Of all times, they had to show up now. What were they planning to do?Naturally, Grant wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by, as everything hinged on this moment.He continued to incite, "Your Majesty, there's no room for hesitation. If we wait for them to make the first move, we'll be in a very disadvantageous position. They're surely here to spy on us, so we should turn the tables and eliminate them!"The other four ghost kings quickly looked back at Roman, as all decisions hinged on his orders.The gears in Roman's head were spinning quickly. Given the current circumstances, he was certain they must already be aware of what Remus had been doing in the Upper Realms. Yet, instead of returning to the Upper Realms to help, why were they venturing further into Netherhold?They were initially sent by Francis to keep an eye on things, so did this mean they needed to monitor even more closely? Or perhaps, were they waiting for Francis to defeat Remus before they made their move?

The three Immortal Emperors exchanged glances. They originally thought about using the excuse of needing to stay here to keep an eye on Roman, which would explain why they couldn't return to the Upper Realms.But if they said that, Roman wouldn't believe them. After all, he had already started preparing for a rebellion, and their staying here was as good as a death sentence.After thinking it over, they could only be honest.Nulas said, "To be honest, returning now might not be wise. You may not know this, but that scoundrel's power far exceeds what we imagined. Even if we join forces, we might not be able to defeat him.""That's impossible!" Grant blurted out. Even though Remus was able to repel Roman with a single move in front of the demon lair back then, it was only possible because Candace had already worn him down.Additionally, Remus had just absorbed the Pathic Energies, which provided him with some enhancement. But in a life-or-death situation, Grant was confident he woul

Francis was doing it again, insisting they talk first.But Remus wasn't in a hurry. Before, when it had just been the two of them, he managed to provoke Francis into losing his composure.Now, with so many deities watching, he was curious to see what Francis would say. If he got agitated again and started to act frantically, it would be quite entertaining. What kind of image would he have left after that?"Spill!" Remus said.Francis maintained his dignity as he spoke calmly. "Let's say you succeed in your plan to destroy the Upper Realms and wipe out all the immortals. Have you considered what will happen to the Mortal Realm without the Upper Realms?"Remus mockingly said, "The Mortal Realm will always remain as it is. Nothing will change about it.""Not at all!" Francis slowly spoke. "It's said that natural principles should be preserved while human desires should be restrained. The existence of the Upper Realms suppresses the Mortal Realm, specifically to curb the evil in the

The new Upper Realms. These words clearly struck a chord with Remus, as they went beyond the narrow concept of the Upper Realms, encompassing a much broader meaning.This went against the initial intention of empathizing with the world and caring for Darsia's 1.4 billion citizens.However, if they didn't provide supplies to these people, wouldn't it mean the soldiers who were charging into the southern countries were sacrificing their lives for nothing? None of the options seemed right!Francis continued, "Have you ever considered that if the Three Realms are not maintained as they are and only the Mortal Realm is left, then one day, when the common people are oppressed by the new Upper Realms, they won't even have a way to seek help?"If you've already destroyed the current Upper Realms, to them, whoever is left would be the Upper Realms. Remus, what you're about to do seems harmless and even reasonable. But who in the Three Realms can withstand the test of time?"Thousands of ye

Remus' voice kept getting louder and louder, and his movements also grew increasingly pronounced. His facial expression began to contort, making him appear somewhat menacing."Uh... What's going on with him?""Why is this happening?""He looks like he's losing his mind!"All the immortals looked at Remus with questions, finding it unbelievable. Just a moment ago, everything was fine, so how did he suddenly end up like this? They whispered to each other and exchanged puzzled glances.Only Francis remained expressionless, but inside, he felt a hint of amusement. The reason for not taking immediate action and instead spending so much time talking was precisely for this—shattering Remus' Heart of Alchemy!If anyone's Heart of Alchemy was broken, they may not only lose their ability to fight, but their very survival could be at risk. In severe cases, their energy could become chaotic, causing it to rampage within their body, potentially leading to their demise.Originally, his intent
