Remus followed Linnea to a door at the side of the square. Once they entered through it, a whole hidden realm was revealed within.Featuring artificial mountains and running water, buildings amid blossoming flower clusters, and willow trees swaying in the breeze, it has everything one could imagine. Yet, its state of extreme disrepair was evident, worn out by the passage of time and neglect.There were at least 100 mansions here, with only a single one bathed in light, while the others remained shrouded in absolute darkness."That mansion with the light used to be Mr. Cosby's, but now it's yours!" Linnea spoke up.Remus observed it was a mansion positioned squarely across from the main entrance. Though the light within was dim, it casted a glow that enlivened the courtyard, infusing it with a sense of liveliness.He nodded and replied, "Alright, thank you.""You're welcome. I'm merely carrying out my duties. Even though I don't particularly like you, this world often shows lenien
Shawn felt a chill run down his spine, keenly aware that he was no match for Remus.Remus took two steps forward and added, "There's one more thing I must tell you. I practice killing intent. Once I start, I don't discern between victory and defeat, I only care about life and death!"Shawn blurted out and quickly raised his hand, waving it dismissively, "No! I won't accept your challenge anymore. Since you didn't accept my challenge just now, our agreement doesn't count."Linnea burst into laughter at his appearance, doubling over in amusement, teasing, "You really should take a good look in the mirror, then you'll understand why Ms. Walter has only seen you as a little brother all these years, not a suitor. Hurry up and leave before it's too late!"He remained composed, swiftly clasping his hands together in a respectful gesture, "I have other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now, farewell!"Remus halted him, saying, "Hold on! You can't just challenge me and then decide n
Rufus stood at the center of the Monarch Palace, facing a stern-looking Garth ahead.He was extremely agitated as he spoke, "First, Remus killed Otis, then he killed Bason along with 12 Martial Imperials. This matter is truly severe! "Although the Rose family hasn't made any moves yet, how could they simply sit by? We absolutely cannot allow Remus to join the Dragon Protector Clan. We can't let the Dragon Protector Clan be implicated because of him!"His voice echoed throughout the entire Monarch Palace.He vehemently opposed Remus joining because once he entered, decisions would have to involve the opinion of four families instead of the current three. It was better if less people held power and of course, it was better if fewer individuals were capable of exploiting influence."Rufus Schneider!" Philbert shouted angrily.He had been seated at the side the whole time, but upon hearing the continued opposition against Remus, he became so furious that he stood up and roared, "Do
Rufus spoke with an icy tone, "The Dragon Protector undeniably carries the essence of the Cosbys and therefore should be passed down to them. But it's not solely for Remus Cosby, but the entire lineage of the Cosby! Presently, there are two uncertainties. "Firstly, are there other members within the Cosbys? Secondly, is Remus truly part of the main lineage of the Cosbys? With these uncertainties lingering, how can we simply allow direct inheritance? Sir, such a significant matter cannot be handled with such trivialness!"Philbert clenched his fists in frustration, his anger palpable. Remus also turned his gaze in the same direction, recalling Ana's earlier warning about Rufus' unfriendly disposition during their journey here.Garth spoke up, "The reason the Dragon Protector lineage has endured for millennia is because of our mutual trust, closeness, and frankness. If there are issues, they need to be resolved! Remus Cosby, can you address these two points?"Remus spoke confidently
No one believed that Remus ascended from the Deity Realm to Martial Imperial in just 60 hours.Rafael spent 12 years achieving Martial Imperial, whereas Remus miraculously accomplished it in just three days. Considering his extraordinary abilities, the difference was still staggering.Garth's gaze turned solemn once more as he asked, "Can you repeat, how long did it take from the Deity Realm to the Martial Imperial?"Rufus burst into laughter, pointing at Remus. "Look at this guy, spewing nonsense just to join the Dragon Protector Clan. Achieving Martial Imperial in 60 hours? How's that possible? "Look through the Dragon Protector Clan's history. The most genius was Rafael Cosby, a Martial Emperor at 15! Now, our brightest star is Marlon Schneider from the Schniders, crowned Martial Emperor at 18, three years back! "Not just in the Dragon Protector Clan, even in the Rose family, there's no one worldwide who could attain Martial Imperial in 60 hours. Remus Cosby, are you fabricat
Remus swiftly delivered a slap across his face before Rufus could finish his sentence.Rufus staggered to the side, nearly losing his balance and taking two steps back.With the fall of that slap, the entire Monarch Palace turned deathly silent. Garth, Philbert, and Ana looked on in disbelief, unable to believe that Remus had slapped Rufus.Rufus looked around in bewilderment, then suddenly roared furiously, "You bastard, how dare you—"Remus delivered another slap, speaking coldly, "I've noticed your displeasure with me since I arrived. If you dare spew nonsense again, I'll slap you until you can't speak!"Rufus was on the verge of exploding in anger, wanting to defend himself but utterly incapable of doing so.He was the Deputy Master of The Schneiders, representing the Schneiders within The Dragon Protector Clan. And Remus wasn't even a member of The Dragon Protector Clan yet. How dared he slap someone as esteemed as Rufus?Rufus yelled, "Guards, take him down and throw him i
Despite Remus' unbelievable claims, the truth was that they had already acknowledged him as the Cosbys in their hearts.Ana's thorough investigation solidified his ties to the Cosby family and his mastery of the Imperial Form, validating his place within the revered Main Lineage as Rafael's son. Their tolerance of Rufus' doubts was rooted in their perception that Remus was too young to be considered an equal.Their disdain for Remus stemmed solely from his age. However, Remus' unwavering stance has forced a shift in everyone's perception of him."I-I will ..." Rufus finally rose from the ground, a relentless thought echoing in his mind, "What gives him the right to lay a hand on me?"Remus broke into an abrupt burst of speed, arriving before Rufus in a split second. Seizing him by the neck with one hand, he hoisted him forcefully against the wall. His tone was devoid of emotion as he said, "If you dare to speak another word from now on, I'll surely kill you!'"Rufus was initiall
Garth noticed there was no response from everyone and continued, "If there are no other matters, you may all leave and get ready!""I have something to ask!" Remus interrupted and swiftly presented the marriage contract. "Master Walter, this is the marriage contract my master made between me and the Walters. Please take a look. It doesn't specify whether my fiancée is Ana or Eva, so I can't be certain!"His other purpose in coming here was to find his fiancée.At his statement, a collective moment of stunned silence overtook the entire palace.Ana was particularly bewildered, unsure of what he was saying.Garth, having glanced at the marriage contract and finding his name inscribed upon it, was taken aback, feeling a sense of disbelief. Suddenly, a vivid recollection of the anonymous voyage he took years ago rushed into his mind.At that time, he just encountered an old man, they were engaged in a fishing competition, and they betted on a betrothal. Garth didn't think much of it
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
