Birk nodded without any hesitation."Yes. I think Severin will only accept if we offer him to be the grand-elder. Besides, it's a little unfair to him if we let him be our elder."Just look at the alchemical pill he produced. It's so much better than what our current grand-elder could produce. If we don't offer him to be our grand-elder, I can't think of any suitable position for him."After a pause, he continued, "Sofia, I used to worry about what kind of man you'd find to be your husband. Now, I think Severin is a good choice. You need to be more aggressive and fight hard to be together with him!"Sofia bit her lip and said, "Dad, you don't know him at all. You've never met him. Are you saying this because of his alchemical skill?"Birk chuckled. "Is it so hard to tell what kind of person he is? The fact that he's willing to save you proves he's righteous. You're a beautiful young lady, but he never once tried to ask you out. That means he's not a lustful person.*Do I need to
After that, Sofia left.Birk smiled and said to himself, "My baby daughter finally found a man she likes. I can tell she really likes him a lot."Meanwhile, Franko, Leslie, and the others arrived at the largest city in Dracodom—Oolong City.Oolong City was a busy metropolitan city where many strong fighters resided. It was also the city where the royal family of Dracodom lived.Once they arrived home, Franko freshened up and had a makeover to look more stylish and handsome. After that, he drove to look for Princess Nana with his bodyguards."This is Princess Nana's residence! Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering!" The guard shouted out after looking at Franko."Open your eyes and take a look! I'm Franko Marsden. My father is Leslie Marsden—one of The Three Commanders! Are you sure you're not going to let me in?"The guard looked at Franko, his tone becoming softer. "Mister Franko, there's nothing I can do. The princess has ordered not to let anyone in for two days. Sh
Princess Nana's eyes lit up immediately. She jumped up from the sofa and asked excitingly, "Franko? Did you say Franko wants to see me?""Yes, my princess. Franko Marsden."The guard frowned and looked a little surprised. From Princess Nana's reaction, he could tell she was desperate to meet Franko.Princess Nana instructed, "Go. Bring him in now!""Yes, my princess!"The guard left.After that, Princess Nana started to jump up and down excitedly. "This is great! I can't believe Franko is asking to see me! I wonder why he's here. Did he think it through and realize that he actually likes me?"With that thought in mind, it further enlightened Princess Nana's mood and had her cheering."Calm down, calm down. What if he's here for other things?"She remembered she was a princess and tried to calm herself down, pretending nothing happened. She sat on the couch, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.Franko quickly acted excited to see the princess when he entered the
Once Severin did that, he stood up and heated the cauldron to start another round.Time passed. He focused intensely on every step to ensure the whole process was perfect."It's finished!"Several minutes later, Severin looked happy. Finally, he waved his hand, and an alchemical pill flew out of the cauldron and hovered in front of him."Haha! I did it! I did it!" he laughed happily.The attempt to produce a third-grade medium-rank alchemical pill took him a few days. It was much harder than any of the breakthroughs from before.Despite that, he did it. He successfully produced a third-grade medium-rank alchemical pill. That meant there would be more coming…In other words, he had become a third-grade medium-rank alchemist."Haha! I'm finally a third-grade medium-rank alchemist! Based on the color of this alchemical pill, it's mediocre-quality. Not bad! Not bad!"Severin chuckled and was about to put the alchemical pill into a porcelain bottle.Just then, the door was opened,
"Oh, my god! Is that true? Did you have another breakthrough?"After hearing it, Sheila stood up excitedly with her eyes widened.It was truly amazing and spectacular that Severin was a third-grade medium-rank alchemist. She did not think Severin would improve so fast. It would shock everyone in Dracodom if this got out."Haha! Good, good! My son is so talented!"Maurice was also so excited that he could not stop smiling.When Severin was in jail, they owed many people money and often got picked on by Easton's men. Their life was so pathetic that they could not even afford to buy meat to put on the table.Their life was totally different from before. Never in his wildest dream had he thought that would be his life."Dad, you're so amazing! My dad is an amazing person!"Selene looked excited as she clapped her hands.Severin smiled at Selena and said, "Selene, you're very gifted too. Train hard, and you'll be strong.""I know. I'll train hard."Selene nodded, looking at the l
"It's been a few days. Wendy, Lillie, and the others are now level nine warrior kings. I bet Rachel and the others must've improved too."After some thinking, Severin smiled faintly. So far, no one knew he had six bodyguards who were level nine warrior kings in his mansion.Their attainments were considered top-tier fighters in the mundane world.Since Severin had finished his third-grade medium-rank spiritual herbs, he used his spare time to produce alchemical pills suitable for Diane, Sheila, and Selene.Selene did not disappoint Severin. Not only did she have a breakthrough, but she became a level two profound master a day prior.Sheila became a level five profound master, and Diane became a level seven profound master.Both of them were extremely thrilled to reach the new level. They were so much closer to the warrior king stage they dreamed of.When Severin went downstairs, Rachel and Zoheb had come over."Why are you two here?" Severin smiled and asked.Zoheb answered, "
After some thinking, Severin looked at Rachel and Zoheb again. "Since you two are here, why don't you stay for dinner? We could celebrate the good news too."Rachel shrugged. "Not a problem. It's an honor to have dinner with you."Zoheb chuckled, "Great. We can have a drink or two!"Severin smiled bitterly. "Rachel, we're basically on the same team now. You don't have to be so polite or stand so upright. Don't think of yourself as my subordinate. You're a guest too.""Hi, Miss Rachel, Mister Zoheb."When Sheila walked in, she greeted them cheerfully.Severin smiled. "They had a breakthrough and are now level nine warrior kings. I invited them to have dinner and drink together tonight to celebrate. Go tell the kitchen to prepare more food tonight, will you?"Sheila looked at them enviously. "I'm so jealous. That makes you two almost the same as the Four Great War Gods. When can I reach that level?"Rachel smiled at Sheila. "You're very talented. It's not going to take long befor
"No. I'm here because I truly need to discuss something with him. Why would I come all the way here without any reason?" Sheila quickly explained.She covered her rosy cheeks, looking anxious and nervous.Diane, who had remained silent, frowned. It seemed like Sofia had never been in a relationship. Otherwise, Sofia would not have easily revealed her emotions even if Megan had told the truth.Nonetheless, she was really glad that her husband was so charming that even an elite disciple of the Stormy Moon Sect fell for him after just meeting him a couple of times.Severin coughed and changed the topic. "Ahem, ahem. Megan, stop fooling around! Miss Sofia, you said you have things to discuss with me?"Sofia glanced at everyone and bit her lip. "Umm… Can we talk alone?"Severin looked at the others and said, "Diane, can you and Sheila accompany Rachel and Zoheb? They're having dinner with us. I need to talk with Sofia.""Sure."Diane smiled and winked at Severin.Severin nodded. "M
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
