Gerry was feeling triumphant. Hearing someone asking a question, he instinctively turned around and began to say, "I was saying, I want to—"Before he could complete his sentence, his gaze fell upon the person asking the question, and his face instantly drained of color, as though he had come face-to-face with a malevolent specter.Overwhelmed by fear, his scalp prickled, and his eyes widened in sheer disbelief.Seeing Gerry's reaction, everyone also turned to look.Upon catching sight of the person standing behind them, everyone froze in their tracks, feeling an intense rush of blood surging to their heads, and their eyes bulging out in sheer astonishment.If they weren't cultivators, blood would have sprayed from their heads, and their eyes would have shot out of their sockets."Remus Calsberg!" the crowd shouted.Gemma and Master Sky also screamed in fear, their bodies became tense, feeling as if cold air was seeping into their bodies through every pore. An eerie wind seemed
Everyone took a sharp breath, their bodies trembling, as they fixed their eyes on Gemma and Master Sky.They did think that the two women's actions were intolerable, especially given that Remus had only just died, and they were already embracing the very adversary he had fought against.Who could have imagined that Remus had actually survived and returned?She pleaded, "Remus, can you find it in your heart to forgive me? Originally, I was loyal to you, I even brought the entire Jade Organization here to show my sincerity. It was that wretched woman who claimed you were dead, and I couldn't allow the entire Jade Organization to be buried with you. "I had no other choice, and I had to make compromises. The truth is, you're the only one in my heart. I swear on my life that in this lifetime, I will be nothing but your faithful companion, and I will never betray you!"She raised her finger as if swearing.Remus saw her act and sneered, "Companion? When did I ever say I wanted you as
Remus finally smiled upon seeing Henry and the others.In fact, the reason he returned to the Tanjen Organization first was to assure them that there was no need for fear or panic.He explained with a smile, "I went to the Herbal Pavilion, intending to destroy it, but I encountered a Master of the sacred land there who intervened to ensure fairness. He arranged an alchemy duel between me and the Master of the Herbal Pavilion, Lance Walker, and I won in the end."However, as the Master of the sacred land maintains strong connections with the Herbal Pavilion, I chose to gracefully accept a draw as a sign of respect. I also communicated clearly with the Herbal Pavilion that moving forward, we would avoid any conflicts and put our past differences behind us!"He spoke casually but his words carried indescribable shock to the listeners. There was a lot of information to digest in just those few sentences.First and foremost, Master Calsberg possessed the capability to potentially disma
Gemma stood in place, watching the increasingly distant figure of Remus and spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling as if her entire world was collapsing.But there was nothing she could do.She got up and quietly left.…Remus asked, "Has anyone from the Violet Sanctum or the Freestyle Organization arrived yet?"His biggest concern upon leaving was the Violet Sanctum and the Freestyle Organization, fearing they might take his absence as an opportunity for revenge.Henry walked behind him, shaking his head as he spoke, "No, there hasn't been any news. I believe the Violet Sanctum is patiently awaiting for their Master to emerge from seclusion. "As for the Freestyle Organization, it's presently under the sole leadership of their young master, Xavier Goon, who is preparing to enter the Sacred Lands. If he were to seek revenge, it would likely only be after the ascension."Remus nodded and then said, "I'll need to leave again for a while. I'll have Wind Hunter guard Tanjen, a
Garfield was sitting in the main hall of the Herbal Pavilion.Lance was accompanying him, looking somber as if mourning. He had persistently inquired in private if Garfield could lend his assistance in addressing the Remus situation throughout the previous night.Regrettably, Garfield exhibited no desire to engage in their matter, his full attention centered solely on apprehending the culprit behind Draig's death. If the state of their affairs persisted, it was evident that once news spread of Remus' imminent affiliation with Shenington, there would be no more opportunity for revenge. The reputation of the Herbal Pavilion hung precariously in the balance.Clattering footsteps were heard from outside the door. It was Deputy Master Egbert who walked in, holding a bag of pills in his hand.He said respectfully, "Master Warner, the top-grade pills you requested have been successfully refined. They're all here.""Great!" Garfield responded, quickly getting up to take the bag of pills
Upon hearing the commotion, Garfield slowly walked out of the main hall.Seeing Remus' figure, his expression instantly darkened. The act of treading in air was a major provocation in anyone's territory. Although he was set on avenging his disciple, he still held sentiments toward the Herbal Pavilion. Moreover, he now suspected Remus of killing Draig.He asked indifferently, "Are you Remus Calsberg?"Upon laying eyes on Garfield, Remus subtly furrowed his brow, sensing a profound and inscrutable energy emanating from him.After a brief contemplative pause, he respectfully clasped his fists and spoke, "Yes, I am Remus Calsberg, it's my pleasure to meet you."Lance and Egbert were dumbfounded. The disciples of the Herbal Pavilion were also confused. Remus' demeanor was completely different from the night before.Why wasn't he acting arrogantly now? It was as if he had become a different person.Garfield, although surprised by Remus' demeanor, maintained a stern expression and fi
Remus' words left Lance and Egbert feeling choked, and they almost suffocated.Their original strategy was to have Garfield focus on Remus, but now, all the complications seemed to be converging on them. Most frustratingly, they found themselves unable to counter his claims.Garfield suddenly turned his head toward the two, his eyes filled with rage, and questioned, "Did you do this on purpose?""No!" Lance blurted out and rushed to explain, "Master Warner, how could we possibly have planned such a deliberate scheme? I beg you not to be swayed by that bastard's words. You mustn't believe a single word he utters!"Egbert's expression turned pale with fear and added. "Master Warner, this bastard is extremely cunning. You must see through his lies. He's trying to set you against the Herbal Pavilion!"Before Garfield could speak, Remus responded swiftly, "Actions speak louder than words, and no amount of rhetoric can alter the facts! Why would I, a proficient master of alchemy, resort
After Garfield left, the atmosphere at the scene finally eased a bit. However, the alchemists and disciples of the Herbal Pavilion all looked at Lance and Egbert with mixed emotions in their eyes.Just a few days prior, the Master and Deputy Master had been revered as god-like figures in their eyes, serving as pillars of psychological support and belief.However, over these past few days, they had experienced a series of setbacks, from alchemical failures to today's rebuke from Master Warner. In an instant, their perception shifted, and they began to question whether the two figures were truly as invulnerable as they had once believed."Remus Calsberg!" Lance finally regained his composure, standing up angrily.He shouted fiercely, "You barge into my Herbal Pavilion, and you hover above it! Do you believe this is a place where you can casually trespass? Today, even if it earns me Master Hugo's anger, even if I face punishment, I will ensure to apprehend you at the very spot you sta
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
