The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 521: Vow of Marriage

"The Supreme Primordial Candidate, huh?"

The title "Supreme" was a name they coined for the only one who had completed the virtual trial.

All of them had become primordial candidates due to their origin-grade physiques.

Thus, to differentiate Maximus from the rest, they added 'Supreme.'

Feeling the pressure Maximus emitted, they couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

"Over ten trillion magnitudes of power!"

"This is intense! How could a Tier 10 individual possess such power? Is this even possible?"

"It's just a temporary power enhancement. What's the big deal?" Hjalmar muttered, feeling Maximus was a bit of a fraud.

"Tsk, what a weakling, not even knowing what's real and what's not," Linus said lazily.

"That's right, Supreme Primordial Candidate, my ass! He can only rely on faking—" Suddenly, Hjalmar seemed to catch onto Linus's words.

"What do you mean?! Although you're from an overlord force, you don't have the right to insult me!"

"Come bite me if you can," Linus rolled his eyes, turning his attention to Maximus with interest.

Although the 10 trillion magnitudes of power Maximus displayed were temporary, beneath that lay a foundation of over 3.5 trillion magnitudes of power, almost catching up to Paragon.

Just as Hjalmar was about to argue with Linus, Maximus's gaze landed on them.

Feeling the direct pressure, Hjalmar couldn't help but gulp.

Although Hjalmar knew his power was temporary, the instincts deep inside his body told him otherwise.

Fortunately, Maximus continued walking with his wives, heading toward the Ancestral World Tree.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hjalmar looked at Linus as if asking a question.

"He may be stronger than all of us," Linus simply said.

"Stronger?!"

Not only was Hjalmar shocked, but the rest also couldn't believe it and looked to see Paragon's reaction.

Paragon was the uncrowned leader among them.

Being the strongest and most promising, he was the one they looked up to.

"Not quite yet. Although his magnitude of power is greater, his mastery of the law is still at the initial level," Ylva answered on Paragon's behalf.

Although the magnitude of power is the foundational measure of strength, it's just that—foundational.

Techniques, skills, and mastery of such power are crucial.

More importantly, the mastery of the River of Law, a weapon that can wield that power, is also essential.

The top three primordial candidates had already achieved 99% mastery of the River of Law and could enhance their power a hundredfold, using it to an incomprehensible degree.

In actual combat, with their foundation and mastery of the River of Law, they could even defeat a Tier 11 master of the River of Law head-on.

Seeing that Maximus had only reached 30% mastery, Ylva didn't view him as a threat—well, for now.

Knowing this, the others heaved a sigh of relief.

There was still plenty of time; although Maximus had the additional title of supreme, they could still catch up.

"What do you think of him, Paragon? Are you inspired?" Linus jeered, seeing that Paragon remained silent.

"I've seen enough. It's time to go back…" Paragon didn't comment further and quickly opened a dimensional portal back to the Interdimensional Realm.

Although Maximus's magnitude of power was indeed shocking, for Paragon, it was just that.

He felt that he was on the verge of breaking through the 99% mastery of the River of Law.

Once that was achieved, unless he was massively suppressed in power, he couldn't be defeated.

Seeing Paragon leave, Linus and Ylva also felt bored.

Having gotten a glimpse of the Supreme Primordial Candidate, their mission was complete.

Instead of wasting time at this wedding, they figured it was better to go back and continue training.

The others shared the same thought and left one after another.

At the Ancestral World Tree:

Maximus and the others arrive at the grand altar.

"It's your time, Lux…" Pushing Lux forward, they watch from the side.

Looking at Alice, his soon-to-be wife, Lux couldn't help but feel his heart race with excitement.

"Alice~"

"Lux~"

Looking into each other's eyes, they felt emotional, as if the crowd around them faded away and only they remained in the world.

Walking toward each other, they held hands as their wills guided them to make a vow to one another.

"For better or for worse, I will never leave you behind."

"No matter in sickness or in health, we will be together forever."

"No amount of wealth or riches could tempt me to break this vow. I, Lux, will eternally love and care for you, Alice."

Hearing this, Alice couldn't help but feel touched. Holding her husband's hands, resolve flashed in her eyes.

