Soon, people started arriving at the Malin family home. None were prominent figures in Darsia or had made significant contributions."Senior Baker, what's going on?""Why did you call us here so urgently? What's the matter?""Why come to the Malin family instead of going to the Baker family?"People asked one after another.The Malin family had not informed these guests of the recent changes. The guests were surprised to be summoned here instead of the Baker family residence.Seeing these people, Senior Baker said solemnly, "Goetz... has passed away!"Everyone trembled at the news. They all referred to Goetz with respect due to his seniority."How... Did he pass away so suddenly?""Goetz founded the Dragon Team. For Darsia's sake, we will establish a mourning committee and ensure his departure is honored," they declared one by one. "We will definitely ensure that Goetz's departure is grand!"After expressing their commitment, they turned to the Malin family members to discuss
The Malin family members remained silent. Their eyes were filled with hope.Senior Baker nodded and addressed Marten, "The current issue is not about how to handle Goetz's affairs but about Remus arriving and currently in the room."Marten trembled visibly at this news. His face flushed, then paled. He had thought Miranda hadn't returned to the Dragon Group. He assumed Remus would be with her at the Cosby family, enjoying their time together. He hadn't expected Remus to arrive so soon.Senior Baker continued without giving him much time to think, "Leader Long, you are a rising star and the inheritor of Goetz's legacy. You must protect the Malin family!"Everyone looked at Marten simultaneously.Feeling the weight of their gazes, Marten sighed. "I can try to protect them. But consider this. If Remus insists on taking action, my status and abilities might not be enough to stop him."Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.As the leader of the Darsia Dragon Group, the helm o
The crowd was shocked. The entire scene fell silent. What they had initially thought was merely an investigation to clear Remus of any wrongdoing revealed a startling truth! Remus was truly a formidable figure.At that moment, the door directly in front suddenly swung open, and the unexpected sound made everyone shiver. They turned to see a person stepping out from inside, and upon seeing the face clearly, their expressions turned to horror."Go... Goetz?"Lincoln was the first to react. He widened his eyes in disbelief."Goetz, are... Are you a ghost?"Senior Baker followed up immediately.Meanwhile, Marten secretly released his energy, preparing for battle. He had clearly left, so how could he be back again?"Senior Baker, of course, I'm human!""Senior Baker, of course, I'm human!" Goetz responded with a smile. "Mr. McCoy, Marten, and everyone, you're all here? Thank you!"Before anyone could respond, Remus's figure also appeared at the door.Seeing him, everyone instinc
"Gemma is Gemma. I won't show mercy if that woman dares to provoke me again. It's perfect; I'll use her life to compensate for Goetz's loss."Remus lowered his head and smiled. "You're the one who understands me the best; you're smarter than anyone else.""Chirp!"Upon hearing the praise, Ruby's head visibly lifted higher, and its wings flapped more vigorously. It was proud.Remus chuckled at its reaction. He had just casually spoken, yet it was responding so intensely.He said, "Your feathers are even brighter than before. It's gorgeous!"Ruby shook its body at the compliment, and its long tail feathers almost spread apart.Remus expressed surprise, "Oh, you're already in the late Nascent Soul Stage? Your cultivation has progressed so quickly!"Ruby immediately increased its speed, seemingly showcasing its strength at the late Nascent Soul Stage.Remus remarked, "Your flight is so stable, elegant, truly worthy of you!"Ruby responded loudly as if to say, "You flatter me."I
The voice was deafening. It echoed incessantly above Tanjen Organization.Whoosh!Upon hearing this, the people in the Tanjen Organization square turned their heads to look into the distance, where a dense crowd was flying through the air.A figure dressed in a black robe led the way. Their body was entirely shrouded in the garment, with only its mesmerizing eyes visible. It was difficult to discern their gender.Walking beside them was the same arrogant cultivator who had just shouted loudly, Aether!"Aether?"Henrik recognized Aether at a glance. He couldn't help but blurt out as his face drastically changed."Hahaha!"Aether laughed arrogantly as he walked. He said, "Back then, the brat Calsberg said he'd give me ten days to bring the lord of Husan Island here. And now, here I am as he wished!""The person by my side is none other than the lord of Husan Island, hailed as the fifth sacred land, Husan!""And behind us are the cultivators of Husan Island!""Where's Remus? Te
"You bunch of ignorant ants, how dare you bark at me recklessly! Do you want to die?"His words were heavy with spiritual energy, carrying a powerful momentum. As soon as he spoke, a violent wind swept through the area.The disciples on the square staggered. Over a thousand were pushed back several steps. Some of the weaker ones fell to the ground.But the next moment...Yet, they rallied quickly. Fearless, they advanced even further than before. Spiritual energy radiated from each of them.Together, they roared. "Forever loyal to Master Calsberg, we are willing to go through and even die without hesitation for him! You, get down here!"The scene shocked Husan and the people from Husan Island. These disciples had only Foundation stage cultivation, some even less. Aether could annihilate them alone, yet they were ready to face nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Stage. It was inconceivable!"Do you really want to die?" Aether fumed. He had planned a swift, decisive strike against R
Husan furrowed her brows deeply and glanced sharply below. She then asked Aether, "Are you hiding something from me?"It wasn't just her who looked over. Everyone from Ironpeak Island also turned their gaze toward Aether.Feeling the intensity of their scrutiny, Aether's heart sank. Indeed, he had hidden something. When he had gone to fetch Husan, he hadn't told her the truth about his master entrusting the Spirit Vessel to Wind Hunter. Instead, he falsely claimed that Remus had taken the Spirit Vessel after killing someone...He felt that she couldn't possibly know.Shaking his head, he replied, "Lord Husan, why would I hide anything from you?"He hadn't disclosed the truth earlier and couldn't risk it now. He didn't want it to backfire"Very well!"Husan responded without hesitation, "Based on your description, Remus is a villain who commits every imaginable evil and bullies others. He destroys families without hesitation. Then explain to me, why does he have so many followe
The people of Ironpeak Island were taken aback. They wondered why Egbert would say such things."Sir Egbert..."Henry called out immediately. Just moments ago, they were puzzled by his arrival, and now they were shocked to hear him slander their Master Calsberg.Egbert's methods were also very straightforward. With a leakage of spiritual energy, he slapped Henry away.Continuing calmly, he asked, "Lord Husan, do you know why these disciples fearlessly pledge their lives to protect Remus?"“Why?” Aether asked eagerly."Because they all think it's fake!"Egbert blurted out, standing with his hands behind his back and laughing. "It's quite a coincidence. Today is the assessment day for the disciples entering the Tanjen Organization. The first test of the assessment is a loyalty test to that dog thief, Calsberg.""These folks thought the Tanjen Organization arranged for you to test them, so everything they did was just to pass the test!"As soon as these words were spoken, Husan w
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
