Novel Full Chapter 584: Seeds of Power
In the Enemy Main Outpost:
After months of receiving no reply, the top leaders of each force confirmed the death of their reconnaissance army.
“This is much harder than we thought…”
Although the reconnaissance army they had sent out was not strong in battle, they excelled in stealth and escaping.
To be killed without even sending back a message, they could only conclude that the Shadowcrest Family was far stronger than they had imagined.
“What do we do now?”
“Send more people. I don’t believe a mere Shadowcrest Family has the ability to eliminate all our men without leaving behind any trace of information.”

In the Etherium Realm Void Territory:
“There are more this time?”
A few years after eliminating the enemy, another troop arrived in the Etherium Realm’s territory.
This time, learning from past mistakes, they were far more cautious, not daring to venture into the range of the Source of Knowledge.
“Trouble…”
Without them stepping into the range of the Source of Knowledge, Maximus wasn’t certain he could prevent all of them from escaping.
“Don’t worry, Dad. We’ll take care of this one,” Lily said with a confident smile, seeing her father’s concern.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Seeing his daughter’s concern, he no longer worried about the Source of Knowledge’s ability to isolate being discovered.
After all, it was merely a cheap trick he had developed through the conjunction of his system.
Watching his daughter leave, Maximus turned his attention to the Seed of Path in his hands.
“Sixteen Seeds of Path… How marvelous,” Maximus mused with a smile.
Maximus had deliberately made a high-profile move to provoke this war—for the Seeds of Path.
To deduce a Seed of Path, he not only needed strands of the desired path but also thousands to tens of thousands of years to fully decipher it.
However, by using the lives of the Masters of the River of Law to condense everything they had learned about their paths, Maximus could deduce a Seed of Path in mere months.
Although he couldn’t absorb their Rivers of Law, deducing their paths was more than enough.
Looking at the Seeds of Path, Maximus held himself back.
It would attract even more attention if he merged these with the Source of Knowledge.
Turning back to his daughters, who were fighting multiple Masters of the River of Law with ease through seamless teamwork, Maximus couldn’t help but smile.
“This is how you fight! You fight as a family! Don’t be reckless next time,” Maximus reprimanded Max.
Almost dying due to his recklessness, Maximus was still a little angry.
“Yes, Father…”
As the fight dragged on, realizing they were no match for the Shadowcrest daughters, the enemy began using all their incredible abilities to escape.
Without the suppression of the Source of Knowledge, even with Lily and the others’ excellent abilities, two or three still managed to escape.
“We let you down, Father,” his daughters apologized.
“Don’t worry. I already expected this outcome. You still did great, killing most of them.”
Maximus acknowledged the remarkable escaping abilities of the reconnaissance army.
If it had been him in the past, he might not even manage to kill one of them.
Consoling his daughters, they remained on high alert for any future enemy incursions.
Of course, this didn’t delay the construction of the Tier 12 Dimensional Array.
Clearing the area of enemies, the workers in charge of the site returned to resume their tasks.

In the Enemy Main Outpost:
After hearing the news from their subordinates, their faces finally brightened.
“So it is! I didn’t expect that a Source of Knowledge could suppress others to this degree!” Shenri muttered in admiration.
A mere River of Law suppressing all others at the same level—it could be said that Maximus was truly worthy of the title The Supreme Primordial Candidate.
Even a Master of an Ocean of Law might not be able to suppress a Master of the River of Law to the extent that they couldn’t escape.
“Now that we understand what’s killing our subordinates, it’s time to change the plan.” Explore more at m,v l’e-NovelFull.net
Nodding in tacit understanding, they began mobilizing all the manpower they could gather.

A Few Years Later…
Just when they thought the enemy had given up, a blaring alarm echoed through the Etherium Void Outpost.
“We are surrounded!”
“1… 20… 50… 100… 200… 500… 1,000… There are over 1,500 Masters of the River of Law!”
“This—!”
Surrounded by over a thousand enemies, the members of the Order of Maxim went pale.
With fewer than 50 Masters of the River of Law among them, the odds seemed insurmountable.
As despair began to creep in, Liam’s voice echoed in their ears.
“Don’t be nervous! Everything is under control! My father, Maximus Shadowcrest, is still here!”
Hearing this, a wave of calm instantly spread through their ranks.
That’s right!
They still had the Supreme Primordial Candidate—the Pioneer of Knowledge, the Great Maximus Shadowcrest.
Meanwhile, in contrast to their mixed emotions, Maximus wore a smile.
“What a sect and families~,”
Sending him such a feast—how could he not be delighted?
Although it would take a long time and a lot of effort to ‘digest’ this, Maximus welcomed everyone to the fray.
“What do we do now, Father? Should we get going?” Max asked eagerly.
After recovering, he felt invigorated and ready for more battles.
“I can’t fight this battle. It would break the balance…” Maximus shook his head.
Once he appeared on the battlefield and disrupted the balance, the Masters of the Ocean of Law would surely intervene.
Although this would happen sooner or later, the longer this stalemate lasted, the more advantageous it was for him.
The stage of the dimensional war was still in its testing phase.
By revealing his strength bit by bit, Maximus could maximize his harvest.
“But—how can we fight without you, Dad?” Lyla, who was also eager to fight, froze at the realization.
Taking on over a thousand Masters of the River of Law on their own—even she felt afraid.
“Don’t worry. You have the Source of Knowledge acting as a natural barrier.”
“Their numbers won’t matter much on such a battlefield.”
“Is that so…”
