Chapter 365 I'm Here...
In the laboratory, Maximus and his family were looking at Lilith.
After drinking the awakening potion, the surrounding mana began to surge.
The laws and space became chaotic as if they wanted to expel Lilith.
"Not good!" Maxine yelled in panic.
"Don't worry, dear. With us here, there will be no problem," Isabella smiled.
The awakening of the ultimate physique was more dangerous than they thought.
However, with seven Apex Sovereign and her husband in the room, there was nothing in this world that could be called dangerous.
With Liam, Lux, Amara, Elysienne, Freya, Fealan, and Maximus, it can be said that even if there is a world catastrophe, this place would still be a safe haven.
Calming the space and laws, Lilith proceeded to awaken her physique.
...
Soon, a few months passed, and the chaotic energy around calmed down.
Lilith slowly opened her eyes, looking at them calmly.
"How fascinating..." Fealan muttered, looking at his daughter.
Although Lilith was only at tier 8, Fealan felt like he was looking at the World Origin.
"Indeed, what a great specimen," Maximus felt that Lilith had become the truth, the path to transcendence.
He felt infinite knowledge of truth flowing from her, which made him addicted.
Even with his rationality, he wanted to kidnap Lilith and lock her in a room for himself.
"Brat, don't talk nonsense!" Fealan said, forcefully patting Maximus, feeling that he was thinking something crazy.
Although he knew that there was something wrong with Maximus, Felean couldn't have his daughter being thought like that.
"I know..." Maximus replied.
The most important thing now was to solve his problem.
As for the idea of kidnapping Lilith and locking her in a room, it was for later.
"How do you feel?" Fealan asked Lilith.
"I feel great, father!" Lilith said excitedly.
Lilith seemed to see everything, from their feelings, thoughts, strengths, weaknesses, past, future, everything.
She felt omniscient, knowing everything.
However, after she calmed down, it was all her imagination because of the leap in strength.
She could only see a bit of emotion coming from the Apex Sovereigns in the room, much less their past and future.
As for Max and the others, she could barely pry into their thoughts.
Their bodies were filled with high-tier treasure, preventing her from seeing further.
"Don't look too much, your physique is only rank 9, no matter how high the quality is, it's limited," Fealan said, feeling his daughter's thoughts.
"Oh~" Lilith muttered, turning her attention to Maximus.
"How is it, Maximus? Can I help now?"
"Don't bother, you being here is plenty enough," Maximus said emotionlessly, in his consciousness tens of thousands of epochs passed each second.
Scanning Lilith's physique, Maximus just needed to copy it.
He just needed a reference; he could do everything himself.
"Then, I'll stay with you as long as you want~" Although Lilith knew the meaning of his words, she still blushed.
"Let's go!" Lilith said, grabbing Maximus's hand.
Awakening her physique, Lilith wanted to celebrate.
Meanwhile, seeing her daughter hooking at another man, Fealan couldn't help but have a cold face.
"I'll go back to the Arcane Continent first," Fealan said.
He couldn't stand seeing his daughter flirting with others like this.
"I'll go back too," Freya said.
Seeing her sister safe and sound, she also didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Hmm," Maximus just nodded, concentrating on deciphering Lilith's physique.
"I'll call later after my husband returns to normal and thank you two," Isabella said.
These two were one of the reasons the Moonlight Empire stayed safe without the protection of her husband.
After Maximus went into sudden seclusion, the Moonlight Empire was left without an Emperor.
After a few years, a few decades, nothing happened.
However, after a hundred years, seeing that Maximus was still in seclusion, the forces outside seemed to smell a fragrant meat.
From the guild, the empire, and all their properties, the forces outside couldn't help but tear them up and divide them amongst themselves.
Unfortunately, the Moonlight Empire had a deeper foundation than they thought.
First is the former Apex Sovereigns of the Nexus Continent.
They were like mad dogs that would bite anyone to pieces at the slightest disagreement.
Hearing that they were bullying their beloved home, these Apex Sovereigns nearly started a continental war.
If not for the intervention of Fealan, the Etherium Realm may have been plunged into war and chaos.
There is also the Shadow Hunter Guild.
After Maximus left, with no one to hold them down, the guild nearly disbanded.
