Hearing Remus' words, the ten mentors nearly had a stroke. They knew he was arrogant, but they never expected it to be this bad!"That's how he is! That's exactly how he is," Brent, eager and impatient, said. "Mr. Patton, he was just like this before and said the exact same thing, telling us to attack him together!"Trey also blurted out, "Mr. Holt, although my skills are average, I have a good memory. That's exactly what he said to us before."Shut up!" the ten mentors simultaneously shouted, squinting at Remus. After what he said, if they didn't take action, it would be unjustifiable!"You live under a rock, relying solely on your talent, and yet you dare to act arrogantly and disregard the rules. Since that's the case, won't show any mercy today. Prepare yourself!""There's no need for you to get involved. This mischievous kid isn't worth your effort, so let me handle him!""Save your breath!" the woman who first attacked Remus before, also a mentor, said. "If you all want to
Never mind the disciples, even the nine other mentors were shocked. How did this happen? The woman had given her all but didn't even get a chance to strike.It seemed like Remus was truly strong. Being able to effortlessly send her flying with just one slap was something that even the other mentors couldn't manage.They looked at each other in surprise, at a loss. After all, the strongest among them was defeated immediately, making it impossible to be sure they could win against Remus.For a moment, everyone fell into an eerie silence. The hundreds of disciples exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.A whole minute passed before Remus spoke again, "Since you're all cowards, then just get out of here and leave me in peace!"He simply added oil to the fire since they were hesitant.As expected, upon hearing this, the remaining nine mentors were extremely embarrassed. If they continued to hide like cowards after being humiliated, how could they ever face anyone again?They looked
The silence that followed was deafening. Even the mountains, rivers, and trees had become still. It was as if in this world, only Remus could move while everything else had to remain frozen.The eight mentors and hundreds of disciples had been shocked so many times that their expressions had become numb.Before today, they never expected to be defeated by someone from the Plains, let alone so decisively.Of course, what they didn't expect even more was Remus' stage. Just how strong was he? He could bring people to their knees with just a look. That was terrifying!Time passed by. After a long while, the remaining eight mentors finally started to breathe quietly, afraid that Remus would notice them and make them kneel, too!With their influence, the hundreds of disciples behind them also started to breathe quietly, as if each breath could ease their tension."I'll give you three seconds. If you don't leave, you'll have to kneel here and apologize!" Remus spoke again and began coun
The spiritual energy struck the techniques instantly, which crumbled and vanished into smoke upon contact, offering no resistance whatsoever. Meanwhile, the spiritual energy continued to spread in all directions."How could this be?""That's impossible!"The eight mentors shouted out at the same time. It went beyond merely seeing something unbelievable—it was something completely beyond the limits of imagination.They were all the strongest in their respective divine retreats. So, how could their techniques possibly be destroyed so easily with eight of them joining hands?"Oh no!" one of the mentors suddenly spoke, looking ahead in terror. "His spiritual energy is still approaching us!"Upon hearing this, they struggled to recover from their shock. They quickly released their spiritual energy to protect themselves.Only by experiencing it firsthand could they truly understand just how overwhelming Remus' spiritual energy was. Rather than mere energy, it felt more like it had tak
The whole place was quiet. It surprisingly brought back a long-lost sense of peace.The hundreds of people, who were previously determined to seek revenge against Remus, were now kneeling on the ground. At the forefront were the ten mentors, and behind them were several hundred disciples.They formed a circle, gazing at Remus, who stood suspended in the air, almost as if in reverence.A gentle breeze swept through, causing Remus' hair and clothes to flutter gracefully. At that moment, he was the true immortal among them!After about ten seconds, one of the mentors suddenly coughed up blood, and his entire lofty presence seemed to dissipate.In despair, he exclaimed, "This humiliation is unparalleled. Since the beginning of the Immortal Realm, we've always commanded the elements. Never have we been trampled on like this."The other mentors, upon hearing this, turned pale. They couldn't even muster anger now. The reason was simple—Remus' strength was truly overwhelming and made the
