Chapter 475: Tier 9 Liquid Solution

A thousand years later...

In the Shadowcrest Castle Laboratory, Maximus and his wives were busy tinkering with various materials.

Each had their own roles, from extracting, condensing, heating, and fusion.

Standing in front of a giant transparent glass, Maximus carefully poured the materials according to the deductions made by the Seal of Truth.

As soon as the liquid changed colors, Maximus' body tensed, expecting a successful result.

Once the liquid turned transparent, he hurriedly used the Seal of Truth to confirm if the liquid solution was a success.

Upon receiving a positive answer, Maximus' eyes lit up, and he laughed out loud.

"Complete! The tier 9 liquid solution is finally complete!"

Maximus' excitement caused a commotion as his wives gathered around him.

"Is this the finished product? It doesn't seem like much!" Hazel remarked.

"No, it's not that simple. I can see that this liquid contains immense essence of law," Lilith murmured, her eyes gleaming.

"That's right. If you feel it carefully, there's a pressure, like a condensed bomb waiting to explode," Skye muttered, sensing danger.

"No need to investigate further. I've already confirmed it. We've successfully created a tier 9 liquid solution!" Maximus declared, hugging his wives in celebration.

Hundreds of years ago, while he was deep in research, his wives had barged into his laboratory.

Bored at the Etherium Academy, they decided to help him with his work.

Although most lacked specialized knowledge in the field, they were still powerful apex sovereigns.

With the help of his wives, Maximus had successfully created a tiered-down potion in just a thousand years.

"Should we sell this? If it's truly successful, we'd be rich!" Denice muttered excitedly.

Such a concentrated essence of law could mass produce tier 9 powerhouses.

Even if one didn't master the essence of law, the energy alone would be enough to turn anyone into an immortal.

"No, we can't sell it yet. It's too conspicuous..." Maximus thought for a moment and decided.

He was merely a tier 9 powerhouse, and selling such heaven-defying resources would only invite trouble.

Furthermore, just collecting 161,803 different tier 9 materials was hassle enough, let alone obtaining a strand of causality of power.

He didn't even have enough for himself, let alone others.

Moreover, the Dimensional Origin Library was already earning enough origin coins.

Every year, it brought in over a hundred million, making his net worth surpass a hundred billion origin coins in a thousand years.

After explaining his reasoning, his wives nodded in understanding.

"Then this will be the exclusive resource of the Shadowcrest Household," Erica said happily.

Despite a thousand years passing, Lily and the others still hadn't advanced to the tier 10 realm.

After Maximus created the perfect tier 9 origin manual, he gave each of them a copy, which slowed their progress significantly.

They still needed thousands of years to reconsolidate their foundation and advance to tier 10 realm.

As for the gap in magnitude of power, Erica and the others also began training in all 161,803 essences of law.

Although the Etherium realm could simulate only ten thousand essences of law, Maximus already transferred their origin to the World Tree.

With more money than he could spend, Maximus started nurturing a World Tree on a large scale.

Nurturing a tier 11 World Tree containing all 161,803 essences of law only required a few billion origin fragments.

With over a hundred billion origin coins earned by the Dimensional Origin Library, Maximus nurtured a few dozen World Trees for each of his wives and family.

Not only did a World Tree with a complete essence of law help them practice all the laws in advance and offer protection, but it could also be used to condense tier 9 ultimate treasures.

If there were only one World Tree, with each tier 9 ultimate treasure taking 100 years to condense, collecting the treasure needed for his tier 9 foundation would take millions of years.

But now, with a few dozen trees, this number has decreased to just a few hundred thousand years.

With more money, he could nurture even more World Trees.

The only problem with their origin bound to the World Tree is that they couldn't advance to tier 10 realm without the World Tree becoming a tier 12 treasure containing all origins of law.

Using the Seal of Truth, Maximus deduced that it would cost him trillions of origin fragments to nurture a single tier 12 World Tree.

As for nurturing a World Tree to the ultimate level, where it could condense its own causality of power?

The Seal of Truth couldn't answer—it was beyond the Aeon Plane's capabilities.

Using the Seal of Truth, Maximus realized that the existence of a tier 12 ultimate-level World Tree was merely a legend—a creation of people's imagination.

Perhaps only when Maximus reached the peak of the Aeon Plane could he realize this legend and make it into reality.

Still, a tier 12 World Tree was enough. With all the origins of law, one could advance all the way to the tier 12 realm.

The limitation of origin only applied to the foundation realms from tier 1 to tier 10.

Tier 11 realm was about studying the River of Law or combining 161,803 origins of law to form a phenomenon.

Tier 12 realm, on the other hand, involved forming a world where one was absolute.

A tier 12 World Tree was already heaven-defying, capable of purifying and converting origin fragments into strands of causality of power.

Such an ability could only belong to a tier 12 ultimate treasure.

Once Maximus had enough World Trees and his physique reached tier 12, allowing him to produce unlimited origin energy, he could artificially generate as many strands of causality of power as he wanted.

Thinking of such a future, Maximus couldn't help but feel excited.

Looking at his wives enjoying their swim, Maximus couldn't resist joining them, washing away the fatigue from his thousand years of research.

"Huh~ I wondered what is the current situation of Etherium Realm..."
