Since becoming the Master of the Tanjen Organization, Remus had not personally contributed much. The book he wrote on his return was something like a compilation of his insights and experiences.Henry accepted it and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master.""I'll be off now!" Remus waved his hand and then soared into the air, leaving.He had planned to give the book to Henry, that was why he returned. Otherwise, he would have headed straight to Centuria to ask Miranda about the information on the Monington Sacred Land.Henry watched Remus leave and then opened the alchemy book."Alchemy is closely related to the properties, temperature, and timing of each medicinal ingredient. By mastering the timing, you can control each ingredient in the pill furnace to exert its maximum medicinal power..." As Henry read the first sentence, his whole body tensed up. Suddenly, he felt like his mind had opened up as if years of confusion had been swept away in an instant."So this is how it is!
Ruby quickly averted its gaze and continued flying forward, only to realize that its flight was somewhat unstable.Remus chuckled and asked eagerly, "So, have you laid eggs before... hey!" Before he could finish his sentence, Ruby suddenly flew upward again, even faster than before.Remus was startled and dropped from the sky for 100 yards. Seeing that it didn't come back, he quickly released his spirit energy to stop himself from falling to his death."What are you doing? I was just curious!"Ruby stayed away in the distance, flapping its wings quickly as if it were even angrier. "Come back!" Remus said helplessly. Ruby didn't return and remained where it was, keeping its distance. "I'm serious, I'm not joking," Remus said again.Ruby simply turned its head away, pretending not to hear.Remus was extremely frustrated, never imagining he'd one day be outwitted by a wild chicken.Without another word, he hurried on his way. Throughout the journey, Ruby didn't come any
Centuria's Vitalis Villa was crowded with guests, packed to the brim with people.There were magnates from Darsia's business sector, high-ranking officials from the military and the Cabinet, and other prominent figures from across Darsia. Moreover, the gathering attracted business moguls, representatives of various families, and members of royal families from around the globe."The wealthiest man in Darsia presented a jade sculpture depicting 1000 horses in full gallop, valued at 180 million!""A member of the Gleudor royal family gifted a golden scepter, worth 330 million!""The Cabinet contributed a set of calligraphy scrolls titled 'A Bright Future,' deemed priceless!"The announcements at the entrance came one after another. A rough calculation suggested that the gifts Joe received that day were worth at least 20 billion. It was even comparable to the assets of the richest person in a province in Darsia.They were all merely gifts he received that showcased his astounding inf
Joe raised his hand to signal for silence and smiled. "Next, let's proceed to the ribbon cutting! Let's put our hands together and welcome, one of the founders of Darsia's Dragon Group, Mr. Goetz Malin, to the stage!"Dressed in a formal suit, Goetz walked onto the stage under everyone's watchful eyes. "Let's welcome, the acting clan leader of the Darsia Dragon Group, Ms. Miranda Bowen, to the stage! Let's welcome, the Guardian of Darsia, the Supreme Commander of the Darsia's Military Department, Ms. Gabriela Valentine, to the stage!" Gabriela and Miranda emerged from the crowd.They were there to attend as well. They had just been standing among the people of the Military Department and the Dragon Group. "Let's welcome, Darsia's richest woman, Ms. Kylie Cox to the stage!""Let's welcome, the helmswoman of the Lotus family of Darsia, Ms. Jean Lotus, to the stage!" Both of them also ascended the stage.Once they were all up there, ribbons were brought out, along with a tray
Noticing their anxious faces, Remus paused. His displeasure was evident, as he glanced back at them. His anger was palpable, directed not only at Joe, who had unexpectedly emerged claiming to be his half-brother, but also at them.Despite knowing his aversion to Joe, they had still come to back him up, bringing the entire Cosby Family with them.What were they thinking?The four women saw Remus' gaze and felt a bit guilty. Quickly, they walked down from the stage and ran to Remus' side.Kylie spoke first, "Remus, don't act impulsively. Listen to our explanation."Jean also looked troubled. "This matter is very complicated, we...""Let's talk over there!" Miranda gently tugged at Remus's arm, her eyes blinking, filled with a plea.Seeing the look in the four women's eyes, Remus managed to suppress his anger and walked with them to the outskirts of the crowd. The venue remained eerily silent, with the guests not daring to make any sudden movements."Everyone, please don't be ne
"It's... it's my fault for misunderstanding you all!" Remus squeezed out the words through clenched teeth, understanding that they were all doing it for his own good, to preserve his reputation.Seeing that Remus' expression had changed, Joe sneered secretly. As representatives of one of the only two major powers in the world, how could the Dragon Protector Clan possibly allow any flaws in their investigation?Even with medical verification, tracing back three generations of ancestors would yield no clues. Such was the power of the Dragon Protector Clan.Now, it was merely about establishing the group to gain his recognition. In the future, he planned to use Remus' identity to take over his position, fame, wealth, power, and even all his women.Seeing Remus still watching him, Joe smiled and said, "My brother, it's getting late. If we delay any further, we'll miss the auspicious moment. How about we continue our conversation after the ribbon-cutting?"The ribbon-cutting would si
Joe's anger made his heart race.He had always thought that everything Remus had achieved until then was gained with sheer brute strength, and he never expected Remus to be so sharp and quick-witted.Since he was caught between a rock and a hard place, he decided not to advance or retreat. He tried to change the subject.Smiling, he said, "My brother, today..."But Remus didn't give him the chance, asking bluntly, "I'm asking you, do you agree or not? Anything else can be discussed later. Just tell me, do you agree or disagree?" The smile on Joe's face froze instantly.Remus didn't leave any room for maneuver at all.Looking at the people below the stage, he found that none of them intended to speak up.He turned his gaze slowly toward Gemma. At such a time, someone else needed to speak up, and she was the most suitable candidate.Understanding the situation, Gemma had already allied herself with Joe. His success was her success, and his leverage was her leverage.She spok
The one thing Gemma enjoyed the most was the attention of the crowd. Without anyone watching, what was the point?"Remus Cosby, stop right there!" Finally, Gemma spoke out with murderous intent, "Do you think you can just come and go as you please? Coming here without adding to the joy is one thing, but to actually cause trouble? Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?" Remus stopped in his tracks. Everyone else stopped too.Remus turned around to look, and everyone else turned to look as well. "Gemma!" Goetz, still on the stage, could see that Remus was getting angry and hurriedly reminded her.However, Gemma refused to listen."Grandpa, don't interfere. I also have shares in The Cosby Group!" Gemma continued to shout, "Remus Cosby, I don't care about your ridiculous reasons or if you want to take all the guests away, but... you've delayed my ribbon-cutting ceremony, and you must compensate me for that!"It wasn't that she was indifferent to the guests leaving; it was
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