Remus' attitude infuriated the other wardens, who couldn't help but speak up.Suddenly, Remus slowly opened his eyes, which were deep and calm. He merely took a look before closing them again.He said slowly, "So, the legendary divine retreats are filled with useless people. If you want to fight, come at me all at once. Stop disturbing my peace!"Hearing that, the ten mentors and hundreds of disciples were on the verge of a breakdown. It was that sentence again! It was infuriating!Did he even realize who he was up against? These were the leaders of the ten most revered divine retreats, who also ranked among the very top in the entire realm. How dare he continue to be so arrogant?Brent couldn't hold back and said, "Mr. Carney, this person is extremely cunning and devious. If you decide to attack, you must go all out and not give him any chance to catch his breath!"Another mentor said, "Mr. Carney, be careful. He may seem arrogant, but he's actually very shrewd. Don't underestim
Remus also raised his hand, mirroring Nathan's technique as his spiritual energy spilled out.An enormous hand, dozens of feet in size, also appeared above Nathan's head. In comparison to Nathan's hand, this one seemed more real and tangible, almost like an actual hand. It blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow below."Showing off your tricks in front of a professional?" Nathan was enraged. "It will be too late for you to regret this when I get you scurrying away!"Even though he couldn't defeat Remus in one strike just now, he couldn't afford to lose in terms of presence. After all, Nathan was a divine retreat's warden, so why should he be afraid of an outsider?His spiritual energy also surged out as he pointed at the descending palm above him. A clear beam of energy shot out from his hand, forming a pillar of light with intense force, rapidly blasting upward toward the palm.Yet, when the light came in contact with the hand, it merely paused briefly before continuing downwa
"Stumpy!" Amelia only just now snapped out of it and gazed blankly at the sky, thinking Remus was probably no more.Just half an hour ago, he stood proudly there, but now he'd become nothingness. Why was the world so unpredictable?Another rumble of thunder rolled across the sky. The world was covered in a blanket of white."Exactly 100 thousand bolts of lightning!" Nathan stopped his movements, stood with his hands behind his back just like Remus did earlier, and looked up. "That's enough!"As soon as he said that, the dark clouds slowly began to clear away. The sky returned to its natural clarity, allowing the bright light caused by the lightning to gradually fade away.In an instant, they could see a figure standing proudly in the air, with hands behind his back, showing no change in expression. It was as if he were an immortal standing apart from the world."What?""How can this be?""It's impossible!"The wardens cried out simultaneously, filled with an unprecedented sens
All along, Remus had been too focused on himself in these scenes, thinking they were memories.But if that were the case, the moments like Tyson carrying him up the mountain or being disciplined shouldn't have appeared at all, since he was too young to remember them. This resulted in a disjointed feeling between the first two sections and the ones that followed.But when he removed himself from the equation and looked at everything from a third-person perspective, he was surprised by a fact.The scenes he was seeing were all the ones that had influenced his path. Or rather, they were all significant milestones in his life!If Tyson hadn't carried him up the mountain, he wouldn't have had the chance to grow up. He would have just been an ordinary person if Tyson hadn't taught him the Nine Mystical Spells.If he hadn't gone to the prison to hand in the marriage contracts, he would have lived freely. And he wouldn't have been able to get out of prison were it not for Kylie calling of
With a calm and composed demeanor, Kaiser said, "Before I agree to your terms, I represent Darsia in setting forth three conditions. If..."Wayne interrupted immediately, "Do you or Darsia have the authority to negotiate with us? I'm giving you only two choices—agree or disagree!"…At the same time, Remus was still in the forest, or to be more precise, the scene he could see with his eyes was still of the forest. To put it even more precisely, it was the same view he had seen before, repeating over and over again."I can't change it. There's nothing I can do. I'm really stuck here. Whether this place is the so-called Limbo or not, to me, it truly is Limbo."Remus kept repeating the words over and over in a monotone, completely devoid of emotion. He had lost count of how many times it'd been repeated.Tyson's voice rang out again. "You're a child with a tough life as you lost your parents right after you were born. But at the same time, you're also a lucky child."Your father st
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
