A Week Later…
“Are we going back, Daddy?” Lyla asked.
“Yes, you still have your school,” Maximus replied.
“But I want to stay here longer.”
“Don’t worry; we can come back if we have time,” Maximus explained.
The others were also sad that they would leave.
“Grandson, visit us often,” Francis said, patting Liam’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry; there is a teleportation array. We can come back at any time,” Liam replied.
The others also said their goodbyes, telling them to come visit more.
Soon, they used the teleportation array, arriving at the origin domain, the City of Arcana.
…
City of Arcana:
“We’re back!” Sam and Luke exclaimed.
This time, there was no dizziness whatsoever.
“It seems that it’s really effective,” Maximus thought.
Earlier, he had considered buying a space stabilizer.
But the cost was costly, he didn’t dare to think about it for now.
As an alternative, he bought a Space Distortion Potion.
The function of this potion is to equalize the distortion in the space and their bodies.
The only downside was that they needed to take it every time they teleported.
“This can be sold,” Maximus thought.
He didn’t know if there were similar products here but thought of selling the potion.
Soon they exited the teleportation station and returned to his manor.
…
The next day:
His children dressed up, ready for school.
“Father, what about the thing that I told you?” Liam asked him alone.
“The school for Amara?”
“I already registered her with the Crysalis Guild.”
“However, there are still three months before the next enrollment,” Maximus explained.
“That’s good…” Liam sighed in relief.
Amara was still in the Moonlight Empire and didn’t come with them.
Now that his father had arranged for Amara to go to school.
Liam didn’t worry anymore, and can met Amara three months later.
“Remember to train diligently,” Maximus sighed and patted Liam.
Maximus couldn’t agree more about Liam and Amara’s relationship.
Just thinking of the life points he would get once Liam married Amara, Maximus wished they married sooner.
With Amara’s Rank 9 talent, Maximus could possibly get 100 million life points daily.
Unfortunately, there was still a hidden bomb.
Once Amara regained her memory, it would be up to his son to subdue this immemorial apex sovereign.
…
After his children went to school, he turned to his wives.
“Don’t train for now, I have made an appointment with a Life Warden.”
“Is there something wrong?” Angeline asked nervously.
Hearing that they were going to a Life Warden made them nervous.
Life Warden is a profession like mechanics and alchemy.
Their main job is to cure anything from the physical body to the soul and will.
“No, of course not. We’re just here to check what’s wrong with your bodies that you can’t give birth,” Maximus explained.
“That’s it?” They sighed with relief.
They were also puzzled by this thing.
Previously, Hazel and Erica could give birth almost every year.
But after the birth of their third child, they hadn’t been able to give birth for over five years.
There was also Luna, Liva, Rose, and Angeline, who, after giving birth to one child each, had not experienced further pregnancies.
Maximus had decided to take his wives to a professional to see if there was something wrong with them.
“Let’s go; I’ve already made an appointment with Tintin,” Maximus urged.
The one who would see them was a famous Tier 8 Life Warden.
To secure this appointment, he had waited over a month before it was turn.
Even with his core student status, he couldn’t skip all the lines.
After all, the one coming to this famous Life Warden also had incredible status.
…
In the Tower of Arcana, Life Sanctuary:
“Is this the Life Sanctuary?”
“So much vitality,” Maximus muttered. 𝑶𝑣xt.𝕔𝒪𝑚
He felt that as long as it wasn’t life-threatening, all the injuries here would heal on their own.
Soon, with the help of Tintin, they were able to navigate and arrive at the appointed place.
“Hello,” Maximus bowed in respect to the old woman in the room.
“Are you Maximus?”
“Yes, that would be me.”
“Hmmm, please, have a seat,” the old woman said as she put aside what she was doing.
“I’m Ancientora Seraphina, but you can just call me Hina,” the old woman introduced herself.
“I see that you came here about childbearing.”
“Yes, my wives and I have been having trouble giving birth lately.”
“You seem to already have 11 children. Do you still want more?” Hina asked, looking at the entanglement of will in Maximus’s body.
“Uh, yes,” Maximus nodded.
“Is there something wrong with us?” His wives nervously ask.
“You are mistaken; there is nothing wrong with you.”
“The one in the wrong should be this world.”
“Or should I say it’s the rules of this world.”
“Huh?”
“You see, if there were no limits to childbirth, one person could build the world by themselves.”
“Without limits, sooner or later, this world would be flooded,” Hina explained.
“Indeed,” Maximus nodded.
