Chapter 436: Relative Truth
Chapter 436: Relative Truth
Time passed, and Maximus's life returned to normal.
However, with the Seal of Truth, instead of having a life easier, he had become busier.
His current goal was to quickly enhance the physique of his and his family to rank 11.
Using the system, Maximus needed ten billion origin coins worth of system points to upgrade his physique from rank 10 to rank 11.
Compared to the hundreds or even trillions of origin coins required to buy enough tier 11 physique enhancer potions, this was more cost-effective.
As for condensing the potion, it was time-consuming and a little more expensive.
However, looking at his balance, barely a billion origin coins were left.
Due to his extravagant expenses, no matter how fast the Dimensional Origin Library earned money, it wouldn't be enough.
Currently, the Dimensional Origin Library could earn about a hundred million origin coins each year with its growing reputation.
This meant it would only take him a hundred years to gather enough to upgrade his physique to rank 11, instead of the thousands of years initially calculated.
However, this was not fast enough for him.
Knowing that there were individuals stronger than him, Maximus felt a sense of urgency.
There was also the unknown catastrophe that might occur.
The catastrophe could happen anytime, maybe in a thousand years, a year, or even tomorrow.
It was imperative that he became stronger as fast as he could.
Based on his deductions using the Seal of Truth, there were only two ways he could earn money quickly.
The first was to renovate the Dimensional Origin Library and utilize the enhanced ability of the system.
A purer power of causality that could even help a tier 11 individual would cause the library's profits to skyrocket hundreds of times.
However, when Maximus deduced the consequences, he immediately abandoned this path.
He was not the only one who could use the power of causality.
Although more expensive, other top organizations also had enlightenment rooms that could accelerate comprehension.
If he continued on this path and drew the interest of these top organizations, Maximus would face countless troubles.
Even the Sterling family might turn against him due to the pressure.
Although he might remain safe with some manipulation, Maximus wouldn't risk his safety and stability for mere profits.
The second way to earn money was to copy potions and improve them.
Copying potions was straightforward; Maximus just needed to reproduce top potions and sell them in large quantities.
With his current ability, mass-producing tier-10 potions would be easy.
The only problem was the sales channel.
To sell such a large quantity of potion, he needed to create multiple fake identities.
After, he could register with various organizations as an alchemist to legally sell potions.
Besides the hassle, it was a safe alternative he could choose.
Improving potions, on the other hand, required the help of the Seal of Truth to deduce the improved version of the potion.
This path was effortless and more profitable, allowing him to hold the full patent for the produced potions.
Not only could he sell them legally, but he could also sell the enhanced formula to earn more.
Looking at the tier 11 physique enhancer Lilith copied, Maximus couldn't help but frown.
The formula was composed of rare tier 11 materials of each element.
Furthermore, to merge them, it had to undergo over 28 billion syntheses.
If he wanted to improve the formula, each change in materials would require 28 billion verifications to pass.
Although he had the help of the Seal of Truth, pinpointing exactly what was needed, it would still require quintillions of trials to verify.
"No, this is impossible," Maximus quickly gave up.
Such a troublesome task was too much for him.
There was even no guarantee of success, as he still lacked all the necessary knowledge—about materials, methods, processes, etc.
He would only waste his time recklessly trying down this path.
As for using the Seal of Truth to gamble, it was not possible with his current ability.
To deduce something, Maximus had to put in the possible instance.
Without full knowledge of the hidden operations, methods, and rules, Maximus would only fumble around getting inaccurate answers.
At one time, Maximus tried to deduce who could be the winner of a dimensional war.
At first, Maximus deduced the party would win the war.
The second time, it was a tie.
the third time, it was the party B winning.
With rapid change of odds, Maximus wouldn't try to bet on such a risky thing.
There are two types of truth, a static truth and a relative truth.
Static truth is set in stone, it is the rules of the Aeon plan that couldn't be changed or hardly change.
The relative truth, on the other hand, is changeable.
With the interference of a variable, the truth could be altered to one desire.
A paper might be white but with a change of material or a splash of ink, it could immediately change color.
This relative truth is what limits the power of the seal of truth.
Although Maximus could respond to this rapid change of truth, he was powerless to use it in gambling.
"I still need to accumulate knowledge," Maximus muttered.
Ultimately, his limiting factor was the lack of knowledge.
If he could master the river of knowledge, with the help of the Seal of Truth, there would be nothing in the world he couldn't deduce.
Relative truth is still connected with the static truth, if he could master and consider all variables, he could know the absolute truth.
Whether it is used in gambling or to know the absolute future.
With the omniscient power of the seal of truth, everything in the world would only be yes or no.
"For now, let's solidify my foundation," he decided.
With the help of the Seal of Truth, the progress at which he created the Origin Manual reached an astonishing degree.
He originally needed thousands of years to create the improved tier 8 Origin Manual.
Now, the only limiting factor was how quickly he could comprehend octillions of books about the power of law.
In a few decades or a hundred years, Maximus could solidify his tier 8 foundation.
In the meantime, Maximus planned to push a population explosion in the Etherium Realm.
This was the only source of causality points he could easily access.
The larger the population, the higher the amalgamation of will he would receive, thus earning more causality points.
It could even subtly improve the origin of the Etherium Realm, making it stronger.
Currently, the Etherium Realm has over 800 septillion people.
Thanks to the Etherium Alliance and Academy, Maximus was highly regarded in the Etherium Realm.
With no concerns about a lack of trust or belief, Maximus only had to focus on expanding the population.
Using the Seal of Truth to check for omissions, Maximus began his plan.
...
Years passed, and the Etherium Alliance began vigorously promoting new policies.
One of the most notable was the Marriage Act.
All individuals in the Etherium Realm, upon reaching the age of marriage, must have a partner.
Whether they were the coldness goddesses, the prince of the country, the child of a noble, or a talented prodigy.
Unless they are connected to or are an Apex Sovereign, they can't refuse or run away from this policy.
With such a mandatory policy, the Etherium Realm went into upheaval.
Riots and cheers went hand in hand, making the place a chaotic mess.
However, with the iron fist of the Etherium Alliance, no one managed to oppose the new policy.
With no choice, people could only go to the branches of the Etherium Alliance to register with their chosen partners.
Initially, he wanted more softer approach, promising benefits and wealth.
Unfortunately, once he proposed such a plan, Alabaster and Readius mocked him for being too soft and wasteful.
A marriage created for profits would also be broken for profits.
Using befits and spending money for copulation, was not only slow but may also foster defiance among the masses.
Compromising at the littlest of things only shows cowardice and indecisiveness.
The reverence and obedience of people would turn into defiance once they were given everything they asked for.
It might not be seen for thousands or even millions of years, but after a few epochs, it would cultivate people's ungratefulness.
Alabaster and Readius had been practicing and perfecting the method of copulation for countless epochs.
Especially Readius, to have the largest population in the Etherium Realm, it is unknown how many peaceful and cruel methods he tried.
Knowing he was a little inexperienced, he let go and assigned the two for the task.
Hearing this the two smiled, knowingly asking for benefits.
Knowing their intention, Maximus promised they could have free access to tier 11 knowledge if they completed the task according to his requirements.
