Remus' mind buzzed. Just moments earlier, he was talking with Ana about how no one had come to this place, but in the blink of an eye, someone appeared on the shore. And to make things stranger, it was someone who looked like Iris.Sweat began to bead on his forehead, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Iris was the Dragon Team's deputy leader, and her immediate superior was Miranda. If Iris was here, where was Miranda?"She must be badly hurt!" Eva said anxiously. Because of Miranda, she had also met Iris before, which was why she yelled in surprise earlier.Remus didn't have time to think much and quickly picked up Iris. The most important thing now was to treat her, because only she could explain what had happened.Soon, Iris was placed on the bed.Remus stood beside her, treating her with one silver needle at a time. Although he couldn't summon much fighting spirit at the moment, his medical skills remained intact.As long as Iris wasn't dead, he was confident he could sav
When Iris saw Remus, she got so excited that she wanted to stand up. But because she was still too weak, she barely managed to get up before falling again."Calm down!" Remus quickly reassured. "You're too weak right now, so don't get too agitated. Just rest for now, and we'll talk once you've recovered."He was very anxious and worried that Iris might fall unconscious again.But Iris couldn't wait any longer and said urgently, "Mr. Cosby, the Rose family has already issued an ultimatum to Darsia…"She recounted everything that had happened when Remus was gone.After listening to her story, Remus clenched his fists tightly, his heart burning with torment. He never expected that his conflict with the Dragon Protector Clan would bring so much suffering to Darsia!Iris choked up and said, "Mr. Cosby, you have to save Darsia. Only you can turn things around now. If you don't step in, Darsia will face utter devastation…"After finishing that sentence, she coughed up blood again and f
Soon, Remus, Ana, and Eva carried the injured Iris toward Ironpeak Island. Fortunately, the distance between the two islands was not big, so the journey went smoothly.Getting to Ironpeak Island was incredibly easy, as the formation there was set up by Remus."Mr. Cosby?""What brings you here, Mr. Cosby?"The people on Ironpeak Island saw Remus approaching and greeted him eagerly.At first, they were pleasantly surprised. Being isolated from the outside world, they were all focused on their cultivation.Moreover, Husan had not informed them about Remus' situation, so in their minds, Remus was still the Tanjen Organization's leader in Darsia.But then they felt surprised as he didn't come along and brought the Walter family along. Moreover, it seemed like he was injured.Seeing them, Remus gave them a genuine smile. After all, it was like meeting an old friend in a distant country."It's a long story. We're here to cultivate for a while.""Mr. Cosby, has something happened?"
"Almost?" Remus was momentarily taken aback and took a closer look at her.As a doctor, he could easily tell that when she said she was almost recovered, it merely meant she could walk around without difficulty. Her vitality hadn't fully returned.Still, he was surprised and asked, "How long was I inside?""Three days!" Iris blurted out.Hearing that, the excitement on Remus' face was suddenly extinguished. In his peak condition, it would have taken less than two hours to absorb that much spiritual energy, but now it had taken him three days.He nodded and said as he quickly walked away, "I have some matters to attend to, so you go ahead…"Iris watched him leave, her lips trembling, because she had been waiting for him here on purpose.She wanted to ask when they could return to Darsia, but in the end, she didn't because she had already learned about his situation from Eva.Remus quickly descended the mountain, checked his surroundings to make sure no one was around, then swift
At the same time, at the Rose Estate, Jelun stood by the window, gazing out at his home.Without turning around, he calmly asked, "Is there any news from Darsia?"The butler behind him, Clinton Abbott, shook his head, saying, "No, there's been no news at all so far."Jelun raised his hand, and Clinton quickly handed him his phone.Then, Jelun dialed a number. He tried three times, but no one answered.A cold smile spread across his aged face. "It seems Darsia has made their decision. In that case, let them witness the Rose family's might. Give the order to attack!"Upon hearing the order, Clinton shuddered, a chilling glint appearing in his eyes. In reality, if it were up to him, he wouldn't have given Darsia three days to think and would have attacked long ago.In other words, even if Darsia submitted, his intention was to fight. After all, only what was earned through violence truly belonged to you, while submission was never loyal. Now, it was finally achieved!"Understood!"
Behind Jean and Kylie, Husan, Glinda, and Seraphine were quietly sobbing.Outside, hundreds of people, led by Alicia and Abe, stood neatly in the yard. They had heard the news earlier but didn't dare to talk about it before it was officially reported. Now, it had made the news.When Kylie and Jean hung up their phones, their anger hadn't faded yet. But as soon as they met each other's gaze, it vanished abruptly, and tears began to well up in their eyes.It wasn't just the two of them. Husan and the other three also began to cry.There had long been confirmation about Remus, but they just didn't want to admit it. Now, there was no choice but to acknowledge it.Seeing the women in the main hall start to cry, Abe's and Alicia's tears followed suit.Behind them, hundreds of the Cosby family's members started to tear up and sob, quickly escalating into loud wailing. The sound of crying echoed through the residence's compound for a long time.…At Kaiser's office, Lincoln stood in fr
When Darsia's 140 million citizens heard Gabriela's tone, it was as if they had been struck on the head. She hadn't said much, but her tone already revealed quite a bit."No, it's not true!""Please don't say it. I'm begging you, don't say it.""Goddess of War, I'm begging you."Everyone had already begun to plead, not wanting Gabriela to continue speaking. As long as she remained silent, they could still hold onto a sliver of hope in their hearts. But if she said it, it would mean that everything was truly over.But she still spoke, "Lately, there have been many traitors within Darsia!"They are deliberately trampling on Darsia's dignity, tarnishing our reputation, and even attempting to break our spirit piece by piece."They would even sell out our closest ones. Everyone, I must say this—Darsia has reached a critical moment of life and death!"These words were easy to understand, so everyone immediately realized what was going on.Could it be that Remus was betrayed? Yes, th
As soon as Gabriela finished speaking, all the screens went black.The citizens first looked stunned before suddenly standing up in realization. So, Remus wasn't dead, after all.In the end, they all became enraged, finally understanding why Gabriela called those media outlets traitors. They were cursing Remus."Damn those unethical media outlets! I'll kill them!""Everyone, follow me. Let's smash their offices!""Those bastards dared to make up stories and mess with our emotions. They'll pay for this!"In just ten minutes, the people's emotions shifted quickly from sadness to anger. And all their anger found a target for release—the media outlets that reported the news.The media outlets' headquarters were surrounded. It was like a siege, and some people had already broken in!In the headquarters, the decision-makers who released the news were completely stunned, watching in despair as people rushed in.…At the same time, Jelun walked through the Rose Estate, beaming and in
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
