nIn the castle dining chamber, Maximus and his family were having a feast.

nTasting Erica’s cooking, he had to say divine talent is indeed on another level.

nIt was incomparable to the food cooked by the spirit chef when he was on the ship heading towards the Arcane continent.

nThere were also the twins Luna and Livia who had divine talent when it came to music.

nEating while listening to music was a heavenly experience.

nHis children also enjoyed the show and asked if they could learn it too.

nUnfortunately, when he scanned their status in the system, their highest talent in other professions is only ranked 3 Rare.

nFortunately, there are many items in the Myriad World Mall that can enhance talent in a certain field, so it’s not a problem.

nEverything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

nIf it can’t be solved with money, then you don’t have enough of it.

nAfter the feast, he flew towards the underground granary.

nLooking at the massive granary in front of him, he started setting up the array.

nFirst, he bought Preservation Array from the system.

nFormation Array Aptitude: Mythic (0

nPreservation Array (Tier 3): Transcendent (Max)

n“It is indeed easy to master specific knowledge,” Maximus murmured.

nHe thought of mastering a couple of Tier 3 spells so he could have a quick boost in strength.

nWith his transcendent mastery of Preservation Array, setting it up was a piece of cake.

nAfter he bought the array of materials, with his powerful spiritual consciousness, he manipulated the materials simultaneously and quickly finished setting up the array in just a few hours.

n…

nThe next day, he summoned Doran to his office.

n“I have finished setting up the Preservation Array in the granary. You can start transporting the food there,” Maximus began.

n“Alright, Your Majesty. I’ll do it right away,” Doran respectfully said.

nAfter that, they discussed the specifics of the task, including the process of buying the harvested crops and how to sell them.

n…

nAfter talking to Doran, he headed to the hidden underground chamber of the castle.

nAfter a night of thinking, he came up with a solution to create a virtual world without it being time-consuming and difficult.

nThe problem with creating a rune program for a virtual world is that inscribing runes is time-consuming.

nJust like when he inscribed the Moonlight Forum previously, it took him two weeks just for a simple function.

nHe thought of making a device to inscribe an array for himself.

nThis is not sold in the Myriad System Mall, as inscribing a rune program requires a soul as a driving force and a brand.

nMeaning, whoever made the rune program had the highest authority over it.

nSo, at most, the Myriad System Mall sold a rune program manual, not the actual product.

nAlternatively, he could buy a sentient slave to inscribe the rune program.

nWith him being the master, it would be equivalent to having the highest authority over it.

nUnfortunately, buying slaves from the Myriad World Mall risks having the coordinates of Etherium Realm exposed.

nHis solution was to create artificial intelligence and split a part of his soul to act as a guide and the brand of the rune program, bearing his soul signature.

nHe first browsed the Myriad World Mall of the interstellar-type dimension and looked for knowledge about creating artificial intelligence.

nThen he bought the entire Eldrune Runic Language.

nNext, he searched for knowledge about combining runes and souls.

nCombining Runes and Souls: Initial (10,000)

nEldrune Runic Language: Initial (1,000,000)

nAfter he bought all the necessary items, it was time to allocate points.

nFortunately, he stopped adding points these days, hoping to use them when necessary.

nSo he had enough life and potential points when needed.

nPP: 224,948

nLP: 78,330

nHe first upgraded the Runic Comprehension then the rest.

nRune Comprehension… 22,200 PP

nArtificial intelligence… 3,000 LP = 1,500,000 1 LP = 500

nRune and Souls… 150 LP = 150,000 * 1 LP = 1,000

nEldrune… 15,000 LP = 15 million * 1 LP = 1,000

nAfter he finished adding points, he looked at his system.

nCreating Artificial Intelligence: Transcendent (Max)

nEldrune Runic Language: Transcendent (Max)

nArmed with transcendent mastery, he started creating an AI-runic program for himself.

nWaving his hand, he began inscribing the AI runic program, translating the interstellar programming language to Eldrune language.

n…

nWithout resting, three days later, he completed the body of the AI runic program.

nLooking at the exquisite program that he had created himself, Maximus couldn’t help but marvel at how powerful transcendent mastery is.

nHe went beyond what was written in the book and added his personal insights and requirements, making the AI runic program highly malleable.

nHe thought that in the future when he had more knowledge, he could upgrade this AI runic program to become truly sentient, not just driven by his soul.

nNow, the only missing thing was a part of his soul.

