The troublemakers were all shivering with fear.They were confident before seeing Remus. But now, they inevitably felt guilty. However, retreat was no longer an option as the situation had escalated to such a point that they had no choice but to stand their ground."Master Calsberg, you promised us replenishing pills, and you should give them to us!""We're here to receive what we deserve!""After all, you said we could come anytime."Remus' expression gradually darkened upon hearing their responses. During their time in the Violet Sanctum, they had steadfastly supported him, but now they had aligned themselves with Oden to pressure him.He felt deeply hurt. Gazing at them, he inquired, "If Oden has threatened you in any way, you can speak up now. I won't hold your past actions against you, and not only that, I will seek justice on your behalf! But if you came here voluntarily and coerced my wife into apologizing, then our relationship ends here!"He was someone who cherished hi
Oden suddenly spoke up, "Master Calsberg, what do you mean by 'any replenishing pill will do'? You promised them top-grade replenishing pills! Are you now attempting to retract that promise and deceive us with subpar pills?"Those individuals were growing increasingly frustrated."Exactly, we demand top-grade pills, nothing less!""Your word must be honored, or else, Master Calsberg, your reputation will be tarnished!""We insist on receiving top-grade replenishing pills!"Everyone in the square shared their surprise as they looked at Remus. He had committed to providing top-grade pills, and the idea of offering inferior ones appeared highly inappropriate.Remus assured them in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my promise. I mentioned top-grade pills, and they will indeed be top-grade pills! Just wait for me to prepare it!"Upon hearing his assurance, those individuals refrained from further comments and could only wait patiently."There's another matter!" Oden spo
The crowd burst into discussions, with everyone echoing Oden's assumption that a large organization like Tanjen must surely have a stockpile of pills.After all, it seemed implausible for an organization of such scale to not have any reserves. However, when they saw Remus actually starting to refine pills to fulfill his promise, they knew the outcome had already been determined. It was simply impossible to refine nearly 1000 pills in one day.Everyone was in turmoil because they knew that if things continued this way, Tanjen would become a mere tool for these individuals' pill refining, with no opportunity for others to request pills."Remus, I'm sorry!" Glinda spoke with difficulty, never having imagined that a single statement would cause such trouble. The alchemists and disciples were even more panicked, resembling cats on hot bricks, feeling utterly helpless as they couldn't refine top-grade pills themselves and were unable to offer any assistance.Meanwhile, Oden watched w
All these people were collectively demanding hundreds of replenishing pills from Tanjen.Oden immediately scoffed, "They're not the ones pushing Tanjen to a dead end, but Master Calsberg himself, for the sake of a woman. No one else is to blame! Enough, don't waste time. Master Calsberg, please hand over the pills!"Hearing this, Glinda tensed up completely, thinking it was all her fault.Remus gently held her hand and said with a reassuring smile, "Don't blame yourself. You belong to me, so there's no need to worry. Just say what you have to, and I will make it happen."He cast a cold glance at the faces of those present and continued, "I thought you would stand by my side till the end. Yet, it appears that self-interest prevails. If you desire the pills, then I will give them to you!"As he spoke, his hand suddenly lifted, causing the pills to float out of the furnace one after another, suspended in mid-air.In the blink of an eye, hundreds of pills were floating in the air, li
Oden had come to the Tanjen Organization seeking revenge. However, as the Master of Crimson Valley, directly seeking vengeance might provoke public outrage.Now, with Remus pushed into a corner, Oden felt he could act as he pleased. He turned and instructed, "You, go and test the pill. Give Master Calsberg one last chance!"One of the individuals nodded and spoke sternly, "Master Calsberg, let's be clear. If this pill's effectiveness falls short, I won't hesitate to take ruthless measures!"After finishing his statement, he picked up a pill and prepared to consume it. At that moment, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats as they watched with full attention.Glinda and the people of Tanjen were plunged into even deeper despair. If the pill didn't produce the desired results, the consequences were beyond imagination."Stop!" a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.The voice boomed like a thunderclap, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.The speaker wa
Rowan said, "If it weren't for my intervention, you would have had to pay a price for your arrogance today. From now on, I don't want to hear you say anything, just keep your mouth shut!"He was here today to take Remus in as a disciple on behalf of the Deputy Master of Herbal Pavilion.Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.Did this imply that Remus would become a part of the Herbal Pavilion, potentially engaging with the genuine geniuses of the sacred lands — the true chosen ones of Darsia, the elite cultivators?Henry and the people of Tanjen were filled with excitement. This not only resolved their current predicament but also established a valuable connection between Tanjen and the prestigious Herbal Pavilion, presenting significant opportunities for the future.The faces of Oden and the others turned pale, realizing that their plan had been completely ruined. They wouldn't dare to seek revenge, let alone provoke Remus, knowing that any action against him would surely invite
As seconds passed, anxiety grew among the members of the Tanjen Organization.Typically, when someone takes a pill, there should be some noticeable effects almost right away. However, in this case, they couldn't understand why there were absolutely no effects at all.The others continued to watch with anticipation. While they had their doubts about Remus' claims, they couldn't ignore the fact that he was a true genius in the field of alchemy. So, they clung to a glimmer of hope."How do you feel?""Can you feel an increase in spirit energy?"The crowd couldn't resist their curiosity and began to ask.The man who took the pill shook his head vigorously and said, "Nothing, absolutely nothing. A proper pill should dissolve instantly, but this replenishing pill is breaking down gradually. It still hasn't been fully digested yet!"A collective gasp of shock swept through the crowd. Their last shreds of hope in Remus were shattered. They realized they shouldn't have put any faith in h
Rowan was gripped by panic. The scene unfolding before him shattered the boundaries of his understanding, overturning his lifetime research on alchemy.He asked in a frantic tone, "How is this even possible? What method did you use? How can a first-grade pill possibly surpass a top-grade one? How?"He felt an urgent need to understand the method, given how profoundly shocking the situation was.Oden and the people behind him also looked over, all in a state of panic. They had hoped that Remus would fail to provide the pill, forcing him to refine pills for them for the rest of his life as a means of revenge against the Tanjen Organization.Remus spoke calmly, "If you're wondering why these pills have such extraordinary effects, the answer is rather straightforward. It's because I'm the one who refined them!"Rowan trembled and spoke urgently, "Because it was refined by you? What does that mean? Explain it more clearly!"Remus stated with an impassive expression, "You can interpret
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
