"You must be nuts if you think you can beat all those people, Severin. Don't go and get yourself killed!" Quinn, who was walking beside him, was taken aback by what happened to him. There was no longer any doubt that Severin was a foolhardy individual, otherwise he would not have been sentenced to prison at all.

"Severin, you came too?! What a surprise!" A guy in a suit came over at that moment and exclaimed with a smile.

Severin merely glanced indifferently at the other party. "Fat Pat? You're here too?"

"Isn't that obvious? We're all college classmates, so of course we're going to attend Lucy's wedding!" Patrick Reece, whom everyone called Fat Pat, said with a sarcastic look on his face. He then added, "By the way, when you and I were going after Lucy, she looked down on me and got together with you. I remember how smug you were at that time. Look at you now. Can you even see what you've become? You dress like some hobo!"

Upon seeing Severin's silence, Patrick continued to rub salt in his wound. "Guess being handsome doesn't really do much for you now, and your good grades back then are all pretty much useless! Bwahaha! It takes money to survive in this world! Look at me, I've made my way into Easton's company and became a manager there! I even have a young, beautiful wife at home. What do you have?"

Severin's face turned gloomy. "Don't try and provoke me, Fat Pat. I won't even look twice if someone like Lucy was handed to me on a silver platter. I even refused it when one of the war heroes offered their granddaughter to me!"

"Pffttt! Hahahahah!" Patrick immediately burst into laughter when he heard that. "That's super hilarious! Did you learn nothing but bragging during your five years in prison? I can't believe you made the claim that a war hero's granddaughter wants to marry you. You must have lost a couple of screws after Lucy abandoned you!"

"Forget it, Fat Pat. Keep your words to yourself. We were all classmates once, so you should know that Severin even bought a matrimonial home for Lucy. He can't be too happy to know that Lucy's getting married today, so why do you have to provoke him?" Quinn could not stand it any longer and impulsively spoke on behalf of Severin.

"Tch, is that so hard for him to take?" Patrick ignored Quinn's dissuasion and turned around to say loudly, "Everyone, you must be curious, who is this strangely dressed young man is, right? Well, he's Lucy's former fiance, and he was just released from prison! Can you imagine someone like him wanting to marry Lucy?"

His remark elicited a wave of discussion, and the onlookers all began to point at Severin.

"I was just wondering why he's dressed so inappropriately! Turns out, that's him!"

"It is him! I heard that he smashed a beer bottle over Mister Easton's head all those years ago. I didn't think he'd be released from prison so quickly!"

"Why would someone like him be here? Is he trying to toady up to the Loughs? I think he might be. My guess is that he finally realized he was wrong, so he went to the wedding to try and get on the Loughs' good books."

Patrick turned around and grinned wide in satisfaction as he watched Severin become a laughingstock.

"Do you enjoy watching everyone treat me like a fool?" Severin's expression soured and he looked at Patrick with a cold gaze.

"You bet I do!" Patrick shrugged his shoulders. "What's wrong? You look like you're going to throw a tantrum. You wanna hit me? Go ahead! Haha, I don't think you'd dare to do that even if someone else were to lend you’re their courage. Where's your bravery from all those years ago? Don't you have any left?"

The next second, however, Severin sent Patrick flying through the air with a kick. The fat man crashed into a table and crushed it to pieces!

"Holy crap!"

"Did he just…"

Everyone around were completely stunned.

"We're done for!" Quinn's heart sank. Severin came together with her and Timothy, and the last thing she wanted was for Easton to be unhappy and blame the two of them.

"Argh!" Patrick was in a lot of pain, and it took him some effort to get up. "How dare you kick me? This is Easton's wedding, you dipsh*t! Are you trying to cause trouble here?"

"F*cking hell! Why are you guys just standing there? Beat him to a pulp!" Easton and Lucy were welcoming guests not too far away, and as soon as Easton saw what happened, the veins on his head bulged out as he exploded into a rage. He wanted Severin to attend the wedding so he could humiliate Severin, and it never crossed his mind that Severin would really throw hands.

"You're dead meat, kid!" The dozen or so thugs who were carrying steel pipes were always around Easton, and they immediately surrounded Severin after receiving Easton's order.

"Hmph!" Severin snorted coldly, and delivered several lightning-fast kicks to kick away the steel pipes.

