When Lucy asked that question, Severin shrugged his shoulder and said, "Yes!"After that, he remembered something and said to her, "Oh. My wife told me the Horsfield took all their money and left the city. If I remember correctly, they were the main source of income for your husband. I wonder what the situation is with his family now that the Horsfield fled the city."Lucy's mouth twitched and said with a stone-cold face. "I have nothing to do with Easton anymore. I broke up with him.""You broke up with him!" Severin chuckled. "To be honest, it's not that surprising. I mean he's broke now. Sooner or later, you're going to leave him. But shouldn't you say divorce? Why did you say break up instead?"Severin still remembered very clearly how cruel and cold-blooded Lucy was to him. She refused to return the dowry he gave her. She and Easton even took the matrimonial house Severin bought dishonestly and sold it at a low price to Easton. Furthermore, she requested his parent to pay for
"But I…"Lucy looked at Severin. She bit her red lips and looked down grievingly.Quinn could not bear seeing her best friend getting hurt. She pulled Severin to another side and asked, "Severin. Did you love Lucy before?"Severin nodded. "Yes but that was in the past!""Look. Lucy had specifically dressed up to come to see you tonight. She really regrets it now and she is trying to get back together with you. You guys were together for three years. Now she finally knows the person she loved the most is you!" Quinn said.Severin smiled sarcastically. "Quinn Janssen, you're so silly. Do you know how I endure the five years of jail? I looked forward to the day I finished my sentence. I thought her family and her would take care of my family and my parents when I was in jail."He continued ironically, "But I was too stupid. She didn't wait for me. She didn't look after my family. I can understand all that because I was sentenced to ten years of jail. I don't expect her to wait for m
Lucy smiled awkwardly. "No, no. I'm just overwhelmed to see so many old classmates all of a sudden.""Alright. Since everyone is here, let's go in. I haven't had fun in quite a while. Let's have fun and drink more tonight!" Timothy announced and gathered everyone."Yeah. Let's go in." Matthew nodded and agreed. They entered the bar."Good evening. What kind of room do you prefer? We have the standard room and…"As soon as they walked in, a server came over and asked.Quinn was going to say they would take the standard room. However, Lucy was at the front and she was so used to her lavish lifestyle that she said, "We want the supreme VIP room."Timothy and Quinn frowned. The minimum spending of the supreme VIP room was fifteen thousand dollars. Although this bar was an adequate size bar, the supreme VIP room was the best room there. The spending was not something they could afford. When they came with Easton, they were not afraid because Easton would be the one paying the bill. To
"Hey, Walter, aren't you a programmer?" I remember you have excellent programming skills. Are you still earning a few thousand dollars per month after working for so many years? Isn't that too little? I think you should totally seek a better opportunity. Your company pays you too little."Hannah heard that and expressed her opinion, "Look at me. I'm just a sales but I earn more annually. You are a grown man and you're earning just barely enough."Walter felt embarrassed. " I don't have a choice. I know my company is paying me too little and I know I can get a better offer if I look for a better opportunity. But I don't dare to quit as I like. I don't have any savings. I have a mortgage to pay and a family to feed. I'm not allowed to act as I like. I can't put food on the table if I quit and fail to find a job."Sophia chuckled. "You got married too soon. I remember you married your wife shortly after we graduated. That's what got you into this mess now. If you waited a few longer be
"I have nothing to do with that. We two are basically strangers now!"Severin glanced at Lucy and smirked. Lucy was so angry that she ground her teeth and finished up the glass of red wine in one go. She said, "Severin, do you have to be so harsh? I already told you I made a mistake choosing Easton over you! I hope we can get back together!"Severin said, "That's impossible. My heart dies the night I came back. Have you forgotten so quickly the expression you showed me? How you look at me with disgust and how superior you think you are?""Severin. I'm sorry. I beg you. Please get back together with me!" Lucy replied.After that, she could not care anymore. She sat over to Severin's side and grabbed his hands to press over her bust. "Severine, please forgive me. I beg you!"Cain watched nervously but he did not say anything. His attention was attracted by Lucy's long sexy legs.'What the hell is wrong with Severin? Why is he rejecting such a beautiful woman? Look at that body and
Cain knew he got his chance. He went over to sit together with Lucy with the wine in his hand and said, "Lucy, don't be upset. I don't know what happened between you and Severin. But if he said he doesn't love you anymore, no matter what you say or do is going to change his mind."He paused for a while before continuing, "Besides, isn't it better if you give me a chance? I will treat you with all my heart. I'll buy you anything you want and bring you anywhere you want!"Lucy looked at Cain with a weird expression. Cain was a chubby guy and not as handsome as Severin. He may have earned a buck load of money from overseas and could afford to drive a Ferrari but from Lucy's point of view, he definitely was not as rich as Severin was now. Severin was totally different from his past situation. With Diane's permission, maybe he would take Sheila in too. By then, Brookbourn Mansion would be well under Severin's control too. Thus, it was obvious Cain and Severin were both on different levels
Severin looked over and smiled faintly. "It just proves that this woman does not deserve my love. Believe it or not. You just need to be rich to have her allow you to put your hand on her leg."Hannah frowned. "Why did Lucy become like this? She's so materialistic. Sigh. I don't recall us being so realistic when we were studying."Severin smiled. "It's not a big problem. I mean I can forgive her for betraying me. But I can't bear or tolerate when she ganged up with Easton to bully my parents!"Hannah nodded. "Sigh. I never expect you two to end up like this. Come, Let's cheer!"Severin smiled faintly. "We are classmates. Feel free to come to look for me if you need any help in the future. If it's within my power, I'll definitely lend a helping hand!"He continued to drink for a while before feeling bored staying there. Although he did not have any feelings for Lucy anymore, it was disgusting for him to see her flirting together with Cain. By using the excuse to go to the bathroom,
Cain was feeling delighted and was looking forward to seeing how badly Severin's face was going to look later. All this while, he held a grudge against Severin because Lucy chose Severin instead of him when he had been chasing after Lucy for a long time. Now that he was rich and powerful, it was time for him to take back the things he lost.Matthew was sick of seeing Lucy and Cain cuddling together. He stopped singing and said, "Hey, Cain, Lucy. Don't you think you two have gone too far? Yes, Severin and Lucy have broken up. But can you at least think about his feelings when you two cuddle together?"Walter also joined Matthew, "That's right. It's probably very annoying for him to see you two cuddling together and it's normal if he likes to go out to take a smoke so he doesn't have to see it."Lucy did not agree. "Hmph! You guys saw it too. I begged him so we could be together again. What did he do? He refused to give me a chance. I got my head clear now. I'm only going to be with t
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
