In the Moonlight Empire, Maximus' Laboratory.

Inside, boasted advanced equipment and materials that couldn't be found anywhere else in the world.

"How is your laboratory, Dad? I supplemented it while you were in seclusion," Lux bragged.

"Not bad," Maximus muttered, taking in the sight of more equipments and materials than he could remember.

At the center was a tower of unknown height that pierced through the sky.

If not for the space folding in the room, this tower would have been noticeable in the whole empire.

Maximus remembered that it wasn't this tall the last time he saw it.

"Did you also upgrade the Aether Tower?"

"Yes, this Aether Tower is already equivalent to a continental server," Lux replied.

As the empire grew and prospered, the initial Aether Tower was no longer sufficient.

With the other two continents building a continental server, Lux followed suit and spent money to upgrade the Aether Tower.

Now the Etherium realm already achieved a seamless connection.

Everywhere in the world as long as one have enough money one could buy a contact device and interact with anyone in the world.

It can be said that the Etherium realm is in an unprecedented era of interconnection.

After exploring the laboratory and inspecting all the equipment, Maximus turned to Lilith.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"Y-Yes!" Lilith replied, sounding as if she was ready to face death.

"Sit first."

Following Maximus' order, Lilith obediently sat down.

Opening his domain, Maximus began to study Lilith's hidden physique.

However, after a few minutes, he frowned, he couldn't see anything.

It was too vague for him to make sense of.

"This won't do..."

Suddenly, he remembered his system.

In his memory, he had directly awakened his physique with the help of the system.

It managed to piece together all the physiques that could be awakened in his body and directly formulate the energy frequency needed to awaken them.

Silently calling his system, he began scanning Lilith.

[Scanning...]

[Available Physiques...]

[Primordial Origin: The beginning of everything, the source of everything. An ultimate dimensional physique that delves into and manipulates the origin of everything.]

"Primordial Origin? What a name..." Maximus thought, shocked by the brief introduction.

Although this physique didn't directly add power, it pointed directly to the peak.

It was like an auxiliary cheating device that could penetrate the essence of everything.

"Now, how to awaken this..."

Maximus had already studied most of Valoros' memories, among them was the reconfiguration of an awakening potion.

This was a tier 10 potion that could only be created by a tier 10 alchemist.

Thinking of this, he frowned.

Although he far surpasses a tier 9 alchemist, he is in no way close to a tier 10 alchemist.

"It seems that I still need to work hard."

Awakening potion varies from individual to individual.

If it's only a dimensional physique, he just needs to reconfigure a universal awakening potion.

As for awakening an Ultimate Dimensional Physique, he needs to reconfigure a specific one.

Thus, the memory of Valoros could only be a reference.

"How about it, Maximus?"

"I got it."

"That's great!" Lilith smiled widely.

Seeing Maximus was still non-reactive, Lilith simply stood up.

"I'll go to Isabella first, remember to join us for dinner!"

"Yes."

Although he couldn't feel emotion, he was rational.

Staying with Isabella and Lilith could improve his chaotic 'Origin' so why not?

The calmer and more solid his 'Origin' was, the more knowledge he could comprehend.

Thus, even if he already found a solution, he'd like to keep this habit.

Seeing Lilith leave, he went back to thinking about how to formulate an awakening potion.

...

Soon after formulating a methodological plan, he called Lux.

"What is it, Dad? Did you figure out something?" Lux asked hopefully.

"Hmmm, I just needed some time and materials."

"Don't worry Dad, leave the materials to me"

" Just tell me everything you need."

"Oh, here is the initial list," Maximus said, giving Lux the list of materials he thought he could use to create the awakening potion.

Although he couldn't access the Myriad World Mall, he could still buy any kind of knowledge, thus he had no problem knowing the names of materials he needed.

Meanwhile, Lux held his breath as he rapidly calculated the cost of the materials his father needed.

There are millions of materials here; the lowest was at least a tier 3 ultimate treasure.

