nA few months later, while assisting his family in absorbing crystal merits.

nMaximus took Skye and his grandchildren around the Empire.

nFortunately, the range of his domain was amplified within the Empire, thanks to the amalgamation of will.

nThe Moonlight Empire could be considered within the scope of his domain.

nAs he traveled around, observing the changes in the empire.

nHe also investigated the current state of the Curse Continent.

nCurrently, the Curse Continent is unprecedentedly peaceful.

nEven the sea beast tide, which was still ongoing, seems to be curbed at the moment.

nHowever, beneath these disguises lies a cruel trial and a war waiting to erupt like a volcano.

nMultiple empires formed alliances, various covert operations, secret dealings with the other three continents, etc.

nAll kinds of mixed ingredients can be said to be being mixed in the pot called the Curse Continent.

nWhat amazed Maximus the most was the Westle Empire.

nThis Empire currently occupies almost one-fourth of the ruling power in the Curse Continent.

nThere were only over a thousand surviving empires in the Curse Continent.

nOthers were either destroyed or merged by other empires.

nThis means that hundreds of empires were secretly under the Westle Empire’s control.

nThis information made Maximus frown a little.

nIt’s not that he is scared by the potential of the Westle Empire.

nIt’s simply because this accelerates the culmination point of the Era of Imperial Domination.

nNow, instead of thousands of years as he previously estimated.

nThere are only hundreds of years or even less than a hundred years before a huge war sweeps the Curse Continent.

nThis means Maximus needs to hurry.

nOtherwise, the Moonlight Empire would be swept into dust before he knew it.

nAfter all, he would rather let the Moonlight Empire perish than expose all his cards to the world.

nOf course, he can also take the Moonlight Empire, break its connection in the Curse Continent, and wander in the chaotic sea.

n“A hundred years…” Maximus gave himself a timeframe.

nA hundred years to reach tier 8.

nIf he can do it, he can ensure the safety of his family and his empire without any problems.

n“Looks like I have to increase my efforts.”

nRight now, his only business in the abyss realm is Shadow Hunter Pavilion.

nThis is mainly to acquire abyss sources and provide manpower, not even money.

nHe needed a plan to convert his dimensional coins into crystal merits quickly.

nSitting in his system were over three hundred thousand trillion dimensional coins.

nHowever, even if converted into crystal merits, the purified abyss origin, it was not enough.

nHe needed at least a 100,000,000 trillion dimensional coins merits to advance to tier 8.

nHis current income was simply not enough to earn this in a hundred years.

nHis only chance was to sell tier 8 books in his shop in the Myriad World Mall.

nHowever, even after decades, his progress with mastering all tier 8 cultivation manuals, skills, spells, etc., was not even 10 percent.

n“Looks like I need to concentrate my system points on this,” Maximus thought.

nDue to a lack of urgency, previously all his system points were invested in studying various physiques, domains, and other miscellaneous professions.

nNow, concentrating his system points, which were over a trillion daily.

nMaximus estimated that he would soon sell tier 8 books in about 50 years or even less.

nAfter all, after coming back to the abyss, he could continue to collect abyss source, further enhancing his daily system points generation.

nWhile thinking about his plan, he felt his family in the castle nearing saturation.

nBefore they could fully advance to tier 7, he immediately stopped.

n“Let’s return to the castle,” Maximus said to Skye and his two grandchildren.

n“Are they finished training?” Maya asked excitedly.

n“Yes.”

n…

nIn the castle, seeing that they were awake, the most excited one was Martin.

nNow he was able to walk and run.

nSeeing his parents, who were only with him for a few days, he couldn’t help but be excited and run to them.

n“Mommy! Daddy!”

n“Martin!” Zoe exclaimed, missing her son.

nNathan just smiled, looking at the mother and son interaction.

nAs for the rest, they just looked at the two, reminiscing about the past.

nShaking his head, Maximus turned to look at his wives’ affectionate gaze.

n“How did it go?” Maximus asked.

n“We are already at the peak of the 6th tier; just a little push, and we’ll advance to tier 7.”

n“I see,” Maximus nodded.

nAlthough they could advance forcefully with crystal merits, Maximus deliberately stopped it from happening.

nThey needed to experience breakthroughs by themselves and form a domain.

nOtherwise, their potential would be lacking.

