Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 40

One could see that Logan and Claire had question marks all over their face. They both didn't know why he got serious all of a sudden.
"Both of you should know that lying to Clara is forbidden as she possesses the Transcendent Truth Eyes. Have you both ever lied to Clara before?" Davis asked with a solemn tone.
After thinking for a few seconds, Claire answered.
"I don't think I ever lied to Clara."
"Me neither." Logan shrugged with an innocent face.
Davis turned his head only to see Clara being stunned. Her eyes were glowing indicating that her eyes were active.
"How is it Clara? Are they telling the truth?"
"My eyes seems to say that they are telling the truth..." With a stunned expression, she said.
Davis seemed to visibly relax.
Clara had a confused expression on her face. "... But… how? My eyes had also said to me way before that they have lied to me."
"Clara, believe me! We have never lied to you before." Claire said, stepping forward.
"A misunderstanding?" Davis muttered softly.
'Not a lie? If it is not a lie… could it possibly be deceit?' Davis though
"Clara, what did Mom say when your eye said that she lied to you?" Davis narrowed his eyes.
Clara got out from her bed and stood beside Davis.
"There are many instances of Mom and Dad lying to me." She said with some grievance in her heart.
"Many?" All three of them were visibly dumbfounded.
Clara gathered her courage and said with a determined face.
"One such instance is when mom said that she was going to the bathroom when I was around three years old. Mom only came to me after more than an hour. When I asked what was she doing there for so long? She said that she was enjoying the bath, and so that it had took her long to come out."

Seeing that the three of them with furrowed brows and a confused expression, she grit her teeth and continued.
"Another instance was when dad was playing with me, he rarely plays with me and even so he says that he is really busy. One day when dad was playing with me, I accidentally slept off, and when I woke up… what I saw was dad beating mom from behind her, he even hit her back. They then quickly separated when they saw me wake up. I saw it, don't you try to deny it dad! Mom's face was red, she must have been really in pain." Clara cried so hard.
"An…. And when I asked… dad about it… he said that he was just playing with her. Lies… all lies, Waaah... "
Clara cried and sniffed….
"And… when I ask.. asked mom about it, she also said that she was playing with him. Waa, brother! They're just lying to me all the time…"
"Anoth…."
"Alright stop! Clara, it's enough, I've already understood." Davis embraced and comforted her.
Clara kept crying, pouring her emotions over to her brother. After a few moments, she stopped crying.
Davis then let her out of his embrace. He then turned around and glared at them.
They both put their head down in shame.
"Alright Mom and Dad, care to explain yourselves to Clara?"
They both stayed silent, still hanging their heads low.
"Brother? Does this mean that they admit that they have lied to me?" Clara innocently asked.
"Sigh, Clara they didn't lie to you."
"But…"
..."They deceived you."
"Deceive? Me? But why?"
"Why don't you ask them yourselves, Clara, go ahead, brother is here, they will answer you." Davis smiled. Inside his heart, he was laughing his ass off. He didn't want to let them go easily after they had created this mess.

Clara nodded. She then turned around and asked.
"Mom! Why did you deceive me?"
There was no answer.
Davis could see their eyes darting around. He could faintly guess that they were having a conversation using Soul Transmission.
"Dad! Why did you deceive me?" Clara wasn't giving up. Tears had again formed on her eyes.
Clara and Logan looked at each other's face and sighed.
"Clara, it's too soon for you to know." Logan said.
Davis narrowed his eyes. Seems like they're not ready to admit it yet?
"Clara, when you said that father was beating mother, he was just using his peepee to....."
"Alright, alright, I'll tell, you shut up Davis." Logan shouted out of shame.
"Then tell fast, I and Clara don't have all day, we're busy with cultivation." Davis smirked.
Clara looked at Davis in admiration, astonished at the fact that he can even talk back to their dad at his age.
Logan visibly raged while Claire just stayed silent. When she heard 'his peepee', she froze.
"Fine." Logan calmed down.
"Clara, I and mom was just procreating at the time when we deceived you. In your age, you shouldn't know all these things."
Clara could tell that they were saying the truth but she couldn't understand why they would deceive her.
"Why? Isn't it just an act of sticking a male's reproductive organ into a female's one? What's so special about that you deceive me to hide it from me?"
"You!" Logan and Claire were totally shocked at what their daughter was saying.
Davis sighed. He understood what the hell was going on now.
"You two!" Davis shouted.
It immediately grabbed everyone's attention.
"Both of you are just forgetting that Clara is just a child capable of complex thoughts and emotions, not an adult capable of complex thoughts and emotions. Even if a child utters the word 'sex', that child will only think of gender while adults will surely think of procreation."
"What she said is purely from her knowledge without any in depth meaning to it."
He paused a moment before sneering. "Unlike you two with impure thoughts all day long."
Logan's veins popped up in his head while he clenched his fists while Claire put her head down in shame.
But they understood why they were wrong. They subconsciously treated Clara as a second Davis. Davis was an adult and Clara was a child in terms of mentality. They were wrong to treat them the same.
"Clara, father and mother meant no harm. It was all for your sake." Davis tried to convince her.
"Hmm, I believe in brother."
"Glad to hear that, so it's all ok now, right?" He asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I guess all the problems were with my eye. When will I be able to master it?" She muttered regretfully.
"Don't worry, believe in yourself and also don't let a person's lie affect your mentality. Always be warm to your family, got it?"
"Hmm!" Clara replied brightly

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)

The Eye in the Sky
People have always thought that the undead would come from hell - that they would rise from their graves to bring their torments upon the earth. They never thought that they would come from the heavens instead and rain upon the world like divine judgment. Ten years had passed since that day. Evan had thought that he had seen all there is to see. What remained of civilized society couldn't recover. Millions of zombies wandered in every city, and thousands more roam the countryside. Every day was a struggle to survive just as it had always been. He, as well as most of the survivors that remained on earth, had resigned themselves to a life of wandering until their deaths. Their last hope was news of an underground settlement being constructed to the far west, outside the eyes of the wandering and falling undead. But then they encounter a girl who had survived in the middle of a heavily-infested city. She claims that she knows of a way to end the apocalypse once and for all. What should he and his group do?
