Chapter 168 Birth of Lux
Soon, Maximus, Emma, and Jane proceeded with their wedding.
Walking along the altar, they vowed to love each other until the end of times.
"I've finally married you two," Maximus smiled meaningfully.
"Is this what you planned all along?" Emma asked.
"You're indeed a shameless schemer," Jane added.
The two softly pinched Maximus in retaliation.
"But you agreed regardless, didn't you?" Maximus teased.
"It means my charisma is still effective," Maximus continued.
"You're just a shameless bastard!"
They blushed at Maximus's cheesy words.
A few months after getting to know Maximus, they had already resigned themselves to their fate.
From making them laugh to getting whatever they wanted, who could resist these traits?
Maximus was also very sweet and endearing, making them blush all the time.
It made them feel that this is what love should feel like.
"You're mine from now on, don't run,"
...
At the stand below, his wives laughed and congratulated their wedding.
His wives didn't get jealous at the grandness of the wedding.
Being with Maximus was already the greatest thing they could ever ask for.
Furthermore, a wedding is the least fun thing to do when you are with your husband.
Isabella, on the other hand, looked unnatural.
She still hadn't officially married Maximus.
Although they had taken vows and such, there was no celebration like this.
Isabella understood that this was her wish, but looking at the unique ambiance.
She thought of asking Maximus for compensation.
"Hmph, after you're born, I will drag your daddy to compensate me," Isabella thought, rubbing her belly.
...
Maximus's children, on the other hand, were wearing beautiful clothes and talking lively at the stand.
"Daddy is so handsome today," Lily said.
"I knew Mommy Emma and Mommy Jane would be our mommies from the start," Cyra proudly declared.
"So beautiful! I want to be even more beautiful when I get married," Serene said unconsciously.
"Why do you want to get married to wear beautiful clothes?" Lyla asked, puzzled.
"It's more beautiful like this," Lydia answered.
"Hmph, I will never get married; Dad is enough for me," Lyla refuted.
On the other hand, the three pairs flirted in their own way.
"Amara~"
"What?"
"Amara~"
"What?"
"Amara~"
"What?!" Amara was a little annoyed with Liam constantly calling her name without saying anything.
"Nothing, I just like to hear the sound of your name," Liam smiled.
"Tsk, stop being cringy," Amara blushed.
"Don't you like me calling your name?" Liam still smiled and held her hand.
"I like it~," Amara said inaudibly.
"What?"
"Nothing~"
Looking at Liam and Amara flirting with each other, Ella got bored and poked Max forcefully.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm bored, entertain me~"
"What can I do?"
"I don't know."
"Then you should behave yourself; I don't know how to entertain you either," Max exclaimed.
"What an insensitive idiot~" Ella rolled her eyes and pinched Max forcefully.
"Hiss~"
"What's wrong again?!"
"I just wanted to pinch you," Ella smiled happily.
"Fine," Max gritted his teeth and endured.
Max vowed to train super hard and beat Ella into submission again.
The last pair was Nathan and Zoe.
Nathan stood like a statue while Zoe talked endlessly.
"Hey, Nathan, where should we eat after?"
"Do you think I'm getting fat?"
"Nathan, what do you think of my dress this time?"
"Nathan-"
"Nathan-"
"Nathan-"
-_-
Zoe asked endless questions, not minding if Nathan answered or not.
She already knew the nature of this guy.
Unless it's absolutely necessary, he will not speak.
It was even a miracle that Nathan took the initiative to talk to her back then.
With Zoe getting along with the Shadowcrest family, she unleashed her inner self.
She longed for friends and someone to talk to.
All her life, Zoe and her father were either escaping or hiding.
Fortunately, now, after coming to the Moonlight Empire, the enemies hunting them seemed to have vanished.
"Nathan, thank you~," Zoe said all of a sudden.
"Mmm?" Nathan looked at her puzzled.
Zoe didn't answer and just smiled.
Soon the wedding proceeded, with all the people of the Moonlight Empire having a celebration for seven days straight.
...
A few days later.
After more than a month of resting and playing, Maximus was ready to train again.
Meanwhile, Emma and Jane were taking the Origin Arcana Institute trial.
After all, they were not even seekers, so there were a lot of things they couldn't do.
Even with Maximus's core student status, he couldn't do much.
"Huh~" Maximus breathed.
