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
"Stop, that's enough!" Marsh interjected, his voice a mix of awe and bewilderment, "Your insights are astounding, Remus. You've shared the simplest method, and that suffices!"Remus halted his explanation. He hadn't misled them, each top-tier herb indeed possessed its unique spirit. A common example was ginseng, which had to be tied with a string, or it could easily escape.He replied, "Then, let us part ways here. If fate allows, we'll meet again!"Dawn was approaching, and they had to hasten their journey. Any delay on the road posed a greater threat to the Tanjen Organization. Resolving the matter with the Herbal Pavilion had become an urgent priority."Indeed, may fate bring us together again," Marsh replied, clasping his hands in respect. He watched Remus intently, feeling an unusual curiosity about this man, wishing to linger a moment longer.But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from above them, saying, "I had such a hard time finding you, haha!"All o
While Remus spoke, he reached out and took Gemma's hand, preparing to leave.As Elsie watched him depart, her eyes filled with disgust. Even though the incidents didn't involve Remus directly, they were acquainted with each other. In their moment of adversaries, he was simply fleeing without displaying any courage or taking responsibility as a man should."Stop right there!" Draig's voice boomed, his eyes gleaming with scorn."How can you deny any involvement in this? You clearly have the scent of medicine about you, and you must be an alchemist. If I'm not mistaken, the Oblivion Grass they possess was discovered with your assistance. By aiding them, you've become my enemy!"His disdain was echoed by his companions, their faces twisted in revulsion.Remus frowned and continued to explain, "Our paths crossed by chance. I aided them with Oblivion Grass in exchange for pills. Nothing more."Gemma was frightened and chimed in hastily, "Yes, it was just a trade, and there's no other
As Remus' declaration hung in the air, Marsh, Elsie, and Draig were equally stunned.Then suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted from above, all 12 people burst into laughter as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world."Did he just say he can kill Draig?""Hilarious! He's got quite the temper for such a little ant!""I love seeing little ants furious and talking nonsense. You should try killing him, haha!"Their laughter echoed through the mountain, a chorus of disbelief and amusement at Remus' audacity."Do you ... do you know what you're saying?" Elsie's eyes widened in anger. Draig had already intended to kill him, and he still dared to threaten them. If this persisted, Marsh might not only have to kneel but also endure further humiliation.Marsh struggled to speak, "Remus, I understand your anger, but be cautious with your words. You might unintentionally provoke more trouble—"His words were cut short by a startling development above.Draig, who had been exceedin
"You can't kill me! I'm a disciple of the Kenington Sacred Land!" The last remaining disciple felt an overwhelming sense of fear.He shouted in despair, "They paid you with Energy Replenishing Pills, right? I can do the same, please don't kill me."But Remus' response was as cold as the blade he wielded. "Your pills will be mine regardless." With one swift, precise strike, he ended the man's life.The sound of the body hitting the ground reverberated through the mountain, casting a chilling silence over the area.Marsh and Elsie remained frozen in place, their minds struggling to grasp the reality unfolding before them. The man who had just been killed was a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and yet Remus had dispatched him with astonishing ease. It wasn't just him, but the 12 other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators also fell one after another at the hands of Remus.Gemma broke the silence, her voice laced with a hint of pride. "You never understood the magnitude of his power.
In the rugged terrain of the vast mountains, Zaiden Hugo's rapid footsteps echoed, barely noticing the old man trailing behind him."Mr. Hugo, please slow down. Marsh can surely handle himself. Why this haste?" the old man calmly remarked, his voice contrasting sharply with Zaiden's urgency.Despite his words of reassurance, a mischievous glint danced in his eyes, hinting at his underlying intentions."Shut up!" Zaiden exclaimed, his face a mix of impatience and concern. He was far more anxious than he was willing to admit.The old man chuckled and taunted, "Mr. Hugo, my words are my own, how can you ask me to shut up? Letting the young ones settle their own disputes is a sign of wisdom, not negligence."Zaiden chose to remain silent as he marched ahead. Then, unexpectedly, a strong whiff of blood reached him, causing his heart to skip a beat."Could it be Marsh and Elsie?" he thought, quickening his pace.The old man behind also caught a whiff of it and looked surprised before
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
