The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 532: Tower of Knoweldge

Connecting with the River of Knowledge, Maximus carefully guided it toward the Absolute of Virtuality.

A River of Law is a combination of different origin energy born within the Aeon Plane; thus, as long as energy was present, it could appear anywhere.

Feeling the River of Knowledge wrap around his body, Maximus activated Omniscient Mode.

This task was crucial; Maximus didn't want to risk trouble due to a careless mistake.

Upon entering Omniscient Mode, Maximus quickly mastered the merging sequence Zero had given him.

These methods functioned like a password, granting temporary access to the Absolute of Virtuality to connect his River of Knowledge.

As he connected to the Absolute of Virtuality, even with his immortal mind, Maximus felt his head throb, overwhelmed by an enormous flow of information.

Reaching the Absolute meant that a law would no longer be bound to a plane.

Because of this, the River of Knowledge couldn't search, access, or simulate it freely.

Feeling as though his mind was about to burst, Maximus hurriedly merged the River of Knowledge with the Absolute of Virtuality.

In the final moments, he made sure to add gaps and nodes as contingencies for any unforeseen events.

Although the Virtual Overlord seemed trustworthy, he didn't want to put his life in someone else's hands.

As he connected the River of Knowledge, the Absolute of Virtuality trembled as if savoring a delicious meal.

"It's absorbing the information from my River of Law?" Maximus frowned, feeling the flow of data being scanned from his River of Knowledge.

"This is standard protocol, Mr. Shadowcrest. To better simulate your River of Law, the Absolute of Virtuality must know its inner workings."

"As for data breaches, there's no need to worry; we take privacy very seriously."

Hearing this, Maximus nearly rolled his eyes.

Yes, indeed—there was no need to worry about others knowing his information… except for the Virtual Overlord.

"This is just another price to pay…" Maximus can only sigh.

If he wanted to cultivate an army of individuals on his path of knowledge, he'd need to make some sacrifices.

Fortunately, Maximus blocked most of the critical information he wanted to keep private before merging.

Besides various knowledge spanning the present to the future, he secured all other sensitive data.

Being the holder of knowledge, the information he holds is enough to cause chaos if known to others.

As the master on the path of knowledge, he can only do his best to keep it protected away from harm.

As the River of Knowledge finished merging with the Absolute of Virtuality, Zero teleported Maximus back to the Virtual Realm.

Virtual Realm:

"Here is the contract, along with the protocols and payments you'll need to follow," Zero started.

Glancing over the documents, Maximus nodded without hesitation.

It was a standard contract he had seen before.

The main difference was the price: he needed to pay 9 billion origin coins every year to maintain his River of Knowledge's connection.

Furthermore, as it grew stronger, the price would increase accordingly.

After signing and paying for his first year, Maximus received the Virtual Permission to build his virtual domain.

In this domain, his authority was second only to the Virtual Overlord.

All rules could be set by him, and various specialized modules available within the Virtual Realm were accessible.

More importantly, the functions of the River of Knowledge could directly take effect here.

"Thank you for trusting the services of the Virtual Realm," Zero said after processing a series of agreements.

After merging the River of Knowledge into the Virtual Realm, Maximus promptly began his work.

Returning to the Etherium Virtual Domain, he assigned it as a virtual link to the River of Knowledge.

There was no need to create another virtual domain, which would only take more time.

Maximus no longer needed to hide his identity as the owner of the Dimensional Origin Library.

He already had enough strength and influence to protect his property.

Furthermore, with the Dimensional Origin Library established, this once-desolate space—previously only visited by those in the Etherium Realm—would become livelier.

Expanding and rearranging the area, Maximus created a vast clearing in the center.

"The Tower of Knowledge…"

Thanks to the system's deductions, the blueprint for the brand-new Dimensional Origin Library had long been clear in his mind.

Entering Omniscient Mode, Maximus began to envision the Tower of Knowledge in his mind.

From intricate inscriptions, runes, materials, structure, design, arrays, and countless other details.

Maximus was meticulous, determined to create the most majestic and perfect tower in the Virtual Realm.

First floor… second floor… third floor… fourth floor… fifth floor…

Each floor took him a minute to complete, ensuring everything was perfect.

After a few months, as he reached the 100,001st floor, the time required for each floor grew longer and longer.

100,002nd floor… 100,003rd floor… 100,004th floor…

What started as a minute per floor stretched to ten minutes, then half an hour, and eventually a few hours.

