Chapter 425 Etherium Academy
A Hundred Years Later, In the Etherium Realm
In the middle of the chaotic sea, a large mass of land the size of a continent floated above the water.
In the plaque was a domineering calligraphy, Etherium Academy, showing its majesty to the world.
"What a grand academy" Maximus sighed at the grandeur of the Etherium Academy.
Investing all the tax the Etherium Alliance gathered, the academy cost about 10 million origin coins alone.
With the addition of manpower, connections, and labor, the academy was officially the most expensive manmade creation in the Etherium Realm.
The size of the Etherium Academy was even a little bigger than the initial size of the Curse Continent.
If not for Liam's effort to expand the current Curse Continent, it would be dwarfed by this academy.
Fortunately, the Curse Continent was already vastly different from the past.
In terms of landmass, the current Curse Continent was bigger than the Beast Continent and almost half the size of the Arcane Continent.
As for population, there were already over 10 septillion citizens of the Moonlight Empire.
Although it's incomparable to the other three continents, the prosperity of the Curse Continent is unmatched.
With an abundance of money to spend, the Curse Continent underwent major renovation and advancement.
From the array, architecture, transportation, energy density, resource points, secret realms, etc.
The Curse Continent became a veritable paradise on the Etherium Realm.
Maximus also achieved his dream of having all the races on the different continents live in his empire.
From the Arcane Continent, Divine Continent, and Beast Continent, most dreamt of living in the Moonlight Empire.
The Moonlight Empire also became known as the land of opportunity, with all kinds of jobs, secret realms, training, fights, and resources booming in the empire.
Because of this, many wanted to change the name of the continent, as the Curse Continent, the land of doom, was no longer appropriate for such a place.
However, because there was no unified statement, many names appeared, calling the Curse Continent the Central Continent, Astral Continent, Shadow Continent, Promised Continent, etc.
Maximus was also undecided, not knowing what to name the continent.
Turning his attention to the Etherium Academy, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Such a grand academy, I hope it doesn't disappoint me..."
...
A few months later, the Etherium Academy officially opened.
Unlike what most expected, the Etherium Academy is open to all as long they are in the tier 8 realm.
There is no test, trial, or various requirements in talent and comprehension.
The Etherium Academy is open to all aspiring people who want to change their fate.
However, to encourage students and cultivate their mindset, everything in the academy uses academy points.
From classes, books, resources, dorms, training facilities, etc. one can't function without academy points.
It is the only currency that can be used in the Etherium Academy.
To earn academy points, they would have to either top their subject, meet the required milestone, win in competitions, or do miscellaneous jobs.
...
In the center of the academy was the Etherium Tower.
It contains thirteen floors and an underground floor.
Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius looked at the door with expectation.
"Do you think there is a tier 11 book here?" Readius said in doubt.
"My son-in-law shouldn't lie," Fealan said proudly.
Since Maximus married his two daughters, Fealan had been living at ease.
From money, resources, and information, as long as he asked, Maximus would give it right away.
However, as a father, Fealan didn't abuse his relationship, fearing that Maximus would treat his daughters like a transaction.
"Tsk, old Fealan, if nothing is in here, you better reprimand that son-in-law of yours," Readius teased.
"Alright, that's enough, let's go inside."
Opening the door, they were greeted by orderly orbs floating across the room.
"Is this elliptical inheritance?" Fealan muttered.
Elliptical inheritance is a unique way of passing information, like the Book of Inheritance.
Although one couldn't directly learn what was written on it, the elliptical inheritance prevented anyone from passing or even telling what they had learned from it.
"It really is!" The other two said in excitement.
They didn't care if they couldn't pass the knowledge they had learned; anyway, it is the same anywhere in the Virtual Realm.
Instead, they were more excited, feeling that it was more authentic with such encryption.
Inside the room were tens of thousands of elliptical inheritances, representing tens of thousands of Origin of laws.
As Readius touched the closest elliptical inheritance before him, a virtual panel appeared.

"100 Etherium Alliance Contribution Points per chapter?!" Readius muttered in shock.
Etherium Alliance Contribution Points are each worth an Origin Coin.
They, as the leaders, could get 5 percent of the alliance income, meaning they could earn 4-5 thousand contribution points each year without doing anything.
However, to price each chapter of Origin of Law at 100 EA contribution points is ridiculous.
Looking at their accounts they barely hundreds of contribution points, which couldn't even afford a few chapters.
They cashed out most of their contribution points to buy resources, and the remaining ones were their income these past few months.
While frowning, they saw Felaan leisurely choosing an origin of law to study.
"Do you have reserved contribution points, Fealan?" they asked in puzzlement.
"Huh? What do you mean? Aren't they free?"
"Free? Are yours free?!" They asked in shock.
"See, it's free~," Fealan said, showing them the virtual panel.
