Arriving at the ce, Maximus felt the dse origin ergy that almost had the viscosity of a liquid.


    Standing still, he felt his body greedily absorbing the ergy like a thirsty man who had just found water in the desert.


    However, just as he was about to explore the area, murmurs of knowledge tered his mind like whispering curses.


    From misceneous knowledge to the most esoteric, it was being drilled into his mind all at once.


    Ev wh he used the time points to process all the information drilled into his mind, it was not ough.


    Feeling his mind was about to explode, he quickly put up the World Tree Barrier.


    "It''s dangerous," he muttered.


    "This is the source pool of knowledge. How could it be easy? If you chose an aggressive type of source pool, you might be shredded to pieces before you ev react."


    "No, I trust Sister Iris to protect me."


    "Of course. Who do you think I am? Come, let''s head to the cter of the source pool. It''s more conducive for advancemt."


    As they made their way to the source pool, Maximus saw other individuals either cultivating or on the verge of advancemt, remaining in ce.


    The source pool was an excellt ce toprehd and master the river ofw.


    However, because it was monopolized, they had to pay billions of origin coins to stay.


    Thinking of this, Maximus wished to quickly master the river of knowledge.


    By taking control, he could also collect billions and trillions of origin coins in fees from these schrs.


    "What are you smiling for? We''re here. You can start advancing while I set the barrier," Iris urged, seeing Maximus lost in thought.


    "Oh, right." Maximus hurriedly nodded as he looked a.


    The ergy conctration here was much dser than elsewhere.


    Furthermore, ev with the world tree barrier up, various information could still pass through and was being instilled in his mind.


    Fortunately, Iris helped in time, guarding him from the pollution of knowledge.


    Seeing Iris taking out Tier  materials one after another, he finally realized how expsive his request was.


    "I didn''t know you were so rich, Sister Iris."


    "Shut up. I stole this from the sect. Otherwise, how could I fulfill the greedy wish of my junior?" Iris muttered, rolling her eyes.


    Tier  materials were strategic resources, ev in the top sects.


    Taking them out in suchrge quantities was digging the foundation of the Immortal Pce Sect.


    Fortunately, the other supreme leaders of the Immortal Pce Sect were still in seclusion.


    It would take thousands of epochs before it was their turn to exit seclusion and guard the sect.


    That was ough time for Iris to greatly increase her strgth, and she might ev advance to the Overlord Realm.


    With her junior''s help, her gamble was certain to seed.


    Seeing that Iris had already prepared everything for him, Maximus began reviewing the Origin Manual.


    Afterward, he began deducing any pottialplications he might have missed, filling in all the gaps.


    Looking at the 0 million causality points in his system, a smile formed on his lips.


    Since Iris had already invested so much, she didn''t mind a few more strands of causality of power.


    She allowed Maximus to take as much as he needed to advance to the next realm.


    Checking for technicalities and external factors, Maximus found no problems.


    Closing his eyes, he began following the ergy route of the Tier  Origin Manual.


    Advancing from Tier 9 to Tier  involved turning the essce ofw into origin—the root and beginning ofws.


    Tracing eachw back to its origin, Maximus countered a barrier: the mutated essce ofw.


    While others'' essce was like a mist, his was like crystallized strands.


    Changing mist into another form was easy, but changing crystallized strands required tempering and ormous ergy.


    Mobilizing the stored causality of power in his system, he began forging the crystallized strands of the essce ofw, removing all impurities and turning them into their purest form.


    As time passed and each of his esscews returned to their root, the magnitude of power within Maximus grew stronger and stronger.


    From a hundred billion, it broke through to two hundred billion... three hundred billion.


    Iris, beside him, watched in horror, feeling the power contained within such a small body.


    "Could Maximus possess two types of Origin Grade Physiques?" Iris thought.


    The dimsional source was only auxiliary and didn''t provide much power.


    However, feeling the magnitude of power Maximus emitted, it was too much for his fragile body to handle without exploding.


    Possessing two or more physiques wasn''t rare.


    Ev she possessed three supreme physiques thatplemted each other, forming a power greater than those with a single origin-grade physique.


    Most top powerhouses mastering the ocean ofw were also like this.


