The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 490: Family Reunion(2)

"I'm Ethan, the child of Neo and Aria Shadowcrest. My father said to play with you," Ethan introduced himself.

However, instead of getting an answer, he was greeted by Lance's silce as he continued to swing his sword, ignoring Ethan's presce.

"Hello, I'm talking to you. Are you still conscious?" Ethan said lazily.

"Step aside and wait for me to finish my training," Lance finally answered, seeing the annoying Ethan.

"Okay~"

A few hours later, Lance carelessly shook the sleeping Ethan.

"Wake up; we still have a lot to do."

"What?! I just got here; let me rest."

"Uncle Neo trusted you to me, so you better list," Lance said solemnly.

"Tsk, fine, where are we going?"

"To the castle."

As they walked a the castle, Ethan had a lazy and disdainful look.

He had be born in a Tier dimsion of one of the top forces in the world.

All he had se and expericed were the pinnacle of existce in the Aeon Plane.

Looking at the shabby castle, Ethan grew a little impatit.

"Unimpressed?" Lance asked knowingly.

The castle was made tirely of Tier 9 and materials.

Compared to the Eternal Sect, which lavishly used Tier materials, the castle seemed shabby.

"Yes. Can't we just sleep? You don't have to waste your time on me."

"Your ignorant thoughts are a shame to the Shadowcrest family. You should look at the essce of things, not just their outward appearance," Lance muttered, flicking his head.

"What?" Ethan shouted in pain, glaring angrily at Lance.

"Look a, and don't just focus on the materials it's made of. Don't be impatit and arrogant."

"What is there to see in this shabby castle?"

As Ethan looked a, he suddly froze in shock.

"Is this an intersecting Tier 9 Array?! Furthermore, there's no error or discrepancy. What a work of art! How is this ev possible?"

An intersecting array connects one array to another, compounding its power beyond limits.

Normally, the higher the array, the harder it is to link them together.

Ev in the Eternal Sect, he had only se 3-5 intersecting Tier arrays.

But now, looking at the infinite number of micro-arrays plastered all over the walls, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"This is just the outer wall. If you go to the core of the castle, you'll find Tier intersecting arrays."

"Who created this? Such a masterpiece, I want to learn!" Ethan said excitedly.

"This is the work of grandfather, the foundation of our family."

Maximus had worked hard to rovate the castle where his family lived.

Besides the external walls made of mixed Tier 9 and materials, the core of the castle was made of rare Tier materials.

The investmt and effort he put into the castle were no less than what he had put into the Etherium Realm, perhaps ev more.

This castle was the foundation of their family, their abode in the tire Aeon Plane.

The intersecting arrays were one of Maximus's painstaking works.

After spding thousands of years on deductions and hard labor, the castle's defses were stronger than that of the Etherium Realm.

As Lance took Ethan a the castle, Ethan's disdainful look slowly turned into amazemt and admiration.

He hadn't expected the gtle grandfather he had met earlier to be so fierce and skilled.

From arrays, training facilities, comfort, leisure, ambice, the Castle was like a paradise and homely.

Ev the Tier elders of the Eternal Sect might not compare to his grandfather's abilities.

After wandering a the castle, Lance took Ethan a the Moonshadow Imperial City.

It was the birthplace of the Shadowcrest family, full of history and memories.

After reaching a certain size, the city stopped expanding, preserving its architecture.

From historical buildings, statues, stores, parks, and ev roads were kept in place.

Although the outward appearance remained the same, the foundational arrays and structures had be reinforced to the limit.

A home for the oldest families and factions of the Astral Contint, Ethan had fun exploring the place.

After touring the city and the tire Moonlight Empire, they took a teleportation array to the Chaotic Contint.

Although Lance and Ethan were only Tier 5 and 3, they had a Tier shadow protector with them.

Confidtly vturing into the cter of the Etherium Realm, the most chaotic place in the world, the two began to learn about the struggles of the world.

Although the Eryndors and the other contints had united to fight the Blood Ragnarok Realm, the Chaotic Contint remained plagued by bloodshed and war.

