nAfter a self-destructing attack, Maximus found himself in emptiness.

nAlthough conscious, he couldn’t sense anything—neither touch, sight, or smell.

nEven time and space were nowhere to be found.

n“Is this death?” Maximus wondered.

nFeeling curious, Maximus couldn’t help but study his state.

nIn his ‘death’ state, he couldn’t feel or do anything.

nAlthough he could think, he couldn’t comprehend the laws and things he had learned.

nBesides his core memories, all the things he had mastered seemed to be gone.

n“Is this inside my origin?” Maximus guessed.

nHis origin contained everything he was made up of: his memories of his family, the world, all of his living experiences.

nBecause his origin was fragile, all the things he had mastered were only backed up in the real world, waiting for him to be resurrected.

nOrigin is a raw state of life.

nBesides containing the genetic makeup of life, spirit, and soul, it couldn’t contain anything more.

nOnly because of Maximus’s practice could it contain memories, so he wouldn’t forget himself once he was resurrected.

nWhile he was wandering around in the emptiness, he seemed to touch something.

nA broken crack-up bubble, near it he felt comfortable like he was being nurtured.

n“Is this the system?” Feeling the cognition it sent to him, he confirmed the existence next to him was the system.

n“It seems that it’s bound to my core origin.” Maximus thought happily.

nIn the future, knowing that the system would still be bound to him even in death, Maximus felt relieved.

nWho knew if he would reincarnate in another plane of existence?

nAt that time, his backup memories couldn’t be used.

nBy then, he would only have his living memories and the origin manual automatically circulating in his body.

nAlthough he could still power through with such an advantage, without the system, his early stage of reincarnation would be rough.

nTinkering with the system, it seemed to be in an inactive state.

nMaximus couldn’t check whether the information it stored or the system space was also bound with it.

nHaving nothing to do, he played around with the system, not feeling the passing of time.

nSoon, feeling a pulling force, he knew it was time for him to be reborn.

n…

nVirtual Tower.

nIn the center of the room, huge energy was condensing layer by layer, starting from the origin, spirit, soul, and body.

nAlthough Zero had said that the Virtual Realm could resurrect everyone as everything in it was only generated, the attempt Maximus put off was another matter.

nIf the destruction of others’ origins was like burning wood with ashes left, Maximus was like a mirage vanishing into existence.

nFortunately, using its computing power and the almightiness of the Virtual Realm, Zero found traces of Maximus’s origin.

nIn many parts of their plane of existence, many fragments of Maximus’s origin were hidden.

nIt seemed as though Maximus expected his ‘death,’ waiting to be resurrected using the fragments of his origin.

nSuch a clever plan made it convenient for Zero to resurrect Maximus.

nOtherwise, if someone died in the Virtual Realm, it would be a massive loss of face for its master.

nSeeing Maximus fully condensed, Zero flickered a little, as if a little of such shenanigans.

n“Huh~” Breathing in the fresh air, Maximus felt happy to be alive.

nAfter a little while, all the backup memories he left merged into him, waking him up to reality.

nLooking at the time, he saw that it was only a few days before and after his death.

nRemembering his previous state, Maximus wouldn’t want to experience it again.

nA day felt like an eternity in such an empty space.

nSuddenly he seemed to remember something.

n“What about my reward?”

nNot hearing any answer, he saw the tier 9 trial still had another floor he didn’t go.

nUnderstanding, Maximus ascended toward the next floor.

n…

nVirtual Tower, Treasure Terrace:

n“So this is where my reward is…”

nLooking around, he saw a grand and solemn room.

nTreasures brimming with energy were encased as if waiting for a victorious challenger.

nBefore he could look around further, a majestic energy suddenly descended on him.

n“Hmm? Causality of Evolution?” Maximus muttered as information about the majestic energy appeared in his mind.

nCausality of Evolution can evolve and enhance anything in existence—whether physique, power, potential, technique, treasure—everything one could think of.

n“What a reward!” Maximus muttered with a smile.

nGetting the Causality of Evolution, Maximus was a little tangled about where to use it.

nUsing this majestic energy, he was sure his physique could advance to rank 11.

