The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 434  Seal Of Truth

After getting the Seal of Truth, Maximus quickly tried to bind it.

Trying on his own, the seal in his hand looked like an ordinary object and didn't move.

Seeing that even with his power he couldn't forcefully bind an ultimate treasure, Maximus stopped being stubborn and asked the Virtual Tower for help.

A few months later, Maximus looked at his origin, which now had another addition of treasure.

"The Seal of Truth..." Maximus smiled excitedly.

Without any delay, Maximus quickly tried to test its power.

*What is my current standing in the Aeon Plane in terms of power?* Maximus thought.

After waiting for a while, there was no reaction.

"It seems it can only respond with yes or no," Maximus tested.

*I'm one of the millionth strongest people in the Aeon Plane.* Maximus changed his question.

[No]

*I'm one of the billionth strongest people in the Aeon Plane.*

[No]

*I'm one of the trillionth strongest people in the Aeon Plane.*

[No]

*I'm one of the quadrillionth...*

[No]

*I'm one of the quintillionth...*

[No]

*I'm one of the sextillionth...*

[Yes]

Finally getting the answer, Maximus sighed at the impermanence of the world.

Defeating the 161,803 tier 9 floor guardian, Maximus felt that he was invincible.

That was a being that could rival a tier 11 powerhouse who mastered the power of the ocean of law.

However, looking at the result of his deduction, it seemed he was still ignorant of the world.

Calming down, he thought it was natural that he was only at the top sextillion.

First, the one he fought in the Virtual Tower was only a simulation.

Although the top guardian possessed the same magnitude of power as an individual who mastered the ocean of law, the two were still in different dimensions.

One uses the essence of law, while the other uses the path of law.

No matter how high it is, the essence of law can never harm those who forge the path of law. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This is also why, although Maximus could fight a tier 11 individual, he could never defeat them.

Understanding this, he was no longer disheartened.

Changing his mentality, he deduced his standing among all the tier 9 individuals in the Aeon Plane.

As expected, with just one question, he confirmed that he was the strongest tier 9 individual.

Trying the same for tier 10, he was shocked to discover that he was only in the top 7 in terms of strength.

"Who are the other 6 in front of me?" Maximus muttered in puzzlement.

Activating his Origin Explosion, Maximus's magnitude of power could reach trillions.

Although it's a lower-tier energy than the origin of law, to achieve the same magnitude of power, the origin of law needed to be at least one-tenth of the essence of law.

In other words, to match his power, one needed to have hundreds of billions in magnitude of power.

This is already a staggering number.

A normal tier 10 individual only has tens of millions in magnitude of power on average.

The slightly stronger ones have hundreds of millions, with the elites in billions.

To reach hundreds of billions in magnitude of power at tier 10, having an origin-grade physique is certainly not enough.

One also needs a powerful technique, a tier 12 ultimate treasure, and, more importantly, 99 percent mastery of a river of law.

Although one can only partially manipulate the river of law at tier 10, with enough mastery, the power it can send out would multiply one's power.

As far as he knows, there are only over ten individuals possessing origin-grade physiques.

Each from the three top overlords, nine top sects, and some from other top families.

After a bit more deduction using the Seal of Truth.

Maximus confirmed that the six prodigies in front of him were from the three top overlords, two from the top sects, and one from the top families.

"Hmm? Otto is also stronger than me?" Maximus muttered in shock.

After deducing, Otto was the sixth strongest individual under the tier 11 realm.

"What about their strength?" After trying all the numbers, he managed to pinpoint the strength of those above him.

Otto, at No. 6, had 650 billion magnitude of power.

The No. 5 from the Mercenary Alliance had 670 billion magnitude of power.

The No. 4 from the Ashura Sect had 730 billion magnitude of power.

The No. 3 from the Virtual Realm had 2.7 trillion magnitude of power.

The No. 2 from the Space-Time Bureau had 2.8 trillion magnitude of power.

Finally, the No. 1 from the Interdimensional Council had 3.5 trillion magnitude of power.

Seeing the power difference, Maximus was shocked.

Those ranked No. 6 to 4 could still be understood and should be achievable.

