The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Maximus stayed in the Ashura Sect for ten years, teaching Max and the others in his spare time.

He also copied the Ashura Sect's foundational manual for later study.

All of the foundational manuals of these top sects had had a top-level inscription, and even with Maximus's tier 10 inscription proficiency, he couldn't crack them.

Although he could read the words, they became garbled as soon as he looked away.

Even the system, a tier 12 treasure that could directly scan knowledge, didn't fully work.

When it scanned the words, they also turned garbled in the system's data storage.

He also tried using the Seal of Truth to decode the words, but unfortunately, it was too inefficient.

Maximus estimated it would take a few epochs to completely deduce the foundational manual.

Maximus considered using Lilith's eyes to decode these foundational manuals.

The Primordial Origin Eyes could see the essence of things, so the words should automatically arrange themselves in Lilith's eyes.

During the rest of his time, Maximus was scanning tier 10 knowledge stored in the Ashura Sect.

He already had free access to all knowledge in the Dimensional Alliance from tiers 0-9.

For tier 10, seeing the unique fighting skills of the Ashura Sect, Maximus went on a copying spree.

Unfortunately, even after ten years of non-stop work, Maximus barely copied 10 percent of the Ashura Sect's reserves.

Since he didn't have direct access to the Ashura Sect library, he had to copy it through Max and the others, which led to inefficiency.

Saying goodbye to the kids and telling them to hurry to the Hell Realm to contact their mothers, Maximus let Jixie open a Void Portal to the Eternal Sect.

Eternal Realm:

"What a huge mountain..." Maximus commented.

The Eternal Realm was like a massive mountain floating in the void.

Due to its vastness, even in the unobstructed void, Maximus could barely make out its complete form.

Maximus was sure of one thing: the Eternal Realm was the largest dimension he had ever seen.

Entering the Eternal Realm, Maximus didn't encounter any problems.

The Eternal Realm was a famous destination spot and a renowned competition ground for a variety of professions, from alchemy, forging, array formation, music, puzzles, building, race, etc.

Looking at the magnificent place, Maximus felt his eyes open up.

Having visited the Immortal Palace Realm, the Ashura Realm, and now the Eternal Real, Maximus realized the Etherium Realm was truly lacking.

He would have wanted to explore the place more if he hadn't been in a hurry to find Neo and Aria to check on their safety.

Soon, under the guidance of the Seal of Truth, Maximus quickly found their exact location.

Unfortunately, when he was about to take a teleportation array directly to Neo's residence, he was stopped.

"The place you're heading to is the disciples' ground. Unless you're a sect member or a relative, you can't go."

"Relative? I am a relative, but how do you verify it?"

"You say you're connected to Neo Shadowcrest, the one living on Swan Peak? I just need a drop of blood to confirm," the guard said straightforwardly.

Blood contains physique signatures, energy signatures, and spirit signatures.

With more advanced sensing devices, one can also determine one's origin with just a drop of blood.

Knowing this, Maximus readily gave them a drop of his blood.

"It's positive. You are connected to Neo Shadowcrest within one generation.

Here's your guest pass. You can stay on Swan Peak for a maximum of a hundred years; if you want to stay longer, you'll need to renew the pass," the guard explained.

"Thank you."

Taking the teleportation array, Maximus arrived at Swan Peak in just a moment.

"This teleportation array is superb," Maximus muttered in admiration.

A Void Teleportation and a typical teleportation array are different.

A Void Teleportation wouldn't encounter any barriers in the void and could travel as far as possible, needing only extra energy.

However, a typical teleportation array within a dimension encounters various barriers, from the environment, energy atmosphere, various fluctuations, and the density of dimensional space.

To travel anywhere in such a vast dimension with just a single teleportation array, Maximus felt nothing but admiration.

The one he took was probably a modified tier 12 array that only the Eternal Sect possessed.

Looking at the barrier array on the peak before him, Maximus tried to knock by sending his spiritual signature.

"A tier 12 formation? It's quite solid," Maximus commented on the extravagance of the sect.

Even his castle in the Moonlight Empire only had a peak tier 11 array barrier.

Soon after Maximus sent his spiritual signature, a swan flew out and landed before him.

"Who are you?" the swan asked.

