Chapter 74 System Origin

nIn the System Inventory space, an unknown bundle of chaotic light merged into Maximus’ consciousness projection.
nAfter a few minutes of being in a daze, Maximus finally opened his eyes.
nMaximus withdrew his consciousness projection from the system inventory and sat there in a trance, as if deep in thought.
n“So it is,” he unconsciously murmured.
n“Everything makes sense now,” he thought.
nWhy was the system named “Family and Power System” if it was useless, except for the mall?
nWhy not just call it the “Everything You Can Buy System” since this function is more useful?
nAfter he accumulated a certain amount of wealth, the primary function of his system became somewhat useless.
nHe can improve his potential just by buying drops of origin mana.
nAs for Gold Points generated by the number and strength of his wives?
nIt’s the most useless, as he can earn billions of it just by reselling items in the supposed to be an auxiliary function of the system.
nFortunately, it is fixed now, giving it a new lease of life. Living up to its name of a family system.
n…
nThe bundle of chaotic light in the inventory is the intermittent recording of the system since its creation.
nThe system was created by the Time and Space Bureau, which manages and maintains the balance of the multiverse domains across different times and spaces.
nThey were the ones most responsible for creating different systems, Reincarnation Spaces, etc.
nThey created various systems for various purposes, whether to balance a world, destroy a world, or harvest it.
nThe “Family and Power System,” was created to harvest the world of its time energy.
nIt harvested time energy in the form of family, leveraging this so-called bond and absorbing the world’s excess time energy.
nWith this, they would get what they wanted while also preventing the overflow of time energy to different dimensions and affecting that world.
nAs for why they needed time, it was their main energy or currency, so to speak.
nAfter all, to manage dimensions in different times and spaces, they needed unique and suitable energy.
nThe Family and Power System was damaged before it bound him because it was merely a defective product that the Time and Space Bureau discarded and treat as a waste product.
nIts main flaw is that it can’t transmit the time energy it absorbs to the Time and Space Bureau.
nOriginally, if a person bound the system normally, he was only meant to gain potential points as a means of protection so that the Time and Space Bureau could absorb time energy for a long time.
nUnfortunately, it was a defective product, unable to transmit the absorbed time energy to them.
nSo they just discarded the system, like trash in some corner, and after a long time, it would melt into the void and cease to exist.
nAnd it did. After a long time, it started losing all of its abilities, melting into the void. But then, an anomaly happened.
nA passing myriad world mall happened to bump into it, causing a time-space ripple.
nThey merged, binding him as an unlucky ghost—or should he say, a lucky ghost?
n…
nThe Myriad World Mall originates from a different source than the Family and Power System.
nWhile his system comes from the Time and Space Bureau, the Myriad World Mall is created by the Dimensional Business Alliance.
nIt is a gathering of powerhouses from various dimensions who have created this system, referred to as a product of multiple laws.
nIt is created like a program written in runic language but is more advanced and stronger, utilizing laws instead of lower-tier energies.
nIf Maximus were to rate the strength of these powerhouses, he would consider them Tier 10 or higher based on the power system of this world.
n…
nAfter understanding the origin of the system, he felt relieved since his system is a unique product solely owned by him.
nUnless there is an unknown Tier 10 powerhouse here, there would be no one who could detect or influence his system.
nHe taps on the newly changed Myriad World Mall interface.
nMyriad World Mall:
nAstral Chronoscope Dimension Shop…
nEldritch Abyss Dimensional Shops…
nXanadu Dimensional Shops…
nVerdantis Machine Dimensional Shops…
nMindvault Scholarium Dimensional Shops…
nUnknown Dimensional Shops…
n…
nThe list is the name of the dimensions that were included in the Dimensional Business Alliance or in the scope of the Myriad World Mall.
nAs for the unknown dimensional shops?
nIt is the collection of wild Myriad World Mall systems that have encountered time and space anomalies without exposing their dimension coordinates.
nTherefore, the dimension names of these shops are unknown.
