The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

After placing the void ship into his storage dimension, Maximus returned to the Etherium Realm.

Waking his wives from seclusion, he began showing off the ship.

"Wow! Is this the Hundred Trillion level ship?!"

"It's grand enough, worthy of the money."

"Grand? It's so small! It's not even as big as our carriage."

"No, look at the materials. It seems to be an illusion."

Trying to scan the ship, a shocked expression appeared on their faces.

"It really is. It seems I can't detect the ship's physical composition."

"Haha, not only that, but if the ship is activated, it can become fully invisible to all forms of detection," Maximus said proudly.

He had already tested the ship's limits—it was truly a marvel.

Even the Seal of Truth, when confirming the ship's coordinates, couldn't respond.

Phantom Overlord Metal was indeed a wonder of the world.

The shipbuilder from the Mechanical Alliance had mentioned that this material was banned because even an Overlord powerhouse was wary that someone would use them with a bad intention.

There had even been an instance when a tier 11 devourer mastering the ocean of law managed to sneak into the territory of the dimensional alliance, causing destruction and massive casualties.

If not for the fragileness of the material, breaking and leaking with just the power emitted by a tier 12 overlord, the chaos it would cause would be unimaginable.

As for the material's origin, it was said to come from outside the Aeon Plane.

Admiring the ship, they boarded and began exploring its interior.

From the control deck, storage room, weapon system, living quarter, workshop, engine, etc.

"The ship is a little small…" Skye sighted.

There was not even a training room on the thousand-meter ship.

Besides the living quarters, which were a few hundred meters in size, all the rooms were for the functionalities of the ship.

Skye even doubted if Maximus was scammed buying this hundred-trillion ship.

"We would be living inside the world tree; this place was only for transportation," Maximus explained.

He also wanted a bigger ship; however, thinking of the cost, he reduced all of the unnecessary details, keeping the bare minimum.

"Don't be too choosy, Skye; the training area you built in the world tree was more luxurious than you have in the castle!" Hazel reprimanded.

"Oh, I'm just saying~"

"Having the living quarters is enough; living so close to each other in the lonely void, how romantic~" Lilith muttered.

Soon they began inspecting every inch of the ship, looking for any damage or error that might cause problems.

Although it was just built, it's better to be sure than to suffer a disaster.

"Alright, it's time to stock up on supplies. In a few years, we'll embark on our journey," Maximus decided.

He was only waiting for the formation of the Crystallize Core of Divine Will.

Once it formed, they could leave the Etherium Realm.

Having prepared for over a thousand years, there was nothing left to worry about.

As he placed the World Tree at the ship's core, he watched his wives arrange the living quarters, supplies, and equipment.

Meanwhile, having nothing to do, he checked his system.

"Hmm? My mastery of the River of Knowledge advanced another percent?"

From 6% to 7%, it seemed that his deductions regarding the amalgamation of will had provided significant experience.

"So that's why the insights in my mind have become more active..."

Reflecting on the various insights flowing into his mind, Maximus couldn't help but sigh.

The River of Knowledge truly gave him omniscience.

No matter the problem or need, endless inspiration seemed to flood his mind.

The more he mastered, the clearer the insights and enlightenments became.

Maximus wondered if he would truly become omniscient after mastering the River of Law.

As time passed, Maximus and his wives finished preparing the ship and began saying their goodbyes to their families in Etherium Realm.

"Liam, I'll be leaving the Etherium Realm in your hands. I may not be able to come in case of emergencies—can you handle it?"

"Leave it to me, Father. You've taught me everything a ruler needs to know. I promise, I'll make the Etherium Realm even better by the time you return," Liam said solemnly.

"Haha, I look forward to it," Maximus laughed.

The bigger and better the Etherium Realm grew, the happier he would be.

After all, the Etherium Realm was his steady source of causality points.

With nearly 100,000 causality points generated each year, it was like a gold mine.

Unfortunately, traveling far into the void, Maximus wouldn't be able to access them immediately.

Instead, he stored the points in the Crystallized Core of Divine Will.

This also served as his guarantee for protecting the Etherium Realm.

As more causality power accumulated within the crystal, it would grow stronger.

