After hundreds of years of preparation, the grand celebration within the Etherium Realm had finally begun.
With powerhouses from all the top families and organizations of the Aeon Plane gathered, the Etherium Realm was packed.
"Is this the Etherium Realm? It's truly a paradise!"
"It's even better than most dimensions."
"Huh? There are so many unique congregations of laws. Is this really just a Tier 12 dimension?"
With just a sweep of their eyes, they spotted three to four unique features.
Although it was much weaker than a regular Tier 12 dimension, the sheer number of unique features was far beyond normal.
"Could this be a Tier 12 Ultimate Dimension?"
"This… How is that possible? Lord Maximus still hadn't advanced to an Overlord."
"Then how do you explain all this?"
"Anyway, I'd rather believe they have an artificial method to create such a congregation of unique laws than believe that Lord Maximus has become an Overlord."
Due to the dimensional barrier surrounding the Etherium Realm, no one, except the Overlords, knew it had advanced to an Ultimate Dimension.
Even so, the idea that Maximus had become an Overlord was absurd.
If that had happened, even someone living in complete seclusion would have heard the news.
As they explored the Etherium Realm, the visitors continued discovering more and more unique features of the plane.
Furthermore, these were no longer mere prototypes like before but fully developed features that even regular Tier 12 dimensions would struggle to conceive.
From the four administrative continents to the Chaos Continent, the Etherium Academy, the Etherium Council, the World Trees, and more—everything was beyond belief.
As they continued their exploration, their amazement turned into shock.
"This—How is this even possible?!"
"Did Lord Maximus really not advance to the Overlord Realm?"
"No, don't even think in that direction..."
"Then… could it be because this realm was built from countless other dimensions?" someone suddenly speculated, recalling the starry dimensional continents they pass by.
They recognized some of the dimensions and knew they had been merged into the Etherium Realm rather than being naturally born.
"This… This is feasible!"
Being composed of countless dimensions, it was no surprise that the Etherium Realm possessed so many unique features.
Calming their restless hearts, they continued their exploration, waiting for the celebration to begin.
Eager to experience some of the fascinating features they had seen, the group eventually dispersed.
A few years later, once all the visitors had arrived, Maximus announced the start of the celebration.
Using his authority as the Dimensional Master, his voice resonated throughout the Etherium Realm, reaching every visitor.
In an instant, they were teleported to the designated coordinates, arriving at the Shadowcrest Castle.
"Hey, doesn't this castle seem strange?"
Looking at the towering structure that stretched endlessly toward the sky, they felt an overwhelming, sacred, and inviolable aura.
"It's like one of the top architectural wonders!"
Yet another surprise. But after traveling across the Etherium Realm, their ability to be shocked had dulled.
Turning toward the protagonist of the event, they maintained their composure, careful to avoid any disrespect.
"First of all, thank you for attending this celebration. It is my utmost honor to have your presence here in the Etherium Realm," Maximus began.
"Secondly, as a token of my gratitude, I will grant everyone free access to experience the Cultivation Floor in the Tower of Knowledge!"
"A free experience? Really?"
The last 800 floors of the Tower of Knowledge—the floors with unlimited origin energy.
It was said that securing a training spot required an ultimate treasure.
Being able to experience such a place, they couldn't help but be excited.
"How long could we stay in the tower of knowledge, Lord Maximus?
"A thousand years. All of you will be given a thousand-year quota," Maximus said with a smile.
It was time to comprehensively raise the power of the Aeon Plane.
Maximus had more origin energy than he could possibly use.
With approximately 450 billion Ether Forges, he could generate 1.14 sextillion units of origin energy every day.
To produce about three trillion strands of causality required only 0.0003% of the origin energy he could generate.
It could be said that his origin energy was virtually unlimited—so vast that even he didn't know where to put it all.
In the past, without the strength to protect his wealth, he had never dared to reveal the full extent of his ability.
Now that he had barely enough strength to defend himself, it was time to show his fangs.
Brewing a grand plan that could shuffle the Aeon Plane, letting these powerhouses experience the joy of cultivating with unlimited origin energy was only the first step.
Once they had calmed down, Maximus made another announcement.
"Finally, in a thousand years, Iris, the Absolute of the Immortal Palace Realm, and I, Maximus Shadowcrest, will hold our wedding."
"I welcome you all once again to attend this joyous occasion."
"Congratulations, Lord Maximus!"
"May your union last forever!"
"I'll surely attend your wedding, Lord Maximus!"
"Will it have the same perks?"
After showering Maximus with praise and congratulations, they didn't forget to ask about potential rewards.
"Of course, I wouldn't let your stay be a waste of time. How could my wedding with my beloved be any less grand than this celebration?"
Hearing his words, the crowd erupted in excitement.
Looking at Maximus and Iris, they could hardly wait for the wedding to begin.
With the announcements concluded, the celebration officially began.
The finest ingredients from all across the Aeon Plane were gathered, prepared by Tier 11 chefs. The resulting feast was nothing short of divine.
Accompanied by dancers, singers, various events, and social gatherings, the atmosphere was jubilant.
Returning to his wives, Maximus joined in the celebration.
More importantly, as he met their gazes, his eyes couldn't help but linger.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Hmm… we'll see who the lucky one among us will be."
After learning about the unique features of the Divine Continent, they couldn't help but scramble to invite Maximus over.
Having been with him for millions of years, how could they not long to bear the fruit of their love?
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the Aeon Plane, they had only been able to walk away in disappointment.
But now that a solution existed, they wanted to seize every opportunity.
Even Iris, who was set to marry Maximus in a thousand years, couldn't help but feel excited.
With Maximus' appearance and hers, just how beautiful would their child be?
Seeing their eagerness, Maximus also grew impatient.
Looking at the ongoing celebration, he suddenly wished he could kick everyone out and get on with it.
Unfortunately, he had to wait…