After a rough calculation, he estimated that he needed at least 100 sextillion to buy all of it.

Thinking that a large chunk of his fortune would be spent just like this, Lux couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"What's wrong? You can't afford it?" Maximus frowned.

Because he was not sure, he needed to experiment with a lot of materials.

Looking at Lux's expression, it seems that the materials he wanted were not so cheap.

"N-no, I can afford it," Despite his heartache, Lux still gritted his teeth and didn't complain.

"Hmm, then you continue. Tell me if you don't have enough money," Maximus said.

According to his memory, the Crystal of Life and the Crystal of Enlightenment produced by his system are in-demand products.

Condensing a few hundred sextillion system points should be enough for him to spend.

Now, the Etherium Realm World's Will is no longer targeting him.

He can now condense the energy stolen by his system.

According to his memory, after he was targeted by the world, his first thought was to condense the energy stolen by his system to give the World's Will a sense of peace.

Unfortunately, it was too late; the dimensional laws at that time were already erratic.

Leaving a clue as to who stole that missing energy would only result in destruction.

Now that all those restrictions are gone, he can go back to business.

"No, I can still afford these, Dad!"

Hearing that his father seemed to have a lot of money, instead of shamelessly asking for it, Lux held himself back.

Although money is important, he couldn't let go of his pride.

After all, his father raised him so well, yet he still couldn't afford anything in times of emergency?

Lux would feel really useless if he still asked for money from his father in this time of need.

"That's good. Then call me after you've bought them. Your mother and I will eat dinner," Maximus said.

"Tsk, Yes, just do your thing," Lux clicked his tongue.

In his mind, he could only praise his father for being affectionate despite his condition.

Gritting his teeth, he bought the items on the list one by one.

...

Soon, a day later, Lux bought all the materials needed.

"That's good," looking at the materials neatly placed around, Maximus nodded.

"Oh, tell me if you need more items, Dad," Lux muttered numbly.

He had already come to terms with the fact that his money needed to be spent.

Anyway, he could just earn it back.

It was more important for his father to return to his original self than to worry about money.

Waving his hands, Maximus started to look at all the materials around.

Spreading his domain, he studied all fragments of information of each material.

Maximus began to imprint these information to his consiunes simulating their effect and use.

Closing his eyes, he began spending system points like there was no tomorrow.

This was another function of Life points: accelerating the time of consciousness.

Meaning each point was equivalent to him studying the formulation of the awakening potion for a whole day.

With over 300 septillion system points in hand, he felt like he had the world.

Unfortunately, even with his tempered mind, he could only process about a billion epochs of information every day, otherwise, his consciousness would be fried.

Soon, in his consciousness, Maximus began to form a space filled with all kinds of apparatus and materials.

After a few years of construction, he began to formulate an awakening potion.

Millions of materials passed through his hands every year.

Different ratios, combinations, methods...

After a day with over a billion epochs passing through his consciousness, he was not even close to formulating the awakening potion.

Day after day, Maximus began testing various formulas, studying for billions of epochs.

In his spare time, the time his so-called family dragged him, Maximus would relax and solidify his 'Origin'.

A few months later, without any result, another so-called son of his exited his seclusion.

Max and Ella had to take care of Maxine so their seclusion lasted only a few weeks to months.

With another creditor asking for payment for the time he went missing, Maximus could only stagger his deduction of the awakening potion.

From a billion epochs a day to a few million epochs a day.

Fortunately, Maximus was getting closer and closer to formulating the awakening potion.

...

Soon, seven years passed.

"It's done..." Maximus muttered.

After seven years and over hundreds of billions of epochs, he finally created the awakening potion.

Looking at the potion, which looked like it contained the universe, a hint of a smirk could be seen on his face.

Getting along with his so-called family generated a bit of emotion inside of him.

Although weak, he could still feel a little happiness.

"Now it's time to awaken Lilith's physique..."
