"Fifty minutes left!" Robert could not be bothered to say much and merely reminded Stanley after looking at the time.

Stanley's lips twitched violently a few times. He knew that the people who owned the bar were powerful enough that the Shanahans could not afford to offend them. There was once a rich young man from a third-tier family who was crippled by a severe beating after offending the owners of that bar.

He did not want to end up crippled after getting beat up by those men, and although he felt ashamed, he realized that he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and call his still-sleeping grandmother.

"Stanley? What's going on? Why are you calling me this late?" Catherine answered the phone and asked Stanley.

Stanley was a little tongue-tied, but after considering his lack of alternatives, he cried out, "Grandma! Severin is such a b*stard! He agreed to buy me a drink, but he sneaked off halfway through without paying! Now I can't leave the bar, hic, hic…help me, Grandma!

    "Good for you, I guess? Whatever connections that the Shanahans have built with other families are of no concern to us!" Robert said. "But those who want to leave our bar without paying the bill can keep dreaming!"After a while, Catherine arrived along with Stanley's parents—George and Cherise, as well as Diane and her family—comprising of her parents, William and Felicia, as well as her sister, Megan. Naturally, more than a dozen of the Shanahans' bodyguards followed suit too."Mom! Dad! You're finally here! I wasn't allowed to leave before I don't have any money on me to pay the bill!" Stanley immediately put on a pitiful act and cried out to Cherise and George when he saw them coming.Cherise felt incredibly heartbroken to see her son like that, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, Stanley. I'm here. We're an upper-class family, and a few bottles of wine won't be a problem for us. What exactly happened though? While we were on the way here, your grandma

    Stanley's eyes widened in anger when he heard that. "What do you mean his character is different from mine? What are you trying to imply about my character? He's the one who invited me here today, and there were two other women with me here earlier too. They've already left, but if you don't believe me, I can call them and ask them to come back and testify for me."William could not be bothered to argue with Stanley and decided to save his breath.Finally, Catherine said, "Forget it! Whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. The priority now is to avoid embarrassing yourself. Let's just pay up and leave." She then turned to Robert and asked, "We are a third-tier family after all, so we can still afford to pay the bill. Could you let me know how much is the total?"Robert immediately smiled at her. "Hehe, always the bigger person, ma'am. Our general manager offered a nine-thousand-dollar discount, so the total will now be sixty-six thousand.""Sixty-six thousand?!" Catherine's face

    Felicia immediately added, "Yeah! We can't just listen to Stanley's one-sided story. You're his parents, so you of all people should know what kind of person he is. Don't ignore all his wrongdoings just because you want to protect him!""You…" Cherise gritted her teeth angrily and clenched her fists."Enough!" the old lady roared suddenly, sending everyone into silence.A cold expression appeared on her face as she asked Robert, "Could you enlighten us on what really went on?"Stanley folded his hands smugly. Robert and several wait staff saw what happened that night, as did the four B-girls. As long as they were called over to testify, then the answer to all those questions—especially whether Severin was there, whether he mentioned anything about treating them, and whether he had left with another woman—would all come to light!To his surprise, Robert smiled and said, "I'm not too sure, ma'am. One of our wait staff said that Mister Stanley made this order and requested four of ou

    "Hall Master Larry! Why are you and Master Blade here?" Catherine knew that the Draco Hall had already taken over the Cedar Gang, and that they had reached a level where they were stronger than first-tier families but just slightly weaker than Brookbourn Mansion. Thus, it was only natural for her to feel a little anxious when she saw Larry and Blade.Larry said with a faint smile, "We have been drinking and chatting with Mister Severin in the next-door bar, and Mister Severin received a call from his wife asking him to come over. We were curious if something had happened at this late hour, so we decided to tag along!"When Stanley heard that, he clenched his fists and said loudly, "That's not possible! Didn't Severin leave here with a woman? He should be in a hotel room with her right now! Why is he drinking with the two of you? Wait! You just bumped into him not too long ago, right? How long have you been drinking?"Larry's expression turned sullen in an instant and he looked at St

    Blade's violent temper erupted in an instant, and he took a step forward to grab Stanley by the collar. He raised it high with one hand. "Who do you think you are, slandering me like that? Do you want me to tear your limbs apart?""Oh, no, no, no! I wouldn't dare to accuse you! Please spare me, Master Blade! I never said that the two of you were lying!" Stanley begged for mercy right away. He was so scared that he nearly wet his pants!Blade threw him directly on the sofa. "Sure then. We can ask those girls once they come in later. I'm going to chop your hand off if it turns out that you're lying!"Catherine frowned and was a little confused for a moment. The anger present in Larry and Blade's expressions seemed to suggest that they were not lying. However, Stanley did not seem to be lying either, because it would have been very easy to expose his untruths if he had made the whole thing up.At that moment, the old lady did not know who was telling the truth. However, she had made a

    "Lies…it's all lies…" Stanley could not accept what was happening and said with a stammer as he pointed to the girls.Blade, however, slapped him again. "Son of a b*tch! Are you still trying to argue with us? Are you accusing us of lying? Didn't Hall Master Larry already say that Mister Severin was drinking with us? You've got some balls trying to frame him!"Blood flowed out from the corner of Stanley's mouth, and he finally came to the realization that he would be beaten to death right then and there if he did not admit to trying to frame Severin. It was abundantly clear that Larry and Blade were both helping Severin, and neither of the two were people whom he could offend."I…I was wrong. I wanted to trick Severin on purpose. I knew he made a lot of money this morning, so I thought that he could help pay the bill since he has so much money..." Stanley lowered his head and said begrudgingly as he endured the anguish in his heart."Shameful! Just shameful!" the old lady shot Stanl

    "Don't worry. I'll be there on time tomorrow morning!" Severin smiled and immediately followed Larry and the others out.Catherine also exited the premises after paying the money, and she had confirmed her suspicions as soon as she saw Severin talking happily with Larry and Blade.Everyone watched as Larry left, and Catherine smiled at Severin while saying in a praising tone, "It's all thanks to you that we managed to save thirty-three thousand!"Severin reciprocated with a smile. "Well, Larry is a very magnanimous person. He was very happy when I helped treat his mother the other day, and he now thinks of me as his brother too!"The old lady was even more delighted to hear what Severin said. "That couldn't be better. If we can maintain this relationship, then I believe that some of the first-tier upper-class families might not dare to provoke us on a whim in the future. They'll probably even show more respect toward us!"Felicia felt elated too, and she could not help but say, "O

    Severin could not help but smile bitterly as he said, "You're as smart as I expected you to be, honey! Nothing escapes your attention!"Diane smiled and said, "My mom is a simple-minded person, so she won't think too deeply about what happened. Grandma, on the other hand, probably knows that things aren't as simple as they seem, although it's not that important anyway. Grandma might know that you've been to this bar, but she won't expose you because of your good relationship with Draco Hall. That's more important to her than anything else!"Severin nodded. "Well, the truth is, Stanley used to target you and your parents very often when you were kicked out of the Shanahans, right? He even put pressure on other people not to hire you, forcing you to take up a job as a delivery person! Since I had the opportunity to give him a hard time today, I jumped at the chance to do just that!"After a pause, Severin continued, "My plan was to offer to treat him to a drink, and then leave halfway

    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!
