The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Meanwhile, in the overlapping space within the void, the Overlord of Time and Space suddenly noticed one of the strings he had laid out had been severed.

"Someone erased my seal?"

The Time-Space Bureau was an absolutely neutral force in the Aeon Plane.

Whether it was the Dimensional Alliance or the Devourers, they could cooperate or kill anyone as long as it served the interests of the Aeon Plane.

The "System," a special treasure Frir created, was one of the primary pieces he used to maintain balance in the Aeon Plane.

Noticing one of his seals was erased, Frir's expression turned solemn.

"Could it be the dark force?"

However, after mobilizing his power, he detected no trace of dark energy within the Aeon Plane.

"A powerhouse? Interesting~"

Since it wasn't the dark force, it could only mean a powerhouse had discovered one of his toys and erased his seal.

"But who could it be?"

Given the countless Tier 12 treasures he had systemized, Frir couldn't guess who might have broken his seal.

It never even crossed his mind that it was Maximus, the supreme primordial candidate they had just discussed years ago.

Because the Family and Power System was a failed treasure, it wasn't on his watchlist like the Seven Ultimate Systemized Treasures he created.

As for the Virtual Overlord, Elvian informing him of Maximus's possession of one of his systemized treasures, it was far-fetched.

Although the virtual realm could simulate nearly everything, even the most secretive skills and treasures, Elvian prohibited himself from looking into it unless necessary.

Secrecy and privacy were the core principles of the virtual realm.

If Elvian wanted it to become a platform for all sentient beings, he needed to establish some rules.

Otherwise, chaos would erupt even before the dark forces appeared.

As for various leaks, it was just some loophole he left for the interest of the Dimensional Alliance.

All in all, the Virtual Realm was a stable platform where even the devourer could trade and relax.

Finding nothing worthy of his attention, Frir returned to his work.

A mere Tier 12 systemized treasure wasn't worth his time.

Frir was merely interested in the one who had broken his seal, hoping to recruit such a talent.

Perhaps they could even aid in the creation of other systemized treasures.

…

In the Source of Knowledge, after removing the system seal and fully mastering it, Maximus quickly began to merge it with the River of Knowledge.

Combining the two, Maximus entered the omniscient mode, integrating the system and the River of Knowledge in the most optimal way.

Using the system as the main control center, he wrapped the River of Knowledge around it, transforming it into a storage and calculation cloud wave of his massive masterpiece.

…

A thousand years later, in the Source of Knowledge, a crystal quietly condensed, forming the Core of Knowledge.

This crystallization of knowledge contained all the power and abilities of a Master of River of Law.

Successfully condensing the Core of Knowledge, Maximus embedded it into the core of his origin.

"Huh~"

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he opened his system panel.

[Family and Power System:

Host: Maximus Shadowcrest

Physique: Dimensional Source (Rank 12: 0/100 quintillion)

River of Knowledge Transformation: 90%

Innate Skills: Enhanced Comprehension, Omniscient Search, Omniscient Simulation, Knowledge Creation, True Mastery, Immortal Mind

Causality Points: 1.5 billion

Causality Points (Corrupted): 12.5 trillion]

"No change…"

Although the system and the River of Knowledge were merged, there was no apparent change.

However, deep inside, the fusion of the two created an underlying potential waiting to be dug out.

With the system's addition, the River of Knowledge opened to infinite possibilities.

Instead of being bound to a singular law, it could now incorporate various treasures, materials, and even other Rivers of Law.

This meant the River of Knowledge could now be modularized according to his will.

Containing his excitement, Maximus decided to end his seclusion.

Upon exiting, he noticed all his family members were still in the process of solidifying their streams of law.

Like a surging river, their little streams resembled thatch boats sailing against the current.

To ride the wave of advancement from the River of Knowledge, they had to concentrate and nurture their streams of law continually.

"Let me help you…"

Inputting an order through the system, the raging current around them calmed as massive energy began nurturing their streams of law.

"Not bad."

Maximus simply needed to input a command, and the system would execute it indefinitely.

Before, he had to control the River of Knowledge manually, putting in conscious effort at all times.

This feature alone allowed him to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.

Although entering an omniscient state could achieve the same, Maximus lacked the drive to work that intensely.

