Grimoire of Fate

The **Grimoire of Fate**, also called the ***Death Book***, ***Death Note***, among other things, is the Supreme Treasure in Davis Loret's possession. In recent times, it has produced an artifact spirit called Fallen Heaven. It is one of the Primeval Law Treasures.

## About

The Grimoire of Fate is a powerful treasure with the ability to manipulate karma, life, death, and souls. The Grimoire of Fate is the reason why Long Tian was able to escape being a slave for Mo Wuming and how he managed to reincarnate as Davis Loret in the Second Layer, the Grand Sea Continent. The Grimoire of Fate is known as the "Supreme Treasure" by those who know enough of it due to its powerful abilities.

However, The Grimoire of Fate has been sealed for a long time, reducing its true powers to be nothing but a shadow of the past. Furthermore, its memories are incomplete due to it being sealed. It is the treasure that the master of the world brought Myria in to acquire.

Due to The Grimoire of Fate having fused with Davis' soul, every time he makes a major breakthrough in Soul Forging Cultivation, The Grimoire of Fate regains part of its true power.

Across time, The Grimoire of Fate has been known by names: ***Book of Yin***, ***Book of Despair***, ***Holy Scripture of Death***, ***Book of Gluttony***, and most recently, the ***Death Note**/**Book***.

Using the Primeval Law Treasures without reaching certain heights in cultivation will cause karmic burden to fall on its user. However, the Grimoire of Fate is different. A simple action of using it will amount to a lot of unknown changes that go unnoticed by the heavens, causing it to be angered. The more the changes, the more the chances that the Grimoire of fate could be sent out of the universe in the blink of an eye if it's caught.

It is because it fused in the Primeval Universe Ruins that it is no longer part of the Three-Layered Universe and considered an Outlandish Cursed Treasure.

## Appearance

The Grimoire of Fate originally resembled a book, or a grimoire. That was its physical shape. However, after its physical form was destroyed during Tian Long's transmigration, its juvenile spirit fused with his soul. Thereafter, the Grimoire of Fate appeared to be a gaseous death note in his soul sea. After Davis awoke once more from his ordeal in the events of Tiera and Dian's marriage, the Grimoire of Fate now looked like a scroll.

## History

The Grimoire of Fate is thought to be one of the ten Primeval Law Treasures. But the truth is different. At one point in time, two out of the ten Primeval Law Treasures went missing, and in their place, the Grimoire of Fate appeared in the Primeval Universe Ruins.

It was eventually found by the First Haven World Master and through her assistance, she sped up the creation of the artifact spirit, Fallen Heaven, in hopes of awakening its true power. After speeding up the artifact spirit's creation, the World Master understood the Grimoire of Fate was more like a broken treasure that wasn't able to exude its true prowess that should be overwhelming. So while Fallen Heaven was just a consciousness, she left it to be used by others hoping that they would bring our its true potential.

Due to the World Master's wishes, the Grimoire of Fate, and therefore Fallen Heaven, went across my hands. Fallen Heaven has been possessed by immortals and cultivators alike, but due to its powers that cannot be properly control, the power to change fate eventually comes back to bite Fallen Heaven's hosts in the back.

The result was that its owners became utterly ruined, causing the World Master to seal it for good. However, the artifact spirit did not want to remains sealed and came up with a method to sneak out of the Nurturing Tri-Temporal Grand Formation that was gradually running out of energy, forming a karmic connection with a book in a nearby celestial rock, Earth, that was supposed to keep it locked in a delicate balance with mortals. Using this karmic connection, the artifact spirit created weak deathly beings, the Shinigami, who were only as strong as Third Stage Cultivators, and began to reap souls in order to strengthen itself before finally landing in Davis Loret's hands.

The two used each other to fulfill their own goals, and the rest is history. Due to the events of Tian Long's reincarnation, the Grimoire of Fate and Davis became fused, if one died, the other would probably follow.

## Abilities

### **Presence Concealment**

It is Fallen Heaven's intrinsic property. It naturally hides its presence from the heavens, as well as that of its host naturally. Its host's karmic sin and virtue are passively hidden, and Fallen Heaven tends to hide away before a Heavenly Tribulation to prevent it from being caught by the heavens. Fallen Heaven is so good at concealing itself that is basically nigh-impossible to detect it in Davis' soul sea.

### **Death God Eyes**

In exchange for half of the user's lifespan, the Grimoire of Fate can grant its user the ability to see the Lifespan and True Name of its targets. When used, the irises turn red. Although the targets can hide their true name with their cultivation, if the user focuses long enough, they will eventually be able to see through the veil and learn the true name of the target.

#### **Death God Sense**

The evolution of Death God Eyes. Instead of being restricted to line of sight, anyone within the range of soul sense can be targeted. It works like Death God Eyes, allowing the user to see true name and lifespan. Naturally, if the target protects their soul, then the user has to focus on them for a longer time to see through it.

### **Soul Imprint Extermination**

Fallen Heaven's infallible ability to exterminate the target's soul imprint, instantly ending their life. While originally requiring the user, Davis, to know the target's true name, as he grew more powerful and Fallen Heaven evolved due to their soul fusion, its restrictions lessened. Now, so long as Davis' target is in his line of sight or his soul sense is focused on them, he can use this ability. Even if the target is stronger, by consuming Davis' soul essence, Fallen Heaven can empower this ability to kill anyone instantly; so long as enough soul essence is devoured.

