The sky began to lighten with the first hints of dawn.Remus was still lying awake in bed, showing no signs of tiredness. Instead, he looked completely refreshed.Eva also didn't sleep at all, curling up against his chest. She looked tired, but her face was much rosier.She suddenly said, "Please help Ana. I… I feel sorry for her."Hearing this, Remus immediately tensed up and slowly looked at her, showing a look of disbelief. Did Ana ask her to persuade him?Eva didn't dare to look at Remus and said guiltily, "Ana and I have been competing since we were little. I've always felt it was unfair that she came into this world before me and that I have to call her my older sister."But Garth's actions showed me that it's truly wonderful to have someone who completely devotes themselves to you in this world."Even though I've been mean to her since childhood, she never got angry or blamed me. Instead, she always considered my feelings in every situation."All these years, I've never
Upon hearing Kaiser asking about the Island of the Monarch, Lincoln suddenly fell silent.He always knew Remus had a significant influence among Darsia's people, but he never imagined it was this extensive. Despite the strict media blackout during this period, the news still got out.Almost every city had designated memorial sites, where people were constantly coming to lay flowers. There had even been a few incidents where individuals tried to follow Remus in death.And these were all happening even before Remus' death was confirmed. If Remus were confirmed to be dead, the consequences would be unimaginable. It might turn the entire country upside down!Kaiser saw that Lincoln wasn't speaking and let out a long sigh. To be honest, he was already leaning toward the idea that Remus was likely dead, especially since it had already been 17 days since the incident.Between those days was the Reunion Festival, which Darsia's people valued highly. If he wasn't dead, he would surely come
In the end, never mind three days, they only managed to hold on for three hours!Lincoln forced himself to stay standing, knowing he couldn't fall ill at a time like this. After all, if the Rose family merged with these smaller families, their next target would be Darsia!He hung up the phone and was about to report the situation to Kaiser, but his heart sank again when he saw the scene. Kaiser was gripping his phone tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to crush it.He had never acted like this before, but Lincoln still needed to report the situation as it was too important.He walked up to the desk and said in a low voice, "Those small families have already surrendered."Kaiser glanced at him and put his phone on speaker mode."Currently, the entire world is under the Rose family's control. Right now, Darsia is the only outlier. Mr. Geer, to quote a famous saying from Darsia, 'If he be not ouor kin, he is sure to have a different mind!'"So, Darsia only has two choices—swea
The main reason Kaiser hadn't gone to the Island of the Monarch yet was due to two factors.On one hand, leaving Darsia meant leaving his sphere of influence, which would be risky.On the other hand, if Remus were still alive, he would eventually return to Darsia, so there was no need to investigate.But now, there was no choice but to go!The Rose family had made it clear that they intended to target them and make an issue out of Remus.Therefore, it was crucial to locate him. Even if he was already dead, he remained a figure of belief in the people's hearts and could still invoke strong emotions.Soon, Darsia assembled a special team of 30 people from the Dragon Team, the military department, and the defense squad. On average, their combined strength was at the Martial Imperial Stage.Miranda and Gabriela insisted on leading the team, but both were declined because Darsia could no longer handle the loss of key members. In the end, Iris, the Dragon Team's deputy leader, took ch
"Be careful, they probably have bad intentions!" Iris spoke seriously.Hearing this, all the task force members were momentarily taken aback.But then, they quickly adopted a defensive stance and eyed the three people cautiously.As the three got closer, Iris greeted them with a respectful gesture and said, "I am the deputy leader of Darsia's Dragon Team. It's an honor to meet all of you."She wasn't sure if they were enemies, so it was better to introduce themselves first to avoid unnecessary risks.The three people continued walking toward them on the air, looking down at the massive ship.The foreigner in a suit sneered. "So, it's really you guys. It seems he's quite the strategist. Are you heading to the Island of the Monarch to look for Remus?"Iris noticed from their tone that they were not friendly and frowned slightly but still replied honestly, "Yes. Do you have any advice?"The fact that they were going to the Island of the Monarch couldn't be kept a secret, so she had
Iris was sent flying several dozen yards before she barely managed to stop herself, feeling a burning pain on her face. She wanted to charge at him again but knew she was no match for him.She turned to look at the nearby task force, and what she saw sent a chill down her spine.It had only been a few seconds, but members of the group that had the two attackers surrounded were starting to fall out of the air. Bodies floated on the sea, staining the water bright red.They were no match for the priest and the man in black, who were at least Supreme Martial Imperials, and very experienced ones at that. Meanwhile, members of the task force had only just advanced to the Martial Imperial Stage.At this rate, the whole task force would be doomed in just a few minutes!"Everyone, listen up! Breakthrough and disperse!" Iris ordered loudly, realizing there was no other option.The task assigned by Kaiser was to go to the Island of the Monarch for an inspection, and it had to be completed,
In reality, whether Remus was dead or alive didn't matter to Jelun anymore. Even if Remus was alive, he was possessed by a demon. A possessed body would have no feelings for Darsia and definitely wouldn't offer any help.Everything they were doing now was to tell Darsia that if they didn't surrender, there was only one path left—death!Hearing Jelun's command, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Caden's face.In the past, his family had too many outstanding talents, especially the world's top martial artist, Thomas Rose, who was in control. It left Caden with no opportunities to stand out. But this time, it was his chance!He hung up the phone, looked down at the drifting ship, and saw Iris, who was unconscious on the deck.He smiled coldly and suddenly struck the ship with full force. The middle part of the ship began to bend while both ends lifted up, making the ten-thousand-ton vessel look like a bent branch.Within just a few seconds, the deformed ship could no longer float and
At that thought, Remus' gaze turned contemplative, as if he was once again under Monington's pond. When Raxor told him that it wouldn't harm him, he truly believed it!After all, Raxor knew Remus' mother and even said she was its lifesaver. Later, it even helped Remus reach the Martial Divinity Stage with light speed. It even emphasized that it wouldn't harm Remus the second time he went there.Remus always believed in putting oneself in another's shoes. He felt that his genuine responses to Raxor should be met with honesty in return.But now, it seemed that it might not be the case. Otherwise, why was this severe pain not fading?This was completely different from what happened in Ryunington. In Ryunington, it was just a temporary loss of consciousness, and once he came to his senses, there were no aftereffects.But this time, not only did his body hurt, but Raxor was even unwilling to leave his body during the fight.If Eva hadn't been there back then, Raxor probably would have
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
