Chapter 488: Tier 10 Realm (2)
Feeling the effect of a trillion magnitude of power, Maximus suddly noticed a new tab on his panel.
"River of Knowledge, 5% Mastery? I've mastered 5% of the River of Knowledge just like that?!" Maximus muttered in shock.
One had to understand, despite studying octillions of books, creating, and revising the Origin Manual, he hadn't be able to master ev % of the River of Knowledge.
But now, after advancing to the Tier realm, he had directly mastered 5% of it.
"Is this the befit of advancing beside a source pool?"
Feeling his connection to the Source of Knowledge, he noticed his mind becoming clearer.
Wh trying to use the power of causality to comprehd an origin of law, the burd he previously felt also lessed.
By connecting to the River of Knowledge, Maximus calculated that it directly increased his efficicy in comprehding information by 4-5 times.
Furthermore, his unfamiliarity with his new realm seemed to vanish, as knowledge and information about how to control his power were drilled into his mind.
"Is this passive knowledge acquisition?" Maximus mused.
By connecting to the River of Knowledge, he realized that the information he needed could be forcibly comprehded, ev without actively doing anything.
"I've also gained knowledge-based skills!" Maximus muttered, testing his control over the River of Law.
Enlightmt, empowermt, inscription, decryption—connecting to the River of Knowledge made him nearly omniscit with each skill.
"Huh? I can also understand the gibberish code of the system?!" Maximus muttered in shock.
In the Virtual Tower, while hancing his system with the Causality of Evolution, the runic code of the system became easily visible.
Taking the opportunity, Maximus forcefully inscribed the runic code of the system into his mind.
Unfortunately, upon reviewing the copied code, all he could see was unintelligible information.
However, with his connection to the River of Knowledge, he seemed to understand the system's runic code by drawing upon the knowledge he already possessed.
Thinking of the possibilities, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Enhancing the runic code of the system, tailoring it for his own use, ev graving other treasures like the Seal of Truth—once he mastered the inner workings of the system, it would revolutionize its importance.
Calming down, he controlled his raging ergy, circulating it back into his body.
A few months later, Maximus exited the barrier Iris had created.
As he left, it quietly disintegrated, pulverizing the Tier materials used to create it.
Looking up, he saw Iris greeting him.
"You're out, Maximus. Congratulations on your advancemt."
"It's thanks to Sister Iris's help. Otherwise, I don't know how much hardship I would've had to dure to reach this state."
"Don't be modest. It's your talt that brought you here," Iris said sincerely.
Although she couldn't gauge the full extt of Maximus's power, it gave her a sse of pressure.
Iris ev felt a slight threat emanating from him.
Such power, surpassing ev some Tier individuals who had mastered the power of the River of Law, was shocking.
If she hadn't known that Maximus possessed two Origin-grade physiques, Iris might have thought he was simply another powerhouse in disguise.
After a brief conversation, Iris took Maximus back to the Immortal Palace Realm.
"What are you going to do next?"
"I'll return to the Etherium Realm…" Maximus said solemnly.
His seclusion had lasted longer than expected.
It had be over 5,000 years since the second phase of the Dimsional War.
If the Etherium Realm hadn't lost since he left, they should have already oped the Void Gate to the Blood Ragnarok Realm, starting the third phase of the Dimsional War.
Such a dangerous situation made him worry, diluting ev the joy of his advancemt to the Tier realm.
Fortunately, his wives hadn't st any distress signals, meaning everything in the Etherium Realm was still safe.
"It seems you're in a hurry… Go on, just be careful and don't forget to visit more frequtly. Your sister expects a lot from you, don't let me down," Iris compromised.
Though she wanted to quickly reap the befits from Maximus, she knew she couldn't rush.
Maximus's physique was only at Rank , producing merely the Essce of Law, which wasn't ough.
She wanted to let Maximus grow a little more and wasn't impatit.
Wh the time was right, Iris would sure this little brother of hers was locked in for her personal use.
Not only could Maximus assist her in cultivation, but he could also make her life more lively and joyful.
Thinking about it, Iris smiled unconsciously.
"Sister Iris is so beautiful that I can't bear to part with you. I'll come back as soon as I finish this urgt matter in the Etherium Realm."
