Soon, with all the talents in tow, Maximus and the others reached the Aeon Plane's inner barrier.
Although they were only in the outer plane, being away from their homeland made them a little melancholy.
This made them wonder what would happen if the Aeon Plane was destroyed by the dark disaster?
Would they escape or fight, being buried together with their plane of origin?
"You just need to be stronger. If you want something, you should at least have the strength to make it happen," Maximus encouraged.
Unlike the others, he wasn't worried the Aeon Plane would be breached.
Confident that he could turn the tide if something happened, why would he worry about a mere dark disaster?
"You are right, Lord Maximus!"
"We just need to be strong! No, stronger!"
"If all of us became Overlords, how could a mere dark disaster threaten us?"
With thousands of individuals receiving a seed of law, as long as they didn't die, they could grow into towering Overlords!
Finding a newfound goal, they entered the inner barrier with confidence and a dream.
Feeling the unpolluted and peaceful void, their bodies couldn't help but relax.
It seemed as if their bodies were screaming, solidifying their advancement to the Tier 11 realm.
Feeling his body wreaking havoc, Maximus held it down.
Although they all advanced to the Tier 11 realm, it was incomplete.
Their bodies still hadn't been baptized by the origin of laws, purified by the causality of power, and harmonized with the Aeon Plane.
Even their Path of Law hadn't completed its evolution.
Being sent away to the outer barrier, their connection with their Path of Law became dim.
If not for being in the Tier 11 realm and carrying a trace of their Path of Law, they wouldn't even be able to use its power.
"We'll go on first. Let's meet again when fate requires it."
"Goodbye, Lord Maximus. We'll see you again in the future."
Saying goodbye, they bolted toward their territory, wanting to consolidate their foundation.
"Maximus, let's fight again in the future," Zar said, still feeling pain.
"Hahaha, you wait for me." Not caring about his reply, Zar quickly left.
Paragon, Nyx, and Sira also said their goodbyes and quickly left.
Although brief, fighting together to save the Aeon Plane created a bond that couldn't be measured by time.
If not for the urgent matters, they might have even wanted to celebrate.
With all the talents leaving, Maximus and his family also boarded the Shadow Void Ship and returned to the Etherium Realm.
Looking at the Etherium Realm, they couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
"It seems the Etherium Realm got bigger again."
Away for over ten thousand years, the Etherium Realm had gained another circle.
"It should be the talents recruited by the Order of Maxim."
Recruiting hundreds of billions of talents, coupled with their dimension, it was no wonder the Etherium Realm bulged again.
"The origin of law became too messy," Etheria complained.
Although the Etherium Realm looked perfect from the outside, too much accumulation of different dimensional rules made it a mess inside.
"This can only be fixed after we advance," Maximus smiled.
The four Spirit Goddesses could only manage the people, while the Order of Maxim had their work.
Sorting the laws of the Etherium Realm could only be left to Etheria.
"By the way, have you gotten the seed of plane?"
"No, there didn't seem to be a seed of plane. I only got the seed of dimension," Etheria sighed.
If she had gotten the seed of plane, she would have had the same potential as the Aeon Plane.
Unfortunately, it seemed there was no such thing in the Primordial Origin Realm.
"I see…" Maximus sighed but was not too disappointed.
On the way to the Seed of Origin, he also tried to find a Seed of Plane.
He thought they didn't have much affinity, so he hadn't found it. Now, it seemed it didn't exist.
"We can only compromise with these," Maximus muttered, handing over dozens of Ultimate Dimensional Fragments.
"Ultimate Dimensional Fragments!"
Shouting in shock, Etheria couldn't help but look greedily at the fragments in Maximus's hands.
An Ultimate Dimensional Fragment could allow the Etherium Realm to have some independent rules from the Aeon Plane.
With these things, Etheria could become stronger and have more autonomy.
"We also found some…"
Hearing their conversation, the others took out Ultimate Dimensional Fragments one after another, giving them to Etheria.
"It's for the family…"
Soon after chatting about the changes in the Etherium Realm, they quickly went into seclusion, wanting to consolidate their foundation.
Maximus also went to the Source of Knowledge, wanting to complete its advancement to the absolute of law.
Feeling the densely saturated Origin of Knowledge evolving into a higher form, Maximus began to hasten its process.
Waving the net of origin and causality, the Source of Knowledge began to expand, turning into a massive light that surrounded everything in the void.
As the blinding light turned into a cocoon, all the Paths of Law within began transforming and evolving.
All the lives in the Etherium Realm became enlightened, becoming smarter than sages and advancing multiple times.
The knowledge flowing throughout the Aeon Plane also became rapid, cycling like never before.
From the past, present, and future, all knowledge seemed to become more perfect as all imperfections were purified.
Feeling this change, all dimensions began to close their eyes, absorbing such a transformation.
A forbidden path, a thread that influenced not just the minority but all living beings with consciousness to learn.
Feeling their minds become clearer as the flow of knowledge became more condensed, they couldn't wait to pick up books, capitalizing on such enlightenment.
Suddenly, just when they were about to celebrate, multiple auras began to surge, shocking them to their core.
The Absolute of Infinity, the Absolute of Abyss, the Absolute of Power, the Absolute of Boundless.
Feeling multiple forbidden Paths of Law advancing, they knew it was the start of a new era—the advent of ascension.
