"Huh?""What is this?""Why does it look a bit strange?"The thousands of disciples from both sacred lands halted their actions and looked up, struck by an incredible scene that left them all astonished. The sheer scale of it was overwhelming."It's a formation… No, it's a barrier!"Sylvanus exclaimed in shock, "That scoundrel has set up another barrier outside Ryunington's barrier. He has trapped us here!""What?""He's set up another barrier to trap us?""No way!"Immediately, screams rang out in Ryunington. Although people didn't go out before and wouldn't go out in the future, they didn't seem to fully process what that meant.However, if they thought about it, they'd realize that they could leave whenever they wanted to before. Now that there was another barrier present, it was like being in prison. How could it be the same?"Good eye." Remus gave a faint smile as he stood outside the barrier, observing the people inside with a playful expression.In the beginning, he
"You're shameless!""Despicable scoundrel!""How vulgar!"The disciples, in their shame and anger, burst out cursing.Remus completely ignored their insults, knowing that no matter how harsh their words were, it was just the futile rage of helpless people.He was watching Adalyn and Xaden with an amused expression, wanting to see what tricks they could come up with next."Quiet!" Xaden shouted, causing the scene to fall silent immediately.Actually, he didn't have a solution in mind, but he knew very well that the most important task at hand was to reassure the disciples.He said seriously, "It's just a small barrier trapping us. Do you think it can cause us serious harm? Remember, there's always a way out as long as we stay calm!"Adalyn also reassured, "Being trapped doesn't affect us in the slightest. We've always been cultivating in our sacred lands. So, even with a barrier, we can still carry on with our training."Then, she looked at Remus. "But I'm curious to see how l
Soon.A few disciples used spiritual energy to trap the woman.They gathered around.The woman in the middle wore a white robe, and her hair was disheveled. Her face appeared thin and haggard. She looked weak and lacked energy.This woman was none other than Wilda."Wilda!"When Remus saw her, he couldn't control his emotions and called out to her instantly.Her eyes were filled with disbelief. Wilda's veiled face had previously been enchanting enough to captivate time itself. Her graceful figure could have easily overshadowed the fairies of the Upper Realms.It was all because of herself that she ended up this way.Wilda heard a sound and lifted her head weakly. Ever since she witnessed Remus falling into the lava, she had been haunted by nightmarish demons, believing it was her fault. Additionally, her meridians were damaged, preventing her from regaining her former glory.She saw Remus and her body trembled suddenly. She stuttered in disbelief, "R-Remus!"Her feelin
She suddenly found an unexpected strength and shouted, "If you don't run, I'll hate you forever!"An exploding sound could be heard.Remus seemed to have seen the past.Kylie and Miranda were initially found trapped in the Imperial Villa.Witnessing Seraphine being held hostage.Seeing Jean being forced to marry someone.Seeing Glinda trapped in a cell.He even saw Gabriela being confined at Sakurasom.He also remembered that night in Monington when Kylian was completely in control, and he was at his mercy."Ah!" Remus suddenly shouted out. His veins bulged, his muscles were well-defined, and his fighting spirit and spiritual energy surged through his body.Why was it always the people around him who got hurt?Why did they dare to keep threatening him over and over again?Strength.In this world, strength commands respect. Constantly backing down will only embolden his enemies. He needed to have power and the courage to use it. Only by making his enemies fear him to th
Remus quickly raised his hand and grabbed Adalyn by the neck.He questioned again, "I asked you, what can you do about it?"As Adalyn was strangled, she whimpered, her eyes wide open in extreme terror. She wanted to resist, but for some reason, she couldn't muster even a bit of spiritual energy throughout her body.No, it's not that she couldn't muster spiritual energy. It was that she simply couldn't find a way to summon it.It felt like she was being suppressed by Remus's blood vessels. This wasn't about strength or level anymore. It was just pure suppression, as if she naturally couldn't go against him."Who... exactly are you?"Xaden felt the pressure while standing nearby. It was a suppression from another dimension, even more unsettling than being in front of an Immortal in the Upper Realms.He waited for two seconds.It was obvious that Remus wasn't looking at him at all.He blurted out, "Run!"At a moment like this, it was better for his fellow disciple to die than
Xaden turned his head to look down, and when he saw Adalyn's body, his face immediately turned pale. Previously, he had only guessed at Remus' strength, but now he had seen it with his own eyes!He became even more desperate, resorting to using the blessings of the Upper Realms to attack the barrier. The sound of the impact was thunderous, but he still couldn't break through."M-Ms. Crawford!"She coughed up blood again and started to feel dizzy. With all her strength, she tried to crawl on the ground, but after barely moving a short distance, she collapsed from exhaustion. She could only stare helplessly at Adalyn's lifeless body before finally passing out.At this very moment, Remus stood in the middle of Ryunington, his entire body still a bright red, and every inch of his skin was the color of freshly spilled blood.He suddenly smiled.He lifted his head to gaze at the countless stars in the sky, and slowly raised his hand. In his hand, a long sword materialized, and th
He slowly raised his hands, gripping the hilt of the long sword with both hands, ready to thrust it down forcefully.At the same time, the woman seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes.Remus saw those dazzling eyes, and suddenly his whole body trembled. He blurted out, "Wilda!"This stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Wilda!"I..." Remus felt a lump in his throat as he realized what he had done. Did he actually almost kill Wilda just now?He suddenly panicked, feeling as if he didn't recognize himself. In a rush, he let go of his fighting spirit, but just as he did, everything went black before his eyes.He fell into the pool of blood, completely unconscious.Wilda's face remained expressionless, but tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She struggled to stand up again and glanced around. Seeing the bodies strewn everywhere and pools of blood, she couldn't stop trembling, feeling as though she were in a nightmare.Finally, stepping into the pool of blo
Remus opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.Upon seeing his surroundings, he was momentarily stunned, and then memories came flooding into his mind like a tidal wave."Wilda!" he blurted out and sprang up from the ground, completely forgetting about the pain.His eyes frantically scanned the surroundings, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any trace of Wilda."I didn't kill her, absolutely not!"Remus muttered something under his breath, took off into the air, and looked down from above. When he saw the entirety of Ryunington, he too felt a chill of fear.Even though he was already used to killing many people, the scene of slaughtering thousands of disciples at once, especially with their bodies lying right in front of him, was still hard for him to bear.However, there was no time to worry about that right now."No, no, no!"He searched one by one, but in the end, he still couldn't find any trace of Wilda."Adalyn isn't here either.""Was it Wilda who took Adalyn away?"
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
