Suddenly, a rumbling came from the forest, causing the entire mountain to tremble. Looking out, Remus could see in the distance that beasts were leaping out from the dense woods, rapidly approaching him.Remus turned around and finally let out a sigh of relief. It was good to see them.After waiting for them for about ten seconds, the beasts suddenly started crying out, sounding extremely terrified. It was as if the screams were coming from the depths of their souls.In the distance, the beats were no longer leaping out of the woods. Instead, a large area of trees had been flattened, revealing numerous beasts hesitating to move forward.Remus didn't wait any longer and swiftly took to the air. In just an instant, he appeared directly above the beasts."Who are… Mr. Remus?"One of the beasts below quickly began to question him, but before it could finish, it recognized Remus.Remus also saw who was talking. It was Bucky!At this moment, Bucky looked completely different from bef
Two nights ago? Remus slightly frowned, realizing that he had been in that space under the lava for at least two days.But where did Monington's people move to?Remus said again, "Think carefully. Do you remember any details?"Based on that, he could infer clues and traces.Bucky seemed to be trying hard to remember, but then it shook its head. "No, the sacred land belongs to a different realm that we can't enter. By the time we noticed the barrier had disappeared, we only saw them leaving and heading north."Since there is a natural gap between us and the sacred land, we couldn't communicate with them, so this is all I know."Headed north? Remus instinctively looked toward the north upon hearing this.Although Darsia was vast, Monington was already situated very far north. Any further north and one would be outside Darsia's borders.Additionally, having just observed that direction from the air, there were no anomalies within the range of Remus' perception.He was growing anx
"It's already great that you were able to bring us this far. It's really not your problem. This has nothing to do with you.""Lord, you mustn't cry. It breaks my heart to see you in tears…""Enough!" Remus suddenly shouted.Suddenly, the mountain became quiet. All the beasts turned their attention to Remus.Remus stared at Bucky and said, "What you're saying is like calling the kettle black. You are their lord, yet you're heartbroken because you couldn't save them."But I'm your master. If I can't save you and don't even shed a tear, wouldn't that be too heartless? Wouldn't that make me worse than a beast like you?"Bucky trembled all over and said nervously, "Mr. Remus, I didn't…"He was interrupted when Remus raised his hand. "You just mentioned that I have an energy that suppresses your kind, right?"Bucky nodded absently, as well as all the other beasts.Remus didn't hesitate and let his spiritual energy burst out.Of course, his spiritual energy hadn't fully recovered, a
The shout echoed through the forest continuously, with sound waves rippling in layers. Amid these waves, Remus slowly ascended and floated away.The group of beasts led by Bucky remained lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. After an unknown period, cries could be heard again from amongst the beasts.It started off very quietly and then gradually got louder and louder. The beasts were wailing once more. However, this time the crying was completely different from before.Previously, it was a cry of despair about the future, feeling lost and hopeless. Now, it was a cry of hope. They saw brightness ahead, feeling touched and happy."Alright!" Bucky suddenly spoke again. It regained a feminine voice, which, although choked with emotion, was exceptionally resolute."Now, the massive stone that weighed heavily on our beast hearts has been lifted, and the dark barriers that blocked our future path have been cleared. But you must all remember who it was that saved us!"A
"So…" Remus' eyes suddenly lit up. "I can ask around at another sacred land!"If he couldn't get any information from Miranda's Dragon Team, he might be able to get it from another sacred land. After all, the four great sacred lands supported each other. They might be competitors, but they were also friends.If there was anyone who might know where Monington moved to, it would be the other sacred lands.“Ryunington… no, the risk is too high. I can't take any chances until I find Wilda and Glinda. Shenington has already been destroyed, so going there would be pointless. So, only Kenington remains!"Remus let out a sigh of relief, his eyes regaining their brightness. Another advantage of going to Kenington was that Seraphine was still there!As soon as he made up his mind, Remus quickly expanded his perception and called upon Ruby. After all, the journey to Kenington would be long and exhausting, and he also wanted to know how Ruby was doing.About 15 minutes later, Ruby's figure a
At the same time, a large bonfire was blazing with flames reaching high into the sky in Kenington's main square.Around the bonfire sat hundreds of Kenington's disciples, singing and dancing. In front of them were tables with food on them.Such a scene was shocking to the world of cultivation. After all, cultivators lived by absorbing spiritual energy, constantly working day and night, seizing every moment, all for the ultimate goal of achieving immortality.Even though some disciples might eat food, it was only to satisfy a temporary craving. They never ate too much, let alone hold large banquets.At this moment, not only were they having a communal meal, but they were also singing and dancing, which was quite unbecoming of a cultivator's demeanor.Even more shocking was that this was already the second night!At this moment, Carlex was sitting at the front of the main hall with a flushed face. He was sitting cross-legged, his eyes alternately closing and opening, holding a wine
They could take out all their grievances by going to the Mortal Realm and torturing Remus' family. Of course, everyone wanted to be the first to go."None of you are suitable. I'll go instead!""I'll go!"The competition was getting fiercer as everyone got involved."Alright, alright." Carlex smiled warmly. "I understand how you all feel, but we shouldn't disrupt the overall harmony. If I choose one of you to go, it might upset the others. So, how about I lead the team this time?"Everyone was dumbfounded. It seemed like he already had it planned out for a while and was just teasing everyone."Mr. Nova, you…" someone started saying.But Carlex raised his hand to interrupt him, smiling as he said, "It's settled, then. I'm doing this for our sacred land's harmony. But don't worry, I will bring back all of Remus' family members and leave them for you to handle."Everyone looked at each other in silence. It seemed there was no way to argue against him.At that moment, a master sud
Dance? Upon hearing this word, all the disciples in the hall widened their eyes, and the grandmasters and masters quietly straightened up.Even though they had been singing and dancing these past two days, it was just to let off some steam. They were not really dancing in any proper sense.But Seraphine was different. She came from the Mortal Realm and was once a prestigious family's eldest daughter.She should be well-versed in various arts like playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Dancing, of course, would be no exception.Seraphine shuddered. Her sense of foreboding was growing stronger. She was a saintess, yet Carlex was making her dance in front of everyone to entertain them. This was no different from belittling her.She was only locked up before, but now they were going straight to humiliating her. Could something have happened to Remus?At this thought, Seraphine's heart was racing faster and faster, and she couldn't help but ask, "Grandmaster Ca
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