However, the top three?

Just what kind of monsters are those overlord organizations raising?

Hundreds of billions magnitude of power were already at the range of tier 11 individuals who mastered a river of law.

As for trillions, this kind of magnitude of power could only be possessed by those who mastered the ocean of law.

Although, they used different tier of energy, to reach this kind of power was insane.

If Maximus hadn't confirmed it with the seal of truth, he might thought this power was impossible to achieve.

After further deduction, Maximus learned the source of power the top three had.

Origin-grade rank 12 ultimate physiques, Ultimate Cultivation Manual, attack-defense-support ultimate treasures, and a complete variety of Tier 12 treasures.

"This is insane!"

Such resources, such might—indeed, these are the monsters the overlords cultivated.

All of his advantages seemed to vanish in front of these existences.

"However, I'm not completely helpless," Maximus muttered confidently.

Although he didn't have the foundation of those monsters, he had the luck and fate to have what it takes.

Until now, the only missing elements in his arsenal were another ultimate treasure, a complete set of Tier 12 treasures, and the rank of his physique.

Given time, Maximus was confident that he could catch up to them.

Just as he was deducing the strength of his competitors, he noticed a peculiarity.

*Is there a tier 11 individual who possesses an origin-grade physique?*

[No]

*Do those who possess origin-grade physique in danger?* Maximus asked gravely.

[Yes]

Suddenly, feeling his question was a bit vague, he asked again.

*Do the overlords mean harm to those who possess origin-grade physique?*

[No]

Hearing the answer, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.

"We're not livestock waiting to be slaughtered..." Maximus muttered, holding his beating chest.

An origin-grade physique could only appear once in tens of billions or even trillions of epochs.

However, Maximus had noticed that the appearance of those who possess an origin-grade physique had come en masse in the past billions of epochs.

Basically, every powerful organization had someone in their ranks.

Seeing this, Maximus was a little doubtful.

There are only two instances of this happening: either something big is about to happen or is happening in the Aeon Plane, or they are being cultivated as livestock.

Fortunately, it's the former.

Trying to deduce what this great change was, he failed.

Maximus couldn't get any answer from the Seal of Truth.

"This is bad..." Maximus frowned.

Based on this incident, Maximus concluded that the change about to happen was so devastating that the Aeon Plane might collapse.

Either that or those overlords blocked the truth to prevent the matter from spreading.

However, no matter what the change was, he will be gravely affected.

As one of the individuals possessing an origin-grade physique, he had automatically become a piece in the game that was about to be played.

"What a fate..." Maximus muttered sadly.

Putting away the Seal of Truth, Maximus calmed himself down.

"No matter what, I just need to be stronger..."

...

In the depths of the void, at the core of the Virtual Realm.

"Master, someone has passed the tier 9 trial you set," Zero reported.

"Hmm? Someone passed? Is the generation today already that strong?" The Virtual Master said jokingly.

"It should be. Otherwise, the era the six of you set would be a failure," Zero said seriously.

"Ugh~, don't be so stiff, Zero. You should smile more," the Virtual Master teased.

"I'm a spirit; I can't make any expression."

"Tsk, so boring~," the Virtual Master clicked his tongue at Zero's seriousness.

Thinking of the brat who had passed the test he painstakingly built, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Maximus Shadowcrest? Hmm, what a good lad."

"He achieved all of this without the help of any organization? Is this kid a monster, or a reincarnation of some powerhouse?"

Waving his hand, he opened the river of fate, tracing Maximus's origin in all timelines.

"No? Just some lucky individual nurtured by the void?"

"This lad even surpassed that arrogant little brat from the Interdimensional Council!"

"Hahaha, this will be fun."

"I wonder what face that old man will make after having his disciple suppressed?"

"Zero, do you think I should invest in this kid?" The Virtual Master asked, thinking of using Maximus to slap that hateful old man.

"Master, we already have Genos."

"According to the Dimensional Alliance Treaty, each power can only have a single Genesis Seedling," Zero said seriously.

"Oh, what a bummer~."

"Well, anyway, as long as that old man's disciple isn't first, I would be satisfied..."
