Back on the Island of the Monarch, Remus let out a whimper, slowly opening his eyes."Remus, are you awake? How do you feel?" Eva asked beside him with a face full of concern.Remus looked at her and the surroundings and realized he was no longer in that thatched hut, but instead on the bed in Husan's room.He forced a smile and said, "I'm alright now."But in truth, he was still in pain, which was also the cause of the whimpering. Telling Eva that he was fine was just to prevent her from worrying.Upon seeing his smile, Eva's emotions got the best of her. She broke down, leaned on him, and cried, "You scared me to death. How can I live without you?"Please stop trying to cure yourself, Remus. Can we just leave it as it is? Please stop hurting yourself. I beg you!"Her body shook with each sob.Remus quickly felt a large area on the front of his shirt getting soaked. As he looked up at the ceiling, a tinge of sorrow flashed in his eyes that he couldn't hide.At this point, he
Remus smiled and nodded. "You've worked hard these past couple of days. Take a good rest while I go for a walk.""Remus…" Eva's eyes reddened again. She couldn't pinpoint when she had become such a crybaby.Remus understood what she was thinking and laughed. "Don't worry. I'm not going to put any strain on my meridians and am really just taking a walk to relax."After lying in bed for two days, my whole body feels sore. Walking around will help loosen me up."Eva still didn't believe him but couldn't argue any further and had to let him leave.Remus stepped out of the cabin. Without realizing it, he wandered back to the thatched house. He stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing out at the endless sea.Amazingly, his mind was surprisingly calm. He wasn't sure if that was because of the breathtaking scenery or the realization that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't suppress the overwhelming pain.But he didn't stay there for long, turning around and leaving shortly after.Th
Remus wasn't trying to argue with Marvin, but he simply couldn't understand his response.Marvin was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at Remus and only dared to answer when Remus didn't seem angry."Mr. Cosby, you're mistaken. The path of cultivation is long and seemingly endless. Even though we know our talents are average, we still aspire to create miracles."Just like ordinary people who know they'll eventually face death but still strive to live, they understand that wealth is not the most important thing, yet they desperately seek it."In a nutshell, we believe in fate but aren't resigned to it. Even knowing something is impossible, we still strive for it."Remus suddenly found it interesting. He turned to face Marvin properly and said, "What you're talking about hasn't touched on the essence of continuing the path of cultivation."Whether you're trying to create miracles or just don't believe in fate, you can't change the fact that you've already reache
"What is happening?" Ana looked up in surprise.Iris was also in the woods, staring up at Remus. "Mr. Cosby?"However, Remus didn't feel anyone's gaze on him or hear anyone speaking. He wasn't even aware that he was floating.He kept mumbling, "Accept what you cannot change as if it were your fate…"He already knew this saying before and could confidently say that it wasn't true. With hard work, anything was possible.But as Marvin mentioned, this perspective was from the viewpoint of someone who had succeeded. Up till now, Remus had never encountered a challenge that he couldn't overcome.Even looking at this sentence now, he could confidently say it wasn't accurate. But this perspective was from someone still putting in the effort, not from someone who had already succeeded.To put it more simply, the reason Marvin was trying wasn't necessarily to achieve his goal but to maintain a positive, upward-moving attitude.An abrupt loud noise erupted from the space in front of Remus
Back in Darsia, a roar cut into the battlefield, shaking the skies. "I will dedicate my life to the nation!"Hearing this roar, everyone instinctively froze and couldn't help but look in its direction.Shortly after, a large group of people appeared.The one leading the group was none other than Miranda. She was dressed in a tunic, followed by nearly 100 warriors wearing the same thing.It was Darsia's most mysterious organization—the Dragon Team!"You guys…" Kaiser was stunned when he saw Miranda as the Dragon Team was Darsia's last line of defense.Before he came here, he had specifically instructed her to lead the Dragon Team to protect Lincoln and others. This was because Darsia could only continue to function properly if Lincoln lived.As long as Lincoln was alive, there would still be hope for them to restore Darsia even if they lost this war.So, why was Miranda here?Miranda responded proactively, "Mr. Mccoy sent us. He said that they can destroy Darsia only if they el
Suddenly, a roar echoed through the forest.The earth shook as hundreds of figures darted through the trees. They leaped up hundreds of feet, revealing human silhouettes in mid-air, only to transform into beasts upon landing.Above, flying beasts swarmed rapidly, filling the sky and blocking out the sun.Leading the pack of beasts was a massive, glaring tiger—Bucky.Bucky leaped nearly a thousand feet into the air, transforming into a graceful figure.Gazing at the sky, Bucky proclaimed, "Born and raised in Darsia, even as a beast, my heart remains with Darsia. We will carry on King Cosby's legacy!"All kinds of beasts' cries filled the sky.Seeing this, the whole world was stunned.It was understandable that cultivators were getting involved, but even the beasts were joining the fight. Was this reality?Plus, was the "King Cosby" they mentioned referring to Remus? When did Remus have connections with the beasts, who were even carrying on his legacy after his death?What kind
The golden light appeared around Kaiser once more. This time, it didn't spread outward, as the other battlefields no longer needed his attention. He only needed to focus on dealing with Caden.The golden light gathered into a beam and was aimed at Caden, who knew there was no way out.Even if he left Darsia now, his family wouldn't let him go. His only chance of survival was to defeat Kaiser. He decided to stop hiding his strength, let out all of his fighting spirit, and face the beam head-on.The golden light and his fighting spirit collided, causing the air to ripple outward in an instant.Caden spat out more blood, his face turning paler. If he just had to stop Kaiser from leaving, he might have had some confidence, but going head-to-head with him was a different story.He was clearly at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, there was no way out of this.He swiftly retreated to create some distance and instantly increased his speed to the maximum, quickly closing in on Kaiser. Engagi
They were taking action all because they wanted to carry on Remus' legacy and protect what he could no longer do—Darsia.After Kaiser finished speaking, he brought his hand down forcefully and accurately struck the top of Caden's head.Caden's whole body tensed up. Suddenly, he became limp, and his eyes lost focus."I'm… I'm not willing to accept this!" he continued to mutter, but his body showed otherwise. His fighting spirit had stopped surging out, and he couldn't stay airborne anymore, slowly falling from the sky."Caden!""Captain Rose…""No…"Kaiser's strike didn't just land on Caden's head but was also a blow to the whole Allied Force. If they were already worried and afraid before, now they were overwhelmed by terror.Caden was already dead, so what was the point in persisting? What were they risking their lives for?The warriors' powerful presence quickly dissolved. Earlier, they held onto a sliver of hope that if Caden could defeat Kaiser, it would be a major breakth
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
