"Haha! Damn, it's so nice to go shopping driving in my Audi A8!" Megan expressed her happiness.At that moment, she had just returned home in good mood."Hehe. Did your fair-weather friends come looking for you again?" William asked cheekily."Hmph! Two of them stopped looking for me when I was poor but now they started to contact me again. I despised, scolded them, and asked them to leave. I treat those who didn't despise me before to a good meal. Now they are jealous that I'm driving this car!" Megan answered."There goes another day. I think Severin earns some money because of his superb medical skill. Now I'm just hoping to receive the dowry he promised. Our days are going to get better," Felicia said."Missus Felicia, are you at home?"Suddenly, they heard Edward's voice from outside. Felicia frowned immediately knowing Edward was outside. When Severin was still in jail, she promised Edward that she would let Diane marry him and she was waiting for Edward to give them the do
The fact that Stanley, the General Manager of Shanahan Corporation, did not have the luxury to drive this type of car. It was just impossible Catherine would bear to buy those two cars for William, Felicia, and Mega.Most importantly, everyone knew that Catherine upholds thriftiness. From the other member of the family, they felt like she was relatively stingy. She always reminded them that money should be spent on the more important area such as developing and expanding their business.The smiles on Felicia and Megan's faces disappeared.After a while, Felicia smiled awkwardly. "Umm…Severin was the one who bought them. And he even bought three cars at one time. He has one and he gave us the other two.""Severin!" Edward's mouth was wide open when he stood up after getting shocked. "That's impossible! He was the one who buy it? Those three cars cost 750,000 dollars and above. Where did he get the money from?""It's true. He was the one who bought it!" Megan smiled. "He said he has
"Mister William, I'm not making it up. Look at these photos. They even thought about buying a house today. These photos were taken outside the show unit. Do you still think I make this up?"Once Edward heard Severin had the money to buy the cars, he confirmed that Severin was the sugar daddy instead of finding himself a sugar mama. The woman in the picture was wearing a mini skirt paired with black stockings. With that sexy body, he had a feeling the woman was the flirty and coquettish type of woman.Although William did not believe it, he still came over to take a look. He frowned. "They were just standing there talking. It doesn't prove anything. They were not holding hands or touching each other. Mister Edward, are you overthinking it?"Edward did not agree. "Overthink? I think you are too stupid. Look at how this woman dressed! She doesn't look like a fine lady. I'm sure they must be something going on between both of them!"To make matters worse, he said, "Obviously, Severin w
People tended to say men went wild when they had money to splurge. Could it be true?'I waited so many years for him to come back. The suffering and misery I received because of him. Is he really having another woman just because he's rich now?' Diane thought.She shook her head. "No! That's impossible. It's impossible! Did you guys see clearly?"At that moment, she thought Edward had photos of Severin sleeping with another woman. That thought scared her so much that her face went pale."Look, Diane. See this woman. She's wearing a mini skirt and black stockings. She doesn't look like a decent woman. I'm sure you don't know who she is. Severin was released from jail not too long ago. I don't think he's in contact with many people. If he's not having another woman, then who is this woman here?" Edward said.He went to Diane and wanted to show her the photos. Diane was scared and refused to look at the photos because she was afraid Severin was a b*stard just like what they said. The
Edward looked at Diane leaving while feeling dumbstruck.After a while, he finally got his senses back but Diane was already gone. He shook his head and looked at Felicia with disbelief. "Missus Felicia, what did I just hear? What is the meaning of that? Diane said you guys have accepted Severin? And Missus Catherine too? How's that possible?"Felicia frowned. She knew she has to explain everything to him. "Mister Edward, it's better for you to let Diane go. There are many girls that are better than Diane and you can get them easily with your identity. Why should you insist on having her?"She paused. "In the beginning, all of us did not approve of Diane marrying Severin. I mean he's an offender that got sent to jail and also a poor guy without money and power. There was no way we would allow Diane to be together with him. Even when he went to screw up Easton's wedding, we didn't help him.""Then why the change of mind now?" Edward asked angrily. He gritted his teeth and was unhapp
After venting it out, Edward tried to suppress his anger. "What did you guys say just now? You are asking Severin for help? Is Missus Catherin sick and needs Severin to save her? Or she will die?"Felicia said, "No, no, no! That's not it. Catherine is doing fine and very healthy. Do you know about Liberty City? We don't actually have a chance to participate in it. But Severin has a good connection with Mister Henry. So we hope Severin could put in good words for us to get us to take part in the project. Severin assured us he can do that."Edward's face looked sullen after hearing that. "He did save Mister Henry last time. But Mister Henry has already rewarded him with the villa and he probably received money from Mister Henry too. Otherwise, he won't have the money to buy cars for you guys. I think that reward is more than enough to cover the medical bill. Shouldn't he be content with that? Hmph! I don't think Mister Henry would agree to it!"He continued angrily, "He is so shameles
After what happened today, Edward finally realized he could not count on Felicia and Megan to persuade Diane. Not when the Shanahans were expecting Severin to get along with Mister Henry and maintained a good relationship with the Longhorns.Diane had explicitly said that she would never give him a chance too. If that was the case, there was only one option left if he want to have Diane - kill Severin. Once Severin died, he would take the opportunity to console Diane when Diane was heartbroken and gained her affection.Jada, Easton, and Lucy were thrilled to hear that. They had been desiring to kill Severin but they did not have the power to do so. The reason they were seeking help from Edward was they hoped Edward would do it. They would only rejoice once Severin is dead."Mister Edward, you're right. Without Severin in the picture, everything will be solved. Diane would surely fall in love with you!" Easton said quickly.Lucy also shared her opinion. "We women know each other the
However, Edward remained quiet without saying anything."Three hundred thousand dollars? Is it really that expensive?" Easton asked.He had never gotten in touch with any killer organization before so he did not know the market price. From where he sees it, he thought he could hire an assassin for less than a-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars. It shocked him to know it was going to cost three hundred thousand dollars."How ignorant can you be? It's three hundred thousand dollars!" Edward gave Easton an impatient look."The combat power of a three stars assassin is like the common assassin. They are powerful fighters. Do you think it's going to be cheap?" he said."Isn't it a little too expensive?" Jada frowned.If it really cost the amount Edward said, it meant Easton and her needed to pay a million dollars each. It was a lot of money even for a young miss from a reputable family like her.Easton smiled embarrassingly. "Mister Edward. I'm from a normal wealthy family and not ev
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
