"There's no harm in keeping quiet, is there, Megan? Why are you getting all angry with the bodyguards?" Felicia chided when she saw that Diane and Severin were not very pleased with what happened.She smiled at them, recalled the reason for their visit, and said to Severin, "I'm sure you remember the bet we made, right?”Severin had a grin on his face as he answered immediately, "Of course. But it's only been two or three days though. Are you all getting overly anxious? I've assured you that the seven-and-a-half million dowry will be ready for you within a month!"In response, Felicia hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not it. We didn't come here to rush you. There's just one other thing that we need to tell you!""And what's this 'other thing'?" Severin frowned and was slightly puzzled.Felicia paused briefly before saying, "Our previous bet remains the same, but we're adding another extra condition!""Another extra condition? What do you mean by that?" Severin's face soured. "A be
Severin only made such a remark out of love for Diane. Felicia could not get angry at him for that, and she could not find a reason to refute it either."Easy for you to say! Where are you going to get all that money without selling off the villa? And didn't you also say that you wanted to organize a grand wedding for my sister in the future?" Megan sneered. "I think you're just deliberately making excuses to drag this further. I'm sure you'd be more than happy to drag this out as long as you can since there's still more than twenty days remaining."Diane did not wait for Severin to say anything further and took the initiative to respond. "You don't have to worry so much, Megan. Mom will get the seven and a half million that Severin promised. Not a cent less! All you need to do is wait. The money will be transferred to Mom's account later. She just needs to give him the account number!""Does he really have that much money?" Megan became a little flustered when she saw Diane's confi
Severin could only frown when he knew what Felicia and William were thinking. In truth, he could never spend all the money he had even if he never went to work again for the rest of his life. He did not want Diane to work again because she had suffered so much for him in the past years.Had he not been afraid of scaring Diane with the knowledge of how much money he owned, he would not have shown her just thirty million to prove to her that he had the money. He only showed her that amount to reassure her of his ability.He remained silent for a few seconds and then asked William, "Were you hoping that Diane would go back to work?"Upon hearing this, Megan, who had been stifling her anger in her heart, said directly, "Duh! Can you afford to take care of my sister if she doesn't go to work? We want to live a high-class life, not an ordinary life! And on that note, having too much money isn't a problem, right?"Severin glanced at Megan and could not be bothered to entertain her stubbor
Severin, however, shook his head. "If she wants to go back to the company, the only way is to become the general manager. Being just a manager will give Stanley all the authority to make things difficult for you with the ultimate aim of firing you!""You're right. He is a very sinister man!" Felicia nodded in approval, but soon frowned and said, "But the old lady probably won't agree!""Haha, she'll have to agree if she doesn't have a choice!" Severin said with a chuckle and added. "Don't worry. Just leave it to me!""Hehe, easy for you to say. Stanley's no idiot. Grandma said she'll give him a week. If he doesn't secure the quota yet, then she'll come to you for help. You do understand what that means, don't you? She values Stanley more. You're just a last-ditch option!" Megan snickered. "Besides, Mister Henry doesn't owe you any more favors after giving you the villa. The quota for Liberty City is very precious and far from being just simply projects. God knows how many million ea
We are not just going to go out for lunch. I think we should at least eat at a five stars hotel. That's the only way for you to show us that you love my sister, right? If you don't treat her family with respect, how are you going to prove that you love her?""Besides, for someone who could afford that amount of dowry, he won't bother paying for lunch at all," Megan said. She was not stupid. If Severin was really that rich, he would agree to take them out to eat without any hesitation. However, if he hesitated just a little, it meant he was just stalling the time when he promised to give the dowry. She glared at Severin to monitor his reaction."Sure! I have that idea too!" Severin answered.Unexpectedly, Severin agreed without even giving it a thought and answered indifferently. "Diane's parent is my parent. Look at how big Selene is now. I haven't treated all of you to a meal before. Since this is the first time I'm buying lunch, we have to go somewhere classy!""Master, should we
With that thought in Felicia's mind, her face suddenly looked gloomy. "Severin. Shouldn't you give us an explanation why you bought such a cheap car?"Without a doubt, Severing knew very well what was Felicia afraid of. It did not bother him. He smiled. "I actually wanted to buy a more expensive car like Audi, BMW, Ferrari, or Porsche. But Diane said it was not necessary. She only wanted a normal car to drive around. I have no choice but I like to listen to everything my wife said. I will buy anything that she wants. Besides, I think this is a good car. It can fit all of us."Diane's expression looked a little weird. No one would actually refuse a better car. At that time, she did not know the amount of money Severin had in his bank. If she did, she would probably also ask to buy a better car too.At that moment, she thought Severin was after the money when he risked everything to ruin Lucy and Easton's wedding. If Severin was willing to risk his life because of that money, she pres
