Judith got scared by what Severin said and felt embarrassed. 'What's wrong with Severin? Why can't he just tolerate it? He shouldn't bluff and talk nonsense just because he is angry at what they said!'Both Maurice and her were embarrassed about what Severin said."Dad, mom! Stay out of this. I'm a man of my word!" Severin insisted. "Otherwise, how are they going to know Diane had made the right choice?""Hey kid, you really like to bluff, do you? Fine. Show it to me! I'm going to give you a month's time. Let's see if you really have the money. If you failed to do it, you need to promise me to get a divorce with my daughter and let her marry Edward! Do you dare to bet on it?" The anger had gotten into Felicia's head.She glared at Severin angrily. "Since you want to act, I'm going to expose you!""Fine! A month! But what if I fulfilled the dowry and threw Diane a wedding? What are you going to do?" Severin did not back down and glared back at Felicia.Felicia scoffed. "If you rea
"Done. You must hand over seven million dollars of dowry within a month! Haha. Let's wait and see. If you really did it, I'm going to do more than accept you as Diane's husband. I will be sure to call you gently and softly. I can even wash your feet!" Megan mocked.Obviously, she did not believe in the crap Severin said."Haha. Everyone heard that. My sister-in-law has specifically said she's going to wash my feet for me if I fulfill the promise!" Severin laughed again when he heard what Megan said. How stupid of Megan to say such a thing."Severin. Stop it! I know you don't have the money!" Diane's face was looking more and more terrible until she finally reprimanded him angrily."Don't worry. I'm not bluffing!" Severin said seriously.Felicia could not be bothered to waste any more time with Severin. It happened that she just recalled the purpose of this visit. She looked at Diane. "Diane, are you sure you are only willing to go back when grandma comes to pick you up personally
"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? I really can afford to give your parent the amount I said. I want to prove to them that you did not marry the wrong guy. And I really want to throw you a wedding. I swear. Can you please trust me?" Severin put his hand to swear.The genuine look on his face did not show he was lying.Diane thought for a while and thought she had figured it out. "Oh, I know! Are you thinking about selling this villa? I think it costs at least twelve million dollars. The main thing is there are not many villas like this out in the market. I presume we can sell it at thirteen million dollars. Right?"Before Severin could explain, she continued, "Severin, if you are trying to prove yourself by selling this villa, do you think my parent will think otherwise of you? Leaving them aside, I will look down on you. Although this is a gift from Henry, do you think it is appropriate for us to sell it right after he gave it to us?"Severin did not know if he should be
Ever since Fabian Winter, the bank director, saw the figure in Severin's bank account, he had been suffering from insomnia. 'That amount of money! How could a person be able to save that amount of money?' he thought.It would be wonderful if he could keep a good relationship and connection with that man. The bad part was the man did not contact him even once after he gave the man his name card.While he was dozing off out of boredom in his office, his phone rang abruptly. It was an unknown number. He rejected the call immediately because he disliked having spammer call him. However, the same phone number was calling him again within a few seconds.Fabian answered the call. "Hello? Who is this? I'm not interested in taking a loan or planning to renovate and I don't…"Before he could finish his sentence, Severin sounded panicked. "Mister Fabian. I have a favor to ask. I'm Severin Feuillet.""Severin Feuillet? Who are you? Hmm, I don't remember your name. Do I know you?" Fabian tried
"Yeah! We're going to the amusement park! Hurray!" Selen was dancing and waving her hands with joy.As a matter of fact, Diane was still angry at Severin. Having seen this harmonious moment, her anger decreased a little. However, she still insisted to find out if Severin was bluffing. It was really hard for her to believe a generous man would teach him medical knowledge and martial art and also give him three hundred million dollars. Unless the generous man was an idiot.On the way to the bank. Severin was afraid Fabian needed more than 10 minutes to settle the bank card so he purposely drove very slowly.When they were at the bank, Diane said to Severin, "Look, the cash withdrawal machines are over there. We can go check the balance with the machine!"Severin frowned. 'I still haven't got the bank card yet. What should I do?' he thought.Luckily for him, Fabian had been waiting for him since a long time ago. As soon as he spotted Severin, he walked over with a smile and pretended
"Oh, yes! I'm going to the amusement with dad and mom! Hurray!" Selene was so excited that she kept on jumping and skipping in the front.Soon enough, she came running back and looked at Diane. "Mom, or maybe we shouldn't go. You said we are poor and we should spend wisely."Diane was heartbroken knowing she had such a wonderful and caring daughter. Every time Selene wanted to buy a toy or go to the amusement park, she would tell Selene the exact same thing. It resulted in Selene always thinking about how to save money for the family."Silly girl. Your dad is back now. Remember how I tell you that your dad had to go somewhere else to work for money so he can buy you good food and bring you to many places to place? Now your dad is rich and we don't have to be thrifty anymore!"Diane touched Selene's head and knelt down to carry Selene. Later she placed Selene at the back of the car and she took the passenger spot beside Severin."Let's go go go!" Severin smiled and drove the car to
"That's not all, right? You still need to apologize to him!" William said."Fine, I'll apologize if it makes you happy. Having seven and a half million is going to make our life a whole lot better in the future. Unlike during the past few years, I won't have to think twice before buying something!" Felicia said indifferently.Megan, who was on one side, still had a bitter face. "But, I don't want to wash his feet! Gah, why was I so stupid to bet with him at the time? Damn it! I was so overwhelmed with anger that I didn't consider the possibility that he might resort to selling the house!"Having said that, Megan thought of something again, and could not help but smirk. "Then again, he might not necessarily be successful. We've set a deadline for him anyway, and when it comes to matters relating to the sale of a house, it's unlikely that he'll be able to sell it off within a month. And besides, the house is very expensive too, so there's still a chance we might not lose!"After Will
Stanley had to put in a mountainous effort to snatch the position of general manager from Diane a few years ago, and even then, his efforts were in large part bolstered by the incident involving Diane.Business was not very smooth during his first few years after taking over the Shanahan family company, but it was still making money due to the perfect system that Diane implemented. In the past two years, however, his incompetence was gradually emerging. That, as well as inferior hiring practices, led the company to suffer losses in the past two years.Should Diane return and Catherine ask her to help out at the company, the problems plaguing the company would certainly come to light. By then, it might not be possible to hide certain things from the old lady, and Stanley would stand to lose his position. Therefore, Diane's arrogance was exactly what he wanted.When William heard Stanley say that about his daughter, his face soured and he remarked, "My daughter doesn't have it so roug
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
