A few months later, in the Etherium Realm:
The treasure and creatures Maximus bought from the Void Auction were secretly delivered.
As Maximus looked at the Shadow Elder slowly erging before him, he couldn't help but feel the pressure.
This was a genuine Tier 11 being.
Although the Shadow Elder only had a glimpse over the River of Shadows, their sheer strength could crush anyone below them.
If not for the temporary control seal provided by the Void Auction, this monster could have ravaged the Etherium Realm into pieces.
"Co here," Maximus ordered.
He needed to initiate the recognition ceremony quickly, or the Shadow Beast might break free from the temporary seal.
…
A few days later, Maximus successfully completed the recognition ceremony, placing the Shadow Elder within his own shadow.
"Now it's safe..." Maximus thought with a smile.
With such a powerful bodyguard, Maximus felt he could go anywhere.
Looking at the other items he had bought, he quickly arranged them.
The farm animals and plant fairies were placed in the private garden behind the castle, and so in the World Tree.
Those with unique talents and skills were given to Liam to manage.
The thousands of tier 9 ultimate treasures he bought were stored in his storage space.
Finally, holding the Void Heart Core, Maximus called Etheria.
"Host," Etheria greeted.
"You should know what to do with this," Maximus said, tossing her the treasure.
"This—" Etheria's expression changed as she examined the Void Heart Core, lost in deep thought.
Conjuring a thread made of dinsional rules, she rged the two and created a crystal necklace.
"Host!" Etheria exclaid, presenting the necklace with both hands.
"What do you want to do? Wear it?" Maximus asked, doubtful.
Etheria shook her head and looked at him eagerly.
"You want to put it on you?"
Etheria quickly nodded, leaving Maximus speechless.
"You're a dinsional will, and you want to pamper you?" Maximus thought, feeling weirded out.
Seeing her expectant look, Maximus carefully put the necklace on Etheria with complicated feelings.
Soon, the Etherium Realm began to change.
The sky lit up, congealing and solidifying as the mana began to climb.
The power of law and essence of law began to branch out, condensing thousands and thousands of new laws.
The faint origin of law also started to solidify, opening paths toward the 10th Realm.
Feeling the changes in the Etherium Realm, Maximus couldn't help but be shocked.
A Void Heart Core could simulate the environnt of a dinsion based on its rank.
A Tier 10 Void Heart Core could essentially simulate a Tier 10 dinsional environnt.
Just when he was excited about spending only a few hundred million Origin Coins to achieve such a feat, he suddenly noticed the origin fragnts he had stored in the core of the Etherium Realm being depleted.
"I knew it!"
Things that seem too good to be true always have downsides and massive costs.
A dinsional treasure that could improve a dinsion out of thin air is, without a doubt, sothing only out of a miracle.
Taking out the Seal of Truth, Maximus quickly deduced how many origin fragnts he would have to spend.
"1.3 billion..." Maximus calculated, feeling lost.
Because the Etherium Realm was on the verge of advancent, it only cost him over a billion to simulate the Tier 10 dinsional environnt in advance.
Furthermore, besides the 1.3 billion origin fragnts expense, after fully congealing the Tier 10 dinsional environnt, it would cost another 1 million origin fragnts every year to maintain.
"This is burning money!" Maximus thought, reluctant to spend such an amount.
However, feeling the changes in the Etherium Realm, Maximus compromised, not wanting to stop such change.
In just these few minutes of energy surge, he sensed multiple auras on the verge of breaking through to the Tier 9 realm.
Since his wives and children advanced to Tier 9 Apex Sovereign, no other being in the Etherium Realm had advanced to Tier 9 Apex Sovereign in over a thousand years.
The Etherium Realm's laws were already saturated; squeezing the remaining laws to advance was harder than ever.
Now, with the laws branching out into over ten thousand laws, the space one could occupy multiplied over ten tis.
Soon, the commotion caused by the activation of the Void Heart Core woke everyone in the Etherium Realm.
Knowing it was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, they quickly stopped whatever they were doing and absorbed the excess energy from the surge.
