Jake, the 216 grandmasters, and the Gracefields were shocked. Most wizards knew how to predict a person's luck or fate, some knew how to communicate with the dead, and some even knew how to borrow lifespan or control a person's soul.Those with higher abilities could borrow the elements from heaven and earth to create a shadow, but before them were huge snakes and a huge dragon. All of them were in despair as the years of effort they had put into their crafts were nothing compared to what Remus and Jim could do. One minute had passed, and it was still a tie. Remus continued chanting while Jim continued to wave his hands. Jim's forehead was already covered in sweat as he looked at Remus with a wretched expression.Jim had been in hiding for years and only appeared when there were important matters to take care of, such as to maintain his reputation as the most powerful wizard. However, he mostly wished to remain undisturbed. Moreover, he hadn't had a good opportunity to show himse
Jake, Greg, the 216 masters, and the people of Lenzbay saw Jim fall from the sky. Remus had defeated Jim. Everyone was in disbelief, thinking that Jim was surely planning a counterattack. After all, Jim was the top wizard in the motherland of wizardry, Lenzbay. Although he was able to create two huge water snakes, he lost. The whole city of Lenzbay was silent. Everyone looked up at the figure in the sky in fear, but they also had a sense of respect for him."You call that the top wizard of Lenzbay?" Remus was indifferent as he continued, "I didn't have any plans on fighting you. We would never have come into contact if you didn't challenge me, so don't blame me for your death." When Remus finished, Jim smashed onto the ground right before Jake. At that moment, Jake was in despair. If Jim couldn't stop Remus, who could?"M-Master Steele, are you okay?" Jake's voice trembled."Master Steele!" The other masters called out while some cried. The others were shocked and in despair. Le
The people were shocked as they looked over at the voice. It turned out to be Master Steele who was speaking. Wasn't he dead?The martial arts and wizardry masters called out in shock, "M-Master Steele?" Puzzled, Remus looked over. This was the first time he had encountered someone so brave. Jim slowly opened his eyes and got up from the ground. His face was covered in blood, his clothes torn, and his hair was a mess. Although Jim looked disheveled, he still had a majestic temperament. He put his hand behind him and said, "Remus Cosby, did you really think you can beat me? No one in this world can defeat me! No one!" After a pause, he shouted, "Not even the heavens can win against me. I'm the king of this land! Me, Jim Steele! The one and only king!! No one can beat Jim Steele!" As he finished, he leaped into the air. His skin dried up in the process, and the color drained from his face. Everyone could see that his hair turned white in the process. When he was at the same leve
Remus spurted a mouthful of blood, and his hands started to tremble. It felt extremely heavy, as if he was trying to hold up the weight of the sky. He wouldn't have stood a chance against such a huge suppression if he wasn't on the ground. Master Wanfumpus rolled his eyes before shouting, "Master Steele is amazing!" "Master Steele! You're amazing!" "Master Steele is truly the most powerful wizard in Lenzabay!" The others quickly praised him as they could see that Remus was at the end of the crossbow. There was no chance he could come out of this alive. Jake stumbled out of the house. Hope filled his eyes when he saw the scene, even his complexion was ruddy. He quickly said, "Master Steel, if you can kill that presumptuous bastard, my family will forever pay our respects to you!" The Gracefields were also shocked. Greg sighed, "Master Steele is terrifyingly powerful." Back at the scene, Jim ignored everyone and said calmly, "You're still on your feet, huh? Not bad. It's a
Master Wanfumpus kneeled on the ground and sincerely said, "Master Steele, you're not only the top grandmaster of Lenzbay, you're the most powerful wizard in Darsia! Congratulations on becoming the wizard king!" "Congratulations on becoming the wizard king!" Jake followed and quickly bowed to show respect. Back at the Gracefields, Greg was shocked and had mixed feelings. Although he had wished for Remus to die, he was Sera's fiance after all. He was unable to accept Remus' death.Jim placed his hand behind him, his white hair fluttering in the air as he looked up at the five-element pillar and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a very long time." Suddenly, there was a strange crack. A crack appeared on the pillar. Soon, the cracking sound increased, and more cracks formed. Everyone was looking at the situation curiously. After three seconds, there was a huge explosion and the pillars collapsed. Following that, the skies turned sunny, and the ocean was silent.When th
The world was silent, and the people outside the villa dared not make a sound. They were even scared to breathe. Everyone watched as Remus walked up the mountain and wondered if he was really human. Finally, Remus reached the villa and stared at Jake. "Are you done now? Or do you still have an ace left? Let's get it over with!" Jake couldn't handle the pressure. He kneeled and begged, "Kill me! Please kill me! I'm sorry, just take my life!" He would rather die than be disappointed over and over. It was too much of a torture for him. Remus kicked him into the villa. Although Remus was gone from sight, the 216 masters outside the villa dared not move. It was simply because Remus had ordered that no one was allowed to move. …Back at the Gracefields' Villa at Centurio, Greg panicked as he didn't want to die. "Quick! Get everyone! We'll depart to Neptuna immediately and ask for forgiveness once Remus returns!" …At Lenzbay, the people came out of their houses when they saw th
Miranda and the others looked over at Jean. Since the first wife had spoken up, they had to show support no matter the result. They followed, "Let's bet!"Glinda showed a bright smile. Remus had been ordering her to do chores around the house. She would've left if she wasn't waiting for him to cure her block meridians. She was excited just thinking about how Remus would look when he found all his fiancees were taking care of her needs. She said, "Deal! None of you can go back on your words. I don't believe that bastard is out there doing something other than deceiving women." Just as she finished speaking, there was a shout from outside, "Kneel!"Seraphine was standing by the window, so she looked out. When she saw the scene, she rushed out. "Dad? Auntie Snow? Why is everyone here? What are you guys doing?"Everyone from the Gracefields was here. Greg was at the forefront, kneeling while half-naked, with spiky twigs tied on his back. "We're waiting for Remus' return. We're hopin
Remus narrowed his eyes. "How dare you threaten me!"Horrified, Master Wanfumpus quickly waved his hands. "No! Master Cosby, I've never thought about threatening you. I-I'm just trying to get your favor. I want to live! Please don't kill me!" Remus' current state wasn't great, but Master Wanfumpus dared not resist him even though he could feel that Remus was about to faint from exhaustion. Remus looked over at Jake and felt it was too easy to kill him so simply. So he said, "What are your plans?" Master Wanfumpus saw a glimmer of hope and said, "We'll treat him the way he treated others. We can take out his Luck and put it on you. He will never be able to go to heaven, and he'll rot in hell. It would be a good punishment." Luck was like a blessing that had different meanings to many. Some felt lucky to have wealth, while others were happy to be surrounded by family. Many were fated to be lucky, while some acquired Luck through their actions. Remus wasn't excited about that i
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
