nAfter expressing his intention to buy tier 11 materials, he received one private message after another.

n“Brat, I have a few tier 11 materials here. I only need some Crystal of Enlightenment.”

n“Maximus, just pay me in Crystal of Life. As for merits, I don’t need them.”

n“I have tier 11 materials here. Do you have an extra Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment? I want both.”

n“Do you have an extra Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment? I can pay with materials or merits…”

n“Want some Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment?” Maximus muttered.

nAfter a briefly reading their message, he saw that besides merits, they were also accepting Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment.

nAfter all, although merit can also enlighten someone, it’s only for the power and essence of law.

nFor techniques, skills, professional knowledge, etc., it’s not possible.

nFurthermore, merit couldn’t extend one’s life infinitely like the Crystal of Life.

nSeeing they were so eager, Maximus smiled and offered to pay with Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment.

n“Sure, A single Crystal of Life or Crystal of Enlightenment is equal to 10 merits.”

n“Impossible!”

n“Don’t fool us with your tricks; a single crystal is only equivalent to a single merit at most!”

nSeeing his reply, they were a little shocked and speechless.

nThey were not fools; based on a single crystal’s energy intensity and function, it’s only comparable to merit.

nThey could accept it if they were paying in magic crystal, but for merit, it was impossible.

nAfter all, magic crystals are renewable; with their vast territory, they could mine as many magic crystals as they wanted.

nSeeing their reply, Maximus was not deterred.

n“I mean, the 1:10 ratio if when I bought your tier 11 materials.”

n“If you wanted to buy one from me, you’re welcome to buy with magic crystal.”

nAfter seeing his reply, they calmed down.

nExchanging some tier 11 materials that they couldn’t use for Crystal of Life or Crystal of Enlightenment is not a loss.

nHowever, not wanting to lose much, they still negotiated with Maximus.

nSome lowered the ratio, some only wanted to buy Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment from him.

nSome even proposed to trade with other materials.

nUnfortunately, Maximus was quite stubborn.

nThis is a monopoly; what he says is the price.

nFurthermore, to buy Crystal of Life or Crystal of Enlightenment from him, they needed to sell him tier-11 material first.

nFilled with indignation, they had no choice but to sell their precious material to Maximus at a discount.

nIn his system, he had over 1 sextillion points.

nWith a ratio of 1:10, it’s equivalent to over 10 sextillion merits.

nIf he used all of it, he could buy about ten tons of tier-11 material.

nHowever, he was not that stupid.

nAfter buying about a ton of material from an Apex Sovereign, he sold the remaining Crystal of Life and Crystal of Enlightenment for magic crystals.

nMeaning he could have 10 times the profit with nothing, which is unlimited money.

nAfter exchanging a few hundred quintillion crystal of life and crystal of enlightenment, he had another sextillion system point.

nRepeating the process, Maximus worked tirelessly for a few months and almost wiped out the tier 11 materials in the Etherium Alliance exchange hall.

nExcept for those who were in seclusion, no Apex Sovereign escaped his clutches.

nEven the three peak powerhouses, Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius, were scammed.

nHowever, wary of their strength, Maximus still gave a discount, of a 1:3 exchange ratio.

nLooking at his harvest, the smile on his lips couldn’t be contained.

nLaughing like a maniac, he looked through his balance with an unbelievable look.

n63 septillion system points

n“Damn!” Cursing, he calmed himself down.

nFrom a few sextillions to over 60 septillions system points.

nThis is almost all the accumulation of the Etherium realm.

nAbout three thousand Apex Sovereigns entire property was in his hands.

nIf not to maintain the operation of their territory, there would be more than 100 septillions or even octillion.

nAs for the three peak Apex Sovereigns, they each contributed 10 septillion system points to him.

nThere guys were really rich, furthermore it’s seemed that they were just testing.

nAfter they confirmed the effect of the crystal of life and crystal of enlightenment they would buy more.

nYet, such an insane number was devoured by his system like nothing.

nAfter sending it to his dimensional storage, his system could swallow it whole no matter the size, and convert it to system points.