n“No, it would be a waste,” Maximus thought.

nEnhancing his physique using the Causality of Evolution would be a waste.

nAfter this trial, Lilith’s physique should have advanced to rank 11.

nBefore coming here, he already planned to use Lilith’s ability to copy a tier 11 physique enhancer potion.

nMaximus even advised Skye to use the reward to enhance the grade of her physique.

nThinking of this, he also thought of using the Causality of Evolution to enhance the grade of his physique.

nUnfortunately, it was too far-fetched. saʀᴄh th NvlFir(.)nt website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

nAlthough the reward is not enough to enhance her physique from supreme to origin grade, it would at least make it stronger.

nFurthermore, with more accumulation, there is a possibility of it advancing in the future.

nThinking of this, he also thought of using the Causality of Evolution to enhance the grade of his physique.

nUnfortunately, it was too far-fetched.

nThe Causality of Evolution he had was too little to experiment with; it might not even work as the grade of his physique was already the highest.

nThe second thing he thought of enhancing with the Causality of Evolution was his realm.

nUntil now, he hadn’t even reached 1 percent of his realm.

nHis cultivation seemed to come to a halt as he couldn’t advance even a little bit using the highest available resources.

nIf his progress remained the same, it would take him hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years to advance to the peak of tier 9.

nThis is still when he hadn’t incorporated the other 160,685 other essences of law.

nBy then, it might take epochs before he could reach the peak of his realm.

n“This is not it either,” Maximus decided.

nEven if he could use the Causality of Evolution to reach the peak of his realm with more than enough spare for the other 160,685 laws, it would be impractical.

nThe Causality of Evolution was the reward he fought for, sacrificing his life.

nTo use it because he couldn’t wait a few years was blasphemous.

nMaximus had no problem with his combat power now.

nEven if he fought ordinary tier 11 powerhouses, he could still fight one or two.

nThinking of this, he shifted his attention to the Amalgamation of Will.

nAmalgamation of Will is a tier 9 energy, similar to the essence of the law.

nHaving origin coins as a replacement for system points resources, it became almost obsolete.

nHowever, the potential of the Amalgamation of Will is still huge.

nThis is a renewable energy that could be sustainably harvested from conscious living beings.

nThis is an entirely new system.

nAlthough it is similar to faith, an energy derived from the will of people, Faith is tainted energy like polluted water.

nNot only would the believers be affected, but even the gods would be polluted by the faith they follow.

nTheir personality, attitude, and persona would be closer and closer to their chosen godhead as they advanced.

nBecause of the influence of disordered personality, they had a hard time advancing to the tier 11 realm.

nAmalgamation of Will on the other hand is a pure belief and recognition of people.

nIt’s untainted and has a wide variety of uses.

nIf it advances to tier 10 or 11, Maximus may be able to create an entirely new path for himself.

n“It’s too far away…” Maximus suddenly thought.

nHe still had many more important matters to attend to, and creating a path with unknown potential wasn’t worth it.

nThinking of his ‘death’ state earlier, he remembered the system that is bound to him even in death.

n“My system!” he exclaimed.

nThe system that had been bound to him since the beginning of his journey, giving him a chance of another life and glory.

nHowever, because it’s severely damaged, it can only help up to the tier 10 realm.

nAs time passes, its usefulness will become more and more negligible.

nIf only the time points could help tier 11 individuals’ enlightenment.

nIf only the potential points could also be used by other individuals.

nIf only it could add other functions…

nThinking of the possibilities, Maximus felt excitement.

n“That’s it!”

nWithout thinking further, he directed all the Causality of Evolution towards the system.

nAs it resonated with the Causality of Evolution, the cracks it once had slowly repaired, becoming more solid and real.

nFurthermore, the previous impervious system security was suddenly open to his eyes.

nA rune security that couldn’t even be seen by the primordial origin eyes was presented before him.

nNot wanting this chance to pass by, his mind began to overdrive, consuming countless system points, and accelerating his consciousness to an unknown degree.

nEven if Maximus died because of overdrive, he was determined to engrave the core operating runes of the system in his mind.

nThis was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a glimpse of this higher power.
