nAfter browsing the Direct Exchange Tab, he opened the Auction tab.

nIn it were treasures auctioned by the Apex Sovereigns.

nLooking at the list of treasures, Maximus was not too impressed.

nThe items in the auction tab were treasures that could be found outside the dimension.

nThey were mainly meteorites, treasures,void beast carcass and some substances lost in the void, landing into the Etherium realm.

nThus, most of the treasures on the list were unimpressive.

nHowever, some items still caught Maximus’s eye.

nThe Myriad World Mall only sold items up to tier 10.

nAs for tier 11, even the most common resources couldn’t be found.

nThus, seeing tier 11 treasure on the auction tab made him somewhat interested.

nOver countless amounts of time, some tier 11 items unknowingly drifted and landed in the Etherium realm.

nAlthough these materials were quite common, like some debris and metal in the void, they’re tier 11 resources nonetheless.

nMaximus had been finding a solution to solve the bottleneck of the Etherforge Reactor until now.

nHaving these tier 11 materials could be a way of breakthrough making a more efficient and cheap device.

nHowever, looking at the price quoted by the Apex Sovereigns, he couldn’t help but frown.

nJust the cheapest tier 11 material costs a few sextillion merits.

nIt’s just the starting price; unless the auctioneer is satisfied with it, the bidding will continue indefinitely.

nNo wonder no one had bid on these treasures.

nBuying and overpriced materials you couldn’t use was just a scam.

nSeeing the names of the auctioneers, Maximus thought if he could barter with them personally.

nAlthough he didn’t have enough merit, he had dimensional coins he could use in the Myriad World Mall.

nNot only would it solve his problem, it would also be cheaper.

nSuddenly, he noticed a cheap tier 11 plant.

n“World tree?” Maximus fell into thought.

nThe World Tree is an ultimate dimensional treasure.

nIn the past, when he still hadn’t created the ‘Origin,’ he considered merging this treasure for his foundation.

nSeeing that it was for sale in the auction tab, he fell into a daze.

nFurthermore, it wasn’t only for sale; there was also a great selection of it according to age.

nFrom the lowest age of billion years to the highest millions of epoch year World Tree.

nAlthough the World Tree is an ultimate dimensional treasure, it was only in mature form.

nAs for the fragment of a World Tree, it was barely comparable to a common tier 11 material.

nFurthermore, it needed to be at least a billion years to be even considered worthy.

nThe branches and leave of it could only be considered a tier 9 material at most.

nAfter a World Tree reached a billion years, it would form a cubic meter of space like a small world.

nThis small world is not like the small world created by dimensional movements but a small world with complete laws.

nThus, it’s possible to create a small world with all the laws in all dimensions, which is over a hundred thousand laws.

nHowever, to internalize even the most common and weakest form of law.

nThe world tree needed to have a small world with a square kilometer of space.

nFor rarer law and higher forms of law, more space would be needed to internalize it.

nAfter internalizing over a hundred thousand laws, it would then be a complete tier 11 ultimate dimensional treasure.

nIf it could internalize all the laws with their highest form, the Origin of law, then it could possibly reach the highest realm.

nIn the past, he once considered nurturing a World Tree of his own.

nNot only could it bypass the dimension he was living in, but it could also be used as one of the ultimate treasures needed for his tier 11 advancement.

nHowever, the time and resources needed to nurture it were enormous.

nWith only billions of system points in the past, how dare he entertain the idea of nurturing this world-devouring plant?

nThus, as time passed, he completely forgot about the World Tree.

nSeeing it again made him remember its properties.

nNow that he could get quintillions of system points every day.

nWouldn’t nurturing a world tree with a few thousand of laws be feasible?

nHe also had enough resources that could buy specific resources to internalize the laws that were not available in the Etherium realm.

nThinking about it, he couldn’t help but be excited.

nCalming down, he closed the Merits Hall.

nHe couldn’t afford anything for now.

nMaximus needed to think of a solution to earn merits quickly.

n“Mission Hall…”

nIt should be the place where he could actively earn more merits.

