The entire square fell even quieter than before Remus made his choice.He was supposed to choose a Master, but his words to Glinda shocked everyone. "Whoever you choose, I will choose the same."What did that mean? Was he planning to choose a guiding Master alongside Glinda?The crowd looked on, puzzled.The Masters in front, even Wilda, were surprised by his statement."Even if it was just a little help from you, I should return the favor with all I can." Remus offered a casual justification.He said loudly, "Yesterday, when I was exhausted in both body and spirit, no one would offer me a moment's rest, except for Glinda. Naturally, I must repay her kindness. Glinda, whoever you choose, I will choose the same!"After all, she was already his woman, and he could not let her suffer at any time.Hearing that, Glinda looked over in astonishment, a warm current flowing through her heart.His words were like a burst of warm sunshine in snowy weather.The Masters in front also re
The Deputy Saint Masters and Masters at the front were taken aback.Wasn't that disciple in secluded meditation for insight? Why had he come out?The disciple puffed out his chest, facing forward, and said loudly, "Greetings, Deputy Saint Masters, and Masters. On behalf of 329 Monington disciples, I seek your guidance. We wish to understand the punishment he should face for killing Marc."The expressions of the Deputy Saint Masters and Masters turned bitter.Clearly, that issue remained unresolved, and they were uncertain of how to proceed.Remus was under the attention of an immortal and had been acknowledged by the Saint Master herself as a candidate for attaining immortality.They simply had no authority over him.Since yesterday, they had hoped to sweep the matter under the rug, letting it fade away as if it never happened.Yet, now he was raising the issue on everyone's behalf.It was a tricky question to tackle.Grandmaster Aurelius frowned and said, "Kennard, do not ca
The entire place fell into a dead silence.Everyone's eyes were wide open, their mouths agape at Remus' bold declaration.What kind of audacious statement was that?Even Kennard was momentarily at a loss for a response.Undeterred, Remus raised his voice as he spoke, "To belittle others is to open oneself to humiliation. The entire conflict was sparked by my accidental wrong turn, for which I promptly offered my apologies."It was he who was relentless, and in the end, he even begged me to kill him. How am I in the wrong for simply fulfilling his request?"Hearing that, the Monington disciples finally found a reason to vent their anger."You admit to taking a wrong turn. Our Monington disciples' residence is not a place for a parasite like you to just barge into!""If we follow your logic, since we consider our residence more sacred than life itself, your intrusion justifies your death!""Yes, taking a wrong turn is a grave sin, killing you would be justified!"They were all
After Grandmaster Aurelius finished speaking, he turned to walk back to the main hall again.The matter was already out of their hands, and the best course of action at that moment was to make a decisive decision immediately to stop them from rebelling.Seeing that, the other Deputy Saint Masters also turned to return to the main hall. Only a fool would keep themselves in the whirlpool of the situation.Remus remained silent, finding the outcome to be acceptable.Just then, a sound echoed and broke the silence.Everyone saw Kennard kneel on the ground, saying loudly, "I boldly request the Saint Master to appear and uphold justice!"Simultaneously, the 328 Monington disciples knelt, their collective plea thundering through the air, "We, the Monington disciples, beg the Saint Master to appear and uphold justice!"That was the second plan they had prepared, which was to have the Saint Master herself step in.Their voices were louder than before, like a thunderclap exploding acro
Hearing the Saint Master's declaration, everyone felt as if their minds had been struck by lightning, completely shocked that the Saint Master actually agreed.The Deputy Saint Masters and Masters, led by Grandmaster Aurelius, were dumbfounded as well.The Saint Master was supposed to have high hopes for Remus and should be prioritizing him to focus on his cultivation.Why would she allow him to go to the Life and Death Platform, essentially sending him to his death?The sacred land disciples below were also stunned.It was a well-established fact that the lowest tier among Monington disciples was the Divine Unity Stage, which was at least two significant realms above Remus.Kennard and the other Monington disciples shared the astonishment.Their initial plea for "blood for blood" was meant as a lofty demand, and they had anticipated a compromise at most. They had not genuinely sought to claim Remus' life. Given his demonstrated capacity to summon immortals, his presence was u
The rationale provided by Grandmaster Sylvanus appeared to be the only one that could make sense of the situation. Even though Remus had managed to kill Marc with a combination of martial skills in a stroke of luck, that was merely an accident. Marc was someone beyond the Divine Unity Stage, and the gap between him and Remus was obvious to everyone.If Remus was afforded a second opportunity, and should Marc exercise caution, replicating such an outcome would be beyond Remus' reach."Mr. Clayton…" Glinda slowly turned around, looking at Remus sympathetically.She wanted to plead for him, even if he wasn't Remus Cosby.Just based on his recent actions, she felt obliged to return the favor, but she knew her influence was far too insignificant to make a difference.On the square, Kennard stood up with a cold voice and said disdainfully, "Mr. Clayton, I'll see you on the Life and Death Platform in three days. I want to see how much strength this so-called genius really has, and if m
Remus was at a loss for words upon hearing Wilda's comments.Her words were too disheartening. Even if it was a lie, she could have at least tried to encourage him.He reiterated, "I haven't recovered yet. Right now, I've only regained about 20 percent of my strength."His vital energy had recovered quickly, close to half, but his spirit energy was much less, at most by only 20 percent.Though he was only at the peak of the Golden Stage, it should be noted that the peak of his spirit energy, contained with divine energy, surpassed even his martial arts in strength. Thus, saying he had recovered 20 percent might be modest, but it certainly wasn't more than 40 percent.Wilda said, "I know, but there's still no hope. Kennard specializes in metal techniques, controlling all things metal in the world, and he's at the mid-stage of the Divine Unity Stage, even touching the threshold of the late Divine Unity Stage. "Looking across the entire sacred land, no, in the entire cultivation
Was Remus flirting?Was he really in the mood to be flirting at such a moment?He had only just met Glinda.How bold was he to utter those words so soon?In an instant, Glinda's admiration for him dissipated a bit, and she said seriously, "You're mistaken. Remus Cosby is no ally of mine. He is my irreconcilable enemy!"Upon hearing her declaration, astonishment rooted Remus to the spot.Enemy?How had he turned into her enemy despite having saved her and Selina?Moreover, hadn't they been together before?During the True Life assessment, she had even shown great affection for him.Could it be that she was doing that on purpose?Pondering briefly, he retorted, "Well, that's great then. Since Remus Cosby isn't your partner, there's no emotional weight on you. We could pursue dual cultivation and together..."Before he could finish, a cold voice interrupted, "Will you be leaving, or not?"Remus was taken aback and hastily replied, "Yes, I'm coming..."He momentarily overlook
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
