The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 497: A Thousand Years of Preparation

"Take a loan? No, this is impossible. We would never allow a loan this big!"

This is hundreds of trillions of origin coins, not just a few million.

"Then can I pay with strands of causality of power?"

"How much?"

"A million strands…"

"Please, don't joke with me, Lord Shadowcrest. You should know that different strengths convert Origin Fragments at different levels."

A Tier 11 individual mastering the Ocean of Law can convert a strand of causality using only a few thousand origin fragments at most, while someone with a river of law needs at least a million strands.

Unless Maximus paid hundreds of millions of origin fragments, Morlov would never accept the deal.

"Can I really not take a loan? I'm a guest elder of the Immortal Palace Sect; you should give me some leeway," Maximus negotiated.

If only given some time, much less a few hundred trillion, he would even be willing to pay quadrillions of origin coins.

"No. Unless you have consent from a Supreme Leader, I couldn't give it to you," Morlov explained helplessly.

"Oh? Consent from a Supreme Leader?"

"Yes, as long as there's consent with a Supreme Leader's imprint, I could make you a loan valid for a million years."

"I see. Then give me a moment…" Maximus muttered, opening a portal to the Immortal Palace Realm.

…

With a direct connection between the two top forces, the spatial transfer didn't have any delay.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you busy?" Iris asked, sounding like an abandoned girl.

Maximus hadn't seen her for hundreds of years.

If not for the occasional chats between them, Iris might have thought Maximus had disappeared after taking her money.

"Yes, I just exited seclusion. Didn't I come straight to you?" Maximus said truthfully.

Indeed, although he had played with his wives and gone to the Mechanical Alliance, not much time had passed since he exited seclusion.

Feeling that Maximus was telling the truth, Iris couldn't help but be touched.

However, looking at his eyes, it seemed he needed something from her.

"Come on, your sister is in a good mood. Tell me what you want."

"Um, I want to get a guarantee from Sister Iris so I can take a loan from the Mechanical Alliance."

"Hmm, how much is it?"

"A few hundred trillion origin coins…"

"So much? What are you using that for?"

Even for the Immortal Palace Realm, that was hundreds of years of revenue.

"I bought a void ship."

"I see. It seems the ship you wanted is extraordinary. Here is my seal. As long as you show this, it should be alright," Iris said, giving him the seal without asking more questions.

"Thank you, Sister Iris. I owe you again."

"As long as you call me sister, there's no need to fuss over these matters."

"Hmm, then I'll leave for now. I'll come back again once this matter is done."

"See you soon…"

Looking at Iris one last time, Maximus returned to the Mechanical Alliance.

Initially, he had wanted to invite Iris on his trip to the void.

However, thinking of the difference in their strength, he knew he couldn't control such a tigress.

It might even undermine his plan to collect corrupt causality of power.

…

Returning to the Mechanical Alliance, Maximus showed Morlov the seal given to him by Iris.

"This is indeed genuine. Since you have the guarantee of Supreme Leader Iris, you are eligible for a loan valid for a million years," Morlov sighed.

Their transaction initially didn't have much profit, and now, with a loan involved, Morlov felt his future performance looked bleak.

After signing the deal with Maximus, their transaction was complete.

In the agreement, Maximus had to pay 650 trillion in a million years; otherwise, they would seize all his assets and take action against the Immortal Palace Realm.

They signed under the contract of the Dimensional Alliance, so even with the disparity in strength, they weren't afraid the Immortal Palace Realm would default on payment.

After going through various processes and discussing the interior design of the ship, Maximus returned to the Etherium Realm.

The ship would take a thousand years to build, and only then would they venture into the void.

Maximus still had much to do before that happened.

Seeing that his wives were still busy with their tasks, Maximus told them the good news.

"You bought a hundred-trillion void ship?!" they muttered in shock.

They couldn't even fathom how many origin coins that were.

One had to know that the majority of Tier 10 individuals didn't even have a few origin coins in their pockets.

