The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

A few years later, in the Tower of Knowledge, Maximus excitedly examined the Tier 11 Origin Manual.

After over ten years and 110 billion strands of causality, the next chapter of the Origin Manual was finally deduced.

"The Path to Omniscience…"

If Chapters 1 to 10 of the Origin Manual had laid the perfect foundation, then this next chapter carved the way to Omniscience.

To achieve such a state, one needed both knowledge and power.

He already had the River of Knowledge.

In time, when it reached the absolute of law, all information he may need and would ever need would be at his fingertips.

But this was barely enough.

To do everything he could imagine, a corresponding power was needed.

This is where the Tier 11 Origin Manual, deduced based on his insights, came into play.

The power to swallow, analyze, and internalize the other paths of law!

"It's really possible!"

Although each path led to the same destination, an individual could only walk along one.

Knowing this, Maximus thought, why couldn't he just copy the paths laid by others and make the one he walked reach the pinnacle?

If other paths had trains, ships, and other ways to efficiently transfer and manipulate energy, then he'd build one.

If other paths were greener and more conducive to attracting other seekers, then he'd make his path more exquisite.

If other paths were wider and had more potential, then he'd dredge his own.

Copying and assimilating was the ultimate ability of his Origin Manual, the path to the source of all things.

After fully comprehending the manual, the smile on his face faded slightly.

"This is another cost-devouring beast…" Maximus couldn't help but sigh.

To internalize other paths within his own, he would need to obtain samples, analyze them, and assimilate them.

Getting a sample was easy; with his strength and ability, there was no place in the Aeon Plane he couldn't go.

The problem was analyzing and assimilating them.

To analyze a River of Law would require at least a million years, and analyzing an Ocean of Law would take at least a billion.

Even with the boost from strands of causality, it would take him over ten thousand years to analyze a River of Law—much less an Ocean.

During this period, he would need over 150 trillion strands of causality to even get started.

Then came the assimilation. Depending on the compatibility of the path and the potential it held, he would need at least 300 trillion strands of causality to assimilate it.

Opening his panel, he looked at his meager strands of causality.

[Host: Maximus Shadowcrest

Physique: Dimensional Source (Rank 12: 3.9 trillion / 100 quintillion)

Causality Points: 876 billion

Causality Points (Corrupted): 8.6 trillion]

"So, this is why no one has taken this path…"

Maximus had never thought he was unique and the only one to have envisioned such an idea.

Even without the River of Knowledge, there were many ways to assimilate other paths.

Yet, no one had done it or succeeded so far.

Looking at the energy and work it needed, it was simply because it was impossible within the current Aeon Plane.

To assimilate all paths of law, even if the Aeon Plane bled dry, it would never be enough.

But Maximus was an exception.

Even if he couldn't do it at the Tier 11 realm, he would surely do it at the Tier 12 realm.

With his ultimate cultivation manual breaking all limits, surpassing the Aeon Plane was only a matter of time.

However, when he thought of the sheer amount of strands of causality he needed, he felt a twinge of complexity.

A few years ago, Maximus had already hired all seekers of knowledge who had at least 10 percent mastery of a stream of knowledge.

Altogether, there were only a little over 50,000 of them.

Most who had treaded the path of knowledge had either already perished in battle or switched to another path.

With over 50,000 workers of varying quality, they managed to produce around 30,000 Ether Refiners in just five years.

Besides the materials, this cost him over 30 billion strands of causality.

Fortunately, he had Akuji, his diligent worker, producing 5 billion strands of causality every year.

Otherwise, he would have had to take causality points out of his reserves, which would have been counterproductive.

Now, with over 30,000 Ether Refiners, he could gain 300,000 strands of causality per day or about 100 million strands per year!

In just a few decades, his ether devices would surpass what Akuji could produce.

After a few centuries, his income and expenses would finally balance out, allowing him to begin assimilating a path of law.

Turning to the seekers of knowledge he had personally trained, Maximus couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

His plans for them had evolved—from mere workers to loyal subordinates.

The Shadowcrest family couldn't expand on its own; it needed its own talent to stand against the world.

These individuals were perfect for his needs.

Afterward, checking in on his two stubborn sons to see if they had made progress in their relationships, he shook his head, as usual.

These brats truly didn't know how to coax a girl.

Especially Sam; he was simply a powder keg, exploding at every little things.

As for Luke, he was a blockhead with no thoughts beyond his machines.

Thinking of ways to teach them a lesson, Maximus began to make plans for things he could do while waiting for his family to absorb the ultimate treasures and consolidate their foundations.

[Knowledge Creation:

- Etherium Realm Reinforcement: 24,900 years

- Rune of Maxim Security Measure: 949,990 years

- Seal of Truth Merging Analysis: 1.9 million years

- Amalgamation of Will Advancement Path: 6.9 million years

- System Creation Technology: 10.25 million years

- World Tree Advancement Path: 79.9 million years

- Dimensional Merging Analysis: 107.9 million years]

"Reinforce the Etherium Realm first…" Maximus decided.

As his home ground, keeping the Etherium Realm secure was his top priority.

Furthermore, he increasingly felt a sense of gloom surrounding the Aeon Plane.

Before the dark forces invaded, a major reshuffling was destined to happen.

Preparing for the worst, Maximus couldn't help but become more solemn.
