"Stop talking and get ready!"Crystal couldn't wait any longer as her spiritual energy surged out. Although she didn't know any cultivation techniques, she knew manifestation techniques. A whip appeared in her hand, and Crustal lashed out fiercely at the green vines without hesitation.Seeing this, Amelia quickly raised her hand, and just like before, vines appeared out of thin air and entangled the long whip.Even though she had exhausted her spiritual energy, martial arts techniques and manifestation techniques were on completely different levels.Manifestation techniques could only be at the level of the user's stage. Meanwhile, martial arts techniques allow the user to deliver their most powerful strike using the least amount of spiritual energy.Beyond that, the difference in strength and quality between them was worlds apart.With just a flick of Amelia's hand, the vines quickly constricted and crushed the whip, which vanished completely without a trace.The bystanders sta
Everyone simultaneously looked in Remus' direction. Their expressions transitioned first from surprise, then to shock, and finally to anger."They're shameless!""They dare to use Amelia's companion to threaten her!""Was he the one who just arrived at the Immortal Realm?"The air was filled with a chorus of curses, just like before, with everyone keeping their voices low. Despite the insults, it was clear to anyone listening that the people were scared and didn't dare to criticize loudly.Remus wasn't expecting them to do anything. Instead, he was looking at the fairy, who was standing in the air.However, contrary to what he was expecting, the fairy just glanced at him and looked back down at the surface of the lake, almost as if she hadn't heard him at all."Huh?" Remus was taken aback by the fact that she didn't seem to recognize him. Could he have mistaken her for someone else?Crystal sneered and sarcastically said, "So you're just a fool who's recently arrived at the Imm
The man was astonished that Remus had the nerve to talk back, and with an almost dismissive tone. He became furious and snapped, "What did you just say, kid?"Remus didn't want to argue with him and slapped the man away, sending him flying. "Since you can't understand words, I'll communicate with you through fists. Do you get it now?"Everyone was taken aback. No one expected Remus to dare to attack, much less for him to be so powerful.This clan was at the Golden Stage, which was considered the strongest in the entire Plains! Yet, one of their members lost to him in a single move."How dare you attack my fellow clan member?"One of the clan members standing nearby finally regained his composure, swiftly releasing his spiritual energy without any concern for the possibility of harming those around him. The spiritual energy surged toward Remus.However, just as he lashed out, Remus also sent him flying with a slap."You!"Another slap rang out."You dare…"And yet another slap
Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to say.Crystal was the one who said Amelia could only surrender once she was out of the lake, but Remus was now throwing those words back at Crystal after only a few minutes.He was simply humiliating her, and nobody could do anything about it because of his strength.In an instant, everyone turned their gaze toward Remus. Instead of the previous disdain and anger, there was only fear and apprehension in their eyes."What… What exactly do you want?" Crystal broke down and yelled.She came here to humiliate Amelia and to trample her underfoot, using Remus to threaten her. Who would have thought that Remus was so formidable? Now, the one being embarrassed was herself!"Nothing, really. I was just bored." Remus slapped Harold a few more times and looked at Amelia, saying, "You keep going. I'll follow shortly."He spoke about conquering the challenge so casually, but everyone there believed him.Amelia, snapping out of a daze, nodded absen
People gathered on the shore began to cheer for Amelia.Remus felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He could sense something the others couldn't. Amelia was at the end of her strength, especially since she was still being battered by the waterfall, constantly draining her spiritual energy.At this rate, not only would it be difficult for her to keep climbing, but even maintaining her current position would be a challenge.If Amelia couldn't enter the Mountains, going in alone would be inconvenient for Remus. He still had a lot of questions for her, too.Amelia suddenly shivered and slid down along the vine. The vine also appeared weak, looking as if it might break at any moment.Fortunately, Amelia stopped about ten feet away from the lake. If her feet had touched the water, she would have failed."No!" she cried out in frustration.The crowd also let out startled gasps and screams.Remus couldn't wait any longer. He looked up at the fairy in the sky, raised his hand to bite his fin
"Stumpy!" Amelia called out when she saw Remus staring so intently and hadn't taken the token.Remus snapped back to his senses at that, looking again at the fairy. She was frowning and looked irritated, clearly annoyed by his staring.No wonder there hadn't been any news about her in all of Darsia. It turned out she was here. What was even scarier was that she couldn't recognize him!Remus held back his shock and reached out to take the token.The fairy spoke again, "If you keep going straight from here, you'll be able to leave the cave and enter the Mountains. From there, decide on your own path."With that, she turned and left."Thank you and farewell, miss!" Amelia was very respectful and spoke politely to the fairy's retreating figure.Remus watched the fairy as she walked away. Instead of feeling at ease as the distance between them grew, he felt more and more shaken.It wasn't just because of the fairy, but because his outlook on this world was swayed. Who would have tho
However, the downside of the Plains was that the spiritual energy there was relatively sparse. Because of that, cultivators could only reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, with no records of enlightenment beyond that.Entering the Mountains was the only path for the immortals to pursue the path of cultivation.Upon entering the Mountains, they could seek out a mentor. Not only would they be able to enhance their abilities, but they could learn more techniques, too.Most importantly, reaching a certain stage would allow them to become everlasting and a true immortal who would govern a region or oversee a section of this world.After listening to Amelia's explanation, Remus felt even more shocked.This world followed the same rules as the outside, and even the so-called Upper Realms were the same. According to Amelia, this realm also had a Master of Thunder and various divisions.In the end, he asked her about the Celestial Creator. Regarding this, she only knew that he was th
"How arrogant!""You're shameless!""Stop spouting nonsense!"These people suddenly became furious. As the immortals from the Mountains, they had always looked down on those from the Plains.In the past, anyone who managed to make it up the mountain would show them great respect. So, how dare Remus challenge them? It was ridiculous."Stumpy!" Amelia shivered with fright and whispered, "Don't speak so carelessly. They are immortals from the Mountains and are not to be compared with ordinary people from the Plains."You'd better apologize quickly, or you'll be in for a world of trouble if they take action."Remus stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly ignoring Amelia, and said confidently, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."He spoke it casually, but the more casual he was, the more his words felt like thorns piercing their hearts."You arrogant bastard, I'll show you today what a real immortal's techniques look like!" an elder holding a staff shouted angrily.W
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
