After hearing the whole story, Remus felt blood rushing to his head. Yet, he wasn't dizzy from the shock but was experiencing a clarity he had never felt before. It was as if at that moment, he finally understood the whole situation.First, there was the Order of Nine Mysticisms which mastered all cultivation techniques. Then, the members of the Order of Nine Mysticisms emerged to enlighten the world.Over time, people's sense of identity with the Order of Nine Mysticisms diminished, and small cliques began to form, causing individuals to act independently.The most significant among these were the Monarch of Mortals, who was the mortals' peacekeeper, and various cultivators.In the beginning, these two parties were able to coexist peacefully and stay out of each other's affairs. However, the escalating conflict over many centuries finally evolved into what was now known as the Battle of the Three Realms.In the very beginning, there was a battle among all beings in the world—an u
However, Remus had seen Land Immortals before. Whether Adalyn or Xaden, they were both Land Immortals, and Remus found himself almost completely powerless against them.Even during the battle against Kylian, he only stood a chance because Kylian had been worn down by Wilda before. Otherwise, even Sky Splitter wouldn't have been able to cause any damage.Raxor scoffed. "There are no differences between Land Immortals and Celestial Immortals. It's just that there aren't enough positions available in the Upper Realms, so they made up a lie about Land Immortals needing to achieve another stage of ascension."But there is still a bit of a difference. A Land Immortal can only demonstrate their full prowess in their own sacred land, whereas a Celestial Immortal can do so anywhere. If they were to fight to the death, it's hard to say who would win."Of course, a newly promoted Celestial Immortal can't compete with an experienced one, let alone an officially recognized Celestial Immortal wh
It became completely silent. This cramped dark space felt completely isolated from the world. There were no sounds or drafts—only endless darkness.The truth was, Remus initially wouldn't say the words "my father" when it had nothing to do with Rafael. After all, he didn't trust Raxor as even a slight outburst from it could freeze him to death.But through the conversation, it was revealed that Raxor belonged to the Monarch of Mortals' faction and practiced martial arts.Rafael was also a martial artist, so they were considered to be on the same side, which was why Remus admitted to Rafael being his father.Remus didn't rush Raxor for an answer, either. He understood how shocking this news would be for a beast that had been sealed for thousands of years. It needed time to process everything.Time ticked by. Eventually, Remus waited for a full two hours.Unable to hold back any longer, Remus took the initiative and said, "My savior, are… are you still there?"An eerie wind seemin
"Is this… a dungeon?" Glinda looked around in confusion and quickly concluded that this place was a prison. It was similar to Monington's Ice Prison, but this place wasn't made of ice.She then stood up, but because she got up too fast, she stumbled and almost fell.When she stood up again, she grabbed the specially made bars with both hands and shouted desperately, "How is Remus? Is anyone there? What happened to Remus?"She didn't care about her own situation and just wanted to know how Remus was doing. Just before losing consciousness, she saw Remus falling into the lava and vanishing without a trace with her own eyes.Did he die, just like that? Glinda wouldn't believe it!"Is anyone there? Anyone!" she started screaming wildly again.The shouting seemed to have worked because she heard the sound of the door opening.Someone slowly walked in and, seeing Glinda, let out a disdainful laugh. "You really are a romantic. Even when you're on the brink of death yourself, you're sti
Wilda didn't care about herself at all! Right now, all she could think about was Remus. She didn't even know why, but she was eager to know about his condition.Erjon was taken aback and looked at the door in disbelief. For a practitioner, abilities were more important than life itself.Besides, she was only a step away from attaining immortality, but with her current abilities, even if she sacrificed her entire lifespan, she might never ascend anymore.So, why would she be asking about Remus instead of her own condition? Could it be she didn't hear him?Erjon gritted his teeth and emphasized, "Wilda, you've already fallen to the middle phase of the Divine Separation Stage. Didn't you hear me?"Indeed, Wilda didn't hear his words just now. Now, Wilda paused briefly, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.She quickly said, "I heard you. So, how is Remus doing now? He's okay, right? He's always been a tough one, surviving many close calls. He's sti
Fortunately, this pressure came on strong but also passed quickly.Raxor finally spoke, "How do you know the Nine Mystical Spell's incantations?"Remus secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like he was about to be crushed just now.He simply said, "I told you, I am the 29th generation's heir of the Order. Not only do I know the Nine Mystic Spells, but I also have mastered everything from the Order of Nine Mysticisms!"The sound of a slap suddenly broke the silence.Remus was hit so hard that one side of his face went numb. He was driven to the ground and slammed heavily into the wall.Raxor said coldly, "Don't test my patience. I'm asking you, how do you know the Nine Mystical Spell's incantations?"It didn't believe Remus at all.When the members of the Order came out, the place was already uninhabited. Later, during the Battle of the Three Realms, people gradually forgot about the Order.Basically, the Order of Nine Mysticisms was just a name without any substance. At
Remus' heart skipped a beat. He was already risking his life for speaking up, yet in the end, he was told to be left to his own fate.There was no way he was accepting that. He had to get out of here!So, Remus asked, "Why do you not believe he and I are family? I can also tell you that my father not only challenged the Underworld's emperor, but he also defeated numerous Celestial Immortals."As for my mother, she is an Immortal from the Upper Realms—Melody Lilibet!"As soon as Melody's name was spoken, it was as if the atmosphere became electrified.Unlike the previous freezing temperature and the pressure, it was as if streams of spatial rifts burst forth from the holes in the stone wall. It intertwined with the cramped space and transformed.After ten seconds, Raxor's voice rang out once more. "Did… Did you say your mother's name is Melody Lilibet?"His trembling voice was filled with horror and astonishment.Remus said loudly, "Yes, her name is Melody Lilibet. Years ago, wh
Remus hovered in the air, as the stone walls split open on either side. 100 feet to his left as well as the ceiling above was flowing lava. The crimson color had a strange kind of beauty to it.On his right was ice that was formed over millions of years through immense pressure. The azure ice exuded a visible chill that filled the air.Winds swirled at the point where the magma met the ice, achieving a strange balance. Not only that, but the temperature also reached a strange equilibrium.Remus forcefully diverted his gaze downward. This time, he noticed that the rock wall trapping him was shaped like an egg with a diameter of around ten feet. Looking further down, he saw only pitch blackness, akin to an endless abyss.Suddenly, a deafening burst of laughter came from below.Two dark green appeared in the abyss, glowing. Raxor's eyes were each nearly five feet wide, and the distance between both eyes was about 20 feet. If its eyes were already so big, how big would its head or bod
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
