"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
Severin could not help but smile awkwardly, because unbeknownst to Diane, it was Larry and Blade who wanted to hang out with him all the time."By the way, I think your mother is getting anxious. I'd better transfer the dowry money to her once I get home. It's not that much anyway!"Severin said after giving it some thought."Oh, it's not that much, you say? This is seven and a half million we're talking about! I think you're getting more arrogant now that you have more money!" Diane felt a little sweet in her heart when she heard him say that. She could not help but add, "By the way, are you really willing to give that much a dowry for me? Given the current circumstances, my mom did say that she's fine with letting us be together even if you just give her about four and a half million or so!"Severin smiled. "It doesn't matter. Your parents are a part of my family too. I'm good with it as long as they're happy, and besides, seven and a half million is peanuts to me!"After ending
"Can I sleep on your bed tonight, honey?" Severin could not resist asking Diane when they went up to the second floor together.Diane's heart began beating quicker when she heard that, and she looked at Severin before saying, "You can, but you're not allowed to mess around! You reek of like alcohol too, so you should go and get a bath before you come to bed!""As you command, milady!" Severin grinned and went to his room to find a fresh set of clothes.Diane could not help but smile when she saw Severin's excited look. After taking a bath, Severin transferred four million dollars to Diane, before doing another transfer of seven million to Felicia."I wonder how Mom will react when she sees the money!" Diane could not help but purse her lips when she received the notification that Severin had transferred the money. Her heart was brimming with sweetness at that time.At that moment, she was wearing a very sexy pink suspender nightdress. When Severin looked at her, he could not help
It was natural for Severin to look forward to some intimacy with Diane since it had been years since he had been with a woman."The deadline is coming soon, so why hasn't Severin transferred the dowry money after earning so much today? Is he trying to delay it so he can avoid paying up? I will never let him be with Diane if he doesn't cough it up!" Felicia cursed incessantly just as she, William, and Megan had reached the Shanahan home.Then, she received a notification on her cell phone. She casually picked it up to glance at the screen, and what she saw frightened her so severely that she froze in place at that instant."One...two...three...four…five...five zeroes. The first digit is seven, the second digit is five…and then it's five zeroes after that…" Felicia counted carefully. After confirming that it was indeed seven-and-a-half million, she could not help but jump up excitedly. "Haha! Seven-and-a-half million! It's seven-and-a-half million! We've struck big this time!""Let m
"Hehe, now you sing his praises? Did you remember how you forced Diane to leave him, and how much you looked down on him?" William snickered from the side. "I just think you like rich people!"Felicia's smile disappeared in an instant when she heard that, and she shot back angrily. "Nonsense! There's nothing wrong with being rich, is there? Or are you saying that you want our daughter to suffer? Do you still want your fishing rod or not? What are you going to use to buy a better rod if you don't have money?”As soon as Felicia threatened him with the fishing rod, he immediately kept quiet and went to the bathroom to take a bath."Grandma, I swear that Severin said he'd treat me today..." Stanley said to the old lady as soon as he got out of the car and returned home.She looked at him coldly and said, "If Severin said he wanted to treat you, would he order so much of those expensive wines? I don't think he's the kind to waste money on that. After all, he came from a difficult backg
The next morning, Severin got up early and drove Diane to the car showroom before going to the Ballards' residence.Since Larry and Blade would be arriving soon, he decided to head there earlier since he was on rather close terms with the Ballards too. However, he did not expect to run into someone he knew as soon as he arrived at the entrance."Well, would you look at that, sir! It's that kid again. I've been planning to bring Brad and the guys to hack him sometime in the next few days. Why is he here?"The person who spoke was Hugo from the Emerald Cloud Gang, and more than twenty of the gang's people were there with him. When he punched Severin the other day and realized that he was no match for the man, he made plans to rally more men to attack Severin and hack him to death. After all, Severin's audacious act of destroying Hugh's manhood should not be left alone.It came as a surprise that Severin would show up right in front of them.Claude frowned as soon as he saw Severin.
Two strong men from the Emerald Cloud Gang attacked from either side of Severin, and their fists were imbued with a fierce punching style, while their attack was swift and fierce.Their moves were formidable and difficult to avoid, and any ordinary person would be pummeled to death in an instant if they were attacked like this. However, Severin was unfazed in the face of their attack and sneered to himself. Rather than avoid them, he clenched both his fists and landed a punch right on his attackers' fists.A dull and slightly muffled sound resonated through the area. The next second, Hugo and Brad flew several meters back and staggered several steps before they could manage to stabilize their body."Aha!" After the two of them were able to stand firm, they felt a sweetness in their throats as a mouthful of warm blood gushed out."What?!" The two of them looked at each other and were unable to contain their shock. It had never occurred to them that they would still be no match for S
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
