Three months later, in the City of Arcana, at Soul Kitchen.
Maximus was in a top restaurant, gathering with his friends.
“Maximus, when will you go back to fight in Ancient Battlefield?” Ragnar asked.
“I don’t know; there’s still a lot of origin energy left for me to spare.”
“I will not fight again before I finish it,” Maximus answered.
He was already a Platinum rank in the ancient battlefield, equivalent to tier 6.
(Bronze, Copper, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legendary, Battle God)
Although he could forcibly defeat his opponent, it’s too troublesome.
After all, he was only tier 5; showing off too much may have a degree of influence.
The individuals fighting in the Ancient battlefield are not ordinary people.
Just to reach Platinum rank, you need to be somewhat invincible in the 6th tier.
“Pity, I don’t have you as an opponent,” Ragnar sighed.
“Don’t worry; just a few million more battles and I will also reach Platinum rank,” Griffin chimed in.
Helmsworth Griffin was the first friend he made upon coming to the Arcane Continent.
By now, even their families on the Curse continent were in alliance.
The Helmsworth Empire didn’t have much ambition, thinking only to continue their bloodline.
So in the fight for the Supreme Throne of the Curse continent, they continued to be neutral.
“Then I will wait for you,” Ragnar said with fighting intent.
The two of them became best friends through Maximus.
A battle maniac to a battle maniac, they had a lot of topics to talk about.
“Hey, you should quickly train yourself dutifully instead of fighting,” Sith advised.
A few years ago, when the blueprint of the ship was finished.
Sith came back to his daily routine of studying knowledge and training.
However, even now, the four people in the booth, including Maximus, were still 5th tier.
It’s not that their progress is slow, but because the cultivation manual they had contains almost all the elements in the world.
Even Griffin, joining his guild, got a complete cultivation manual for free.
“By the way, where is Lilith? It’s already late,” Ragnar complained.
They gathered today to meet Lilith, who had just finished her devil training.
However, the food was already being served, but she was still not here.
“She should be here in a few minutes,” Maximus replied.
Just now, Lilith notified him that she would be late by a few minutes.
“Oh.”
…
As the clock ticked by, Lilith finally arrived.
“You’re here!” Maximus greeted as his eyes lit up.
The demeanor of Lilith changed a little.
Besides the innocence, there was also a little bit of a fierce aura.
It seemed that the devil training she did worked a lot.
“Hello~,” Lilith said shyly.
“Come sit here,” Maximus offered with a smile.
“Okay…” Lilith obeyed like a good wife.
“Here, eat this while it’s still hot.”
“Oh~”
“Is it delicious?” Maximus asked, looking into her eyes.
“Delicious!” Lilith nodded as she blushed.
“You should also try this, it’s a specialty of the Soul Kitchen.” Maximus grabbed a spoonful of food and fed Lilith.
“Oh,” Lilith nodded as she unconsciously opened her mouth.
The interaction between Maximus and Lilith left the people in the booth dumbfounded.
“When did the relationship between the two of you become so good?” Ragnar couldn’t help but ask.
“Hasn’t our relationship always been good?” Lilith looked puzzled.
“You’re hopeless.” Ragnar didn’t ask further, as he was signaled by Maximus.
“Let’s eat first.” Maximus quickly changed the topic.
…
After eating, they toured around the city, visiting all the entertainment facilities.
Playing, shopping, and eating, Maximus and Lilith’s relationship unknowingly became closer.
Until dawn, they held hands as if it were normal.
As for the three light bulbs, after eating, they were too embarrassed to be a third wheel and left after some time.
“Where are you going now? Are you going to continue your training?” Maximus asked as he looked into her eyes.
“Uh, my sister only allowed me a few days of rest,” Lilith answered pitifully.
“Can’t you ask for a few months of rest?” Maximus frowned.
“No, my sister is quite strict.”
If it were not for her insistence, her sister might not even let her rest.
“Hey, then we can only make your vacation worth it.” Maximus comforted with a smile.
…
Within a few days, he took Lilith to tour all around the city, even halting his training.
His wives even got a little jealous and joined midway.
As for Skye, she also took a break from training and joined them.
