"Okay, okay! I know! Ugh, this is such a drag!" Megan replied impatiently to her mother."I think you should take a step back when it comes to anything involving her love life, Mom. Whether or not the guy she likes is rich doesn't matter because we already have more than enough to spend for the rest of our lives. If he's poor, we can just let him stay with our family as a live-in son-in-law." Diane comforted Felicia."But… but I just want the best for her!" Felicia grumbled.They soon went back into their respective cars, but unlike earlier, it was Severin and Diane's car that was at the front. After all, they were the ones who chose which hotel to stay, so the other cars merely followed behind them. However, Severin did not expect to be stopped by several of the city's guards when he reached the city entrance."Is something the matter?" Severin got out of the car and asked the guard.The person who seemed to be in charge said with a smile, "My apologies, but anyone who wishes to
Megan smiled immediately and said, "Hehe, you're the best! Diane was right to choose you."Diane rolled her eyes at Megan as soon as she heard that remark. "Then why did you initially persuade me to leave him? You were just as insistent on persuading me to be with Edward even when Severin had returned!"Megan smiled awkwardly. "That's… that's because we didn't see the bigger picture."Felicia then said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Diane. We couldn't have known then that Severin was such an amazing individual. At that time, he was an ex-convict, and Edward was the son of a second-tier family. We were hoping that you could choose someone who can give you a good life.""Okay, Mom. Let's not talk about the past. Let's just look to the future and live happily," Diane said. She did not want to talk to Felicia and Megan about that."Yeah, I know!" Felicia immediately smiled. "The past is in the past, and we need to look ahead. Our life will only get better and better in the future.""Well
"Maybe you can treat them all to dinner. I bet they'll throw themselves all over us once they know our background." The fat guy remarked when he saw Arnie's excitement.After thinking for some time, Arnie finally said, "They dress well, so there's a chance they're not gold diggers. If anything, all ten of them might be married to that man!""Whoa! That guy is one lucky b*stard then!" the fatty said. "My women ate all the good stuff after coming home with me, and now they're all plump. I can't be bothered to go home anymore, and I'd much rather have fun outside."Dave joked, "Don't your women get angry at you if you're never at home, Moby? Aren't they going to give you a hard time?"Moby said coldly, "Give me a hard time? Please. They wouldn't dare. As far as I know, they're more worried about me chasing them out of the home! They know how much their quality of life will drop if they're kicked out. They're living the high life right now, and all they do is eat, drink, and laze aroun
After all, that was not their first time encountering such a situation.Before Diane and the others could say anything, Moby immediately said, "This handsome young man here is Arnie Pearson, the scion of a second-tier family. If you think about it, it's quite formidable for a family to be recognized as a second-tier family in a place like Skystream City. An upper-tier family like his is considered to be one of the truly wealthy families."However, Severin said with a cold smile, "I'm sorry, but we've never met you, and we're not the kind of people who would want to take advantage of other people's kindness. We appreciate your gesture, but we'd be more comfortable staying in a hotel."Severin was perceptive enough to know that Arnie had ulterior motives for being courteous to them, but he nevertheless refused politely because he did not want to cause trouble in a place like Skystream City.Arnie's lips twitched a few times, and he did not expect that Severin would reject him so deci
Severin sighed helplessly when he looked at Arnie's stubbornness. He took a step forward and said, "Are you sure? If you want to court death, then I'll show you what true despair is so you don't go around thinking that you can do whatever you want in Skystream City.""Haha, you're one mad lad! Get him, boys! Kill him and capture all his women!" Arnie ordered his bodyguards with a wave of his hand. He fumed when he saw Severin fearlessly making such ruthless remarks to him."Charge!" The bodyguards rushed up immediately.Their attainment was not very low since most of them have reached level seven or level eight profound master. In smaller cities, those who had similar strength levels were usually the leaders of the smaller forces. By contrast, such individuals in Skystream City were—at most—ordinary bodyguards who served upper-tier families.There were two bodyguards with a higher attainment base than the rest. One had reached level two warrior king, while the other was level four
The other guy frowned too. "He's dealing with our attacks head-on without using any skills or techniques! Can he even withstand the attack?"However, a huge roar sounded at almost the same time, and both the huge tiger and the flying sword were smashed into pieces by Severin's punch. They crumbled into pieces in midair and turned into powder."That's… that's impossible! How?!" The level two warrior king was so frightened that he retreated two steps back. He shook his head repeatedly, with his face full of disbelief."How did he even achieve that?! He couldn't have been able to withstand that attack if he isn't at least a level six warrior king! He did it so easily too! Could he be a level seven warrior king?" Khaled was also stunned by the scene before him and could only stand there in a daze."Hehe. Time for you to meet your maker!" Severin had no plans to show them any mercy as he dashed toward them and punched both his fists into their chest before they could react.The two war
"What else can we do except carry their bodies and go home right away?" Arnie then gritted his teeth and said, "He and his ten women are staying in this hotel, so it should be easy to find out more about them. I'll head home, inform my father, and bring our strongest men over here. My goal today is to end his life."Moby was just as angry, but he still had the clarity of mind to say to Arnie, "Are you sure you want to tell your father about this? He doesn't like it when you go out hitting on women. You might succeed in bringing your men to kill that kid, but you might not get the chance to play with any of those girls.""That’s right," Dave chimed in. "Knowing your father, he'll take one look at those women and know what's going on. Even if he avenges you and kills that guy, he'll let those women go instead of allowing you to bring them away with you. They're all weak women, after all."Arnie's lips twitched a couple of times, but when he thought of the humiliation that he had suffe
The receptionist looked at Severin in awe. She found him to be quite handsome, and she had no idea which wealthy family was he from to have so many beautiful women around him."Sir, I'm sorry, but we no longer have any ordinary rooms available. Only luxury suites are available right now, but they're on the pricier side." The receptionist said with a smile.Megan's expression soured as she retorted, "What are you trying to imply by that? Do you think that we're unable to afford a luxury suite? How expensive are they, anyway?""One suite costs three thousand dollars a night!""That's super expensive!" Megan was taken aback by the price.The receptionist then explained, "These luxury suites weren't that expensive before, but the price has been driven up because the province governor will be celebrating his sixtieth birthday party. Many who come here from other cities or other provinces are wealthy, so this demand for good rooms in expensive hotels makes the room prices go up.""I se
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
