Three yearster, after copying the Eternal Sect''s unique foundational manual and traveling all over the realm, Maximus bid farewell to Neo and Aria.


    He gasped at the passage of time, realizing there were only a few years left before the second phase of the Dimensional War.


    Maximus knew he had to hurry with his journey, or something might happen to the Etherium Realm while he was away.


    Opening the void portal, Maximus quickly arrived at the Mechanic Alliance''s dimensional base.


    "Hmm? Am I in a spaceship?" Maximus wondered as he looked around at the environment.


    "We are in one of the void ships of the Mechanic Alliance," Jixie responded.


    Looking outside, Maximus was stunned.


    "Is the Mechanical Alliance''s base dimension a ship?"


    "Yes, to be precise, it''s a void fleet made from the cores of a tier 12 dimension. Besidescking some functions of a real dimension, the Mechanical Alliance''s base dimension has all the functions of space,nd, ocean,w, mana, energy, etc.," Jixie exined.


    "The Mechanical Alliance has always been roaming the Aeon ne in search of new materials, so they couldn''t stay in one ce like a normal dimension."


    "How awesome..." Maximus sighed.


    After some investigation, Maximus discovered that the Mechanical Alliance Void Fleet wasposed of 161,803 dimensional void ships, each producing aw of the Aeon ne.


    Each void ship is a dimension of its own, the size of a normal tier 12 dimension.


    Although the overall volume of the Mechanical Alliance Void Fleet wasn''t bigger than the Eternal Sect, it had merits of its own.


    Without the limitations of a dimensional barrier, the void fleet could expand indefinitely.


    With more and more void ships over time, the Mechanical Alliance might even reach the top ranks in the dimensional alliance.


    Enjoying the sight of the void fleet moving around likes and stars in a gxy, Maximus rented a ship to look for Sam and Luke.


    After deducing their location using the Seal of Truth, he found them beside one of the dimensional void ships.


    Controlling the ship, he requested permission tond on Sam and Luke''s gigantic void ship.


    "The masters are in theb and are not permitting visitors to enter," the spirit butler said, denying his request for entry.


    "Tell your masters that it is their father, Maximus Shadowcrest, who wishes to visit them."


    "Maximus Shadowcrest is confirmed in the database and has a father-son rtionship with Captain Sam and Captain Luke. Overridingmands and reporting to the captains..." The spirit butler paused, issuing and overridingmands.


    "Father! Why are you here?" Sam''s voice shouted over the inte.


    "Don''t you want to give me permission tond first?"


    Maximus couldn''t directlynd on the spaceship before him.


    Even with his limited knowledge, he could confirm that this was a bona fide tier 12 void-sailing ship.


    He didn''t expect the Mechanical Alliance to be so generous as to give its disciples such a precious treasure.


    "Oh, right, Spirit Butler, give permission tond!"


    Afternding, Maximus finally entered the ship and saw Sam and Luke.


    "Hmm? What happened to you two?" Maximus asked, noticing they were in a mechanical body.


    "Our real bodies are in the training chamber. We''re sorry we couldn''t meet you in person, Father," Luke said apologetically.


    "Training chamber? Let me see," Maximus asked, curious about what unique foundational manual the Mechanical Alliance possessed.


    The Immortal Pce Sect''s foundational manual was focused on pure training, the Ashura Sect was about killing, and the Eternal Sect involved sleeping. He wondered what the Mechanical Alliance had.


    Taking their father to their training chamber, Maximus was speechless.


    "A liquid solution made of origin ofw and causality of power?" Maximus analyzed, amazed as he saw Sam and Luke in a medical chamber, immersed in a special liquid.


    Feeling the efficiency of their training, Maximus couldn''t help but want to create his medical training solution.


    "That''s right. This solution was made of 161,800 materials containing the power of each origin ofws and strands of causality of power as a catalyst," Luke nodded, also amazed by the ingenuity of the Mechanical Alliance.


    Unlike other forces in the Dimensional Alliance, the Mechanical Alliance didn''t have a unique foundational manual.


    Instead, the sect had a special form to create a solution that could achieve the same effect as a foundational manual but more efficiently.


    "Do you have the form for this?"


    "Unfortunately not. This is an exclusive resource of the sect. We can only obtain this solution by exchanging contribution points," they sighed.


