"The Supreme Primordial Candidate, huh?"
The title "Supreme" was a name they coined for the only one who had completed the virtual trial.
All of them had become primordial candidates due to their origin-grade physiques.
Thus, to differentiate Maximus from the rest, they added 'Supreme.'
Feeling the pressure Maximus emitted, they couldn't help but be overwhelmed.
"Over ten trillion magnitudes of power!"
"This is intense! How could a Tier 10 individual possess such power? Is this even possible?"
"It's just a temporary power enhancement. What's the big deal?" Hjalmar muttered, feeling Maximus was a bit of a fraud.
"Tsk, what a weakling, not even knowing what's real and what's not," Linus said lazily.
"That's right, Supreme Primordial Candidate, my ass! He can only rely on faking—" Suddenly, Hjalmar seemed to catch onto Linus's words.
"What do you mean?! Although you're from an overlord force, you don't have the right to insult me!"
"Come bite me if you can," Linus rolled his eyes, turning his attention to Maximus with interest.
Although the 10 trillion magnitudes of power Maximus displayed were temporary, beneath that lay a foundation of over 3.5 trillion magnitudes of power, almost catching up to Paragon.
Just as Hjalmar was about to argue with Linus, Maximus's gaze landed on them.
Feeling the direct pressure, Hjalmar couldn't help but gulp.
Although Hjalmar knew his power was temporary, the instincts deep inside his body told him otherwise.
Fortunately, Maximus continued walking with his wives, heading toward the Ancestral World Tree.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Hjalmar looked at Linus as if asking a question.
"He may be stronger than all of us," Linus simply said.
"Stronger?!"
Not only was Hjalmar shocked, but the rest also couldn't believe it and looked to see Paragon's reaction.
Paragon was the uncrowned leader among them.
Being the strongest and most promising, he was the one they looked up to.
"Not quite yet. Although his magnitude of power is greater, his mastery of the law is still at the initial level," Ylva answered on Paragon's behalf.
Although the magnitude of power is the foundational measure of strength, it's just that—foundational.
Techniques, skills, and mastery of such power are crucial.
More importantly, the mastery of the River of Law, a weapon that can wield that power, is also essential.
The top three primordial candidates had already achieved 99% mastery of the River of Law and could enhance their power a hundredfold, using it to an incomprehensible degree.
In actual combat, with their foundation and mastery of the River of Law, they could even defeat a Tier 11 master of the River of Law head-on.
Seeing that Maximus had only reached 30% mastery, Ylva didn't view him as a threat—well, for now.
Knowing this, the others heaved a sigh of relief.
There was still plenty of time; although Maximus had the additional title of supreme, they could still catch up.
"What do you think of him, Paragon? Are you inspired?" Linus jeered, seeing that Paragon remained silent.
"I've seen enough. It's time to go back..." Paragon didn't comment further and quickly opened a dimensional portal back to the Interdimensional Realm.
"I know you can do it, plus you're in the Elfalhn Realm. They wouldn't dare do anything," Maximus said meaningfully, glancing at the Ancestral World Tree.
Although it looked ancient and harmless, this gigantic tree seemed to encompass the entire Elfalhn Realm.
Like Etheria, the Ancestral World Tree had become this dimension's will.
A Tier 11 dimensional will, though not as strong as the Abyssal Will, could probably contend with one or two Masters of the Ocean of Law.
Knowing his father had already decided, Liam could only sigh.
"Then enjoy yourselves, Father, Mothers..."
Feeling happy to have such a trustworthy son, Maximus and his wives were ready to leave the place.
Unfortunately, three women blocked their way.
"The three Supreme Witches..."
"Please allow us to guide you to a more private place," Sylvara said tactfully.
"Hmm," Maximus nodded, sensing they had something important to discuss.
After teleporting to the core of the Ancestral World Tree and seeing it react to another, the three Supreme Witches finally couldn't contain their excitement.
"A complete World Tree! A complete World Tree that broke the absolute of the Aeon Plane!"
"The curse that was placed upon us—could it finally have a solution?"
Seeing them so ecstatic, Maximus understood their reaction.
The Ancestral World Tree must have sensed the complete World Tree inside his origin.
Although hidden, as the origin of all World Trees, sensing its leaves and branches was easy.
"Maximus, right? Can you tell us how you did it? How did you create a World Tree with the complete origin of laws?"
After calming down, they looked intently at Maximus, asking the question.
"It's because of my ultimate cultivation manual," Maximus said generously, taking out the World Tree for them to see.
It wasn't hard to guess that the advancement of the World Tree had something to do with either his cultivation path or an ultimate treasure.
Furthermore, feeling the warmth of the Ancestral World Tree, even these three Supreme Witches couldn't do anything to him.
It even accelerated the recovery of his cracked origin, which he had sustained in battle decades ago.
Looking at the World Tree with the complete origin of laws, they couldn't help but be mesmerized.
But hearing it was due to Maximus's cultivation manual, they quickly snapped out of it.
If it had been due to an ultimate treasure or some other method, no matter how much they had to pay, they could have asked Maximus for it.
But an ultimate manual? Unless they were willing to become slaves, they couldn't accept it.
Those who followed the path of another would be controlled by them.
Especially an ultimate manual recognized by the Aeon Plane.
"Does Alice also train with this path?" they asked, finally recalling Alice's insistence of marrying a boy from an unknown place.
Although their relationship had grown to an unfathomable degree, it was still odd that Alice had insisted on such a thing in the beginning.
"That's right," Maximus nodded.
"I see." Getting his confirmation, they couldn't help but have other thoughts.
"Do you want to marry a few more wives? Or perhaps for your sons?"
