"But I can't possibly accept that, Zenoah. After all, it's a very precious item passed down within your family!" Though Severin knew deep down that it was a genuine treasure worth taking, he remained courteous and humble despite wanting to take it immediately.After all, it would make him look greedy if he were to take a family heirloom without the slightest hesitation.Felicia, who was watching from one side, had a glimmer in her eyes as she took out it from Zenoah. She then rolled her eyes at Severin and said, "He's offering it to you out of sincerity, so you can't just refuse it like that! Otherwise, they won't be able to live with themselves if you reject it!"Zenoah was unaware of the enigma contained within the jade pendant, so he nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mister Severin. I'd feel bad for the rest of my life if you won't accept it!""I understand. Thank you very much for your generosity then!" Severin could only smile awkwardly and say yes."Thank you, Mister Severin!" Zeno
"Miss Diane! Is there something I can help you with?" Keagan smiled and asked when he saw Diane coming over to him."Wasn't it Mister Valerian who led a team of people to rescue you and your sister? Why did you have to kneel and thank my husband? Could it be a misunderstanding?" Diane asked him.Keagan replied with a surprised expression, "Don't you know, Miss Diane? Your husband seems to be a rather good friend to Valerian. When we were held hostage by one of Falcodom's powerful organizations, it was a phone call from Mister Severin that led Mister Valerian to bring his people and investigate the situation before rescuing us and wiping out that organization!"There was a surge of tumult in Diane's heart as soon as she heard that, since she had never expected something like that to happen.Keagan noticed her surprised look, so he glanced at his surroundings before whispering, "Miss Diane, my father told us that Mister Severin is one of those quiet, low-profile, godlike savants. I b
Severin's attention remained on the jade pendant. He was confident that there was something desirable contained within, and though he did not know its exact contents, he was nevertheless certain that it would be a waste to let Felicia have it.As he pondered over his options, he spotted Megan having some tidbits alone. An idea popped up in his mind and he began walking toward her."Megan, can I…umm…ask for your help?" Severin walked over and asked her with a smile.When Megan heard that, she returned the smile. "What do you need me to do, Brother-in-Law? I'll do it as long as it's within my ability!"Megan's attitude toward Severin had changed completely because he had shown himself to be rich and incredibly capable. She felt that the Shanahans' had prospered in recent times due in no small part to Severin, and things would certainly not have been that good for them had it not been for him. Her dreams of driving a luxury car and buying whatever she wanted could not have been realiz
"A hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, you say? Well, since you are my brother-in-law, I'll go all out for you! After all, it was Mister Zenoah who gave the jade pendant to you in the first place, and it's not right for Mom to take it away!"Megan immediately changed her tune when she heard Severin's improved offer, and she was all smiles as she agreed to Severin's request.When the two of them finished chatting, Sheila walked over shyly and lowered her head. Like a misbehaving child, she said to Severin, "I'm sorry, Severin. I asked you where you were without thinking too much because I didn't know you weren't at the Shanahans."Severin smiled. "Don't beat yourself up about it. Mister Valerian didn't blame me, did he? And besides, I'm sure you didn't mean it.""Hehe, I knew you would forgive me!" Sheila giggled and a smile appeared on her face. She then grabbed Severin's arm."Take it easy with the body contact, Miss Sheila." Severin felt embarrassed and immediately pushed her
"Mister Theo, my man was beaten to a pulp by the person named Severin. The doctor said that he may have difficulty walking even if his leg is fully healed, and he would likely need to use crutches for the rest of his life. You must get justice for him!" Lucy said impassionedly with reddened eyes. "Severin destroyed his attainment too. From now on, Cain said that he might only have the fighting strength of a grandmaster at most, and he will never be able to achieve another breakthrough again.""Severin, right? Do not fret. I'll get someone to kill him. He has it coming for him!"The man looked at Cain before saying to Lucy, "You may rest assured, Miss Lucy. Mister Cain and I are sworn brothers, and I'm a level nine profound master as well. I believe that there wouldn't be anyone in Brookbourn who could be a match for me. I also brought a dozen people with me too, and their strength is around Cain's level. You can be sure that Severin is going to die!"Lucy then said with a faint smil
Outside the ward, more than a dozen men in black suits were standing guard along with two women. Theo came to the two women and said to them, "You two stay here and take care of Cain so his needs can be attended to as soon as possible!""Yes, sir!" The two women glanced at each other and nodded.Lucy then led the group of men away from the hospital. After they left, Lucy booked the best hotel for everyone and brought them to enjoy a good meal. Once that was done, Lucy brought Theo and the group to scout the Shanahans' estate, where she pointed to Severin and Diane. Lastly, she brought them to see Diane's company as well as the villa where Severin stayed with his family. The sun had set by the time that was all done.Theo looked at his subordinates and said to them, "Everyone is hereby dismissed for the day. You're all free to go for a walk and enjoy yourself. Just remember not to cause any trouble! We wouldn't want anything untoward to happen and ruin our plans!" After some though
Lucy's heart skipped a beat and she could tell that Theo was trying to imply something else with that remark. However, she asked him in the hopes that she was just reading too much into his statement, "Would you still like to eat and drink some more?"Theo said with a smile, "I'm much too full already, thanks. I was hoping that we can do something else!"Lucy smiled awkwardly. "I know a good sauna and spa center. How about I bring you there later? Does that sound good?"Unexpectedly, Theo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that just won't do. None of those women can ever compare to you, Miss Lucy! Their beauty is barely a tenth of yours! Women like you who have all the feminine qualities of an ideal woman are exactly the kind of women I like!"Lucy's mouth twitched a few times as she walked forward and said, "But it's not right. This isn't the time for jokes, Mister Theo. How could you do this to Cain when you're his sworn brother? You shouldn't have such thoughts."The sky was
"At least…at least three million!" After thinking for a while, Lucy stretched out three fingers."Okay, three million it is!" Theo then pounced on her and began kissing her.Lucy, however, continued to struggle as she said, "No, not here. Let's go someplace else. It's not the right place to do that sort of thing, and you need to do as you said earlier and give me the money!"By then, Theo had completely lost his sanity and could no longer wait until they went back to the hotel. After looking around, he pointed to a bamboo forest not far away and said, "Let's do it there. We've agreed with each other, and once we're done here, you'll have to stay overnight at the hotel and keep me company!"Lucy did not expect that pervert would be so demanding. However, she finally nodded when she thought about the three million dollars. "Okay. But you need to transfer the money to me before we do anything.""Don't worry. This is just a small sum of money to me!" Theo stepped forward and carried L
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