Severin stomped his feet all of a sudden, and the powerful wave of air that rushed out had sent them tumbling backward and falling on the ground.

"What's going on?!" Everyone around them were startled.

"A bunch of trash!" Easton gritted his teeth angrily when he saw how ineffectual his people were.

Trevor Lough, who was sitting in the corner, was immediately enraged by what he saw. As a fighter, he knew that Severin's skills were different from that of the thugs.

He stood up slowly and stared straight at Severin with a sharp gaze. "You b*stard. How dare you mess up my son's wedding? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"You're going too far, Severin. My son-in-law was kind enough to invite you over and let you enjoy the food in a high-end hotel, and in return, you ruined the wedding! You really have gotten tired of living, haven't you! I'm so glad my daughter didn't choose to wait for you!" Helga also took a step forward and pointed angrily at Severin while berating him.

Severin shot her a cold look and said, "You think I won't hit women? We still have a score to settle, you know!"

"You…"

As angry as Helga was, she eventually took a few steps back because she was so frightened by Severin's stare. After all, she would probably end up half-dead if he punched her.

Easton's dozen or so men were no match for Severin, and it was clear that Severin had exceptional fighting ability.

"Look at the kind of person he is. From the start, I never approved of you being friends with him, but you were still stubborn. Do you see it now? Thank goodness you didn't choose to wait for him! People like him will never repent!" Lucy's father, Landon Orwell, was just as angry as everyone else there.

Trevor immediately called the head bodyguard at home. After hanging up, he smiled coldly and said to Severin, "Just you wait, boy. I can tell you for sure that you won't be able to leave the Richemont Hotel today!"

"You sure? I'll wait, then! Although, I only came to this hotel because someone invited me to lunch today. I wasn't here to attend some b*tch's wedding. You folks forced me to attend because you wanted to humiliate me, so I think I ought to give you a taste of your own medicine!"

Severin sighed then grabbed a chair and sat down. He crossed his legs and then said to Lucy, "Sigh. Since it's all come to this, I think it's about time we settle some scores! I don't blame you for not marrying me, Lucy, but I gave your family a dowry worth forty thousand. Don't you think it should be returned to me?"

    Lucy took a step forward, glared fiercely at Severin, and said, "We couldn't get married because you went to prison, Severin. Am I to blame for that? Why should I return the money?" She folded her arms and then said proudly, "Living in poverty must've driven you crazy. You're asking me for money because you don't have any after coming out of prison, right? I wasted three years of my youth during our three-year relationship, and that forty thousand is just about enough to compensate me for the time lost. A little over ten thousand a year shouldn't be much, right?""Tch!" Severin never expected her to say that so righteously. Enraged, he glared at Lucy and said, "So is your youth all that matters? What about mine?" Severin asked while walking slowly toward Lucy. "I bought you whatever you wanted during those three years. Have I not been good enough to you? I'm on your beck and call. I listen to whatever you say, and I've treated you so well. And what about you? What have you done for me

    Stunned, the four bodyguards then turned around and stared at the woman.Severin frowned, turned around slowly, and finally exclaimed in confoundment, "You again!" He was utterly dumbfounded when he saw her, because she was none other than the woman who called him a jerk in that dilapidated neighborhood earlier that day. Somehow, she was still dressed in the same food delivery uniform as she squeezed out from behind the Loughs' bodyguards.She was panting heavily, which obviously suggested that she was exhausted after rushing all the way there!"Who is this woman? Must be some nutcase too. Didn't she call Severin 'my man'?"Some of the guests went blank for a moment, and eventually they could not help but whisper among themselves."Who are you? Did you mistake him for someone else? Severin doesn't have a wife, so who are you trying to fool?" Lucy took a step forward and said to the woman in front of her. "Don't poke your nose in the Loughs' private business!"Diane looked at Lucy

    Severin's head was buzzing. He could not believe that he had a child, and wondered if that chubby and adorable girl named Selene was his daughter."That little girl…is my daughter?" Severin shook his head and found it hard to believe.Diane walked up to Severin and gritted her teeth. All the suffering she had experienced in the past five years were concentrated into the tears that welled up in her eyes. She slapped Severin without hesitation and said, "You b*stard! Don't you remember what happened the night before you were apprehended? Do you have any idea what I had to go through in the past five years, and how much anguish I had to bear?"Severin was so dumbstruck that he did not even stop her slap. He could feel just how hard it was for a daughter of an aristocratic family to be kicked out of her home whilst being pregnant with a baby. It was likely that she had gone through the nine-month pregnancy alone, with no one to even care for her.Her life was already hard enough, yet s

