time to create a spirit formation that might help you in your heavenly tribulation, almost halfway done, but you caused it to worsen?"

Davis opened his mouth, intending to say that it was not his fault but scoffed and looked away.

"..."

There was a moment of silence between them as Myria stared, her lips moving after some pause.

"I don't sense any karmic virtue or karmic sin from you. I take it you're hiding them?"

"Yeah." Davis unhesitatingly nodded.

"How much karmic virtue do you possess?"

"Well, a little bit over-!"

Davis abruptly went stiff as he activated his karmic prowess and checked the amount of karmic virtue he held.

It was barely three meters tall. However, it wasn't white or bright gold. It was purplish-gold in hue, causing him to gawk. The fact that it had changed colors from white to bright gold meant an increase in the karmic virtue's realm but now, it possessed a purplish-gold hue, making him reel in disbelief!

Doesn't this mean that the karmic virtue he held had reached a further level that he hadn't seen!?

However, Davis could swear that there was almost nothing there a day ago. After all, he had saved hundreds of billions of people but he hadn't received anything? He was truly p.i.s.sed off but decided to not dwell on it to save his sanity.

Nonetheless, he had only little karmic virtue as he had used them up on Epsila, so what was going on here?

His gaze couldn't help but fall on Myria for answers.

"By the way you reacted, you didn't even realize you had that much." Her brows narrowed, "As expected. It's that d.a.m.ned treasure hiding those two karmic factors, not yourself."

"And?" Davis expected more answers, not listening to the same answers he already knew.

"How much you got?" She asked again to which Davis instantly replied.

"It looks three meters tall and appears to be purple-gold in hue."

Myria's eyes momentarily widened before she couldn't help but find it funny.

"Again as expected. Saving trillions of lives will indeed cause the cosmos to acknowledge that you deserve the t.i.tle 'Divine' but whether you have the capability or not depends entirely on yourself and your fate. For Anarchic Divergents like us, it usually wouldn't end well and I learned it rather late."

"I'm not blaming you but if you knew, why didn't you say it beforehand?"

"Will knowing it make any difference?" Myria sneered, "Knowing you, you would save them regardless."

"Of course not! I value my own life over strangers and even innocents but the thing is, don't forget 'we' attracted this calamity. I'm not willing to see innocents die because of me just like you are."

""

Myria went silent over his words but feeling the pause become awkward, Davis continued.

"So, what's this purple-gold karmic virtue? Will it be of any use to me?"

Myria didn't quickly answer. She still stared at him as though wanting to get back at him before she finally opened her mouth.

"As a mortal, saving millions will allow you to have a comparatively easier tribulation, only if you didn't have even a bit of negative factors coming into play. This is denoted by having a white hue karmic virtue; the first tier karmic virtue."

"The second tier of karmic virtue, appearing bright-gold. Saving billions will give you this kind of karmic virtue and your heavenly tribulation will lower one level as a result."

"As for the third tier karmic virtue: purple-gold, you have to save trillions of lives for it, which you did. Congratulations, your heavenly tribulation will decrease in difficulty by two levels. Perhaps, you might be able to live, after all"

Myria displayed a rare smile behind her veil but he couldn't tell if she was mocking or truly congratulating him.

""

Nonetheless, Davis's face didn't possess a smile.

What was the use of having so much karmic virtue when he didn't have much karmic sin?

After all, to use Karmicgrace or Karmicblight, he must have an equal amount of karmic virtue and karmic sin regardless of whichever ability he was going to use.

However, where could he go plunder third-tier karmic sin? Even the current Grand Beginnings Continent didn't have that many evildoers and vile Legacy Artifacts. To gather karmic sin, he could only go commit ma.s.s slaughter randomly but then, wouldn't that be the same as what Myria sarcastically suggested? Bringing him back to the start once more like it was a loop?

"Ff-"

Davis almost cursed but knowing that Myria didn't like it, he forcefully closed his mouth but opened it again.

"Well, even if you didn't save trillions of lives like me, you saved billions, right? How come I don't see karmic virtue on you?"

"I'm hiding it just like you are but there's not much." Myria shook her head, "Unlike karmic sin, karmic virtue factors the weight of acknowledgment, meaning that only if the individual acknowledged that you have helped them and that it is true in reality will you receive karmic virtue. Even if the individual didn't acknowledge the act or is unaware, it may or may not come to you in due time depending on various factors I am not aware of."

"And when it concerns more than one individual, it follows the eighty percent rule, meaning that if eight out of ten people accepted that you saved them, then the remaining two people's acknowledgment will also be taken as accepted regardless, giving you the entire amount of karmic virtue for the people you saved."

'Ah, no wonder I received all karmic virtue at once and didn't even realize'

Davis wondered if it was because he was a black hole in the system as Fallen Heaven just absorbs every karmic sin and karmic virtue coming his way.

"That's why karmic virtue is very difficult to obtain while karmic sin is many times easier to obtain as you would just have to kill and do evil things while the heaven and earth would arbitrarily judge you but the latter is why the wicked path exists."

Myria concluded her speech, her lips curving into a cold sneer, "Now get out before I kick you out."

"Alright."

Davis turned around and left without a word of grat.i.tude, knowing that he had been caught staring at her b.r.e.a.s.t.s multiple times.

However, what could he do? Her charming eyes were getting even more attractive, so he had no choice but to move his gaze which inevitably fell on her bosoms every time as though being heavily enticed. He felt that it was rather a miracle as she had let him off generously without raising her hand even once.

But still, Davis felt somewhat distressed in front of her, not because of superior or inferior emotions but because of innate attraction. This was something he never experienced before, causing him to feel strange about her, and each time he met her, he had this vague feeling that it was getting worse, further making him wonder if it was just his delusion.

'I wonder if Myria is experiencing the same or is it just me?'

From the way he saw it, she was just staring daggers at him from time to time, so he shook his head, thinking that it was not possible.