"Th I'll hold you to that promise. See you soon…"
…
Teleporting to the Etherium Realm, Maximus saw that it was still in pristine condition.
Aside from being larger from the dimsional advancemt and more land gained from the war, not much had changed.
"It seems the Etherium Realm didn't need me," Maximus thought happily.
Being able to keep the Etherium Realm unharmed in his absce was a significant achievemt, worthy of his investmt and training.
Noticing his wives still busy with the creation of the Tier Liquid Solution, Maximus sighed in relief.
It seemed they hadn't joined the war, as per his last reminder.
"I'm back…" Maximus muttered, teleporting beside them.
"Huh? Maximus?!"
"Husband, you've returned!"
"Brother Maximus, it's really you! We missed you so much."
Greeting him excitedly, his wives sured him, chattering about how much they missed him.
"There was something unexpected with my advancemt, so I'm late…"
"You don't need to apologize, as long as you return safely, nothing else matters!"
"It seems my wives love me the most~"
"Of course, otherwise, why would we tolerate you visiting your other mistress?" they joked.
They already knew about Iris. With him gone a few times each year, how could they not know Maximus was visiting another woman?
Fortunately, understanding Maximus's reasons and Iris's idtity, they wer't too bothered.
Reminiscing with his wives, they spt time bonding, setting aside everything, ev the ongoing heated Dimsional War.
Etheria reported that they had begun to overwhelm the Blood Ragnarok Realm in their home dimsion.
With the addition of the talted Eryndor race, the lower and middle powers of the Etherium Realm could crush anyone.
As for the top powers, Fealan and the others, who were at Tier , were holding the front.
More importantly, the Tier and Tier warriors Maximus had bought at the Void Auction were crushing the Blood Ragnarok Realm's hopes.
With the power of money, it could be said the Blood Ragnarok Realm didn't have a chance of winning.
It was only a matter of time before the Blood Ragnarok Realm was conquered.
Knowing everything was going steadily, Maximus was no longer worried.
The money he had spt was ough to buy multiple Tier dimsions.
If they couldn't ev defeat a Tier 9 dimsion with that kind of investmt, it would be better to die and be forgott by the Void.
Celebrating his advancemt, he took his wives on a shopping trip in the Virtual Realm, buying and feasting to their hearts' contt.
After joying their time, he also notified his childr, grandchildr, and in-laws in other sects to come back to the Etherium Realm for a gathering.
After reaching the Tier realm, his descdants began showing their talts and foundations.
Taking on task after task, breaking achievemt after achievemt, they earned a certain status in their sects, equivalt to preparatory saints in the Immortal Palace Sect.
With dedicated protectors, they could leave their sect dimsions despite not yet reaching Tier .
While waiting for his childr, Maximus watched his -year-old grandson, Lance, from Liam and Elysine's train.
"Lance, hurry up, it's time to eat. Stop training."
"Grandfather, let me finish this set first!" Lance shouted, swinging his sword with a certain rhythm.
After eating, Lance quickly returned to training, but this time, instead of a sword, he held books.
"Why are you working so hard, Lance? You're still a kid. You should joy your time," Maximus asked, not used to seeing such a diligt child.
His childr had be a bunch of brats at a young age. Although they were diligt, they wer't so focused and liked to play and have fun.
As for his grandchildr, they were ev naughtier. If they wer't playing, they were on their way to play.
Ev Maya, Lance's older sister, had be led astray by her cousin Lila and daughter Asha.
Looking at Lance, who was either training or improving himself, Maximus couldn't help but feel differt.
"I need to quickly become stronger to protect my family and help my father. I can't waste any time," Lance said seriously.
"Oh? Do you want to rule the world like your father?" Maximus asked, thinking of his workaholic son, Liam.
"Yes, I want to light my father's burd and keep the world peaceful and prosperous!"
"What a grand ambition! You really are my grandson!" Maximus laughed, ruffling his hair.
"However, reading is not as good as walking, and training is not as good as expericing. Staying cooped up here will limit your vision and ability."
"You should cherish your momts to view the outside world from differt perspectives if you want to be a good ruler."
"Th I'll list to Grandfather's advice..."
