Three down, seven to go.Soon, Remus stumbled upon another Celestial Immortal, who was meditating like Payton. The only difference was that the person guarding this place was a female cultivator.She was wearing a light purple chiffon long dress. Her appearance suggested she was around 40 or 50 years old, but this only represented the age she attained immortality. In terms of how long she had actually lived, it might have been several centuries.Her appearance wasn't particularly stunning, and she even seemed a bit aloof. However, as a Celestial Immortal, she possessed a unique Heavenly Energy that added an extra layer of gracefulness to her presence.Remus wondered if he should ambush her for a moment before quickly dismissing the idea.The main difference between a Celestial Immortal and a Land Immortal was in the range over which they could exert their full power. However, there was one undeniable truth—the Heaven Energy in the Upper Realms is much richer.This meant that as l
Remus held out the flowers and said bitterly, "Cultivating is just so exhausting. If I continue relying solely on my efforts, I fear I might never become a true immortal in this lifetime."Please help me. I'm willing to do anything for you, and you can do whatever you want to me!"Martha suddenly felt her heart race as a thought crossed her mind. Keeping someone around to satisfy her desires seemed like an option.After all, she could control him as she wished, and when she no longer wanted to use him, she could just end it at any time. Who would ever know? The thought was exhilarating.She looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one else was around, she said seriously, "Since that's what you want, from this day forward, you belong to me. Whatever I ask you to do, you must not resist in any way. Do you understand?""Okay!" Remus nodded again.Martha was overjoyed. Just like in the Upper Realms, the Mortal Realm was also dominated by men, so the sudden ability to control a man br
Remus' heart skipped a beat. Had he been found out?If this immortal didn't constantly have his guard up, it would have been hard for him to detect Remus given the distance.So, Remus deduced that this immortal was likely not weaker than him. Perhaps he was one of those individuals who were granted immortality after the Battle of the Three Realms!What should Remus do?He had confidence if it was a direct confrontation. Although their abilities were almost equal, this immortal hadn't been in a fight for hundreds of years. Meanwhile, Remus had spent years flirting with life and death, so he was confident he could win.But if their fight was too loud, it would definitely attract the other immortals. Currently, there were five others besides him, and Remus was still not confident he could win."Come out!" the immortal, Harrison Gill, suddenly shouted again.Remus didn't hesitate at all—he turned and ran. Right now, there were many things he needed to do and many people he needed to
Remus was bewildered. Was Dakota not talking to Remus but to the fish instead?Despite that realization, Remus continued approaching him.When he was close, Dakota, who was busy catching fish, said coldly, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you coming closer?""I... I would like to become your apprentice!" Remus appeared cautious and humble.Dakota was taken aback for a moment, then an expression of disdain appeared on his face.He hadn't shown much emotion earlier because he was fishing to pass the time, but now he couldn't believe Remus had the audacity to talk about wanting to become his apprentice.He mocked mercilessly, saying, "Your abilities are too weak, so you shouldn't even consider the path of cultivation. Look at me, this appearance of mine is how I looked when I achieved enlightenment and ascended to the Upper Realms."You seem to be about my age, but you're still so clueless. You really shouldn't have unrealistic dreams."Remus moved two steps closer, now just a
When Remus was 800 feet away, the immortal, Nellie Carillo, finally felt his presence and opened his eyes.To his surprise, he saw a graceful woman approaching from a distance and was taken aback. This was his first time seeing someone here in the eight days he had been standing guard, never mind a woman."Stop right there!" he said indifferently. "This is a restricted area. Why have you come here?"When he said "restricted", it didn't mean others weren't allowed there but that he didn't want others near him."Sir…" Remus stopped in his tracks and let out a sorrowful cry. With tear-filled eyes, he said, "I... I know where Remus is."Hearing that, Nellie immediately rose into the air, looking serious. "Is that true?"Remus responded equally seriously, "Sir, even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to deceive you. In truth, I've wanted to report this for a long time, but my spouse stopped me and even trapped me with a formation."He has abused me multiple times over these days.
