Hearing Juan's voice, Remus finally halted his pondering and looked upward.The fight above was nearly over. The once invincible Juan now appeared extremely disheveled.His robe was torn to shreds, his body covered in wounds, and his energy unstable, clearly exhausted. His tone had also changed from arrogance to pleading.Meanwhile, Dwight and Raul weren't in great shape, either. They were also disheveled and out of breath, with visible wounds. After all, this was a life-or-death struggle, and Juan had put in his all to fight for his life.Raul snapped, "Let you go? Do you take us for fools? If we release you now, you'll surely report us when we're back in the Upper Realms. What would become of us then?"We wouldn't be in this predicament if it weren't for your greed. If you hadn't attacked Harrison first, we wouldn't have considered attacking you. This is the consequences of your actions."Dwight also said, "As you said, the opportunity is right in front of us. How could we not
"You're courting death!""Today, it's either you or me!"Dwight and Raul no longer paid attention to Juan, who was clearly weakened, and began engaging in a fierce battle.Juan was still hovering in the air, looking confused. He thought that would be the end of him, but to his surprise, they started fighting with each other.Remus was frustrated. He wasn't surprised that Dwight and Raul would turn on each other, but couldn't they deal with Juan first?If they waited until everything was settled before taking out Juan, they could end up exhausting each other to the point of being weaker than Juan. What if he ended up benefiting from their conflict? Remus couldn't believe it."Look, these are the so-called Celestial Immortals. They wear a facade of righteousness, but inside, they're full of petty scheming," Chaos remarked mockingly.His mocking laughter had deep meaning. It wasn't just directed at them but at the entire Upper Realms."Actually… there are some good Celestial Immor
Chaos suddenly fell silent upon hearing Remus' questions.After several seconds, Chaos sighed deeply. "It's quite a coincidence. Your mother was born prematurely, right when tensions between the cultivators and the Monarch of Mortals were about to erupt."On the very day she was born, Francis was leading the cultivators in discussions with the Monarch of Mortals to negotiate for a peaceful division, and they were close to reaching an agreement."But due to your grandmother's unexpected death, everything came to a halt. After her passing, Francis' temper became increasingly volatile, which completely intensified the conflict, leading to the Battle of the Three Realms."Come to think of it, your mother's birth and your grandmother's death were the war!"Remus was stunned, never expecting the truth to be so complicated. If Chaos wasn't the one telling him this, he wouldn't have believed it at all.The Battle of the Three Realms was a catastrophic event for all races. The Monarch of
Remus processed the information silently. In essence, the Monarch of Mortals was symbiotic with the Pathic Energies. As long as someone attained the state of being a Monarch of Mortals, they would become very difficult to eliminate.Remus asked, "My father's spirit is at the Monarch of Mortals Stage, yet his heavenly and earthly souls aren't?"Chaos nodded. "You can say that. His spirit is at the Monarch of Mortals level, while his earthly and heavenly souls are only at the Martial Divinity Stage."What's even stranger is that for normal people, if their physical body is destroyed, their three souls would disperse. No matter how strong they are, it would at least significantly weaken them."But even though your father's heavenly and earthly souls are gone, his spirit has become stronger, almost comparable to a Monarch's."If it weren't for the fact that spirits are not tolerated in the Mortal Realm and must return to the Underworld, his spirit could very likely have achieved the s
Seeing this, Raul's mind was blank for a moment, but he still reacted quickly.Putting on a smile that looked even worse than crying, he praised as if singing, "Juan is wonderful, and his swordsmanship is top-notch! If you ask whose swordsmanship is the best, no one can surpass Juan!"Juan let out a mocking laugh. He walked over with a playful smile with his sword in hand. "I like this song. Keep going."Seeing Juan drawing closer, Raul no longer felt like singing and quickly pleaded, "Juan, I'm begging you to give me a chance! I spared you earlier, didn't I? If I had hit you with that strike, you would have long perished."According to the principle of reciprocity, you should also let me go this once. I'm begging you!"Juan laughed arrogantly. "The principle of reciprocity? Very well, I'll give you a chance.""Really?" Raul lit up with excitement and asked eagerly."Of course not!"With that, Juan swung his sword, and Raul's head hit the floor.At this point, of the ten Celes
