Novel Full Chapter 492: Celebratory Feast
A few days later, all members of the Shadowcrest family, both direct descendants and in-laws, gathered for a celebratory feast.
It had been thousands of years since they last came together to celebrate.
From his wives’ families to the relatives of his sons’ wives, they gathered to reminisce about the past and discuss current events.
Turning to his son Lux, Maximus noticed the new addition to the family.
“Is this Alice?” Maximus greeted her with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Alice,” she said formally, regaining the poised demeanor of the Elfalhn race.
“No need to be so formal—we’re family now.”
“It’s only right. I’m fortunate to have met Lux.”
“Don’t be humble—it’s Lux who’s lucky to have met you. Here, take this as a welcoming gift,” Maximus said, handing her a revised tier 9 origin manual and a piece of the World Tree containing all the essence of laws.
As for the tier 10 origin manual, Maximus still hadn’t had the time to revise one even for his family.
“Thank you, Father~” Alice responded happily.
This was why she agreed to marry Lux—the key to reaching the pinnacle of the world.
“Haha, no problem, enjoy your stay here. In a while, I’ll come to the Elfalhn Dimension to plan the wedding,” Maximus chuckled as he walked toward Lilith.
“How is it? Did you copy her physique?”
“Yes. No wonder they’re one of the top races in the world. Their origin chain is a hundred times more complex than that of the Eryndor race.”
“That’s only for now. With each generation of Eryndors inheriting from the last, the strongest Eryndors will eventually be born.”
“Oh~ By the way, why did you need Elfalhn Race origin chain?”
“It’s for the World Tree. It’s not perfect yet. Since we have such a high-quality specimen, why not use it?”
Although the World Tree possessed all the origins of laws, it didn’t harmonize like a bunch of mess scattered in a room.
It was just a container, possessing the origin of laws but not their essence.
By studying Alice’s physique, Maximus hoped to find a breakthrough and push the World Tree further.
Even though the Origin Manual had limit-breaking abilities, he was still too weak.
If he only relied on its passive ability, it might take billions of epochs to perfect the World Tree.
Soon, the celebration continued with food, drinks, and endless conversations.
A few days later, with the feast still ongoing, the tier 10 solution Maximus had been brewing was completed.
Together with his wives, Maximus tested the liquid solution.
“Hmm? A success?” Maximus muttered, feeling the energy surging through his body.
“It has the same efficiency as the tier 9 liquid solution!”
The tier 9 liquid solution could multiply one strand of causality of power into a hundred.
With the tier 10 liquid solution not losing the efficiency despite them being at a higher, tier it’s a success.
“The tier 10 liquid solution is complete! I didn’t expect we would deduce it so quickly!”
After working for over a thousand years, Hazel and the others thought they wouldn’t create the potion without hundreds of thousands of years of research.
They didn’t expect that with just a few tweaks from their husband, they could complete the potion in just a few years.
It seemed that after reaching the tier 10 realm, their husband had grown not only in physical strength but also in his ability to create.
With the newly brewed tier 10 solution, their path toward the tier 11 realm would be smooth.
They only needed enough strands causality, and they could advance to tier 11 without issue.
Feeling happy, Maximus shared the liquid solution with the guests, offering it as a drink and wine.
“What kind of drink is this? My realm is progressing rapidly!”
“I feel the same! Moreover, it’s smooth—there’s no feeling of bloating.”
The liquid solution could be taken by any tier, the only difference is how much they could absorb before the energy dissipated.
“My daughter’s husband is truly amazing, to have even created this,” one of Maximus’ in-laws commented, feeling their strength surging.
Thanks to their connection to the Shadowcrest family, his wives’ families had risen to the top of the Etherium Realm.
All kinds of resources, opportunities, skills, and conveniences were available to them.
After thousands of years, even without immense talent, most had reached the tier 8 realm.
With the advancement of the Etherium Realm, it was only a matter of time before they reached the tier 9 realm and achieved immortality.
It could be said that by joining the Shadowcrest family, they had ascended to heaven in a single step.
Alice, meanwhile, was not overly impressed as she drank the tier 10 solution.
