"Mr. Cosby!" Even though they were laughing within, they all wore enthusiastic smiles on the surface, as if having Remus over was a great blessing.Remus remained silent. His expression was serious, and he didn't respond at all."Over here." Aurelius maintained his humble demeanor and gestured toward the main seat. "Mr. Cosby, please take this seat. Wilda and Glinda, you two can sit on either side of Mr. Cosby."Wilda and Glinda were both taken aback for a moment. Typically, it should be Aurelius sitting in the main seat, not due to abilities or conflicts, but simply because this was Monington.Even though they were all cultivators, they still valued the practical preparations of everyday life.Without giving them much time to think, Remus had already stepped toward the main seat. Such a trivial matter wasn't worth the effort to decline and waste time. In other words, if he acted too modestly, these snobbish people might not know how to handle it.Seeing Remus' actions, everyone
When Remus mentioned these two names, the atmosphere in the entire room felt like it had been doused with cold water. The smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze.Remus noticed the tense atmosphere and asked with a frown, "Did something happen to them?"Everyone avoided eye contact, not daring to meet his gaze.Wilda pondered for a moment and then said, "Sir Hudson has been punished with three years of confinement and is currently imprisoned in the ice prison. As for Ms. Elena…"As she spoke, she couldn't help but look toward Aurelius.She knew that Hudson was punished for letting Remus go, but she didn't know about Elena.The last time they met was when they returned from Boundless Island together. After that, she was confined to a cabin, and she didn't have the chance to think about Elena tonight when so many things had happened.Remus asked coldly, "Is Sir Hudson being punished because of me?"Wilda nodded, so Remus turned his head to look at Aurelius and asked, "Where is
Remus snapped back to reality and looked ahead. Perhaps for the sake of architectural uniformity, the place appeared to be just an ordinary loft.He glanced at Wilda out of the corner of his eye and saw that her expression was unchanged, which confirmed that this was indeed the ice prison.After a brief moment of thought, he cautiously asked, "There's a saying that you shouldn't have the intent to harm others, but it's necessary to be wary of others. If I enter the ice prison, you won't lock me in, will you?"As soon as these words were spoken, everyone jolted, especially Aurelius. He had indeed entertained such thoughts because he had no idea when Kylian might arrive.What if Remus left before Kylian got there? Locking Remus up in the ice prison was a great idea!But Aurelius immediately responded, "Certainly not, Mr. Cosby. We genuinely wish to reconcile with you. How could we possibly engage in such despicable acts?""That's right, Mr. Cosby. Why would we do such a thing?""W
This made no sense!Soon, only Remus and Hudson were left inside the ice prison.Remus' expression became serious as he directly asked, "Sir Hudson, both you and Ms. Elena helped me leave back then. You're locked up here, but do you know where Ms. Elena is?"Of course, he knew that Elena was imprisoned later. After all, she did go to Boundless Island. But the main point was that she was imprisoned, and the other details didn't matter.Hudson still wanted to ask what exactly was going on and why Remus could command Monington's people. But, upon hearing Remus' question, he could only suppress his curiosity.Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know. After I was put in the ice prison, Elena never showed up. She's not in the ice prison."Remus asked, "Besides the ice prison, are there any other places of confinement in Monington?"The real reason he wanted Aurelius and the others to leave was so that he could ask Hudson these questions.Hudson shook his head again. "No. Monington on
Remus suddenly froze in place, his entire body breaking out in goosebumps.He had only ever felt this kind of overwhelming pressure from one person before—Ryunington's Saint Master. Could it be that he had arrived?"Remus…" Wilda and Glinda were about to speak when they saw him come out. But both only managed to say a single word before they felt an overwhelming presence and immediately fell silent. They instinctively turned to look.The gleam in Aurelius' and others' eyes grew stronger as they also turned.The sky above Monington, surrounded by a formation, seemed to split open, and a figure slowly emerged from the opening.He wore a sky-blue robe with his long hair flowing, one hand behind his back, and a hint of anger on his face. He looked like an Immortal descending to the mortal world."It's Shenington's Saint Master, Kylian!" Hudson was the first to recognize the person and couldn't help but exclaim.Saint Masters of the Four Great Sacred Lands rarely appeared in other sa
Before Glinda could finish, Aurelius acted in a flash, sending a surge of spiritual energy straight to Glinda's face.Glinda couldn't handle the attack. She spun six or seven times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground."Glinda!" Seeing the situation, Remus tried to get up and rush over despite the intense pain. He was filled with deep regret. If he ever got another chance, he would ensure Aurelius died a painful death.But he had only taken two steps when Kylian suddenly spoke up."Enough!" Still standing mid-air, he looked down from above. "This isn't the place to kill you. Come with me!"Remus needed to be executed at Shenington. Only there, in front of all the deceased disciples, could he atone for his sins.He already raised his hand as he spoke. His spiritual energy leaked out, ready to capture Remus.Upon seeing the situation, Aurelius and his companions finally showed a relieved smile on their faces. With Remus dead, they no longer had to live in constant fear
