[Generating the 161,702nd trial: The Supreme Law of Reality]
Waking up to the next trial, Maximus found himself in the Etherium Realm.
From the very first instance, he was transmigrated, bedridden, and powerless; a question burned in his mind.
"What trial is this?"
As if hearing his thoughts, the entity of the Supreme Law of Reality appeared beside him.
"Surprise! What do you think of being back at the beginning?" Visit m,v le,mpyr today
As the entity that controlled all the laws of the Etherium Realm, they knew of Maximus's origin.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Before they realized it, Maximus had already become saturated with the source and origin of the Aeon Plane.
Killing or expelling him would be equivalent to harming the Etherium Realm itself.
Although they were the origin of all laws and could control everything in the Aeon Plane, they still couldn't harm any living being within it.
They were a neutral force—an arbiter of nature and cycles of the planes.
No matter what happened, they couldn't interfere. They could only guide and protect.
Looking at the scene before him, Maximus couldn't help but reminisce.
"What am I supposed to do here?"
"You just need to relive your life..."
"Relive my life?" Maximus smiled with interest.
Although he couldn't access his system, his river of knowledge, his power, his physique, or even his technical memories and experiences, it didn't dampen his intrigue.
"Yes, without anything—no knowledge or power. I want to see what reality you would create..."
"Then let me give you a masterpiece..."
Reliving his life, with only his bare memories shaping his cognition, Maximus felt the challenge ahead.
As the Supreme Law of Reality left the room, an attendant arrived to tend to his injuries.
With a calm mind cultivated through thousands of epochs, where he played under the Supreme Law of Knowledge, Maximus began managing his small territory.
"Not just satisfied, I'm impressed!" the Supreme Law of Reality replied sincerely.
Without power or technical knowledge, Maximus had conquered an entire continent.
If not for the limited lifespan imposed on him, perhaps he could have conquered the entire world and been crowned a dimensional emperor.
"I'm just reliving my life—nothing too outrageous," Maximus murmured with difficulty.
"Reliving your life? In your current situation, I'd be amazed if you could conquer even the island continent you were born in," the Supreme Law of Reality sighed.
This trial seemed like child's play to Maximus.
What kind of trials had he endured before this one?
"Hahaha, even I'm amazed I could achieve this," Maximus laughed heartily.
"I thought all of my achievements were thanks to luck and the power I possessed."
Although this trial had been far from easy, it allowed him to see the truth of his reality.
The reality was that he had grown.
If it had been the version of himself from the past—faced with such a helpless situation, stripped of everything that made him unique, without any power to stand above the world—he would have been consumed by despair.
Back then, he had been a mere mortal traveler, chosen by his plane to carry its will.
He was nothing more than a living being.
Without the system, his talents, powers, or fortunate encounters, he would have long since vanished into obscurity.
Even as an almighty powerhouse ruling over dimensions, the most talented prodigy who could sweep everything, deep down, he had always been that insecure mortal.
The mortal who believed his achievements were owed to external forces.
Yet, after facing this trial, his eyes were opened to reality.
He had grown.
He was no longer the helpless being who could accomplish nothing on his own.
He had grown.
He was no longer someone who relied solely on luck to achieve greatness.
"I had grown..."
