It had been seven days since the abyss closed up and Remus' death was declared.From the perspective of Wizardry, this day was when Remus was supposed to "return."The group of women, led by Wilda, returned to Imperial Villa in Neptuna. This was Remus' first stop after leaving the mountains and entering the outside world. He lived here for a considerable period, so calling it his "home" wouldn't be an exaggeration.They were all dressed in black with white flowers on their clothes, looking sorrowful. There was no conversation between them as they silently waited.Finally, the sky began to gradually darken. Their hearts began to race with anticipation as they glanced around, hoping to see Remus return.In the end, Remus still didn't return, and gradually, the sound of crying began.It wasn't just here. The Cosby residence at Centuria, Tanjen Organization in the mountains, the original Shenington's and Monington's locations… People were waiting wherever Remus had been before.Unfo
There were thousands of statues of Remus. This level of devotion was already beyond what most immortals got.Kaiser calmly replied, "It's not that I ordered these statues for him, but it's the people who are grateful and decided to put up statues on their own. If you want to blame me for everything, then you're wronging an innocent person. Haha."Seeing his smile never wavering only made the four Golden Immortals angrier. "Kaiser!"The Golden Immortal standing to the west, Cesar Webb, snapped, "We are discussing something very serious with you, so don't act so frivolously."The fact that an ordinary person is receiving devotion is already a violation of the rules. As the president, you carry a significant responsibility for this! Besides, without your command, would Darsia's citizens dare to erect a statue for a mere mortal and give him their devotion?"Noticing his anger, Kaiser quickly reverted to a serious expression. "I am indeed the president, but my primary responsibility is
"You!""Kaiser!""What did you say?""How dare you disagree?"The four immortals glared at Kaiser, feeling a level of anger they hadn't experienced in years as Golden Immortals. This time, however, Kaiser had truly struck a nerve.Faced with their wrath, Kaiser showed no trace of fear. If it weren't inappropriate to express certain things, he would have immediately retorted.He wanted to remind them that when Darsia was about to be destroyed, not only did they not step in to help, but they didn't even show up.Now that they were receiving less devotion, they even dared to suggest they do something for the people. Where did they get the nerve?"Take care! I won't be seeing you off!"With that, Kaiser turned and was about to leave. But just as he did, four golden lights appeared around him, trapping him in a sealed-off space.Aidan angrily said, "Kaiser, the reason we're talking to you is to give you an opportunity. You need to understand that the position of the president is n
Hearing this, the other three Golden Immortals were momentarily stunned. They started to reflect on Kaiser's earlier demeanor. At first glance, nothing seemed off, but upon closer thought, he did appear overly assertive.He was just the president—a mere mortal. Like everyone else, he could read the room and understand societal norms. No matter the situation, he must have some human warmth and understanding.Cesar remarked, "I was angry earlier because of his attitude, so I didn't really think about it. Now that you've mentioned it, looking back, his attitude did seem suspicious."Aidan cautiously asked, "Could it be that he is holding a grudge against us because we didn't take action when Darsia was attacked? Is that why he was so rude to us?"Before descending into the Mortal Realm, they were aware of the events regarding the deaths of the Four Great Sacred Lands' saint masters. Before coming, they had even inquired with the Celestial Immortals from those lands.According to them
Before Terrence could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze, staring at the statue of Remus with his eyes slowly widening."What's wrong?""Terrence?"Noticing his unusual expression, the other three asked him what was going on.Terrence lifted his hand, releasing the statue, which expanded to its original size between them. With a serious tone, he said, "Take a close look at this guy's features. Doesn't it seem familiar to you? Don't you think you've seen him before?"The others, upon hearing this, took a closer look. Initially, they were somewhat disdainful, wondering how they could have met a mere mortal before.But when they finally saw Remus' face clearly, they were so stunned that their minds went blank, unable to believe it."Rafael Cosby!""Melody Lilibet!"They blurted out the two names simultaneously, their hearts in turmoil.These two individuals had once thrown the Upper Realms into chaos and almost destroyed it entirely! Even today, these two were an absolute ta
The four Golden Immortals all fell silent. They felt conflicted and even more so regretful! Everything would have been better if they didn't suddenly come to the Mortal Realm, see Remus' statues, and connect these dots.If they knew nothing, then whatever happened in the future would have nothing to do with them. But now that they knew, they would definitely be punished if they didn't report this.On the other hand, if they reported this, the Thunder Sect would never let them off the hook. After all, Remus was Melody's only son.She even forced out her own golden elixir pill for him when he accidentally ended up in the Upper Realms. Everyone had witnessed this profound motherly love!Apart from the Thunder Sect, there were others in the Upper Realms who admired Melody, too.If they got involved in this, what would they do next?…At the same time, in Darsia Imperial Palace, Kaiser stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the pond, gazing up at the night sky. He only l
But another problem presented itself. Even if he managed to get out, how would Remus stand against the Upper Realms and save his parents if he couldn't even win against Chaos? It was his first time feeling so insignificant!"According to my mentor's words, I only need to find nine fiancées to rescue my parents. I've already found eight, but it feels like I've just taken the first step on a long journey to save them."He felt even more pessimistic inside. He thought that since he had found eight fiancées, he could at least protect himself when facing the Upper Realms.But now, it seemed that not only might he not be able to protect himself, but he was questioning if he could even get close to the Upper Realms."What on earth should I do?"Remus felt increasingly lost. This was a long and arduous journey filled with uncertainty. He even started to doubt Tyson's words, questioning whether acquiring nine fiancées could actually help him rescue his parents.Judging by the current situ
After about a dozen seconds, a voice said, "Get lost!"These words were uttered with such authority and decisiveness that it brooked no argument.Remus recognized the voice as Chaos' and remained silent, quietly observing the world outside.The leader of the group, Luke York, suddenly looked ahead, as if knowing exactly where Chaos was. He declared with anger on his face, "I'm here to take Remus. Hand him over, and I will allow your realm to continue existing and grant you dominance over this land forever.""I said, get lost!" Chaos repeated, this time with a touch of anger.Luke furrowed his brow and continued, "The Upper Realms were able to take you down once, and they can do it a second time."Remus is sought by the Celestial Sovereign of the Upper Realms, and you cannot shelter him. If you continue to be stubborn, this entire world will face destruction along with you!"Since Chaos refused to hand Remus over willingly, he could only warn it of the consequences.Too impatien
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
