Chapter 370 The Chaotic Star Sea Plan
Thirty Years Later.
In a Tier 10 training room:
Maximus freely released his newfound power without holding back.
Testing his output, attack power, defense, and recovery, Maximus estimated the enhancement of his power.
"A thousandfold?" Maximus pondered.
[Maximus Shadowcrest
Tier 8: 100%
Power of Law: 100%
Essence of law: 1,118(proficient)
Amalgamation of Will: 2.67%
System Points: 13 Septillion Points]
As he observed his progress, a smile appeared on his lips.
After over thirty years, he finally advanced to peak tier 8.
Now, the only missing element to advance to Tier 9 was to unify the Amalgamation of Will and more importantly, the ninth chapter of 'Origin.'
To unify the Amalgamation of Will, the chaotic will of the people, Maximus needed to personally experience their entire lifetime.
After all, how could he guide them if he hadn't personally experienced their joys and sorrows?
Although there are other ways to unify the Amalgamation of Will, this was the fastest he had found.
To personally experience the lifetime of each individual who believed in him, whether alive or had passed away, he only needed system points.
The average lifestime of an individual in his empire is about 700 years, with over a hundred quintillion plus the tens of quintillions who had already died.
Maximus only needed over a hundred trillion epochs, or about 40 octillion system points, 60 octillion less than to fill his realm.
After testing his limits, being a peak Tier 8 enhances his individual learning consciousness to comprehend about a hundred billion epochs of knowledge each day.
Therefore, with enough system points, he could unify the Amalgamation of Will in only three years.
Unfortunately, it's only an estimate.
The Amalgamation of Will he gets each day is only worth over 10 septillion system points, far from the 36 septillion system points needed to achieve his upper limit.
Furthermore, the former Apex Sovereign of the Nexus continent, the thugs of the Moonlight Empire, were a deep pit.
These people had tens of trillions of epochs of life experience.
With eleven of them, he needed to experience an additional 300 trillion epochs of life.
Thus, even with his current acquisition rate of system points, Maximus would need 50 to 60 years to unify his Amalgamation of Will.
However, this is not the end; after unifying the Amalgamation of Will, he would need to create the ninth chapter of 'Origin.'
To create it, he needed to master 1118 essences of law present in the Etherium realm to transcendence.
This is the hardest part, needing hundreds to thousands of years.
Seeing that he was still far from reaching the apex, Maximus only smiled.
"I'm not in a hurry; my strength is enough."
With his current strength, except for those ancient Apex Sovereigns who mastered some Origin of Law in advance, no one was his match.
Thinking that he needed more Amalgamation of Will, he sighed again.
Previously, he thought that 10 septillion units of Amalgamation of Will per day was already a lot.
Now, to achieve his current upper limit, he needed 36 septillions of it.
What about reaching Tier 9?
To reach their current realm, how could their appetite be so small?
Their greed and ambition were not something a mere continent could contain.
They needed something bigger, grander, an infinite space that could contain their greed and ambition.
The Chaotic Sea, the immeasurable sea of the Etherium realm, just whetted their appetite.
With doubt and excitement, they hurriedly applied for a quota.
...
In Moonlight Empire, Imperial Castle:
Maximus quickly sifted through the list, using system points to digest their information rapidly.
"So many..." Maximus muttered with joy and sorrow.
He was happy because if all of these people joined his plan, he could almost gather all the Tier 8 individuals in the world.
This means he would receive an Amalgamation of Will beyond his imagination.
Unfortunately, it's not possible.
How could those Apex Sovereigns allow him to poach their people?
After those Tier 8 powerhouses left, what would be left in their territory?
Who would earn them wealth, resources, and faith?
Even with the help of Fealan and Malgron.
If those Apex Sovereigns became crazy enough, they could just destroy the Curse Continent before he could react.
Furthermore, everything needed balance; he didn't have enough resources and manpower to accept all these powerhouses into his empire.
Maximus needed to choose meticulously, considering their capability, wealth, resources, manpower, etc.
The Tier 8 individuals he chose must be those who had a huge foundation that could thrive on their own.
Even the people in his Empire, Maximus couldn't choose arbitrarily.
If they died in the Chaotic Sea, the one losing would be him.
"Huh? What is this?"
As he was choosing individuals from the four continents, he noticed an Apex Sovereign from the Beast Continent.
He didn't expect that even an Apex Sovereign would be tempted by him.
However, thinking about it, it's understandable.
The Beast Continent was the third smallest continent in the Etherium realm.
Furthermore, the Supreme Primordial Beast, Alabaster, owned the entire continent.
Unlike in the Arcane Continent and Divine Continent where they were given their personal territory after they reached Tier 9.
In the Beast Continent, even if they reach Tier 9, besides the land for their clan, they don't own anything.
Initially, with the invincible strength of Alabaster, no one dared to complain.
However, seeing the opportunity presented before them, they couldn't help but reach out.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't take you now..." Maximus muttered, shaking his head.
He was already having a headache about where to get the system points to experience hundreds of trillions of epochs of life of those former Apex Sovereigns.
How could he add another deep pit?
Moreover, accepting these Apex Sovereigns is only making an enemy of Alabaster.
Maximus would be putting the cart before the horse if he accepted them.
Giving them a private message, he silently erased their names from the list.
"There will be a time in the future..."
