The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

"Ten sets of ultimate treasures from all laws, spanning from tier 1 to tier 11? Are you still sane?"

An ultimate treasure was not an everyday item, even for the top forces.

A tier 1-9 ultimate treasure could be artificially created, or even tier 10, if one was willing to pay a high enough price.

But a tier 11-12 treasure? That was the true innate treasures of the Aeon Plane, a miracle created by incomprehensible phenomenons.

Such treasures could never be bought on the market.

Even the renowned Void Auction had only ever sold a tier 11 dimensional treasure at its peak.

"This is my offer and nothing else," Maximus stated firmly, refusing to budge.

He didn't need money, materials, or any high-tier creations.

Money could be generated with his unlimited origin energy; materials could be mined after deducing their location.

And as for creations made by others—why couldn't he create them himself?

On the other hand, ultimate treasures were the foundation of his ultimate manual and path.

His family still hadn't absorbed tier 10 ultimate treasures to solidify their foundation.

If he relied on himself to provide all these ultimate treasures, it was unknown when they could advance to the tier 11 realm.

Especially the tier 11 ultimate treasures. Even with the omniscient search and all the money he could generate, gathering a complete set for each of his family members would take a long time.

"What do we gain from this?"

Since Maximus wouldn't lower his price, they could only try to bargain for more benefits or reduce the number of sets required.

"All knowledge within the Tower of Knowledge would be free for all direct members bearing your surname or insignia. The first floor through the hundred-thousandth floor would also be free of charge. Finally, I could cooperate on some additional matters…"

Hearing Maximus's offer, their faces darkened with anger.

Paying millions upon millions of ultimate treasures only to receive such an insignificant benefit? Was he treating them as beggars?

What about the free unlimited deduction of knowledge?

Free simulations?

Or the top floor with a thousand-fold comprehension enhancement?

"We agree to it," said Stella, Otto's mother, raising her hand.

As one of the wealthiest forces in the dimensional alliance, who treated ultimate treasures as raw materials, the Sterling family had no problem paying.

Furthermore, as her son's friend, Stella also wanted to help Maximus secure the deal.

With her signal, Sylvara, Malgron, and Iris raised their hands.

"You! Do you understand how massive this loss will be?" another shouted.

They weren't dealing with scraps but with precious ultimate treasures.

Even with a foundation built over billions and even trillions of epochs, they only possessed a few sets of such treasures.

"Heh, if you can't pay, just shut up and leave. What's a beggar even doing here?" Malgron mocked, smirking as he watched their reactions over what he considered worthless resources.

To him, ultimate treasures were just that—besides his power, he trusted nothing else.

"We agree as well…" said France, the head of the Fritz family, mustering his courage.

He sought to form a marriage alliance with the Shadowcrest family, so what harm was there in investing a few treasures?

Finally, the three little overlords, Luck, Regulus, and Pandora, also agreed.

As overlord organizations, ultimate treasures were insignificant to them.

Seeing this, the remaining leaders gave in.

"We also agree. However, we want additional benefits."

"Besides the first through the hundred-thousandth floors being free, we also want a discount on the following floors, as well as on the use of knowledge deduction and simulation," Noimir negotiated.

As the leader of the strongest sect not yet allied with the Shadowcrest family, he was compelled to stand up.

"Sure, that can be arranged," Maximus agreed readily.

A discount? After he created the ether devices, he would have more money than he could ever spend.

"What about our families' secret manuals?" Lucas added hastily.

Seeing their proud inheritances treated like items that could be cheaply bought was a humiliation.

"I'll remove them," Maximus nodded.

Since he had already achieved his goal, there was no reason to irritate these top families further.

Revealing their secret manuals had little merit beyond showcasing the Tower of Knowledge's power.

The Spirit of Knowledge could create manuals that are far more comprehensive and tailored for each individual.

With sufficient wealth, one could even obtain manuals containing 161,802 laws—just one step away from ultimate.

"I also suggest you follow the Virtual Realm's restrictions on simulating individuals," Luck added casually.

"I know my limits. Unless agreed upon, I'll never share this ability with anyone outside my family."

