A few days later, in the backyard:
Thud~
“Harder! What happened to you? Have you become soft?”
Bam!
Punching out, Max flew out disgracefully.
“Dad, you must be cheating!” Max shouted pitifully.
They were in an equalizer array; his Father should also have a mortal strength.
However, the strength and speed shown by his father could even match that of a tier 3 knight.
“What do you know? This is moving with the laws of the world,” Liam, watching from the side, said.
If one mastered the essence of law no matter how suppressed they were they were still invincible.
Unless his father was suppressed that he couldn’t move, Max had no way of defeating his father.
“That’s still cheating!” Max was unwilling and called out again.
“Alright, enough!” Maximus yelled.
He was initially exercising, trying to regain full control of his soaring strength.
Seeing his father training, Max couldn’t help but be itchy and challenge him to spar.
Seeing Max crying like a child, Maximus felt ashamed.
Manipulating the equalizer array, Max’s strength went up to tier 5.
“Is this enough?”
“Hehe, Dad, this is plenty enough,” Max laughed, feeling his strength.
Thinking that he could beat his father into submission, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Come!”
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, his father is still his father.
Fighting him, he felt that his body was not his.
Max even checked if his body was shorter, thinner, or cursed.
Every time he attacked his father, instead of hitting, he was being hit instead.
“No more, no more!” Max quickly surrendered.
Seeing Max, Liam chuckled.
Fighting with his father is only asking for a beating.
He couldn’t even feel the depth of his father’s strength.
How could Max, a mere tier 8 realm, be a match?
Feeling that he could already control 99% of his strength, Maximus stopped.
“Are you ready?” Maximus asked, turning his attention to Liam.
“Is this really necessary, father?” Liam asked with a frown.
“Why not? The empire needs you. If possible, I would even directly pass the throne to you,” Maximus said with a smile.
Seeing that Liam was managing the empire without a problem, Maximus planned to pass him the throne of the Moonlight Empire.
Maximus was their faith.
Although their emperor didn’t do anything, as long as they knew he was there, they felt they could pass through anything.
Maximus didn’t want to disappoint them, so he relented.
However, appointing Liam as the Crown Prince is still necessary.
Although it may not be of much use, it would increase the cohesion of the people and the officials.
“Just accept it, brother. You’ve been managing the empire for hundreds of years.”
“Being a Crowned Prince is just a transition,” Max said.
“But…” Liam still worried that his brother and sister would disagree.
“Don’t think too much. No one wants to manage the empire besides you,” Maximus said, understanding Liam’s thoughts.
“Are you worried about us, brother?” Max said, finally understanding Liam’s worry.
Liam just stood in silence, looking at him.
“Hahaha, you’re really a joker, brother!” Max said forcefully, patting him.
The throne?
What would he need that for?
Thinking that her brother nearly went bald managing the empire, Max couldn’t help but shudder.
His wife still liked his dashing appearance more.
“Brother, you don’t need to worry about us. We don’t have interest in management!”
Hearing this, Liam finally calmed down.
“Yeah…”
…
After the appointing Liam as the Crown Prince, the empire went into celebration.
Although most of the citizens knew it was just a formality, they were still excited.
They felt His Majesty Liam’s efforts were finally seen.
Although he was not as generous as their Holy Emperor, he was much more responsible and stable.
…
After settling the empire, Maximus sought the sweetness of the world in the arms of his wives.
He no longer needed to go into seclusion.
His Ultimate Cultivation Manual could automatically fill the missing energy needed to reach tier 9.
Regarding study, experimentation, deductions, creation, and such…
These days, after tinkering with his ‘Origin,’ Maximus created an independent learning consciousness.
This independent learning consciousness is separate from his usual thinking consciousness.
No matter how much time passes in this independent learning consciousness, he would not be eroded by time.
Meaning he is no longer restricted when it comes to comprehending knowledge.
As long as his consciousness can take it, his independent learning consciousness can study without stopping.
Now he is finally free.
Besides important breakthroughs in his realm and experiments, he no longer needed to work personally.
With free time on his hands, Maximus began to indulge in beauty.
Of course, Maximus was not too indulgent, wasting his wives’ time.
Maximus also began to teach them rigorously so they could break through earlier.
The knowledge in his mind isn’t just decoration.
With one look, he can identify their weaknesses and deficiencies, and correct them at the same time.
Especially with the combination of the pseudo-Primordial Origin physique he copied from Lilith.
With him as their teacher, their progress skyrocketed multiple times.
Having such a leisurely time, a smile couldn’t help but creep up to his lips.
….
A year later.
“This should be enough,” Maximus muttered.
Inside his storage dimension was a universe of books.
For every piece of knowledge he studied, there was a printer dedicated to inscribing it.
The endless amount of knowledge in his storage dimension even attracted a bit of energy from the River of Knowledge.
Although he didn’t know what effect it had on his storage dimensions or the books, Maximus was sure it was a good thing.
Satisfied with his work, he opened his shop in Myriad World Mall.
[Dimensional Origin Library:

