Chapter 2740 Refusal To Share

"That's right." Evelynn solemnly nodded, "It's too dangerous."

"And you didn't even have your soul essence shared with Everlight to try something that caused your death again. You are not a careless person, so why?" Isabella narrowed her brows.

Despite the possibilities and implications, the others also shared Mingzhi's sentiments as they glared at Davis, causing him to reel as he took a step back in a conscience-stricken state.

He was already more powerful than anyone they had seen in the immortal world. Even Myria nor Nyx Godwin, who was ranked first in the Aurora Cloud Gate's Immortal Rankings, weren't a match for him, so why was there a need for him to be this suicidal in attempting to increase his prowess?

Davis also understood this matter, and even their emotions towards him only wished for him to stay alive, so that was why he couldn't reply immediately. However, he took a deep breath and dropped his smile.

"Did you all think that I wouldn't make a bold move if I didn't have something to fall back on?"

"...!"

His words suddenly cast a flame in their hearts, causing the layer of glass known as 'avoid risks' to form a crack and perhaps even shatter. Unknowingly, some of them realized that they had come to avoid risks in order to stay safe. Whether it was because of family or prioritizing the safety of others by not bringing them trouble, they realized that they subconsciously limited themselves.

Suddenly, they found themselves becoming ashamed.

Did they put too much responsibility on him, disallowing him to grow stronger...?

Mingzhi put her finger down, wanting to say something as her devilish red lips quivered. She wanted to live with him for eternity, but that fantasy too entranced her that she had forgotten about the lengths Davis went to secure them a happy life. Realizing this, she was unable to berate him anymore.

"I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to demean your efforts. It's just... I... we don't want to lose you no matter the cost..."

Tears emerged in Mingzhi's eyes. The things that he did were utterly dangerous, and he had actually died. The likelihood of him dying again was very high if he continued to practice this madness, making her want to stop him, but she couldn't bring herself to anymore, not when he spoke in this manner that said that they didn't believe in him.

"What are you saying?" Davis's expression became dismayed, his hand reaching out to wipe Mingzhi's tears, "I started with nothing, so I have nothing to fear other than losing you all. As long as we could think like this and stay united, nothing could stop us."

Mingzhi's teary eyes gazed at him as she gave a light nod.

"That said, if I knew for a fact that I was going to die, I wouldn't have played like that either. It was just that my calculations were wrong, which rarely happens, but that's my fault, so there's no need to worry anymore, as I won't attempt to combine nor fuse Destruction Laws and Chaos Laws. Heck, I couldn't do it even if I wanted to as my chaos energy stemming from my martial dantian is way more in capacity than destruction energy converted from my essence energy that's lightning and flame attributed in nature, which makes it practically impossible to achieve the required balance it needs to stay afloat instead of being repulsed into collapse."

Davis alleviated their concerns with his words, causing Evelynn and the others to finally heave a sigh of relief.

He wasn't lying as his imagination stopped with imagination this time. After all, he had already died once just from a strand of destruction and chaos, causing his body to implode from within, so if he tried to change his body to adapt to both chaos and destruction, he was completely sure that it would be a one-way ticket to the reincarnation cycle.

On second thought, he wondered if his spiritual soul essence would still remain in this world to be capable of entering the reincarnation cycle.

But still, the fact that he was able to use Destruction Laws alone was a necessary boon to be had from this event, causing him to start thinking of countless ways to improve on it.

"Anyhow... master, share me your soul essence. I need it to revive you again in case anything untoward like this were to happen."

"..." Davis's gaze fell on Everlight, blinking, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

Everlight's giant fox eyes blinked, unable to understand what to make of it. He did say that he wouldn't try dangerous things, but that didn't mean he wouldn't face danger from other powerful and higher immortals.

"Is this about facing danger without having anything to fall back on?" Mingzhi sniffled as her nose creased, "Please don't be egotistic about this matter. I will apologize again, okay?"

"Haha." Davis couldn't help but chuckle as he shook his head.

"Ego?" He turned to look at Everlight, "I said that it's fine and that you don't need to be scared. Any more karmic burden from me, and you will attain a state of death even if you don't die. How can I kill you or seal your potential with my own hands, Everlight? You're my woman whom I must protect."

"..."

Everlight was unable to reply. It was true that she felt scared, but she also knew her responsibility here as a Nine Lives Gracious Fox. It was to keep everyone alive until all her nine lives ran out, so for Davis to stop her, she was momentarily dumbfounded, especially when he dropped the 'mine' word on her, causing her to stop thinking altogether.

Davis smiled lightly at her before turning to look at another person who found him utterly ridiculous and probably stubborn beyond compare for not listening to their warning.

"So, Lereza, what are you going to do? This palace is now unbound, free of my control. If you want, you can go to Myria. I won't hold it against you."

"..."

Everyone turned to look at Lereza, waiting for her reply that was of the utmost importance, but also, they realized that every life jade that Davis had poured a bit of his soul essence into must've broken, causing them to worry if their people back in the Grand Beginnings Continent would worry to death, not to mention the Aurora Cloud Gate that might come to investigate soon.
