It was unknown how much time had pa.s.sed among dusty ruins of the destroyed mountain ranges, but when Davis"s shot his eyes wide open, he could intrinsically feel that he was in control of a new law!

During the time of comprehension, he didn"t notice that he lost all signs of life because the black tendrils from Fallen Heaven had influenced him. So he was unaware of how the Death Book instinctively reacted to his comprehension.

He took a deep breath and was about to conjure the new law when he turned cautious as the second thing he noticed was he didn"t know how much time had pa.s.sed.

A second? A minute? An hour? Or more than that?

It was still day, and the sun more or less shone from the same position, but what if exactly a day had pa.s.sed?

He had ultimately become defenseless during his comprehension state, but seeing that nothing happened to him while he stayed floating at the same location in the air, he squinted his eyes and noticed that the soul essences of the magical beasts that were dead still hadn"t disappeared.

That meant only a few minutes had pa.s.sed at best. He could ask Fallen Heaven for confirmation, but he didn"t mind about it anymore since he knew the answer.

"Fallen Heaven, collect all those soul essences for me..."

"Are you sure? Judging by the quality, they would probably help you only a little bit..." Fallen Heaven"s deep voice sounded in his soul sea.

"I would like to confirm that myself..." Davis calmly replied.

"Alright..."

Fallen Heaven didn"t speak much and collected all the soul essences in a kilometer radius. Clearly, its range had tremendously grown after he had stepped into the Supreme Soul Stage.

Perhaps that was the difference between the Mature Soul Stage and Supreme Soul Stage. In Supreme Soul Stage, not only was the soul force capacity nearing the Essence Gathering Cultivation"s Law Dominion Stage, and it was also able to defend against millions of kilograms of physical force from the Body Tempering Cultivation"s Martial Ascendance Stage attacks!

And with the usage of the death-like energy that was incredibly deadly to lives, he more or less was able to fight across a stage, becoming capable of killing the aggressive plant lifeform with pure power!

Of course, if he had just fought openly, attacking and slas.h.i.+ng the vines with the death-like energy before making it to its body eventually, perhaps he might have completely expended all of his soul force before being crushed to death from the lack of energy.

At that time, he could only wait for death or try to escape as he had initially planned.

That"s why he had to bait it out and kill it in one single strike! Fortunately, he had succeeded!

Davis started moving around every corner of the mountain as seconds pa.s.sed by, helping it collect the thousands of soul essences scattered around the Sunset Tear Mountain since Fallen Heaven"s range was limited to a kilometer radius.

When all those soul essences were pulled out of the magical beast carca.s.ses, it formed a whirlpool of thick soul undulations around him as it congregated towards him while entering his soul sea.

Davis let out a chuckle as he noticed the commotion the collection of soul essences created. At that time, when he ma.s.sacred two armies consisting of millions in the past, he was regretful that he didn"t manage to collect their souls, but looking at it now, he knew that his instincts and decision was correct.

All those soul essences converging to him wouldn"t definitely make the Emperors at that time notice him. His facade of being the mysterious senior who was rumored to be an Immortal Existence would"ve never been birthed.

Instead, he was the one who would"ve been killed while the Loret Empire would"ve met a tragic fate, including his parents.

"Mhm?"

Thinking like this, Davis abruptly thought if he had changed the flow of fate back then with Fallen Heaven"s powers.

"Fallen Heaven"s powers are fate changing, considering that it could quickly kill a person regardless of their destiny or lifespan... It even influences the fates of the people around me to some degree as if it were a pa.s.sive effect..."

Glyn, Agis Stirlander, and Arianna Woller. These three people were the only ones who had their fates changed under his watch, but for Glyn, instead of his lifespan expanding, it was probably severed, ending him up abruptly dead.

He didn"t know how many people, or perhaps even magical beasts, had their fates influenced by Fallen Heaven right under his nose.

Davis wasn"t naive to think his fate hadn"t changed. The moment Fallen Heaven had landed in his grasp, he was able to overcome many difficulties without putting tremendous effort. Although there were some steep paths, everything had been smooth sailing for him.

All this made him feel like there was a big conspiracy behind him, like he was in the hands of someone, dancing on their palms according to their play, entertaining themselves in the process.

Heaving a sigh, Davis shook his head and didn"t ponder on it anymore as it would just affect his determination. His will would become weak, and he would be afraid of everything incomprehensible to him in the future.

He wanted to avoid that and keep his will firm.

Davis then counted the number of soul essences that got stored in his soul sea, growing in number as time pa.s.sed.

Hundred...

Thousand...

Fifteen thousand...

When those soul essences entered his soul sea, they were all suppressed and compressed and kept by the side of the Death Book.

Fifty thousand...

Hundred thousand...

Two hundred thousand...

Five hundred thousand...

One million!...

One million, three hundred, and sixty-five thousand soul essences!

The number of lives killed by the flailing vines was precisely this count!

It was such a large number that Davis felt the urge to spit at some beings because it didn"t even cause his soul essence to shudder, much less give him the impression that it would help him increase his soul essence and soul force.

After all, his Soul Forging Cultivation was at the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, while these Soul Essences ranged from the First Stage to the Sixth Stage, with the majority of them being at the Second Stage.

From this, it could be seen that not a single Seventh Stage was unluckily dead. To kill a Lord Beast Stage that could easily dodge the flailing vines with ease... Too difficult!

Of course, unless the plant lifeform explicitly targeted them, it was just too difficult for the randomly flailing vines to flatten those Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts to death.

There were also the soul essences of humans, but they were also weak, many at the Fifth Stage, and a few at the Sixth Stage. He knew that there were many mercenaries and adventure groups who were willing to come here to hunt, gain wealth and adventure, so he wasn"t surprised.

It was too bad they all got implicated because of him; because of his action to provoke the aggressive plant lifeform.

Davis felt some pity, but since they were already laying their lives to earn on a mountain that had hidden such an existence, he didn"t see why this existence wouldn"t become a calamity in the future.

Just its hundreds and thousands of flailing vines had killed millions... If it entered a city and targeted humans, wouldn"t it have ma.s.sacred billions?
