The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

After informing them that the Tier 11 Origin Manual would be finished soon, Maximus tried using causality points to speed up its deduction progress.

[Tier 11 Origin Manual – 240,000 years]

[-1 min]

Using one causality point reduced the manual's progress time by one minute.

"One causality point is equal to one minute?"

After testing it a few more times, Maximus confirmed that one causality point could indeed decrease the time needed by one minute.

Calculating the causality points required, he couldn't help but frown.

The tier 11 origin manual needed 240,000 years to deduce, which equates to roughly 125 billion minutes, or 125 billion causality points.

Maximus could condense about a million origin fragments every second, which he would then refine into strands of causality.

In total, Maximus could accumulate around one hundred thousand causality points per day.

"It seems I need to deduce the Origin Crystal Ether Forge and Ether Refiner first…"

[Origin Crystal Ether Forge: 15 years

Origin Crystal Ether Refiner: 50 years]

Since he had already created many versions of the Ether Forge, creating a specialized one for origin fragments wouldn't take long.

As for the refinery that could convert origin fragments into strands of causality, it would take longer.

65 years translates to 33 million minutes, or 33 million causality points.

"This is feasible!"

With 1.5 billion causality points, Maximus quickly worked on completing the deduction for the two devices.

Unfortunately, after investing 30 million causality points, no matter how many more he added, there was no further progress.

"Hmm, there's a limit?"

Sensing the River of Knowledge in a state of fullness, he had to stop.

This shortcut seemed to have its boundaries.

From his observations, 30 million strands of causality appeared to be the daily limit the River of Knowledge could digest.

Any additional input would dissipate, wasting precious energy.

"It's enough…" Maximus sighed in disappointment.

If he could add points without limit, he could create anything he wanted instantly.

Although he currently had no strands of causality, given his unique physique, he could acquire as many as he needed.

With nothing more to do, he returned to join his family at the feast.

…

The next day, after adding the final 3 million causality points, the Origin Crystal Ether Forge and Refiner were fully deduced.

Accessing the system's knowledge, he felt the information flow smoothly and quickly digested by his mind.

Looking at the blueprint, his lips couldn't help but twitch.

"This is too expensive!" Maximus muttered in frustration.

An Origin Crystal Ether Forge costs around 25 billion origin coins just for materials, with each device capable of condensing a million origin fragments every second.

On the other hand, the Origin Crystal Ether Refiner had an astronomical price of a trillion origin coins, capable of refining up to 10 strands of causality per day.

To maximize the River of Knowledge's capacity, he would need 300 million Ether Forges and 3 million Ether Refiners, totaling over 10 quintillion origin coins.

"Damn!" Maximus couldn't help but curse at the daunting cost.

10 quintillion! Even the top families didn't have such reserves of origin fragments.

Working day and night, it would take him millions of epochs to condense such an amount.

Unfortunately, for the sake of the future, Maximus gritted his teeth and tried to ignore the cost.

This was a one-time purchase; once acquired, these devices would generate indefinite returns.

Besides, as he created more of them, he'd earn enough to buy more and more materials.

He even deduced that the materials hoarded by the Dimensional Alliance wouldn't be sufficient, requiring him to mine additional resources himself.

However, lacking the time and manpower for mining, Maximus preferred to sit back and let the machines "print" money.

Furthermore, as he grew stronger, these ether devices could produce money faster and more efficiently.

Currently, his body could release energy equivalent to one million origin fragments per second, while the River of Knowledge could only allow each device to refine ten strands of causality daily.

In the future, as his strength grew, he'd simply need to upgrade these Ether devices for even greater profits.

Taking a deep breath, Maximus calmed his nerves.

Although access to unlimited energy was advantageous, it also demanded more work.

Preparing to return to the Etherium Realm, Maximus and his family quickly packed up.

They didn't need to take everything, as they'd return here to work further with the River of Knowledge and their Streams of Law.

A few days later, they boarded Shadow.

Although others had dimensional ships of their own, none matched the capabilities of Shadow.

Once out of range of the River of Knowledge, the Shadow performed a void leap straight to the Etherium Realm.

