Suddenly, there came a voice from the front.Sandra, Emmerson, and the other disciples of Elena's faction all kneeled. With a desperate look, Emmerson pleaded, "Master Eythor, can I not try anymore? Please, we really don't want to try anymore. Elder Elena still has to teach us martial arts, and we must return as soon as possible."With tears streaming down her face, Sandra begged, "We really have no spiritual energy left. Master Eythor. If you continue like this, we'll have to complain to Elder Elena. Please spare us!"They came here like conscripted soldiers, feeling highly wronged. Now, they were being tortured for a second time, and they were all at the point of despair."You..."Master Eythor was taken aback. They weren't his disciples so he couldn't force them too much. Moreover, pushing too hard wouldn't be good for anyone.Before he could say more, Morris and the others also kneeled, accompanied by their followers.They broke down, saying, "Master, we can't take it anymor
Before this, they had also wondered if something was wrong with the spiritual trial stone. Their disciples were not inferior to the disciples of Monington in any way. They were all carefully selected geniuses, with only a dozen or so entering each year. They couldn't accept being considered Fools.But now, seeing the undeniable difference..."I know!"Sir Hudson suddenly spoke up, excitedly saying, "I've figured it out! I know what's different!"All the senior figures, including disciples, turned to look at him. The scene fell silent for a moment. They wondered if he had comprehended it.Sir Hudson said subconsciously, "Although we're all human, everyone is different. What we need to do is to admit that there are geniuses in this world and to accept our own normalcy. We can better understand ourselves by recognizing the gap between us and others, and..."As he spoke, he suddenly stopped upon noticing the darkening expressions and the embarrassed flush on their aged faces."Pfft.
The so-called side path wasn't just any curse.Remus felt a sense of warmth deep down. Though Sir Hudson made him feel positive, he was already mentally prepared for the worst, even death.After all, he still had the life-saving talisman given by the Emperor of the underworld.He could always come back as a different person.After all, if the Saint Master wanted him dead, his survival could lead her to persist and potentially threaten those close to him by fleeing.So... He felt that death was the best choice.He smiled and said, "No need. I won't give up until the last moment. What if I win? Hehe!"Sir Hudson couldn't believe he was still forcing a smile!He sighed inwardly again. He felt that Hudson could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive himself. At his age, he could still see through things.He nodded and said, "Since you insist, there's nothing more I can say.""But… Who did you strain under outside Monington? Also, you come from a martial background. Do you have a
Remus's scalp tingled!However, he felt that the current Sir Hudson looked similar to Elena.He thought that Elena was a beautiful woman, but he was an old man who had lived for hundreds of years.He wondered if it was appropriate for both to act this way towards a man."Hurry up, please, continue!" Sir Hudson's voice sounded somewhat impatient.Remus thought momentarily and said, "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, alone atop the west tower, gazing at the end of the world!"Sir Hudson suddenly froze in place. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Remus. This sentence didn't connect with what was said just now. He had just mentioned that the Monington didn't accept him, but he persisted in his devotion to the Monington. He wondered how Remus had come to the end of the road with no paths ahead, leaving him without hope.But before he could overthink, Remus's tone changed abruptly into a resounding one, "Even if my belt loosens with time, I have no regr
But now, everyone present couldn't retaliate as they still needed Sir Hudson.They quickly gathered around."Sir Hudson, what exactly did you do it? How did you do it?""Why is what we encountered the same, yet you were able to do it?""Share it with us, give us some guidance!"Sir Hudson saw their expressions and felt immense satisfaction. He stood with his hands behind his back. When he saw Elena among the crowd, he gave her a mysterious smile. He suspected she, too, had received guidance from Remus.He turned to the crowd and repeated Elena's words, saying casually, "You all have the same questions. As you know, breakthroughs can only be achieved through personal insights. No one can help. Even if they do, it depends on the timing, the situation, and the people involved."He added, "Each person's breakthrough is different. If I tell you now, you won't break through but become chains that hold yourselves back! Rely on yourself rather than others!"Upon hearing his response, e
"How did Sir Hudson and Elder Elena break through?""You've been sitting here all along, you must have seen, right?""Quick, tell us, what did they do, what did they comprehend!"Several people inquired urgently, their eyes turning red, and their speech quickened."Um..."Remus was startled when they suddenly descended in front of him. Then, he felt even more overwhelmed. He wanted to know, too! He had merely spoken a few words and hadn't even resolved his issues when they achieved their breakthroughs inexplicably. He doubted that they would believe him.Before he could answer..."Hurry up!"Master Eythor suddenly roared, his heart almost frantic. Seeing him hesitating, he directly threatened, "Tell us everything you know. If you dare to leave out a single word, don't blame me for what will happen to you!"Master Erjon also said, "Although you still have a day before you go to the Life and Death Platform, you may decide to give up entirely. But we can determine the quality of
Silence lingered for over a dozen seconds.Master Eythor silently turned around and walked toward the spiritual trial stone without saying a word.Seeing this, the others followed suit, sauntering.Although the method seemed ridiculous, success or failure hinged upon it. No one dared to laugh at themselves as long as they could break through.They felt that Remus wouldn't dare to lie.They all sat down before the spiritual trial stone, slowly infusing spiritual energy into them.The spiritual trial stone suddenly glowed with golden light, gradually converging into two words: "Fool!"Everyone was left speechless.Remus sat down again in the forest, looking at them coldly, and smirked. If they had patiently asked questions earlier, he might have considered recounting the previous events fully. The reason was simple; it was just a few words, and he wouldn't lose anything. But now they were threatening him with the arrogance of Elders. He couldn't blame anyone but himself."I'm no
Wilda's face turned red.Yes, she spoke extensively to ensure her master's happiness and then seized the opportunity to plead for Remus. She knew that with the Saint Master's intervention, Remus would be spared.With difficulty, she said, "Master, Remus's crimes are not..."Before she could finish, the Saint Master interrupted, saying, "Everyone has their own destiny. Things have come to this point because of his fate and his karma. Had he not killed Marc, none of this would've happened. He did what he did, so he must bear the consequences. Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. You may leave."Upon hearing this, Wilda's heart sank. Not talking about it meant Remus's inevitable demise, leaving her with no choice but to speak up.She raised her head and said, "Master, I have been taught by you for over twenty years, and I have never asked anything from you. This time, I beg you to spare him. From now on, I will certainly discipline him strictly, make him restrain his temper, an
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
