"Hahaha, what you said is really to my taste!" Marcus laughed heartily.
"That's right! Who's to judge if soone is evil or not? In this world, only strength matters. If you are weaker, you are deed evil, while the stronger one is righteous!"
"We rely seek order, and your junior here seems to be the harbinger of chaos,"
"This only proves that he is strong! Being the harbinger of chaos is a badge of honor for the powerful!" Marcus countered with a smirk.
"It seems so…"
With Marcus backing him, the Seven Absolutes had nothing to refute.
This world was indeed ruled by strength.
The Seven Absolutes had the authority to judge, to set the rules and boundaries of righteousness and evil solely because they were stronger.
Looking at Marcus, the Seven Absolutes found themselves at a loss for words.
This man was the one who truly embodied chaos.
If not for the looming threat of the Dark Disaster diverting most of his attention, perhaps Marcus would have been the one to turn the Aeon Plane upside down.
With Marcus standing firm to protect Maximus, the Absolutes no longer had the grounds to scold or reprimand him.
Taking one last look at the scene, they quickly departed.
As peace and quiet returned, the weight in Maximus's chest lifted.
"It's finally over…"
Although he had orchestrated everything, the pressure he bore throughout the ordeal was imnse.
Turning toward his allies, Maximus expressed his earnest gratitude, especially to Marcus.
Maximus had not expected the masters of the Ocean of Law to be so stubborn.
Even after losing half their number, they had refused to back down.
Had Marcus not appeared, the Overlord of the Dinsional Alliance might not have intervened.
At that point, Maximus would have no choice but to flee, abandoning everything he had built.
"Once the Etherium Realm is sorted out, I promise to repay this favor," Maximus said solemnly.
Negotiating with them was impossible at this mont.
If Maximus attempted it prematurely, the Etherium Realm would beco a glaring weakness.
Instead of peaceful negotiations, he might face threats and exploitation from every direction.
Even after his show of strength, with the massive stakes involved, he couldn't count on his allies. So might turn their backs on him, waiting to see him fall.
Thus, before he entered negotiations, Maximus needed to eliminate all vulnerabilities.
Everything needed to on the Etherium Realm and the completion of the Tier 12 Dinsional Array.
"Then we'll look forward to it," They smiled in excitent.
During this ti, they had begun to uncover hints about what had drawn such powerful forces against Maximus.
Though they hadn't confird their suspicions, hearing Maximus's solemn promise stirred an undeniable excitent in their eyes.
With their tasks complete and a promise secured in exchange for their favor, they departed, returning to their respective sects and families.
Alone in the vast void, Maximus gazed toward the Etherium Realm.
Untouched by war, it remained as pristine as ever.
"It's ti to work…"
---
After over ten thousand years of dinsional war, the Etherium Realm returned to peace once again.
The production of Ether Devices, the Etherium Realm renovation, and the Tier 12 Dinsional Array construction resud.
The only difference this ti was that Maximus no longer dared to hire people from the top sects and families outside of his allies.
Fortunately, through the war, the reputation of the Shadowcrest Family, the Order of Maxim, and the Etherium Realm reached an all-ti high.
This war also formally established the Shadowcrest Family as one of the top families in the Aeon Plane.
With the 13th family making it into the top ranks of the Dinsional Alliance, an uproar spread throughout the plane.
This achievent was even more remarkable than Maximus being nad the Supre Primordial Candidate or becoming the first Tier 10 individual to break through the River of Law naturally.
The position of the top forces in the Dinsional Alliance had long been consolidated.
Strength, heritage, and reputation—all were essential to being recognized as one of the elite.
Maximus not only had to be strong himself but needed his family mbers to demonstrate their worth.
Fortunately, his wives, children, grandchildren, and even his in-laws showed their fangs during the war.
Defeating multiple Tier 11 masters of the River of Law while still in the Tier 10 realm, their potential alone hailed them as future Ocean-level powerhouses.
With the Shadowcrest Family reaching the pinnacle, various businesses, cooperative ventures, and marriage alliances flocked to them.
Unfortunately, all of Maximus's sons already had wives and were unwilling to take more.
Thus, the suitors turned their attention toward Maximus's grandsons, proposing marriage alliances.
To this, Maximus remained laissez-faire, leaving it up to his grandchildren to decide if they wished to pursue relationships.
Compared to his sons, Maximus didn't impose many demands on them.
However, when it ca to his daughters and granddaughters, Maximus's dark expression often erged whenever soone dared to propose directly to him.
Because of this, he earned the secret title of "Dark-Faced Father."
Amidst the Shadowcrest Family's rise, the Order of Maxim wasn't left behind.
Although it hadn't ascended to the ranks of the top sects, the power it demonstrated during the war proved that the Path of Knowledge was no weaker than other paths in terms of combat.
Proving their imnse potential, the Order of Maxim attracted more and more mbers eager to walk the sa path.
Upon joining the sect, many were surprised by the sheer volu of work required.
With such endless tasks, how will they have ti to comprehend and progress along the Path of Knowledge?
However, upon receiving strands of causality as compensation for their efforts, their complaints quickly vanished.
Are they kidding? With such rewards, they wished they could work forever.
The direct experiences provided by the strands of causality far surpassed what they could achieve through ordinary comprehension.
At the sa ti, they ca to understand why the Path of Knowledge was just as formidable as other paths in combat.
With the Pioneer of Knowledge blazing a trail before them, they felt like nouveau riche patrons taking leisurely walks along the Path of Knowledge.
All obstacles and dangers beca re scenery, easily overco with the power of causality.
With everything proceeding in an orderly manner, Maximus began preparing for the coming negotiations that would later lay the foundation and establish the rules for future powerhouses to advance…
