After sitting, Malgron generously poured him a drink.
“So what is the River of Knowledge?” Maximus asked directly, after taking a drink.
“First, let me tell you about the depths of law.”
“First is the Power of Law mastered at the tier 8 realm, second is the Essence of Law mastered at the tier 9 realm, and finally the Origin of Law mastered at the tier 10 realm.”
“What comes next is the River of Law, the source of power for all dimensions, whether it’s matter, energy, or living beings.”
“The River of Knowledge is the source of knowledge flowing through the void, giving everyone enlightenment and intelligence.”
“And from the look of it, you have come quite deep into the River of Knowledge and gotten a little lost,” Malgron explained with interest.
“I see…” Maximus nodded, feeling his current situation match.
“Then what about my ‘Origin’?”
“This should have been left by you.”
“A protective barrier to keep yourself safe even if you’re drowning, what a novel concept,” Malgron said in amazement.
Malgron had also come in touch with the River of Law, which is the River of Power.
However, unlike Maximus, who still kept his rationality and originality, Malgron became like a wild beast, a killing machine who only knew how to kill.
It took Malgron millions of epochs to even get back on his feet and come to his senses.
Fortunately, he was already in the Abyss at that time, so the Etherium Realm didn’t take any damage.
“So that’s it!” Maximus nodded unconsciously.
Who else could tamper with his memory besides himself?
“Now there are only two paths for you: wait for time or look for treasures.”
“How long?” Maximus asked.
As for treasure, Maximus didn’t take his chances.
His chance of finding a treasure that could help him in his current state was almost negligible.
“It shouldn’t take long, about a million years at the latest or a few epochs at the longest,” Malgron said carelessly.
“Oh? It’s not that long.” Maximus nodded in satisfaction, knowing he could go back to normal in a few epochs at most.
“Hahaha, cheers!” Malgron laughed and toasted with Maximus.
However, Lux, who was listening from the side, had a dark face.
A million years? A few epochs?
Heck, even a few years would already be too long.
His mother and sister would surely be heartbroken if they got to know his father’s condition.
Fortunately, they were still in seclusion, oblivious to anything.
Thinking of this, Lux gritted his teeth and asked Malgron for another method.
“Another method? Let’s see, you could try using a special physique.”
“But it should be at the ultimate level; otherwise, it wouldn’t work,” Malgron said after a bit of thinking.
“This—” Hearing this, Lux was speechless.
“Ultimate level physique? Where could I find that?”
Not only does it have to be the ultimate physique, but it also needs to be a specific one.
“Or you could find a tier 11 individual; they should master some of the River of Law.”
“Taking your father out of some shallow water should be no problem.”
Lux’s face became gloomier and gloomier.how is this easier than the others?
Just as he was about to despair, he heard a word that made his eyes light up.
“There is also the daughter of Fealan.”
“A few years ago, I felt a fluctuation of great physique that should be able to cure your father,” Malgron said after thinking.
Delving into the River of Power, Malgron was also affected by it.
After all, this is a power that only tier 11 individuals can master.
A tier 9 weakling daring to take on this power would either die or encounter some problems.
A few hundred years ago, when Lilith visited the abyss, Malgron felt his condition slightly calm down.
Unfortunately, it was too insignificant that Malgron felt it was not worth his time.
“Auntie Lilith?!”
“You can just try. I’m not sure.”
“Furthermore, to awaken that kind of physique is not simple,” Malgron shook his head with a sigh.
Awakening an Ultimate Physique is not easy.
It’s not inborn like other physiques; it needs some kind of trigger to conceive.
Remembering the arduous journey he had gone through to awaken his physique, Malgron couldn’t help but sigh.
Fortunately, there was a tool buddy, Valoros, who had all kinds of ideas helping him.
Remembering his friend, he couldn’t help but reminisce.
Tsk, if that crazy madman was still here, he would surely slice up Maximus into pieces and study.
Just what kind of person could still have sanity after dipping into the River of Law?
Furthermore to achieve this state in just a thousand years, just what secret was hiding in his body?
Lux didn’t care if it was difficult or not, as long as there was a way.
“Thank you, Uncle Malgron,” Lux said sincerely, giving Malgron a tier 10 wine.
“No worries, no worries, nephew, we are family!” Malgron smiled widely, taking the wine faster than the speed of light.
