Burn them to death? Jean started to panic when she heard that. She wasn't worried for herself but for Remus. "No, please don't do that. I just want my husband to get treated. If you don't allow outsiders in, then we'll leave. Please, don't—" Remus' treatment couldn't be delayed as she could feel his breathing weakening. However, the chief shook his head. "Just give up. You should not have come to Scandovia Village.""Light the fire!" The chief gave the signal without hesitation. The villagers did as ordered and lit up the surrounding firewood. "No! We'll leave. We'll leave right away. Please!" Jean begged.However, the chief only looked at the scene indifferently. The villagers did not pity them but looked rather relieved about the situation. Soon, the flames grew bigger.Jean started to cough due to the smoke. She wanted to escape through the window, but everything was made of wood. At this point, the fire was huge outside as it had been burning for some time now. Just as s
Hearing the voice inside, the chief stomped his feet and said, "Forget it! We have to save them first. I'll bear the consequences. Quick! They will be burnt to death!""Chief!" Gova was agitated. "You can't do that. I believe they're from the Tanjen Organization! I'm sure—""Shut up!" The chief interrupted him. "Even if that's the case, it doesn't matter! Save them now! We can't just sit and watch as innocent people die! Hurry!"Many of the villagers who felt pity for Jean and Remus quickly got water from their huts. Soon, the villagers were working together, running over with buckets of water and trying to extinguish the fire. However, the hut was made of mud and hay, so the structure started to break as they poured water over the fire. Immediately, everyone stopped. The fire had already touched their bodies, so they thought it was useless to save them. The villagers stared at the scene for a few seconds. The old lady who spoke just now said in a trembling voice, "T-They aren't
"Chief, what do you mean?" "His body is cold. I can see that all his meridians have exploded. It was probably because he had too much power running through his veins. As a human, he should feel warm.""Could it be because of this coldness that both of them were unharmed?" The people surrounding them were curious about the situation. The Chief looked serious as he shook his head. "I've never felt such a weird pulse before. In the medical books I've studied, there's nothing like this. However, you might be right. It must have been the coldness that prevented them from being burned."After a pause, the Chief continued, "Now is not the time to discuss this. Let's take them to the hut. Prepare a medicinal bath. Otherwise, it would be too late."The villagers quickly carried Remus from the ground."Wait!" Gova was agitated. "Chief, if we give him a medicinal bath, what should we do when the people of the Tanjen Organization find out about this? If we don't tell them about him, we'll
"But I'm not in the underworld." Remus was sure, as he had been there a couple of times."Could this be … Heaven?" Most people would be sent to the underworld, and some would be sent to Heaven."Hello? Is anyone there? Can anyone guide me?" Remus shouted, hoping to get a reply. However, his questions were left unanswered. "Can I go back then?" Remus thought about the possibility. His master had taught him how to visit the underworld and how to walk the divine realm. However, all his spells needed him to be human, and he wasn't human right now.At the thought of that, Remus became upset. Then, he shook his head and uttered, "If Solomon was a fair man, I wouldn't have died." It was too late for any what-ifs now. Then, an idea popped into his mind. He saw his mother when he walked the divine realm. The guardian wasn't human, but his mother easily defeated him. Could he meet his mother here?"Mom? I'm Remus Cosby! Mom! Melody!" No one answered him and he looked even more disappoint
Back at Scandovia Village, an old lady brought over a bowl of oats and said, "Ms. Lotus, it's been two days since you came here. Why don't you eat something? You'll starve to death if you continue on." Only then did Jean shift her attention away from Remus, who was immersed in the medicinal herb bath. She looked at the old lady and said in a hoarse voice, "Patty, thank you but I'm really not hungry." Patty sighed. "Ms. Lotus, Mr. Cosby's injuries are serious, and he won't wake up anytime soon. It's not a good idea for you to wait like this. You're hurt as well. If Mr. Cosby wakes up, he wouldn't want to see you in this state."Jean's eyes reddened when she heard that, and she sobbed. "Patty, can you tell me how long it will take for Remus to wake up?"She stared at Patty for an answer. After a brief silence, Patty sighed. "It's hard to say. Mr. Cosby's meridians are all torn, and his energy can't flow through his body. All we can do is put him in this medicinal bath to maintain h
Soon, the villagers each carried a sack from their huts. Inside were medicinal herbs. Even the room Remus was in was opened up. Then, the villagers brought all their medicinal herbs and put them before Professor Calvert.Professor Calvert exerted his magic and lifted up all the sacks easily. Suddenly, his expression changed. "At least 3 ounces is missing!"The villagers couldn't help but shudder in fear while some started sweating. The Chief also breathed nervously. He had planned to just ignore it and let the matter pass. Who knew they would actually be exposed? He said nervously, "Professor Calvert, the rain hadn't been consistent this year, so the growth of the—" Before he could finish, Professor Calvert slapped him, causing him to spin three times before falling to the ground. There was blood in his mouth. Then, Professor Calvert stepped on the Chief's head and said, "Old bastard, the Tanjen Organization has been protecting you guys for years. Instead of being grateful, you
Everyone looked over to see Jean walking out. The villagers were shocked as the truth would be exposed, and there was no turning back. Meanwhile, lust crept into Professor Calvert's eyes. Jean's beauty also aroused the two men behind him. Patty asked tremblingly, "Ms. Lotus, why did you come out?" Jean walked over slowly and said, "Patty, it's because of me that the chief and Gova had to suffer. How can I hide in the dark and watch them get punished?" Then, she looked at Professor Calvert and said, "They are not at fault. I begged them for help, and they were kind enough to help me. I'll bear the consequences." Professor Calvert looked away and carefully thought about it. He knew everyone from Scandovia Village. The woman in front of him must not be from here. So he asked, "You're from outside?" Jean said humbly, "I'm from the Lotus family in Centurio. My name is Jean Lotus. If you need payment for the herbs, just tell me what you need and it will be done." Professor Calv
"I-I'll go back with you guys," Melody said before turning back to the soldiers. She seemed to have regained her energy, seeing that she got down from Rafael's arms.Then, she said, "I'm willing to be imprisoned, but you have to let Rafael leave!" This was the only thing they could do. If they were to fight them head-on, the soldiers might discover Remus. She would rather be punished, if it meant that her son's safety was guaranteed. The soldiers looked at each other after hearing that. They were surprised that she was suddenly surrendering and thought she might be hiding something. As for Remus, he finally realized what was going on. In his master's letter, he wrote that Remus' mother had been imprisoned. When Remus met his father in the underworld, he told him about this incident, but he didn't understand why his father had stormed off then. Now, he realized that his father came to save his mother. On the other side of the bridge were soldiers. Now that he had appeared, his mo
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
