"You're right about that! Gilda, I'm the strongest and most gifted person in our generation. Do you know how many women would die to be my wife? So why should I marry a woman who is not a virgin anymore?" Frederick sneered.Frederick did not care if what he said would hurt Gilda."Besides, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. What would people think of me when they know it? I'm going to be the biggest laughingstock in this world. Do you still think I should marry you?"Gilda was very disappointed. "No. I'm sure that's not going to happen. Didn't you say it's not important that your wife is not a virgin? Aren't you the one who says it's normal to have a few relationships before marriage? You said it's not going to be a problem for you!"Frederick reacted with a sneer. "Gilda, my dear, you are so naive. I'm talking about the ordinary man. They should be happy to marry a beautiful woman as their wives. They are not in the position to be complaining about this or that!"The
"Mr. Wulricht, we shall be on our way. Goodbye." Marcus saw the look on Frederick's face and knew something must have happened."Goodbye, Mr. Marcus!"By now, Wuhlricht guessed Gilda must have told Frederick what happened.Otherwise, Frederick would not have said that. He came to ask Gilda to marry him, and he had prepared the gift too. Nothing else would have made him change his mind except for that.Wuhlricht sent them off politely while feeling embarrassed. However, he despised Frederick. Gilda did not lose her virginity on purpose. It was done under the condition that her life was in danger. What a shock to see Frederick could not understand it.It just proved that he did not love Gilda as much as he claimed."I'll go look for Gilda," Severin said as he was afraid Gilda would do something bad to herself.Wuhlrict nodded and sighed heavily.The Second Elder was stunned and did not know what just happened.The Third Elder was dumbstruck too. "What happened? Why did Frederick
Gilda could not hold back anymore. She dashed into Severin's arms and started crying."Why? Why does he mind it so much? Why is it that he would rather see me die? Is it really that important for guys to be the first man to sleep with the girl?" Gilda sobbed and complained.Severin stood there extended his hands out wishing to hug her back. However, he stopped halfway. At least, he did not have the right to hug her now.Severin smiled bitterly and consoled, "Silly girl, it's not your problem, and don't blame yourself. He doesn't love you as much as he said. Don't worry. You are a good girl. You're going to find a man who loves you and is willing to protect you with his life."Those words managed to give some comfort to Gilda. Only then did she realize she was hugging Severin. Her face turned red. She quickly backed off a few steps and wiped away her tears."How are you now? Do you feel better after crying it out?" Severin asked with a smile."Yes, I feel better now." Gilda nodded
The serious look Severin had on his face assured Gilda. She nodded and went on to tell Severin what happened."I have a special constitution. It's very rare…"Shortly, she felt so much better after telling the truth.Severin nodded. "If I were your dad, I would do the same thing too. I don't believe a father would bear to see his daughter die when he knows there is a way to save her."Gilda nodded. "Yes. I was angry at him too. He didn't inform me before he made the decision. But I came to terms with it and understood why he did it. If he had asked me, I would never have agreed at that time. I just didn't think Frederick would mind it so much."Severin consoled, "Don't worry. He's going to regret it in the future. Now you must treasure your life and live. At least surpass him in terms of attainment and let him know what a stupid choice to break up with you.""Thank you, Severin. Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything stupid. You're right. I need to make full use of my life. I
"Are you serious? Gilda is not a virgin anymore?" Marcus was very furious when he heard that. He said with his gritted teeth, "How dare she go behind your back to be with another man when she was engaged with you? Is she trying to humiliate us on purpose? Frederick, we can't leave just like this. We need to go back and kill her. This is outrageous!"The Great Elder said, "There's nothing wrong if she wants to look for another man if she is not engaged to you, but she did it while knowing you two were going to marry in the future. Damn her! Even if we don't destroy the Skyblue Sect, we should kill her at least!""If this gets out, it is going to tarnish the sect's reputation and Frederick's reputation too!" another elder said with gritted teeth.Surely, they would not allow this to happen to their sect."Mr. Marcus, let's head back and ask them to hand over Gilda. If they refuse, then it gives us a reason to destroy them. We shouldn't let them think they could get away after bullyin
"I'm sure there are only a handful of people with that constitution. If Wuhlricht refused to say who the man is, we can only kill anyone with that constitution. One day, we're going to find him and kill him," Marcus nodded and said angrily.To be honest, he wished Gilda died rather than letting the man sleep with her.Frederick answered with a sneer, "I'm not going to kill Gilda or do anything to Skyblue Sect because I loved her before. However, this doesn't end here."Marcus frowned and asked, "What do you have in mind? No matter what you're planning to do, I will support you.""I want to tell the whole world how Gilda became a level four royal saint overnight. I want to destroy her reputation and let her be a laughingstock. I'm going to tell the whole world that I was the one who dumped her!" Frederick revealed his plan.Marcus responded with a nod. "No problem. We can tell the disciples and have them spread the news. Soon, the others will know Gilda is no longer a virgin becaus
Gilda started complaining, "It's totally a good thing for me now that I know what kind of person he really is."Wuhlricht balled up his hand and said angrily, "How could that jerk call you that? Yes, Skyblue Sect is not as strong and powerful as Horizon Sect, but at least we are also a first-tier sect. I have no idea that's how they see us! What a jerk!""Don't be angry. It's in the past now. I will train hard and tell him that he's not the strongest and most gifted! He has nothing to be proud of anymore!" Gilda said with her gritted teeth and looked determined.Wuhlricht nodded and was proud of Gilda. "I'm really glad you can pull yourself up from this."Gilda smiled. "Well, it's all because of Severin. He talked with me for a long time and helped me to think it through. He made me understand a lot of things."After hearing that, Wuhlricht liked Severin even more, and a thought sprung into his mind. It would be perfect if Severin and Gilda could be together. "Severin is very gift
After taking some time to think of it, Severin decided to tell Diane, Sheila, and Sofia about what just happened. However, he was too embarrassed to tell them that Wuhlrict had asked for his help to save Gilda, so that remained a secret between him and Wuhlricht."Gosh. So that's how Gilda's body recovered." Sheila was shocked to hear it.Sofia said, "What's the matter wrong with Frederick? I mean just look how fabulous and beautiful Gilda is and she loves him so much. It was not Gilda's fault for losing her first night to someone else. How could he blame her and deny her love to him?"Diane, the logical thinker, said, "I actually think it's good for Gilda. At least, now she knew Frederick didn't love her like she thought. If she married him, her marriage would not be good either.""Exactly! Does it really matter much if he was the one who took Gilda's first night? What a bastard. I'd slap him if I were there!" Sheila said angrily while feeling sorry for Gilda."Don't do that! His
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
