Soon, the time continued to pass in a hurry.
From the 140,000th trial, Maximus blaze through the challenges, rushing through the 160,000th trial in just a few decades.
Although the difficulty became hellish, for Maximus, it only felt slightly troublesome.
[Generating the 160,001st trial: Void Origin Law.]
"Finally, a supreme law, the Origin of Void…"
The Supreme Laws were the roots of all laws, each defined by a single character.
Gazing at the boundless void before him, Maximus pondered what kind of trial he would get.
Even after decades of blazing through 20,000 trials, Maximus remained brimming with energy.
Once he became serious, his determination was unshakable.
Although he failed once or twice in some trials, it only fueled his resolve to grow stronger.
Having conquered all 160,000 Origin Laws, Maximus sensed that his mastery of the origin of laws was on the brink of breaking through ultimate.
From transcendence to ultimate—a boundary uncrossable by ordinary means.
This mastery could not be achieved by time and strength alone.
Talent, potential, inspiration, and miraculous chances were all essential elements in the equation.
As Maximus pushed through the increasingly difficult trials, his understanding of the origin of laws accelerated.
Just as he wondered what the trial would demand of him, a mist-like void appeared before him.
"We finally meet, little child," a resonant voice greeted him from the void.
"The Origin of Void, one of the top ten Supreme Origin Laws… It's my honor to meet you," Maximus said, bowing slightly.
As the embodiment of the infinite void, the Origin of Void was among the most formidable of the Supreme Laws.
After exchanging pleasantries, Maximus inquired about the trial's objective.
With the rising difficulty of the challenges, Maximus no longer merely needed to guide these entities but also had to meet their conditions.
Some entities were calm, others eager, while some displayed fiery tempers, cold demeanors, or other distinct traits.
Having encountered so many entities of law, Maximus began to see them not just as guardians of the Aeon Plane but as beings with unique emotions, thoughts, and ambitions.
Looking at the entity of Void, Maximus greeted it respectfully, hoping the trial wouldn't be overly demanding.
"It's simple," the entity said. "This void is empty. I need you to fill it."
"Fill it?" Maximus asked, staring at the boundless void in disbelief.
Filling such an infinite expanse would take epochs!
"What's the problem? Isn't it simple,"
"Besides, there's no time limit. Time here is accelerated—a second, and the world here would pass an epoch.
"You're insane!" Maximus cursed.
He had thought this entity might be easygoing, but he didn't expect it to be so devious.
Moreover, looking at the blatant offer of a binding contract before him made his face darken.
Such an obvious trap—to make him surrender and submit to the Supreme Law of Void.
In this boundless void, even with time dilation ensuring minimal loss of time outside, Maximus wasn't sure his mind could endure countless epochs of monotony.
He hadn't even lived for 100,000 years yet.
How could his mind withstand the psychological toll of possibly endless epochs spent filling an empty space?
"Your time has already started. Fortunately, it's accelerated trillions of times, so you can take as long as you need…"
With those parting words, the entity left Maximus alone in the void.
"The Supreme Law of Void… what a bastard," Maximus muttered through gritted teeth.
In the Source of the Aeon Plane,
As the consciousness of the Supreme Law of Void left the virtual projection, the other Supreme Laws gathered around it, demanding an explanation.
The Supreme Law of Void was supposed to appear in the latter stages of the trials.
Yet, by leveraging its relationship with the Supreme Law of Virtuality, it had skipped the line to meet Maximus first.
Furthermore, considering the insane trial it had set up, many of the Supreme Laws observing Maximus were furious.
"Calm down," the Supreme Law of Void said, addressing their outrage.
"I simply wanted this child to experience the hardships of the world. Watching him aim to complete this trial purely through his strength, I hope to temper his arrogance."
"Besides, can't you just send your invitations? It's not as if anyone is stopping you…"
Hearing this reasoning, the other Supreme Laws paused before quickly sending their binding contract invitations one after another.
However, some continued to watch from the sidelines, intrigued by how Maximus would solve this seemingly impossible trial.
Watching Maximus over the past few decades had been captivating.
Solving insurmountable challenges one after another, they doubted that even the cunning Supreme Law of Void would succeed in breaking him.
Indeed, faced with this trial, Maximus began analyzing the most practical solution.
Even using ether devices, it would take him thousands of epochs to fill such a boundless void.
Moreover, knowing he needed to reserve such trump cards for later trials, Maximus could only think harder for a solution.
Finally, entering the omniscient mode and expending millions of strands of causality, Maximus uncovered the most efficient approach.
"Why do I need to fill this void myself?" Maximus wondered, a flicker of inspiration lighting his mind.
Merging with the River of Knowledge, the system gained the ability to evolve further.
Deducing a runic program capable of autonomously controlling his body's power, Maximus began his work.
After years of calculations and hundreds of years of creation, a new ability was born within his system:
"The Automatic Module System…"
A program that allowed the system to autonomously control Maximus's body—from his physique to his mastery over the Path of Laws.
Although mechanical in execution, with the Path of Knowledge supporting it, the system could follow a blueprint Maximus set to perfection without error or deviation.
Gazing at the boundless void, the River of Knowledge quickly deduced a grand blueprint—a design reminiscent of the stars and galaxies from his previous universe.
Wishing to revisit the past, even as a mere illusion, Maximus hopes to recreate his old universe.
Allowing his consciousness to enter hibernation, the system began to take control of his body.
"No matter how much time passes, if I'm not conscious, it's just a nap," he mused as his mind faded into stillness.