"Whether in obscurity or glory, strength or weakness, I, Alice, promise to always love and care for you, Lux."

With each other's vows, the Ancestral World Tree lit up, blessing their marriage and recording their vows.

As the ceremony ended, the guests also gave their blessings as the whole Elfalhn Realm celebrated with joy.

Emotional from each other's vows, Lux and Alice no longer cared about the crowd and flew away to their own private space.

With the bride and groom gone, the guests became livelier, flying toward Maximus and the others, eager to socialize.

Although the Elfalhn Realm ensured security, with the Masters of the Rivers of Law coordinating the guests, some esteemed individuals still needed to be shown respect and were allowed to approach the Shadowcrest family.

Seeing the nuisance about to arrive, Maximus couldn't help but sigh.

Though they could all leave now to avoid this mess, spreading the influence of their family required them to interact with others.

With all the high-status figures present, it would be a pity not to take advantage of the opportunity.

Unfortunately, even though he thought of this, Maximus was too lazy to engage.

"I'll leave it to you, Liam. Take care of your brothers and sisters," Maximus patted his son.

"Huh? Father?" Liam was dumbfounded, staring at his father.

Leaving him alone here? His small body couldn't handle it!

Most of the guests were of high status, and some were even Masters of the River of Law.

A Tier 10 individual meeting such a crowd could easily be crushed.

"I know you can do it, plus you're in the Elfalhn Realm. They wouldn't dare do anything," Maximus said meaningfully, glancing at the Ancestral World Tree.

Although it looked ancient and harmless, this gigantic tree seemed to encompass the entire Elfalhn Realm.

Like Etheria, the Ancestral World Tree had become this dimension's will.

A Tier 11 dimensional will, though not as strong as the Abyssal Will, could probably contend with one or two Masters of the Ocean of Law.

Knowing his father had already decided, Liam could only sigh.

"Then enjoy yourselves, Father, Mothers…"

Feeling happy to have such a trustworthy son, Maximus and his wives were ready to leave the place.

Unfortunately, three women blocked their way.

"The three Supreme Witches…"

"Please allow us to guide you to a more private place," Sylvara said tactfully.

"Hmm," Maximus nodded, sensing they had something important to discuss.

After teleporting to the core of the Ancestral World Tree and seeing it react to another, the three Supreme Witches finally couldn't contain their excitement.

"A complete World Tree! A complete World Tree that broke the absolute of the Aeon Plane!"

"The curse that was placed upon us—could it finally have a solution?"

Seeing them so ecstatic, Maximus understood their reaction.

The Ancestral World Tree must have sensed the complete World Tree inside his origin.

Although hidden, as the origin of all World Trees, sensing its leaves and branches was easy.

"Maximus, right? Can you tell us how you did it? How did you create a World Tree with the complete origin of laws?"

After calming down, they looked intently at Maximus, asking the question.

"It's because of my ultimate cultivation manual," Maximus said generously, taking out the World Tree for them to see.

It wasn't hard to guess that the advancement of the World Tree had something to do with either his cultivation path or an ultimate treasure.

Furthermore, feeling the warmth of the Ancestral World Tree, even these three Supreme Witches couldn't do anything to him.

It even accelerated the recovery of his cracked origin, which he had sustained in battle decades ago.

Looking at the World Tree with the complete origin of laws, they couldn't help but be mesmerized.

But hearing it was due to Maximus's cultivation manual, they quickly snapped out of it.

If it had been due to an ultimate treasure or some other method, no matter how much they had to pay, they could have asked Maximus for it.

But an ultimate manual? Unless they were willing to become slaves, they couldn't accept it.

Those who followed the path of another would be controlled by them.

Especially an ultimate manual recognized by the Aeon Plane.

"Does Alice also train with this path?" they asked, finally recalling Alice's insistence of marrying a boy from an unknown place.

Although their relationship had grown to an unfathomable degree, it was still odd that Alice had insisted on such a thing in the beginning.

"That's right," Maximus nodded.

"I see." Getting his confirmation, they couldn't help but have other thoughts.

"Do you want to marry a few more wives? Or perhaps for your sons?"
