Ambrose spoke emotionlessly, "Just as you mentioned, in True Life, it's all about strength and connections. I won't even bother to provide you with a reason. What can you do about it?"Not a soul dared to make a sound. Remus furrowed his brow, instinctively glancing toward the Curse beyond Violet Sanctum. He wondered if this decision had anything to do with the statue? But he was sure that he had sensed no goodwill from the statue's gaze.He stepped into the room and with a sweep of his hand, he tossed the alchemists' bodies out. Whether it was goodwill or malice, nothing could stop him from saving Glinda.Meanwhile, the statue's eyes opened once more. It murmured, "Master Graves' kindness has not been forgotten, but we simply couldn't afford to bear the consequences of going against him. Who is he?"It slowly shut its eyes after speaking.…"Do you truly hold me in your heart?" Silver pressed, half of her face was swollen. "Have you been deceiving me, claiming to love me for all
Remus was sat cross-legged on the square, positioned just under half a mile from the Devil Gate.Apart from him, nearly a hundred cultivators and disciples from various organizations were also seated in meditation on the square. They had the opportunity to enter Violet Sanctum because of the Witch-Slaying Summit, so naturally, they couldn't afford to miss the precious chance to absorb the abundance of spirit energy."This can't be!" Remus' expression grew solemn.The night provided sufficient cover, shrouding everything in darkness. But there was no one around the Devil Gate. If anyone were to approach, the two guards would detect them immediately.Remus could silently take them down, but using spirit energy would alert the covert operatives of Violet Sanctum. To avoid detection, he had to subdue the guards without using spirit energy."They could be easily subdued with martial arts. The only issue is the crowded field, making it challenging to go unnoticed." Remus was still consi
Remus rapidly surveyed the interior of the Devil Gate. The interior was just like that of the Shadow Gate and there was no sign of a curse.He stood at the center of the area and gave the ground a solid knock. As he suspected, it was hollow.He hurriedly moved the bluestone aside. Right after, a similar sight from the Shadow Gate greeted him but instead of an abyss, there was a staircase.Remus entered immediately. He descended for about two miles and a corridor came into view. On both sides of the corridor were pitch-black rocks, emitting a cold aura.He walked for a while longer, and he finally came across cells on both sides, but they were all vacant.He headed straight for the innermost part of the prison, and saw a person confined in the cell on the left. The individual was covered in wounds, and the blood on their clothes had already dried. She was lying on the ground, her breathing faint and incredibly weak.That person was none other than Glinda Sky.Upon witnessing the
Upon uttering the name of Remus Cosby, Silver herself was taken aback. She couldn't believe that the person standing in front of her was none other than Remus Cosby.In Silver's perspective, Remus was nothing more than an ant. He couldn't possibly have been Master Tanjen, let alone dared to enter Violet Sanctum. But among the people she knew, only Remus Cosby fit all the criteria.Remus' heart sank to the ground. He had been pretending for a few days, and he didn't expect to be recognized in the end. However, he absolutely couldn't admit it as Glinda's condition couldn't withstand any further disturbance or fighting.He chuckled again, "Silver, what are you talking about? I don't know Remus Cosby. Who is he?""Shut up!" Silver interrupted angrily, her tone icy, "Do you take me for a fool? I couldn't find you in the mortal realm, and yet you willingly come to Violet Sanctum to meet your doom. You really have quite the audacity! Tonight, I will dismember you a thousand times over to
Remus' knees tensed, and he surged toward Silver. His figure moved like a phantom in the midst of the night.An ear-splitting noise reverberated within the Devil Gate, causing the walls to tremble.Remus' entire body had already broken through the sound barrier, astonishingly reaching Deity Realm's speeds. Without a moment of hesitation, he continued his charge toward Silver.Silver had reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Stage and was no ordinary individual. As she saw Remus charging toward her, she sneered, "Crafty scoundrel! I knew you wouldn't obediently kneel. I've been on guard against you too–"Before she could finish her sentence, Remus sped up once more.He reached an unprecedented speed in his life, hurtling at a staggering 1.5 times the speed of sound. He was keenly aware that he had only one chance. Allowing Silver to counter would undoubtedly raise the alarm about his infiltration, leaving them with no chance of escape.A glint of panic flashed in Silver's eyes as
The next morning."Master Calsberg, you have talents that are truly exceptional, a mind that is rarely matched throughout history. I was wrong!""Master Calsberg, we were all momentarily blinded. You are the unparalleled genius of Alchemy.""Master Calsberg, I am willing to offer 3 rare demonic beast inner pills as a plea for your forgiveness!"A tumultuous noise echoed from outside Room 1. There was a group of people kneeling, and at the forefront was Chase Fowler, who had led the way in buttering up Master Graves yesterday.They were genuinely worried that Remus might retaliate against them.Prominent organizations may not fear the Tanjen Organization. However, small organizations are fundamentally insignificant to Tanjen, especially after Medicine Valley had suffered a significant setback. Members of True Life have more to seek from their alliance with Tanjen.If Remus offered a bounty of pills to get revenge on them, a multitude of independent cultivators, small organization
Remus turned his attention back to Glinda. He said slowly, "I was only joking. I saved you because I wanted to, not to hold it against you. Please, tell me what you just saw and I'll take care of everything."While he did indeed desire Glinda, a true gentleman would not take advantage of someone's vulnerability, let alone threaten them.The moment he finished speaking, her clothing suddenly slipped off, leaving her standing completely naked in front of him."What?" Remus felt his blood start to flow faster throughout his body. He could barely control the desire surging within him.After a series of inner struggles, rationality ultimately came out on top. This matter was extremely significant for any girl, and he couldn't let her feel wronged.He turned around and prepared to leave. "There are matters I need to handle outside."He was about to go out and see what exactly was happening. He wanted to know the reason behind Glinda's sudden change.However, as he took a step forward,
In Earl's perspective, Silver was nothing but one of his many lovers, devoid of any genuine affection. However, despite this apparent detachment, she had made a promise to resist Remus' advances. Yet, here she was, entangled in forbidden contact inside the room.Her actions were a blatant insult, causing everyone to ridicule him. How could he not be furious?A disciple suddenly approached from the side and reported, "Deputy Holmes, the representative from the Gresun Organization has arrived!"Earl paid little attention to the independent cultivators or small organizations. However, when it came to representatives from the six major organizations, he still felt the need to personally welcome them and uphold the responsibilities of a gracious host."Got it!" Earl gritted his teeth, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze.He took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions, comforting himself to not dwell on it.As he prepared to leave, a group of cultivators, dressed in sky-blue robes with m
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
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
