A few weeks later,
Maximus, with his family and friends, began the wedding ceremony.
As he gazed at his endlessly charming wives, Maximus couldn’t help but fall into a daze.
It had been about 300 years since he transmigrated into this world.
From a fledgling noble without even a hint of family.
Maximus had reached a point where he had 11 wives, 13 children, 5 daughters-in-law, and 4 grandchildren.
In 300 years, having 34 people that he can call a family, Maximus is already satisfied.
However, as the owner of the family and power system, he could be considered unworthy.
Just dozens of family members?
If it were someone else, although they might not reach a million, they would probably have at least tens of thousands of family members.
Although this world limits the number of one’s descendants, it doesn’t limit the number of partners one can have.
Unfortunately, once Maximus reached a certain point, his heart hardened.
No beauty could capture his heart anymore.
Even if the system vouched for it, giving someone a high rating.
For him, it was just that.
Fortunately, he had already found an alternative path, rendering the system still usefull.
Absorbing the energy of the world with the leverage of his family? It was too inefficient.
Spoon-feeding energy into his system with his unlimited energy was the way to go.
After exchanging vows and making promises, the party continued.
Hundreds of years passed, and generations of time.
Hazel’s family, from her parents to her siblings, multiplied to thousands.
The original farmers’ origins now looked like a fully-fledged noble family that had seen everything in the world.
Hazel’s family was now one of the top families in the Moonlight Empire, with the largest land, promoting agriculture and aquaculture in the empire.
Fortunately, under the teaching of their parents, they didn’t become too arrogant.
Then there’s Erica’s father, the chubby middle-aged man Francis.
Owning most of the restaurants in the Moonlight Empire and being the godfather of gastronomy.
Francis was a famous figure in the empire.
He was also the favorite uncle of his children, often exploring the wonders of food.
Francis is also quite pure; no woman or glory could seduce him, only food.
Rose’s family also prospered.
They became one of the top scholarly family, with many of their branches managing the empire.
With absolute strength, Maximus didn’t care if there was any nepotism involved.
As long as the empire ran smoothly, he would turn a blind eye to it.
There is also Irene’s family dominating various industries in the empire.
From textiles to alchemy and mechanics, it can be said that they are one of the richest families in the empire.
With business cooperation with Maximus over a hundred years ago, they were already doing quite well in the Arcane continent.
Maximus also gave them land decades ago to settle in the Moonlight Empire.
Overall, his wives’ families were doing quite well.
With his protection, their lives were smooth sailing, with no one in their way.
While having a banquet, Maximus suddenly felt over a thousand apex sovereigns coming to them.
“Dean?” Maximus muttered, seeing Fealan.
As for the others, they were mostly the apex sovereigns who usually traded with him.
He also saw Lilith with his sister, Freya.
Earlier, he also invited Lilith; however, because she was busy with her training and her sister restricted her, she could not come.
Seeing her come, it seemed that she managed to finish her insane training schedule.
“Maximus, I am here to congratulate you for becoming the Holy Emperor of the Curse Continent.”
“Furthermore, it seems that it was also your wedding. Congratulations,” Fealan said formally.
“Thank you, Dean.”
“We are also here to extend our greetings,” the others said, giving their gifts one by one.
“Thank you.”
Although Maximus had a smile on his face, he didn’t think that their visit was purely to congratulate him.
“Let us eat first,” Maximus suggested.
Not wanting to disturb the event, they also held back their intentions.
Seeing them seated gracefully and smilingly interacting with his family relatives, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it seemed that they were not here with bad intentions.
Otherwise, a thousand apex sovereigns could wreak havoc in the empire.
As they got seated, Dean, Freya, and Lilith flew toward him.
“Brat, you didn’t tell me that today is your wedding. If not for my daughter telling me, I wouldn’t even know,” Fealan said, sounding like an old grandfather.
“I didn’t want to disturb you with your busy schedule, Dean,” Maximus said helplessly.
As one of the top powerhouses in the Etherium realm, although Fealan could clone himself, the tasks he did every day were enormous.
To develop the Arcane Continent today was all due to his relentless effort.
However, after processing what Fealan had said, Maximus paused.
“Daughter?” Maximus asked with puzzlement on his face, looking at Freya.
