Lance firmly believed that Remus would use his impressive strength to coerce him into visiting the Tanjen Organization personally.Given the formidable abilities Remus had demonstrated, it seemed certain that he would become a prominent figure within the organization, proudly flaunting his status.However, the disciple was hesitant to reply, as it was too humiliating."Speak up!" Egbert burst out impatiently. "What exactly did Remus say? Tell us word by word!"The Deputy Master couldn't help but snort in disdain. "That arrogant fool, thinking he's something special just because he accomplished a small feat. He's probably parading around, flaunting his status as we speak!""He hasn't said a word!" The disciple finally broke his silence.He added cautiously, "In fact, according to the latest reports, Remus has fled and left the Tanjen Organization ..."Upon hearing this response, all three were once again taken aback.Egbert couldn't resist asking, "Are you sure? He fled?""Ho
After leaving the Tanjen Organization, Remus and Gemma journeyed through the mountains and jungles, primarily because the wilderness offered a richer and more pristine source of spirit energy, which Remus required for replenishment.As night fell, Remus sat in deep meditation with his eyes closed, fully aware of the impending hazardous journey to the Herbal Pavilion. He aimed to absorb as much spirit energy as possible in the short time he had.Gemma had kindled a campfire and sat opposite Remus, supporting her chin with her hands and gazing at him with wide eyes. Her face took on an unusual beauty, accentuated by the gentle play of light from the flickering flames."You've been staring at me the whole day! Turn your face away!" Remus said indifferently.Gemma's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's so typical of you, knowing I'm watching you without even needing to open your eyes. But I won't stop! I enjoy looking at you just like this!"A wry smile tugged at Remus' lips as he r
Startled by Gemma's sudden and forthright actions, Remus was on the verge of pushing her away, ready to reveal his true identity to her.However, a sudden thought crossed his mind, and he opted to lie down and speak in a composed manner, "Fine, you can become my companion, but before that, you must answer a few questions for me."Gemma's heart raced with excitement, never expecting he would agree so readily.She believed that once she answered his questions, she would have the chance to become Mrs. Calsberg and hold an esteemed position in True Life.She bit her lip and confessed, "I've made up my mind to give myself to you wholeheartedly, so I won't keep anything from you. You can ask me anything you want to know."Remus felt uncomfortable with her sitting on him but understood that it was not the right moment to push her away. He inquired, "Did you genuinely have a relationship with Remus Cosby, giving your all to him, only to find that he betrayed you?"Gemma knew it was a lie
Detecting the profound energy emanating from the approaching voices, Remus discerned that they were cultivators with significant levels of cultivation.He contemplated the idea of changing their route. Heading to the Herbal Pavilion was a secret mission, and being spotted by others could potentially lead to complications.While he was deep in thought, a sudden shout echoed through the woods, "There's a pervert here!"A young man with a dignified appearance emerged from the woods, wielding a longsword. He exclaimed angrily, "How dare you kidnap an innocent woman in the wilderness! I'll incapacitate you tonight!"Without hesitation, the young man lunged at Remus with his sword.Remus was startled by the formidable energy emanating from the sword, which seemed to rival that of a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. He swiftly moved to evade the attack and expended the meager amount of spirit energy he had recently replenished. Witnessing Remus' unexpected evasion, the young man st
Remus frowned slightly upon hearing the young man's question. His earlier smile was merely to avoid complications and further entanglements. To his surprise, the young man didn't leave and even started asking questions.Gemma was boiling with anger as she said, "He's not just any alchemist. Open your eyes wide and see who stands before you—""Indeed, I am an alchemist!" Remus quickly interrupted, fearing Gemma might reveal his true identity.He already suspected them to be from the sacred lands and was concerned about the potential consequences if his true identity were revealed. Moreover, with his spirit energy depleted, his Martial Imperial prowess might not be sufficient to overpower them."Fantastic!" The young man's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Meeting here must be fate. My name is Marsh Romero, and this is my junior, Elsie Greene. We apologize for the earlier misunderstanding. May I ask for your esteemed name?"Gemma scoffed upon hearing these names, as they seemed comple
Gemma felt a sudden tension as Remus' gaze bore down on her, though she had misinterpreted his intentions.She quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean to interfere with your decisions. I'll listen to whatever you say, please don't be angry. From now on, you can call yourself Remus Holland, Remus Gordan, or anything you want. I like you for who you are, not your name. Please don't be angry—"Remus interrupted her, saying, "What I meant is, I am Remus Cosby!"Gemma became even more panicked, tears welling up in her eyes as she pleaded, "Please don't be angry. I never meant to intrude. It's just that ... I have a strong hatred of that name, and it was an instinctive response. It has nothing to do with you. "Even if you were Remus Cosby, my loyalty would remain unwavering!"Remus was on the brink of exploding, and he replied solemnly, "Alright then—""Remus!" a voice echoed from behind.Marsh and Elsie caught up with them, their expressions carrying a hint of guilt. Marsh spoke up,
Remus halted abruptly at the mention of "Herbal Pavilion"."Herbal Pavilion?" Gemma exclaimed in astonishment. She asked incredulously, "How do you have pills from the Herbal Pavilion? Herbal Pavilion is known for supplying pills exclusively to the sacred lands. Could it be that you are—"Marsh cut in swiftly, "There's been a misunderstanding. These pills were a lucky find, meant for emergencies. It's just that fate has brought Remus and me together, prompting this exchange."After saying that, he covertly gave Elsie a look, indicating to not reveal their connection to the Herbal Pavilion.If they were to discover that they originated from the sacred grounds while searching for Oblivion Grass, and then link it to the upcoming assessment within five days, it could potentially lead to considerable disruptions.Elsie coldly glanced at Marsh as she had intentionally mentioned the Herbal Pavilion.She murmured to herself, "Can an independent alchemist truly dare to be so temperament
"Hurry, spit them out, or you'll burst!" Marsh's voice trembled with urgency. Even at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage, he dared not consume more than one Energy Replenishing Pill.Elsie's heart clenched in frustration as she watched such rare pills being treated so casually.She snapped, "You're utterly clueless about their worth! Had I known you'd squander these rare pills, I wouldn't have offered even one."Eating them only to spit them up later would be such a waste.Remus remained calm and said, "Perhaps you can't handle them, but for me, they are just ordinary pills. Let's go, we shouldn't waste time."He turned and walked away again."You!" Elsie was seething.Marsh was about to chime in, questioning Remus' apparent ignorance. However, they were soon astonished by a surge of spirit energy around Remus, escalating rapidly through cultivation stages, then abruptly halting.It progressed from the Training Stage to the middle stage, late stage, pinnacle ... and then
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
