“Not bad…” Maximus thought, seeing the Etherium Realm won another wave of war.

It had been 1,300 years since the second phase of the Dimensional War began.

During those 1,300 years, there had been 13 waves of war, of which the Etherium Realm had won 10.

Hundreds of years ago, while Maximus was in semi-seclusion, the Etherium Realm lost three consecutive times.

It was the darkest period for the Etherium Realm.

Losing three times in a row meant that the Blood Ragnarok Realm had already gained the upper hand and was capable of beating them to pieces.

The Blood Ragnarok Realm was not a simple dimension—it was a former tier-11 dimension that had fallen from a previous Dimensional War. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although weakened, the Blood Ragnarok Realm was still a formidable force, not something even a peak tier 9 dimension could hope to defeat.

If not for Maximus’ help, the Etherium Realm would have been devastated in the first phase of the Dimensional War.

With its ancient legacies, the longer the war continued, the stronger the Blood Ragnarok Realm became.

This was evident from their three consecutive victories hundreds of years ago.

If not for his timely intervention, the Etherium Realm may have already fallen to despair.

Seeing the Etherium Realm’s decline, Maximus exited his seclusion, hoping to find a solution and stop their loss.

Coincidentally, the Void Auction took place just as the Etherium Realm was losing another round of war.

During the auction, Maximus purchased two tier-10 dimensional treasures, significantly strengthening the Etherium Realm’s foundation.

The first was the Virtual Core Server, a dimensional treasure capable of connecting to the Virtual Realm and forming a virtual domain territory.

Within this territory, Maximus’ control was akin to an omnipotent god, able to transform anything and create something from nothing, with authority second only to the Virtual Overlord.

Typically, one needed to be at least at tier 9 realm to access the Virtual Realm.

However, in his virtual domain territory, Maximus was the rule maker, allowing everyone from the Etherium Realm to enter.

This made it much more convenient to train the people of the Etherium Realm.

By simulating the rules of the Void Battlefield and the power of the Blood Ragnarok Realm, they could better prepare for battle.

This was far more efficient than the virtual realm he had previously created.

Not only were the rules flawless, but Maximus also didn’t need to program anything as everything was already modularized.

Every civilization, organization, species, materials, treasure, power, rules, as long as it’s registered in the Dimensional Alliance, it could be perfectly simulated.

As long as one had enough money, they could even simulate the power of a tier 11 peak powerhouse.

With one to one ratio to the void battlefield, various strategies, fighting techniques, and plans could be formulated before each battle.

It could be said that spending over 10 billion origin coins on the Virtual Core Server was worthwhile, significantly reducing Etherium Realm’s casualties.

Maximus had grown tired of the Etherium Realm’s people’s wastefulness.

Despite limiting the resurrection quota, they had still managed to drain over 10 billion origin fragments in just a thousand years.

Besides the Virtual Core Server, the other treasure he bought was the Underworld Origin Space.

The Etherium Realm had no underworld for the dead, only a reincarnation cycle.

A reincarnation cycle takes the fallen origin and recycles it to form another entity.

One’s memory, experience, physical appearance, talent, soul, etc., would be different from the past.

Although it would be the same origin, they would be a completely new entity.

However, with the Underworld Origin Space, these fallen origins he couldn’t resurrect had a place to go.

Not only could their originality be preserved, even as time passed, could regain their consciousness and live normally in a soul-like state.

Fighting for the Etherium Realm’s survival, Maximus, though reluctant to spend more, couldn’t let them die out of existence.

Though it didn’t directly enhance combat ability, the Underworld Origin Space gave the people hope and the will to fight to the very end.

Knowing death wouldn’t be the end, and they could one day enjoy the glory they helped forge, they trained and fought even more fiercely.

Alongside the two dimensional treasures, Maximus also bought Wanderer a complete tier-11 mechanical workshop.

With the tier-11 workshop, Wanderer could produce more mechanical swarms in a shorter period of time, helping to balance the numbers with their opposing enemy.

Although resource-intensive, the scrap materials from the mechanical swarms could be recycled, minimizing losses.

With these three treasures costing tens of billions of origin coins, Etherium Realm’s losing streak was reversed.