After thousands of years, the place had become a battlefield for Tier 8 powerhouses.

Fighting for prosperous land, vying to carve out their private territories and become emperors, competing for their future and goals, the Chaotic Contint had become the most lively place.

The Eryndor race had also begun to spread all over the contint, fighting and befriding multiple fronts, beginning to integrate into the world.

With their connection to the outside world, they had finally learned the true nature of their God.

Although this broke the mysteriousness, it didn't shake their faith but made it ev firmer.

The Eryndor race also began intermingling with other races, producing a hybrid geration.

Though many were born weaker without the talt of the mighty Eryndor race, some mutated, breaking ev the limits of their talt.

After visiting the lawless land full of chaos and struggle, Ethan learned more about the Etherium Realm.

After exploring the other three contints, they returned to Shadowcrest Castle for the gathering.

"Lux, you're finally out! I thought you'd forgott about us." Liam joked, seeing Lux finally exit the Virtual Realm.

"What about this young lady? Mind introducing her to us?" Max asked, looking at the woman beside Lux.

"This is Alice, my business partner…"

"Just business partner?" Nathan teased.

"Brother, wh are you getting married? I'll start thinking about what gift to prepare." Neo joined in.

As for Sam and Luke, they sat siltly to the side, embarrassed that they were the only ones without a partner.

"You guys, don't embarrass the guest," Lux said helplessly.

Fortunately, seeing Alice didn't get angry, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm Alice Elfalhn. As Mr. Lux said, we are merely business partners, nothing more," Alice said with a touch of coldness.

"Is that so? Th please forgive our rudess. We thought you were Lux's partner since this is a family gathering." Liam said solemnly, not caring about Alice's idtity.

This was a family gathering, not a business matter.

Looking at Lux, he coldly signaled for him to sd off the guest.

"Brother… Alice is from the Elfalhn race. Don't be rude."

The Elfalhn race was one of the top families in the Aeon Plane, second only to the top sects.

The Elfalhn race was ranked among the top families due to their unique structure.

Born from the Ancestral World Tree, they shared the same origin, like a family.

Hearing his brother's words, Lux's heart nearly stopped, fearing he had offded Alice.

And as for the gossip about him chasing Alice?

What a joke! Lux's heart was only set on making money.

No matter how beautiful or rich a woman was, it wouldn't move him.

Unfortunately, this Alice was a bit pushy, wanting to visit the Etherium Realm, she threated him using her family's influce.

"I don't care. This is a family gathering—no outsiders allowed!" Liam insisted.

The others also lost their playful attitudes, looking at Lux with displeasure.

Seeing not ev a hint of romantic interest in Lux's eyes, they confirmed that they were merely business partners.

"Are you sure you want to kick me out?" Alice muttered, looking at them emotionlessly.

"We apologize, but this is a family gathering, and we cannot mix it with outside matters," Liam repeated firmly.

What about the Elfalhn race? So what if they offded a top family?

Their brother and sister's connections were no joke.

Each of them was equivalt to a preparatory saint, just shy of becoming sect successors. How could a mere top family intimidate them?

Lux was just too timid, afraid that it would affect his business dealings.

But they didn't care about money; they would rather see Lux bankrupt than let their family gathering be disturbed.

If Maximus knew about this, he wouldn't care either.

With his strgth and his relationship with Iris, aside from the overlords, there wasn't anyone he feared.

Unfortunately, Maximus was busy working on deducing the tier liquid solution with his wives, so he couldn't scold Lux himself.

Seeing the resolve in his brothers' eyes, Lux smiled helplessly, preparing to sd Alice away.

"Miss Alice, I apologize… It seems you'll have to visit the Etherium Realm another time…"

"No!" Alice frowned, thinking deeply.

The Ancestral World Tree had be urging her to come to the Etherium Realm repeatedly.

At first, she didn't understand why, but now, stepping foot in the Etherium Realm, it seemed something important to the Elfalhn race was about to be born here.

"Miss Alice, I—" Before Lux could finish speaking, Alice firmly grabbed his hand.

"Ar't we boyfrid and girlfrid? That means I'm part of the family too!"
