On the ground, Remus slowly opened his eyes. The vast sky was reflected in his deep eyes. When Raymond met his gaze, he felt his scalp go numb and instantly had a bad premonition. Before he could overthink, his first reaction was to run.However, he had just taken one step when Remus waved out his hand. His force hit Raymond's back. With a loud crack, Raymond crashed onto Russel and the others like a kite that had lost its string. Everyone could see that his waist was distorted, and so was his spine. "Raymond!""Uncle Raymond!" "Sir Raymond!" Russel, Starry, Sunny, and the others looked on with wide eyes and quickly reached out to catch Raymond. The Cosby family members also called out nervously. That was their deputy leader, after all.Although they were concerned for Raymond, they quickly stopped themselves. They were astonished when they saw that the person standing on the lawn was Remus. Just moments ago, he had seemed to be on the brink of death!Jupiter and Plut
Remus gradually stood straight, and his breath became stable. Soon, his complexion returned to a state that was even better than when he had first entered the Cosbys' villa. He seemed to have risen from the dead, looking energetic. Looking at Jupiter, who fled a hundred yards away, he said, "You're knowledgeable. But it's too late!" As he spoke, he pressed his hand down and used Sonic Boom again. His force spread a hundred yards, ripping through the air and slamming onto Jupiter's body. In a second, Jupiter exploded into a bloody vapor. He hadn't even been able to make a noise before he disappeared into thin air. Everyone was shocked. While they had still been processing what Jupiter had explained, he was killed. Everything happened right before their eyes, and it was horrifying. The Cosby family's best fighter couldn't be killed, even after exhausting all his energy. The reality was that he was killed in one move, and nothing was left of him. Under the stunned gazes of t
Russel yelled, "Quick! Activate the curse formation! Do it now!"Everyone quickly bit their finger and dripped blood on the ground. In an instant, a buzz sounded from the mountain. Suddenly, the words on the rockery shone a golden light. At the same time, a halo appeared inside the ancestry hall, and it was bright.Remus subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He could tell this was a curse formation used to protect the entire family. The first condition to activate the formation was the family's blood. Next, the arrangement of the ancestral graves was the arrangement condition. The center of the curse was the midnight opal.The effect of the curse was similar to the curse Remus had arranged at the Imperial Villa. It would kill anyone who dared to enter. Therefore, Remus stopped. Russel breathed a sigh of relief then. He clenched his fist while shouting from inside the hall, "Bastard! I heard you're good at forming curses. If so, why don't you try barging into the Cosbys' curse form
Once again, the scene was quiet. No one in the ancestral hall dared to utter a single word, it was terrifyingly quiet. Everyone's heartbeat and breathing could be heard. Remus remained motionless, carefully observing the ancestral hall. It was vast, and there was a huge, mountain-like wall in front of him. 16 giant portraits were hanging on it, they were the ancestors of the Cosbys. Below them were the ancestral graves that were surrounded by the main members of the family. The Cosbys had been around for 18 generations, so there were thousands of tombs, each with a midnight opal in front of it. Right now, the lights were shaking, and the whole hall was bright. The more Remus looked at it, the deeper he frowned. He was unsure of what was happening. However, he wasn't the only one puzzled. Everyone in the Cosbys was curious about what was going on. They were shocked, confused, and scared. They felt like they were on the verge of breaking down. This formation was supposed to protect
The Cosbys were dumbfounded. Some even fainted when they saw what happened. As for Starry, he peed his pants out of shock. "Sunny!" Russel turned back in shock to find Sunny's lifeless body falling, and he could feel a sharp pain in his heart. Then, he looked at Remus and scolded, "Remus Cosby, I'll—""What are you going to do?" Remus interrupted. Russel was taken aback and paused. However, as the leader of the Cosbys, he had his pride and quickly continued, "I'm not sure what I'm going to do now, but I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. If there's an afterlife, I won't let you go peacefully."Remus waited for three seconds, and nothing happened to him. After that, he said, "You should beg that you'll have an afterlife!"When he finished, he raised his hand, ready to kill Russel. "Stop!" Suddenly, Starry spoke, and his teeth clattered from shock. Still, he mustered up the courage and said, "Remus, you can't kill my father, because you really are a Cosby."Once again,
Everyone's expression changed, including Russel. That name was banned in Darsia. That was because Rafael was the first person in Darsia to achieve the divine stage, and he was also the one who started the Kenington War. 30 years ago, he challenged everyone in Darsia just for a woman. Alone, he had wiped out half of the experts and half-step divine realm top grandmasters in Darsia. In the end, he disappeared and was presumed dead. "Rafael Cosby?" Remus asked. Weirdly, that name felt familiar."I-Impossible!" Russel said subconsciously. "Rafael died 30 years ago, and you're only 23 years old. How could you possibly be his son? Impossible!" From the timeline, it did seem impossible. However, Starry continued tremblingly, "If not, it would be Rafeal's father, the 17th family leader of the Cosbys, Ryan Cosby … But that doesn't make any sense. Ryan left the family 20 years ago and hid in the countryside. That's not possible either. Other than these two people, there's no one else."
Remus said calmly, "You asked me to be your subordinate and help you become the family leader. I've told you my answer. Now, I'm going to ask you. If I make you the family leader and in turn, you become my loyal dog, would you do it?" Suddenly, Starry felt shameful. Finally, he understood how ridiculous the words he said to Remus sounded. How could such a powerful man like Remus be his subordinate? It made more sense that he was the subordinate. Without any choice, Starry gritted his teeth and said, "I-I agree." Remus could feel the energy in his body rapidly draining. Then, he looked at the ancestral tombs before turning away. As he walked, he said, "Continue to investigate if there are other Cosbys that disappeared." Once he walked out of the ancestral hall, he exerted his force, leaped over the rockery, and disappeared. Then, the midnight opal dimmed as if they were sad that Remus left. As for the family members of the Cosbys, no one made another sound. …Outside the Cosb
The silence lasted for a few seconds before there was a burst of laughter outside the Cosby villa. Everyone was laughing hysterically, unable to believe what Starry just said. The Cosbys were the most prestigious family in Darsia, so even if Remus had some tricks up his sleeve, they didn't believe he would survive. Winston was the first to stop laughing as he said playfully, "Starry, this isn't funny. Not at all. The Cosbys have Jupiter and Pluto. Both of them are half-step divine realm top grandmasters. How could Remus possibly beat them? You must be joking!"Starry said seriously, "Jupiter and Pluto have been killed by Remus."The crowd laughed even louder. Then, Tristan laughed, "Remus Cosby did that? How is that possible? He took pills, and he's only a fake half-step. He couldn't even take Elmer's punch. Although Jupiter and Pluto are not in the top three, they have been half-steps for ages. How could they possibly lose? Just one of them could crush Remus to death." Starry re
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
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