"Megan, what are you doing?" Diane could not tolerate it anymore. "Severin is buying dad a car so dad can drive to work. And that's very kind of him. Why should you ask Severin to buy you a car too? Can you afford the gas money if you have a car?""Hmph! Who said I can't afford to put gas into the car? As long as I have a car, I'll be able to afford it!" Megan snorted coldly and begged Severin again. "Oh, come on. You're going to buy one anyway. Another one won't hurt!"Severin smiled. " Actually, I don't mind. I'm going to be your brother-in-law anyway. I have enough money that would last me ten lifetimes. Buying a car for you is not a difficult task!""Really?" Megan was thrilled to hear that.Even though she still thought Severin was just bluffing. If Severin was really as rich as he said, she would receive a car. Otherwise, this would be a good chance to test him out and she could reveal his true identity. Nevertheless, it was a win-win situation for her."But you have to call
Judith rolled her eyes at Maurice and smiled as she reminded Maurice.Maurice raised his brow and said, "It's easy. I'll just sign up for a driving course and learn it. Now we have a car to drive, I surely must get a driving license.""Yes! Yes! That's the way to think. You guys are not poor like you used to be. Plus, you guys are not that old too. You should definitely go learn how to drive. Maybe you two can even go for a road trip in the future. Isn't that nice?" Felicia joined the conversation."Huh? Sounds nice. Felicia, that's a very good suggestion. We can think about going on road trips!" Maurice heard that and his eyes sparkled.There was nothing they could do because they were poor in the past. Now that they had the money and the time, it was time for them to enjoy their lives."Let's go! Let's go! Time to grab a cab!" Megan was very excited knowing she was going to own a car and led the war. "There're many cars in Autoctiy!"Soon, the group arrived at Autocity. After a
At that instant, Infernatur and Damnatur felt a sudden chill, as if an impending doom loomed on the horizon.Severin then said softly to them, "I'm gonna need you as a helping hand!"Infernatur and Damnatur recoiled as a horrifying realization dawned upon them."Have you taken that leap?" Infernatur's voice trembled with uncertainty.Severin remained silent and simply waved his hand gently. The 129,600 cosmic laws surged with boundless power, reducing the huge figures of Infernatur and Damnatur to dust.Within moments, two essences of pure primordial power flowed into Severin's inner world, while the desolate chaos sea crumbled and was consumed by his voracious appetite.Severin's form eventually began to fade until it became a flicker of light that vanished completely. His consciousness had been devoured entirely.Everything before him was empty and devoid of substance.An indefinite amount of time passed before Severin's voice echoed through the emptiness, "Chaos springs from
With a deft stroke of the bronze halberd, the path hovering above Severin shattered."This is a peculiar weapon," Severin recoiled in alarm, raising the Oculus Blade to defend himself "It has the ability to dismantle the great path!"Simultaneously, he utilized his space-time path to shield against potential assaults, especially any sneak attacks.Explosions reverberated, unleashing torrents of elemental energy and spatial turbulence throughout the chaotic sea. Time passed indeterminately amidst the chaos.For centuries, the trio engaged in combat, their auras undiminished by time's passage.Meanwhile, the four Dominus Nosters in the Celestial Realm waged war against the extraterrestrial intruders, reclaiming territories with unparalleled ferocity.Under the leadership of figures like Callide, the extraterrestrials were simply no match for them.The Southern, Western, and Devil Regions were reclaimed quickly, yet everyone from the Celestial Realm remained vigilant, for war conti
Outside the Heaven Palace, the few who had been appointed Dominus Noster along with a cohort of quasi-royal celestials were faced with the grim reality at hand.Clad in resplendent hues, Callide—who was their leader and carried the title Dominus Noster Arcanum—donned celestial attire woven from stars and the galaxy. With a regal bearing, she commanded from atop a cloud, "Follow me, my brethren! We shall vanquish the extraterrestrials in the Devil Realm!""At your command, Dominus Noster Arcanum!""Yes, Dominus Noster Arcanum!"With their resounding battle cries, streams of light surged across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, converging upon the territories occupied by the extraterrestrials—they were the Devil Region, Southern Region, and the Western Region.Amidst the vibrant rainbow, a towering figure emerged, blotting out the sky and earth. Everyone recognized that figure as Severin, and knew that the battle against the quasi-celestial regents would soon begin.Adrian, who was alrea
