Chapter 232 Changes In the Decades
At night, upon hearing that he was out of seclusion, his wives and children hurriedly came home.
Seeing him in the flesh, his wives and children couldn't help but smile.
Although it's only been three years, it was the longest they had been away from each other in physical reality.
"Dad, did you reach the 7th tier?" Max asked excitedly.
"I'm already at the 7th tier." Hearing his concern, Maximus confirmed with a smile.
"Congratulations, Dad!" Max's smile widened.
They had agreed that once his father reached the 7th tier, he would personally take him to propose marriage to Ella.
Many years ago, Max could already defeat Ella single-handedly.
With 'Origin,' no external force could make an enemy in the same realm defeat him.
However, when he was about to propose marriage to Ella's family, he was stopped by his father.
His father reasoned that their foundation was still too weak.
Although they had enormous wealth, it was nothing compared to an Apex Sovereign family.
This was different from the reincarnated goddess Amara and the new goddess Elysienne.
This was a bona fide Apex Sovereign, the rulers of the world.
If Max had proposed marriage at that time, he might not even be taken seriously.
This is also why previously, he didn't deal much with Apex Sovereigns.
They were up in the sky, living in a different world.
They had already gone through epochs of time, overseeing many incredible things.
Maximus was barely a top prodigy in this epoch.
Having experienced at least thousands of epochs, they knew there might not even be one or two of these top prodigies to reach their height.
Only Fealan and the other old-timers cared about these prodigies.
Because for them, having lived a countless number of epochs,
Even if these top prodigies fell, they would still contribute to the advancement of the Etherium Realm.
These advancements may be negligible, but with their endless lifespan, everything is possible.
Of course, Fealan and the others were so attentive this time because the Abyss Realm was near their world.
This is their last chance to nurture an extra battle force, and they would do everything to make this last bit worth it.
Just like the entry trial of the Origin Arcana Institute.
In the past, it occurred once in ten thousand years.
Now, it was shortened to a measly five years.
The resources that many people fought for in the past can now be sold cheaply.
The exercises that were once monopolized were now almost free to browse.
All these measures are to increase their chances of survival in the coming world catastrophe.
...
Soon, all his wives and children congratulated him.
Even his unfeeling son, Liam, finally remembered and congratulated him.
During dinner, they discussed what happened in the past decades.
Since the Eternal Voyager set sailed, Maximus became loose with money.
Spending lavishly like he owned the world, no one suspected him about the source of his wealth.
Many just shook their heads at such prodigal behavior.
As for his wives and children, with unlimited high-tier resources besides having a rank 8 supreme potential, they also reached the 6th tier.
Unlike him, fishing for three days and working for a few hours, they trained diligently.
More importantly, after he imparted his cultivation skill to them, he had complete control over them.
He can either absorb what they have cultivated or impart his cultivation to assist them in training.
He also had unlimited mana, so he didn't have to worry that his cultivation would regress.
With all of these, his wives and children reached tier 6 in less than a decade.
Unfortunately, because he was also at tier 6 then, they could only slowly train on their own after that.
Now that he is finally at tier 7, he can continue to assist them in cultivation.
However, even with this, Maximus estimated it would take them about a century before reaching tier 7
Besides his family, the Moonlight Empire also underwent a world-shaking change.
An empire-wide array was set up all through the sun sea region.
All the rampant sea beasts in the past had already been sent to the border and regularly cleaned up by his puppets.
Although the empire-wide array is still at tier 7.
Hundreds of millions of Shadow Hunters Guild members were working to upgrade it to a tier 9 array.
Trade in the empire also became very prosperous.
With the channel of the Aetherium Pavilion.
The people on the Arcane Continent and the Moonlight Empire are somewhat interconnected.
With huge spenders from the Arcane Continent, the trade in his empire bloomed like no other.
There are also many thousand-trillion-cost projects that Maximus set up.