"This is for the safety of our trip. After all, we're not just venturing from dimension to dimension, but into ruins and battlefields."

"This—"

Hearing Maximus's solemn tone, they couldn't help but worry as their excitement was dampened.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll keep you safe."

"What should we do, husband? We want to help too."

"There's a lot to do. First is our supply. Unless we're in a dimension, we can't shop in the virtual realm."

"Second is our living space. The ship is too small and not suitable for long-term stays. I plan to renovate the dimension inside my World Tree as our living quarters."

"Third, we must strengthen ourselves as much as possible and prepare for any danger."

Hearing his instructions, his wives suddenly became serious, as if receiving a holy order.

Going to the Virtual Realm, they took Maximus's bank account and went on a shopping spree.

Knowing they couldn't shop in the void, they went wild, buying everything they thought they would need.

From Tier 10 materials, training resources, unique foods, potions, treasures, and more.

Some also went inside Maximus's World Tree and started designating void ants to begin working.

They even brought out the architectural masters Maximus bought and began renovating the World Tree in a grand manner.

The void ants can sort the World Tree; the renovation for inhabiting required a human touch.

In full gear, they felt more motivated than ever before.

In their spare time, they didn't forget to train, comprehending the Tier 10 origin manual Maximus gave them.

Feeling fulfilled every hour and day of their lives, they couldn't help but smile.

They only had a thousand years before departure; they couldn't waste a single second.

…

Meanwhile, as they stayed busy, Maximus was deducing the origin sequence of Alice, the fiancée of Lux from the Elfalhn race.

He planned to perfect the origin rules in the World Tree before leaving.

This would not only be their living space but also their future training ground.

Even a small imperfection could sabotage their path in the long run.

Maximus was also interested in how the Elfalhn race cultivated the River of Law through the World Tree.

If Maximus could replicate it, his path to becoming a master of an Ocean of Law would be smooth sailing.

Running short on time, Maximus began using precious causality points to deduce the advancements of the World Tree.

In turn, his comprehension of the River of Law passively advanced.

Though he was still at 5% mastery, Maximus felt he was getting closer to another percentage.

Motivated by the future, it took him three hundred years to deduce the perfect sequence for the origin of laws in the World.

Opening his eyes, a smile couldn't help but form on his lips.

"What an interesting World Tree…"

The cycle of origin of laws to perfect the World Tree was like the sequence making up a River of Law.

This meant perfecting the World Tree was akin to creating an artificial River of Law.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of causality of power from the Aeon Plane, it was incomplete.

However, the sequence of origin of law in the world tree was enough to massively boost the formation of an Ocean of law.

Understanding this, Maximus felt his insight and knowledge of the world increase.

Unknowingly, his mastery of the River of Knowledge progressed further, reaching 6%.

"So, what I need is not just knowledge, but the comprehension of the world through that knowledge…" Maximus was enlightened.

Smiling, he checked the progress of his wives' refurbishment of the dimension inside the World Tree.

Looking at the neat plants, trees, undulating rock formations, pavilions, training grounds, laboratories, leisure grounds, farms, natural formations, and more, Maximus couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"It seems they worked hard…"

Just one look, and Maximus fell in love with the arrangement inside the World Tree.

So neat and proper, everything they needed and might need was in place.

Even the scattered small worlds and treasures were specially positioned to exert their maximum function.

Like a paradise, Maximus couldn't resist touring the world.

"Husband! How is the place?" Isabella, who was busy with construction, asked seeing him.

"Not bad. It's a perfect abode for our journey to come."

With hints of architecture and scenery from the Etherium Realm, they could reminisce if they ever missed their home dimension.

"It's not yet the final iteration; we're still buying materials from the Virtual Realm, and some areas are still empty."

"Don't work too hard."

"No, we'll build this world as a true paradise, exclusive only to us. It will be a unique attraction even in the entirety of the Aeon Plane!"

"Then I look forward to your grand plan…"
