At the same time, they rushed back to Neptuna. It was already a mess at the provincial capital. "Remus Cosby fought alone and defeated three Grandmasters!""Remus Cosby fought against the Six Tigers of the Fawn and took them all down!""Remus Cosby made a decisive move and crushed Bella Fawn's head!" One after another, the news stimulated the people in the province. Everyone thought that Remus was crazy and that even Jean couldn't save him now. At the Fawn Dojo, Bella's corpse was laid in the middle with a white cloth over it. The Six Tigers of the Fawns were not there as they were hospitalized. Leonard knelt on the floor and sobbed, "Father, you have to avenge Bella. She died so pitifully. Remus thinks he can take down the world because of Jean Lotus' protection. He killed Bella and harmed her six brothers. He's not only disrespected the Steeles but also you." Ethan sat in his wheelchair and said, "Grandpa, we can't just let mom die like that—" Before Bella's corpse was an
Everyone in Daviau gathered at the Fawn Dojo and waited for midnight to come. Just as Remus arrived at Neptuna, he panicked and said, "We're here. Can you stop crying?" He was on the verge of collapsing as Kylie had cried the whole car ride. She wouldn't answer him no matter what he said. If she hadn't been good these couple of days, he would've kicked her out of the car. Finally, Kylie wiped away her tears and sobbed, "I'm sorry. I didn't know I hurt you so deeply that you would lose confidence in your fiancee." Remus finally understood the situation and laughed, "It's fine. I've forgiven you. I didn't really care anyway. Moreover, I have Jean now. I feel content."He didn't expect her to be so kind. She was totally different from when he met her at prison. However, Kylie was furious as she didn't expect Remus to be so straightforward. After thinking, she said, "You don't have to forgive me. After all, it was my fault. In order to pay you back, I've decided to give you back t
What Remus thought of was Max's connection with the Lotus family. He also had a good understanding of Centurio. Therefore, he could ask who the old man and young man who tried to assassinate Jean were. He could get an answer while making Jean happy. "Really?" Max looked surprised. It was obvious he didn't think Remus would agree. "Of course. Do you think I'm joking? You can leave now. I have something to talk to Jean about." Remus still didn't show him any respect. Of course, Remus wouldn't ask that question when Jean was here. She hadn't regained her memory yet, and he refused to stimulate her further. "Erm—" Max blushed again and thought Remus might be brushing him off. So, he looked to Jean for help. "Remus, a man must never go back on his words. You must not regret your decision." Jean laughed. She was shocked that Uncle Max, who was usually hot-tempered, would be so humble when facing Remus that he couldn't speak."Of course. I would never lie to you. If I agree, it means
Unless Remus wished to die! Soon, they came to Jean's bedroom. Remus quickly pulled the curtains, and the bedroom became dark. No light could seep in if they wanted to perform the fate-changing ritual. Some people would do it at midnight while the dead surfaced to the living world.Now was actually the perfect timing as the sun was about to set. Remus was excited and said, "Now, lay on the bed first and put your hands on your chest. Then, you just have to close your eyes."Jean was speechless and looked at Remus in doubt. Was it necessary to lay in bed and close her eyes to revive her memory? Why did she feel that it was strange? Remus knew it sounded weird, but that was the only way to do it. He lifted three fingers and swore. "Believe me, I will never lie to you. If I did, the thunder will strike me, and I'll—""Of course I believe in you." Jean smiled and didn't let him finish. Then, she took off her shoes and showed her smooth feet. She walked to the middle of the bed and la
After Remus finished speaking, the candles in the room flickered rapidly, and their flames became brighter. The candlelight on the bedside grew to twice its initial size. Although it was just a small blaze, it burned strongly. It felt as if they were in a fire pit. The glimmer from the Midnight Opal flickered while the Thunderstrike Wood was buzzing, and the sound of thunder rang out from within it. At first, Jean was doubtful of whether Remus could change her fate. In the next second, she could not see anything. It was as if the world was empty, and no one was around her. In this realm, it seemed there was no distinction between heaven and earth, southeast, west, or north. No one could differentiate between up and down or left and right. Then, a path appeared before her. It was a long and quiet path. There was no telling where it led. Just as Jean was about to walk forward, Remus appeared beside her. He held her hand tightly. "Let's go. I'll walk with you. You don't have to be a
Without overthinking it, Remus comforted her. "Don't worry. I'm here with you. You just have to grab onto me as tightly as you can!""Okay!" Jean nodded, but she was still trembling. Then, Remus brought her forward. The moment he took a step, the seven colorful beams around released a blue light that warped into a three-foot-long arrow. It was aimed at Jean.The arrow was moving so fast that Jean had no time to react. Shocked, Remus remembered that his master once said if one had to rewalk the Divine Realm, the biggest risk was outsiders breaking the formation! The second risk would be that the person who created this formation was not enough of an expert, resulting in a flawed formation. On the contrary, changing a person's fate wouldn't be challenging. So, why was the arrow pointed at Jean? Remus quickly took action and blocked the arrow. However, this only seemed to anger the remaining six beams, and they lunged at Jean simultaneously."Remus!" Jean's expression was livid. Remu
Remus could feel himself sliding down, but he didn't panic. Instead, he looked at Jean on the other side with a smile. He would do anything for his first love. He felt that it was all worth it. However, he missed his master. It had been three years, but he had not received any news about him. Remus was clueless about his master's whereabouts or what he was up to."Remus!" Jean saw him sliding down and cried. She wanted to save him, but there was nothing she could do. Just like that, she watched as his legs slipped into the river of blood. Soon, half of his body was immersed. Then, his chest, his neck, and half of his face.The blood river was about to swallow him. Suddenly, Jean felt as if her body was being pressed to the ground. At the same time, everything around her changed, and she was on the side of the cliff.On the opposite side, Remus fell to the ground heavily. There was a three-foot-wide, bottomless abyss between them with cold air flowing out from it. It turned out that
After Remus finished speaking, he felt someone slap him. The slap was so hard that he spun a few times before falling to the ground. "Presumptuous! I'm the Guardian of the Divine Realm. You're not worthy of seeing me!" A roar came from the sky. They could only hear a voice. They could not see who was speaking. Remus was surprised as he was just testing whether someone was truly above them. Then, he remembered that his Master mentioned the Guardian of the Divine Realm. However, the Midnight Opal was supposed to prevent the Guardian from noticing them, so how did the Guardian discover them? The Guardian was furious. "You're just an ordinary human. How dare you break into the Divine Realm and try to change someone's fate. Also, you dare to speak ill of me! How disrespectful! Why should I let you live if you don't know how to show respect? Jump off the cliff now and atone for your actions!" It was obvious he wanted to take Remus' life. When Jean heard that, she put her hands togeth
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
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