    The Mechanical Alliance was truly a paradise for nerds like them.


    All known and unknown materials could be exchanged in the Alliance. They only needed to produce results and earn a ton of wealth.


    Because of the abundance of materials andplete mechanical knowledge foundation in the Mechanical Alliance, the two had progressed at lightning speed.


    By now, they could stably create tier 10 mechanical equipment and weapons.


    If they wished, they could even form an army of tier 10 mechanical swarms to fight any enemy.


    Hearing their tale, Maximus sighed.


    Among the brothers and sisters, these two had probably progressed the most.


    Although their raw power was almost the same as the rest, with their ability to create a tier 10 army with their own hands, the two were nearly invincible.


    "By the way, why haven''t you contacted us for these hundreds of years? What happened?" Maximus finally remembered what he was after.


    "The Mechanical Alliance fleet was passing through a chaotic void zone. Unless we had special equipment, we couldn''t connect to the virtual realm," Luke exined, understanding his father''s concern.


    "Chaotic void zone? Can you connect with the virtual realm, Jixie?"


    "Yes, host, although the signal here is chaotic, it''s no problem for me!"


    "Is that so?" Maximus nodded, confirming that his two sons didn''t mean to cut off their connection.


    After confirming his sons'' safety, Maximus decided to stay in the Mechanical Alliance for the rest of the time before the second phase of the Dimensional War.


    The medical training solution that Sam and Luke had was already used up.


    Maximus wanted to bring a freshly made one for Lilith to analyze to increase their chances of sess.


    To speed up the process, Maximus helped Sam and Luke earn contribution points.


    From time to time, Maximus was also exploring the Mechanical Alliance void fleet, wanting to steal some of its concepts.


    A moving dimension was up to his taste. Not being restricted by regional void resources and power, the Etherium Realm would have more freedom.


    However, a few monthster, while exploring one of the Mechanical Alliance Void Ships, he noticed a familiar name in the news.


    "Wanderer?! Could it be?"


    Remembering the first mechanical creation he put his heart and soul into, Maximus couldn''t help but reminisce.


    Wanderer was like a child, created by his own hands.


    Over the thousands of years, since Maximus got exposed to the Dimensional Alliance, he had been looking for Wanderer.


    However, time and time again, it proved futile, as not a trace of Wanderer was ever found.


    "Could it be you?" Maximus thought as he read the news.


    He noticed the news about an uing void fight among mechanical creatures.


    Apparently, Wanderer was an ownerless, intelligent mechanical creature that was a rising star in the mechanic ship voidpetition.


    Having innatebat ability and no owner, Wanderer became popr, as many individuals vied to be his master.


    "It''s really you!" Maximus thought excitedly as he read the history track of Wanderer.


    Wasting no time, Maximus hurriedly deduced Wanderer''s position, wanting to meet him instantly.


    "The 7th dimensional void ship?" Maximus frowned.


    The lower the number of the dimensional void ship, the stricter its security.


    Sam and Luke were only orbiting on the side of the 150,000th dimensional void ship, so Maximus was able to reach them easily.


    However, the 7th dimensional void ship was a ce where Maximus'' normal identity couldn''t gain entry.


    "It seems I need to use the special elder pass Iris gave me..." Maximus thought.


    With his experience with Iris, Maximus no longer wanted to use the dimensional pass he won from the virtual tower.


    Who knew if the one he would meet would be as easy to talk to as Iris?


    Shaking off his thoughts, he took out the special elder pass and requested permission to visit the 7th dimensional void ship.


    "Immortal Pce special elder?!"


    Seeing his identity, the operator behind was dumbfounded.


    A special elder of the Immortal Pce was at least a master of the River of Law.


    Given the standing of the Immortal Pce Sect within the forces in the Dimensional Alliance, the operator hurriedly reported to the higher-ups, issuing maximum attention.


    "Why is it taking so long?" Maximus frowned, noticing it had been a few hours since he requested permission to visit.


    Finally, just as Maximus was about to lose patience, he was granted entry to the 7th dimensional ship.


    Passing through multiple wormholes, Maximus sessfullynded on the 7th dimensional ship.


    "Wanderer, I wonder if you still remember me..."
