”Now for the Finale, we have a top Tier 10 Foundational Manual.”

“This foundational manual contains 161,800 laws, just shy of becoming an Ultimate manual,” the Auctioneer explained.

“161,800 Laws?!” the crowd suddenly shouted in disbelief and excitement.

The reason those who possess an Ultimate manual can surely reach the peak of the Tier 11 realm and become masters of the River of Law is because they have a complete foundation, cultivating 161,803 laws.

In theory, the larger the number of laws cultivated, the easier it is to comprehend the River of Laws.

The River of Law is the manifestation of how the laws function.

For example, the Ocean of Killing manifests the 161,803 laws in the form of killing, ending everything in its path.

Mastering all the laws, one just needed to copy the combination pattern of the Ocean of Killing to master it.

Seeing the manual, Maximus was also a little tempted.

Buying this manual would make it easier for him to create the following chapters of the ‘Origin’ manual.

Just absorbing this book inheritance was already half the work done.

“Tsk, they even dared to sell this thing; fortunately, it’s a book inheritance,” Otto said, looking at the book inheritance with fiery eyes.

The knowledge gained through book inheritance couldn’t be passed on to others.

Thus, book inheritance is a must to pass top-tier techniques.

Not only can it ensure the user comprehends the knowledge, but it also ensures that it cannot be passed to others.

Maximus had been studying ways to create something similar to book inheritance, but so far, he hadn’t been successful.

As for creating an actual book inheritance, this can only be achieved by becoming a master of the River of Law.

Otherwise, turning your knowledge into a book inheritance is equivalent to completely forgetting what you have studied.

Although Maximus had system points to quickly comprehend the lost knowledge, he couldn’t afford such losses.

He sold what he learned to earn some extra money, not to learn for the sake of money.

Even if he could earn a lot from it, it would only waste his time, which contrary to his goals.

“Why wouldn’t they dare to sell this book inheritance?” Maximus asked seeing how Otto reacted strongly.

It’s just a top-tier manual, given time he could also create a manual that could at least carry 161,800 laws.

As for creating another Ultimate Manual, he was just lucky the first time.

Without various coincidence, Maximus didn’t have the confidence to achieve this feat again.

“You don’t know the hardship of creating this level of foundational manual.”

“Tiers 1 to 10 are the time to lay the most solid foundation to comprehend all elements and laws.”

“The more solid the foundation, the more likely one can become a master of the River of Law.”

“The reason why a top family is a top family is not only because of its wealth and strength but also because it has this top-tier manual creating generations of powerhouses.”

“The method needed to create this top-tier manual is not easy.”

“After merging a hundred thousand laws, the following process would be a gruesome trial of hell.”

“Even for the Starling family, after countless times and wealth invested, they were only able to create a manual containing 161,756,” Otto sighed, thinking of the hardships of his family.

“Is that so?” Maximus frowned.

The reason the ‘Origin’ manual reached the ultimate level, despite not possessing all the elements and laws, is due to a trick.

Maximus managed to deduce a way to make the ‘Origin’ Manual capable of merging all laws without changing its essence.

Otherwise, the ‘Origin’ Manual would be a mere trick, without packing any power.

He just didn’t know if he would encounter a barrier after merging hundreds of thousands of laws, ater all, he was only merging elements now.

Remembering the hundreds of octillion books that he needed to study, Maximus couldn’t help but sigh.

“Where do you think this foundational manual is from? It seems much stronger than your family,” Maximus asked in doubt.

“It should be from the Eternal Sect.”

“Like the Mercenary Alliance, the Eternal sect is only second to the Overlords of the Dimensional Alliance.”

“According to the data base of the family, this sect has at least ten individuals who are masters of the Ocean of Law,” Otto said in admiration.

The Sterling family only has three people who have mastered the Ocean of Law.

Knowing the Eternal Sect has such a foundation, he didn’t dare show any disrespect.

While they were talking, the bidding went into a high pitch.

“7.5 billion Origin Coins!”

“7.7 Billion Origin Coins!”

