Footsteps could be heard.Garth paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.Philbert and Serg were still sitting down, but they felt uneasy.As individuals at the pinnacle of global power, they rarely encountered moments like this. However, today's events were truly monumental, as they were facing Dragon Protector Clan's number one major threat.Besides, it also concerned Eva's safety, so no one could stay calm.Garth suddenly stopped in his tracks.Seeing him stop, Philbert and Serg froze as well. They watched him with anticipation, hoping he would say something, as the current atmosphere was extremely tense."Alas…" Garth let out a breath and then continued pacing. He felt extremely anxious. From what Dillon had said, it should have been an easy task to kill Remus, so why hadn't there been any news yet?Then, there was a beeping noise.Garth's communication device suddenly started making noise.He was momentarily stunned and quickly took out his communi
Serg was stunned, and he was unsure of what to say.Garth was boiling with rage as he struggled to find a way to release it. He quickly stepped forward and delivered a heavy slap. "I thought you were capable, so I've usually tolerated you, but it turns out you're just all show and no action. If it weren't for your secret actions, Eva wouldn't have died in vain. It's all your fault!"That was right, in his mind, Eva must be dead; otherwise, how could Remus be using her communicator?Serg was so scared that his legs gave out, and he collapsed on the ground. He often blustered and bragged, but seeing Garth truly angry terrified him.Garth was growing increasingly angry and was about to step forward again.Philbert hurriedly intervened with sweat beading on his forehead. "Sir Garth, the most pressing issue was not about Mr. Schneider but rather two things. First, is Ms. Eva still alive? Second of all…"He paused, feeling a bit reluctant to speak, but he had to say it anyway. "Remus h
It rained and was windy all night.It was a night full of thrills as well.Remus finally realized that even ordinary days could be so peaceful. Although there was pain, there was also joy!"Ah..."Remus was startled awake by a sharp cry. As he suddenly sat up, a wave of intense pain swept through his body, making him grimace.Who could imagine that a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Separation Stage, which was the Martial Imperial Realm, would be so tired out?Before he could get out of bed, he heard a scream coming from downstairs."Ana, why are you back again? Why are you at Imperial Villa?" The voice belonged to Kylie.Remus was taken aback. Ana? Surely it must be Eva!He suddenly remembered that after coming back last night, he was held down on the bed by Jean and Husan, and forgot to call Anthony to have him bring Eva away.So Eva was still here?Remus had a bad feeling. Although Eva may seem delicate, she was truly a warrior. The way warriors recover was entirely d
"The villa has no rooms left; no more outsiders can be accommodated!""I don't agree with her staying!"The three women spoke with stern expressions as if they'd planned it together.Remus, without any hesitation or concern, said bluntly, "You should leave; you're not welcome here."Since he had no feelings for her, he naturally wouldn't keep her around. If he hadn't forgotten last night, he would have had Anthony take her away then.Eva, who usually acted so capricious and willful, lowered her head and fidgeted with her hands. Surprisingly, she started to cry."Crying won't help. I'm a cold-hearted person, and you should have realized that last night. Not only do I feel nothing for women, but I also won't hesitate to hit you."So, before I make a move again, get lost quickly!" Remus said coldly.If it were before, he might have felt some pity for her. But after battling for over ten hours straight, he had now entered a state of indifference. He truly didn't feel anything anymo
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his body suddenly lift off the ground and then crash heavily back down, almost causing him to cry out in pain. When he managed to gather himself and look forward, he saw Ruby standing tall and looking at him with a smug expression on her face.Sure enough, Ruby shook its body and threw Remus off forcefully!Remus felt a surge of anger. Back then, it was just a nobody, and it was because of him that it became successful. Now that they had gotten close, it was throwing tantrums at him!He was just about to start scolding when he heard the footsteps of the three women. They were approaching from the mountain and chasing down with fierce determination.Remus was so shocked that every hair on his body stood on end. He had no choice but to swallow his pride under the circumstances.He said, "You are human, you are a woman. Did I say something wrong? Hurry and get me out of here, they are going to skin me alive! Hurry!"Ruby glanced at Jean and t
"Tanjen Organization has always supplied the sacred lands with pills. However, ever since you defeated the Saint Expert from Shenington, not only Shenington's Saint Master has not shown up, but even the other three sacred lands' Saint Masters haven't sent anyone to collect the pills."Based on past practice, they should have arrived three days ago. I'm wondering if there might be some issue with it?"Actually, Henry had wanted to reach out to Remus about this matter three days ago. However, considering the barrier over Tanjen Organization, he thought it would be overly cautious to contact him just because of this, so he didn't mention it.Remus stopped walking.The reason Tanjen Organization supplied pills to the sacred lands was because of a pact made when they destroyed the Herbal Pavilion.Of course, it was quite normal that Shenington's Saint Master hadn't come. Right now, the main figure left at Shenington was Kylian, and Kylian was currently in seclusion for meditation and c