Feeling the changes in their streams of law, each of them opened their eyes, looking confused.

"What happened?"

Noticing their streams of law growing automatically, they were shocked.

Suddenly hearing a call from Maximus, they quickly understood the cause and effect.

As the master of the River of Knowledge, nurturing their streams of law was a simple task for him.

Leaving their rooms, they greeted him with smiles, asking various questions about his insights into the River of Knowledge.

"Let's put cultivation aside. How about we celebrate first?" Maximus suggested.

Hearing this, they couldn't be more happier, quickly arranging everything for the banquet.

With his help, they no longer had to nurture their streams of law and could focus on cultivating their skills and experiencing the world.

Although cultivation was another kind of joy, doing it for tens of thousands of years was torturous.

They couldn't understand how those powerhouses could train for hundreds or thousands of epochs at a time.

Were they still alive or just a floating blob of consciousness?

Having a blast at the banquet, they couldn't help but ask when they would return to the Etherium Realm.

"We can return at any time now. You're already masters of the streams of law, so what are we still doing here?"

"Really, we can return!?" Lyla muttered in shock.

The other also bloomed into a smile, reminiscing their time in Etherium Realm.

Thinking of every grass and trees, the landmarks they grew to, the people they met, and the memories they made, they couldn't wait to return immediately.

"I wonder what the current state of the Etherium Realm is."

"Don't worry, Father. With the foundation we laid down, the Etherium Realm could last thousands of epochs, much less tens of thousands of years," Lance reassured him.

"No, I was just wondering if the Etherium Realm had advanced to a Tier 11 dimension."

"Impossible! Unless the Etherium Realm conducted a war every thousand years, it would be impossible."

A dimensional war had a cooldown of 1,000 years, plus the process of war itself; it would take at least 3,000 years to swallow a single dimension.

"Who knows~"

Hearing their conversation, Etheria just smiled.

Although she was away from the Etherium Realm, as a dimensional will, she could still roughly sense what was happening there.

She wondered how shocked they would be when they returned.

"Father, what about the Tier 11 Origin Manual? When will it be finished?" Max asked casually.

They were already at the peak of the Tier 10 realm.

The only thing left was the origin manual needed to condense their divine position.

Unlike Tiers 1-10, where they could change manuals as they wished, Tier 11 was a threshold.

There would be no going back once they condensed their divine position.

The Divine Position serves as a core, a container for the River of Law.

The stronger, more solid, and higher quality it is, the easier it would be for them to nurture their river into an ocean.

In the future, it could even serve as their foundation to reach the Overlord Realm.

Not wanting to settle for less, they waited for the Tier 11 Origin Manual.

Meanwhile, hearing his question, Maximus looked at his Creation Panel.

[Knowledge Creation:

- Origin Crystal Ether Forge: 15 years

- Origin Crystal Ether Refiner: 50 years

- Dimensional Origin Library Reconstruction: 300 years

- River of Knowledge Advancement Analysis: 1,025 years

- Etherium Realm Reinforcement: 25,000 years

- Tier 11 Origin Manual: 240,000 years

- Seal of Truth Merging Analysis: 2 million years

- Amalgamation of Will Advancement Path: 7 million years

- World Tree Advancement Path: 80 million years]

The Creation Panel was derived from the innate ability of the River of Knowledge.

Instead of deducing the knowledge himself, the system would process it autonomously using the vast information within the River of Knowledge.

At maximum, the Creation Panel could handle nine tasks without any loss in speed.

Looking at the time remaining before the Tier 11 Origin Manual could be deduced, he couldn't help but frown.

Because the system lacked a mind of its own and couldn't make the most logical and forward-thinking choices, it was somewhat slow.

Instead of finding the answer through a formula, it would sift through all related answers and confirm which one was correct.

This was why Maximus eagerly wanted to merge the Seal of Truth with the system.

Merging the two would give the system its "wings"—a logical operator that could distinguish true from false.

Instead of confirming every possible answer, it could eliminate incorrect ones until only the correct answer remained.

Unfortunately, at the current rate of deduction, it would still take a few million years before that happened.

"It seems I can only use strands of causality to speed things up…"
