When the guests saw this scene, they gasped in shock. Remus was too wild! He didn't show any sign of respect to the commanding officer and the provincial leader. There probably wouldn't be a second person like him in Neptuna.Was this fellow really someone who just came out from prison with no background?Was it possible that he is from the Cosby family, the top family of the country?Important families were known to have a tradition of sending their descendants to experience life under a different name. If he truly came from an ordinary background, how could he completely ignore the two of them?Among the crowd, Helix, dressed in a suit, smirked coldly as he thought, "Go ahead and act more arrogant. Let's see how long you can last. You'll be left in tears soon!"About ten minutes later, a dignified old man in a suit walked out from the side of the main hall. His hair was white but he still looked spirited. His lips carried a kind smile, but his eyes gave off an unfathomable feeli
Adrian also nodded and said, "That's right. Since Ronald is currently in seclusion for cultivation and is unable to leave, I will represent him today for Rufus' engagement!"As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in astonishment, their faces filled with shock."The Cox family and the Medicine Valley are forming an alliance? Doesn't that mean the Cox family will become the number one family in both provinces?""The Medicine Valley has always kept to themselves, but over the years, they have helped many who still owe them favors. As long as the Medicine Valley says the word, all those people would have to help the Cox family!""I heard that the Medicine Valley not only has alchemists, but they also have formidable experts. This is a powerful alliance!"Not only was the crowd shocked, even Max and Frank were surprised. They had gone to the Medicine Valley before to seek aid, but those people were too proud and didn't give them a chance. They couldn't even use their pri
In order to add respect to Jean's name, he not only had to unify the underground world, but also needed some achievements in the business world. He must have his hands on the Steele family's assets!Upon hearing his words, the atmosphere in the venue immediately changed, and everyone became nervous. This was the the head of Cox family. No one in Sturwad dared to defy his will."Hm?" Hill was also surprised and frowned as he looked at Remus. "Who are you?"His gaze sent shivers down people's spines. Helix quickly stepped forward and introduced, "Grandfather, this is Remus, who has been rising in prominence in Durwad. Yesterday at the banquet, he conquered all the Underground Kings in the province. He is now hailed as the Underground King of Durwad!"Many people had heard about this matter, so they were not surprised."Oh, I know you. You are quite remarkable indeed," Hill nodded slightly."However, my grandson-in-law has taken a liking to the assets of the Steele family. Let it go
Remus nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be waiting then. After the banquet ends, if the Cox family doesn't come find me, I'll come here myself!"After saying that, he turned around and left.The crowd broke into discussion upon witnessing the scene that unfolded before them."Remus truly doesn't know his place. He even dared to confront the head of the Cox family!""He's just an arrogant young man who thinks too highly of himself.""An exciting show awaits at the end of the banquet …"Adrian, who had been silent all along, spoke up nonchalantly, "Sir Cox, it seems that your family is not as formidable as you claim. There seems to be people who dare to oppose you. Hehe."Hill's face instantly turned red. "Apologies for the embarrassment. Every place has its share of fools. There will always be a few ignorant ones. But rest assured, I will deal with him shortly."Adrian nodded. "If you need assistance, I can lend a hand."Since they were about to form a marriage alliance, helping
Upon hearing this name, many people were stunned. They stared at him in disbelief."Gresham Goon, Mr. Goon, was the number one Grandmaster of Durwad thirty years ago. With him around, even Wyatt could only take second place!""Didn't he die? I even attended his funeral. How is he not dead? How did this happen?""From what he said, it seems like there's something else going on behind the scenes..."A commotion broke out among the guests. After all, Gresham was a legendary figure in his time. His reappearance after his death was truly shocking."What's wrong?" Remus asked Kylie in surprise after he noticed that something seemed off about her.Kylie firmly grasped Remus' arm as she trembled. She bit her lip and said, "My grandfather... is Hill's eldest brother!"Remus was suddenly taken aback. He had always thought Kylie was a distant relative of the Cox family, but he didn't expect them to be so closely related. Didn't this mean that Gresham was Kylie's archenemy?"Nonsense!" At
After saying that, he took a step forward.The main hall's roof shook, and dust drifted down from above. With just one step, the ground trembled, truly displaying his Grandmaster prowess.Hill shouted angrily, "Wilson, stop the nonsense and kill him!""Stop!" A voice suddenly came from the crowd.It was none other than Frank, and his face looked extremely unpleasant. Hill had already shown him no respect earlier, and now he wanted to kill someone right in front of him. How could he tolerate that?He angrily said, "If there's a conflict, you can talk it out. Don't resort to violence. If any accidents occur, I won't be lenient with you!"Max also stepped forward and said with a stern face, "Durwad is not somewhere you can resort to violence whenever you want!"Before the crowd could react...Hill stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly, "Gresham has insulted and humiliated me. How can I, as the head of the Cox family, tolerate that? If the two of you want to stop me
Hill's face was drained of color from the shock. He never expected that Gresham not only survived but also became so strong! Today, Gresham must not be allowed to live. If what happened in the past was revealed, his reputation would be tarnished. After thinking for a moment, he quickly turned around and said, "Elder, the only solution now is to ask for your help." He originally wanted to handle it himself to avoid being underestimated by the Medicine Valley. But now, there was no other choice but to seek his help.Cathy quickly hugged Rufus and said, "Husband, I am yours. He says he wants to kill my grandfather, but that means he wants to kill me too. I'm scared. Please help me." As she spoke, she even managed to force two tears out.Rufus remained expressionless, and he ignored what she said. Instead, he looked outside and saw that Kylie and Miranda were still there. His mood improved, and it was a good opportunity to display his strength in front of them. That would make it easier
An angry shout came from behind. It was someone from the Cox family. Many members of the Cox family were outside the door, and they happened to overhear him. Another person added angrily, "Do you think you can compare with their level? Don't think you're amazing just because you defeated Wyatt. Wyatt couldn't even last three minutes against Wilson!""You insignificant scoundrel, the Cox family will annihilate you today!"The guests also turned their attention to Remus. They just realized that Remus hadn't left. They thought he stood a chance against the Cox family, but they didn't expect the Cox family to have a top-notch fighter like Wilson, and above Wilson was Adrian!"He’s still not leaving. Is he waiting to die?" everyone thought.Max and Frank also approached him. Frank said solemnly, "Remus, you should leave first to avoid getting into trouble. The current state of the Cox family is not something you can handle.Max added, "Follow me to the War Department. No matter how p
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