The scene of Maximus taking beauties around the city soon became a sensation.
Although there are many beauties comparable to his wives, their demeanor completely defeats others by a landslide, with only a few being comparable.
After all, being nourished by various treasures and his system, how can they be comparable to others?
…
Three years later, in the Training Chamber.
“Huh~”
“Finally filled in the soul will,” Maximus muttered.
Looking at his panel, he couldn’t help but smile.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Tier 5: 2.96%
Mana Compatibility: Rank 9 Dimensional Source
Soul Amplitude: 10,000,000
Soul Will: 10,000,000]
Feeling that his thoughts were clearer, he felt that trillions of system points didn’t go in vain.
Now he can concentrate on mastering tier 7 knowledge and earn money before improving his affinity.
During these years, everything proceeded as normal.
His empire was still dealing with the Sea Beast tide while fortifying the place.
It seemed that Sea Beasts could be generated with only mana, as they never end.
Fortunately, under the tireless effort of his guild members, everything is still peaceful.
However, the other empires were not having a good time.
The prolonged Sea Beast Tide began to wear down the army, as their amalgamation of will began to decline.
As for the various kingdoms, they were either incorporated by other empires or disappeared from the map.
Speaking of his guild, due to his unremitting efforts, the members of the guild were about to reach a hundred million.
Although it’s incomparable to other guilds, in the same rank, it was already worth celebrating.
With about a hundred million guild members.
The progress of the tier 9 ship that they were creating was about to be completed.
Maximus estimated that it would only take about 10 to 15 years before it’s finished.
One had to know that this is a tier 9 ship vessel.
Usually, it would take thousands of years just to create a prototype.
However, with unremitting efforts and unlimited investments, it was shortened by just a few decades.
Maximus calculated that his investment already reached quintillions of magic crystals.
Fortunately, there is no one doubting about his source of wealth until now.
Most of this is thanks to his core student status and the uncaring attitude of the Apex Sovereigns.
After all, a few quintillions were just peanuts for them.
Owning a whole domain, their wealth can’t be counted using magic crystals.
As for his family, they were progressing at a lightning speed.
His wives had reached tier 5, and his children had reached tier 4.
The credit for this is that their talent was upgraded from rank 5 Mythic to rank 6 Divine.
Upgrading talent is not as fast as regaining it, even with top-notch resources.
Even Amara, who was using the Origin Mana Pool to regain her talent, was still stuck at rank 8.
Amara still needed a few years before she could fully regain her talent.
Unfortunately, his stupid son, Liam still didn’t seize the opportunity and was still flirting with Amara, taking it slow.
Unlike his stupid son, Nathan sized the opportunity he got.
By now, Zoe was already a few months pregnant.
There was no hesitation at all, if it were not for their high tier, Zoe must have already had a child by now.
Within a few years, he could finally have grandchildren.
As for why it would take a few years of pregnancy, it’s because they use a technique to increase their child’s potential.
Instead of the child inheriting just their parents’ potential, it can go above it to produce a prodigy.
Maximus also invested all-out in this, not sparing a bit of money.
Even Lux was a little jealous of the amount of money invested.
As for his other wives, Emma and Jane, there was still no movement until now.
It seems that it’s really getting harder and harder to conceive a child.
Even with all kinds of treasures he found on the Myriad World Mall, nothing is of use.
Maximus can only do his best and pray for a little luck.
During these three years, the progress of the Aetherium Pavilion also came to a bottleneck.
Before spreading to other domains, Lux hoped to enhance the strength of his subordinates.
After all, compared to other domains, the Silverleaf Domain has only existed for a few thousand years.
What they will face next is more cruel predators that will devour their blood regardless.
However, with tens of millions of members on full-out training, even Lux’s income of a few quadrillion a year is not enough.
Lux can only continue to borrow money from his cheap father.
Thinking of his cheap son, Lux, Maximus couldn’t help but sigh.
Such an ambitious son, he couldn’t help but hurry and create another child.
Maximus would like to see what heaven-defying genius he will produce.
Perhaps that child of his can suppress Lux to the ground.
Thinking of the funny scene, he noticed his wives had come home.
“Let’s try today, see if I’m lucky…”