Even Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius, who had been testing their strength in the virtual realm, ca out and felt the changes in the world.
Without even asking, the three knew who the instigator of this change was.
Feeling the origin of law condense before their eyes, they felt unprecedented relaxation in their bodies.
Although advancing to Tier 10 made them stronger, without the support of the Etherium Realm, they were like rootless duckweed.
It was like having a gun but no bullets.
As the Etherium Realm simulated the environnt of a Tier 10 dinsion, they could feel their power flowing more freely and intuitively.
Sensing the changes, Maximus calculated that it would take about a hundred years before the Etherium Realm could fully simulate a Tier 10 dinsional environnt.
Absorbing over a billion origin fragnts wasn't easy.
Having nothing to do, Maximus left Etheria and returned to his wives.
Maximus was about to leave the Etherium Realm and visit his children's sect's dinsion.
He estimated his journey would take ten to fifteen years.
Not wanting his wives to worry, Maximus said his goodbyes.
"You don't need to worry about us; it's important that you visit those children of ours. It's been a hundred years, and they haven't even sent us ssages!"
As old mothers, they worried about their children and grandchildren day and night.
Not hearing from them for over a hundred years put pressure on their hearts.
Although Maximus said they were safe and sound, without real-ti confirmation, it wasn't enough to calm them down.
"Don't worry, I'll give them a scolding for you! How dare they forget their parents!" Maximus said forcefully, comforting his wives.
Maximus also wanted to take his wives with him, but unfortunately, those top sect dinsions weren't just places anyone could visit.
Unless one was part of the sect or had a special identity, one couldn't enter their territory.
When Maximus completed 161,803 floors in the virtual tower, he was given a special identity: A Primordial Candidate of Aeon Plane.
The benefits that ca with such an identity were enormous.
First was the allowance. At Tier 9 realm, Maximus was given 1 million Origin Coins yearly for his training.
The higher his tier, the more allowance would be provided by the Dinsional Alliance.
Second was universal access to everything in the Dinsional Alliance.
Places, training facilities, secret realms, private events, exclusive competitions, etc.
As long as it was in the Dinsional Alliance, Maximus was free to go anywhere at any ti.
All fees and restrictions would be taken care of by the Dinsional Alliance.
Third was unrestricted access to knowledge and information.
Based on his realm, he could access the corresponding information within the Dinsional Alliance.
Unfortunately, it was useless; what Maximus needed was knowledge above his tier.
However, this permission was still useful—secret information across all dinsions could be freely browsed, which was a huge benefit for studying the ways of the Aeon Plane.
The fourth benefit was a guard quota.
As long as Maximus willed it, he could be assigned a Tier 11 powerhouse mastering at least the River of Law as his guard.
This was an unprecedented benefit that would make him truly rampant in the Aeon Plane.
Unfortunately, Maximus didn't want an eye watching him all the ti.
Such power beyond his control was no less than a bomb that could be detonated at any ti.
Fortunately, one of the benefits of his title was full anonymity—except for the three overlords and individuals with high authority, no one knew his identity.
Thinking of the many more benefits he gained from completing the tier 9 stage of the virtual tower, Maximus couldn't wait to beat the next stage.
Maybe he would gain authority just below the overlord after completing the Tier 10 virtual trial.
While he was lost in thought, his wives gave advice one after another, reminding him of what to do when he t their children and grandchildren.
"Don't worry. After I visit them, I'll make sure to drag them into the virtual world for you to et. Then you can spank them however you like," Maximus joked.
Hearing this, his wives cald down, excited to et their children and grandchildren.
"Go quickly, don't worry about us here; we're already getting bored of seeing you all the ti!" they joked, urging Maximus to leave quickly.
"Alright, alright..." Maximus sighed helplessly, seeing their expressions.
Giving them a final hug and kiss, Maximus instructed his Nexus Fairy, Jixie, to open a Void Portal.
"Where is the destination, Host?" Jixie asked.
"To the Immortal Palace Realm..."
