The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

A few months later, Lux explored and investigated the empire, looking for various shortcomings.

What Lux found was worse than he had anticipated.

Opening the empire now was akin to suicide.

With hurried steps, Lux went to his father’s laboratory.

Inside, was like a whole other world, filled with exquisite experimental apparatus, some of which he didn’t even recognize.

Lux even forgot why he was there and unconsciously looked around.

“Lux?”

“Why are you here?” Maximus quickly noticed Lux and stopped what he was doing.

“Father, I’m here to return to the abyss and to warn you about the various shortcomings I found in the empire.”

“Oh? Shortcomings? Care to tell me?”

Although Maximus knew his empire inside and out, he was still curious about what problems his genius son saw.

“First and foremost are the vulnerabilities in the moonlight token system.”

“Unlike the one used in the arcane continent, ours was too easy to defraud.”

A while ago, after testing the vulnerability of the moonlight token system, Lux was shocked.

Although similar to the one in the Arcane continent requiring mana and a spirit signature.

The one used in the empire was easy to fake; one just needed to have a ready-made mana and soul signature at hand.

It didn’t matter if it was yours or not; the empire’s identification capability was too poor.

Unlike in the Arcane continent, where the identification was so strong that without the use of law, one could only dream of defrauding the system.

Furthermore, the moonlight token system was not only used for identification and access, more importantly, it was also used for transactions.

Earlier, after Lux tried to hack it, he was nearly successful.

If not for the weird garbled code at the end, he would have succeeded.

Although he failed, it still scared him that he nearly succeeded.

If he were more proficient and knowledgeable about runes and inscription, didn’t that mean he could easily change his bank balance?

Hearing Lux’s statement, Maximus just smiled.

“This is not a problem…”

For the moonlight token fraud vulnerability, Maximus could just change the identification device to something more advanced.

With the Myriad World Mall, there should be more advanced devices than the ones used in the arcane continent.

As for the bank’s security, hacking it was impossible.

It not only used his rune language, but the security program also used the same as the Myriad World Mall.

The one that Lux hacked was just a disguised decoy so as not to attract too much attention.

Seeing his father shrug off his warning, Lux frowned.

“Furthermore, it’s not only the moonlight token system; more importantly, it’s the security of the Moonlight Empire as a whole.”

“We couldn’t just use dimensional weapons or some destructive weapon against all offenders, right?”

Due to the expansion of the empire, security is one of its major problems.

From about a hundred trillion to over a hundred quadrillion, the manpower needed for security is truly insufficient.

Fortunately, there is security surveillance everywhere, ensuring that no criminal goes unpunished.

Furthermore, the chief minister, Doran, was doing his best to curb the breeding of crime.

Like segregating mortals and powerful individuals into different living sectors.

Curfew relative to each individual was also implemented.

There are also volunteer security personnel to conduct regular patrols.

However, despite all of these measures, crimes were still being committed regularly.

If the empire went public, with individuals from all over the continent coming to visit, the crime rate would skyrocket to unimaginable degrees.

“Hmm, what more?”

For the security problem, Maximus had already thought of a solution.

Once it was implemented, he was sure it could curb the criminal rate to a minimal or even non-existent level.

Furthermore, his domain could cover the entirety of the Moonlight Empire.

Although not the entire cursed continent, within the empire, as long as Maximus desired it, chaos had no chance of occurring.

He was simply too lazy to do things manually and wanted to let nature take its course.

Lux grew speechless seeing his father still nonchalant.

“What about the insufficient administrative manpower?”

“The process is too slow, and adding more people would only further bog down the administrative power of the empire.”

Although it seemed that one could do everything at home using the ethernet.

Administrative sectors such as banking, registration, and applications still require physical presence.

The problem was that if it was not an emergency or priority, it could take years for your application to be approved.

Even the business company that he registered is still being processed.

Without bribery or status, it might take even decades for his business license to be approved.

“Don’t worry about this. Soon, I will automate most of these administrative procedures.”

“Although some important sectors still need to be manned, some simple tasks should be easier in the future.”

“Oh,” Lux nodded, finally satisfied with his father’s solution.

Although he didn’t know how effective this automated administrative procedure would be or if it would even function properly.

Knowing his father, this should not be a problem.

“There is also the transportation problem,” Lux said, thinking about the inconvenient transportation option.

Although there are teleportation arrays in every city, they are too expensive and overcrowded.

To use the teleportation array, one needed to book a few days in advance.

In some crowded, high-traffic cities, one even needed to book for a few months in advance. The latest_ep_sodes are on_the NoᴠFre.nt

As for mechanical vehicles and the like, they could only be used inside cities.

The distance between each city was so vast that it would take a few months just to travel to the nearest one.

As for the void train of the previous empire, it is still under construction.

Lux estimated that without thousands of years, it wouldn’t be finished.

“Transportation is indeed a problem, but we can’t do anything about it,” Maximus said.

Maximus couldn’t just set up more teleportation arrays to ease traffic.

Besides the expense, it also required more time and high-tier manpower.

With millions of cities in the empire, it would take more time and manpower to construct them than the void train.

Furthermore, with the expansion of the population, millions of cities were certainly not enough.

“What other problems have you thought of?” Maximus asked.

It seemed that Lux could see through the empire at a glance.

Although it’s not really a problem, it can give him insights about the shortcomings of the empire.

“Hmm, there is also a lack of building facilities.”

Because the empire just moved to the Moonlight Forest and had a massive population explosion.

Most of the building facilities were houses, markets, city hall, banks, etc., just the bare necessities for society.

For specialized infrastructure, unless it was a major city, there was very little or even none of it built at all.

Having people outside the continent see this scenery, they may mock or even belittle the Moonlight Empire.

This will result in a poor public image, thus causing subsequent problems.

Bad public image has been the leading cause of the continent’s flow of wealth.

Just like the Divine Continent.

The continent should have huge potential, having the biggest population and land.

Yet because the gods are mostly xenophobic, continental trade has been lackluster.

Even the barely civilized Beast continent had more successful continental trade than them.

“You don’t need to worry about this; my main customers are those top forces.”

“What they want are items outside the dimension, not in this land.”

“As for others, it depends on whether they have foresight and invest in the future of the empire.”

If Maximus had the manpower to build those special architectures, then why not build more houses?

He didn’t need money; he needed people.

More houses mean more people.

He didn’t care about continental trade whatsoever.

Besides, how much money could his budding empire produce?

It may not even reach a millionth of his income, so why bother?

He was in a hurry to open the empire only to get more people in.

Especially those oppressed people in the Divine Continent and the wild people in the Beast Continent.

Maximus was eager to let them live in his land, giving him more Amalgamation of Will.

To achieve all of this, Maximus needed first to open the Moonlight Empire to the public.

If they didn’t even know about the Moonlight Empire, how could he seduce others inside?

Lux, seeing his father silent asks, “What about it, father? Would you delay the opening of the empire?”

Lux didn’t want to destroy his personal playground before he even had the chance to play.

Thus, despite returning to the Etherium Realm for vacation, Lux did his best to examine the empire’s shortcomings.

“Could I still backup?”

“I already promised your mothers that we’d get married in a few years.”

Maximus would also want to delay the opening of the empire for at least a few decades.

However, he had already made a promise.

Not wanting to disappoint his wives, Maximus could only do his best to address the empire’s shortcomings before judgment day.

“Oh,” hearing his father’s reasoning, Lux’s lips twitched.

What a solid reason.

What more could Lux say?

Could he still prevent the happiness of his parents?

The empire could be destroyed, not just his family’s smiles.

However, thinking of his father’s helplessness, Lux vowed never to find a wife in this life.