Nowadays, Monington's Saint Master was also meditating in seclusion.All matters, big or small, in Monington were decided by Grandmaster Aurelius "Goldheart" Cymbal. His intentions were straightforward: Remus once declared that he wanted to destroy the sacred lands. Now, Shenington had been destroyed and Grandmaster Burke had been killed.Next was either himself or Grandmaster Carlex Nova.Therefore, he couldn't give Remus even the slightest chance.What if a disciple went out to get the pills and got captured, and then they were asked to pay a ransom to rescue them?Going there could be life-threatening.If they didn't go, their reputation would be affected.So now all that was needed was to wait for either the Saint Master Shenington or Ryunington to find Remus and eliminate him, ensuring there was no threat to their own lives.Grandmaster Aurelius "Goldheart" Cymbal let the person leave, pondered for a moment, and quickly headed to the bamboo grove at the back. The small cou
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left!Wilda's expression darkened. After a moment of contemplation, her spiritual energy suddenly burst forth. The bamboo leaves on the ground rose again and started swirling in the air.Immediately after, it transformed into thousands of arrows, swiftly charging toward Grandmaster Aurelius "Goldheart" Cymbal.Grandmaster Aurelius "Goldheart" Cymbal sensed something unusual and quickly turned around. He was startled by the scene behind him but reacted swiftly, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy in an instant.With a loud bang, the bamboo leaves at the front burst open.However, there were just too many bamboo leaves.Grandmaster Aurelius "Goldheart" Cymbal was forced to retreat continuously under attack, struggling to defend himself. Furious, he shouted, "Wilda, do you even know what you're doing? You're disrespecting your superior!"Wilda didn't respond at all. With another wave of her hand, millions of leaves flew out, so fa
When Kaiser heard this, he involuntarily trembled, not out of fear but because he was infuriated. It was clear from Wayne's tone that there was a strong sense of disdain, even outright contempt!The ten women also looked angry. The 1.4 billion citizens were silently clenching their fists. The previous grievances hadn't been avenged, and now they were showing off their power again. Did Wayne think he could treat the Mortal Realm however he wanted?Though Kaiser was upset, he couldn't express it. As the president, any impulsive decision would have to be borne by all the citizens, so it was crucial to proceed with caution.He replied, "Mr. Morrow, you should know that forcing something doesn't yield good results. If you try to force the outcome that the Upper Realms desire, it may backfire. Instead, consider easing up a bit, and you might achieve a different, perhaps better, outcome."If they couldn't fight back, they could only try to reach a compromise.However, what no one expecte
"The emperor attacked from the outside, while Candace's attack came from within!"Remus paused once again. This time, he stayed silent for about 10 minutes before looking up at the sky with excitement and exclaiming, "I understand now!"The true sequence of events was like this: Candace did intend to kill me, and I was indeed on the verge of disappearing, but the Pathic Energies' protection prevented me from vanishing.""The truth is exactly what I initially thought. If I compare it to humans, my specter has been severed from my body but hasn't left it. It's more like my specter has been forcibly sealed within my body! That's it!"Although the conclusion reached was the same as initially, the evidence used to support it was completely different. It could be said that he had guessed correctly initially, but now it was confirmed as true!"If in the Mortal Realm, one can be revived if their specter merges with their body. So, right now, I should be able to wake up once I merge with m
All along, Remus had been too focused on himself in these scenes, thinking they were memories.But if that were the case, the moments like Tyson carrying him up the mountain or being disciplined shouldn't have appeared at all, since he was too young to remember them. This resulted in a disjointed feeling between the first two sections and the ones that followed.But when he removed himself from the equation and looked at everything from a third-person perspective, he was surprised by a fact.The scenes he was seeing were all the ones that had influenced his path. Or rather, they were all significant milestones in his life!If Tyson hadn't carried him up the mountain, he wouldn't have had the chance to grow up. He would have just been an ordinary person if Tyson hadn't taught him the Nine Mystical Spells.If he hadn't gone to the prison to hand in the marriage contracts, he would have lived freely. And he wouldn't have been able to get out of prison were it not for Kylie calling of
With a calm and composed demeanor, Kaiser said, "Before I agree to your terms, I represent Darsia in setting forth three conditions. If..."Wayne interrupted immediately, "Do you or Darsia have the authority to negotiate with us? I'm giving you only two choices—agree or disagree!"…At the same time, Remus was still in the forest, or to be more precise, the scene he could see with his eyes was still of the forest. To put it even more precisely, it was the same view he had seen before, repeating over and over again."I can't change it. There's nothing I can do. I'm really stuck here. Whether this place is the so-called Limbo or not, to me, it truly is Limbo."Remus kept repeating the words over and over in a monotone, completely devoid of emotion. He had lost count of how many times it'd been repeated.Tyson's voice rang out again. "You're a child with a tough life as you lost your parents right after you were born. But at the same time, you're also a lucky child."Your father st
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
