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
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," Wilda silently lamented. Quickly, she turned around and left, unsure how to confront the situation. No matter how she approached it, the circumstances remained tragically unchanged.When Remus saw her leaving, his smile suddenly froze. "Could it be that my smile isn't pleasing to her? Did it make her disgusted?""Remus!"The furious voice of Master Eythor came from ahead. "How long are you going to keep this up?"His tone was highly suppressed.Remus had to look over it. When he saw their condition, he was shocked. He had only lost focus for less than a minute, and they had already beaten themselves to a bloody mess, with faces so swollen that they were unrecognizable.He forced a dry laugh. "Um, I don't know. Elder Elena slapped himself for two hours straight, and Sir Hudson also slapped himself for the duration of an incense stick!""Um, this, it might vary from person to person."As soon as he finished speaking, Master Eythor and the other
Soon, Master Eythor and the others all left."Retribution, it's all retribution!" Remus murmured as he watched their figures depart.Actually, when he made his move just now, he sought revenge and deliberately wanted to provoke them into leaving. He thought they were being too disruptive here, making it impossible for him to calm down and think.Now that he was the only one left, it was unexpectedly peaceful for him."Master Tyson once said: 'There is always a way out of difficulty. When there seems to be none, it's always because we haven't thought hard enough. There's always a solution if we think more!'" Remus entered into a contemplative state once again.He had to contemplate because if he couldn't come up with a solution, he would die!Time passed quickly.In the blink of an eye, it was night, then day, and now it was dusk.And tomorrow would be the day of the life-and-death battle in the arena!Remus remained seated in his spot. He was as still as an old monk in meditat
Miranda's main focus was now on the Dragon Team. She had heard about the crisis last time and investigated it. But once it was resolved, she didn't dwell on it much.Kylie nodded. "Yes, not only did Joe resolve the problem, but he has also been proposing the formation of the Centuria Chamber of Commerce recently. Judging by the current trend, he will become its chairman!"Pausing momentarily, she continued, "You know, sisters, have you noticed how Joe's been getting more mysterious lately? He's been making all these big moves, grabbing everyone's attention, but something about it just doesn't sit right with me. I have this feeling that he's up to something... something shady."It took a lot of courage to say these words, especially since everyone assumed that Joe and Remus were blood brothers.Gabriela nodded.Miranda nodded.Jean also nodded!They all felt it. Before this, in both business and martial arts within Centuria, Remus was the leader, the symbol of faith!Since the l
"Gemma!" Joe whispered sharply, "How could you speak like that? The Cosbys family belongs to my brother, and the head of the Cosbys family will always be my brother. This will never change. Also, you're just my girlfriend right now. You're not a true member of the Cosbys family in the real sense. From now on, if you can join the Cosby family with a happy heart, you're welcome. If not, then maybe you shouldn't come back. Got it?"Upon hearing this, Gemma became more obedient and nodded, "I understand. I'll listen to you."Joe ignored her and smiled at the four women. "Don't be angry, sisters. Gemma is ignorant. Let me apologize to you on her behalf. We're all family, and there's no need to quarrel. Let's just calm down. Harmony brings prosperity, hehe."Upon hearing this, the four women felt as if they had been struck in the chest, leaving them breathless. They actually wanted to continue the previous conversation and ask what Gemma meant by saying that the future of the Cosbys famil
And Joe? He gets nothing at all!Finally, the four women spoke up.Kylie said with a hint of awkwardness, "This doesn't feel quite right. What if we do this tomorrow... and have Gemma join us as a judge too?"The opportunity to be a judge must not be missed. To show goodwill, they felt they could only pull Gemma along.Jean also nodded, "The four of us are too few, and if there are disagreements, it's not good for four people to make decisions. It's better if you join us!"Gemma sneered, "You think I don't want to, but Cosbys...""Gemma!"Joe suddenly interrupted, casting a cold glance at Gemma. Seeing this look, Gemma became even more docile, lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with him.He continued, "Gemma is not needed. She's not suitable. The four of you are just right. It's settled. I still have a lot of things to handle, so I'll take my leave.""Leaving already?" Gabriela stood up instantly, having only said a few words.Joe smiled, "On one hand, I'm indeed very
In the forest of Monington, Remus slowly opened his eyes."Ah..."He sighed softly, then lifted his head to gaze at the starry sky above."There's really no other way."He had to admit it. He had pondered many things and could say he had thought of every possible solution. However, the gap between him and Kennard was too vast and impossible.The pinnacle of the Golden Stage against the late to post-mid Divine Unity stage. It was as difficult as it seemed."Don't overthink it."Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.Remus turned his head to look, only to realize that Wilda had appeared by his side at some point. She was still the same, wearing a long veil, her face veiled.He smiled, "When did you arrive?"Seeing his smile, Wilda felt a pang in her heart. She hadn't come for so long because she didn't know how to confront him, as she couldn't help but feel ashamed for not being able to help him.But since his death was imminent tomorrow, she knew she had to come to see him a
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