Seeing another victory, Maximus smiled, feeling his investments had been worth it.

Gazing at the ten scattered land masses in the Chaotic Ocean, Maximus held his chin in thought.

The land won in the Dimensional War was rich in resources, ranging from tier-0 to tier-10. There were even some tier-11 resources to be found.

However, it only floated in the chaotic sea and wasn’t generating any value.

He had invested too much money in the war, but so far, he had only been spending and spending.

“Should I start constructing the King’s Battlefield?” Maximus mused.

Maximus had promised to share this land with the people of the Etherium Realm, turning it into a lawless zone where they could thrive and strengthen their will.

He also planned to incorporate rules inspired by the Ashura Realm, creating the perfect battlefield.

Unfortunately, the Etherium Realm was still a tier-9 dimension.

Even though the tier-10 Void Core could simulate a tier-10 environment, his dimensional authority remained limited.

With such weak dimensional authority, Maximus couldn’t do as he pleased.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Etheria’s progress in devouring the Abyss.

“Another thousand years…” Maximus calculated.

Once Etheria fully devoured the Abyss, the Etherium Realm would ascend to a tier-10 dimension.

At that point, Maximus would gain stronger dimensional authority and more leverage for the things he wanted to accomplish.

Excitement surged within him at the thought of the Etherium Realm’s upcoming advancement.

“However, a thousand years is too long!” Maximus thought impatiently.

Deducing methods to accelerate the Etherium Realm’s progress, Maximus closed his eyes.

Soon, a glint of realization flashed in his eyes as he smiled with interest.

“Etheria,” he called.

“What do you need, host?” Etheria asked, bowing as she floated in the pool.

“Hmm? Is this Etheria, husband? She’s so beautiful!” Rose muttered, seeing a woman appear before them.

“What a stunning woman. Is she really a dimensional will?” Irene murmured.

“Sister Etheria, why don’t you join us in the pool? It’s so comfortable here,” Erica said, pulling Etheria closer.

“But the host still has something to say,” Etheria questioned blankly.

“Hahaha, just come here with us. He can talk while we relax,” Erica said, winking at Maximus.

“You all…” Maximus smiled helplessly.

Etheria was indeed beautiful, perhaps even rivaling his wives.

If she weren’t a dimensional will…

Though not as beautiful as Iris, his wives possessed otherworldly beauty unmatched by most.

Nurtured by him and a derivative of the Origin Manual he had created, they would only grow more beautiful as time passed.

Their beauty wasn’t merely physical but extended to their aura, temperament, and presence.

Like Iris, many would be entranced just by looking at his wives.

Looking at Etheria, who had been evolving at an impressive pace, Maximus couldn’t help but be puzzled.

In just a few encounters, her temperament had almost caught up with that of his wives.

Looking at her beside him, Maximus couldn’t help but pinch her cheek.

“How have you changed so much?”

“It’s according to your will, host. As a dimensional will, I become what you desire,” Etheria said seriously.

“Oh?” Maximus murmured, pinching her face a little longer.

Suppressing his urges, Maximus brought out a copy of the Origin Manual.

“Can you train using this?”

Etheria was a dimensional will; according to the deductions from the Seal of Truth, they should be capable of training like other beings in the Aeon Plane.

“I’ll try, host,” Etheria nodded, reading the manual.

As she did, the Etherium Realm trembled, and the lake made of tier 9 liquid solution rippled as Etheria’s aura began to change.

Tier 1… tier 2… tier 3… tier 4… tier 5… tier 6…

tier 7… tier 8… tier 9…

“Stop!” Maximus commanded urgently, feeling the lake rapidly losing its potency.

Fortunately, Etheria stopped in time, only consuming a few hundred thousand portions of tier 9 liquid solution.

“So fast!” they all murmured, astonished by her advancement.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Maximus inspected Etheria’s current state.

Although nothing had changed outwardly, he sensed that she had grown stronger.

If before, Etheria had been like a solidified spirit, now she felt more like flesh and blood—an actual being.

“How do you feel?” Maximus asked.

The Origin Manual he had given Etheria was tailored specifically for a dimensional will.

Although it was only a derivative of his manual, it was still stronger than the ones his wives used, owing to Etheria’s immense potential.

“I—”
