Chapter 461: Simultaneous Resurrection
While watching the three finish their enhancement, Maximus looked around to see what had changed in the Etherium Realm.
“The mana density has increased.”
With the advancement of the Etherium Realm’s dimensional tier, the mana density was becoming higher and higher.
Compared to over a thousand years ago, the mana density now was up to 3 percent higher.
It might not seem much, but the Etherium Realm could advance to a tier 10 dimension with a little more push.
If the Etherium Realm absorbs the entirety of the Blood Ragnarok Realm, it will surely advance!
“The absorption and purification speed has also increased?”
All this time, Etheria was purifying and absorbing the abyss.
Just the abyss was enough to enhance the Etherium Realm up to a notch; unfortunately, because of its corrosive nature, it’s hard to absorb.
With the power of rules that came with the void battlefield, Etheria had now become a little stronger and more efficient.
“Hmm? Is this the soul and spirit origins of the deceased?” Maximus suddenly became solemn.
In the center of the void battlefield, Maximus saw floating transparent souls made of rules emerging from the land.
Sensing the fluctuation of their soul signatures, Maximus noticed that most of them were the people of the Blood Ragnarok Realm.
Septillions of once sentient living beings—even though they were the enemy, Maximus couldn’t help but feel solemn.
“You should enter reincarnation and start a new life in the Etherium Realm; this time, you will be my people…” Maximus muttered, using his dimensional authority to bless them.
These souls, after entering the cycle of reincarnation and harmonizing with the origin of the Etherium Realm, would be born with more luck and talent.
Casting his blessing, over a million origin fragments he reserved in the core of the Etherium Realm were quickly depleted.
Meanwhile, seeing the souls of sextillions of people from the Etherium Realm, Maximus was hesitant about what to do.
He thought that after being killed in the void battlefield, their soul, spirit, and origin imprints would be gone forever, with the only thing left is their will imprints condensed in his crystallized amalgamation of will.
Now that these soul, spirit, and origin imprints returned completely intact in the Etherium Realm, Maximus could easily resurrect them.
There wasn’t even much damage to their origin imprints, as they were only killed by lower-tier beings without the influence of laws.
Resurrecting them on the spot would be easy; the only problem was the cost.
A vessel that fully harmonizes with the origin imprints is too costly.
“Should I throw them in the reincarnation pool or resurrect them immediately?” Maximus mused.
Thinking about it, he finally made up his mind.
He had promised to resurrect them once he had enough power and ability.
Since he could easily do it now, why should he hesitate?
Mobilizing his dimensional authority, Maximus began sending the origin imprints near the places where they had been born.
Using hundreds of millions of origin fragments he stored in the core of the Etherium Realm, Maximus began re-condensing their souls and spirits, with the origin imprints left intact.
Afterwards, Maximus condensed their bodies, restoring their appearance, age, talent, potential—everything they previously possessed except for strength.
Condensing a mortal body was expensive enough; Maximus didn’t want to waste resources to restore them to their previous realms.
…
In one of the cities in the Moonlight Empire, Legarios, one of the first to die in the void battlefield, looked at his body doubtfully.
“Am I alive? What is happening?”
With a chaotic feeling, he looked around at the familiar place.
“I’m back in the Etherium Realm?! Could it be that I’m one of those protagonists?!” Legarios thought in excitement, remembering the fictional stories he had read before.
“My injuries are also healed!”
Despite feeling weak and becoming a mortal once again, he felt his body as light as a feather, with mana circulating on its own.
While Legarios contemplated the unprecedented path he was about to forge, he heard a voice calling behind him.
“Legarios, is that you?!”
“Hmm? Kevin? You’re alive?!”
“Hahaha, it’s you! I can’t believe I’m still alive! Are we in the Etherium Realm?! Could this be a miracle?!”
“This—” Hearing his excitement, Legarios felt both disappointed and relieved at the same time.
He was disappointed as he realized he wasn’t special and relieved because his friend was also resurrected.
Looking around, Legarios also saw the empty alley began to be filled with people in a daze, unable to believe the situation.
It seemed they were also warriors who had just died in the void battlefield.
Just as he was about to question what was happening, the Moonlight Empire system automatically bound them.
[Congratulations on returning to the Etherium Realm!