“Yes, Freya and Lilith are my daughters. Didn’t you know?” Fealan asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“This—” Maximus was a little dumbfounded, looking at the three individuals in front of him.
As far as he knew, Fealan was quite ascetic; he saw and treated everyone as grass, not even having a partner.
Furthermore, Lilith was only a few hundred years old.
How could she possibly be Fealan’s daughter?!
“Father conceived us with a special method; we are what you call innate beings,” Freya explained, looking at the man in front of her with interest.
Such a beautiful man; it’s no wonder her sister was so infatuated.
Even his daughters was such a cute little creatures.
“Innate beings, like the born creatures of the world?”
“Hmm,” Fealan just nodded without explaining further.
Although Fealan was ascetic, his love for the world was immeasurable.
As the abyss drew nearer and nearer, his worries grew deeper and deeper.
Wanting to solve this predicament, Fealan followed a taboo method and conceived Freya with the help of the Etherium world origin.
Unfortunately, although the experiment succeeded, Freya was not what he expected.
Although Freya was a genius at fighting, even close to Malgron, she had one glaring flaw: the desire for beauty.
Freya could fight and kill anything that didn’t catch her eye.
However, if a beautiful thing were in front of her, even if it was the most evil thing, Freya would be reluctant to kill it.
Such a glaring flaw couldn’t withstand the sinisterness of the abyss.
Not wanting to risk it, Fealan continued to create another being.
Thus, after thousands of epochs, Lilith was born.
Fealan thought he would succeed this time.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Lilith was more of a failure than Freya.
Lilith didn’t even have a physique, only possessing a trash potential at birth.
Furthermore, even after a huge amount of resources were invested, Lilith’s potential seemed to be locked at rank 8.
No matter how much origin mana or world origin fragment was invested, Lilith couldn’t awaken her physique.
After two consecutive failures, Fealan was ready to give up.
However, instead of disposing of the two beings he created.
Fealan treated them as his daughters, giving them the best of the world.
Thus, under Lilith’s constant chatter, Fealan’s eyes could be said to be locked onto Maximus.
From his advancements, mysteriousness, adventures, to his work, Fealan witnessed all of it.
Although he was nonchalant on the surface, Fealan treated Maximus as a special student, giving him secret protection.
Otherwise, how could the hungry wolves of apex sovereigns watch Maximus wave a piece of juicy meat without biting?
Without his secret protection, the attacks Maximus encountered wouldn’t only be a couple of high gods.
Looking at his future son-in-law, Fealan sighed.
“Is that so…”
Although he didn’t understand the whole thing, looking at Fealan’s melancholy look, there was probably a deeper secret than this.
Although Maximus wanted to dig deeper, looking at Freya and Lilith staring at him intently, he felt a little embarrassed.
“Is there something on my face?”
“Yes,” Freya (¬_¬)
“N-no,” Lilith (•́_•̀)
Seeing the subtle atmosphere, Fealan let out another heavy sigh and quietly exited the scene.
“Yes?” Maximus muttered suspiciously, touching his face.
“Yes, it’s quite handsome,” Freya said straightforwardly, pinching his cheeks.
Maximus: -_-
“Sister!” Lilith blushed, holding her sister back.
“What? I’m just checking if it’s real.”
“Still, don’t be rude, sister!”
Looking at Freya’s straightforwardness, Maximus smiled in amusement.
“How is it?”
“It’s quite good. I want to touch it more,” Freya said emotionlessly.
“Sister!”
Now Lilith was as red as a tomato, embarrassed by her sister’s boldness.
“You can also touch it, Lilith,” Maximus said, pinching Lilith’s red tomato face.
“R-really?”
“Yes.”
“T-then let me touch,” taking her hand to Maximus’ face, Lilith trembled.
Seeing such a cute Lilith, Maximus couldn’t help but inch closer to her face.
“Is this better?”
“T-too close!” Lilith quickly backed out.
“Hahaha, I’m just joking.”
“How about we eat first?”
“Yes,” Lilith heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the change in topic.
“Hmm, where is my beautiful niece?” Freya nodded nonchalantly, looking for Lila and Asha.
“Hahaha, they’re inside. Come.”
