Remus smirked, "You woke up right on cue. Were you stirred by them? You could pretend ... Uh, I mean, ease back into slumber for a little while longer, hehe.""You ..." The flush of anger deepened on Gabriela's face. She wriggled free and descended on her own, seething internally, "This man is astonishingly candid, utterly oblivious to charm!"Gabriela retreated two steps, and stood behind Remus. Her appearance was stern as she spoke, "You have become the great hero, the sole force that brought down an entire nation, a deity avenging Darsia's blood-soaked grievances. I can't steal your spotlight."Remus casually said, "I wasn't doing it for them."Gabriela instinctively asked, "Then who were you doing it for?""I did it all for you!" Remus declared.Upon hearing this, Gabriela experienced a sensation akin to a gentle spring breeze caressing her, profoundly soothing. She took back what she said earlier. In certain ways, he did possess a certain charm.After a while more, the wars
Remus looked down at the crowd of ten million people below. He took a moment to collect his thoughts on what he wished to convey. Then, a glint sparkled in his eyes, and he turned to Gabriela with a tender expression, asking, "Gabriela, will you marry me?"Kaiser was on the verge of such astonishment that he nearly choked in disbelief. In the midst of this momentous nationwide celebration, shouldn't he have delivered words to elevate the nation's morale? And yet, he had just proposed in public?A shiver ran down Gabriela's entire body, wishing she could actually faint. What on earth was he saying?The millions of people below were also momentarily stunned, then seemed to suddenly come to their senses."Marry him!" "Marry him!" "Marry him!" The voices of the people were monumental, and everyone turned their heads to look at Gabriela at the same time.Gabriela was so overcome with embarrassment that she wanted to jump into the sea. However, when she felt his tender gaze, a cho
Lincoln approached Kaiser. His brow furrowed, and he spoke in a hushed tone, "Sir Kaiser, by granting him such titles, you've only heightened his influence and prestige. Furthermore, Remus is too pretentious. Take what happened at the dock, for example – he didn't even wait for you before departing. I worry that one day he might become a potential threat ...""Chief Mccoy!" Kaiser interrupted once again, his voice strong and serious. He said, "Remember, Darsia has Remus and it's a divine favor upon our land. The rest need not be mentioned again!""But ..." Lincoln was still struggling to come to terms with it. He firmly believed in preparing for a range of possibilities, especially now that Remus and Gabriela had been bestowed with titles that granted them authority over the Military Department. This posed an incredibly precarious situation.Kaiser interrupted once again and said, "Go home and get some rest. I do wonder though, how will that person record this?"A dignified elder a
As the entire nation of Darsia simmered with excitement, families quaked in fear. Just as the Gracefields eagerly awaited at the Imperial Villa, another long-dormant family was closely monitoring the situation.It was none other than the once-mighty first family of Darsia, the Cosbys! Inside the ancestral hall of the Cosbys, the occupant of the central seat wasn't the family head, Starry Cosby. Instead, a woman of around 27 or 28 years old held that place of honor. She donned a sky-blue gauzy skirt, her countenance exuding arrogance, and her features bore an uncanny resemblance to the Cosbys.The woman was none other than Silver Cosby! Even though Remus had dismantled the very foundation of the Cosbys, no one had dared to challenge them for such a long time. This wasn't solely due to the Cosbys' deep-seated influence, but rather the formidable presence of Silver Cosby herself!According to legend, a True Life master descended from the mountains. With just one look, he discerned her
"Wait for confirmation of Remus' demise before sunset! Once you receive it, seek out Kaiser and get his acknowledgment. The Cosbys will once again shine brightly!"…Remus did not return to the Imperial Villa at all. Nor did he have any intention of doing so today, as he was determined to settle this matter outside before returning. Presently, he was within the confines of the Centurio Military Department, inside Gabriela's room."Eat this." Remus held a newly refined golden pill in his hand. After he had finished reading the alchemy book from the Tanjen Organization, he decided to resume his studies of alchemy. With his skills, the pills he refined were destined to be extraordinary.Gabriela's face tinged with a slight flush as she took the pill. This was her first time being tended to while lying in bed, and it was all happening in her own private room. Regardless of how severe her injuries were in the past, she would always retain her warrior nature.She said, "I'm not fully re
Upon hearing her soft moans, Remus could barely contain himself. It was but a single, ordinary utterance, but it was a sound he would have never heard from the War Goddess he was familiar with. There was no clang of steel, no boldness. At this very moment, she was simply a woman.Remus looked at her exquisite appearance. Her brows were like distant mountains, her lips reminiscent of flower petals, her nose gracefully arched, and her twin orbs resembled serene lakes.She was a pure beauty. He had only been paying attention to her title, and failed to truly observe her appearance. She was unbelievably stunning, beyond description. Remus delicately made the next move.But just at that moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition. He raised his hand swiftly, bit down on his finger, and drew a line of the Order of Nine Mysticisms symbols with his blood."What's happening?" Gabriela asked, her eyes slowly opening with a touch of astonishment, noting his delayed reaction."Someone is breach
Would Silver's revenge potentially include the innocent?"Two!" Silver's eyes regarded them like insects, showing no emotional fluctuation.Seraphine also looked up and claimed, "Silver, Remus truly hasn't come back. He's not here!""One!" As Silver's words fell, an explosion of spirit energy surged outward, signaling her imminent attack.Then, the door was pushed open once again. Glinda staggered out and was pressing on her throbbing temples. She inquired, "Why is my head pounding so fiercely? Are any of you also suffering from such a headache?"The four women stood unmoved, seemingly deaf to the world. Given the hostility between Remus and the Cosbys, Silver would definitely not hold back. The situation they're in was a matter of life and death. How could they possibly focus on giving a reply?"I'm asking you a question!" Glinda pressed. She glanced in their direction, only to find all their gazes fixed upward. Seeing them, she looked up as well.Just as her face was fully exp
Upon hearing Silver's question, Glinda's complexion immediately drained of color, turning her whole being pale. Had her cultivation not been disrupted, there was no chance she would have allowed her to escape so easily.Jean and the others were equally taken aback by her sudden return. She had only just left, so why did she turn around?Without giving anyone a chance to reply, Silver pressed on and asked again, "You truly aren't Glinda, but merely someone who bears her resemblance?""That's right!" Glinda tried to remain calm. "I'm completely unfamiliar with this Glinda you speak of. What brings you here? If it's not important, it would be best to leave for now. It's getting late, and we all need to rest!"Admitting to her true identity was absolutely out of the question as the consequences would be too much to handle. While she wasn't afraid of death, there was no reason for her to meet her end at the hands of such an insignificant person.Silver's gaze flickered, yet in her mind
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