    Physiques could be innate or acquired.


    With the power and foundation of their sect, conceiving one or two more physiques wasn''t umon.


    However, possessing two origin-grade physiques? Ev Iris couldn''t help but be shocked.


    "So this is why you didn''t want your advancemt to be known..." Iris nodded in understanding.


    Let alone being the key to the Overlord Realm, just having two origin-grade physiques was too tempting to ignore.


    If they could resurrect through Maximus'' body, their chances of advancing to the Overlord Realm were much higher than possessing the so-called key.


    One had to know that the Tier  overlord of the void beasts from the Devourer side was said to have at least three origin-grade physiques.


    Advancing to the Tier  Overlord Realm, the Void Overlord only slept and ate most of the time.


    If not for hisziness and nonpetitive attitude, maybe the Void Overlord could have conquered the Aeon ne by himself.


    Thinking that Maximus possessed the same pottial, Iris couldn''t help but feel excited, hurrying to form the temporary Tier  dimsional barrier.


    …


    Hundreds of yearster, Iris finished setting up the barrier.


    Not knowing what was happing inside, she waited outside, guarding for any problems that mighte.


    Meanwhile, ev after hundreds of years had passed, Maximus was only halfway through converting his essce ofw into origin.


    Looking at the barrier formed a him, he couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief.


    "Sister Iris is still trustworthy after all..."


    Binding the barrier to himself, he continued converting hisws into origin.


    …


    A thousand yearster, since Maximus began advancing, the Aeon ne began surging with ergy invisible to most tities'' perception.


    However, the five overlords of the ne and the Abyss Will clearly noticed the phomon.


    Feeling the unique urrce, they couldn''t help but be alert at the pottial appearance of another overlord.


    However, ssing the phomoncked the power and might of such an evt, they dismissed the idea.


    Tracing the source, they saw a blurry image they couldn''t make out.


    Still, feeling that it wasn''t caused by any outside force in the Aeon ne, they breathed a sigh of relief.


    Nevertheless, wanting to know the root of the matter, they hurriedly mobilized their subordinates to investigate every inch of the Aeon ne.


    Such a unique phomon could only be caused by the birth of a unique treasure or dimsion.


    It might ev prove useful for the currt predicamt of the Etherium Realm.


    …


    Oblivious to the disturbance he had caused, Maximus controlled his raging power that was about to destroy his body.


    Converting all the 6,803 essces ofw to their root, his body began to transform into Origin Body.


    With ts of millions of strands of causality of power pushing and transforming his body to the limit, the void trembled like never before.


    The Source of Knowledge beside him also began to rotate, forming a cocoon, suring and nurturing his body.


    Soon as the years passed, the cocoon slowly cracked as Maximus oped his eyes.


    "Tier  Realm…"


    Oping his panel, a smile appeared on his face.


    [Family and Power System:


    Host: Maximus Shadowcrest


    Physique: Dimsional Source (Origin Grade: 0/Unknown) (Rank : 0/0…)


    Magnitude of Power:  Trillion


    River of Knowledge: 5%


    Family: …


    Time Points: …


    Pottial Points: …


    Causality Points: ,000,74]


    "A trillion magnitude of power..."


    Seeing the number, Maximus felt his strgth more intuitively.


    From a hundred billion to a trillion, his strgth had increased tfold.


    Just this raw number already ced Maximus'' strgth at rank 4 among all the Tier  prodigies he had deduced in the past.


    The prodigy from the Virtual Realm had only .7 trillion, the prodigy from the Space-Time Bureau had .8 trillion, and the prodigy from the Interdimsional Council had 3.5 trillion magnitude of power.


    Reaching a trillion just after advancing to the Tier  realm, Maximus felt invincible.


    As for his power? Maximus felt he could ev challge a Tier  individual mastering the river ofw, let alone these prodigies with only numbers.


    His magnitude of power only measured the quantity, not the quality.


    Advancing to the Tier  realm, his mutated essce ofw retained its crystallized property, advancing into the origin ofw.


    Now, each strand of his origin was crystallized, so dse that it could ev stop the flow of causality of power with ough quantity.


    "Too strong."