"I am Maximus Shadowcrest, Neo Shadowcrest's father. I'm here to visit him," Maximus said, showing the identity pass given to him by the guard earlier.

"Father? Neo and the miss are still in deep sleep. Please pardon me," the swan said, bowing respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to check their condition."

"That's fine; I'll take you to their chamber."

Confirming that Maximus was his master's father, the swan didn't have any guard up.

Furthermore, this was the territory of the Eternal Sect.

If a tier 9 individual could run rampant and even harm their disciples, then the Eternal Sect would be willing to quit and be hailed as a failure.

Soon, Maximus arrived at the fairy-like residence.

Looking inside, he saw Neo and Aria deeply asleep on a cloud-like mattress.

"Cultivating?" Maximus muttered, seeing the vast energy flowing to the two of them.

Although it couldn't be seen with the naked eye, the two were like black holes, sucking in the energy around them.

"Is this the unique foundational manual of the Eternal Sect?" Maximus guessed.

Curious about how it worked, he slowly investigated Neo and Aria.

A few days later, not finding anything substantial, Maximus sighed.

"The foundational manual of a top sect is really not something I can easily decipher," Maximus thought.

Mobilizing some energy, he fired it at the two of them.

After studying for a few days, he knew a protective film was guarding Neo and Aria.

According to the Seal of Truth's deductions, depending on their mastery, this film could even block a tier 12 attack.

Unfortunately, no matter the intensity, it would shatter after blocking a single attack.

Disturbed in their state, Neo and Aria hurriedly woke up.

"Is it morning already? I still want to sleep a little longer," Neo muttered unconsciously.

Meanwhile, Aria had already woken up. Seeing her father-in-law watching them, she felt embarrassed.

"Husband, your father is here, wake up!"

"Father? How could my father be here? Don't joke around just to wake me up," Neo muttered with his eyes closed.

"Husband! Husband! Wake up!" Aria quickly shook Neo, seeing her father-in-law's stern face.

"Alright, alright, I'll wake up. Geez, is there something we need to do today?" Neo said in dissatisfaction as he rubbed his eyes.

"Huh? Am I hallucinating? Why is my father here?"

"Not awake yet?" Maximus muttered coldly, finally having enough.

He had traveled all the way here from the other side of the Aeon Plane only to find his son peacefully sleeping, not even bothering to wake up.

"F-father! What are you doing here?" Neo asked nervously.

"Do you know how long you've slept?"

"A few years?" Neo said, unsure of the time.

"You've slept for over a hundred years!"

"What? A hundred years?" Neo and Aria muttered in shock.

They thought they had only slept for a few years at most; they didn't expect it had been over a hundred years.

No wonder their father came all the way here.

"It must be because we broke through the mastery of the foundational manual the Eternal Sect gave us," Neo reasoned, feeling the massive amount of energy in his body.

Neo felt that with just a little push, he could advance to the tier 10 realm if he wanted.

"You're quite careless. You didn't even remind your servant to wake you up if you slept too much?!"

"This—" Neo was a little embarrassed.

In the beginning, Neo was still regularly woken up by his servants.

But as time passed, Neo felt it was a bother and instructed them to only take care of the Swan Peak.

Sleeping using the foundational manual was not only a blissful experience; once you woke up, you would also be stronger, which Neo found a bit addictive.

"Hmph, don't you know how worried your mother and I were? Do you want to sleep until the end of the world? How did you become this lazy? Should I make you work for a hundred years to make up for the time you wasted?"

After scolding Neo for a whole hour, Maximus finally vented his anger.

"I'm sorry, father. I'll wake up every month or so from now on," Neo promised.

"Every few months?!"

"No? Then how about every week?"

"Do you want to suffer some punishment? From now on, you will sleep only 8 hours a day and be awake for the rest of the day!" Maximus said.

Although sleeping is indeed conducive to fast training, it could also cause a lack of foundation.

If Neo and Aria didn't study the laws of the world, then what were they training for?

"I understand..." Neo sighed, thinking of his bleak future.

"You watch him for me, Aria. If he sleeps more than 8 hours a day, I'll punish him."

"I promise to supervise Neo!" Aria quickly said.

"That's good..."
