A few years later, after resting and playing to his heart’s content, Maximus returned to work.

However, before deducing the advancement path of the Amalgamation of Will, he reviewed its current state.

Urging the crystallized will in his origin, the collective will of all the people who believed and recognized him surged into his mind.

“Hmm? It increased so much?” Maximus muttered in shock.

In the past, the Etherium Realm produced about a few thousand causality points every year.

Hundreds of years ago with the population explosion and the appearance of the Eryndor race and the blood race, this number multiplied to 13-15 thousand worth of causality points.

Just now sensing the flow of the amalgamation of will, he estimated that it could be converted to about 30 thousand causality points every year, a twofold increase.

This number was insane; it’s like the population doubled in thin air.

“How did it change so much?”

Suddenly, Maximus noticed something mixed with the Amalgamation of Will.

No, it wasn’t just mixed with the Amalgamation of Will but integrated with the entire energy system of the Etherium Realm.

“Is this divine energy?” Maximus thought, recalling his visit to the Blood Ragnarok Realm.

Investigating the divine energy, he was shocked to discover it enhanced the mana quality of the Etherium Realm.

He didn’t expect, besides providing a stronger foundation, denser energy, and additional laws, devouring the Blood Ragnarok Realm could also integrate this unique energy system.

“It seems Etheria also worked on this energy…” Maximus noted, recognizing the artificial modeling of the divine energy.

If Etheria hadn’t reworked it, it might have clashed with the Etherium Realm’s mana system, causing imbalance or even chaos.

With a perfect blend, it even improved the Amalgamation of Will he received.

Soon, Maximus realized another reason for the enhancement of the Amalgamation of Will: Liam’s good management.

The blood race had fully integrated with the people of the Etherium Realm.

From daily life to the highest statuses, they were integrated into every sector of the Etherium Realm.

Due to this, with the surge of soul and spirit energy, the birth rate skyrocketed multiple times.

Furthermore, Liam had made further divisions within the Etherium Alliance, organizing it into different sectors like agriculture, transportation, education, trade, the army, social services, export, etc. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“What a good son!” Maximus praised inwardly.

He hadn’t expected Liam to make full use of the Ragnaroks.

Fealan, Readius, and Alabaster couldn’t be relied on—their seniority was so high that even Liam was embarrassed to order them around.

But the seven Ragnaroks, being defeated warriors, were easily worked to the bone by Liam.

There was also Lance, who had learned from his wise father.

Managing the army, defense security, and weapons development, Lance’s motto was “Attack is the best defense.”

Unfortunately, his helper, Ethan, had already returned to the Eternal Sect with his parents.

Otherwise, they could have combined their ingenious ideas, furthering the Etherium Realm.

Ethan had been straightened out by the family; Maximus didn’t need to interfere.

Just his wives and children—a brat could be easily taught.

Ethan had only grown crooked because his parents were lazy.

With their help, Ethan curbed his arrogance and stopped evaluating things based purely on face value.

Although still a bit lazy, when it came to important matters, Ethan displayed the bearing of the Shadowcrest family.

As for the others who stayed in the Etherium Realm:

Max and Ella were still in the process of conceiving another child.

Conceiving the next generation was difficult, especially after reaching the Tier 10 realm.

Taking their time, they remained in the Etherium Realm, treating it as a vacation.

As for Nathan and the others, they had already returned to the Ashura Sect.

There was nothing to do or fight in the Etherium Realm, which bored them.

After reviewing his family matters, Maximus turned his attention back to the Amalgamation of Will.

Causality Points: 30 million

“Thirty million causality points… It’s plenty enough.”

Planning to deduce the advancement path of the Amalgamation of Will as soon as possible, Maximus intended to use causality points.

Initially, he only had a few hundred thousand causality points left, but during his trip to the Immortal Palace Realm, he replenished his supply.

This time, instead of leeching off Iris, Maximus paid for the strands of causality.

He was embarrassed about exploiting such a beautiful woman—it made him feel like a gigolo.

Iris only needed 1,000 origin fragments to convert a strand of causality.

