"Ana, how dare you barge into the Schneider Residence without permission, apologize to Mr. Schneider immediately, and then leave!" Garth said sternly.Ana felt as if she was struck by a heavy blow, turning incredulously to look at Garth. She couldn't grasp why Grandpa was reluctant when a mere command would have verified everything."The clan master is wise!" Scarlett said with a smug smile.Rufus looked at Ana with a dark and menacing expression.Seeing Ana's expression, Garth furrowed his brow and said, "Did you not hear what I said? Quickly apologize to Mr. Schneider and then leave, right away! Otherwise, don't blame me for resorting to family discipline!"Upon hearing these words, everyone chimed in to advise."Ms. Walter, please apologize!""It must just be a giant chicken inside, hurry and apologize!""Ms. Walter, don't suffer needlessly!"At that moment, Eva hurried over, her anger evident. "Grandpa, why is that? We just need to open it to know! We can't simply blame An
At Remus' words, all the people of the Island of the Monarch lifted their heads.Their gazes held an immense disbelief as they beheld Remus standing in the air."Remus Cosby!" A voice broke the silence in the square."Remus Cosby!" Rufus and Scarlett exclaimed in astonishment."Remus Cosby!" Garth froze in place."Remus!" Ana and Eva were left utterly speechless and astonished.Everyone believed he was dead, for he had indeed been taken away by Phillip, who led a team of four Supreme Martial Imperials from the Rose family, 40 Martial Imperials, and 128 Supreme Martial Sovereigns.His sudden appearance at this moment left everyone in disbelief.Remus, devoid of expression, glanced downward and questioned coldly, "Are you all astonished by my return? Is it a surprise? Perhaps wondering, 'How did I come back?'"Once again, everyone felt a buzz in their head as they wondered, "He was supposed to be executed by the Rose family, why is he here?"Without waiting for others to speak,
Remus truly felt shattered and disappointed, experiencing a depth of sorrow like never before.Since his youth, he trained on the mountain with Master Tyson, devoid of his parents and relatives. His parents bore an unending torment solely for his well-being, while his grandfather made the ultimate sacrifice by detonating himself to save him.His grandpa's proud declaration heralded the Dragon Protector Clan as an enduring martial lineage spanning millennia, devoted to embodying the essence of humanity, guiding the people, and preserving ancestral traditions. In his eyes, the unity of the four families was unbreakable, akin to being one.Remus once believed that the Dragon Protector Clan was his family, but he never imagined that he would not be accepted by them.His thunderous demand reverberated, seemingly stirring a response from the heavens. Relentless dark clouds continued to gather, thunder echoing within them as if mirroring his mighty roar, amplifying the tension in the air.
The sky crackled with lightning. Thunder rolled through the air like the echoes of ancient giants, causing a frenzy that mirrored the confusion within the people's souls.Remus boldly called Garth an "asshole"!As the Dragon Protector Clan's leader, Garth commanded unmatched global influence, solidly securing a spot among the top two most influential people in the world.Garth jolted back to reality, a surge of killing intent emanating from him uncontrollably. Though he couldn't reveal or admit it as admitting it would scatter the unity in the hearts of the people, making them difficult to lead.But as the clan master of the Dragon Protector Clan, how could he tolerate the repeated provocations?His voice thundered, "Bring him down!""Roger that!" The guards soared into the sky.The ordinary guards were mere Martial Imperials, with the lead held by the Supreme Martial Imperial.Moreover, an ominous energy arose from the darkness around.Garth's fury erupted, "Remus dares to in
"I did nothing wrong!" Remus stated each word deliberately, "The ones at fault are you, all of you, not me! Why should I apologize? You assholes don't deserve my respect!"As his words fell, the joy sparkling in the crowd's eyes swiftly shifted into shock and disbelief.The perplexity in the eyes of the Schneiders immediately transformed into excitement."What did you say?" Garth found it incredulous. He had given Remus a chance, yet he didn't appreciate it and dared to insult him again."I said, you don't deserve my respect!"Remus' voice thundered with resolve as he declared, "Neither you nor the Dragon Protector Clan are worthy! As the Master of the Cosby family, I solemnly swear that in this life, I shall never align with the Dragon Protector Clan! From this day forward, the Cosby family severs all ties with the Dragon Protector Clan!"As he finished saying this, his eyes reddened, not from reluctance, but out of a profound sense of remorse toward his grandpa.He desperatel
Remus' forewarning about the Dragon Protector Clan's looming extinction sent a shiver through the crowd, plunging it into a tense silence.Across the vast expanse of the world, there wasn't anyone capable of pulling it off, not even the reigning Rose family held such power.Who did Remus think he was?Remus coldly remarked, "Thus far, I've eliminated one successor of the Rose family, killed a singular butler, bested five Supreme Martial Imperials, annihilated 50 Martial Imperials, and obliterated an astounding count of 128 Supreme Martial Sovereigns!"The Rose family's hatred for me knows no bounds. They desire to consign me to 30,000 years of abyss torment. But even that won't abate their resentment toward me! If the Dragon Protector Clan were to kill me, where would the Rose family direct their rage? Who would bear the brunt of their revenge?"It would be the Dragon Protector Clan! If the Rose family retaliates fiercely, even if your Clan is able to endure it, the losses would b
Scarlett sneered. "That wild chicken is dead. It was flying recklessly over the sea and met its demise in the jaws of fish. Who knows, it's probably turned into a clump of dung by now, hehe!"If she hadn't just said that it wasn't Ruby in the fire pit, she would have been eager to tell him that Ruby had been eaten, given that Remus couldn't do much about it."You're asking for death!" Remus' energy suddenly burst out.He broke through twice the speed of sound, carrying an overwhelming killing intent as he charged toward Scarlett.A tremor ran through Scarlett's body, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. She hadn't anticipated him daring to act on the Island of the Monarch.The crowd was also startled as they too had never imagined he would make a move.Before anyone could react, Remus' fist had already slammed into Scarlett.His fist astonishingly blasted through her body, its impact breaking through her back. Both figures continued moving across the field before crashing into t
The crowd was shocked as they witnessed Remus charging toward Rufus.They couldn't believe that Remus would dare to attack Rufus, and they all assumed he had lost his sanity.Scarlett's status might have been significant, but she was only a junior in both the Schneider family and the Dragon Protector Clan.However, Rufus' status was clearly different. He was the Deputy Master of the Schneider family, representing the Schneiders in the Dragon Protector Clan, and could be considered the second most important figure within the Schneiders.Seeing Remus charge at him, Rufus felt sheer terror course through him. Their clash at the Monarch Palace had made him realize his absolute incapacity to defend against Remus. Without anyone intervening, his death was inevitable."Master, save me," he pleaded, channeling all his energy to defend himself.Before anyone could speak, Remus' fist collided with his defense, unleashing a burst of energy that sent the juniors tumbling away.Rufus was hit
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
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