…

"Hmm… Is this the Etherium Realm?"

Looking out the window, they immediately noticed the differences in the Etherium Realm.

Not only was it thousands of times larger, but the pressure it radiated also reached Tier 11 Dimension.

"A Tier 11 Dimension!"

In just over 30,000 years, the Etherium Realm had advanced to a Tier 11 Dimension.

"How is this possible?" Lance asked in disbelief.

Earlier, he had argued with his father, dismissing his claims about the Etherium Realm's rapid progress.

Now, seeing it before him, he felt as if he was witnessing a miracle.

"It seems my hunch was correct." Liam smiled, patting Lance smugly as if to remind him, 'Your father is still your father, no matter how talented or successful you are.'

"How did you guess it, Father?" Lance asked reluctantly.

"It has something to do with your grandfather," Liam murmured, glancing at his father, Maximus.

Reflecting on this, Maximus nodded. "It's the Origin Fragments."

Before leaving the Etherium Realm, he had deposited a quadrillion origin fragments at the core of the Etherium Realm.

Over 30,000 years, it seemed to have absorbed more than 300 trillion of these fragments.

Coupled with its victory in the dimensional war, it was only natural for the Etherium Realm to advance.

Hearing his explanation, everyone on board was enlightened.

Given the immense wealth their father possessed, it would be surprising if the Etherium Realm hadn't advanced.

While they admired the view of the Etherium Realm, Etheria suddenly felt a tugging sensation in her core.

"Master, I—"

"Go, you can join us later," Maximus said with understanding.

With his permission, Etheria left the ship and merged with the Etherium Realm.

Upon merging with a Tier 11 Dimension, Etheria's power began to advance.

Unlike others, Etheria couldn't progress by absorbing free energy from the void.

Consequently, despite the passage of tens of thousands of years, her realm hadn't advanced an inch.

In just a few hours, Etheria went from entry-level to the peak of the tier 10 realm.

However, just as she was about to break through to Tier 11, she forcefully stopped her progress, storing the feedback energy temporarily within the dimension.

"It's not the time yet…" Etheria murmured.

She hadn't yet received the Tier 11 Origin Manual from Maximus, and advancing prematurely would cut off her future potential.

As Etheria stabilized the Etherium Realm after the sudden halt, she noticed her Stream of Dimensionality suddenly manifested around her, encircling the Etherium Realm.

"Hmm?"

As she pondered this, a stream of information appeared in her mind.

Unlike other laws, her Stream of Dimensionality didn't need to be nurtured by her alone.

Instinctively sensing it was beneficial, she wrapped her Stream of Dimensionality around the Etherium Realm, treating it as another clone of herself.

Nourished by the Etherium Realm, her Stream of Dimensionality began to proliferate, doubling in size within a few months.

Estimating its growth, Etheria guessed that in a few hundreds of years, her dimensional stream would reach the river level.

Once stable, Etheria turned her attention to Maximus.

Her beloved master—the one who had given her freedom and emotions of her own.

"Master~" Etheria greeted.

"You're here! It seems the benefits of the Etherium Realm aren't small," Maximus observed.

"It's all thanks to your investment, Master."

Without the hundreds of trillions of origin fragments he had invested, Etheria wouldn't have advanced even in billions of years.

"Don't say that; we're family. Isn't it only natural for me to give you everything you need?" Maximus replied, patting her head.

"Hm," Etheria murmured, a blush coloring her cheeks as she felt warmth in her heart.

"Alright, let's go. We were just waiting for you."

A few months earlier, his children had already gone to explore the Etherium Realm.

Although they could observe everything with a sweep of their consciousness, experiencing it in person was more enjoyable.

As the saying goes, it's better to experience things firsthand than just to know of them.

With Etheria arriving, Maximus planned a relaxing tour with his wives.

He even refrained from using his dimensional authority to give himself a surprise.

Wanting to see the Etherium Realm's improvements from a fresh perspective, Maximus couldn't help but feel excited.

He wondered what kind of progress tens of thousands of years had brought to the rising Etherium Realm.

"Let's go and see…"
