"In that case, let's just enjoy ourselves tonight and check the city out. It's not like we can resurrect any of them anymore. We'll just avenge them." Meldrick added with a faint smile."You're right. It's already getting late, so I'll get someone to make reservations at a nice restaurant later. We can have a few drinks together and you guys can go take a walk around the city after that." Satchel nodded.Severin and the others had already returned to their hotel by then."We'll probably be meeting Skystream City Mansion's people at the province governor's birthday banquet tomorrow, right? We just offended the mayor's son today, so I'm worried that the other party might try to stir up trouble with us tomorrow." Diane could not help but ask Severin as she leaned against the head of the bed.Severin smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Skystream City Mansion is a strong force, they're still only a city mansion. They might have lots of powerful people, but they still won't be as str
In the middle of a plaza was a big stage that had been temporarily set up, and many superstars were performing on it. Those who were invited to the banquet were undoubtedly all famous people.Outside was a huge open space where guests could park their cars, and many beautifully-dressed female valets assisted the incoming guests."Welcome!" As soon as the car stopped, an extremely sexy woman in a figure-hugging dress smiled politely and walked over. She offered to open the door for Severin and the others.Severin smiled and led everyone toward the entrance."You're here, Severin." Walbert, who had arrived earlier, saw Severin walking with the four beauties and immediately walked over with a smile.His father, Kroan, knew about the previous day's incident and smiled at Severin. "Ah, so you're the infamous Severin? You're quite a bold person. I heard that you offended our family as well as Skystream City Mansion. I didn't think you'd be so brave as to attend the banquet today too! Yo
Regan continued to flatter Severin. "Of course! He became a governor at a young age and is now one of four powerful governors! He keeps a very low profile though, and this might be his first time in Skystream City, which is why you never met him before.""He is young, as you say, but I don't know if there's anything about him that can be considered 'low profile'!" When Kroan thought about the two warrior emperors who would kill Severin soon, he did not care about Severin's status as a county governor and smiled coldly at him with a hint of contempt."Hey, Dad, aren't there people who are young and capable but eventually die young? I remember that there's a phrase used to describe such a situation. I wonder what's it called again?" Walbert had an idea and asked Kroan on purpose.Kroan froze for a moment, pretended to think for a while, and finally said, "I think it's called an untimely demise. It's a shame, really. Such people are genuinely talented, and they would stand to achieve a
Regan smiled and led Severin's group toward the gate."That b*sard! I'm so pissed off right now! Is he saying that I'm going to fail?" Walbert stood rooted to the ground, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth as he watched Severin enter the room."Don't worry about him. He's as good as dead."Kroan snorted coldly, glanced outside, and said, "The people from the Skystream City Mansion aren't here yet. Should we wait outside and tell them about the situation later?""Sure. We would stand to benefit from establishing a good relationship with our mayor." Walbert nodded and said with a faint smile, "Besides, their backer is a sect called the Stormy Moon Sect. They're much stronger than other first-tier families, and even the province governor wouldn't dare to offend them!""Master!" Severin was just about to enter the door when a familiar voice called out to him. The person who came was none other than Benjamin, the son of South Link City Mansion's mayor who had become an apprenti
"By the way, Mister Satchel, where are the two disciples from the Stormy Moon Sect? Why aren't they with you?" Walbert looked around and asked Satchel.Satchel then explained, "They'll be here soon. It's still early anyway, and they'll probably be waiting until the banquet is over in a cafe or restaurant just opposite here.""That's great, that's great." Walbert nodded, looked at the gate again, and said, "Severin is still over at the entrance. He hasn't come in yet.""I'm aware of that. So that's a level nine warrior king, huh? He's a very talented person, but he didn't just offend us this time. Now that he's even offended a force as powerful as the Stormy Moon Sect, his death is all but certain." Satchel nodded, glanced at Severin from a distance, and said pitiably, "It's a shame, though. He has reached level nine warrior king at such a young age, and with his talent, it will probably only be a matter of time until he becomes a warrior emperor."Riken came up to them and agreed l
"By the way, since you're a county governor, you must've prepared a very unique gift for the province governor, right?" Satchel thought for a moment and smiled coldly before deliberately trying to put Severin in a hard spot.He believed that Severin did not have much money after only being appointed not too long ago, and although the county mansion had great potential for development, all of that was speculative income. Out of all the county governors he had met, he believed that Severin was the one who had taken up office the most recently.Severin knew that Satchel was trying to make him look bad on purpose, so he smiled slightly and said, "It should be decent, I suppose. This is our first time here, after all, so we can't be stingy now, can we?""Haha, how about we head on in then? We shouldn't be standing in the way of everyone at the entrance. It'd be better if we headed to the waiting lounge for now." When Regan saw the situation, he knew that there was something amiss about t
Although the people kept their voices down as they were chatting with each other, Severin could still overhear their conversation as soon as he entered the door.He could not help but smile as he led Diane and others to find a place to sit.However, he did not expect that Satchel would overhear the same conversation too. Satchel immediately made a loud announcement to introduce Severin to everyone. "May I have your attention, please? I'm sure all of you are curious about the identity of the newly-appointed head of South County Mansion, so allow me to introduce you to him!"He then looked right at Severin, grinned cheekily, and then began his introduction, "That's right, this man right here is Mister Severin, the South County's governor! As you can tell, he is a young and promising individual who is only in his twenties. He mentioned that this is his first time attending the province governor's birthday, and the gift he plans to bestow to the province governor is said to be one that
Meanwhile, Satchel had an ugly expression on his face. Despite initially wanting to put Severin under public scrutiny, Severin was able to turn the situation around with eloquence and successfully strengthen his relationship with Timon.To everyone's surprise, an old man came forth with a smile and said, "You're both right. As the four county governors under Skystream Province, we must always help each other whenever we encounter any troubles. We mustn't emulate those with questionable characters who like secretly playing tricks behind one's back."Severin could discern the presence of a deeper meaning behind his words, and he immediately nodded at the person while asking humbly, "May I ask who you might be?"Regan hastily explained, "This is the West County's governor, Fonzo Shanahan."Severin immediately said, "Mister Fonzo! I am pleased to make your acquaintance today!" Severin then glanced at Fonzo's legs and could not help but frown. "What happened to your leg?"Fonzo had to
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