No matter what, Remus must be dealt with that day. No one could stop them!The disciples, who were originally charging at Kylian, halted in confusion upon hearing Aurelius' words. They stared at Kylian, a stranger and seemingly about to attack their sacred land. Why was Aurelius stopping him?At that moment, Wilda had a sudden idea. She quickly shouted, "All disciples of Monington, listen up! An outsider has entered Monington with ill intentions toward us. We will defend our sacred land to the death!"Saying this was not to use the Monington disciples as human shields or to send them to their deaths but to get an advantage over the situation. How many people they could command at the moment would equal more power.As long as Monington's disciples were riled up and would support them, even Aurelius would not dare to act rashly or give orders lightly.Indeed, when the disciples heard Wilda's words, they shouted instinctively, "Defend Monington to the death!"Thousands of disciples
Kylian slowly shook his head, feeling his time was being wasted. If this were happening in Shenington, he would only need to say a single sentence to make the disciples leave.It was just a pity that there was no one left in Shenington.With that thought, Kylian no longer hesitated. He let his spiritual energy flow out again in an instant, once again reaching for Remus.Wilda had her gaze fixed on him, so she reacted swiftly and decisively, no longer concealing her presence. A sudden frost emerged around her as she clashed with Kylian's attack.At the same time, she shouted, "Hurry up! Run!"At this point, the only option was to make Remus run away.Remus didn't waste any time either, lifting Glinda and preparing to leave. He wasn't trying to abandon Wilda. This was Monington, so Wilda wouldn't be in danger here. If he stayed, it would only distract her."Stop right there!""Don't you dare run!""Where do you think you're going?"Before Kylian could make a move, Aurelius and
Their voices converged, resounding through the heavens and seemingly piercing through time itself. It left an expression of shock on the faces of the immortals above, who were wreaking havoc.Unfortunately, they wouldn't show any sympathy because of it. In fact, it made them act even more ruthlessly. Their energy became more intense, extending outward and seeming as if it was ready to completely unleash into the air.The winds, floods, and earthquakes became even worse than before. Someone was lifted into the air by the wind. Some were drowning in the flood as waves surged into the city. White spots had appeared on certain people's skins as they froze to death.But even in such circumstances, not a single person fled or pleaded. Instead, all 1.4 billion citizens displayed an extraordinary level of determination and fighting spirit beyond comprehension. Even in the face of death, they could not be shaken in the slightest.Wayne was furious at this scene, feeling as though someone ha
Wayne snapped, "What did you say?"Kaiser suddenly lifted his head and said confidently, "You're wrong. The Upper Realms have been wrong from the very beginning! You've forgotten why Darsia was founded, and you've forgotten that Darsia got to where it is today because of the blood that was shed!"Your greatest mistake is underestimating us. Even as insignificant beings, we still have grand ambitions!""Remus is not just our belief, but he is also the Eternal Pillar in our hearts. In the past, he bravely stood up against the Upper Realms to fight for humanity's rights. Even today, we are determined to follow the path he paved!"Upper Realms, Darsia does not agree to your terms!"After he finished speaking, he and the ten women sat cross-legged in mid-air. Below, the 1.4 billion citizens simultaneously mirrored their actions on the ground with a determined look in their eyes, ready to face death bravely."You... You're asking for it!"Wayne was furious, not expecting things to tur
Suddenly, Wayne's smile vanished. "The Mortal Realm deserves no more chances! Ever since Remus decided to stand against the Upper Realms and you all started to give him your devotion, you don't get a second chance!"That treacherous dog dared to aspire to be a Monarch of Mortals and oppose the Upper Realms. Such arrogance! As his accomplices, you all deserve to be punished and shouldn't expect to retain any power."Starting today, all conditions set by the Upper Realms must be met. Otherwise, the Mortal Realm will be thrown into chaos! People will struggle to survive, famine will spread, and the sun and moon will lose their light! Just do as we tell you to!"Everyone was stunned. Then, the people below all shouted in unison, "You're being too shameless!"Their voices rose higher and higher, shaking the earth.Their respect for Kaiser was because he was the president, but their devotion to Remus was complete and unwavering. Insulting Remus was seen as an attack on their beliefs and
"You're shameless!" Ana and Eva snapped, both furious. At that moment, it seemed like they finally understood the purpose of the Dragon Protector Clan's existence. Being powerless to fight back felt incredibly frustrating and suffocating."He's going too far!" Grant also couldn't help but curse when he saw the scene.After all, Kaiser was the president and represented Darsia's 1.4 billion citizens. How could he possibly be slapped repeatedly? Wayne was straight-up an insignificant being who was behaving irrationally now that he had newfound power!Paul sighed, feeling in his heart that it was really unfair. But what else could the Mortal Realm do but endure the mistreatment?Kaiser felt a burning sensation on his face. The physical pain wasn't a big concern for him as he had prepared himself for the worst, even death. But it wasn't just him who was affected by the slap. This slap was a humiliation to all of Darsia's citizens all at once.However, Kaiser had no means of fighting ba
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
