Oden erupted in laughter, standing confidently with his hands behind his back. His eyes dripped with disdain as he jeered, "Cunning brat, what other tactics do you have aside from offering your pills? Originally, I just wanted you to take down the notice and apologize to Crimson Valley. However, given your persistent arrogance, I've now chosen to confront you in your most cherished domain, leaving you completely exposed!"His imposing presence surged as he declared, "If you stand on the side of Crimson Valley today, you will be rewarded with a top-quality Energy-Replenishing Pill!"The hundreds of wandering cultivators were left agape and speechless.Morton, Reese, and the rest of the cultivators on Remus' side found beads of sweat breaking out on their foreheads. With both parties already evenly matched, any new conditions now could be the final straw. This solitary pill would undoubtedly upset the delicate balance of power."Count me in!""I'll join!""Let's do this!"Successi
Everyone was shocked as nobody foresaw Remus to be so assertive at this particular moment.Displaying no inclination for compromise, he was indeed preparing to confront Master Irving and even take on half of True Life."Master Calsberg …" Morven and Reese both attempted to persuade him. If he would humble himself, acknowledge his mistake, and endure a few blows, there was a possibility the matter could be resolved, particularly within the confines of Violet Sanctum."I understand your good intentions, but there's no need to persist. My decision is final!" Remus interjected. He had long observed Earl enjoying the spectacle from the shadows. While Earl refrained from direct interference, Remus was sure that he would step in should the situation escalate to a life-threatening point.Given that both Doug and Earl successfully enticed him back using the spirit stone and inner pill, it's evident that they had a favor to ask. While they haven't revealed the details yet, it's unmistakable
Seeing as Glinda was wearing Violet Sanctum's attire, the crowd exchanged puzzled glances. They all thought that Violet Sanctum was finally taking action to protect Remus."No one can protect the person I want to kill!" Oden's face darkened a few shades. He commanded, "Just do it!""Alright!" The cultivator at the Golden Core peak nodded. He raised his hand and stated, "Master Irving, please provide me with the pills first. Once I have the pills, I'll ensure his head is detached!"He had already decided to kill Remus and immediately make a run for it, so he wanted to ensure he got the pills first.Oden frowned and replied, "There aren't any now. I'll give them to you once the job is done. Don't you trust me? Hurry and get on with it!"These matters should be executed seamlessly. Being abruptly interrupted, Oden felt a sense of irritation.The cultivator hesitated for a moment and said, "I do trust you, and I trust Crimson Valley even more. It's just that the quantity promised by
The crowd hesitated in disbelief at the newly-presented fact. This time, the disclosure carried an even greater measure of astonishment and dread than the previous one, casting an eerie hush over them.While one person could fabricate a lie, when multiple individuals corroborated the same story, its reliability became highly probable.If what they said was true, it signified an earth-shattering event that reverberated throughout the entirety of True Life. Despite prestigious organizations not consistently showing respect to alchemists, the essence of maintaining amicable connections retained its significance. For individual cultivators and smaller organizations, alchemists were figures to be worshiped. The notion that Remus killed over a dozen alchemists and brought Medicine Valley to its knees was beyond everyone's expectations."It can't be, absolutely not!" Oden erupted angrily. Despite being a master at the Nascent Soul Stage, having already crossed the edge of celestial culti
Master Sky advanced swiftly while her disdainful expression was unwavering. She absolutely couldn't tolerate letting Remus have his way."'Fine!" Oden yelled, his fervor apparent, "You think you can stop me with just your numbers? Well, let's see who has the upperhand!"Behind him, there were indeed several hundred independent cultivators and small organizations providing support.He turned abruptly and said,"Who will you stand by?"Upon witnessing his gaze, the cultivators and organizations all trembled slightly.The next moment, they all knelt down in unison. They didn't look at Oden but directed their gazes toward Remus."Master Calsberg, I made a mistake. I was momentarily led astray.""I stand with you, and from this moment onward, I wholeheartedly support you!""Master Calsberg, please forgive us!"They suddenly had a change of heart and decided to fully support Remus instead.Witnessing this scene, Master Sky and the Crimson Valley disciples were left dumbfounded and O
Although Remus spoke softly, his voice echoed in everyone's ears, leaving a lasting impression.Remus' words were a breath of fresh air for Morven, Resee, Chase, and the hundreds of cultivators present. It indicated the end of the conflict and signified Master Calsberg's full appreciation.But for Oden, the disciples of Crimson Valley, and Master Sky, it was a harsh slap in the face. Remus' nonchalant words rendered them powerless to continue their hostility. The earlier outbursts of frustration, anger, and impulsiveness all ended with Remus' lofty and disdainful gaze.In the next moment, the crowd seemed to suddenly come to their senses and simultaneously turned their gaze toward Oden.Morden respectfully clasped his hands as he said, "Master Irving, thank you for your mercy. If you were to unleash your full strength, I would have undoubtedly suffered grave injuries. Now, if you could please, leave this place!"Though he speaks with courtesy, beneath the respect lay a heart bent
"I know. Just by looking at his son, I can tell he's also cunning and deceitful," Remus replied casually.Glinda was taken aback and questioned, "Gafar Irving?"Remus nodded calmly and said, "Yes. He was acting strangely at Tanjen a few days ago. After I drove him away, he lurked in the shadows and wanted to take revenge. But in the end, I killed him!""What?" Glinda was momentarily stunned. She found Remus Cosby's approach eerily familiar, similar to that of Remus Spark. Both shared the same style of cutting down their adversaries without leaving any potential threats behind.As Remus observed her momentary bewilderment, a trace of pride welled up within him. He didn't think that a single statement could briefly leave the formidable Glinda at a loss for words.He continued, "This isn't a good place to stay at. Let's leave Violet Sanctum!"The only reason he came here was to rescue Glinda. Having successfully accomplished that, there was no need for him to stay longer. Besides, t
Silver Cosby was in the Foundation Stage, unmistakably having a cultivation base. But Xavier had already left behind that thought and continued walking before the attendees could even process what he just said."Master Tanjen, Remus Calsberg? This is my first time meeting him but why does he feel so familiar?" He was still pondering the identity of Remus.As for Glinda, he didn't give it much thought. Whether she had cultivation or not was irrelevant to him."Xavier, you've arrived ..." Master Sky surprisingly approached him. Her face bore a welcoming smile, as if the earlier events were mere echoes in the past. Her demeanor, a far cry from the usual formality of a Master, exhibited a touch of frivolity and proactive engagement.Xavier chuckled, "Oh, it's Master Sky. You got here quite early.""Xavier!" Another voice came from ahead.Morven and Reese also approached. Morven clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I heard that you've recovered. I haven't had the chance to congratul
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
