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
"The Thunderous God of War must have taken care of it!""That goes without saying! Is there anything in this world that the God of War can't handle?""Darsia's lucky to have the Thunderous God of War!"The crowd around the edge of the abyss grew louder. Everyone became increasingly excited without exception, with some even shedding tears of joy.The reason was quite simple—the haze's threat was abysmal. If Remus was unable to resolve it and the haze leaked out, an area spanning 30 miles would be devastated, and it may even spread further downhill.Now that the haze had receded, the weight on their hearts was finally lifted.The women also finally had smiles on their faces again."I knew it! There's nothing Remus can't solve!" Seraphine said with a smile."See, Kylie? The haze is already cleared!" Jean said playfully."Of course, I knew Remus could handle it. What I'm doing is called being proactive, preparing in advance. If everyone were as optimistic as you, what if something
"Come back up here right now!" Gabriela quickly shouted into the abyss.Soon, the three people who entered the abyss rushed out and were now hovering in the air. Their faces were pale with fear, looking anxious.Everyone continued to stand at the edge of the abyss, watching and waiting for Remus to emerge.The abyss was now only 100 feet in diameter. The edge of the abyss started becoming unusually crowded, so many people had to hover in the air to watch from above.When the abyss was down to just 50 feet, the people standing at the edge could even clearly see the eyebrows of the people standing on the opposite side. As it continued shrinking, more people rose into the air, watching from above with anticipation.It was no longer an abyss when it reached 20 feet—it was merely a hole they could step over.The abyss continued shrinking. At ten feet, everyone held their breath, feeling an ominous sense of foreboding. While a person could still pass through, its diameter felt incredib
"No!" Kylie suddenly lost control of her emotions and let out a heart-wrenching scream. Staring at the meteor fading in the night sky, she cried out, "It's not Remus! It can't be Remus!"Her scream shattered the silence. Instantly, everyone in the forest was in a state of unprecedented panic.Although it was still unclear whom the two meteors represented, they had a feeling that one of them likely represented Remus. Could he really have died?"Quick, contact Centuria!" Gabriela quickly composed herself and ordered.She felt extremely hopeless inside, but what she needed to focus on at that moment was finding out who the other meteor represented. Was it Kaiser? If it was, Darsia would certainly be thrown into chaos.Soon, they received the news that Kaiser was safe and sound through the phone."If he's alright, then what about Remus? Can we get in touch with him?" Seraphine was unable to think straight, her eyes almost pleading as she looked at Miranda, hoping she could make a cal
After about 15 minutes, these immortals finally calmed down a bit.One of them gritted out, "Judging by their wounds, many of them were killed with a single blow. It's not hard to deduce that the person responsible is at a much higher stage than them. So, we just need to find the person with the highest stage in Darsia right now!"Another person said, "There are only the Four Great Sacred Lands when it comes to cultivation sects. Besides them, no one else can compare. Now that the Four Great Sacred Lands are destroyed, where can we find this person?"The figure standing to the east, enveloped in a golden light, raised a hand to make a divination.Soon after, with a serious tone, he said, "In today's Darsia, the practice of spiritual cultivation is declining, while martial arts are on the rise. If you're looking for a spiritual cultivation sect, head northeast from here for about 30 miles, and you will find the largest sect there."Once the location was deduced, they immediately go
Soon, Kaiser and the immortals arrived at the forest where the abyss appeared. However, instead of entering the forest, they stood among the clouds, deliberately concealing their presence while looking down at everything below."Remus…""The Thunderous God of War is…""Mr. Cosby!"The forest echoed with continuous cries of agony, with everyone howling in pain. Some even fainted from weeping.The immortals observed the scene and frowned because everything below was absolutely not staged. If it were an act, there would have been a tell, no matter how small. Yet, if it wasn't staged, then the series of events seemed just too coincidental.Xaden and Adalyn had just passed away, and Remus died as soon as these immortals came to the Mortal Realm right away. It all seemed like it was set up.They remained silent and simultaneously looked at one of the immortals, Randall Schmitt, who had divined the sect's location at Ryunington.Seeing everyone's gaze, Randall raised his hand and wave
If the country was thrown into chaos, who would have the time to pray to the Immortals? Who would be able to maintain their faith?So, if Kaiser depleted Darsia's fortune, it would be the equivalent of abducting a lot of the immortals.This was also why, when the 100 nations attacked Darsia, only the Celestial Sovereign appeared, yet it was something everyone in the Upper Realms knew about. Many could sense that the people's faith in them was rapidly diminishing."You... Do you really think you're untouchable?""Kaiser, you need to understand your place!""You are the mortals' representative, responsible for Darsia's 140 million citizens. Are you willing to jeopardize all these lives just because of these few people?"The immortals were livid.Kaiser calmly replied, "You can try and see."An immortal couldn't hold back anymore and raised his hand to deliver a powerful strike toward the forest.At the same time, Kaiser unleashed a powerful strike without holding back, channelin
Kaiser only breathed a sigh of relief after they left.In reality, it wasn't just the immortals who were furious just now. He was feeling equally vexed inside and wished he could obliterate those immortals who stood by indifferently as Darsia was in jeopardy. Thankfully, it was all over now.Kaiser no longer remained in hiding and slowly descended."Mr. President!"When Kaiser arrived, everyone turned to look at him with tear-filled eyes.Seeing their expressions, Kaiser felt as though his heart was ripped in two. He knew a lot of things but couldn't say them aloud. If any information were to leak, Remus would truly be doomed.With a choked voice, he said, "I know everything. The Thunderous God of War gave his life for Darsia, and his death carries immense weight and significance!"Originally, everyone still held onto a faint glimmer of hope in their hearts. But upon hearing these words, their emotional defenses collapsed, and the sound of crying became deafening once again.It
When Kaiser heard this, he involuntarily trembled, not out of fear but because he was infuriated. It was clear from Wayne's tone that there was a strong sense of disdain, even outright contempt!The ten women also looked angry. The 1.4 billion citizens were silently clenching their fists. The previous grievances hadn't been avenged, and now they were showing off their power again. Did Wayne think he could treat the Mortal Realm however he wanted?Though Kaiser was upset, he couldn't express it. As the president, any impulsive decision would have to be borne by all the citizens, so it was crucial to proceed with caution.He replied, "Mr. Morrow, you should know that forcing something doesn't yield good results. If you try to force the outcome that the Upper Realms desire, it may backfire. Instead, consider easing up a bit, and you might achieve a different, perhaps better, outcome."If they couldn't fight back, they could only try to reach a compromise.However, what no one expecte
"The emperor attacked from the outside, while Candace's attack came from within!"Remus paused once again. This time, he stayed silent for about 10 minutes before looking up at the sky with excitement and exclaiming, "I understand now!"The true sequence of events was like this: Candace did intend to kill me, and I was indeed on the verge of disappearing, but the Pathic Energies' protection prevented me from vanishing.""The truth is exactly what I initially thought. If I compare it to humans, my specter has been severed from my body but hasn't left it. It's more like my specter has been forcibly sealed within my body! That's it!"Although the conclusion reached was the same as initially, the evidence used to support it was completely different. It could be said that he had guessed correctly initially, but now it was confirmed as true!"If in the Mortal Realm, one can be revived if their specter merges with their body. So, right now, I should be able to wake up once I merge with m
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
