But there was no time for Remus to think about it now.He could still afford to underestimate Gemma, but he had to approach the situation with caution now. It was not necessarily about her being particularly powerful, but more about avoiding a careless mistake that could lead to regrettable consequences.So, he also released his spiritual energy and fought back.The Kalidra bell suddenly halted in the air, but it didn't disappear. Upon impact, it emitted a profound sound, filling the entire area with an overwhelming resonance."Ah...""No..."Unlike the usual tolling that soothed and calmed the mind, this bell's tolling overwhelmed everyone, causing dizziness."How are you able to withstand that? Who on earth are you?"Gemma was even more furious as she never expected that Remus could still block her attack despite her using celestial style. His strength indeed far surpassed that of the wardens.Remus made no attempt to hide his intentions and straightforwardly said, "I've com
Just as Gareth pulled Amelia out of the bell's attack range, the bell descended, perfectly trapping Remus in it. Its downward momentum continued unabated as it crashed into the ground.Instantly, the ground shook, dust filled the air, and the space itself quivered. The bell suddenly shrank, its diameter now only about two feet and its height less than five feet, making it seem impossible for anyone to stand inside it."Stumpy…" Seeing this scene, Amelia's eyes became red as she kept looking at Gareth next to her.Gareth slightly shook his head. Even though he wanted to know what was going on, now was not the right time to speak up.After all, the entire Immortal Realm was watching, and speaking out impulsively in Remus' favor could easily provoke public anger."Did Ms. Malin win?""She won!"The wardens, mentors, and disciples, who were still kneeling on the ground, at first couldn't believe it. After confirming that Gemma had won, they were shocked and began to exclaim in surpr
The charm was incredibly fast, swiftly applying itself to the Kalidra bell. Immediately, a golden light emanated from the bell. The inscriptions on it seemingly sprang to life, floating around it and continuously rotating.The entire crowd fell silent, captivated by the resonating inscriptions. They felt a deep stir within their hearts, sensing an ancient power. In its presence, they felt as insignificant as dust, and their expressions began to show pure reverence."Stumpy!" Amelia roared again. Although she didn't know what the charm was, there was a sense of grandeur in it, which gave Amelia a bad feeling. Quickly, she turned to Gareth.Gareth hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "It's too late. That person can't be saved."The charm is a divine technique bestowed upon her by the Celestial Creator, and even I can't protect myself completely from that bell when it's under the charm's reinforcement."Hearing this, Amelia trembled all over, her eyes welling up with tears. Alt
After Gemma said that, Gareth couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't just about opposing him—Gemma was also subtly accusing him of betraying the Immortal Realm.He immediately released his spiritual energy. "What do you mean by that?"Gemma didn't back down at all and retorted, "Are you really going to oppose me over a couple of scoundrels? Fine by me. I'm quite interested in seeing what you're capable of, Mr. Bohner!"With that, her spiritual energy also once again surged out.The two of them glared at each other. The situation was incredibly tense, as if an explosion would occur from a spark.At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the field. "I understand now."It took everyone by surprise and momentarily defused the tense atmosphere. Instinctively, everyone turned to look at the source of the noise—the Kalidra bell.What happened next left them in shock. The inscriptions that were floating around the bell's surface gradually settled onto it, and its golden light began to f
This bell was the same size as the one before, but it was much faster. It was about to trap Remus from above again.Sensing the bell's approach, Remus chose to counter it this time. He gathered his spiritual energy, focusing it on his fist, and then released it with a powerful strike.The bell exploded, sending spiritual energy rippling through the air and creating a shockwave that rolled outward in all directions. It extended for a thousand feet, appearing as though it sliced through the air that lay in its path."Oh…""He was actually able to break it!""This person is terrifying!"Everyone below was shocked, turning pale. Just seconds ago, they were filled with excitement and saw hope. But with this punch from Remus, all their hopes were dashed.Even Gemma was unable to defeat him, and a technique from her celestial style was shattered by just one punch. How could someone be so powerful?"Stumpy!" Amelia was dumbfounded again.Even Gareth was taken aback. He had heard about
"What are you trying to ask him at this point?" Gemma interrupted angrily. "If you're going to take action, just do it already."Or could it be that you really know him and are a traitor to the Immortal Realm? The only way to prove you're not a traitor now is to kill him. Hurry up!"Previously, when she spoke, the crowd below would join in and stir things up. But now, it was completely silent.The reason was simple—they were scared. They believed even Gareth couldn't do anything to Remus, so they didn't dare say another word!Remus ignored her constant chatter and instead rose another thousand feet in the air and declared, "I am the grand overseer of the Order of the Nine Mysticisms, son of the fairy Melody Lilibet! Please come out to meet me!"When he didn't know who the Celestial Creator was, he couldn't reveal his identity because if the other party had malicious intent, the consequences could be serious.Now that he knew the ruler was Chaos, a beast, revealing his identity en
Although this mountain had just appeared, its presence was far more substantial than the previous three. The faint golden light at the summit, in particular, exerted an unprecedented level of pressure on Remus.Without any warning, the mountain had already come crashing down."I have come without any ill intentions! The haze has reached the Mortal Realm and poses a threat to its people, so..."Remus thought that by explaining, he could make Chaos stop. However, as he spoke, the mountain continued to draw closer, leaving him with no choice but to halt his words.Without any more hesitation, his spiritual energy and fighting spirit were released simultaneously. This time, instead of meeting the attack head-on, he chose to dodge.In the blink of an eye, he moved horizontally a few hundred feet, beyond the mountain's range.But strangely, this mountain seemed to follow him wherever he went and somehow reappeared directly overhead. It was almost as if Remus had never moved."Why is t
However, Remus had already been crushed to dust by the mountain, so there was no point in discussing it further."Stumpy…" Amelia's tears kept flowing. Even though everything was happening right in front of her, it was still hard to believe. Her mind spun, and she felt dizzy, as if in a dream.In the sky, Chaos' enormous looming eyes began to slowly fade away. After a few seconds, they vanished entirely, and the crack in the sky started to close up. Eventually, it merged back together, leaving nothing but a clear, blue sky.From its arrival to departure, Chaos said nothing and showed no emotions.…Outside the abyss, Kylie stood at the edge, her voice filled with concern. "It's already been three days, and Remus isn't back yet. Could something have happened to him?"She wasn't alone at the edge of the abyss. All the disciples, warriors, Dragon Team members, and logistics personnel had not left.But in this area, it was just Kylie and the other women."Don't curse him!" Jean irr
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