The staff originally belonged to Harrison, given to him by the Celestial Court's Immortal Emperor. Its effectiveness was unquestionable. The real question was whether he should use it against this crowd."Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave now, don't blame us for being merciless!" Gemma shouted.As soon as she said that, Juan suddenly used his Heaven Energy to pick up the staff. Then, he tossed it into the air, using his Heaven Energy to propel it.Long fur sprouted from the staff, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Then, the fur charged at the crowd.Everyone was stunned, not expecting him to make the first move."You...""What should we do?"The fur continued extending, tightly ensnaring everyone present. The disciples were powerless to resist, and even a single fur could render them immobile.The wardens were slightly stronger than the staff, but only marginally. They were merely at the peak of the Divine Separation Stage, transitioning to the early phase of
Without any Heaven Energy to run on, the staff, no matter how valuable, was just an ordinary staff. The fur quickly retracted, and the people who were trapped slowly descended.At this moment, they were looking at Remus with a strange expression in their eyes. At first, they thought he was an outsider and an enemy. Later, they thought of him as a comrade when they found out Chaos was protecting him.But even with that, no one had completely forgiven him. After all, Remus was extremely arrogant. When he first arrived, he demanded that they kneel before him, which was incredibly humiliating.Who would have thought that he would save them?Without looking at them, Remus grasped Harrison's staff and Juan's whip sword. Killing without taking anything was as good as killing for nothing, especially after witnessing the power of these two weapons. It would be a waste to not take them.He turned to look at Chaos and smiled. "My savior, I'm getting you out now. We can leave together."Afte
"Lord Chaos!"Noticing Chao' gaze on them, Gemma and Gareth stepped forward, their faces full of tension. Although they hadn't been part of the conversation just now, they had overheard it. They knew Chaos would continue to be trapped here.The ten divine retreats' wardens also stepped forward.Chaos spoke with bitterness. "Take them, along with the people from the Plains, and get them out of Darsia. Once you're out, find a place for them to settle down. If you can manage this, I will have no regrets protecting you this time."There was only one day left until the next batch of Celestial Immortals would arrive for their shift.They would undoubtedly discover what happened and that Remus had escaped by then. Their wrath would surely fall upon the people in the Immortal Realm, making it impossible for them to escape.Even though these people's purpose was to entertain Chaos to cope with boredom and loneliness, there were still many of them who were "orphans"—people whose deaths mig
That voice was like an ancient chant, carrying a mysterious energy. It was as if it held the power of the universe, echoing in the night sky for a long time.Hearing this voice, the other 14 immortals looked over as well.Wayne's laughter paused abruptly, and he stood there frozen. Even though he didn't turn around, a look of fear had already appeared in his eyes, growing more intense by the second.This voice reminded him of someone—someone who absolutely shouldn't be present in the Mortal Realm.After about three seconds, Wayne cautiously turned and saw a pair of feet—very large ones—measuring several yards.Looking further up, he noticed a pair of long legs dressed in simple cloth, each leg stretching about 100 feet in height. Above them was the upper body, also measuring 110 feet.Above that was the head with a clear face. He had stern and sharply defined features, as if sculpted with a chisel. The eyes, in particular, seemed to possess the ability to see through time, except
Their voices were filled with anger and resentment."Mr. Geer, we support you!""We will not give up!""It's better to die than to surrender!"The voices came in tens of thousands.Remus looked around anxiously but saw nothing beyond the usual scenes. Unable to contain himself, he shouted, "Who are you, and where are you? I'm Remus Cosby! I'm right here!"No one replied. He couldn't see anyone and could only hear their voices."Where are you guys?" he shouted again.Meanwhile, on the path to the Underworld, specters appeared in a dense mass, moving toward the Underworld while weeping and wailing.…"Kill them all, every last one of them!" Wayne's expression grew increasingly twisted, completely losing control of his facial expressions, even going so far as to take action himself.The Golden Immortal and Celestial Immortals were still attacking, but their expressions were completely different from before.Instead of anger, their faces showed shock and even astonishment. They
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
