Chapter 692 Advent of Ascension (2)
A few thousand years later, Maximus fully consolidated the source of knowledge to the absolute.
Expanding endlessly, it turned the Etherium Realm void region into a mist of knowledge.
Under the mist's influence, one could either become a sage, enlightened by boundless knowledge, or a madman, bombarded by the murmurs of the unknown.
Fortunately, after the first burst, the Etherium Realm barrier worked, isolating all harmful substances, keeping only the bare minimum that the people could take.

"Huh~"
Feeling the feedback of the Absolute of Knowledge, Maximus slowly opened his eyes.
"No additional abilities?"
Aside from Omniscient Analysis becoming stronger and more energy-saving, the Absolute of Knowledge didn't give him much ability.
"This is?"
Suddenly, as he pondered whether the Absolute of Knowledge had changed, he saw lines connecting every learning consciousness in the Aeon Plane.
Like a god that could watch every thread of fate, Maximus could see what they were trying to learn.
Waving his hand, an individual having difficulty mastering a skill quickly mastered it to transcendence.
Another wave and the knowledge about it completely disappeared.
"Remote enlightenment and deprivation?"
Trying one by one, Maximus grew in excitement.@@novelbin@@
Everyone, as long as they were below the absolute realm, could be enlightened or deprived of every knowledge they had.
Turning one into an ignorant fool or a genius was but a wave of his hand.
As long as their origin could take it, Maximus could even grant them tier 12 professional knowledge.
Unfortunately, it's only in theory.
In reality, without a solid foundation, one's origin might not even take knowledge as much as one's realm.
As for memories, it was beyond the capability of the Absolute of Knowledge.
However, the enlightenment of knowledge at such a large scale was enough for Maximus to initiate his plan!
It might seem useless, but to enhance the path of knowledge, a large number of individuals must be involved.
Opening his long-neglected panel, Maximus couldn't help but smile.
[Host: Maximus Shadowcrest
Physique: Dimensional Source (Rank 12: 3.9 quintillion / 100 quintillion)
Absolute of Knowledge: 1%
Causality Points: 38.76 quintillion]
"It seems it's time to upgrade my physique…" Maximus decided.
He had always been putting down the advancement of his physique as it was too expensive.
Even after over a million years, the strands of causality the Ether devices refined didn't reach 50 quintillion.
Furthermore, with the dimensional competition coming close, he could only turn his attention to what would make him stronger quickly.
Now that everything is settled coupled with the advancement of the ocean of knowledge allowing him to increase the rate at which he could produce strands of causality, it's time to turn his attention to his physique.
Using all the strands of causality in his hands, Maximus estimated that it would only take over a hundred thousand years for his physique to advance.
"A tier 13 physique?"
Not being able to imagine what such power would look like, Maximus couldn't help but be excited.
Calming down, he thought of what to do in this downtime.
His family was still in seclusion, consolidating their foundation and pursuing the absolute of law.
In these hundred thousand years, without the strands of causality, all his training would have to stop.
Suddenly, Maximus thought of the trial of origin.
In the previous virtual trial of the entity of laws, he still hadn't passed the last trial.
To be everyone and everything, experiencing all their life and tribulations, Maximus estimated that it would take billions or even trillions of epochs.
Carving the trial into his core of origin, Maximus could take it at any time.
Urging the trial of origin, one of the governing laws, the entity of law he was bound to woke up.
"Are you finally willing to take this trial?"
"Why not? I was too busy before, but now I have some time."
"Good, good! How could you be a master if you didn't know and experience the life and tribulations of those below?" The entity of origin laughed, seeing Maximus finally continue the trial.
This was not only about its dream of saving the Aeon Plane from any disaster but also about having a stronger partner who could lead them to a better future.
Passing the trial would allow one to condense the most solid and pure core of origin ever seen!
Once Maximus completed the trial of origin, he might be the strongest existence that could make every conscious being bow in submission.
"I know! Hurry up, I have something to do later."
Fearing Maximus would go back on his word, the entity of origin quickly conjured the trial.

"What animal am I this time?"
"A deer? Not bad."
Having experienced the trial before, Maximus knew what to expect.
Spending the life of a deer, he was quite relaxed—eating grass, drinking from the river, and escaping from predators.
After spending hundreds of years in such a life, Maximus moved on to the next.
From animals to different races, inanimate objects, celestial bodies, and more…
Maximus experienced the lives of different beings for epoch after epoch.
With each epoch that passed, a year in the real world went by.
With all the talents in seclusion, hoping to consolidate and break through to the absolute realm, the Aeon Plane fell silent.
A thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand years…
Just when Maximus was fully immersed in the trial of origin, intending to wait a hundred thousand years to upgrade his physique, a huge commotion erupted in the Aeon Plane.
"Another forbidden path broke through?!"
Sensing the immortal, inviolable energy, they knew it was the sign of another forbidden path advancing to absolute.
Spreading throughout the whole Aeon Plane, all beings seemed to become immortal, with ordinary beings having their lifespans extended from decades to thousands of years.
"The Era of Ascension!"
"The Era of Ascension is here!"
The Era of Ascension—the rise of everyone and everything.
If the Dark Disaster was something that could destroy a plane, then an Era of Ascension was when everyone, even the Aeon Plane itself, was about to rise!
There had only been two recorded Eras of Ascension in the history of the Aeon Plane: the birth of innate creatures and the advancement of multiple overlords.
Facing the third of such an Era, they knew the Aeon Plane was about to change.