If it’s just Tier 1 to 5, there is no problem.
Just a few thousand years can’t possibly change the world.
But once you reach Tier 6 or Tier 7, with a few million years of lifespan.
With enough people, you could probably populate the world with just your children. T
here are also those Tier 9 apex sovereigns.
If they can give birth without limit, why would they need ordinary people for?
I’m afraid just one continent is not enough for a family of tier 9 to consume.
“However, is there a solution for this?” Maximus asked.
After all, this is his core interest.
If he could no longer have children, he could only rely on his children in the future.
“Hmm, but even so, there is still a limit.”
“The person with the highest number of children is an apex sovereign, which is 33.”
“Huh? So little?”
“It’s already a lot” Hina rolled her eyes.
“Don’t compare these 33 children with others.”
“13 of these children was already an apex sovereign”
“This is already 1 percent of the Arcane continent, Apex Sovereigns,” Hina said enviously.
“So talented?” Maximus was shocked.
If there is really no limit to childbearing, there might be only one family to rule the entire etherium realm.
“Hmm, due to the rule of the world, there is a limit to childbearing.”
“However, there is also a pro to this.”
“Indeed it is” Maximus nodded.
“You should have noticed, that all your children inherited or even surpassed the talent, of their parents”
“Indeed it is” Maximus nodded.
He thought that he was just lucky or that his talent was higher.
But all his subsequent children have higher talent than him.
“Now you know why having 33 children is already a lot,”
“These 33 children all have rank 9 talent, so reaching tier 9 will be just a matter of time.”
“Then can I have the method to continue to have children?”
“Of course, but it’s not for you to do. It’s for these ladies.”
“Oh, then please do,” Maximus asked.
“Then come here, ladies. As for you, you should just wait.”
“Uh-”
“Don’t worry, husband, leave it to us,” Isabella said excitedly.
She was the only one who did not have a child with Maximus, so she was quite excited.
“Hmm, take care…”
…
In the Elemental World:
After his wives followed Hina, he decided to leave first and train.
According to Hina, it would take his wives a few months to a year to master the method.
“What element to master next…”
He had already finished with the fire element, so he was contemplating what to pursue next.
“It’s you wood element,”
First, he upgraded his wood affinity.
[Wood Affinity: Rank 4 Legendary (0/100,000)]
[11,100,000 PP+]
[Wood Affinity: Rank 7 Transcendent (0/100 million)]
“Now let’s start…”
…
A month later.
“Huh.”
“Wood element complete,” Maximus muttered.
Feeling the new wood affinity soul path in his soul, he smiled with satisfaction.
“Next, the Water Element.”
[Water Affinity: Rank 4 Legendary (0/100,000)]
[11,100,000 PP+]
[Water Affinity: Rank 7 Transcendent (0/100 million)]
“Begin…”
…
A month later
“Another element down,” Maximus muttered excitedly.
“Moreover, it seems that the progress is speeding up.”
Maximus felt that the more soul paths he condensed, the faster he could condense a new element.
It might seem negligible for now, but with over a thousand elemental soul paths he needed to condense.
Maximus might reach the point where it would only take a few days to condense a new one.
“Let’s train more…”
During these two months, nothing significant happened.
His empire was still being developed by his guild members.
The territory given to him in the origin domain was still under construction.
As for the ship needed for the trip in the chaotic sea, the blueprint was still being conceived.
As for his wives, they were still training with Hina.
Fortunately, they could come back from time to time.
As for his children, they still went to class as usual.
“It seems that the kids are having the final test in a month,” Maximus muttered.
“Just right, I can train another element.”
First, he upgraded another element.
[Earth Affinity: Rank 4 Legendary (0/100,000)]
[11,100,000 PP+]
[Earth Affinity: Rank 7 Transcendent (0/100 million)]
“It seems that my potential points can’t keep up,” Maximus muttered, looking at his remaining potential points.
[Potential Points: 20,374,171]
Maximus could only gain over 6,000,000 potential points every month.
With his training pace of one new element per month, potential points were not enough.
Now, Maximus has three solutions to this problem.
First was to have more children, but according to Hina, that wasn’t possible for a while.
Second was to have his children advance in tier.
However, that would damage their foundation for future advancement.
Third was to improve their talent.
His wives and children already had Rank 4 legendary potential.
Furthermore, they had been taking Origin Potions without interruption.
However, Maximus estimated that it would take one or two years for them to upgrade their talent.
“I guess I still have to wait,” Maximus sighed.
“Let’s train first…”
