Divine Emperor of Death -
Chapter 4803: Anchoring The Mini-Realm
"Wooo~"
Stella landed on the surface of the mountain against the stone, her feet brushing against it. She straightened and slowly turned her head, eyes sweeping across her surroundings.
It was different than the place she last remembered.
What had once been a barren stretch of mountains filled with spatial energy was now a dense mountain forest, layers upon layers of towering ancient trees rising toward the skies. Verdant canopies overlapped, blotting out most of the light, while thick undergrowth sprawled across the slopes.
Spiritual flora flourished everywhere, some glowing faintly with elemental hues, others exuding rich vitality that caused the air itself to feel heavy and moist.
Magical beasts of all kinds lurked within the forest, yet none dared to approach.
From distant valleys and shadowed areas, pairs of wary eyes observed them in silence. The beasts had clearly been driven away from their territories earlier, displaced from their nests and hunting grounds. Now, they lingered at the fringes of the mountain forest, restless and uneasy, waiting to see whether these intruders would soon depart or their places would be claimed forever.
Stella tilted her head slightly, a faint frown adorning her brows for the lack of spatial energy in this place, but the heaven and earth energy's concentration was better than the one where she had previously established the Second Void Dust Sanctuary.
She released her sense into the mountain range and found an earth vein that produced energy. It aligned with the illusory sky veins present in the skies, creating a region filled with dense heaven and earth energy.
"This is fine…" Stella nodded lightly.
She already believed she was somewhere in the Upper Realm Space, even instinctively understanding in which layer she was, since she could already tell the number of spatial layers within this layer was far denser and higher in number, posing a greater restriction to lifeforms.
However, she noticed that Isabella and the others were somewhat frozen in place.
"What's wrong?" She raised her hand and waved at them.
Only after a few seconds did Evelynn react, "It seems like it was only an illusion stemming from our fears?"
"Really? No reason for everyone to be affected, right?" Shirley said with some suspicion, her brows curled with unease.
"The magical beasts around aren't afraid. It must've been our imagination." Isabella still felt the chill, causing her to cross her arms and rub her shoulders with a shiver.
"It must've been some kind of premonition." Schleya uttered coldly, "Since Stella doesn't seem to be aware of it, it is possible it only affected those of us who basked in the invisible strings of fate of the descending world of Divergents as husband described vaguely. Regardless, we should keep our wide eyes open and react accordingly."
"Well said." Mingzhi and the others nodded.
They turned to look at Stella collectively and checked if anything was wrong with her. For a moment, they thought she might explode. Fortunately, that didn't happen. She was stable, and the mini-realm inside her also seemed to be stable as it could be.
Otherwise, she would at least be shaking in her legs.
Mingzhi waved her hand, "Stella, this is the place we have decided to settle. The earth vein is in there. Please find a spatial node near it and anchor the mini-realm there."
"How about I create a new mini-realm that's the size of a Minor Realm?" Stella offered.
Shirley wryly smiled, "We don't have time for that. How long will it take to create? We have like one day to finish most of the stuff."
"Then I guess we can think about it later. I can't tell without starting the process since my capabilities have improved after consuming the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill. Besides, using this ring can drastically decrease the time required to construct it. Can I have it back?" Stella moved her hands up, tapping her index fingers with a shrewd glint in her eyes.
"Aha~" Isabella giggled, "Pouting won't do you any good here. Davis needs it back. Without it, he can't return to us."
"Okay~"
Stella nodded before descending down the mountain and finding a good spot.
She focused and tried bringing out her mini-realm, but her expression soon turned peculiar before she began to sweat. Stopping for a moment, she turned to look back and smiled shyly.
"Ugh, without that ring, it is really difficult to move my mini-realm."
"…"
Isabella exchanged glances with the others. They could only hope Stella wouldn't act like Calypsea, creating problems. They were afraid Stella might refuse to give it back, but considering she had already given it back once, Isabella nodded.
She unbound the ring, causing a backlash to occur as blood swelled up her throat, but she forcefully suppressed it and gave the Temporal Voidplane Ring to Stella.
Stella accepted it and nearly jumped in excitement. She instantly wore it and bound it.
As an Empyrean Stage Void Dust Tree, she appeared to be greatly compatible with the Temporal Voidplane Ring. To these replica treasures, compatibility was not a must, but most required it, and the more compatible the users were, the better they could use it.
Wearing it brought her great joy and made her feel more secure. She was like a fish swimming in the sea, armored with extremely dense scales and fins that allowed her to skip through all obstacles.
With a spread of her hands, she summoned the mini-realm out of her system after unanchoring it. The spatial sphere, comprised of many sub-layers, imposed itself onto the world, creating a heavy atmosphere. The spatial sphere descended, and Stella's spatial roots spread out, linking itself with the earth vein and aligning with the sky vein before finally anchoring itself to the spatial node.
In three hours, the mini-realm was stabilized!
Evelynn and the others heaved a breath of relief. Their Davis Family finally had a foothold in the Upper Realms. However, whether they can keep it or not was a different matter.
*Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~*
One by one, all the non-Divergent Immortal Emperors of the Davis Family dashed to the skies, summoning their tribulations.
Isabella was recuperating.
Shirley was the first one to dash off, followed by Niera, Dalila, Bylai, Aila, Mira, Juili, Eterna, Celestia, Azariel, and Viridia.
On the surface of another mountain, a metal spirit was hurriedly chugging all the metals and minerals into her mouth. Her Empyrean Stage cultivation was shooting up without a stop, nearing the Exalt Stage one level at a time.
After having been beaten by Rioxys Plume in terms of cultivation level, Melluca didn't want to lose out. Anticipating this day, she had already stored an incredible amount of metal energy for her breakthrough, even bringing out Empyrean Grade Metal Essence Orbs like they were leisurely drinks.
The Davis Family did not mind nurturing her since she was Bylai's spirit.
Regardless, she wasn't the only one who was on the way to becoming an Exalt. The spirits did not need to comprehend Laws. They were the Laws.
Pia, Starcy, Nightveil, and Niera's spirit, Reignisia, were also using the Exalt Stage resources they brought to hurriedly make their way to the Exalt Spirit Stage.
Evelynn and Lucian watched this all happen with a hint of pride and envy.
She stretched out her hand, caressing Lucian's head, "Don't worry. Your father should be taking you with him."
Lucian chuckled lightly, "What about you, first mother?"