If enough power was stored, even without his direct control, the collective will of the people could cause miracles—from generating treasures to slaying a Tier 11 powerhouse.

While he was talking to Liam, Maximus noticed Fealan approaching him.

"So, you're leaving for a long time?" Fealan asked with a sigh.

If not for his daughters Freya and Lilith, he wouldn't have even known they were leaving the Etherium Realm. always-on-MvLeMpYr

According to Freya, they weren't just going on a vacation—they might be gone for thousands or even millions of years.

Knowing the power Maximus possessed, Fealan had been at ease.

But now, with that power leaving, he couldn't help but worry about the Etherium Realm.

"Don't worry, old man. My son will take care of things. You just need to enjoy your retirement," Maximus joked.

Originally, Maximus had planned to give Fealan a revised origin manual to ensure his safety.

However, feeling somewhat selfish, he decided that the origin manual should remain exclusive to the direct family members of the Shadowcrest.

Even the manuals he had given to the current leader of the Shadow Hunter Guild, Silas, Griffin, Ragnar, and a few of his friends had been secretly deactivated.

While they could still use them, the manuals would slowly fade from their minds as they were exposed to higher-level techniques.

These friends of his had already reached the Tier 9 realm.

Although they still communicated with each other, it was not as frequent as the past.

Without the ease and talent his family had, they spent most of their time in cultivation.

Talking once in a hundred years was already the maximum.

Each had their own life and pursuit, and remembering their past friendship and talking to each other at the same table was already good enough.

Sighing at the impermanence of life, Maximus spoke with Fealan about various matters concerning the Etherium Realm.

Even the other two old-timers, Alabaster and Readius, came to wish him a safe journey despite their busy schedule.

As for Malgron, he had mysteriously disappeared hundreds of years ago during his seclusion.

According to Etheria, Malgron had vanished into thin air.

Considering Malgron's enigmatic identity, Maximus suspected that fate had something in store for him.

A few years later, the Crystallized Core of Divine Will was fully formed.

Feeling the autonomous circulation of laws according to his pre-programmed instructions, Maximus nodded in satisfaction.

"We can finally leave this place!"

"Jixie, do you have all the information I need?" Maximus asked.

"Yes, host. I've already copied all the information about various void sites, ruins, battlefields, special void dimensions, and more," Jixie confirmed.

"That's great. You've worked hard. I'll give you a bonus later," Maximus said with a smile.

Reaching the tier 10 realm, his permission in the dimensional alliance also increased correspondingly.

From tier 10 manuals, skills, techniques, special information, etc, besides secret formulas and techniques from the top sects, Maximus was free to access everything.

Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity, he had Jixie copy all the information he needed for his upcoming journey.

Taking hundreds of years, Jixie barely finished copying some information.

"Thank you, host,~"

"Haha, as long as you're happy. We're about to set off; you can enjoy a long vacation after this."

"Really? You won't need me during your travels, host?" Jixie asked with a smile, feeling both happy and a little disappointed.

After working like an emotionless fairy for hundreds of years, copying vast amounts of data, Jixie felt like she was on the verge of exploding.

The promise of a vacation filled her with joy, though the thought of missing out on the adventure saddened her.

"Yes, don't worry. I have Wanderer and Voyager with me," Maximus reassured.

Initially, he had only planned to take Wanderer, but Voyager, feeling a bit jealous, had insisted on coming along.

As for the Etherium Academy that Voyager managed, her sub-spirit would suffice.

"Then thank you, host. Have a safe and fruitful journey..."

"Hmm…"

Although he didn't want to isolate Jixie, as a nexus fairy directly under the virtual realm, he couldn't take her on his trip.

He would be 'stealing' causality of power; Maximus didn't want a surveillance around him.

Knowing it was a hidden danger, he could only give Jixie an indefinite vacation.

With everything ready, they checked one last time to ensure nothing was missed.

Once satisfied, they boarded the ship, which then began to float into the void.

Taking one last look at the Etherium Realm, the Shadow Ship opened a void portal, setting course for their first destination.

"The garbage dump of the Aeon Plane, I wonder how much corrupt causality of power I can collect..."