For now, he would not absorb tier 5 ultimate treasure yet.
Besides the lack of money, he also didn't want to miss Isabella giving birth.
"Let's start."
The Origin element is about bending all elements into an indestructible rope.
Besides that, it's stronger than the usual elements combined into one.
It's also the most time-consuming and energy-intensive path.
Following the 'Origin' energy path, he began absorbing over a billion units of the world's origin.
Soon, the mana in the surrounding area seemed to be sucked in by a black hole.
Even the most mana-intensive environment couldn't supply enough mana for Maximus's cultivation.
Fortunately, the Dimensional Source Physique came in a timely manner.
Although unlimited mana can't directly strengthen him, the uninterrupted supply of mana is enough.
As for the world's origin that should be providing energy?
It seemed to disappear, independently strengthening Maximus's control over all elements.
Soon, while the World's origin was strengthening his control over elements.
The uninterrupted mana supply tempered his physical body and soul.
From every cell and particle of his blood to every piece of his soul, it seemed as though every bit of it had come to life.
After being tempered enough, Maximus could survive even with a piece of soul and a drop of blood.
With millions of cultivation manuals, Maximus took all their pros and tried his best to integrate them into the exercise.
'Origin' is the most solid and diverse, encompassing all kinds of abilities.
It got its name 'Origin' as all kinds of abilities are integrated with it.
It was only limited by elements; otherwise, it could even copy all those unique physiques in all dimensions.
Unfortunately, Maximus couldn't train in other elements besides what was in the Etherium realm.
It seemed that other elements were nonexistent; no matter what Maximus tried, he couldn't feel them.
Even when he bought an elemental crystal or liquid of that element, it would just vanish like it had never appeared.
As long as an element that didn't belong to this world appeared, it would vanish.
...
Three months later,
After absorbing over 10 million units of the world's origin energy, Maximus opened his eyes.
"Huh~"
"Comfortable~" Maximus exclaimed.
This is not like absorbing an ultimate treasure at all.
It seems that Maximus was bathing in a spring, like a newborn baby.
"Time to help my lovely wives~"
Maximus calculated when Emma and Jane would reach the 999th step of the Celestial Ascent Path.
Just like in the past, he would also try to see if he could help them in the illusion trial.
Looking at his system for interference, he didn't see anything.
"Huh? Did they already pass the trial?" Maximus muttered in puzzlement.
Connecting Tintin to the outside world, he asked for the news.
"Emma and Jane already passed the 1,000th step; they were just waiting for the test to finish," Tintin said. n/-o-.V-)e-(l..b-)I((n
"Oh, as expected of my wives," Maximus nodded in satisfaction.
With Emma and Jane's talent passing the test is a breeze.
Furthermore, they also stayed with Maximus in the City of Arcana for a few years, which tempered their souls.
"It looks like they didn't need my help."
...
A week later, in the City of Arcana, Maximus Manor:
Maximus and the others were looking at the new addition to the "Mommy, your baby is so cute~"
"Baby, I'm your big sister Cyra."
family.
"Mommy, your baby is so cute~"
"Baby, I'm your big sister Cyra."
"Let me hug baby Lux!"
"No, baby Lux is mine!"
The boys and the girls scrambled to pamper the newly born baby.
"Hey, don't scare Lux; he's my baby~" Maximus pushed his kids aside and hugged Lux.
"Dad, you're a bully!"
"You're already so old, leave us the baby!"
"Dad, be mature for once!"
"What? You're already grown up; you don't like your father anymore~" Maximus said pitifully.
"Dad, don't be a dramatist."
"That's right, you already have us; leave us the baby!"
"No, I will hug baby Lux for a while," Maximus didn't give in.
So what if he's bullying his children? T
his is his baby, and it's his right.
Looking at the cute baby, he felt it was worth it.
Isabella, who had just given birth, smiled brightly.
Looking at the lump of flesh that had just come out of her body, her love seemed to overflow.
Kissing the baby's cheek, Maximus finally looked at his son's status.
[Lux Shadowcrest:
Potential: Rank 8 Supreme]
Lux's potential was inherited from him and supplemented by various treasures.
Unfortunately, Lux was conceived too early.
If he had been conceived when Maximus had tier 9 talent, the chance of Lux inheriting it would have been high.
"Don't worry, Lux; there's still a long time in the future," Maximus thought.
