Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind Remus.He turned to glance and witnessed Windsor descending from the sky, touching down with unwavering stability on the ground. The earth cracked beneath his feet as he held his long spear. Despite facing numerous opponents, he still unleashed a formidable energy.However, the sheer quantity of enemies was overpowering, although none of them had reached the Nascent Soul peak stage. Windsor was no longer at his peak condition either and could only defend himself, unable to counterattack."Don't hold back, let's finish him off together!" Xavier shouted.Everyone clenched their teeth and unleashed their spirit energy recklessly, merging it into a swirling mass above them. An array of weapons intertwined, creating a looming, ominous cloud overhead."Strike!" Don ordered immediately.Everyone attacked at once, sending a fierce onslaught toward Windsor.Windsor held his position, hoisting his spear to face the assault head-on. However, even if
Someone found Stan and pointed toward him. Everyone looked in that direction, and they all gasped in shock upon seeing Stan's condition.Don reacted the quickest. He rushed to Stan's side and searched his clothes but found nothing. He asked ferociously, "Where is the Oblivion Grass?"Stan was barely conscious, exerting great effort to raise his hand and weakly gesturing toward Remus.Everyone's attention immediately turned to Remus."My friend?" Windsor looked at Remus in disbelief and asked, "Did you... did you snatch the Oblivion Grass?"In Windsor's mind, Remus was someone full of righteousness. He had never expected him to engage in such actions, let alone severely injure someone.Remus frowned and said, "Being a good person doesn't always yield good outcomes. While you were fighting them, Stan didn't help but instead tried to leave. I went to stop him. People like him deserve to be eliminated."Xavier sneered and said, "One person puts on a show of righteousness to obst
Thousands of cultivators had waited for a full two hours outside the barrier, their impatience mounting.Among them, some were mere observers, while others held a deep stake in the unfolding events, including members of the Violet Sanctum or the Freestyle Organization, as it involved the disciples they had heavily invested in, young masters of organizations, or even their own children participating inside."Someone should have come out by now. Windsor, Xavier, and Don are all renowned geniuses. How can they still be inside?""No matter how difficult the challenge is, two hours should have been enough time to search for it. Moreover, there are hundreds of people searching. What exactly is happening inside?""The problem is, not a single person has come out!"The discussions grew louder and more frantic as time passed.Zaiden and the other three who were hovering in the air couldn't help but furrow their brows. According to their expectations, someone should have exited the curse w
Remus sat on a distant mountain peak.He had originally planned to change his appearance and rush out. However, there were too many people outside, and they surely remembered the faces of everyone who entered the assessment.If he came out with an unfamiliar face, it would certainly attract attention. But even using Remus Larson's appearance posed a risk, as it would draw the attention of that troublemaker Xavier Goon.But he wasn't in a hurry. He knew that someone would eventually succumb to the pressure and try to rush out first. When the situation became chaotic, he wouldn't be too late to make his move then.As expected, a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul Stage couldn't bear the pressure any longer. He lowered his head while weaving through the crowd, and when he reached the edge, he suddenly released his spirit energy, accelerating at his maximum speed as he charged toward the barrier.Seeing the scene, the cultivators outside the formation couldn't help but hold their br
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief at Windsor's request.What was he saying? Was he out of his mind?Obtaining the Oblivion Grass and successfully leaving with it would signify moving on to the next round—a tremendous opportunity. It wasn't something that would be readily handed over to him.Windsor's face reddened under their stares, and he knew how embarrassing his request sounded. He wanted to hide in embarrassment, but he was desperate to enter the sacred lands, and it was impossible without the Oblivion Grass.He forced himself to continue, "Even if you have the Oblivion Grass, you won't be able to leave with it. It might be wiser to entrust it to me. I assure you, if you do so, I'll be in your debt. Whenever and wherever you require aid, I'll always be there to assist you, without hesitation!"A commotion spread through the crowd. The people around Windsor stepped back, all feeling that he was acting strangely. Their looks went from seeing him as a monster to seeing him
The young man's eyes flickered at Windsor's words.Suddenly, his spirit energy burst forth, not sparing Windsor another glance, and he charged straight ahead. His speed surpassed the previous cultivator's, desperate to break through the barrier ahead.However, there was an impassable gap of 100 feet in the middle, and there was no way to cross it.He had barely dashed 50 feet when Xavier suddenly struck him with a divine whip, the lash coiling around the young man in an abrupt and unforgiving assault.The young man screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, a grievous wound revealing the bone beneath the torn flesh on his body."You..." Windsor seethed with anger, his frustration nearly making him spit out blood. The young man had to have known he couldn't succeed, yet he had willingly rushed to his demise without handing over the Oblivion Grass. All Windsor could do was helplessly watch as Xavier claimed the Oblivion Grass.He roared, "Don't you all see? There's no way out,
The crowd was completely stunned.Time was running out, and yet Remus decided to shatter the Oblivion Grass.Had he lost his mind?Was he aware that he had not only shattered the Oblivion Grass but also their hope?"You madman, you lunatic!""How can you destroy it?""Give it to me if you don't want it, I'm willing to protect it with my life. Why did you have to shatter it!"Some couldn't help but shout out. They were heartbroken, feeling as though their hearts had shattered along with it.Windsor was completely stunned in place, looking at Remus in disbelief. Soon, his expression changed, not into the anger and shame he had imagined, but rather into extreme disappointment.He said, "I apologize, this was my fault from the beginning! Seeing you'd rather destroy the Oblivion Grass than give it to me, I now understand how deeply I've hurt you. I'm sorry!"After he finished speaking, he even bent slightly.Remus was stunned, never expecting an apology. Windsor's behavior was co
Windsor lowered his head slowly."I tend to yield to gentleness rather than force." Remus sighed and shook his head helplessly.If Windsor had insulted or snatched from him, severing ties would have been simple. However, Windsor's heartfelt apology left him with a sense of guilt, especially when he saw him so disheartened.After some thought, Remus took out another Oblivion Grass from his pocket and said seriously, "Windsor, you don't need to apologize. Just protect me on our way out, and we'll remain friends, okay?"As everyone heard this, they turned their attention toward Remus, and they were all left utterly astounded upon glimpsing the Oblivion Grass in his hand.He still had one?Did he find two?Their eyes widened in sheer amazement. How incredibly fortunate he must be.Even Xavier and the others' mouths twitched.Windsor's body trembled as he looked at it, and he couldn't believe it. How much time had elapsed since their parting, and he had managed to stumble upon ye
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
