Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 953 Do Your Best To Earn Forgiveness



While Ancestor Dian Alstreim was hesitating, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim widened his eyes in shock.

His face scrunched up in hesitation.

His daughter was sharp, even in her weakened state. She noticed that Ancestor Dian Alstreim was closing in on them for taking responsibility for their misuse of authority, past manipulations of civil laws and wrongs, but due to the lack of evidence, it remained difficult to sentence them.

That's why the Ancestor took the initiative to have them confess to lessen her sentence. This way, every single one of them other than Nora Alstreim and Patriarch Eldric Alstreim would be imprisoned.

However, what he felt hesitation wasn't for this... He felt hesitant about whether to allow her to do this or not.

Was it worth it sacrifice his daughter's social life and status to absolve him of his crimes? Absolutely not!

But the problem remained that no matter how they echoed, Ancestor Dian Alstreim wouldn't change his mind to announce Elise Alstreim's achievement due to the importance of the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source. Even he knew that the consequences would be dire if information about this were to ever spread.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes, "So you do accept that you have erred in the past."

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim chuckled, "Hehe... I was blind and foolish enough to make the first mistake of my life. Now that I have seen that... that Young Master's character, for who he truly is... I don't want to involve myself with him ever again."

"You have made a sensible decision to cut off the bad apple, but what about Nora Alstreim then? Hasn't she erred as well?"

"Me?" Nora Alstreim became taken aback as she heard the Ancestor name her suddenly, and seeing that she was really in focus, she exclaimed.

"I didn't do anything!"

"Don't feign ignorance..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows in disappointment.

Nora Alstreim shook her head, "No... I-"

"In any case, can Ancestor swear on your law-heart?" Grand Elder Elise Alstreim interrupted.

She felt that the conversation was heading in a negative direction, which is disadvantageous for them.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim stared a good while before he removed his gaze from Nora Alstreim. He thought for a while, thinking, what was the use of him pursuing them for their wrongs? Even if he stopped pursuing them, there were still two people, a woman, and her child bent on getting revenge.

What could he do to stop them? He could only stop them from creating chaos and not deny them from getting their rightful justice.

"Fine, I'll swear on my law-heart."

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression lit up in glee. However, the same couldn't be said about the others as Grand Elder Elise Alstreim was still going to be an eternal sinner who brought a calamity to the Alstreim Family. They couldn't stomach that thought, but they were helpless to do anything about it. They didn't have another valid and sound choice.

"However, I want you all to do the same, to not speak a word about the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source unless the other party already knows about it."

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim nodded her head and swore an oath, fulfilling the condition. The others also followed suit before Ancestor Dian Alstreim then swore an oath in front of them.

"Rest well... I'll tell Krax Alstreim to inform the other Grand Elders to turn a blind eye towards your 'wrongdoing'. In truth, they have already started gathering outside, but I told them to stay put, so don't worry. They won't pursue you anymore." Ancestor Dian Alstreim emphasized before he nodded his head once, "You can use the Crimson Heart Blood Pill in the Treasury to restore your blood essence."

"Crimson Heart Blood Pill!? That Mid-Level Emperor Grade Healing Pill!?" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's face flushed in glee. Although he was not satisfied with a few things, he gave a ninety-degree bow to Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

The other two followed suit with respect as they bowed.

Besides, the fact that the Ancestor provided them with a rare and extremely difficult to obtain Crimson Heart Blood Pill to heal Grand Elder Elise Alstreim proved that he still cares about them like an elder.

The Crimson Heart Blood Pill is a healing pill that helped recover a Law Sea Stage Expert's Blood Essence. It granted vitality and even healed hidden injuries that are present in the heart. When a person condenses blood essence from their heart, it is possible to leave hidden injuries that would flare up later in their life, possibly when they weak. The Crimson Heart Blood Pill is even capable of healing a Martial Sage Stage Expert, but to a less degree as the difference in vitality was enormous between Law Sea Stage Expert and Martial Sage Stage Expert!

There's only one of it in the Treasury, and it required the permission of the Ancestor, or six or more Grand Elders to procure it. Perhaps, it was her reward for obtaining the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source, but it still came off as a sign of good faith for reconciliation.

Contrary to their thoughts, Ancestor Dian Alstreim just felt that the people were too pitiable to be on the bad side of their revenge list. He felt like a father, not able to see his children struggle against each other. If possible, he wanted to save them as all humans possess a selfish side to them, wanting to improve themselves and the ones close to them. It was precisely because he understood this was he also in conflict with how to go deal with this matter.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim left, but before he left, he did not forget to leave a sentence that might help them make a better decision in the upcoming future.

"Perhaps, the day of reckoning will come soon... At that time, one should give their best to earn forgiveness."

This time, all of them were stunned without a sliver of difference in their expressions. They all looked at each other, wondering whose forgiveness they should earn.

Clearly, it was not the Ancestor as they had already exchanged oaths.

A few seconds passed in silence before a voice finally echoed.

"In any case, looks like I don't need to beg the Conferred Queen for a bit of nectar anymore." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim sighed in relief. However, he looked at his daughter and reprimanded her.

"Elise, I'll try to procure resources for you to improve your Body Tempering Cultivation. So, as soon as you are healed after consuming the Crimson Heart Blood Pill, you must start training your Body Tempering Cultivation and reach the Martial Master Stage! This way, you will completely recover your health in a decade!"

"Hehem... Not only your health but also your beauty..."

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression didn't have a change of expression, but she instantly nodded her head when she heard the last sentence, causing all of them to laugh lightly.

However, a voice suddenly echoed.

"Did Ancestor mention about me just a while ago?" Nora Alstreim narrowed her brows as she felt confused and wronged.

"Perhaps we're reading too much into this..." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim stopped laughing and shook his head, "The Ancestor looked above as he spoke, so I believe that he spoke about the Calamity Light that is hanging over our heads..."

"I think so too..." Patriarch Eldric Alstreim nodded his head in agreement.

However, Nora Alstreim felt that something was strange with the Ancestor. It was almost as if the Ancestor was warning them out of kindness and good intentions.

It was just that... What kind of offense did she commit? She couldn't remember as far as she could recall!
