Seeing that his father didn’t even remember about the Myriad World Mall, Lux frowned.
“Then leave it to me, I’ll see if there’s something I could buy in it.”
Over the years, with Lux’s manipulation, he was richer than he had ever been.
In his account alone, there were hundreds of sextillions of dimensional coins in savings.
Leveraging the Etherium realm and the Abyss, earning a few sextillions every year was quite easy.
“Hmm,” Maximus just nodded.
“Dad can you tell me about your condition?”
“It’s my ‘Origin.’ My very existence seems to be in chaos,” Maximus said cooperatively.
“Oh?” Lux was surprised.
It seemed that even the memory of his father’s Ultimate Cultivation Method was missing.
If it were not, his father could have easily solved this problem.
Frowning, Lux browsed treasures that could affect the ‘Origin’ somewhat or another.
First, filter the tier 10 treasures.
Unfortunately, there were none like he expected, it seemed to be a rare treasure.
Filtering through tier 9 treasures, he found some that could affect the ‘Origin.’
“Found it.”
Briefly reading the introduction, Lux bought a series of treasures for his father to try.
Seeing the high-tier treasure carelessly thrown by Lux, Maximus was a little stunned.
Although he didn’t know the exact prices of these things, they were surely expensive.
On the other hand, seeing his father’s look, Lux raised his head proudly.
Remembering the days when his father took out dazzling treasures that left him speechless, Lux felt unprecedented joy.
‘Hmph! Now it’s my turn to show off,’ he thought.
Even the sextillions of dimensional coins he spent just now felt worth it.
“Come try it quickly, Dad,” Lux urged, trying to show off.
“Oh.”
…
Soon, days after days of trying, Maximus felt no difference in his ‘Origin.’
“It can’t be,” Lux muttered with pain, thinking of several sextillions gone to waste.
“Maybe it’s not enough…” Lux gritted his teeth, wanting to buy more.
“You don’t need to bother; it’s ineffective,” Maximus shook his head.
He knew his condition better; if there was a slight effect, he would surely ask Lux to buy more.
“Oh,” Lux sighed in defeat.
Suddenly, he remembered Malgron, the saint patron of his business.
Being the strongest man alive, Malgron should know some methods that could improve the condition of his father.
“Dad, let’s go into the abyss; maybe Uncle Malgron can help.”
According to his memories, Malgron seemed to be unfathomable.
It’s not just about the ultimate physique that made him strong, but something more.
…
In the Abyss Shadow Hunter Stronghold, Maximus and Liam directly teleported.
After reaching tier 9, one could directly request the World’s Will service.
Teleporting from one dimension to another was an easy task, much less to the abyss, which was directly in front of the Etherium realm.
“How is the stronghold, Dad?” Lux asked smugly.
After his father left, instead of regressing, the stronghold became more prosperous.
Now the Shadow Hunter Stronghold is much bigger than the Etherium Citadel.
Their stronghold had become one of the spearheads attacking through the Purgatory layer of the abyss.
Hundreds of years ago, after they conquered the Middle layer of the abyss, the war was directed to the Purgatory layer.
However, due to the harsh climate and stronger enemies, the only thing that can survive in this layer is a moving stronghold.
Thus, the Shadow Hunter Stronghold became one of the pioneers leading the attack.
In all times, there had to be at least 30 Apex Sovereigns stationed in this stronghold.
It’s not only that there are also hundreds of tier 10 weapons mounted in the stronghold, making it a moving nuclear threat to the abyss.
“Not bad.” Seeing the stronghold different from his memories, Maximus was nonchalant.
There was nothing that interested him in this extravagant stronghold.
Except for brute force bought by money and manpower, what’s so admirable in it?
On the contrary, he was more interested in the structure of the abyss.
In his memory, Malgron told him that this abyss was like a ship made from fragments of dimensions.
Initially, he just nodded ignorantly without knowing the essence of it.
Now, seeing it with his eyes that carried over trillions of epochs worth of knowledge, Maximus could see some resemblance.
If not pressed for time, Maximus would like to stop and study this abyss realm for a few trillion of epochs.
“Let’s go, Dad!” Seeing his father didn’t seem to have interest in what he was talking about, Lux was bored.
Dragging his father, they came into the Battle Axe Bar.