By the time he reached the 160,001st floor, each floor took days to construct.

Finally, after years of intense concentration, the Tower of Knowledge—a flawless architectural marvel he had envisioned—appeared before him.

"Huh~"

Exiting Omniscient Mode, fatigue began to take over his mind.

"Too much work—"

He didn't even have a chance to admire his masterpiece as his mind throbbed painfully from overstimulation.

"It seems I'm still too weak to bear the burden of a river of law…" With this final thought, Maximus closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

---

A few months later, after the system had reorganized his mind, Maximus slowly regained consciousness.

"Revive!"

Feeling refreshed, Maximus couldn't help but smile.

However, recalling his recklessness, he began to reflect on his actions.

Creating the Tower of Knowledge in a single sitting and remaining in Omniscient Mode for years was too reckless.

Maximus could only be grateful that his Immortal Mind had done its job, preventing him from being overwhelmed by the river of knowledge.

Reminding himself to be more cautious in the future, Maximus quickly returned to the Etherium Virtual Domain to behold his creation.

Etherium Virtual Domain:

Blocked by a barrier of light, the people had no idea a majestic building had been constructed at the center of the Etherium Virtual Domain.

If they hadn't been informed, the people of the Etherium Realm might have even thought their virtual domain was under attack.

Fortunately, with reassurance from their Supreme Emperor, excitement gleamed in their eyes.

After returning to the Virtual Realm, Maximus gazed at his masterpiece with a satisfied smile.

"What a majestic Tower of Knowledge!"

If this existed in the real world, it might become one of the top 100 architectural wonders in the Dimensional Alliance.

Unfortunately, to recreate the Tower of Knowledge, Maximus would need an enormous amount of money, rare materials, extensive manpower, and a special environment with sufficiently stable space.

Such a rare marvel would be harder to construct than promoting a dimension to a Tier 12 realm.

Fortunately, he was in the Virtual Realm and held a high creation authority; he only needed to move his mind, and all things would generate automatically.

Otherwise, even if he had all the materials, manpower, and a place to build the Tower of Knowledge, it would still take millions of years.

Entering the first floor, Maximus felt like he'd entered another world.

Each floor of the Tower of Knowledge had a tier 12-dimensional size space.

Filled with an illusory flowing river of books containing all the knowledge, techniques, skills, and manuals from across the Aeon Plane.

From ancient to the present, the library stored lost knowledge of antiquity, secret manuals of the most powerful forces, and forbidden techniques of the Devourers.

With a simple thought, a group of books relevant to his mental query appeared before him.

"Convenient,"

The library wasn't cluttered with shelves of books requiring a long search.

Here, all he needed to do was think or utter what he sought, and it would materialize.

From Tiers 0 to 12, anyone on any floor could access the information they desired.

"The Omniscient Search is working perfectly," Maximus praised after testing it a few times.

However, considering the potential trouble, Maximus set limitations on the library's search range.

For Tiers 0 to 10, anyone could access the books as long as they could afford it.

For Tier 11 knowledge, only Tier 11 individuals could search for it.

As for Tier 12 knowledge, access was restricted solely to masters of the River of Law.

Maximus also blocked various secret techniques of the overlords' forces, top sects, and families.

Being only in the Tier 10 realm, he knew allowing such secrets to go public would make him a target, even as a primordial candidate.

After establishing various restrictions on the Omniscient Search, Maximus tried to comprehend a book before him, relying solely on his innate comprehension ability.

"It's so slow."

There wasn't much difference between the first floor and the 160,000th floor, except for the intensity of the causality of enlightenment.

Derived from the system and amplified by the River of Knowledge, the entire library was saturated with pure causality of enlightenment, distilled from purified origin fragments.

From the 1st to the 100,000th floor, there would be an increment of a hundredfold comprehension rate every 25,000th floor.

From the 100,000th floor to the 160,000th floor, there would be an increment of a hundredfold comprehension rate every 10,000th floor.

As for the final 1,803 floors, these were private floors reserved exclusively for masters of the Ocean of Law.

These floors allowed direct access to strands of causality, enabling swift comprehension of any desired knowledge.

They were also filled with an unlimited flow of pure origin energy, which could assist in promotion to the Overlord realm.

This was his preparation for the future.

As he developed more Ether Forges and Ether Refiners to produce unlimited origin energy and strands of causality, these facilities would be essential.

Although Maximus was a bit selfish, he understood that the invasion of the dark creatures was not a battle he could face alone.