Paying 30 billion origin coins, he received 30 million strands of causality in exchange.

Because of this, he only constructed three Ethercore Dimensional Generator, in addition to the first one.

As for his balance, only a few hundred million origin coins remained.

He had returned to his initial state of being dirt poor.

Fortunately, he had already bought everything they needed to prepare for their long trip into the void.

Concentrating, he began using the causality points to deduce the advancement path of the Amalgamation of Will.

…

Five hundred years later.

Opening his tired eyes, Maximus looked at the crystallized will forming in the origin domain of the Etherium Realm.

If the crystallized will in his origin was like a barrier, the crystallized will forming in the Etherium Realm was like a core.

“Crystallized Autonomous Divine Will…”

The advancement he sought was divine will—the collective will of the people, merging and nurturing its own divinity.

Advancing to the Tier 10 realm, the Amalgamation of Will transformed into Divine Will.

The chaotic thoughts of people twisted together, unifying each will and opinion into a single rope to achieve a common goal.

Whether good, bad, selfish, or generous, each sector of thought united to form a purer will.

The direct effect was a massive increase in the number of causality points that could be converted by his system.

experience-MvLeMpYr-content

A pure Amalgamation of Will—the Divine Will—could convert almost three times the causality points as before.

This meant that the 30,000 causality points he once received could now reach almost 100,000!

In a thousand years, this would amount to around 100 million causality points.

One had to remember that even top sects like the Immortal Palace Sect could only earn a billion strands of causality of power each year.

Earning ten-thousandth that amount in a Tier 10 dimension was insane.

As for the crystallized core forming in the Etherium Realm, it was a byproduct of the Divine Will he had created.

An autonomous decision-maker, it had no mind, emotion, opinion, or will.

However, embedded into the core of the Etherium Realm and gathering the will of its people, its abilities were no less than Etheria or a Dimensional Master.

Responding to preprogrammed instructions, it could execute most tasks without his or Etheria’s control.

Furthermore, once the people’s thoughts united, it could even perform miracles beyond their ability.

Seeing the formation of the crystallized core of Divine Will, Maximus felt that all his efforts over the past five hundred years had been worth it.

With the crystallized core, Maximus could finally leave without worrying about the Etherium Realm.

Thinking of this, he remembered the Void Ship he had commissioned from the Mechanical Alliance.

It had been over a thousand years since he commissioned the vessel.

Looking at the notification he received a few years ago, he quickly exited his seclusion.

Seeing that the crystallized core was still forming and his wives were in seclusion, he teleported to the Mechanical Alliance without anyone noticing.

“Lord Shadowcrest, you’re here!” Morlov greeted him with a smile.

Morlov had already come to terms with the fact that he had conducted a money-losing deal.

Fortunately, knowing his plight, the Supreme Commander didn’t blame him but instead promoted him to be the special person in charge of Maximus.

Levon had already noticed something unusual about Maximus.

With the protection of Iris and his ability to fend off a Tier 11 powerhouse while still at Tier 9 without losing, he was comparable to the top prodigies cultivated by the Dimensional Alliance.

Currying favor with Maximus was no loss.

Levon even considered giving the Tier 12 Void Ship to Maximus for free.

However, thinking it might be too straightforward, he decided against it.

Buying such a prodigious talent with money might make it seem that they look down on Maximus.

If Maximus had known that Levon wanted to gift the ship but hesitated due to concerns about his dignity, he might have cried wrongfully.

650 trillion origin coins, equivalent to 650 billion strands of causality of power, were already a huge chunk needed to upgrade his physique.

With that kind of money, who cared about dignity?

After exchanging a few words with Morlov, Maximus examined the domineering ship before him.

Although it was only a few thousand meters in size, the texture and design were blood-pumping.

Testing its stealth capability, he used his consciousness to scan the ship.

However, what greeted him was nothing—his consciousness passed through the ship as if it were a mirage.

No energy signatures, no matter, no distinctive frequency—nothing!

The ship appeared to be a void in space, existing only in his imagination.

If not for the ship still being inactive, he might not have even seen it.

“What a magnificent vessel…”