nFirst, he bought a Tier 3 Soul Splitting spell.

nSoul Splitting Spell: Initial (1

/3,000)𝔬𝐕𝗅xt.𝗇t

n 50 LP = 45,000

nTier 3 Soul Splitting Spell: Transcendent (Max)

nWith transcendent mastery, he easily split a part of his soul without harming his foundation, and through meditation, it would naturally heal.

nPlacing a part of his soul into the AI runic program, it started to run and calibrate.

nThe Aethercore started running and begin emitting a cracking noise.

nWarning! Warning!

nNatural Power Supply is not enough…

nSwitching to the backup power supply…

nThe natural mana supplied by the kingdom’s array was not enough to run the calibration of the AI runic program, causing it to consume the top magic crystal that was within it.

nLooking at the top magic crystal becoming smaller and smaller, instead of panicking and feeling sad about the loss of money, he was instead excited.

nThis proved that the AI runic program he had created was revolutionary.

nHe bought another top magic crystal in case one was not enough, costing another 1 billion GP.

nAfter a few minutes, the AI runic program finished calibrating.

nInitialization… Complete…

nWith a part of his soul within the runic program, he could easily control it as if he were controlling his own body.

nHe then controlled the program to merge with the Aethercore, causing the whole thing to crack again and consume a magic crystal.

nAfter it was done, he could now control and view the entire array set in the kingdom using a part of his soul, which was much more extensive than before.

n“Now let’s test the efficiency of inscribing runes,” Maximus murmured to himself.

nFirst, he bought the runic program model for a virtual colosseum.

nAfter all, the AI runic program could not truly think on its own.

nThe little soul within it was only its driving force to inscribe runes and for Maximus to have better control over it.

nAfter he inputted the program into his consciousness, he passed his soul into the runic program.

nInscribing…

nEstimated time… 198 hours…

n“Excellent,” Maximus nearly clapped his hands in satisfaction with his successful work.

nBut as he looked at the dwindling top magic crystal, he grew worried again.

nAt this rate, the inscribing process will consume at least one top magic crystal a day.

nMaximus sighed, after all, not everything is perfect.

nIn the Etherium Realm, top magic crystals were super rare resources, even powerhouses were reluctant to use them.

nYet he had the audacity to use them because he was lazy and didn’t have the time to inscribe rune programs like a normal person.

nHowever, for him, as long as it could be solved with money, it wasn’t really a problem.

nNow he just needed to wait for a little over a week for the virtual colosseum to be completed.

nAs for the moonlight mall he had planned previously, he scrapped it for now.

nWith only him selling there, it defeated his purpose of circulating money.

nHe would wait until most of his people learned various professions like mechanics and alchemy.

nFor now, he would let the Aetheria Pavilion handle all the selling.

n…

nThree days later, just before the virtual colosseum was completed, his wife Irene went into labor.

n 1 Child, Potential Rank 5 Mythic

nThe potential of this new born child lived up to his expectations.

nWith the Origin Essence, the child reached mythic potential.

n“How are you, Irene?” Maximus asked lovingly.

n“I’m fine. How should we name this little angel?” Irene asked as she looked at the little girl in her embrace.

n“Let’s name her Cyra, meaning the authority of the moon,” Maximus thought of a name and said.

n“Little Cyra, say hi to your father,” Irene said softly to the child.

nLittle Cyra looked curiously at the big man standing in front, blocking her view of the huge, bright thingy in the sky.

nAlthough baby Cyra was just born, she already had her own thoughts.

nIt was a gift from the world to those born with mythic and above mana compatibility.

n“How are you, little Cyra?” Maximus looked at the little one as he gently pinched her cheeks.

n“Mm, mm, mm,” Little Cyra looked at the big man trying to swat his hands away.

n“Oh? You don’t want Daddy?” Maximus noticed that little Cyra seemed a bit annoyed based on her eye expression.

nThis somehow shocked him. Although he could understand children being advanced for their age, he was still somewhat shocked that a newborn baby could express her emotions.

n“Hm, mm, mm.” Seeing that the big man was still in her view, Little Cyra grunted, hoping to remind him to stay away.

n“Alright, I will visit you later,” Maximus said, seeing that the little one was still annoyed.

nHe gave them both a kiss and allowed them to rest.

nOnce the big man was gone, little Cyra turned her gaze towards the beautiful object shining in the sky—the moon.
