The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Maximus was not the only one feeling multiple streams of knowledge advancing into a river of law.

Many powerhouses within the Maxim of Order following the path of knowledge also sensed the commotion.

Promoting a stream of law to a river of law was a major milestone, one that only the most talented could reach.

Especially considering that the source of this stream of law hadn't yet advanced to an ocean of law, the difficulty of promotion was amplified a thousand times over.

Realizing that all members of the Shadowcrest family were only in the tier 10 realm further increased the challenge.

Looking on in disbelief and envy, they pondered how such a feat could be achieved.

"Lord Pioneer truly possesses infinite strands of causality..."

Over the past five thousand years alone, according to Order of Maxim statistics, their leader had expended more than 30 trillion strands of causality to pay for the Ether Forges alone.

This amount was equivalent to the supply of a top sect for thousands of years.

With such resources, even a pig could nurture its streams of law into a river of law.

Knowing their leader's love for his family, they could only imagine how extravagance their use of strands of causality was.

What they didn't know was that, in the past five thousand years, Maximus not only provided his family with over 50 trillion strands of causality but also 50 quintillion units of pure origin energy each day.

This amount was akin to his family spending 50 quintillion origin coins daily for thousands of years.

Absorbing such a vast amount of energy, not only did their streams of law advance to rivers, but their realms also reached the peak of the tier 10 level.

Just a slight push, and they would be ready to advance to the next tier.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of the members of the Maxim of Order, Maximus now possessed over a billion Ether Forges, capable of producing more than 86 quintillion origin fragments daily.

By now, Maximus had finally achieved the freedom of wealth.

The Tower of Knowledge, which he once relied on for income, now generated only trillions each day.

Maximus had essentially set it aside as a front for the outside forces and the virtual headquarters of the Maxim of Order.

After all, what he generated in a single day exceeded even what the Dimensional Alliance could generate.

Maximus even began to worry if the dimensional source was truly infinite or if it would be drained within thousands of years.

Fortunately, everything remained stable; even the overlords had noticed nothing unusual.

If they knew Maximus could generate such an amount of energy by himself, they might have long since turned against him.

The combination of Ether Forge and his Dimensional Source physique was indeed incomprehensible.

Fortunately, only Iris and his family understood the true purpose of the Ether device.

Not his subordinates, not the Alliance, not the top-tier forces, and certainly not the overlords.

Teleporting to his family's training quarters, Maximus began congratulating them on their advancement.

Assessing their current situation, it seemed their magnitude of power had already reached trillions, catching up to the three prodigies endorsed by the overlords' forces.

Feeling the rush of their newfound power, Maximus asked if they wanted to celebrate and relax, but they quickly shook their heads.

The energy within their bodies was overflowing, and their minds were a little unsteady.

Celebrating now would only lead them into a false sense of invincibility.

They needed a proving ground, a forge to temper their arrogance and steady their minds.

Recognizing the instability of their current state, Maximus could think of only one solution to their predicament.

"The Virtual Tower of Trials—it's time for our family to conquer that place!" Maximus smiled.

Eager to test their strength, the Virtual Tower was the perfect arena.

Not only could they win the rewards they'd always aspired to claim, but they could also measure themselves against the top talents of the Aeon Plane.

Virtual Realm, Domain of Trials:

Returning for a second time, they no longer felt mere awe but a thrill of excitement, eager to conquer the place.

In the center of the realm, the Virtual Tower stood as tall as ever, with endless crowds streaming in and out.

Its popularity remained unsurpassed, an attraction beyond any rival.

As the Shadowcrest family appeared, the crowd quickly parted, feeling the heavy pressure they exuded weigh down upon them.

"The Shadowcrest family…" someone in the crowd murmured in recognition.

"This… the aura of the River of Law! Every one of them is a master of a River of Law!"

Initially, the crowd was delighted to finally encounter the legendary Shadowcrest family in person.

But as they sensed the sheer power emanating from them, their eyes widened in horror and disbelief.

If a Supreme Primordial Candidate became a master of the River of Law at the tier 10 realm, they could accept it as a matter of course.

But for every member of the Shadowcrest family to have reached mastery of the River of Law at the tier 10 realm?

Were they still asleep? Was this a dream? Were they even sane?

Did the reality they thought of even real?

As they watch with incredulous eyes, Maximus lead his family toward the Virtual Tower.

Although Maximus was cautious, he wasn't one to suppress his family's achievements out of fear.

Such a show of strength was, after all, still manageable.

After Maximus broke the myth of achieving mastery of the River of Law at the tier 10 realm, many Primordial Candidates followed suit.

From Paragon, Ylva, and Linus mastering a forbidden path one after another, to Geir, Hjalmar, and Otto achieving mastery of their respective path.

Others quickly trailed behind, inching closer to fully mastering their chosen paths of law.

With the tense situation surrounding the Dark Creatures invasion, the foundations of the top families and sects had begun to reveal themselves.

While his family's accomplishment was surprising, it was no longer record-breaking.

Furthermore, they hadn't conquered a River of Law but nurtured a stream of law to that level—a feat that could be achieved with enough resources.