“8 Billion Origin Coins! Friends, let me have this one; the Montgomery Family will thank you for this!” echoed from the VIP room.

“Montgomery Family? Hey, the cheapskate family!” Otto muttered in dissatisfaction.

The Montgomery family is on the same level as the Sterling family.

However, instead of relying on skill to earn wealth, the Montgomery family relied on its strength.

They were one of the biggest slave traders, destroying more dimensions than some famous devourers.

If not for the various legitimate reasons that the Montgomery family had to justify their actions, they would have long been regarded as a family of devourers.

Seeing the nearly ultimate manual in front of him, Otto didn’t hesitate any longer and bid.

“10 billion Origin Coins!”

“Alexander, don’t use your fancy names here; this is an auction, let your money talk,” Otto jeered, without fearing any backlash.

“Tch, damn Sterling brat! 11 billion!” Alexander Montgomery said recognizing Otto’s voice.

His family only had a foundational manual containing 161,728 laws. Saʀᴄh the NvlFir.nt website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

Getting this book’s inheritance would give him an edge in the family.

“Hehe, if you’re poor, just say it! 15 billion!” Otto said with a smile.

Otto was different from Alexander; he was the core of the Sterling family.

He had the authority to mobilize the family treasury.

Thus, no matter how much Alexander bid, an individual couldn’t beat the wealth of a family.

Soon after bidding back and forth, Otto easily won by using 125 billion Origin Coins to pile up money.

“Crazy!” Maximus screamed internally.

Thinking that he only possessed 5 million, Maximus felt like he was in the wrong place.

125 Billion Origin Coins?

Maximus could barely comprehend the foundation of these top families.

“Hehe,” getting the Tier 11 book inheritance, Otto couldn’t help but laugh weirdly.

Having an Origin Grade Ultimate Physique and a near-perfect foundationalanual, becoming a master of the Ocean of Law was only a matter of time.

“I didn’t expect that the Void Auction would even have this realm of treasure!” Otto muttered with a smile.

The Void Auction happens every thousand years; for longer-

lived beings like themselves, it was like a daily auction.

Thus, Otto would never have even thought that he would stumble upon such a perfect foundational manual.

“It seems that something is different about this auction,” Otto muttered in enlightenment.

From the Tier 11 peak book inheritance to the near-ultimate foundational manual, Otto didn’t believe that there was nothing wrong.

Mobilizing all the family resources, they looked through everything that might have a large impact on the present events.

While the auction was on break, preparing for the next category, his subordinate found something.

“Huh? There’s a large movement in the abyss?”

“Are they preparing for a large-scale war?” Otto muttered with a frown.

Hearing this, Maximus’s ears perked up.

“It seems that the Dimensional Alliance is also preparing for war.”

Thinking about this, Otto managed to piece it together.

The reason why there are so many higher-tier items in the auction is to prepare for the upcoming war.

In a war of this scale, even dimensional masters and large-scale organizations need to stock up.

“What do you think triggered the abyss to go this crazy?” Otto asked Maximus.

“Maybe some heaven-defying treasure?” Maximus replied blankly.

However, thinking of the titled abyss that nearly crushed him with just its presence, Maximus couldn’t help but shiver.

Although he didn’t know if he was their target, Maximus was sure he would be in trouble once the war started.

Just that crazy titled abyss creature was already enough for him to eat the pot.

…

In the Scarlet Abyss Dimension, under a blood-red moon hanging above:

The Scarlet Empress unconsciously tapped her fingers, observing the recent movements of the abyss.

“Did it notice?” The Scarlet Empress thought, thinking of Maximus.

“No, it shouldn’t be. It must be another matter within the Dimensional Alliance,” she concluded, squinting her eyes.

Although the Dimensional Source is an Origin Grade physique that is sought after by the titled abyss, such as herself.

It was not enough to mobilize such a movement.

It must be something that even the Abyss Will itself wanted.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

“He is mine and mine alone; even the Abyss Will can only dream of getting a share…”