nThe connection of laws within the Myriad World Mall systems enables the delivery of items without explicit coordinates.
nUnless the various powerhouses who created it unanimously agree, they cannot forcibly track one’s dimension coordinates.
nThis means that Maximus’s dimension coordinates are undisclosed, making him the sole owner of the Myriad World Mall in Etherium Realm.
nAs exposed dimensional coordinates would attract multiple Myriad World Malls, the fact that his coordinates remain unknown implies great wealth.
nIf many have access to the mall, it would become just an alternative online mall with a broader selection.
nThe dimensional coordinates can be exposed through the recruitment, sale, and hiring of sentient creatures.
nThose who are recruited or hired may carry devices specifically designed to track dimensional coordinates.𝑶𝐯xt.𝓒𝑂𝑚
nAdditionally, if he sold sentinent being of this world, powerful beings proficient in divination can use the souls of aborigines to track dimensional coordinates if they are interested.
nThis is why his system doesn’t sell anything sentient when it was in a defective state, it was one of its protective measures.
nAlthough he can now purchase slaves, he must bear the risk of his world’s dimensional coordinates being exposed.
nRegarding the previous ability to purchase beast pets from the system mall, those creatures were in an ignorant frozen state, rendering them immune to conscious tracking, unlike sentient slaves or beings.
nWhile browsing through various dimensional shops, Maximus pondered how can he obtain a book about the basic knowledge of the Etherium Realm.
nHe can understand the similarities in various seeds, plants, and magic items due to the multitude of dimensions.
nFor the limited items for sale previously, he can blame it as a protective measure of the system, filtering all items that are in line with this realm.
nHowever, he wondered how can the system sell knowledge about this world if no one discovered the coordinates of this realm.
nMaximus searches for information on how the book about the Etherium Realm came to be in the intermittent recording of the system that he just integrated.
nHe discovered that when the system bound him, and was brought to this world through a space and time anomaly.
nDuring that brief moment, his system managed to roughly scan the Etherium Realm and compile it into a book, which was then sold to him at a low price.
nThe book only contains basic information because of the limited time available, the weakened state of the system, and the basic protection mechanism of the Etherium Realm.
n…
nAfter Maximus finished roughly examining the various changes in the system
nMaximus contemplated his plan for the future.
nThe changes in the system were truly remarkable, especially the significant increase in potential points he could acquire every day, which would greatly boost his potential.
nMana Compatibility: Rank 4 Legendary (7,303
/10,000)
nPotential Points: 27,941
nHe clicked and add more points to further enhance his mana compatibility.
n 2,697
nMana Compatility: Rank 5 Mythic (0
/1,000,000)
nPotential Points: 25,224
nHe also allocated some points towards his uncommon potential in Mechanics, as it would be his primary profession in the future.
nMechanic Comprehension: Rank 2 Uncommon (0
/100)
n 11,100
nMechanic Comprehension: Rank 5 Mythic (0
/1,000,000)
nPotential Points: 14,144
nFor now, he was done allocating points as his potential points were limited.
nEarlier, he had thought about using potential points to upgrade the potential of his wives and children, but unfortunately, it was not possible.
nIt would be a major bug if he could upgrade their potential and obtain more life and potential points in turn.
nFortunately, he could accumulate 28,017 potential points per day, which meant that in a little over a month, he could upgrade his mana compatibility potential to Rank 6 Divine.
nAs for Life Points, he could only obtain 9,300 of them every day, equivalent to over 25 years per day, which seemed mind-boggling now that he thought about it.
nThe Time and Space Bureau was undeniably profitable and good at absorbing the excess time energy, and it had not even reached its maximum potential yet.
nMaximus wondered about the immense excess time energy in the Etherium Realm that he could absorb in the future.
nPerhaps in just a single day, he could accumulate billions of years’ worth of time energy.
nThe mere thought of it filled him with anticipation for his bright future.
nFeeling tired from the surprises of the day, Maximus retired to his room and prepared to rest.