As Nellie spoke, he secretly released his Heaven Energy, preparing to kill Remus as soon as he spoke to ensure that no one else could get this information.Remus felt a bit speechless, but he pulled out Immortal Killing once more without hesitation and swiftly thrust it into Nellie's energy center.Then, he smiled and said, "He's right in front of you.""You..." Nellie was utterly terrified.Without wasting any more time, Remus struck him with his fighting spirit.At the same time, he felt a dangerous presence approaching from behind, so he quickly released his spiritual energy to block the attack. Still, he was blasted backward several steps."You shameless scoundrel! I should have guessed it was you in disguise earlier. I truly regret not realizing it sooner, allowing so many of my fellow disciples to fall victim to you!" Harrison said as his Heaven Energy leaked out.The snow around Remus was lifted quickly into the air, swirling all around him and forming a cage.At this po
Remus wasn't just thinking about it, acting on the thought immediately. He quickly darted away, speeding straight toward Chaos."You brat!" Harrison was momentarily taken aback. He was expecting a long battle between Remus and himself, but to his surprise, Remus fled the moment he revealed his staff.Harrison quickly grabbed his staff and went after him. "I'd like to see where you think you can run to in this tiny realm!"Alas, Remus was a Martial Divinity warrior, with a strong and agile body. Even though Harrison was one of the first Celestial Immortals, he could only watch helplessly as the distance between them grew.But Harrison made a valid point—this realm wasn't very big. Even if Remus wanted to run, there was nowhere he could go. Even if he ran from the east corner to the west, he would never get far enough to disappear from view.So, as he was close to Chaos, Remus suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and swung his sword. The blade sliced through the air, creat
Remus suddenly turned and pleaded, "Spare me. If you do, I promise to repay you someday. I won't let you down."Harrison said coldly, "Letting me hand you over to the Celestial Sovereign is the best way to repay me."He released his Heaven Energy, and a binding rope appeared around Remus, firmly trapping him.At the same time, three figures quickly approached from the air. They were the three remaining Celestial Immortals watching over this realm. Upon hearing the fight, they suspected it might be Remus.As they landed on the ground and saw him in front of them, they were astonished. They hadn't expected that capturing him alive was even possible, but somehow, it had indeed been accomplished!"Please let me go. I'll agree to any conditions, but just don't take me to the Upper Realms. The Celestial Sovereign will kill me! I'm begging you!" Remus seemed like a lost soul, speaking with a tone full of despair.The three Celestial Immortals completely ignored Remus. To them, Remus was
Their voices converged, resounding through the heavens and seemingly piercing through time itself. It left an expression of shock on the faces of the immortals above, who were wreaking havoc.Unfortunately, they wouldn't show any sympathy because of it. In fact, it made them act even more ruthlessly. Their energy became more intense, extending outward and seeming as if it was ready to completely unleash into the air.The winds, floods, and earthquakes became even worse than before. Someone was lifted into the air by the wind. Some were drowning in the flood as waves surged into the city. White spots had appeared on certain people's skins as they froze to death.But even in such circumstances, not a single person fled or pleaded. Instead, all 1.4 billion citizens displayed an extraordinary level of determination and fighting spirit beyond comprehension. Even in the face of death, they could not be shaken in the slightest.Wayne was furious at this scene, feeling as though someone ha
Wayne snapped, "What did you say?"Kaiser suddenly lifted his head and said confidently, "You're wrong. The Upper Realms have been wrong from the very beginning! You've forgotten why Darsia was founded, and you've forgotten that Darsia got to where it is today because of the blood that was shed!"Your greatest mistake is underestimating us. Even as insignificant beings, we still have grand ambitions!""Remus is not just our belief, but he is also the Eternal Pillar in our hearts. In the past, he bravely stood up against the Upper Realms to fight for humanity's rights. Even today, we are determined to follow the path he paved!"Upper Realms, Darsia does not agree to your terms!"After he finished speaking, he and the ten women sat cross-legged in mid-air. Below, the 1.4 billion citizens simultaneously mirrored their actions on the ground with a determined look in their eyes, ready to face death bravely."You... You're asking for it!"Wayne was furious, not expecting things to tur
Suddenly, Wayne's smile vanished. "The Mortal Realm deserves no more chances! Ever since Remus decided to stand against the Upper Realms and you all started to give him your devotion, you don't get a second chance!"That treacherous dog dared to aspire to be a Monarch of Mortals and oppose the Upper Realms. Such arrogance! As his accomplices, you all deserve to be punished and shouldn't expect to retain any power."Starting today, all conditions set by the Upper Realms must be met. Otherwise, the Mortal Realm will be thrown into chaos! People will struggle to survive, famine will spread, and the sun and moon will lose their light! Just do as we tell you to!"Everyone was stunned. Then, the people below all shouted in unison, "You're being too shameless!"Their voices rose higher and higher, shaking the earth.Their respect for Kaiser was because he was the president, but their devotion to Remus was complete and unwavering. Insulting Remus was seen as an attack on their beliefs and
"You're shameless!" Ana and Eva snapped, both furious. At that moment, it seemed like they finally understood the purpose of the Dragon Protector Clan's existence. Being powerless to fight back felt incredibly frustrating and suffocating."He's going too far!" Grant also couldn't help but curse when he saw the scene.After all, Kaiser was the president and represented Darsia's 1.4 billion citizens. How could he possibly be slapped repeatedly? Wayne was straight-up an insignificant being who was behaving irrationally now that he had newfound power!Paul sighed, feeling in his heart that it was really unfair. But what else could the Mortal Realm do but endure the mistreatment?Kaiser felt a burning sensation on his face. The physical pain wasn't a big concern for him as he had prepared himself for the worst, even death. But it wasn't just him who was affected by the slap. This slap was a humiliation to all of Darsia's citizens all at once.However, Kaiser had no means of fighting ba
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
