The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 431  Causality of Evolution

Chapter 431  Causality of Evolution

After a self-destructing attack, Maximus found himself in emptiness.

Although conscious, he couldn't sense anything—neither touch, sight, or smell.

Even time and space were nowhere to be found.

"Is this death?" Maximus wondered.

Feeling curious, Maximus couldn't help but study his state.

In his 'death' state, he couldn't feel or do anything.

Although he could think, he couldn't comprehend the laws and things he had learned.

Besides his core memories, all the things he had mastered seemed to be gone.

"Is this inside my origin?" Maximus guessed.

His origin contained everything he was made up of: his memories of his family, the world, all of his living experiences.

Because his origin was fragile, all the things he had mastered were only backed up in the real world, waiting for him to be resurrected.

Origin is a raw state of life.

Besides containing the genetic makeup of life, spirit, and soul, it couldn't contain anything more.

Only because of Maximus's practice could it contain memories, so he wouldn't forget himself once he was resurrected.

While he was wandering around in the emptiness, he seemed to touch something.

A broken crack-up bubble, near it he felt comfortable like he was being nurtured.

"Is this the system?" Feeling the cognition it sent to him, he confirmed the existence next to him was the system.

"It seems that it's bound to my core origin." Maximus thought happily.

In the future, knowing that the system would still be bound to him even in death, Maximus felt relieved.

Who knew if he would reincarnate in another plane of existence?

At that time, his backup memories couldn't be used.

By then, he would only have his living memories and the origin manual automatically circulating in his body.

Although he could still power through with such an advantage, without the system, his early stage of reincarnation would be rough.

Tinkering with the system, it seemed to be in an inactive state.

Maximus couldn't check whether the information it stored or the system space was also bound with it.

Having nothing to do, he played around with the system, not feeling the passing of time.

Soon, feeling a pulling force, he knew it was time for him to be reborn.

...

Virtual Tower.

In the center of the room, huge energy was condensing layer by layer, starting from the origin, spirit, soul, and body.

Although Zero had said that the Virtual Realm could resurrect everyone as everything in it was only generated, the attempt Maximus put off was another matter.

If the destruction of others' origins was like burning wood with ashes left, Maximus was like a mirage vanishing into existence.

Fortunately, using its computing power and the almightiness of the Virtual Realm, Zero found traces of Maximus's origin.

In many parts of their plane of existence, many fragments of Maximus's origin were hidden.

It seemed as though Maximus expected his 'death,' waiting to be resurrected using the fragments of his origin.

Such a clever plan made it convenient for Zero to resurrect Maximus.

Otherwise, if someone died in the Virtual Realm, it would be a massive loss of face for its master.

Seeing Maximus fully condensed, Zero flickered a little, as if a little of such shenanigans.

"Huh~" Breathing in the fresh air, Maximus felt happy to be alive.

After a little while, all the backup memories he left merged into him, waking him up to reality.

Looking at the time, he saw that it was only a few days before and after his death.

Remembering his previous state, Maximus wouldn't want to experience it again.

A day felt like an eternity in such an empty space.

Suddenly he seemed to remember something.

"What about my reward?"

Not hearing any answer, he saw the tier 9 trial still had another floor he didn't go.

Understanding, Maximus ascended toward the next floor.

...

Virtual Tower, Treasure Terrace:

"So this is where my reward is..."

Looking around, he saw a grand and solemn room.

Treasures brimming with energy were encased as if waiting for a victorious challenger.

Before he could look around further, a majestic energy suddenly descended on him.

"Hmm? Causality of Evolution?" Maximus muttered as information about the majestic energy appeared in his mind.

Causality of Evolution can evolve and enhance anything in existence—whether physique, power, potential, technique, treasure—everything one could think of.

"What a reward!" Maximus muttered with a smile.

Getting the Causality of Evolution, Maximus was a little tangled about where to use it.

Using this majestic energy, he was sure his physique could advance to rank 11.

"No, it would be a waste," Maximus thought.

Enhancing his physique using the Causality of Evolution would be a waste.

After this trial, Lilith's physique should have advanced to rank 11.

Before coming here, he already planned to use Lilith's ability to copy a tier 11 physique enhancer potion.

Maximus even advised Skye to use the reward to enhance the grade of her physique.

Thinking of this, he also thought of using the Causality of Evolution to enhance the grade of his physique.

Unfortunately, it was too far-fetched.

Although the reward is not enough to enhance her physique from supreme to origin grade, it would at least make it stronger.

Furthermore, with more accumulation, there is a possibility of it advancing in the future.

Thinking of this, he also thought of using the Causality of Evolution to enhance the grade of his physique.

Unfortunately, it was too far-fetched.

The Causality of Evolution he had was too little to experiment with; it might not even work as the grade of his physique was already the highest.

The second thing he thought of enhancing with the Causality of Evolution was his realm.

Until now, he hadn't even reached 1 percent of his realm.

His cultivation seemed to come to a halt as he couldn't advance even a little bit using the highest available resources.

If his progress remained the same, it would take him hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years to advance to the peak of tier 9.

This is still when he hadn't incorporated the other 160,685 other essences of law.

By then, it might take epochs before he could reach the peak of his realm.

"This is not it either," Maximus decided.

Even if he could use the Causality of Evolution to reach the peak of his realm with more than enough spare for the other 160,685 laws, it would be impractical.

The Causality of Evolution was the reward he fought for, sacrificing his life.

To use it because he couldn't wait a few years was blasphemous.

Maximus had no problem with his combat power now.

Even if he fought ordinary tier 11 powerhouses, he could still fight one or two.

Thinking of this, he shifted his attention to the Amalgamation of Will.

Amalgamation of Will is a tier 9 energy, similar to the essence of the law.

Having origin coins as a replacement for system points resources, it became almost obsolete.

However, the potential of the Amalgamation of Will is still huge.

This is a renewable energy that could be sustainably harvested from conscious living beings.

This is an entirely new system.

Although it is similar to faith, an energy derived from the will of people, Faith is tainted energy like polluted water.

Not only would the believers be affected, but even the gods would be polluted by the faith they follow.

Their personality, attitude, and persona would be closer and closer to their chosen godhead as they advanced.

Because of the influence of disordered personality, they had a hard time advancing to the tier 11 realm.

Amalgamation of Will on the other hand is a pure belief and recognition of people.

It's untainted and has a wide variety of uses.

If it advances to tier 10 or 11, Maximus may be able to create an entirely new path for himself.

"It's too far away..." Maximus suddenly thought.

He still had many more important matters to attend to, and creating a path with unknown potential wasn't worth it.

Thinking of his 'death' state earlier, he remembered the system that is bound to him even in death.

"My system!" he exclaimed.

The system that had been bound to him since the beginning of his journey, giving him a chance of another life and glory.

However, because it's severely damaged, it can only help up to the tier 10 realm.

As time passes, its usefulness will become more and more negligible.

If only the time points could help tier 11 individuals' enlightenment.

If only the potential points could also be used by other individuals.

If only it could add other functions...

Thinking of the possibilities, Maximus felt excitement.

"That's it!"

Without thinking further, he directed all the Causality of Evolution towards the system.

As it resonated with the Causality of Evolution, the cracks it once had slowly repaired, becoming more solid and real.

Furthermore, the previous impervious system security was suddenly open to his eyes.

A rune security that couldn't even be seen by the primordial origin eyes was presented before him.

Not wanting this chance to pass by, his mind began to overdrive, consuming countless system points, and accelerating his consciousness to an unknown degree.

Even if Maximus died because of overdrive, he was determined to engrave the core operating runes of the system in his mind.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a glimpse of this higher power.
