The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 335 Aethercore Tower

Chapter 335 Aethercore Tower

Looking at the Etherforge Reactor before him, a smile appeared on his face.

"The resources of the empire would finally be free..."

Although Maximus was rich, with hundreds of quintillions of dimensional coins in his bank, the cost of raising an empire was still significant.

Initially, the Moonlight Empire only had trillions of people and not much expenses.

A few billion dimensional coins equivalent to a few quadrillion crystal credits were enough to run his empire for years with a lot of surpluses.

Maximus even had the budget to build extravagant things for the entertainment of his family.

Now, with tens of quadrillion citizens, the budget didn't multiply by tens or hundreds of times but increased a billionfold.

Maximus needed to pay about a quintillion dimensional coins every year out of his own pocket just to run the empire.

The Empire is being built from scratch.

The home of tens of quadrillions of people isn't cheap by any means.

Furthermore he couldn't just build a home for them.

He had to think about the future, fully reinforcing the whole curse Continent.

From arrays, sturdiness, defense, attack, etc.

These cost the majority of the quintillion budget yearly.

He was also a bit picky, wanting everything to be perfect to every detail.

He didn't want some ragtag building and called it a city; it would be an embarrassment to his ambition.

The salaries he gave were also immense. Not wanting to disappoint his people and guild members in vain, the salary is quite generous.

Plus, the benefits he was giving, just the daily subsidies were already pulling his pants down.

Much less, the encouragement law he just promulgated.

With a quadrillion people advancing to tier 1, that's already 1 quintillion crystal credits or equivalent to 1 trillion dimensional coins.

What's more for tier 2, tier 3, tier 4, and so on.

As for the loan, it was an unlimited pit.

So far, over ten quintillion dimensional coins have already been borrowed from him.

With the development of the empire, he could only hope they could pay it back in a thousand years.

However, despite the pain, it was a necessary expense.

Money could be earned back any time he wanted.

Just the reselling of the products from the Myriad World Mall from the powerhouse of the Etherium Realm was enough.

There is also the Dimensional Library that could earn him over ten quintillion dimensional coins every year.

With all this excess money, why not spend it on his people?

Not only could he create the paradise of his dream, but more importantly, the amalgamation of will he could earn would skyrocket.

Just hundreds of quadrillions of units of Amalgamation of Will could make him do wonderful things; what about more?

Quintillion? Sextillions? Septillion?

Although his system had a limit, with enough quantity, he could break this limitation.

As for the sentiment of currency that the previous digital currency could convert into system credits, it was no longer possible.

The so-called sentiment that made the useless currency possible to convert into system credits was just another type of will.

With him absorbing all the excess will of his people into the form of amalgamation of will, this phenomenon no longer worked.

Maximus had to rely on real currency with value or trade to obtain dimensional coins.

Fortunately, he had unlimited mana, and now, with this Etherforge Reactor machine, it was equivalent to having a money printer.

Of course, he still needed to invest money to create this cash machine.

Moreover, each Etherforge Reactor costs about a hundred trillion dimensional crystals per unit.

With an efficiency of 1 million low magic crystals or 1 dimensional coin per day.

It would take him 300 epochs or 300 billion years before he could make the money back.

Fortunately, he was not building the Etherforge Reactor to earn quick cash.

It was merely so his Empire could be self-sufficient.

However, thinking that he needed about a quintillion dimensional coins every year.

Maximus realized he needed about 3 quadrillion Etherforge Reactors to be self-sufficient.

Thinking this, Maximus shook his head wryly.

"This prototype couldn't work."

It was too inefficient, costing a hundred trillion, yet it was only able to generate a dimensional coin worth a day.

Even if he were picking money, he couldn't make this money-losing investment.

Fortunately, it was only the first successful prototype.

With more iterations, Maximus would try to make it cheaper and more efficient.

At least a single Etherforge Reactor should create a billion low magic crystals before he mass-produces?it.

However, for now, this is sufficient.

The main purpose of this is not to print money but to print resources.

A tier 1 plant containing a magic crystal worth of energy is worth three to five times more.

A potion made from the synthesis of various herbs would probably be worth ten to a hundred times more.

There are also weapons, puppets, alchemy, and many more.