#### **Soul Imprint Domination**

Alternatively, Soul Imprint Domination allows Fallen Heaven to directly target the Soul Imprint of the target. However, instead of instantly ending their lives, it instead dominates it, eroding the target's will and making them slaves absolutely loyal to the target. Most are usually mindless, but there was an occasion were the target kept its will. Once enslaved, they have to absolutely follow Davis' will. However, in the end, as it uses Fallen Heaven's power, they are destined to die eventually.

It is unclear if this is the work of death and karma laws or something else entirely.

### **Misdirection**

It is a power unlocked, most likely karma-related, that messes with the target's perception and senses, tricking them into subconsciously focusing on something else. It is so subtle that the target themselves will not notice, only feel strange as to why they are doing it.

### **Soul Domination**

Fallen Heaven has displayed a great authority over souls, specially those lacking fleshy bodies. It has such a great deal of authority that it can choose who reincarnates and who doesn't. It is capable of not only absorbing the physical souls of the target, but also their spiritual souls and keep them within the user's soul sea for a prolonged period of time. However, if the user loses consciousness, Fallen Heaven would be unable to contain the souls of those who are too powerful since the Heaven's call would eventually drag them away.

**Devouring** allows Fallen Heaven to devour the souls of its victims to increase its user's Soul Forging Cultivation or its own power. Can also be used to recover Soul Force. **Imprisonment** allows Fallen Heaven to imprison the souls of its victims within its user's soul sea for an extended period of time. But if the host were to lose its consciousness for a very long time, the souls will be released. **Erasure** allows Fallen Heaven to delete the soul imprint of its target or even spirits.

### **Karma Laws**

On multiple occasions, Fallen Heaven has shown its powers over karma and karma laws. It can see the target's favorability toward the user in a karmic thread displaying different colors. Each color represents different emotions the target holds toward the user. Red means love, either sexual or romantical. Pink means familiar love. Blue means trust or friendship. Yellow means worry or unhappiness. Black/Gray represents negative emotions like hate, anger, etc.

Alternatively, it is possible for the user to plunder Karmic Sin or Virtue through **Karmicseizer**, or bestow Karmic Sin or Virtue via **Karmicblight** and **Karmicgrace** respectively. However, to bestow karmic sin and virtue, it is necessary for the user to have enough in store to give away.

### **Death Laws**

Fallen Heaven's Death Laws have been shown time and time again to be extremely powerful. Anyone who sees it feels fear and it has been seen to be extremely pure. Originally, it was through to be something related to darkness laws. Fallen Heaven's Death Laws, besides being extremely deadly, are also highly focused on "concealment", and they can be used to conceal its user, soul force, or something else. The purity and power of Fallen Heaven's Death Laws cause an intrinsic fear in all life forms who witness it. It can also evoke evolutions and mutations in darkness-attributed magical beasts by feeding it and exposing it to death energy for a prolonged period of time, as in Nadia's case.

When use on others, in tends to cause discomfort such as nightmares. Furthermore, it has a natural ability to erode and destroy things such as poison and if infused into the body, can basically dull one's emotional quotient, making them less responsive and emotional and also making them highly resistant to Charm Laws, as in Davis' case when he fought against Hysteria Tempest, the Poison Lord Mistress.

### **Life Laws**

Fallen Heaven's Life Laws are not only extremely pure but also powerful. They have been shown time and time again displaying ground-breaking feats under the hands of Davis. They are pure and powerful enough to regenerate limbs and cause pure comfort. They ease the mind, body, and emotions of the target. There is nothing they cannot regenerate so long as the user has enough soul force to power the Life Laws and the target's cultivation isn't absurdly different. It can restore things to the state before their destruction, meaning a cripple can regain their cultivation quickly since their dantian is merely restored to what it used to be, requiring only the cripple to refill it with heaven and earth energy, as seen with Edgar Alstreim.

It can hasten the growth of resources and materials, evoke evolution and mutations in light-attributed Magical Beast by exposing them and feeding them with life energy for a long time, as seen with Everlight, or by using Life Laws to nourish blood essence, therefore increasing its rank to King or Emperor-Tier, as seen with Mira.

It can restore the state of the target and user to great degrees. It can regenerate blood and soul essence up to 97% percent and improve the quality of resources by nourishing it.

### **Reincarnation Laws**

By combining Death and Life laws, one can use Reincarnation Laws. The extent of this law has yet to be fully seen. However, it has been shown to be able to resurrect its target, as with Fire Phoenix Immortal and Ice Phoenix Immortal, so long as the user has collected both the spiritual and physical souls making up the soul of the target. Reincarnation Laws can even re-create the body of the resurrected target at its prime.

### **Fate Manipulation**

  ― Myria to Davis about Fallen Heaven,Chapter 2009: Come Out

The **Grimoire of Fate** is known as such due to being able to manipulate **Fate**. However, it isn't arbitrary. The changes in fate happen around the user, to them, or those related to them completely randomly. The user nor the treasure can control the changes. The manipulation of fate is seemingly passive, giving the user an illusion of indomitability but in the end, the twists in fate always result in the owner of the Grimoire of Fate dying a cruel, painful death. The changes always have their consequences, and one choice can result in a bad outcome.

It is for this reason that Myria warned Davis of the Grimoire of Fate's dangers. No one was in control. No one could change fate at will. Everything happened due to the treasure at its behest, but it wasn't like one could control the changes, only hope to adapt.

### **Other**

Fallen Heaven can devour the host's soul essence to boosts its capabilities. If enough is devoured, the target can be killed even if there is a high difference in cultivation.
