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
Jason had agreed to pay them a hundred times if Remus won. "Fuck off!" Jason was in a bad mood and wasn't in the mood to think about such things. If he paid Valerie, he would have to pay the others. The Hewalts were rich, but a dozen billion would cut off their cash flow and cause a financial crisis for the family. Furious, he shouted as he tried to leave, "I was just kidding. How could you believe that? Everyone was just playing. Get out of my way!" Valerie blocked his way and said indifferently, "Mr. Hewalt, you started a betting game with so many people. As one of the most prestigious family's leaders, you can't go back on your words. You have to pay me!"Jason was infuriated and shouted, "Are you deaf? I told you to fuck off! I don't have the money, you little bitch! If you dare block my way again, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want the money, ask your dad to get it from me! Let's see if he would dare to ask me for it!"Geoffry also stood up and said, "Uncle Hew
To put it simply, everyone in Darsia was shocked. They never expected that there would be someone who was capable of killing half-step divine realm top grandmasters after the Kenington War 30 years ago. What surprised them the most was that the most prestigious family in Darsia was wiped out so easily. It was also the same for the second most prestigious family that fell with them. All of a sudden, it was like a storm was brewing in Darsia, and many things started to change. Remus, who was the cause of all this, did not stay in Centurio. Nor did he return to Neptuna. It was because Jupiter was right. His martial arts skills would disappear once he had used the Seven Divine Needles. Whether he could get it back depended on cultivation. Therefore, Remus was an average human right now. It would be hard for him to even take down two grown men. That was why he had to go into hiding. If someone found out he had lost all his powers, they would take advantage of the situation and kill hi
Remus took the initiative and walked over. Then, he said, "Don't trouble him. I'm tired, take me back to our room! Carry me!" "Okay!" The lady in the wedding dress showed an embarrassed smile. After that, she gave Remus a piggyback ride and ran up the hill. The old man fell to the ground and looked at the scene in shock. Then, he slapped himself, asking, "Is he human or a ghost? If he's a ghost, how could he pee? If he's human, did he come here to find female ghosts? He even asked her to carry him to their room?" Before he could finish his train of thought, he fainted. On the other side, the lady in white walked across the mountain where all the tombstones were aligned. Soon, many ghosts appeared, dressed in their best outfits. They all looked pale. Hundreds of them stared at Remus with greed in their eyes. There was so much blood on Remus' body, it would give them a lot of energy. However, Remus ignored them and enjoyed the ride. He had exhausted all his strength coming over
At that moment, all the ghosts looked at Remus in shock. They were trying to guess Remus' occupation and were terrified as they looked at the gold light in his hand. All of them felt like they would dissipate just from being exposed to the light. The ghosts wanted to run, but there was a huge pressure on their bodies that was pressing them to the ground. "W-Who are you?""What are you trying to do?" "Sir, I'm sorry. I've never harmed anyone before. I was just joking with you. Please forgive me!"Soon, cries started surrounding the mountain, causing the trees to sway. From an outsider's point of view, it looked eerie. "Ahem!" Remus coughed. Then, he shook his head helplessly. Without the help of martial arts, his body was so weak that he coughed after dealing with just a few thousand ghosts. "Shut up!" Remus ordered. Immediately, the ghosts stopped crying. Instead, they looked at the lady in white, blaming her for bringing back a monster. The lady in white was also in tear
It wouldn't be too late to take revenge, even if it was a hundred years later. They would wait for him in the underworld. "Human, how dare you behave atrociously at the graveyard. Prepare for what will happen next!""I'm excited to beat you up! Hahaha!""I want to suck your blood—" As the ghosts spoke, the underworld guard had walked to Remus' side. Then, the lady in white pointed at him and complained aggrievedly, "He's the one who ridiculed me!"The underworld guard was furious and shouted, "Wizard, how dare … Remus Cosby?" At first, the underworld guard had a fierce demeanor. When he realized it was Remus, his tone changed as if he had seen a monster. Even his figure shrunk humbly. The ghosts were shocked when the underworld guard called out Remus' name. Did these two people know each other? Remus was also surprised. "You know who I am?" Seeing that his guess was right, the underworld guard shivered in fear. "Of course I know who you are. To be exact, everyone workin
It turned out to be the deceased Cosby family members! And the person in the lead was Russel. Beside him were Raymond, Sunny, Jupiter, and Pluto. How could there be such a coincidence?Seeing Remus, Russel couldn't help but laugh hysterically. "Hahaha! I can't believe it! I really can't believe it! You're dead! Let me guess, did the Hewalts and the other families team up to kill you?" Raymond laughed, "You useless bastard. The Cosbys gave you a chance to enter the family and gave you a chance to live. But what did you choose? Look at what you've gotten yourself into! You deserve to be killed by the Hewalts." They were happy that Remus died. If he were still alive, he would be respected by the world and could enjoy endless glory. It would make them feel extremely aggrieved to know that. But now, Remus was also dead, which meant he had nothing.Remus was silent and continued queuing up. He didn't want to catch any attention or stir up trouble. The most important thing right now was
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