For her, breaking the limitations of the World Tree was the greatest miracle.
A mere liquid solution, something that could be purchased from the Mechanical Alliance or the Alchemy Alliance, was not worth mentioning.
Fealan, on the other hand, was in shock and hurriedly drank all the liquid solution in his glass.
Having left Alabaster and Readius in the dimensional war, he thought they would only be having a feast.
Fealan didn’t expect to discover such a heaven-defying resource.
Drinking the solution was millions of times more effective than absorbing origin fragments.
“Where did you get this? Can you get more?” Fealan asked eagerly.
“Drink all you want. As for where it’s from—I made it myself.”
“You made it yourself? How is that possible?!”
“Nothing is impossible.”
“Then can I purchase some from you?”
“No, this is a precious resource. Take advantage of it now—you’ll never drink it again,” Maximus teased.
Although the tier 10 liquid solution had the same efficiency as the tier 9 solution, the materials needed reached tier 10.
Each drop of the solution was essentially the essence of hundreds of thousands of tier 10 materials.
Maximus couldn’t even fully supply his children, so how could he give it to Fealan?
“I see,” Fealan sighed.
However, considering Maximus’ rapid progress in strength, it was only a matter of time before his son-in-law could afford to show him some filial piety.
After discussing the solution, Fealan began recounting the state of the dimensional war.
It had been over a hundred years since they opened a void portal to the Blood Ragnarok Realm, but according to Fealan, they hadn’t made much progress in conquering the enemy.
“Did the outside world interfere?” Maximus asked, frowning.
Based on his estimates, the Blood Ragnarok Realm should have been severely suppressed.
Not to mention the lower and mid-tier powers, even comparing tier 10 individuals, the Blood Ragnarok Realm had only a few, while they had hundreds.
The only issue was the pseudo-tier 11 dimensional master of the Blood Ragnarok Realm.
However, with the tier 11 warrior Maximus had bought watching the enemy, there shouldn’t have been any problems.
As for direct intervention, it wasn’t possible.
A dimension could only employ a warrior one rank higher than the lowest dimensional tier of both sides.
With the Blood Ragnarok Realm only being a tier 9 dimension, they could only employ a tier 10 warrior at most.
“First, there are numerous pseudo-tier 9 powerhouses in the Blood Ragnarok Realm. These people didn’t appear in the past because the void battlefield could only accommodate tier 8 warriors at most.”
“Second, since we’re in another dimension, we’re suppressed and unable to exert our full strength.
“Third, we’re also facing foreign enemies. According to our investigations, they belong to a first-rate force second only to the top sects and families. It’s called the Pantheon Alliance.”
“If not for the trump card you left us, the Blood Ragnarok Realm might have invaded us, not the other way around,” Fealan sighed.
“The Pantheon Alliance, huh? This is indeed troublesome…” Maximus frowned, thinking about the connection between the Blood Ragnarok Realm and the Pantheon Alliance.
“Do you have a plan?”
“Leave it to me. I’ll handle things. You three just be ready for the clean-up,” Maximus said confidently.
After a few seconds of deduction, gathering information about the Pantheon Alliance, he discovered that the dimensional master of the Blood Ragnarok Realm, Grimnir was the child of one of the core members of the Alliance.
Fortunately, the situation wasn’t too dire. The father of Grimnir was only a mere tier 11 powerhouse.
Not being a Master of Law, even if Grimnir’s father directly faced Maximus, he could take him down in a few strikes.
As for offending the Pantheon Alliance, as long as he was in the right, they wouldn’t dare to act.
Behind him were three top forces from the Aeon Plane: the Immortal Palace Sect, the Sterling Family, and the Elfalhn Race.
If they tried to bully him with numbers, he would show them what true influence was.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lux and Alice, awkwardly showing affection for each other.
The two were inexperienced in relationships, interacting only for the sake of their so-called pursuits.
One sacrificed herself for power, while the other sacrificed himself for money.
Each pursuing their own goals, they endured the discomfort, hoping to maintain their relationship.
“This is also another side of relationships…”