Although he didn’t lack money to buy tier 10 wine, it was still a precious treasure.
He couldn’t bear to part with it that he only treated Maximus with some tier 9 wine.
“Then we’ll go, Uncle Malgron, see you later!”
“Come back again, fellow Maximus. Next time it’s your turn to treat me to some wine.”
“It would be my pleasure,” Maximus said politely.
…
In the Etherium Realm, Arcane Continent, Spirit Domain.
Without wasting any time, Lux dragged his father to the spirit domain.
Looking at the beautiful domain, Lux quickly teleported to his Aunt Freya’s castle.
“Aunt Freya! Aunt Lilith! Lux has come to visit!” Lux’s voice echoed throughout the castle.
“Lux? And the Pretty Father?” Freya quickly teleported in front of them, scrutinizing Maximus.
This man had become more and more beautiful.
Seeing his deep eyes that could draw anyone in, Freya couldn’t help but stare.
“What do you want?” Coming to her senses, Freya asked.
“About this…” Soon Lux explained the condition of his father, needing Lilith’s help.
“I see,” Freya nodded.
“Let me call my sister first. She seemed to be eager to meet this father of yours.”
Inviting Lux and Maximus into her castle, Freya quickly called her sister out of seclusion.
After a while, Lilith came flying to them with excitement.
“Maximus!” Lilith lunged forward with tears.
This time Maximus learned his lesson; instead of being passive, he proactively hugged Lilith.
Feeling the warmth, Lilith looked up.
“Maximus… I miss you~” Lilith said sincerely.
Initially, after their trip to the three continents, Lilith imagined that she would become Maximus’s wife.
She even pondered if she should call him “husband,” “dear,” “love,” “hubby,” etc.
Unfortunately, before it could become a reality, Maximus had some problems that required him to go into seclusion.
With dreams broken, she could only wait and work harder.
Fortunately, Lilith had already solved her biggest problem: her limited lifespan.
Because of her special condition, she couldn’t advance to tier 9.
One of the prerequisites to advance to the tier 9 realm is to awaken the special physique.
This is also where almost all tier 8 individuals get stuck.
To awaken their physique, one needed great fortune unimaginable to many.
From Origin Mana to Fragments of World, these rare treasures were too difficult for the majority to obtain.
Another alternative was to comprehend the essence of law in advance.
However, it was easier said than done.
Besides Maximus, who was cheating by spending septillions of points to comprehend the essence of law.
For many, they needed millions to billions of epochs of time and heaven-defying comprehension to even have a chance.
With lifespans ranging from a few epochs to thousands of epochs, it was nearly impossible for a tier 8 individual to advance without awakening their physique.
Lilith’s comprehension is not weak; now she only needed time, which was already solved by her father.
Fealan just bought her over septillion crystals of life from Maximus.
This is equivalent to trillions of epochs of lifespan, enough for her to be a pseudo-immortal.
Thus with hope and belief, she can only pray and wait for Maximus.
Feeling his warmth, she felt all the wait was worth it.
Meanwhile, Maximus felt his ‘Origin’ being soothed.
It was different when he was with his wives and children.
Holding Lilith in his arms, his ‘Origin’ became more solid and real.
It seemed that Malgron’s hunch was right; there was really something unique about this woman.
“Maximus?” Lilith asked, seeing Maximus looking at her deeply.
“I want you,” he said straightforwardly.
“Y-you want me?” Lilith muttered with a blush.
“Yes,” he replied, hugging her tighter.
Lilith: (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
Lilith was already blanking out, not knowing where to put her hand, much less speak.
“Alright, enough of that!” Freya muttered, dragging her sister out in Maximus’s embrace.
She didn’t know if she was jealous that her sister was with another man or that Maximus was flirting with another woman in front of her.
“Sister~” Lilith muttered, finally able to breathe.
“Alright, don’t be too obsessed; they just need you for something else,” Freya rolled her eyes.
Her sister was really easy to fool and was too emotional.
Just one word from this bastard already made her senseless.
“Need me for something?” Lilith asked in puzzlement.
Looking at Maximus, she finally noticed something different.
Those deep, emotionless eyes, like his soul is out of his body.
Filled with worry, Lilith unconsciously clenched her fist.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
“No matter what, I’ll help with all I can.”