Armin then spoke with a calm authority, "You cannot remain in this time and space, for you are from the future. It is time you return."As he uttered these words, Severin sensed an invisible force pushing against him and urging him to depart.Standing upon the river of time, he overlooked the tumult of the quasi-celestial regent conflict looming below. He mumbled Armin's counsel, "By receiving nourishment, shattering constraints, tearing open chaos, and reaching the other side…" As Severin pondered over those revelations for an indefinite amount of time, clarity dawned upon him like the sudden rising sun. "So that's the way!"By the time he snapped to his senses, he discovered that his primal spirit had traversed countless epochs in the river of time. "Did I spend that long in the river of time?" he asked himself. Fortunately, the duration he spent in the river of time was but a fleeting moment in the real world.Severin's resolve solidified. Though his brief discourse with Armin,
Severin could sense the mental connection between himself and the weapon, almost as if it was an extension of himself. Severin then raised his gaze to the celestial expanse beyond."I'm almost on Armin's level now that I've made a breakthrough to the rank of quasi-celestial sovereign. However, facing the extraterrestrials' quasi-celestial regents isn't going to be easy meat for me," he mused aloud.Armin was once the sovereign architect of the Imperial Court and the ruler of the Celestial Realm, yet even he found himself at the mercy of the attack of Heaven's Will. Even a mighty quasi-celestial sovereign was reduced to naught but dust.Severin felt the weight of the responsibility settle upon him. Confronting the two quasi-celestial regents would require him to transcend to the realm of celestial sovereign—a realm of which he had scant knowledge of.He understood the concept of the celestial sovereign only in the context of attaining liberation through enlightenment via the 3,000 p
In the vast expanse of the chaotic sea, occasional gusts of strong wind whipped up the formidable chaotic energy. A single whirlpool could claim the life of even a true immortal.Amidst that tumult, two colossal figures lay prone within the abyss. They emanated an aura of unparalleled power, commanding even the paths to heed their authority. The turbid breath exhaled in their slumber had the capacity to tear the fabric of the chaotic void, unveiling dreamlike cosmic chiliocosms.They were the progenitors of the extraterrestrial race, the alpha and omega of the enigmatic beings. Their names were Infernatur and Damnatur. To the uninitiated, and sometimes even to their own kind, it was widely believed that Infernatur and Damnatur were distinct entities. However, they were but facets of the same being.Infernatur could be deemed the primordial offspring of chaos itself, having borne witness to the most primitive and barbaric epochs of the Bleu Celestial Realm. Being born of chaos, he po
Heaven Palace could now boast four royal celestials, along with nearly 20 quasi-royal celestials and 5,000 true immortals. Those esteemed individuals once served the Longevity Alliance, Clear Wind Sect, Tri Celestial Island, and Ingeni Paradise. While their numbers paled in comparison to the 120,000 true immortals during the ancient Imperial Court's heyday, Severin was confident that he could revive that with time. After all, the new Imperial Court had only just been re-established, and there was still more work to do.Severin then addressed the assembly, "As you continue raising your attainment, you shall have to anticipate the looming threat of conflict with the extraterrestrials. Now that you have are bestowed with titles as the custodians of heaven and earth, it is our solemn duty to reciprocate the blessings bestowed upon us.""Yes, we shall!" echoed the resolute affirmation from the gathered immortals.Having concluded his address, Severin went to speak briefly with Diane and
In the Heaven Palace, Callide sensed that the aura emanating from Severin was simultaneously as vast the sky and ocean but as indiscernible as that of a mortal. Tremors of terror gripped her, as she knew that he had far surpassed the realm of a cultivator who had attained the perfect-stage royal celestial. It was no exaggeration to say that Severin could obliterate a royal celestial with a mere thought.Balke, Libra, and Creatia shared Callide's apprehension. To them, Severin embodied the very essence of the path—intangible, silent, abstruse, incomprehensible, and undetectable.As the imperial robe adorned Severin, Balke and the others bowed in reverence. "Long live the Celestial Sovereign!" they chanted in unison.A subtle wave of fortune floated toward the heavenly heart imprint as Severin acknowledged their worship with a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and lifted them effortlessly with an unseen force.With a thunderous voice that resonated in their ears, Severin proclaimed
The true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even the eminent royal celestials held their breath. Everyone observed in silence as Severin wielded the heavenly heart imprint.With each strand of luck infused into the heavenly heart imprint, Severin sensed his dominion over the Bleu Celestial Realm becoming stronger. He had the feeling that he could reshape the world with only a single thought.Once the destinies of tens of thousands of races were bound with the heavenly heart imprint, the golden tourmaline quivered violently and radiated an aura that could be felt across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. Acknowledging the momentous occasion, Severin tapped his forehead and directed a fragment of his soul to command the heavenly heart imprint. The 3,000 great paths within him erupted from his being and materialized."Today shall be the day that I, Severin, rebuild the Imperial Court in the Nine Heavens! As wielder of the great path, the world shall be inscribed in me, and I shall embody