nOpening the Mission Hall, he was greeted by dozens of missions.

nPopulation Expansion…(Details)

nClearance of Abyssal Aura…(Details)

nProfessional Development…(Details)

nExploration of New Knowledge…(Details)

nExploration of Other Dimensions…(Details)

nExploration of the Chaotic Sea…(Details)

nExpelling the Abyss…(Details)

n…

nOpening the population expansion, it was filled with various standards and rewards for population expansion.

nIt contained information on how much merit he would get depending on his degree of contribution, the quality of the population, their contribution to the world, etc.

nAs for the clearance of the abyssal aura, it’s the abyss leaked from the abyss realm.

nThe Curse Continent was merely the most heavily affected area.

nThe chaotic sea surrounding it was too affected that part of the Etherium Realm was teared apart from time to time.

nThese was also the source of abyss fragments near the Etherium Realm.

nAbyssal Aura is like a virus corrupting the world, thus promoting the world’s origin to give generous rewards to clear it.

nProfessional development is for individuals to deeply study their profession or create new professions.

nNot only could it help the World Origin comprehend knowledge, but it could also provide the Etherium realm with new and stronger arsenals.

nThe exploration of new knowledge is for the apex sovereigns to continue to discover and invent things like professional development.

nFrom various experiments and synthesis, new knowledge could be found.

nAnother way would be to get books and knowledge from other dimensions.

nSeeing this made Maximus click his tongue.

nHe now understood the sinister intentions of those apex sovereigns, especially the Lorekeeper Guild.

nMaximus thought they were a bunch of nerds, thirsty for knowledge that they bought hundreds of quintillions worth of books from him.

nNow, it seems that it was to earn more merit points.

nFortunately, there is a limit to this loophole.

nAccording to the description, one needed to understand the knowledge and master it, at least through proficiency, before World Origin could give reward.

nFurthermore, the more mastery one had, the higher the reward.

nThe World Origin didn’t seem to have the ability to comprehend, needing its inhabitants to spoon-feed it with knowledge.

nThinking of this, a smile quietly appeared on his face.

nNo one should know more new knowledge and master it than him in the Etherium realm.

nIf he shares this with the World’s Will…

nThinking of the merits he could get, he nearly couldn’t control his excitement.

nAs for the corresponding danger and consequences, he would think about them later.

nCalming down, he turned his attention to the new mission tab.

nFor the exploration of dimensions, the World Origin would help open projections to investigate dimensions that it found.

nA Virtual world would then be created by the Apex Sovereigns with the help of the World’s Will.

nAccording to the degree of contribution, the World’s Will would give merits as a reward.

nAfter the Virtual World is created, the world’s inhabitants would explore this world, treating it as a game, giving their rulers, the apex sovereign continuous supply of merits.

nNot only could it bring new knowledge, it could also be a comparison subject of the World Origin.

nFurthermore, it would forge a way for future dimensional invasion and conquest.

nThe Exploration of the chaotic sea is simply traveling and exploring the chaotic sea.

nIt seems that even within its own body, the World Will couldn’t see through the chaotic energy.

nThe World’s Will even needed the help of its inhabitants to explore the way.

nThe Expulsion of the Abyss on the other hand is about the fight with the abyss.

nFrom sentry, information, material contribution, etc.

nAs long as you contribute to the fight in the abyss, the world’s will would calculate it and give the corresponding merits.

nThe rest of the mission was nothing noteworthy.

nIt’s just about planting domestication, expelling beast tide, and such.

nAfter a brief overview, Maximus was not even interested in reading the rest.

nThe reward was too little for his interest.

nAs for the rest, it was simply a gold mine that could continuously give him enormous merits.

nCalming himself down, he finally turned his attention to the Apex Sovereigns in the room.

nAlthough it felt long, he only took a few minutes to browse through the Merit Hall and Mission Hall.

nHis expression was also masked through some disguise, so they didn’t notice his expression.

nQuietly sipping their drinks, they waited patiently for him, investigating through the Etherium Alliance.

nAfter organizing his thoughts, Maximus opened his mouth.

n“Gentlemen…”
