“The Map is finished?”
Maximus quickly returned to Moonshadow City.
“You finished the application quickly,” Maximus praised.
“This is because of the ingenious rune inscribing artificial intelligence you created, leader,” Cereb said excitedly.
In the official student trial in the wasteland world, Cereb was mainly in charge of various robots and their programs.
Seeing the rune inscribing AI his leader created, gave him some wonderful ideas.
“It’s also your credits. I’ll triple your credit reward this time.”
“Leader, can I instead study here?” Cereb pleaded.
“You want to study this thing?”
Cereb hurriedly nodded.
“Then you can upgrade it as well.”
“This is the program system I compiled,” Maximus said, tossing him a book.
“Thank you, leader!”
“Hmm,” Maximus just nodded and activated the Map application.
…
At Moonlight Academy:
Two students were walking leisurely when suddenly their tokens vibrated.
“Huh? Is there a notification from the school?” Timothy muttered, seeing his friend also take out his token.
Timothy was the most talented student in the academy after Amara transferred to the Arcane Continent.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take long.
After billions of people came to the Moonlight Empire.
The academy was flooded with various talents, forcing them to have stricter criteria.
In the past, you could study at the academy if your talent reached rank 3.
Now, it needed to be at least rank 4.
Furthermore, you needed to pass various tests to be eligible.
“This? An application update?!” Timothy said loudly, breaking the stupor of the other students.
“I can’t believe that there will be a new application even after all these years,”
“I thought, Your Majesty became lazy”
“Hey, it must be that it’s hard to create a new application.”
Timothy continued to chatter, not noticing the students looking at him gloomily.
They couldn’t bear anyone insulting their majesty.
Pack!*
Xavier, his friend, patted him heavily, breaking his chattering.
“Huh?” Seeing Xavier look at him meaningfully, he looked around.
“Uh, I didn’t mean to criticize his majesty,” Timothy quickly apologized.
In truth, he was a self-proclaimed number one fan of the emperor.
“He was just excited, don’t mind,” Xavier helped smooth things out.
The students also knew the two, so they were lenient.
If it was a newcomer who insulted their majesty, then they were in for a beating.
The school didn’t explicitly prohibit this, aslong as there was not much damage.
…
Timothy and Xavier quickly escaped and began to study the new application.
“Moonlight Map?” clicked through the app.
They saw a replica of the Moonlight Empire.
“Whoa!”
“Wow, is this a real-time map?” Timothy muttered, seeing a red dot that represented himself.
“Is this my home?” Looking at his home from the above perspective is somewhat new.
“Hey, I didn’t know Mother created a garden in the backyard.”
Seeing there was a search function, he tried to search for his hidden rich man friend’s properties.
“Wow, Brother Xavier, you’re so rich!” Timothy was shocked.
Looking at the dots like stars, his mouth salivated, imagining such a huge amount of money.
“It’s nothing.”
“What do you mean, nothing?”
“Looking at your property, you must be the richest in the Moonlight Empire!”
“Indeed, I am,” Xavier admitted.
With his genius mind and the empire’s perfect rules for business, he became a millionaire unknowingly.
This is in crystal credits, equivalent to magic crystal.
It can be said that Xavier’s wealth surpasses those tier 4 that just came to Moonlight Empire.
“What?! Why didn’t you tell me?!” Hearing his friend’s confirmation, he was still shocked.
“Furthermore, a few days ago, you asked me to treat you to a meal!”
“How dare you, a rich man, rip me off!” Timothy complained endlessly, like a mother-in-law.
“Alright, alright, I’ll treat you the other day,” Xavier sighed, covering his ears.
“Hahaha, you should be! I’m your one and only best friend!” Timothy laughed happily.
…
Two months later, Maximus looked at his system panel.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Soul Tier 4: Elemental Mage – Level 1
Body Tier 5: Lunar Knight – Level 1
Soul Amplitude: 4,755
Soul Will: 417
Life Points: 151
Potential Points: 14,522,167
Condensed Soul Path: 1,115 Elements
1118 types of Tier 3 spells: Proficient (178.4 billion/330 billion)]
“Only three more elements,” Maximus muttered. 𝚘𝑣𝐞xt.𝑐𝓞𝗆
With the amalgamation of will that he could convert every day, worth millions of system points, his progress in training was enormous.
“Chaos, Creation, and Fate…”
While one could practice time or space with only 575 12:11
complementary elements/
These elements were the three supreme elements that surpassed even the time and space elements.
