"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. That man, on the other han

    Little did anyone expect that the owner of the hotel would show up there with the hotel's security guards.Everyone there moves aside so he could pass through.Severin looked over and saw none other than the middle-aged man who played chess with Henry earlier that morning. He wondered what the man was doing there."Oh, hello, Mister Monroe. What brings you here?" Trevor said with a smile.Denzel Monroe, the owner of the Richemont Hotel, glanced at Severin and said, "I was told that somebody was causing trouble in my hotel, so I decided to bring someone over to have a look at the situation. Could you explain what's going on, Mister Trevor?""This kid came here just to stir trouble! He even hurt my son!" Trevor pointed at Severin and said angrily. "I don't need your hotel security guards to take any action, though. Our bodyguards have already arrived, so just let me people take care of him!"Trevor paused, and said again, "Of course, I don't blame you for letting someone like him i

    "B-B-Blade?!" Denzel's expression soured when he heard that name.Diane, who initially was able to breathe a sigh of relief, immediately turned pale. She said softly to Severin, "Bad news. It appears that the Loughs have still maintained connections with Blade."Severin's brows furrowed, not out of nervousness, but out of curiosity. "Is this 'Blade' guy strong? What kind of person is he?""You might not know this, but aside from the wealthy families we see in Brookbourn's surface, there's the existence of a ruler in the underworld, as well as an organization called the Draco Hall. Draco Hall's second-in-command is Blade. He's a capable fighter, and he only got to where he is now by killing people. They say that he faced more than a hundred people with only a blade in his hand, and by the end of the massacre, more than sixty of them lay dead the ground, while the others ran off because they were scared out of their wits!" Diane said with a frown.She was growing increasingly worried

    Trevor then asked, "Are you sure your men can put a fight against my men when your side has barely half the number of our bodyguards?"At that moment, however, one could see through the window that a middle-aged man was leading a group of men to surround the hotel. A number of those people barged in directly, and the total number of individuals that had arrived was probably at least several hundred."We're done for. The guys from Draco Hall are here!" Denzel's expression sank when he saw the situation outside."W-w-what are we supposed to do?" Diane was extremely anxious."Come here, Diane. Are you sure you want to die along with a poor nobody like Severin? Don't you care about your daughter at all?" Felicia squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Diane's arm, and dragged her to where the Shanahans were standing.William, who had also turned pale with fright, hurried over and took Diane's other arm in an attempt to help his wife pull Diane away from Severin."Think about Selene.

    Blade was nearly two meters tall. His body was particularly robust and he had bulging muscles. The short-sleeved T-shirt that he wore accentuated his chest muscles, and they were big enough to rival an average woman's bosom. His bronze-colored arm muscles instilled fear in people, while his thick eyebrows and sharp eyes were brimming with might.When he arrived, he rubbed his bald head and asked Trevor in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, who do you want me to kill?"Trevor had yet to even utter a single word when Easton said impatiently, "It's him! That b*stard ruined my wedding and even tore off one of my fingers! Kill him. No, wait, killing him would be going too easy on him. I want you cut off his meat bit by bit, and have the pieces thrown it into the river for the fish to—"Before he could end his sentence, Blade gave Easton a backhand slap that left Easton feeling all dizzy."B-B-Blade? You hit the wrong person, didn't you? I want you to hit Severin! Not me!" Easton covered his face

    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!