The Battle Axe bar had become exclusive for top powerhouses.
Those weak tier 8 powerhouses didn’t even dare to come close to this bar.
After all, inside at least a dozen Apex sovereigns were drinking all the time.
Seeing Maximus and Lux entering, the powerhouse in the room went sober for a while.
“Your Majesty Lux, long time no see!”
“How is your business, Mr. Lux?”
“The wealthy boy is here? How about you treat us to some meal?” The powerhouses in the bar greeted Lux enthusiastically.
As for Maximus, they couldn’t remember for a while.
After all, compared to the dazzling rich man in front of them, Maximus was really inconspicuous.
“I’m here to take my father to see Mr. Mag,” Lux said.
Malgron’s identity was still hidden; besides a few people, no one knew his real identity.
Most of them thought he was an Apex Sovereign who rose silently from the Curse Continent.
“Your father?” Hearing this, they looked at Maximus as if remembering something.
“Your Majesty Maximus?” They greeted with a smile, however, hidden within was a bit of mockery and alienation.
Besides a few dazzling feats a thousand years ago, Maximus was like a shooting star that disappeared after a brief light.
However they were not surprised, this has always been the fate of the Holy Emperor in the past.
Besides having a fighting power comparable to an Apex Sovereign, they were nothing—no chance to reach the apex and achieve immortality.
Now, two of his sons and his wife even surpass him.
It would not be long before Maximus would be buried in history, becoming a mere paragraph in an inconspicuous book.
Seeing their look, Maximus was still emotionless.
However, as if not wanting to be insulted, his ‘Origin’ became chaotic again.
Frowning, he waved his hand.
Soon, an enormous pressure descended upon them, crushing their seats as they became planted into the ground..
Unlike with his family, Maximus didn’t face any suppression from his ‘Origin.’
With enough knowledge, even the power of law could suppress these few weaklings.
No one could underestimate the weight of knowledge.
Even if it had no direct effect, it is as heavy as a mountain.
[Maximus Shadowcrest
Tier 8: 1%
Affinity: Rank 10 (1,118)
Physique: Dimensional Source Rank 10
Domain: Origin Domain-107,539 Light-Year Radius
Power of Law: 100%
Soul Amplitude: 1 Quadrillion (100%) Overload!!! (109 quintillion)
Soul Will: 1 Quadrillion (100%) Overload!!! (12 Quintillion)]
Over the thousand years, although there has been almost no progress in his realm, hidden within was invincible power.
His affinity, control of the power of law, soul amplitude, and soul will were complete.
Just a little push and he could reach tier 9.
He was only delayed because he felt an impending disaster if he exited his seclusion.
Having no choice, he could only study and study until it broke the limit.
Now, if he did his best unless one had perfect control of the essence of law, one would be like an ant standing before a giant.
Seeing this, Lux was a little stunned.
His father is still his father, still so invincible.
Cough~
Before he could process his father’s invincible power, a slight cough sounded in the room, dissolving the pressure.
“Now, now, let’s not destroy my humble shop…” Malgron said listlessly.
“Mr. Mag!” the drinkers in the room shouted, thankful to Malgron.
While feeling thankful, they couldn’t help but blame the wine for making them muddled-headed to talk some nonsense.
Maximus may be like a meteor, but his dazzling existence didn’t fade but became brighter.
Looking at Maximus, there was still a lingering fear within them.
“We are sorry to offend Your Majesty Maximus,”
Maximus didn’t bother about them as he looked at Malgron.
This person was still unfathomable, as in his memories.
Even now, he couldn’t gauge his strength like a bottomless abyss.
“Alright, the shop is closed for now; I still have to entertain some guests,” Malgron said, throwing the crowd out of the room.
The crowd didn’t resist, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.
They swore they would never drink in this shop again.
“Uncle Malgron, my father…” Lux came to his senses and asked Malgron for help.
“Well, well, well, it looks like fellow Maximus had been affected by the river of knowledge…” Malgron said with interest.
“River of Knowledge?” Maximus muttered, vaguely knowing what Malgron was talking about.
“Fortunately, you are as resourceful as always, leaving some backup,” Malgron clicked his tongue in admiration.
“Can you tell me about it?”
“Hahaha, no worries, come sit; I’ll treat you to a drink!”
