It was a reasonable excuse. Who in the Dragon Protector Clan didn't know that Cheryl and Garth didn't get along? The two of them hadn't seen each other in decades!The most crucial point was that Cheryl and Rafael did have a romantic relationship before, so it was understandable when Garth said she didn't want to go against Remus.Logan suddenly burst into loud laughter. As he gradually stopped, he said, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're the clan leader?"Cheryl is indeed extraordinarily powerful, but when it comes to matters of life and death for the clan, her willingness doesn't matter. She must appear!"Raul also said with an insincere smile, "I think what Sir Logan said makes sense. We're facing a life-or-death situation, so how could she possibly be concerned with personal feelings?"Moreover, as the clan leader and her father, if you strongly insist, how could she dare to disobey?"The clan members were now even more bewildered. What was wrong w
Gritting his teeth, Garth said, "The Dragon Protector Clan is of utmost importance, and the Walter family is secondary."Since she is no longer a member of the Dragon Protector Clan, she is also no longer a part of the Walter family. Therefore, it is unacceptable for her to help as an outsider! If she helps me, may I be struck by lightning!"Logan and Raul both gasped in shock. They exchanged a glance and saw the concern in each other's eyes. The reason they said those things just now was to force Cheryl to come out of hiding.But they never expected that she wouldn't come out, and Garth actually had the guts to expel her from the family.Even though it was just a single sentence, he had said it in front of so many people. If Garth went back on his word, his reputation would collapse instantly.But looking at it this way, it seemed acceptable.Both of them nodded and ordered at the same time, "Attack!"But before the guards they brought over could take action, Remus suddenly spo
When Remus finished speaking, the dots connected in the clan members' minds. Some things were just like a thin veil, where all it took was one poke to pierce through it.With Remus' explanation, they instantly understood everything. No wonder Logan and Raul were repeatedly asking for Cheryl and even forced Garth to expel her.Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward the three leaders, their eyes filled with astonishment.After all, just moments ago, hundreds of disciples had died and hundreds more were injured, and they themselves had been abandoned. Even though they didn't want to believe it, the truth was right in front of them."That’s complete nonsense!" Raul reacted quickly and immediately refuted.He had no choice but to do so because if the accusation stuck, it would cause disunity within the family. If conflict arose within the people, how could he continue to be their leader?"We just got here, you brat! Stop spouting nonsense and trying to stir up trouble!"Logan
Garth suddenly leaped into the air, looked down at all the disciples, and said heavily, "I know the truth is harsh, but you have the right to know!"If we had let our experts take action from the beginning, what if they got injured? And what if the Rose family took advantage of the situation?"For the clan's sake and the safety of more people, you must be sacrificed first. Even though there will be casualties, this is the best choice to preserve our strength."All the disciples remained silent. They felt uneasy, but they had accepted their fate as pawns. In battles between top experts, a single move could determine the outcome.Their role was to wear down Remus so that when he was no longer at his peak condition, the clan's experts could strike quickly to secure victory. It was cruel but realistic!Garth added, "As for Cheryl, it was also a decision we made after a discussion."She hasn't gotten along with me or followed my orders for many years. Even in this life-and-death situa
Remus needed to change his tactic! He didn't pause and continued to ascend straight into the clouds.The four guards stronger than the rest were closely pursuing below him. The rest, who were at the Supreme Martial Imperial Stage, were slightly behind, but they weren't giving up and continued to chase after him, too.Remus' mind was racing as he wondered what he should do.The truth was that he could reveal his true abilities now. If he went all out, it would be very easy to deal with these warriors below.One shouldn't be fooled by thinking that there was only a small difference between the Martial Divinity Stage and the Half-Step Stage.This small gap had been impossible for warriors worldwide to bridge for centuries—at least, that was how it appeared on the surface.However, Remus had a feeling that there were still some things he hadn't grasped. In other words, it seemed like the Dragon Protector Clan still had some cards up their sleeve.If he revealed his own strengths, it
It seemed as though someone was secretly assisting Remus, but as soon as the guards looked over, that person suddenly vanished!The leader said, "The clouds are obstructing our view, making it difficult to see clearly. Our top priority is to disperse the clouds in front of us.""That's right," another elite quickly responded. "At the very least, we need to identify who is attacking us from behind. Otherwise, we'll only be attacked from the back."The last elite commanded, "Disperse the clouds!"They didn't disperse the clouds before because they thought it was unimportant, but now the situation had changed significantly.After they reached this consensus, their fighting spirit rushed out as they prepared to disperse the vast clouds floating in the sky.Almost at the same time, a figure suddenly appeared behind one of the elites. Before anyone could react, the figure threw a punch at the elite. Since they were all stationary, the elite quickly responded and blocked the attack inst
No one could have ever imagined such a scene.Over thousands of years, in the absence of Martial Divinity individuals, those who were at the Half-Step stage were already considered the pinnacle of human achievement. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such a person a living legend.But today, how could they accept this as one living legend after another died, knowing that all these deaths were caused by one person? This was unbelievable!The elite's body fell hard onto the square, but it hit everyone's hearts even harder, causing them all to tremble uncontrollably."They're dead… three people at the Half-Step Martial Divinity Stage are dead!""Impossible! How did this happen?""What should we do?"The Dragon Protector Clan's disciples started speaking one after another. They all collectively turn their gaze toward the three family leaders in front of them.At this moment, the three leaders were trembling slightly and staring in disbelief. The reason was simple—Remus' strengt
From within the clouds came a sudden voice. "Are you truly willing to greet me with smiles?"Hearing this, all of the clan members widened their eyes, their hearts about to leap out of their chests. There really was someone in the clouds! Remus wasn't the one responsible for the deaths, after all!The fact that they were willing to meet the clan was a good start. If the clan could provide them with enough benefits, they might even become friends!Some people began to look at Remus with mocking eyes. He had just boldly claimed there was no one else, which was utterly ridiculous.As long as that person came out, there would be a chance for things to smooth over. If they didn't help Remus, he would have no choice but to beg for mercy!Garth, Logan, and Raul exchanged glances. At the same time, they said with a smile, "Of course. The Dragon Protector Clan is known for its hospitality, so we'll naturally greet you with a friendly smile!"The others also tried their best to muster a sm
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
