"Winston, why should you be angry because of that useless bastard?" A voice sounded from the door. Soon, a young gentleman in a custom-made suit walked in. His gaze was inexplicably scary. This was the successor of the Lotus, Wallace Lotus. Behind him was an old man with an arched back, he looked wrinkly. He was Darsia's top three martial arts expert, Gerald. When Winston saw him, he didn't look like a senior who had met his junior. Instead, he rushed over and greeted him respectfully. "Wallace, how could I not be worried? Although rumors have it that Remus is useless, we haven't made a confirmation. It's easy for him to kill me now that we know he's a half-step." Wallace smiled. "You're right. We should solve this problem as soon as possible. Even if he has lost his martial arts skills, I would feel disgusted if he were to appear five days later. We should deal with this immediately and think about the steps to take right now." Winston nodded, asking, "Wallace, what's your pl
When Jean heard that there were five days left, she was stunned. After being imprisoned, she had no idea if it was day or night. Therefore, she was clueless about the days that had passed. Who would've thought there were only five days left?"Wallace, I'm not going to get married. Please. I don't want to get married. I would rather stay in prison forever than get married." Jean cried as she couldn't bear sleeping with another man. The only man she cared about was Remus. Wallace looked at Jean in disgust. He never liked his sister since they were kids, as he felt she could not bring any benefit to the family. All she was to him was a decoration.He sneered, "Sure, you can choose to not get married. I'll just kill Javier in front of you, I'll cut him into pieces. Can you handle that? If you can, you don't have to get married." Jean fell to the ground in despair. She knew Wallace would do what he said. Since they were kids, he had secretly abused her countless times. So she cried, "
Moreover, he wasn't sure about Kylie, Miranda, and Seraphine's current condition. He was worried about them. Glinda stopped and said coldly, "I've not even said a word about you being slow, yet you're complaining? I would've abandoned you in the woods if you didn't save me."Remus shook his head. "I'm not complaining that you're slow. I'm saying we need to find a way to get there faster." Otherwise, they would be late. Hearing that, Glinda said, "What else can we do? You're just a normal herb picker. Can you fly over there? No? Then just walk faster. Don't irritate me while I'm still being patient with you. I really might kill you if I feel like it." Remus didn't know martial arts but could see one's lifeblood, so he should be good at medicine. Therefore, Glinda took him as a herb picker. Suddenly, Remus was agitated, "That's right. We can fly over. Ms. Sky, please carry me and leap over there. We can reach there faster." Walking in a straight path in the air could save them m
They were surrounded by lush greenery, and the lawn was at least two acres wide. The flowers were in full bloom, and butterflies fluttered around. It gave off a peaceful vibe.Looking up, she could only see the mist covering the sky. It was as if a cloth had covered the dozen mountains surrounding the lawn. Most importantly, it felt weirdly peaceful. "Something isn't right." Remus frowned as he observed the surroundings. This should have been a new mountain terrain, but it was flat. There wasn't water here either. It was a weird sign. "What's your purpose for coming here?" Glinda finally asked. She didn't bother asking before because she was on the run anyway. Remus was blunt with her. "Have you heard about the fortune fruit?" "No. I don't know much about medicine. Can you find it here? If you don't see it, we should leave. I don't feel comfortable here." Glinda looked around carefully as she felt someone was staring at them and would attack at any time. However, this feeling
"Two!" Glinda continued to countdown and said, "I'm a witch. I don't follow the rules."Yvette started sweating. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "I will avenge my master. Even if I die!""One!" The moment Glinda finished counting down, she exerted her inner force. Before she could attack, Yvetter widened her eyes in shock and quickly retreated, scared that she would be killed.At the same time, another voice sounded, "I had some hope for you, believing you weren't the one who killed your master. I can't believe you would even kill your sister. I'm disappointed in you." Another figure appeared, and she was also in a white robe. However, she looked older, around her 50's."Madam Selina!" Glinda called out, and her eyes reddened. In the Jade organization, Selina Jade doted on her, only second to her master."Shut up!" Selina scolded, "Your master cared for you since you were a child and treated you as her own. She even planned to give you her place, but you killed her! How co
Remus was currently an average human, so he was thrown into the air when the sword energy hit him. Then, he fell heavily to the ground. "Run! You still have hope if you live. Go!" Remus shouted the moment he fell. After that, his expression was twisted due to the excruciating pain. Selina and Yvette looked over at him and were shocked. They had overlooked Remus as he was just a normal human, thinking he was just passing by. Although they could have partners in the True Life organization, they would never be with a mundane. When did Glinda meet him?Glinda opened her eyes and stared at Remus in disbelief. He had just taken the knife for her. Was he crazy? Remus didn't think too much and anxiously reminded her. "Run! Do you wish to die? Are you a fool?" "Witch! How could you find a normal human as your partner? It's a humiliation not only to True Life, but you're embarrassing the Jade organization as well!" Yvette shouted in anger. This situation was like a rich lady looking for a
The mist above seemed to be slashed away, and the ground shook. Glinda knew they were doomed when she heard the technique used. All she could do now was to endure the hard force. Therefore, she exerted all of her inner force and created another protection barrier. There was a huge explosion when the sword's energy collided with her spirit energy. Both forces dispersed, and the mist in the sky was instantly blown away. With that, the sun shone directly on the lawn.At the same time, there was a rumble, and the ground shook again. In a blink of an eye, Remus and Glinda disappeared. Instead, there was a huge pit in the area from where they were standing. A cold vapor billowed into the air. The lawn was frozen, and so were the butterflies. Selina and Yvette shuddered from the cold. Yvette ran toward the pit and looked down. She was in shock as it was pitch black and bottomless. Then, she turned to look at Selina. "Madam Selina, you're already so powerful?" She created a huge pit wit
Glinda didn't understand what he was talking about. Still, she covered the injury on her chest and staggered toward the direction he went. Although her injuries weren't deathly, her inner strength had been exhausted. Therefore, she was weak. Remus looked like he was in a lot of pain, but there was excitement in his eyes. With that, both of them hobbled over. Soon, they found the water source. It was a small stream, but Remus was still excited.The stream might be small, but it was still an underground river, meaning the water dragon was here. After all, if the water dragon was in slumber, perhaps when it awakened, it would cause the current to become huge. "It's cold. But it's weird that the water didn't turn into ice." Glinda found it strange as they walked. When they fell down, she didn't notice the temperature change. Now, she couldn't help but shiver. Remus was currently a normal human, and he was heavily injured, so he was also shivering from the cold. Frost even started t
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