Regardless of the investment, Maximus wished to turn the Moonlight Empire into a paradise.
This is also why people from the Arcane Continent took the trouble and visited his empire.
Various attractions are comparable to or even surpass those of the arcane continent.
Many couldn't help but book a visit to see what it's worth.
For the army, they were already hidden from the public eye.
Besides the usual rotation of guards, billions of soldiers were undergoing death training underground.
All kinds of resources that were hard to find or didn't even exist in the world were provided like water.
Tailored cultivation manuals, skills, techniques, and array formations were being trained to perfection.
It can be said that the training specifications were almost catching up to the Origin Arcana Institute.
However, all of these changes—from arrays, architecture, tourism, business trade, and the mysterious army—didn't go unnoticed.
All emperors eyeing the throne of the Curse Continent were like hawks gazing intently at his empire.
Such rapid development made them vigilant and worried.
Their armies began to expand, and alliances between empires became more apparent.
Others also started secretly seeking support from one of the three continents.
The Curse Continent became increasingly silent by the decade, hiding its fangs, preparing for the prey to emerge.
The Moonlight Empire became a trigger that somewhat hastened the war to the peak.
Now, emperors were only racing to reach the 8th tier until the all-out war began.
As for the Shadow Hunters Guild, it already has about 10 billion members.
There were also three tier 9 ships, all controlled by the Eternal Voyager.
Fortunately, one ship's spirit is enough to control multiple ships.
Unless they separated in the chaotic sea, having one Ship's Spirit is enough.
As for the blueprint of the ship, it was the same as the one Silas had made.
As for why only three ships have been made so far, even with a massive amount of money?
It's because Maximus controlled the rate of time a tier 9 ship is produced.
Maximus limited it to at least one ship every 15 years.
It is so that it wouldn't attract much attention.
After all, on average, an apex sovereign only had millions of ships under their command despite a long time.
It can be seen that the materials needed for tier 9 ships are rare and hard to procure.
Anyway, three ships are more than enough for the current size of his guild.
...
After they talk about what happened in the past decades.
Maximus told them about going to the Abyss Realm for the mandatory mission.
As they were about to reach Tier 7, they also knew about this mandatory mission.
Thus, knowing this, the joyful atmosphere was suddenly replaced with a frown and worry.
"Don't worry too much. I will go with Maximus; there shouldn't be much of a problem," Skye said, cheering them up.
"Furthermore, you are about to reach Tier 7."
"I'm sure with Maximus's help, you will reach that realm quickly," Skye reasoned.
"That's right. With my help, you would also go into the Abyss Realm sooner or later."
"Instead of worrying about me, you should prepare yourself."
"Although, as your husband and father, I promise to protect you even in the deepest hell."
"It is better to prevent something before it happens."
Hearing what he said, they couldn't help but be moved.
Like their father/husband said, they were also going to the Abyss Realm sooner or later.
Instead of worrying about their almost omnipotent husband/father, they should worry about themselves.
"Alright, enough of that."
"I will not leave for these few years, so we still have time to do everything."
"I'll also take this time to arrange some things."
"You should cheer up; we still have a long way to go," Maximus ended the topic.
"Don't worry, husband; we will get through this together!" Hazel cheered up.
"That's right, we are also strong!" Erica flexed her flimsy muscles.
His other wives also clamored one after another, cheering the gloomy atmosphere.
The scene suddenly became heated as they looked at each other meaningfully.
"Hey, don't forget us, your children!" Max patted the table to get some attention.
"Hehe, brother is right; we are also quite strong!" Lyla added.
The other children also added their comments one after another, finally getting the attention of their father and mothers.
"Hmph! What about the grandchildren?!" Lila pouted and yelled cutely.
"Hey, you should just shut up and be an obedient granddaughter~" Asha couldn't help but tease Lila.
"Hmph! What a meanie and bad person," Lila pouted further, looking like a duck.
Laughter ensued as they looked at each other, thinking of their happy family.