While one could practice time or space with only 575 complementary elements/
Mastering the supreme elements required mastering all the basic elements that made up the world.
[Chaos Affinity: Rank 0 Trash – 0/10 million]
[Creation Affinity: Rank 0 Trash – 0/10 million]
[Fate Affinity: Rank 0 Trash – 0/10 million]
“So many…” Maximus was overwhelmed.
It should be noted that other basic elements only required at least 10 points, with the highest being in thousands, to upgrade to rank 1 common affinity.
“Now I can have 200 thousand potential points daily,”
“Plus about 10.5 million points I can convert with the amalgamation of will…”
Maximus calculated the points he needed to upgrade these three supreme elements’ affinity.
“One month.”
“I just need a month to become Tier 5,” Maximus grew excited.
In just two and a half years, he could upgrade from Tier 4 to Tier 5.
Furthermore, it’s condensing all elemental soul paths, not just advancing with two or three elements.
“I need to accumulate origin energy, just in case…” Maximus thought.
Hopping in to grind on the ancient battlefield nonstop.
…
A month later,
[Potential Points: 335,173,237]
[World’s Origin Energy: 160,827]
Maximus opened his eyes, having finally accumulated enough potential points.
“Huh~”
“Fighting is really exhausting…”
Maximus had grown numb to the endless fights.
It had come to the point where his fighting had become instinctive.
If in the past he had to think carefully, now his body automatically moved to the optimal position.
“This can also be regarded as training,” Maximus sighed.
After all, even with his transcendent mastery in fighting, it was all in his mind.
He could only execute it perfectly due to his control over his body.
Turning toward his panel, he first upgraded his supreme element affinity.
[+330,000,000 PP]
[Chaos Affinity: Rank 2 Uncommon – 0/1 Billion]
[Creation Affinity: Rank 2 Uncommon – 0/1 Billion]
[Fate Affinity: Rank 2 Uncommon – 0/1 Billion]
“Unfortunately, I can only reach rank 2 affinity…”
Maximus had no time to wait to upgrade his affinity to a higher grade.
His only solution was to use a large amount of world’s origin energy.
This energy was equivalent to a day’s worth of training.
With more than 160 thousand units of origin energy, it was equivalent to training for about 450 years nonstop.
“I hope it’s enough…” Maximus closed his eyes and tried to add points.
…
A few days later, in the City of Arcana:
Suddenly, a huge commotion erupted.
The mana throughout the entire city began to agitate as if it finally found its source.
“What happened?”
“Is someone breaking through to tier 9?”
The city’s inhabitants reacted.
But the phenomenon abruptly stopped as if nothing had occurred.
“Huh? Maybe it was just a mana surge.”
“It should have been a mana surge.”
The people reacted and dismissed the event, realizing they had only been imagining things.
…
At the highest point of the Tower of Arcana:
“Someone succeeded in condensing three supreme elements at once?!” Dean Fealan muttered.
He first calmed the agitated mana with a wave of his hand before investigating the source.
Soon, his perception landed on Maximus.
“Maximus Shadowcrest…” Fealan recalled.
“As expected of a core student,” Fealan nodded proudly.
Fealan himself had only managed to condense one supreme element, which was chaos.
With the combination of 1115 basic elements and one supreme element.
His Darkness Origin Power was one of the strongest in the world.
“Unfortunately, you’re practicing a defective cultivation method,” Fealan muttered, noticing the mana calculation Maximus was using.
From tier 1-3, you absorb mana.
From tier 4, you condense elemental paths.
At tier 5, cultivation differs and requires delicate care.
At this stage, you need to weave all the mastered elemental soul paths into one, marking the beginning of your path.
For example, Fealan had condensed 1115 elements into the darkness element.
From then on, he could only use the darkness element.
However, because of the combination of the 1115 elements.
His darkness elements were stronger than the supreme elements.
The reason Fealan considered Maximus’s chosen training manual defective was because its goal was greedy.
Instead of concentrating all condensed elements into one.
The Gaia’s Primal Origin diverged all these condensed elements to be independent.
Although you could use all elements, the flaw was obvious: they were weaker than other elements.
The only redeeming quality of this approach was that once you merge with the tier 11 branch of the world tree.
The power of the diverged elements would be multiplied.
But it was still weaker than elements that were condensed using more than a thousand elements.
“I should inform this brat so he doesn’t waste his talent,” Fealan decided.
“I hope that brat is not as stubborn as those 3, epochs ago.”
