With five thousand years left, Maximus and his family stopped training and began to condition their minds.
"Why don't we tour around the Etherium Realm?"
Although they had lived here all their lives and toured deeply several times, they never grew bored of it.
Furthermore, their trip to the Primordial Origin Realm might be longer than intended; they might not see the Etherium Realm for millions of years again.
"We would be glad to~" his wives quickly agreed.
As for the others, after asking for their opinion, they were too lazy to join in.
With their father and mothers together, they would just be third wheels.
It was better to take their time and visit other dimensions themselves or train until the last minute of the competition.
Seeing they didn't want to join in, Maximus happily took his wives to play.
The first place they toured was the Moonlight Empire, the first empire he ruled.
Although Maximus had already become the Supreme Emperor of the Etherium Realm, he still took great care of this empire.
Even Liam, who was busy managing the Etherium Alliance, took care of Moonlight Empire matters from time to time.
As they poured their hearts and effort into it, the Moonlight Empire became, without a doubt, the perfect paradise in all of the Ethereum realm.
Filled with abundance, fairy-like scenery, and top-ranking people, it could be said that the Etherium Realm had already reached his vision from the past.
After touring the Moonlight Empire, they went to their personal grounds in the Astral Continent.
The Astral Continent didn't just have the Moonlight Empire.
Most of the land was occupied by various resource points, training grounds, and vacation spots Maximus built.
Although it was still technically owned by the Moonlight Empire, because most of it was the property of the Shadowcrest family, the empire's ministers and officials didn't dare to list it in the empire's territory.
"It's still as beautiful as ever~"
Even though they had already been here, they couldn't get enough of it.
As a veritable playground built for them, it was a perfect place to have leisure and to unwind.
To this, Maximus could only say the Ocean of Knowledge was worthy of its name.
Taking in all the scenery they visited, Maximus deduced this perfect place for him and his family.
Although expensive, seeing his wives smile made him feel it was worth it.
After playing around, they went to the other three administrative continents.
Visiting the Arcane Continent, they still couldn't help but sigh at its development.
As the most prosperous and powerful continent in the past, it didn't fall far behind the Astral Continent.
Having the most advanced arcane studies, applications, and research facilities, most scholars from the Order of Maxim take this place as a go-to spot.
With such a force, the Arcane Continent carried its name as the holy ground of knowledge.
Although the Astral Continent was also advanced, most of its creations were built by Maximus and his family and had nothing to do with its inhabitants.
Trying new things and exploring the place, their minds were opened through all the bizarre and innovative inventions.
The place was like a large laboratory and showcase room; no matter where you went, there would be a group of people tinkering or showing off their work.
With such an interesting atmosphere, Maximus and his wives decided to disguise themselves and dive into such a competitive environment.
Innovating various tools and treasures, a group of mysterious scholars soon shot to fame.
The top brass of the Order of Maxim was even alarmed, thinking that a group of geniuses had been born in the Arcane Continent.
However, hearing a reminder passed through their minds, they left with a weird face.
Who would have thought these people were just their Master and his family?
Disguising themselves in their territory, the Shadowcrest family really knew how to play.
Leaving the place, they quickly went back to work.
Having enough, Maximus and his wives also stopped playing.
After several hundred years of playing as top scholars, they had enough fun.
Soon, just as they were about to leave, a familiar face greeted Maximus.
"Long time no see, Maximus~"
"Fealan? It's indeed been a long time."
It had been hundreds of thousands of years since they last met.
A while ago, feeling enlightenment, Fealan entered seclusion, condensing his path of law.
Looking at him now, Fealan seemed to have become a master of the river of law.
Furthermore, he was only in the tier-10 realm, showing the same potential as the top talents of the Dimensional Alliance.
As his close friend and his father-in-law, Maximus wasn't stingy.
With the same work, Fealan and the others of his circle could earn more strands of causality in return.
The strands of causality could not only be used in training but, more importantly, to improve their physique.
Although it was not as intuitive or cost-effective as his system, it achieved the same results nonetheless.
In just over a million years and with trillions of strands of causality, Fealan had already achieved a Mythic-grade ultimate physique.
(Heroic, Mythic, Supreme, Origin)
After a few more years, Fealan might enhance his physique to Supreme grade.
As for an Origin-grade physique, it wasn't easy.
Without quintillions of strands of causality, they could only dream about it.
As for his family, with the blessing of the origin manual and the efficiency provided by the system, they only needed hundreds of trillions at most.
Fealan and the others still had a long way to go before catching up to those true talents.
"Father, we are also here," Freya muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Father~" Lilith also pouted, seeing their father's attention was all on Maximus.
Although they already had a husband, they still longed for familial love.
"Hahaha, how could I forget about my beloved daughters? I'm just distracted by your dazzling husband."
Hearing this, Freya and Lilith just rolled their eyes.
Dragging their sisters, they left Maximus and Fealan to have a personal talk.
Seeing them leave, Fealan heaved a sigh of relief before turning toward Maximus. "I'm sure you know what I'm after…"
"It should be a contract with an Entity of an Origin of Law…"