The main use of the Etherforge Reactor isn't to print magic crystals but to print rare resources.

However, another problem cropped up.

To print resources, one needed to inscribe runes containing the very origin of the subject.

From the material composition, magic properties, law properties, weight, effects, etc.

For the information on the origin of the subject, Maximus had no problem.

He had his domain to analyze the origin, public free resources in the Origin Arcana Institute, and the Myriad World Mall.

The problem is that to inscribe each rune would be too time-

consuming.

With an infinite amount of resources appearing every second of the day, inscribing all of it would be impossible.

He also had many things to do, like upgrading the prototype, researching other applications of his unlimited mana, mastering the Myriad World Mall and possibly his system, and more importantly, bonding with his family.

His schedule was already full; anything more would not work.

Falling into a daze, he thought of a solution.

"Create an Automatic Inscriber!"

If he couldn't do it, then create someone who could do it.

With overflowing system points, Maximus could do whatever crossed his mind.

"Let's work..."

...

Ten years later.

After spending hundreds of quadrillions system points every day, deducing, confirming, and studying.

Maximus was finally able to create another masterpiece.

Looking at the large building made of Aethercore before him, the light in his eyes intensified.

"The Aethercore Tower... How magnificent."

This sci-fi-looking tower in front of him, full of pulsating light of information, is made of the thousand Aethercores he looted from Valoros.

If previously the thousand Aethercores were independent supercomputers doing tasks and calculating all on their own.

After Maximus modified them and added some touches, they became the mother core of supercomputers.

This Aethercore Tower presented in front of him was a billion times faster and more efficient than the last.

The calculations that would take hundreds of years would only take this Aether Tower a few seconds.

A decade ago, he was having a headache creating an automatic inscriber.

However, he forgot about the most abundant thing he had: the people.

Having tens of quadrillions of people, why would he waste his time creating an automatic inscriber?

Not only would it be inefficient, but it would also cost a lot of money.

Although using his people would also cost money, it was not a problem since he was already spending a ton on them.

Furthermore, with more money, they had more chances of advancing, producing more amalgamation of will.

After designating his people as the inscribers.

He thought of how to simplify the runes and inscriptions needed to encode the origin of the subject.

After all, no matter how insignificant, everything contains a trace of law.

To inscribe law into a rune is not something a novice Tier 7 or Tier 8 rune inscriber could do, much less a group of mortals.

Even Maximus had a hard time initially, merely inscribing low-

grade magic crystals.

Simplifying things so that a mortal could understand requires superfast calculations that can keep up with or even transcend the law.

A single Aethercore is simply not enough.

Not having enough, Maximus spent tens of quintillions of dimensional coins, buying various Tier 10 items and more Tier 9 supercomputers to create his own hardcore supercomputer.

As for buying a Tier 10 supercomputer?

It was not available for sale in the Myriad World Mall; the limit was, at most, some common Tier 10 resources.

Rare technology like a supercomputer, was like a prohibited item that one cannot simply buy.

Moreover, even if it were available, Maximus doubted if he could afford it.

"Now, what's left is the program..."

The Aether tower in front of him only has basic functionality.

It was up to him to create the inscribing engine that would automatically combine and understand the dumbed-down rune inscriptions.

"Another task!" Maximus muttered excitedly.

After conquering the Curse Continent and acquiring a plethora of system points and money, instead of relaxing, work seemed to keep piling up.

However, rather than complaining, he felt more happy and fulfilled.

After all, what is life without work, just lying around?

As for the people outside the Curse Continent, Maximus was too lazy to contact them now.

After selling them the resources he bought from the Myriad World Mall, he secluded himself in the Curse Continent.

Thus, although they knew he had already conquered the Curse Continent, they were unaware of its progress.

Maximus banned all outside involvement for now, hoping to develop his empire to its full potential before others intervened.

Furthermore, he didn't forget about the upcoming invasion of the abyss.

Not wanting to disturb himself with a bunch of ceremonial stuff, he kept himself shut.

There was also the death of Valoros, although it seemed that the ancient apex sovereigns didn't notice.

Who knows what they were thinking?

Without enough strength and means, the Moonlight Empire and the entire Curse Continent wouldn't be open to the outside world.