You’ve earned 1,054,182 Void Credits on the Void Battlefield. This resurrection cost you 1,000,000 Void Credits, leaving your balance at 54,182.
Please continue your efforts!]
“This—I’m resurrected!”
Understanding his situation, Legarios finally realized everything was real.
From the dimensional war and the cruel void battlefield to his resurrection, everything was as real as it could be.
“What about those who didn’t earn enough Void Credits?” Legarios questioned, thinking of his friends who died on the first day.
“They should have earned negative Void Credits…” Kevin chimed in from the side.
On his panel, it showed that he owed a whopping -192,000 Void Credits, diminishing his joy at being resurrected.
“Hahaha, it’s better to be alive!” Legarios comforted.
Fighting a desperate battle with the Blood Ragnarok Realm, they thought it was their end.
Learning they could be resurrected; they felt an unprecedented fighting spirit.
If possible, they wanted to return to the void battlefield and have a hearty fight.
While they were celebrating such a miraculous resurrection, the appearance of sextillions of people who were supposed to be in the void battlefield caused a stir.
Hearing they were resurrected after being killed in the void battlefield, most felt excitement.
Since they could be resurrected, wasn’t it just like a game?
Furthermore, if they could fight and kill more, they could also earn Void Credits.
Unfortunately, their happiness, thinking the war was a mere child’s play, was dashed after learning the value of each Void Credit.
A Void Credit was valued at 1 Dimensional Coin or a million Magic Crystals.
Such wealth was unimaginable for them.
If they died without doing anything, a million Void Credits in debt was enough to plunge them into despair.
Before they could pay off the Void Credits they owed, they had no human rights.
First, all their income and earnings would be cut by 99%; second, they had to do 12 hours of labor every day; third, they weren’t allowed to buy any property; fourth… fifth… sixth…
Too many new regulations quickly crushed their dreams.
…
A few years later, after resurrecting sextillions of people who had died in the void battlefield, Maximus felt a little exhausted.
“This is too much work. I need to implement more death prevention in the future!”
Maximus felt that fighting was easier than this tiring job.
Resurrecting sextillions of people on the spot was no different than directly creating living beings from scratch.
Furthermore, looking at the cost, he couldn’t help but cringe.
“1.3 billion origin fragments!”
Over the 700 years, the income from the Origin Library reached a staggering 100 million origin coins annually.
After a long time, his balance reached over 30 billion origin coins.
10 billion origin coins were in the core of the Etherium Realm for it to absorb and for emergencies.
The remaining 20 billion were stored for various expenses—from cultivation resources, ultimate treasures, experiments, leisure, etc.
Spending 1.3 billion origin coins at once, despite his frugality over the hundreds of years, made Maximus’s heartache.
“This is necessary…” Maximus comforted himself.
With hope, the people of the Etherium Realm could fight more vigorously, ensuring their victory.
Knowing they could be resurrected, they would not feel fear and would charge through the enemy regardless of anything.
With indomitable spirit, no matter how strong the enemy is, they would never back down.
The only problem was the cost.
If such casualties continued, Maximus felt that 10 billion origin coins wouldn’t be enough.
A war that was supposed to be a battlefield of wit and strength had become a battle of money in the blink of an eye.
The billions of origin coins he spent were worth more than the Etherium Realm.
If Maximus wasn’t nostalgic, he could buy a few tier 10 dimensions with a billion origin coins alone.
Shaking off such depressing thoughts, he focused on the upcoming Void Auction.
It’s been almost a thousand years since the last Void Auction.
“A few more years, and it’s time to spend money again…” Maximus mused, wondering what extraordinary treasures he could buy this time.
First, the tier 9 ultimate treasure, Maximus, couldn’t let go of any of it.
Although the world tree could condense such treasure, it took a hundred years each.
Second is the infinite expansion treasure; there is only some low-tier of such treasure in the market, which is not to his satisfaction.
Third is some dimensional treasure for the Etherium Realm.
He felt Etherium Realm was still too weak and could not keep up with his progress.
Fourth is a strong tier 11 slave which he planned to be his guard before going in other dimensions.
Thinking of all the things he needed, he felt the billion he spent was nothing.
“I hope my money is enough…”
