Master Warner's eyes blazed with a fierce, fiery intensity as he confronted them. "In these vast mountains, who else could it possibly be but you? Do you think I'm foolish?"Zaiden stepped forward, his voice firm. "It truly wasn't them!"Frustration etched across his face as he spoke, "Look closely at their wounds! They were slain by a spirit energy-transformed blade, a technique foreign to our sacred lands. We focus on refining techniques, while the outsiders harness spirit energy to craft deadly weapons. There's a stark difference!"As Master Warner surveyed the scene, he was greatly shocked to see that all their wounds were from being struck down by a single blade. His voice wavered, a mix of shock and realization. "These ... these are indeed marks of spirit energy transformation. But how?""The individuals who attacked them are at least in the Divine Separation Stage!" Zaiden's expression mirrored Master Warner's shock. "A cultivator at the Divine Separation Stage? I've nev
Glinda arrived at the Imperial Villa. She resumed her original appearance and sat in the empty living room, all alone. She had been waiting here for two days and hadn't seen a single soul.Just then, the door creaked open, and Kylie, who was dressed in office attire, entered the room from outside."Glinda?" Kylie's eyes initially showed a hint of surprise but quickly turned cold."Back so soon, Glinda? Tired of chasing your perfect man already? Or did he get tired of you?" she taunted.Their relationship had been quite harmonious before, but it had taken a sour turn following Glinda's previous return. She had incessantly extolled her "ideal man" while belittling Remus, resulting in a heated and bitter confrontation.Glinda's face was initially lit with the joy of reunion but darkened at Kylie's words. "I'm afraid to disappoint you. We're doing very well. I'm here for a different reason. Is there a new woman at the Villa?"Kylie's tone was nonchalant. "Remus Spark brought her. B
In order for the 17 nations to collaborate with Remus, it was crucial to first establish a good relationship with the woman by his side.Kylie had now become the legitimate richest woman in Darsia. Her return today was just a coincidence."Naming?" Glinda's voice was laced with contempt. "I wish I could skin Remus alive, break his bones, and reduce him to ashes. And you want me to come up with a name? Are you not afraid I might poison it instead?"Kylie's expression turned completely cold, and she said angrily, "No wonder you're considered the Witch of True Life that everyone should avoid. How can your thoughts be so malicious? Imperial Villa doesn't welcome you. Get out immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for poisoning you first!""Get out!" Her finger jabbed toward the door, her voice escalating to a shout.Glinda clenched her teeth, her resolve faltering. She had planned to meet Selina, but now, she was at a loss for words and overwhelmed by the situation.What could she sa
Remus was still on the road, completely unaware that his victory over the coalition of 17 nations had captured the world's attention, leading several nations to visit Darsia in search of cooperation opportunities.As a result, Kylie and Jean went to Centuria to sign contracts, with Selina accompanying them.Unexpectedly, Glinda had waited at the Imperial Villa for two days when she unexpectedly encountered Kylie, sparking a tense confrontation.According to his plan, the intended sequence was for Glinda to first meet Selina. Selina would then inform her about Remus' mission to rescue her and reveal that the "Glinda" that perished during the Witch-Slaying Summit was actually Silver Cosby. This sequence would have unveiled the entire truth.However, things had taken an unexpected turn.…Remus stood on a mountaintop, gazing at an ancient city nestled beneath the clouds, roughly ten miles in the distance."Could this truly be ... the renowned Herbal Pavilion?" Gemma, catching her
Remus heard Gemma's words and slowly opened his eyes as though in a trance. As he beheld Gemma standing before him, a shiver ran through his body. He couldn't quite determine if it was the breathtaking scenery, the moonlight, or maybe the wind playing with her tousled hair, but he suddenly found her incredibly beautiful. His heart quickened its pace.Gemma keenly observed the subtle shifts in his expression, and her heart surged with joy. She leaned against Remus' chest, her voice growing even softer as she said, "You're the only man I've ever been willing to give everything for, Remus. I truly care for you. Can't we consider being together for the rest of our lives? Please, reconsider going to the Herbal Pavilion."She tilted her head up. Her large, watery eyes were blinking as she gazed at him.Remus was noticeably taken aback and lowered his gaze to meet hers. From his vantage point, her allure was undeniable.His tone softened slightly as he replied, "If I don't go to Her
Gemma's heart sank as she watched Remus walk away, feeling utterly helpless. She whispered under her breath, "I'll leave after you're dead."Meanwhile, Lance took the lead in the Herbal Pavilion, flanked by Deputy Masters Egbert and Lionel Joseph. Behind them, a formidable contingent of nearly 100 skilled alchemists followed. Together, they exited the main hall, crossed the tranquil courtyard, and finally passed through the gate.As they walked out, three people approached them. Behind them was a young couple, Marsh and Elsie, both wielding longswords. Leading the way was their master, Master Zaiden Hugo.Lance quickly greeted him with clasped hands, "Master Hugo, your visit has brought glory to the Herbal Pavilion. Please forgive me for not meeting you sooner."The crowd echoed his sentiments, chanting in unison, "Welcome, Master Hugo!"In the grand tapestry of existence, Zaiden's significance remained a mystery to most, but to the disciples of the Herbal Pavilion, his true sta
Zaiden was completely puzzled, not understanding what they were talking about.He had come in search of the previous night's mysterious genius, not for the troubles they were discussing.Observing Marsh and Elsie's expressions, it was evident that they definitely knew something. Given their capabilities, it was unlikely they could have found the Oblivion Grass so swiftly. Thus, he deduced, an alchemist must have been involved, and the Herbal Pavilion was the obvious source.Zaiden thought to himself, "Could it be that Lance intentionally didn't mention the genius but instead talked about recent troubles to get me to help with the trouble first, and then introduce the genius to me later?"With that thought in mind, Zaiden maintained his pretense of offering sincere assistance, and he furrowed his brow as he inquired, "Have you not uncovered any traces whatsoever?"Lance shook his head in frustration. "He's elusive, well-hidden."Egbert interjected, "We suspect he's nearby, layin
Upon hearing the name "Remus Calsberg", a wave of realization swept through the crowd at the Herbal Pavilion. Disbelief and shock were etched on their faces, as they had not expected the infamous Remus to not only confront them directly but to do so in such a bold manner."Remus Calsberg?" Marsh and Elsie exchanged astonished glances. It dawned on them that he was the same person who had killed Draig. The perplexing question that loomed over them was how did Remus Cosby become Remus Calsberg?In the following moment, Egbert, overwhelmed by anger, couldn't contain himself any longer and shouted with a fiery temper, "You arrogant scoundrel! You dare to step foot into the Herbal Pavilion and challenge death? Tonight, I will ensure your utter defeat!"Lionel's eyes were filled with fury. "We were about to come after you, but you've taken the initiative to come here. Since you're here, you'll stay here forever!"They both unleashed their spirit energy and ascended into the sky. Wi
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
