Chapter 334 Original Path
With the new law promulgated by Maximus, the entire Moonlight Empire went crazy.
The encouragement bonus set up by Maximus is truly astonishing.
Although it was not enough to pile up resources to propel someone forward a hundred percent.
It’s sufficient enough for talented individuals to advance successfully.
Unfortunately, one couldn’t cash out the encouragement bonus in advance.
After all, if they failed, there was no way they could repay the debt.
Although Maximus is rich, he couldn’t simply throw money into a pit.
He already had numerous expenses, and spending more would be redundant.
He already gave them daily subsidies, any more and people would take them for granted.
Fortunately, This is where institutions like the Golden Academy come into play.
They had abundant funds and enough collateral to withdraw money in advance.
Holding a plethora of chips, they were willing to take the risks.
If their bet succeeded, they could earn multiples of their investment.
Furthermore, this isn’t exactly gambling; one simply needs to have a good eye for talent.
Once the talent they had chosen bloomed, they could get their investment back in multiple folds.
The individual who advanced would also get money and strength in return, making it a win-win situation.
Such an opportunity; how could those hungry wolves let this pass by?
The moment the law was promulgated, institutions began to be established one after another.
After undergoing assessment and obtaining approval from the Academic Committee.
They borrowed loans ranging from trillions to quadrillions.
Having the money, they quickly choose land and hire a construction company to build a campus.
Unfortunately, it would still take a few months to a few years before it is finished.
Without a location, they couldn’t start recruiting individuals according to the rules.
They could only suppress their hunger, watching the Golden Academy enroll students one after another.
Fortunately, the Golden Academy could only accept so many.
A few trillion were the maximum they could enroll.
However, as the first mover, they had an unprecedented advantage.
As the only Academy of such nature, they could pick the finest candidates of the bunch.
In the future, these rough gems will have more chances to flourish, providing them with endless wealth.
From Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier 6, etc.
As long as the Academy or the Institution didn’t kick them out.
The Academy or the institution would continue to receive a portion of the encouragement bonus as the individuals they nurtured advanced.
By selecting the best candidates early on.
They got the high-quality stock first, building them generational wealth.
…
A few years later, in the Imperial Castle.“It’s done!” Maximus muttered with a smile, beholding his masterpiece.
It was a cube-like device that stood a hundred meters tall and wide.
As he approached the device, a panel popped up.
[Choose the resource you want to generate:

Food (Unavailable)
Potion (Unavailable)

Examining the array of options, Maximus clicked on the ‘Energy Crystal.’
[Select the type of Energy Crystal:

Tapping on the Low Magic Crystal, another panel popped out.
[Select the Crystal Element:

Wind type Low Magic Crystal (Unavailable)
..]
Choosing his only available option, another panel appeared.
[Select the Amount:
Neutral Low Magic Crystal: 100 billion]
[Generating…
Estimated time: 2,857 years]
Soon, the cube-like device began to generate magic crystals one after another, akin to an automatic printer.
Seeing it work with no problem, he walked to the other cube-like device and repeated the same process.
Observing that they were all operating simultaneously without delay, the smile on his face widened.
“The Etherforge Reactor is complete!”
The cube-like device in front of him is a resource generator.
And it’s not just any generator; it’s an automatic generator that doesn’t need anything besides his mana.
As soon as Maximus reached tier 7, practicing the ‘Origin,’ he could generate anything with his unlimited mana.
However, a problem was presented in front of him.
His mana discharge capacity is slow.
It’s like having unlimited water, but it can only be released through a tap.
No matter how vast the amount of water you have, it’s useless.
Even after he advanced to tier 8, his mana discharge capacity only upgraded from a tap to a dam.
Although it’s faster, it didn’t satisfy Maximus.
After all, what’s the use of his unlimited mana if it couldn’t be released as he likes?
Especially now, advancing to tier 8, he had the power of law and amalgamation of will.
Although it was not unlimited, it was stronger and more useful.
This made the already useless unlimited mana even more useless.
Maximus even thought that an ultimate dimensional physique was just like that.
After all, by copying others’ physiques, Maximus could unleash greater power than this so-called ultimate dimensional physique.
Even if it were upgraded to rank 10 physique, making his power of law unlimited, it would still be useless.
He had ‘Origin,’ which can interchange the amalgamation of will to recharge his power of law.
Furthermore, more power of law is useless because of his limited discharge speed.
Since knowing this, Maximus began to think of a solution.
After all, an ultimate dimensional physique couldn’t possibly be this useless.
This only means that Maximus didn’t study it enough and exploited its uses.
Finally,after a some time, he was inspired by the unlimited expanding treasures.
Like the Atomic God Metal, Earth of Life, and Water of Life.
These special treasures seem to suck his mana individually.
Each piece can bypass his discharge speed and directly suck at the source, breaking all the previous logic.
Unfortunately, he was only tier 7 then; no matter how he studied this phenomenon, he was clueless.
Now, after advancing to tier 8 and having system points as much as he wanted.
Maximus finally had a glimpse of this illogical phenomenon.
The origin of law, the rules that run through all dimensions.
These special treasures seemed to be laced with an Origin of Law.
They were tasked to expand in the universe, filling up the dimensions rapidly.
Seeing this, Maximus understood.
His physique is the is equivalent to a complete Origin of Source, the dimensional source of all energy.
Naturally, the only one who could exploit an origin of law is, of course, another origin of law.
Unfortunately, with his current realm, he still can’t use energy that is close to the origin of law.
Even the Amalgamation of Will was barely on par with the essence of law.
Back to square one, Maximus was a little helpless.
Despite all the studying, he still can’t exploit his Unlimited Mana.
However, seeing all the system points lying around, he went crazy.
Spending hundreds of quadrillions of system points every day.
Maximus slowly deduced how he could maneuver around his unlimited mana.
Knowledge after knowledge, profession after profession, Maximus was like a tireless machine absorbing so much information every day.
Finally, like water grinding a rock, he found a solution.
Using the Atomic God Metal and other tier 10 auxiliary materials, he created the Etherforge Reactor.
With Tier 9 arrays, Tier 9 runic language, Tier 9 composition knowledge, Tier 9 circuit knowledge, etc.
He managed to create a device capable of absorbing his mana individually.
Each of these Etherforge Reactors could absorb his mana directly from the source.
It was no longer limited to his release speed but the speed at which the device absorbed his mana.
To this, Maximus was also a little helpless.
A single Etherforge Reactor could only generate a million low-
grade Magic crystals or equivalent matter per day.
With his current discharge speed, he could probably create over a hundred billion low-grade magic crystals if he put all his thought into it.
Still, despite its limitedness, creating such a device is a major milestone.
Just a hundred thousand Etherforge Reactors are already equivalent to his discharge speed.
Creating a million is ten times, and creating a billion is ten thousand times.
As long as Maximus had enough material, he could create the Etherforge reactor unlimited times.
And the Etherforge Reactor is not the limit.
Etherforge Reactor is only a resource generator.
Soon, Maximus would create weapon-type reactors, auxiliary-
type reactors, puppet-type reactors, and many more.
Thinking of the possibilities, Maximus finally found his path.
His physique, the Dimensional Source, was no longer useless but would become his main source of power and wealth.
The Myriad World Mall and the Family and Power system are not his.
Sooner or later, they would disappear and be useless.
However, his Ultimate Dimensional Physique was his and his alone.
It was a unique mark in his very origin; his system only helped awaken it.
Coupled with the Ultimate Cultivation Manual he created.
Maximus felt a wide path open before him, a path that personally belonged to him.
