Remus pushed the door open and stepped in. "Go away!" As soon as the door was opened, a deafening roar came from inside. An old man, with disheveled hair and sunken eye sockets, was lying there on the bed. He was covered in blood. He looked like a madman, but beneath his two pitch-black brows were a pair of captivating eyes.It was indeed Senior Baker, Goetz' superior. He had been tied up by Hanson to prevent him from hurting himself; the injuries on his body were all self-inflicted.Senior Baker angrily shouted, "Who are you? Get out of here, or I'll kill you right away! No, I'll blast you with a cannon!"He didn't want anyone, especially outsiders, to see him in such a state.Remus walked over to him and placed his hand on his pulse, saying calmly, "If Goetz hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come even if you had a nuclear bomb."Senior Baker's eyes widened in anger, "You ... you dare to mock me, little brat? Goetz, get in here, take him away immediately, now, or I'll kill you
The bowl of flower juice was too frightening! It looked like poison!Before he could finish his words, Senior Baker interrupted firmly, "I'll drink it! I'm not afraid of guns and bullets, why would I be afraid of a bowl of medicine? Give it to me!"Senior Baker looked outside the door and prepared to drink the medicine despite feeling uneasy.At that moment, a shout came from outside the door."You can't drink it!"Then, an old man dressed in azure robes with a goatee entered the room."Dr. Marley?""Dr. Marley?"Everyone was surprised by his arrival.It was Stone Marley, the chief doctor of the National Medical Pavilion, also known as "Eight Needles" because he only needed eight needles to treat any type of illness. Senior Baker's illness was initially treated by him, and it did show some improvement, but later the condition became worse, and he was helpless. He was the one who diagnosed it as a bizarre illness."Dr. Marley, you finally came. Please take a look. Can this med
"I …"Dr. Marley was frozen in place, and he had no solution. But seeing the looks in their eyes, he nodded and said, "Let me try!"As he spoke, he took out a silver needle.…Goetz arrived at the alchemy room and sighed when he saw Remus still preparing the medicine. He slowly uttered, "Remus, let's go.""Huh?" Remus was startled. He saw that they were the only ones in the room. He also noticed the unpleasant expression on Goetz's face, so he asked in surprise, "Has Senior Baker not recovered yet?"There was no way.The prescription should've got rid of his illness completely.Goetz revealed an awkward smile. He didn't want to say it, but after being questioned repeatedly by Remus, he finally revealed the truth.Remus' face immediately turned serious as he sneered. "Let me guess, those people probably think I have bad intentions. And if I guessed correctly, Senior Baker is probably suffocating right now.""Uh ..." Goetz nodded. How did Remus know?Remus continued, "The Bake
Everlasting Revive Needle?The Baker family members didn't understand, but they could see the effects. Seeing Dr. Marley's reaction, it seemed to be an extraordinary acupuncture technique. Dr. Marley voluntarily explained, "This is the legendary acupuncture technique called the Everlasting Revive Needle. To this day, people believed that the historical figure, Lady Yarna, was revived after being killed by her husband. This was the technique used to revive her."Everyone was stunned, amazed by the legendary acupuncture technique.Dr. Marley said between gritted teeth, "To be honest, historians couldn't confirm whether Lady Yarna was alive or dead because there was no way to prove that this technique actually exists! I only managed to find the recipe with only six needles on it. My friend who was a historical researcher asked me to recover the last two needles, but even after experimenting for twenty years, I couldn't find it. Never did I imagine that one day I would actually witnes
Hanson was completely shocked as he exclaimed, "It's that incredible?"Dr. Marley nodded heavily, "That's just a low-grade pill. The one Dr. Cosby has mastered is a top-grade pill. One of these pills would probably be enough to make Senior Baker feel as energetic as a young man!"The Baker family members were completely dumbfounded.What kind of person did Goetz bring here?Hanson became extremely excited and his body started trembling like never before. If anyone saw him like this, their jaws would drop. After all, he was the top figure in Centuria!Hanson walked up to Remus and said solemnly, "Mr. Cosby, I'm deeply grateful for your great kindness. I will never forget it. Thank you, Mr. Cosby!"The Baker family collectively bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cosby!"Remus casually placed a pill into his mouth, as he also needed some rejuvenation.Nonchalantly, he said, "Don't be shameless. The Resurrection Pill isn't for you. I'm just borrowing your alchemy room. It's all for my
As the door opened, only then did she notice that the private room was full of people.They were all young men. They looked over to the source of the sound and their eyes widened when they saw Miranda. She was truly beautiful!"Um …" Miranda was surprised. She initially thought it would just be a private dinner, so she never expected so many people to be there. And they were all men, making her even more uncomfortable.When Gemma saw their expressions, she was delighted. As long as they took a liking to Miranda, everything would fall into place easily."Come, Miranda, don't be shy." Gemma pulled Miranda into the room and found her an empty seat. Miranda wished to leave, but since she was already there, it would be impolite to leave immediately. So, she could only take a seat for now."Let me introduce you."Gemma said proudly, "This is Stewart Long from the Long family. He's one of the seven major families of Darsia. He's the eighth descendant of the Long family. His grand-uncle
"I don't mind being friends with everyone, but there wouldn't be any other sort of relationship between us," she said. Talking about her engagement was just to divert the topic. But it was also related to the topic. Tomorrow, after her period ends, they'll be together, just like a married couple. In all honesty, she was nervous and felt a bit uneasy. "That scumbag hasn't even proposed yet!" She thought. But thinking that this was how modern couples usually are, she's come to accept it."Oh ..."Everyone looked at Gemma simultaneously and thought, "Wasn't she single? Why does she have a fiance?"Gemma's face tightened, visibly annoyed. "Are you kidding? Is it worth it for that scumbag? Any of these men here today can leave Remus in the dust! I'm doing this for your own good. Why don't you understand?"Gemma had set up such a good plan, and yet Miranda still had to mention Remus. It was too disrespectful!Miranda could sense Gemma's displeasure. But still, this was Centuria. Althoug
Their intentions did not match, so there was no point for them to dine together."What are you doing?" Gemma quickly grabbed her arm. Everyone was having a good time, so how could she let her leave?Miranda replied in a low voice, "It's already dark outside, and Remus might be worried if I stay out too long. Besides, I'm tired after a long day, so I need to go back and rest. Remus is still waiting for me!"Her meaning was clear; she wanted to go see Remus."Tch." Gemma sneered, "Why bother looking for that scumbag? All he knows is how to act cool, nothing else. Miranda, let me tell you, this is your chance today, you must seize it. Many girls wished they could be introduced to Warly and the others, but I wouldn't even give them this chance!"After finishing her words, she displayed an upset look.The others didn't seem to mind either. Even if Miranda kept mentioning that man, it wouldn't change the fact that she was a virgin."Ms. Malin!" Miranda's face turned cold as she added
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
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
