Remus calmly responded, "Why should I agree just because you ask me to? If I ask you to die for me, would you agree?"Alfie tensed up, not quite grasping what he was saying.Remus couldn't be bothered to continue with her nonsense.He mounted Bucky and said to Hadden, "Take the black bear beast's inner core for me, as well as the inner cores from them and from you. I don't care about the rest."He hadn't intended to get involved or steal inner cores since expending spirit energy for them in the perilous Longmoon Mountains didn't seem worthwhile.But now, seeing them weakened to the point of easy defeat, he felt it was too good an opportunity to pass up."I..." Hadden was at a loss for words, having never imagined that after fighting to the end and losing his brothers, he'd also lose his inner cores.He didn't dare hesitate and quickly turned to Bartholomew and the others.Before he could speak…"Remus Clayton!" Alfie shouted again, almost exploding with anger. If looks could
Remus rode Bucky through the forest, not giving much thought to Bartholomew and the others.Their fate was already sealed, and there was no need to dwell on the dead. His focus should be on how to handle things after entering the sacred land.There was no need for an elaborate explanation with Glinda as revealing his true identity as Remus Cosby was enough.She would surely shed tears of joy and rush into his embrace, knowing well that Remus Calsberg and he were one and the same. The identity of Remus Calsberg had saved her and been with her. Under the guise of Remus Cosby, he had ventured into the depths of the Violet Sanctum to rescue Selena.She would be moved beyond words."The real challenge now is... Wilda." Remus was somewhat worried.He had never met her, didn't know her at all in fact. The only thing he knew was that she was a person from the sacred land."What if she disagrees? What if her cultivation level is overwhelming? What if the sacred land also disagrees?"Whe
Remus thought seriously to himself, "Normally, even if a temple was in ruins, the statues should still be there. But not only is there no statue at the front, but there are also no guardian statues on the sides…"It was as if everything had been moved out.He stepped into the temple. As he entered, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, a coldness that penetrated his marrow like never before.There was a curse there, a very strong, very grand curse that even he felt powerless to resist.Quickly stepping back, Remus turned to Bucky and asked, "Is this the entrance to the sacred land?"Bucky, lying on the ground, nodded gently.Remus took only a second to decide. He couldn't break through the curse, not with his current abilities at least. Even if he could, it would alert the people of the sacred land, posing too great a risk.However, he still had to go to the assessment venue.Then, he took out all the inner cores from his pocket, selecting three, includ
The light was spotty, like thousands of fireflies dancing.Eventually, it converged into one.The form of an elder materialized from the unified beacon of light. The elder was draped in a blue robe, his hair and beard a stark white, projecting an air of kindness and wisdom.He gazed into the distance, lost in thought.After a contemplative quarter-hour, he broke the silence, saying, "Her energy lingers. Should all be as it seems, he's her child."He paused and said heavily, "Fate and destiny have led you to the path of cultivation, for you seek salvation for your parents. Yet, do you comprehend the finality of your choice?"He sighed and continued, "The celestial realms have already commenced their search. If you are discovered..."He trailed off, then solemnly shook his head. "Discovered or not, your fate is yours to meet. Today, I will feign ignorance, in a last nod to Melody Lilibet."With those words, he faded away, and the temple crumbled back to ruins, as if the brief int
They couldn't see the Saint Master, and they didn't know if he had left, but they still remained quiet.Yet their eyes were wide with shock.Emerson.He was the only one who had passed the first round, and an immortal had appeared.Did that mean the appearance of the immortal was because of him?It seemed very likely.The Saint Master spoke again, "An immortal has appeared, so we must pay special attention. Let's send another person to oversee the examination. Also, tell Wilda that there is a cultivator with exceptional talent in the assessment, and she should pay extra attention!"As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Saint Master, I can go. I will definitely ensure the safety of the cultivators!""I should go. I am the best candidate!""It should be me. I have the most experience. Please allow me, Saint Master!"Being an examiner was not just about conducting assessments, but also about gaining an advantage.Although all
The path was teeming with wolf beasts and a variety of other formidable beasts.Yet, the gathering of cultivators was equally impressive, most of whom had reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage, with a few radiating even more potent spirit energies.It was crucial to understand that their attainment to the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage was not similar to the same stage found in the True Life Realm.These cultivators have battled beasts for years, honing a purer form of spirit energy and accumulating vast experience.If they were to work together, it wouldn't be hard to break through.However, all eyes turned to Remus after hearing his suggestion.Everyone looked at Remus as if he were a fool.Work together to break through? How could they possibly do that?Even if they charged in together, there would be differences in the front and back, left and right positions. Moreover, the wolves would attack whoever they wanted to attack as a group, definitely not distributing th
Remus must enter the sacred lands.He had dozens of Energy Replenishing Pills, dozens of inner beast cores, and two Spirit Vessels on him, all of which were his trump cards.Upon hearing Remus' words, everyone fell silent again and looked over.The person closest to Remus sneered, "Alright, as long as you go first, what's to stop me from following?""Hahaha, alright! A mere Golden Stage cultivator chose to take the lead, what do I have to fear?""Don't just talk, hurry up and go, we will all support you, hehe!"Remus couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with them and simply took a deep breath. He walked through the crowd to get to the front, where there was a forest.The forest actually led to a valley, resembling a path in the woods, with slopes on both sides.He stepped onto the path.Under everyone's gaze, he walked forward slowly. His pace was not fast because the forest was full of beasts, and it was impossible to just rush through.Being too hasty could overlook ris
As soon as Remus' words fell, all the wolf beasts stopped.They had cultivated for decades, and they naturally understood human speech.The cultivators were also stunned for a moment.What was Remus talking about? Did he just mention wanting to talk to the Wolf King?Remus looked at the Wolf King, neither servile nor overbearing, and said, "I won't take long, just a few words. It won't affect you in any way and it won't be too late to act after I've spoken!"The Wolf King stared at Remus and finally moved, slowly descending from the mountain. Its steps were very steady, exuding the demeanor of a king.As it moved, the moonlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting speckled lights upon it, making it appear even clearer.The cultivators in the distance watched this scene with wide eyes.Even though they were far away from Remus, they couldn't help but feel tense. After all, with the Wolf King being so large and of such high cultivation, it would have put pressure on anyone.
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