    "I…I have a daughter…I really do have a daughter!" Severin was more than pleasantly surprised. He could not have imagined that he would receive such blessings when he least expected it! Diane had gotten pregnant with his child after a drunken one-night stand, and she later gave birth to his adorable daughter. To top it off, Severin could tell that Diane was a good woman, one that was selfless, kind, and strong!She was the kind of woman that Severin should protect, not gold-diggers like Lucy who placed vanity and money above all else.In addition, the woman standing in front of him had the kind of character and aura that was unhampered by her ordinary-looking clothes, and her near-flawless face was practically glowing with beauty.Diane had suffered a lot anguish and injustice in the past five years, so Severin secretly vowed to himself that he would make it up to her for everything that she went through—he wanted to convince her that she did not choose the wrong man, and he was det

    "Why are all of you just standing there? Beat him up!" Trevor looked at the bodyguards and shouted."Just try it!" When Diane saw those bodyguards raised their machetes, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her arms again to shield Severin. "My family might not care much about me anymore, but the Shanahan blood still runs in my veins! If anyone hurts me by mistake, then you'd best be prepared to face the Shanahans's wrath!""But…" The bodyguards immediately became fearful.Severin, who was standing behind her, felt a warm current in his heart. However, he took a step forward and patted Diane on the shoulder. "Leave this kind of stuff to me. I can handle it, so don't worry!""You? What can do you? Bragging is all you've got going for you!" Diane left Severin speechless with that remark.On the other side, Trevor frowned before eventually saying, "Alright, Miss Diane. I'll give you one chance today. I'll let the two of you leave if you can get someone from the Shanahans to plead

    "Twenty minutes are up!" Lucy had been staring intently at the time, and she immediately reminded Trevor when she saw that it had reached the 20-minute mark.Trevor nodded and signaled for the Loughs's bodyguards to go ahead. To his astonishment, however, the Shanahans' old lady had reached the second floor just as he was about to raise his hand. Her two sons came with her as well, along with several other members of the Shanahan family. Behind them were than a dozen bodyguards, all of whom were wearing in black suits. There were more than meets the eye for everyone there.Although there were not a lot of people from the Shanahans, the Loughs' bodyguards consciously gave way when they saw that the Shanahans had arrived. After all, the Shanahans were a third-tier upper-class family. Their sheer influence dwarfed the Loughs, and the latter simply could not afford to piss the Shanahans off.Several guests began to gossip when they saw the Shanahans making an appearance."The Shanahans

    Diane's initial plan was just to inform her father, William, about the situation. Believing that a couple of remarks from William to the Loughs would be enough to persuade the other party to back off, her plan backfired when William brought both her uncle, George, and her grandma, Catherine along.William glanced at Severin and sighed. He was obviously disappointed with Severin, for he never thought that his daughter would get together with someone so worthless. It dawned on him that it was probably the reason why his daughter refused to say anything when asked about the child's father.Such a man was not worthy of being associated with the Shanahans, especially not a woman like Diane who had both beauty and brains. Diane's mother, Felicia, glanced at Severin and took a step forward. As she looked coldly at Severin, she said, "So you're the one who ruined my daughter's life? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't've been kicked out of the house, and our life wouldn't have been so suffer

    Catherine was manifestly unhappy when she heard what Diane said. "Diane, are you sure you want to be with him? How is someone like him worthy of a woman like you?""There's no point trying to persuade me, Grandma. I've already made my decision!" Diane remained steadfast."Why do you have to be so stubborn?" William finally could not resist voicing his opinion, and his tone seemed to lament that Diane's lack of desire to seek a better change.The corners of Catherine's lips trembled slightly and she gritted her teeth. "I see. Since you've already made up your mind, I won't bother any longer. I would've been able to try and accept this man if he was at least the son of an ordinary businessman, but I am thoroughly and utterly unable to accept a man like him! Worse still, he's an ex-convict!"After saying what she wanted to say, the old lady said to Trevor, "Mister Trevor, Diane is still a Shanahan, so the least your people can do is refrain from hurting her.

    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!
