Before Gemma could finish her words, Goetz slapped her across the face and angrily shouted, "I've spoiled you. Who gave you the courage to oppose Remus? Even if you can't be his woman, can't you at least be his friend? "The Malin family has always been wise. How could I have such a stupid granddaughter like you?"He was furious, feeling like he had lost all dignity in his lifetime.Gemma looked at him incredulously. She had never been hit since she was a child. That was the first time.Goetz continued, "Do you know who just spoke? He is the new astrologer of Darsia, replacing the astrologer of the Spark family. You... really disappoint me!"After speaking, he also left angrily.Gemma was still in disbelief and took three steps back. Her footing was unstable, and she collapsed to the ground. Her face was extremely pale, with only the fingerprint on her face clearly visible. Not only was she stunned, Joe was even more dumbfounded.Who could have anticipated Remus to foil his pl
Remus sat on the main seat in the Cosby family's main hall.Kylie and Jean sat on his left side, while Gabriella and Miranda sat on his right. Outside the main hall stood hundreds of Cosby family members.Everyone was trembling with fear, cautiously eyeing Remus. Although he had spoken reasonably and even smiled during his time at the villa, it was clear to everyone that he was angry.They remained silent to avoid provoking him further.Remus glanced at the four women from the corner of his eye. Seeing their frightened appearances, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Their nervous expressions were too amusing.The four women and the hundreds of Cosby family members outside were all surprised. Why was Remus laughing?Remus gestured for the Cosby family members outside to leave, then chuckled, "Don't worry, I was just momentarily upset. I'm not a fool, and I understand you took the Cosby family members there for the sake of my reputation. I don't blame you all." He
Gabriela suddenly slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Don't give me that innocent look, answer the question directly! You said you were going to find Glinda and Wilda, but where are they? Why didn't they come back with you? "You didn't forget about them after you left, only to enjoy yourself, did you? Confess now!"Facing her almost interrogative gaze, Remus suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and it felt stifling."Remus," Kylie also spoke up, batting her eyelashes with tears in her eyes, saying weakly, "Your behavior at the villa today really scared me, and now I'm very unhappy. You… you must find every possible way to please me. Otherwise, I won't let you in my room either!"She issued the firmest words with the softest tone.Remus scanned the faces of the four women, utterly frustrated. "So, none of you feel sorry for me anymore, and instead, you're questioning my responsibility? Expecting me to apologize to you?" Jean said seriously, "I indeed demand an ap
"You jerk!""Scumbag!""You're shameless!""Don't ever come back!"The four women watched Remus' departing figure, barely holding back their curses. They had been fooled by him again, which was infuriating. Yet, as they watched Remus' figure disappear, they all felt a sense of emptiness, as if something was missing.The anger on their faces was replaced by a sense of loss."When will we ever be able to live together like a normal couple?" Jean sighed softly, expressing her sentiment in a low voice. Although her voice was soft, it was clear enough for the others to hear. Gabriela shook her head helplessly, saying, "Since we have chosen him, we must bear all that comes with him. He is destined not to be ordinary, so our lives cannot be like those of ordinary people.""Perhaps, it will never be possible," Miranda hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe one day, when we've grown strong enough to help him and share his burdens, he will have time to spend with us, right?"
"I'm not looking for Miranda, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go inside and talk." Remus found an opportunity and pointed to her office.Iris was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded. "Sure, please."Entering the office, Remus explained the purpose of his arrival."You... you're going to Monington Sacred Land?" Iris was shocked, then quickly shook her head."Mr. Cosby, that place… it's better if you don't go. It's extremely dangerous, even a Deity realm wouldn't dare to approach. Why do you want to go there?"Remus sat on the chair and said casually, "I need to handle some matters there. By the way, if I remember correctly, you were promoted from the Northeast team, right? You should be very familiar then!"He had momentarily overlooked her presence, only recalling it when she spoke up.The approximate location of the Monington Sacred Land was northeast of Darsia, and she used to be in charge there.Iris nodded, embarrassed. "It's precisely because I un
Iris was right.Even now, it felt like a dream to her. In most cases, no one would share their secret techniques with others, as making others stronger would mean cultivating one's own competitors. It was normal for masters to keep their methods close to their hearts.Someone like Remus, who freely shared his knowledge, was extremely rare. Upon hearing Iris' words, everyone simultaneously halted in their tracks and turned to look. Their faces were first shocked, then joyful, and finally an unprecedented glow appeared in their eyes.Suddenly, they all rushed over. Jostling each other, they said, "Deputy Leader, let me see!""Let me have a look, please!""Give it to me first, I asked Mr. Cosby for guidance, please!" Each person stretched out their hands, creating a cacophony of noise, like a flock of hungry chicks."Silence!" Iris was about to say more, completely unprepared for them to come over directly, and yelled, "Stop fighting over it, I will make copies for you all t
What did Marten just do? Did he just snatch the book away?He was the Leader of the Dragon Team, how could he compete with his subordinates for things?Did he still adhere to ethics?Moreover, wasn't he in seclusion? How could he come out so easily?Afterward, everyone began to collapse."Ms. Lynch, that was ours, we asked Mr. Cosby to write it!""Ms. Lynch, please get it back, I just want to see it, even if just for a moment, please!""How can someone be like this, he's the leader of the Dragon Team, he's too selfish!" Their agitation grew, with some members even shedding tears, frustrated by the situation. Iris was also on the verge of breaking down.Not to mention them, she hadn't even seen it herself. Who could have anticipated that the esteemed leader of the Dragon Team would do such a thing?Had she known, she would have kept it in her office to secretly read it."What's happening?" A voice suddenly came from behind the crowd. Miranda, dressed in her uniform, ap
Ruby was attuned to human emotions and understood Remus well.Knowing Remus, once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him otherwise. So, it didn't protest further and quietly spread its wings to cover Remus.Remus was taken aback by its actions.If Ruby were human, would that count as being embraced?He thought about pushing it away, but seeing Ruby's listless eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do so. Instead, he sat down to meditate and absorb the spirit energy around him.His entire body was shielded by Ruby's large wings.A man and his phoenix.They remained in that state, and time slipped by unnoticed. At midnight, the mountain breeze blew gently under the bright moon. Suddenly, a powerful roar echoed through the mountains, resembling thunder, shaking the night sky and causing birds and beasts to flee. Ruby immediately raised its head, looking into the woods warily.Remus had also opened his eyes.The sound was familiar to him. It was the roar of a tiger, a so
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
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
