Severin did not expect such threats to from Phoebe and slapped her without hesitation. "And who do YOU think you are? You're just a small regional manager of And Only Jewelry Corporation in the south county. How dare you show such arrogance in front of me?""You..." Phoebe glared angrily at Severin. After all, the And Only Jewelry Corporation was a powerful force under Dracodom's most powerful families. That was also the reason that she could do whatever she pleased and had a sense of superiority even though she had a low grandmaster-level attainment. It never would have occurred to her that the man from such a small town would dare to beat her up.However, she could only grit her teeth and suppress her anger because she knew that even the most powerful of people would find it difficult to control the lower-life scum. It would certainly do her no good if she was killed by him out of displeasure."Spit it out! Who is the buyer? I want to know who it is that I can't afford to offend!"
"I haven't notified the other three yet, so just pass on the message to them for me. I won't call them one by one to inform them!" Severin said to Beryl after some thought."Don't worry! I promise I'll let them know!" Beryl said excitedly."By the way," Severin then said, "I do need your help with one other thing!" Severin said."Say the word! I won't back down even if it means having to go through a valley of swords and a sea of fire!" Beryl replied without a second thought."Ahem, it's not that serious!" Severin then smiled wryly and said, "I'm sure you know the And Only Jewelry Corporation, right? Tell them to send the necklace and ring set called 'The One And Only' back to me! I ordered it in advance, but they seem to be trying to curry favor with the South County Mansion by delivering the jewelry to South Link City at the expense of breaking the agreement they had with me!""How dare those insolent fools treat you like that? I swear I'll make life difficult for their family!"
[Eight days from now? Awesome! I'll be there!] Horace was excited after seeing the news.[Haha, we'll have to raise a glass to our master, because we wouldn’t be where we are today without him! Let's bring glory to him!] Warren said excitedly.They all had a great time chatting and it was one of those rare times where the group was so lively.…"Haha, it's so amazing for us that The One And Only was sold to South Link City's South County Mansion!" At that moment, several members of the Sanchezes had big smiles all over their faces in a mountainside villa. However, their old patriarch Sergio Sanchez, had a frown as he said, "Even though we've earned an extra forty-five thousand, I still feel sorry for our client in Brookbourn. We can't change the fact that they made the appointment well in advance!"At that moment, his son Carlito Sanchez smiled and said, "You're overthinking, Dad. We're businessmen, and the job of a businessman is to make money. Besides, Brookbourn is small, and
Sergio racked his brains to try and figure out when did his family offend someone like Beryl."Dad, what, what should I do?" Carlito, who had initially thought that he could take charge of everything, was so frightened that he was at a loss as to what to do. In the end, he could only wipe off his cold sweat and look at his father for directions.Sergio said, "What else can we do? They demanded our presence, so what other choice do we have except to go? Heck, I think we should be heading there as soon as we can!" After a pause, he added, "I hope it's just a misunderstanding, and that she mistook one of our family members for someone else who offended Beryl.""Yeah! Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding! We're not idiots who would offend her willy-nilly. Besides, didn't you already instruct us to keep a low profile and be more mindful of the way we carry ourselves?" The middle-aged woman from before echoed Sergio's sentiments after some thought."Hey, you guys carry on with your mea
Sergio and Carlito were completely speechless. They never would have thought that Beryl would get upset because of that incident. Moreover, she even knew who it was that paid the deposit first, which was even more appalling to them."Ma'am, the main reason is that the son of South County Mansion also happened to be getting married on the same day. They took a liking to that same ring and necklace too!" Carlito said with a bitter face."We're afraid of offending those at South County Mansion!" Sergio then added.After Beryl heard that, she smiled and said, "Your family is rather influential, so what's there to be afraid of them? The way I see it, you were probably under the impression that the buyer from Brookbourn is a nobody, so you chose the option that benefits you best." After a pause, Beryl continued, "You don't have to worry. Just send the ring and necklace to Brookbourn tomorrow. There's no need for you to explain why to South County Mansion. If they aren't happy with you, th
The store manager lowered her head and said, "It…it was me. I had no choice because he said that he'll kill me if I don't tell him!"Phoebe was speechless for a moment, but soon gritted her teeth and said, "That pervert! He probably thinks he can do whatever he wants, but he's dreaming if he thinks he can take the necklace and ring from South County Mansion!"All of a sudden, she received an unexpected call. After answering it, she stood rooted to the ground like a statue."Is something the matter, ma'am?" the store manager asked.Phoebe then explained, "I've received a call from headquarters saying that the ring and the necklace will be delivered to Brookbourn tomorrow morning. They want us to meet them at the airport, after which we will have to deliver them to our customer as quickly as possible!" She gulped and then added in disbelief, "Moreover, they insisted that I offer a sincere apology to the customer and give them the pieces for free as a congratulatory gift from the Sanc
The smiles on Megan and Felicia's faces stiffened, and Megan even said, "But how? You're kidding, right? I bet you're just joking with us. Come on now, hurry up and show us the ring and necklace!"Felicia also said, "Yeah. Now's not the time for jokes. The Shanahans are one of the best in Brookbourn when it comes to status. Who would dare to snatch something from under your nose? Besides, didn't you already pay the deposit yesterday? Since you have, then you're legally the buyer! They can't just sell the item to anyone else!"Their surprised looks elicited a bitter smile from Severin as he said, "They're from South County Mansion. It just so happens that the leader's son is getting married on the same day as I am, and he had his eye on the same necklace and ring too!""South County Mansion!" Megan and Felicia were shocked once more.Megan frowned. "Guess we'll just have to give in. This is a county mansion we're talking about! We won't be able to do anything, and it's not like we c
A character like him would naturally be subject to the ingratiation of many in the business world, yet he came to Brookbourn in person with the sole purpose of escorting the ring and necklace."Have you found out where Severin lives? We're here today to visit him and apologize in person!" The man, Dietmar Hoarke, walked up to Phoebe and asked seriously.In response, Phoebe said, "I've already gotten that information, Mister Dietmar. We've prepared several cars specifically to pick you up!" After saying that, Phoebe could not help but ask tentatively, "What's going on, Mister Dietmar? Wasn't this originally supposed to be given to the South County Mansion today? Why did you suddenly change their mind and have it sent to Brookbourn?"The store manager also asked, "Could this Severin person also be a big shot that we can't afford to offend?"Dietmar smiled wryly and said to the two of them, "I am in no position to reveal certain matters, so I hope you won't pry anymore. All you need 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