n“Huh~ I should have done this earlier…”

nSeeing such a large profit, Maximus couldn’t help but be dazzled.

nSuddenly a look of decadence appeared on his face, his mana and power of law seemed to have gone wild.

nWhile Maximus was in a daze, the barrier in the room started to crack.

nThe world seemed to have become his enemy as the law started to malfunction, the space started to destabilize, and chaotic will of all being started to invade his mind.

nSuddenly, a burst of light emerged from his eyes.

nControlling his very origin, he tried to stabilize his body, hiding it from the dimensional space.

nNot having a target, everything went back to normal.

n“Just what happened?”

n“Is it the so-called demon tribulation?”

n“No… The World’s Will is targeting me?”

nWith shock, Maximus quickly analyzed his situation.

nThe only one who could attack him this intensely is the World’s Will.

nIt should be his because he stole the energy of the world.

n60 septillion system points are 60 nonillion low magic crystals when converted.

nThis was enormous, equivalent to the accumulation of Etherium Realm for millions of epochs.

nOriginally, nothing would happen if he just used it normally.

nHowever, to directly absorbed it with the system is like directly sucking the blood of the Etherium realm.

nInitially, the World’s Will couldn’t do anything to him, however too much damage triggered its protection mechanism.

nThe whole Etherium Realm Origin seemed to become his enemy, isolating and targeting him with all its means.

n“There is really no free lunch in this world,” he sighed.

n“Now what do I do…”

nFrowning, Maximus cursed the world for being stingy.

nIsn’t it just some energy? After he became stronger, couldn’t he just pay it back?

nNow he was in an isolated state; he couldn’t even mobilize a bit of energy or the World’s Will would notice him.

n“I can only use these system points as soon as possible.”

nTo bring back the equilibrium of the Etherium realm, Maximus had to absorb these system points.

nAfter he used the system points, the energy the system sucked would return to the Etherium realm, albeit concentrated on him.

nFor the World’s Will, it didn’t matter where the energy in its body was concentrated to, as long as it was there.

n“Good~” Thinking of a solution, Maximus sighed in relief.

nThere is only one way for him to quickly use the system points in his current state: comprehend knowledge.

nAs for the knowledge to comprehend, there are two types: the essence of law or the myriad dimensional knowledge from tier 0 to tier 8.

nThe common essence of laws only requires about 1 septillion of system points.

nThis means that over 60 septillion system points were equivalent to 60 common laws.

nFor Myriad Dimensional knowledge, it’s the infinite of all dimensions.

nA few septillions are nothing in front of it.

nThese two paths are the paths of strength and wealth.

nStudying a few essences of law would surely make him stronger.

nFor the myriad dimensional knowledge, after he mastered it to transcendence, he would no longer be short of money.

nIn the past, studying myriad dimensional knowledge was his first choice when it came to acquiring wealth.

nHowever, after creating the Etherforge reactor, his path deviated.

nThe former is full of thorns, while the latter allowed him to sit back and relax.

nStudying knowledge is not just putting some system points; it’s also equivalent to him directly studying it.

nIf a single system point is equivalent to a single day, then 60 septillion points were over 160 trillion epochs.

nNo matter how strong-willed he is, he would probably collapse under that long time.

nMaybe just after a trillion epochs, he wouldn’t even recognize himself.

nThis is also why he was so careful when consuming the system points, using it little by little to master things.

nHe would rather waste some money and create some failed products, than suffer such torture.

nHowever, now he was at a crossroads; no matter what he chose, he needed to use his system points.

nFinally, after a bit of thinking, he chose the path of wealth.

nWealth is power; comprehending a few essences of law didn’t have much use for him.

nDeciding on his path, Maximus gritted his teeth.

nBefore starting, he briefly exited his form and sent a message and a bunch of items to his family.

nHe didn’t know when he would finish spending these system points.

nTen years, a hundred years, a thousand years, Maximus had to prepare for everything.

n“Damn stingy world’s will…”

nLooking at the world one last time, Maximus started his operation.

n“I hope I’m still me after this is done…”
