The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

While the Ring of Origin was attracting the attention of Tier 9 and Tier 10 powerhouses, Maximus quickly gathered the Absolutes.

From the Etherium Realm, Chaos Dimension, Shadow Void Land, even Valoros, who was managing the distribution of the Ring of Origin, was present.

“What is the problem, Maximus? Did something happen?”

Feeling the solemn atmosphere, the Absolutes couldn’t help but worry.

Summoning all of them for a meeting, they could only assume something big had happened.

“It’s the Dark Disaster.”

“Dark Disaster? What do you mean? Isn’t it still a few epochs away?”

According to the deductions of the Overlords, it would still be a while before the Dark Disaster invaded the Aeon Plane.

“It has advanced. According to my reliable source, we only have 7 million years before the Dark Beasts launch a full-scale invasion.”

“7 million years? How is that possible?”

“Where did you get this information? Did you hear it wrong?”

“That’s right. Don’t you mean 700 million years?”

“7 million years is a massive shift from the previous estimate.”

The Absolutes began to argue, thinking Maximus had made a mistake.

They couldn’t accept such a drastic change, from a few epochs to just a few million years.

“It’s real. I even confirmed it myself…” Maximus sighed.

After hearing Mira’s warning, Maximus ran his own deduction.

Knowing there were invisible cracks in the Aeon Plane, it became easier to detect them, confirming the problem.

With this information, he even deduced that the first wave of the Dark Disaster would hit in a million years as the Dark Beasts would begin to invade the Dark Void Domain on a massive scale.

“Huh~ This is simply impossible!”

Still in disbelief, they began questioning how Maximus had come to such a conclusion.

Shaking his head, Maximus showed them the invisible cracks spreading across the Aeon Plane.

Pouring over and crushing a few pieces of plane origin, the usually invisible cracks began to appear.

“This—”

“What are these cracks?!”

“Is this real?”

Thinking they were hallucinating, they mobilized all their power, closely examining the cracks.

“It’s plane cracks…”

Like microfractures in glass under pressure, although invisible to the naked eye, they were a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

With the rate at which the Dark Beasts grew, instead of a few epochs, it would only take a few million years before the Aeon Plane shattered from within.

By then, the Dark Beasts could attack from all directions, triggering the Dark Disaster that could destroy the Aeon Plane.

Facing this reality, the Absolutes had despair written all over their faces.

Just when they thought things were heading in the right direction, disaster struck.

Given a few epochs, even if they couldn’t advance to the Overlord Realm, they could still reach their peak with Maximus’ nearly endless resources.

Now robbed of that time, the future looked bleak.

A few million years was just a blink of an eye. Knowing the Dark Disaster was only a breath away, they felt hopeless.

“What plan do you have in mind, Lord Maximus?” Valoros asked from the side.

Having followed Maximus for years, Valoros knew he wouldn’t waste time like this unless he had a solid plan.

Instead of creating the Rings of Origin or gathering the Absolutes, wouldn’t it be better to prepare for escape?

With Maximus’ ability, leaving the Aeon Plane shouldn’t be a problem.

Meanwhile, hearing Valoros’ question, the absolute powerhouses in the room couldn’t help but turn to Maximus.

“A plan? Sure, there is one. The Tower of Knowledge. Whether we can survive the Dark Disaster or not depends on it,” Maximus muttered, pointing at the towering structure at the center of the Shadow Void Land.

“The Tower of Knowledge? Isn’t it just a collection of books and practice rooms?”

Although they knew the Tower of Knowledge was unusual, it only had auxiliary abilities.

“Of course not. How could something I created be simple?”

In Maximus’ grand blueprint, the Tower of Knowledge wasn’t just a place to study and practice.

It was the center of everything, from support, attack, and defense—an ultimate structure that would surpass everything else in the Aeon Plane.

“What can it do besides impart knowledge and help us absorb unlimited energy? Can you enlighten us?”

“Hmm. First is time acceleration. As long as it has enough energy, I can accelerate time for anyone who hasn’t forged their path of law—by 100 to even 1,000 times!”

“That’s it?”

They already knew Maximus possessed the Chronos Hourglass, which could accelerate the time of every matter.

However, accelerating the path of law was a different matter.

It required a special kind of energy beyond origin energy and the power of causality.

“No. For us, it might not help much. But for those who haven’t forged their path of law, it’s like a factory that could mass-produce powerhouses,” one of the Absolutes deduced.

“It seems you’re catching on. That’s right. Although it can’t accelerate our practice directly, it can help create more helpers for us.”

“The Dark Beasts’ strength doesn’t lie in their power, but their numbers. With enough manpower, the pressure they put on us would be less.”

“Furthermore, who said it can’t accelerate our path of law? Once I finish my research, I can even accelerate the time of our practice.”

Hearing Maximus’ words, the Absolutes couldn’t help but be enlightened.

Indeed, what made the Dark Beasts terrifying was their overwhelming numbers.

If they could match them in quantity, then their quality would carry the battle.

And hearing that Maximus might be able to speed up their own practice, they felt unprecedented excitement.

Accelerating the growth of Absolutes went against the natural laws of the Aeon Plane.

“However, this still isn’t enough. We lack the time to fully realize such ambition.”

Even if the Tower of Knowledge could accelerate time, it couldn’t completely make up for what they were missing.

“I know. What I told you was just one of its auxiliary functions. There are still its attack and defense abilities.”

“Attack and defense? What are they?”

“Let’s just say this, when the Tower of Knowledge is complete, it’ll be able to attack and defend against a Tier 13 Dark Beast like it’s nothing…”