Top guilds began to poach members with top-tier resources and unimaginable benefits.
As long as they betrayed the guild, they could have everything in their dreams; how could they not be tempted?
Unfortunately, their little calculation was all for naught.
The vice guild leader, Andrew, quickly rectified the situation.
Kicking the majority of the guild members, he also increased the benefits of the guild, binding the remaining members more strictly.
As for their various properties all around the Arcane Continent and the Abyss, with Lux around, there were not many problems.
Everything about business is money and interest, and with the Myriad World Mall in his hand, Lux had the world.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lux even made their business more prosperous.
It can be said that even without Maximus, everything went smoothly.
...
Ten years later, after over a trillion epochs of comprehension, Maximus finally deciphered Lilith's physique.
"It's barely enough..."
Looking at the fragment of physique that was simulated by his domain, Maximus couldn't help but sigh.
Even after a trillion epochs of comprehension, he could barely simulate Lilith's physique, the Primordial Origin.
Fortunately, he only needed some vision so that he could have some insights around the River of Knowledge.
"Begin!"
Directing the Fragment of Primordial Origin to his chaotic 'Origin', Maximus quickly identified all kinds of problems.
Initially, he only saw his 'Origin' as a chaotic mass of energy.
Now, using the fragment of Primordial Origin, he saw his 'Origin' in pieces like broken glass.
Around it was a strong barrier preventing the pieces of 'Origin' from being separated and lost in the void.
"So dangerous!" Maximus muttered in shock.
If these pieces of 'Origin' were to break through the protective barrier, he would lose even his rationality.
By that time, he would be a monster without a mind of his own, no emotion, no pursuit, nothing.
He would become a mere piece of debris flowing through the void for eternity.
"Fortunately, it's not too late," He heaved a sigh of relief.
With the eyes of the Primordial Origin, Maximus pieced the broken glasses of his 'Origin' one by one.
As each piece got glued together, Maximus felt emotion and his missing memories coming back.
However, as his 'Origin' became complete, he saw the energy corroding him become more intense.
"Is this the River of Knowledge?" He frowned.
Finally seeing the energy manifestation of the River of Knowledge, Maximus's eyes darkened.
"Hmph, let's see if I can't cure you!"
Now that he could see the energy manifestation of the River of Knowledge, it was no longer a problem.
By now, he had already regained his memory: the 'Origin' Cultivation manual, Amalgamation of will, the entire system, etc.
He could also fully control his 'Origin.'
Studying the energy frequency of the River of Knowledge, Maximus began to create a corresponding barrier.
Soon, a few months passed, and the 'Origin' barrier he created became more solid.
Although the River of Knowledge could still pass, it was not as intense.
Heaving a sigh of relief, his eyes looked outside longingly.
Now that he had regained his emotion, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his wives and children.
Leaving for a thousand years without much notice must be hard for them.
Seeing that all pieces of his 'Origin' were pieced together, and the River of Knowledge couldn't affect him in a short time, Maximus exited his seclusion early.
He couldn't wait any longer; he wanted to see them this very second.
Opening the door, he saw Isabella and Lilith anxiously waiting outside.
"I'm back..." Maximus smiled.
Hearing his voice, Isabella and Lilith were stunned.
That tone, that emotion, seeing those loving eyes, Isabella and Lilith teared up.
Although this decade they could physically interact and see Maximus, they knew something was missing.
He was like a piece of moving picture that could only soothe their memory.
Hearing his voice, they felt a familiarity with the love and attention Maximus had for them.
"Don't worry, I'm here..." Maximus sighed and firmly hugged them.
Feeling his warmth, they cried even further.
How hard it must be to see that the man you love didn't even feel anything for you.
Although you get along, you know deep inside that he was not paying attention.
No matter how tight he holds you, knowing his attention was elsewhere, you will only feel coldness, like it was a dream manifesting before you.
As this continued they could only numb themself, hoping that everything would work in the future.
"I'm here..."
"I'm here..."
"I'm here..."
Maximus said repeatedly, proving that they were not hallucinating.
They didn't need apologies; they needed his confirmation.
Feeling they calmed down, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Everything is over now, I'm here..."