nAfter all, they also needed their own input and experience to advance further.

nFurthermore, if they advanced at the same time in such a short period, chaos would ensue.

nMaybe this presence here and the existence of intact crystal merits would be exposed the next day.

nIt’s still okay if his presence here was noticed.

nAt most, people would be amazed and curious about how he could come back to the Etherium realm independently.

nBut if the possession of intact crystal merits is known, there would be no place for him to hide.

nCrystal Merits is a purified abyss origin, which is more effective than Etherium origin.

nBeing able to bring it back without the attention of the world’s will would already touch their main interest.

nThey would kill just to know some information about it.

nThus, Maximus made sure that his family didn’t show any weirdness and halted their advancement.

nFurthermore, they also needed to maximize their soul will and soul amplitude before advancing to have a stronger foundation.

nAnyway, he would need 30 years to accumulate enough mana to go back to the abyss realm.

nJust enough time for his family to fully advance.

n…

nThirty Years Passed.

nMaximus remained hidden in the empire.

nWhile his children continued to do their own business, Maximus stayed with his wives.

nIt seems that his wives wanted to recover the years that he left.

nMaximus also worked super hard to produce the next generation.

nUnfortunately, the binding of this world is really hard to beat.

nEven with an unlimited amount of money, there was still no movement.

nFortunately, his wife, Jane, was not in a hurry to have a child.

nAs for Skye, she had no idea about it for the time being.

nFor her, staying with Maximus is enough; there is no need for these trinkets.

nOver the years, his family and in-laws also broke to tier 7 one by one.

nHowever, they still stayed in the Etherium realm, waiting for him.

nAnyway, they didn’t mind if they were sent to harsher places in the Abyss realm.

nWith Maximus’s current status and connection in the abyss realm, fetching them was no problem.

nIn the castle, all of them gathered as they said their goodbyes to Maximus.

nIn the room were Maximus, his wives, children, and his in-laws; Amara, Elysienne, Zoe, Ella, and Aria.

nOver the years, Elysienne officially married Liam.

nLiam still didn’t know that Amara was a reincarnated battle god; naturally, he also didn’t know about Elysienne’s true identity.

nIt seems that these two women were quite tacit and hid everything from Liam.

nMaximus also didn’t bother to expose them, letting them play on their own.

nMax also officially married Ella, taking her hand and having a grand marriage.

nReaching tier 7, even without his father, Max broke through the territory of the Celestine family and asked for marriage.

nElla’s family was also not that stubborn and agreed to the marriage.

nAfter all, Max’s exploits over the years were almost as legendary as Maximus, the one they were optimistic about.

nFurthermore, they also learned about Maximus’s exploits in the Abyss Realm. historical

nWith such a divine son-in-law, how could they still refuse?

nUnfortunately, despite formally marrying Ella, they still had no idea of producing a seedling.

nMax and Ella were simply busy with themselves, and they had no intention of adding a child to disturb them.

nThere was also Neo, who was secretly a romantic bastard.

nAfter secretly proposing to the Kingsley family for Aria’s hand, Neo set up one of the biggest proposals in history.

nTaking over the entire Kingsley Domain, Neo collaborated with Aria’s family and took money from his younger brother, Lux.

nAfter ten years of preparation, a few days of romantic play ensued, just for Neo to propose in the end.

nFor this, Maximus could only shake his head, considering it a waste of precious years.

nThose ten years could have been used for more useful things, like training, making money, or even having a child or two.

nUnfortunately, his wives didn’t agree with him and even praised Neo for his thoughtfulness and effort.

n“How is it? Have you prepared everything?” Maximus asked.

n“We may not come back here in hundreds of years, so make sure you don’t forget anything,”

n“We have already prepared everything, Dad

/Husband,” they said.

nFor his wives, there was not much preparation, as they had no entanglements in the Etherium realm besides their husband.

nFor his children, besides Lux, they only had a few minor engagements that they easily settled.

nAs for the Aetherium Pavilion, managed by Lux, they were being taken care of by his subordinates.

nNow with everything ready, they were prepared to go to the Abyss Realm with Maximus.

n“Since everything is ready, then just do as planned,” Maximus said with a smile.

nTaking Skye in his arms, he gathered his energy and began to teleport to the Abyss Realm.

n“I will meet you on the other side…”
