Chapter 360 A Thousand Years

Chapter 360 A Thousand Years

A Thousand Years Later...

In the Imperial Castle, in the old and ancient corridor, a chubby little girl was walking around curiously.

"Huh? Where am I?" The little girl muttered.

The castle was too big that she got lost finding the kitchen.

Suddenly, an ancient door attracted her attention, making her forgot she was hungry.

"Could it be a treasure house hidden by father and uncle?"

With excitement on her face, she hurriedly opened the ancient door.

To her surprise, even with tier 3 strength, she couldn't budge the door.

"Does this door have a password?" placing her finger on her lips, she thought of a solution.

"Could I just destroy this door!" she muttered, her eyes lighting up.

Taking out a tier 7 attack jade, she threw it at the door while activating her protective treasure.

Boom!

As the smoke subsided, she saw the door was not even scratched.

"How?!"

"Right! How could the castle of my Shadowcrest easily be destroyed?" The little girl muttered.

"How about this..." With excitement, she took out a tier 9 attack jade.

Moving further away and setting up a protection array, she began to attack the door.

Boom!

The little girl thought she would be greeted by destruction, but what greeted her was still the same ancient door, even the corridor was only filled with some rubbles.

"Impossible!"

"Is this door made of tier 10 material?"

With doubt and excitement, she took out a bunch of items and attacked it continuously.

Attack after attack,yet the ancient door stood strong without receiving a scratch.

"Huff"

"Huff"

"Just what is hidden behind this door..."

Tired and exhausted, the little girl sat down.

Unknowingly, while resting, the little girl fell asleep.

...

Inside the ancient room was luxurious decoration with high-tier arrays, rich mana, and laws.

Yet this room had been unoccupied for a thousand years.

Suddenly, a void silently tore open, condensing a man.

Looking around, the man was in a daze, analyzing where he was.

Retrieving his memory, he saw the inconspicuous life of a man named Maximus Shadowcrest.

"So I'm Maximus Shadowcrest?" The man said in an emotionless tone.

Over 30 trillion epochs worth of memories were like a sea, drowning such a memory like a drop of water.

If not for the protective layer, he would even have a hard time finding such memories.

Even though he knew who he was, no emotion flashed past his eyes.

In his trillions of epochs of memory, the life of Maximus Shadowcrest was insignificant.

Sagas and bibliographies, ranging from millions to billions of years, were much more magnificent than it is.

Reviewing the memory of this man called Maximus Shadowcrest, he rank it as a mediocre life.

Besides the powerful system and ultimate physique, there is nothing noteworthy about it.

"Now what do I do?" The man muttered.

He exited seclusion because his 'origin' was in chaos.

It seemed to be telling him to get out and meet his so-called 'family'.

But family? What a redundant word.

If not for the irritability preventing him to continue digesting knowledge, he wouldn't even entertain this thought.

"Just meet this so-called family? Whatever..."

Opening the door, he saw a little girl sleeping in the corridor.

Feeling his bloodline flowing through the girl, he stopped.

However, as she tasted the food, Maxine's eyes widened.

"This... This is delicious and sweet~"

"Now let's go." Seeing the girl calm down, Maximus quickly dragged her to finish the task.

He doubted that if he didn't take this girl shopping, she would continue to sulk, disturbing his 'origin'.

...

In Moonshadow City,

Maximus and Maxine were seen running around, holding food.

"Grandpa! Here, here, I'll take you to the food I like!"

After buying more food, Maximus looked at Maxine speechlessly.

"Is this not enough?"

They had been eating and walking for the past few hours, yet this little girl didn't seem to have enough.

He may not be full, but he was tired.

If not for scanning this little girl's physique, Maximus would have even thought she was a little monster in disguise.

[Maxine Shadowcrest:

Age: 4

Physique: Dimensional Food Devourer

Strength: tier 3]

"Is Grandpa impatient?" Maxine asked, tearing up.

She had realized that her grandpa was a little tsundere.

He was cold on the outside but hot on the inside.

Her grandfather looked at her like she was the most troublesome kid he wanted to quickly discard.

Yet as long as he saw pitiful eyes, he would pick even the stars to satisfy her.

With no other choice, Maximus continued to take Maxine around.

Suddenly, while they were walking toward a stall, they saw a man stop them.

"Uncle Liam?!" Maxine muttered excitedly, quickly recognizing Liam.

Hearing Maxine, Maximus quickly retrieved the memory about Liam.

"Liam?"

Seeing the majestic man in front of him, brimming with power.

He really couldn't connect the child in his memories.

"Father..." Liam muttered coldly, with some emotion.

Liam thought their father would only be in seclusion for a few years.

Yet ten years, a hundred years, now a thousand years had passed.

Looking at the man who raised them up, Liam couldn't help but be emotional.

"Perfect, take this little thing, I have to go," Maximus said coldly, like finding the perfect tool man.

"Huh?" Liam was a little stunned hearing his father.

"Don't you want to meet others?"

It's been a thousand years; Liam didn't know how many tears his mothers and sister shed missing their father.

Now looking at his father's emotionless and cold eyes, Liam felt suffocated.

"It looks like Father has gone senile," Liam said forcefully.

Although he couldn't feel his father's energy, he should still be tier 8.

Hundreds of years ago, with the help of his wives, Liam already reached tier 9.

Seeing his father was still tier 8, despite leaving them for a thousand years, Liam couldn't help but mock.

However, Maximus didn't feel anger or anything.

Seeing that Maxine didn't cry after being with Liam, he was ready to leave.

He couldn't wait to explore the sea of knowledge, this charades had been long enough.

Seeing that his father ignored him, leaving her with little Maxine, Liam grew angry.

Controlling the empire's array, Liam teleported him and his father to an isolated land.

"Hmph! I'll let you know that a son is always better than a father!" Liam murmured.

Meanwhile, looking at her uncle and grandfather disappearing, Maxine was speechless.

"Tsk, no more fun~" Maxine pouted.