Tier 7: 819 trillion
Tier 6: 18 quadrillion

Tier 1: 251 quadrillion
Tier 0: 351 quadrillion
Total: +1 Quintillion Books
Yearly Income: average of 75 quintillion every year (In decline…)]
“It’s not as much as I thought.”
Looking at the list of books in his shop, it was lower than he thought.
He had expected a quintillion tier 0 books, but seeing it didn’t even reach half, Maximus was a little shocked.
However, thinking that he had too few system points in the past, he understood.
Because there weren’t too many system points, what he studied was targeted.
Besides knowledge related to creating the ‘Origin’ Cultivation manual, all he studied were professions of his interest.
Furthermore, he didn’t go too deep into it.
As long as he studied enough, he would move into the next tier.
“No wonder I earned too little.”
Thinking that his son could earn a few septillions every year just from selling resources of the Etherium realm, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“The new generation is really better than the last…”
Fortunately, it was his son, or he would have been disappointed in himself.
Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face.
He would only proud of his children not the other way.
“System, categorize the books and input them into the Dimensional Origin Library,” Maximus commanded.
With his order, his shop underwent a major update.
It no longer listed every book by tier but by specific category.
From each profession, fighting styles, elements, law, quality, tier, difficulty, etc.
Furthermore, an additional 10 quintillion books were added to the list.
[Dimensional Origin Library:

Tier 8 Books: 320 trillion
Tier 7: 1.5 quadrillion
Tier 6: 829 quadrillion
Tier 5: 1.3 quintillion
Tier 4: 2.9 quintillion
Tier 3: 2.5 quintillion
Tier 2: 1.1 quintillion
Tier 1: 1.2 quintillion
Tier 0: 1.4 quintillion
Total: +11 quintillion]
“Now that’s better,” Maximus muttered with a smile.
Furthermore, this is not the limit.
With his independent learning consciousness studying over a billion epochs every day.
Maximus could add billions to trillions of mastered knowledge every day.
“I wonder how much this would add to my income…”
Although Maximus was no longer short of money, he still yearned for more.
Greed seemed to be embedded within him, no matter how much he earned, he yearned for more and more.
As for the source of his wealth, it was the condensed system points.
By now, with over a hundred quintillion in population and hundreds of trillions of guild members residing within the Moonlight Empire.
The Amalgamation of Will he received every day skyrocketed from 30 quintillion to over 10 sextillion!
Maximus could only spend about hundreds of quintillion system points every day, meaning over 9 sextillion were getting stockpiled in his system every day.
Now there are over 350 septillion points in his system.
Remembering that he nearly got expelled from the Etherium Realm for a mere 50 septillion points worth of energy, he couldn’t help but sigh.
With such a large amount of points, no matter what he did, he couldn’t spend it all.
After all, the limit of his system is only at tier 10.
Not wanting to see wasted resources, Maximus condensed it and let the Myriad World Mall convert it to dimensional coins.
Dimensional coins are also made of bits of Origin of Law, thus the conversion rate is 1 to 1.
As for independently selling it, he was prompted that he couldn’t sell Origin Law treasures, which are equivalent to tier 10 items.
Maximus needed real-name authentication, thus needing the Myriad World Mall to be updated.
Not ready for such a change, Maximus had no choice but to suffer a loss and convert it directly to dimensional coins.
As for directly selling it to the Etherium Realm?
Being the enemy of the whole Etherium Realm once was enough; his little body couldn’t handle the second round.