Simulating a tier 11 individual was the highest he could manage.

If he simulated a master of the river of law or higher and made it public, the backlash could be more than he could handle.

Even the Virtual Realm, with its overlord-level beings, didn't dare to be too audacious, much less he who was only at tier 10 realm.

As for using it privately for himself and his family's training, Maximus wouldn't limit his abilities out of worry.

Finally, after detailing and refining the clauses and prerequisites of the agreement, they began to sign a treaty through a tier 12 contract bound directly to the rules of the Aeon Plane.

This kind of contract could even bind a tier 12 overlord, ensuring everyone couldn't break it.

Afterward, the leaders departed one by one, each promising to pay their ultimate treasure quota within a hundred-year timeframe.

Soon, the large hall began to empty, leaving only Iris, Malgron, Sylvara, Otto, Stella, France, and Pandora with Maximus.

"Would anyone like some snacks?" Maximus smiled.

It seemed they still had things to discuss.

Nodding in agreement, the group followed him to another room, where they enjoyed tea and desserts.

"Maximus, when will you be free? Should we spar now?" Malgron asked eagerly.

"I really don't have the time…"

"Really? That's a shame. How about just one round?"

"This—"

"Please, just one round~."

"Can you calm down? Maximus said he doesn't want to. If you're so eager for a fight, I'll take you on," Iris said coldly.

Though Malgron was a friend, seeing him so close to Maximus left her slightly irritated.

"Eh—really? Fantastic! Shall we start?" Malgron stood up, excited for a match.

"Shut up." With a wave of her hand, Pandora crushed Malgron out of the virtual world.

With the noise gone, she settled back onto Iris's lap as though nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, the others sat in silence.

A master of absolute law! Such strength and power filled them with a mix of awe and fear, but even more, a yearning to achieve such power themselves.

"How are you, Maximus? Do you still remember me?" Otto asked, hoping to break the silence.

"Hmm, how could I forget? Otto, Mrs. Stella, it's all thanks to your help that I am here today."

"It's nothing. As your friend, it's only natural that I help," Otto muttered, feeling a surge of happiness that Maximus still regarded him in the same way.

Meanwhile, Stella continued to observe Maximus with curiosity.

She hadn't expected Otto's friend to be the Supreme Primordial Candidate causing such a stir.

Looking at his handsome face, which had even captivated Iris, she thought about introducing some of her nieces to him.

"Mom! You're staring too much!" Otto said in embarrassment.

Sensing Iris's cold aura spreading behind him, he quickly stopped his mother before things got out of hand.

"Oh~ My apologies for being so discourteous. I see we've overstayed our welcome. Please excuse us," Stella said, pulling Otto away.

Stella herself felt uneasy under Iris's cold gaze.

Coupled with Pandora, who looked ready to intervene, she quickly decided to make an exit.

Although she wouldn't die in the virtual world, it would still be an uncomfortable experience.

Seeing them leave, Sylvara also took her leave; who knew if this zealous witch, Iris, might turn her attention to her next?

She'd meet with Maximus later to discuss some matters.

Now left alone, France couldn't help but start sweating.

"Uh—I'm sure you already know, but I wanted to propose a marriage alliance—"

Suddenly, the air grew tense as he felt his life hanging by a thread.

"Iris—" Maximus held Iris back before she caused another incident.

"France was talking about a marriage alliance with my sons."

"Oh," Iris replied, settling back and quietly sipping her drink.

Watching her calm down, Maximus couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed it would still be some time before he could take Iris home peacefully.

"You mean Valentine and Nora, right? I saw them earlier—they seemed quite promising." Maximus steered the conversation back, easing France's nerves.

"Then, what do you think?"

"They may be promising, but I don't care about marriage alliances or any of that. I just want my children to be happy."

Hearing this, France felt a hint of disappointment.

"What I mean is, if you can convince my sons to marry, then I have no objections."

"What? All I have to do is convince your sons?"

If it was just about charming some young heirs, he felt confident in the appeal of the Fritz family's twin stars.

"Yes, they could even be married tomorrow," Maximus joked.

"As for any alliance that could follow afterward…"
