The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 257 Family Package

Months passed by...

It seems that his confrontation with an apex sovereign, the Thief Saint Flinch, didn't happen.

Every day went as normal like nothing happened.

Maximus was also happy and didn't spread the news.

Although he is not worried, with others knowing a bit of his strength, he'd rather not.

However, while he was shopping for Abyss Source in Purgatory, he sensed someone peeping at him.

"Hmm?"

Although doubtful, Maximus's face didn't change.

"Lackeys of Flinch?"

"No, the aura is different."

Maximus's mind began to churn as he processed all the available information.

"Believer of a god?" he concluded.

"Did Flinch tell other gods about me?" He frowned.

If it's just normal peeping, he wouldn't worry too much, but such a malicious and intent gaze.

Maximus was worried that some problem would arise.

Acting normal, he came close until the perpetrator reached the range of his system.

"Believer of the Shadow God..." Seeing the result of the scan, his frown deepened.

He had heard that the gods of thieves and the god of shadow were close.

Now it seems that this rumor is true.

"It's troublesome."

The God of Shadow, Nyx – it was this god's believers that killed his family.

It was the god of the cultists that caused chaos in the former Faerie Kingdom.

Now the question is, what does this god want from him?

It can't only be because of his fight with Flinch; otherwise, it would be too superficial.

"By the way, what were the cultists doing in the Sunburnt Plateau in the past?"

Not finding the answer, Maximus stopped.

"Anyway, when push comes to shove, just fight it out."

Maximus was not truly scared of the God of Shadow or any apex sovereign who didn't reach the peak.

Although his battle with Flinch proved that he is not a match when it comes to raw power.

Maximus's accumulated wealth was too staggering.

If he went all out, he could kill an apex sovereign like cutting vegetables.

"However, caution is necessary."

Maximus didn't want what happened a few months ago to be repeated.

To do that is simple.

Buy a teleportation-solidifying item.

Unless one had gone crazy and sabotaged all the people using the teleportation array, he is safe.

As for the possible direct attack in the outpost or the city, that's even more impossible.

...

Soon, ten years had passed.

It seemed that the God of Shadow didn't really plan to do something.

Even under several temptations, the God of Shadow didn't take action.

Without these problems, Maximus relaxed.

The Shadow Hunter Pavilion became more famous, turning into a household brand.

The Shadow Hunter Guild also added two more shops, one for the boundary later and the central layer.

This skyrocketed his accumulation of Abyss Source.

Although these two layers didn't have many higher-tier Abyss Sources.

From Tier 4 to Tier 6 Abyss Source.

The quantity of lower-tier abyss source in these two layers was at least thousands of times higher than that of the Purgatory layer.

Now, Maximus had Abyss Source equivalent to a trillion system points daily—double the amount he had ten years ago.

However, these were not his main concern.

His main harvest was that he finally had news about his family!

Knowing that he was in the Abyss, his family managed to package a bunch of cargo for the people coming to the Abyss.

Apparently, the Etherium Chamber of Commerce still takes this business.

With hundreds of thousands of individuals from Arcane Continent coming to the abyss realm.

Sending a one-way message is easy.

Unfortunately, because Maximus was in the purgatory layer, he didn't immediately get the message.

After all, even for Etherium Realm going from layer to layer is hard.

Much less finding maximus in these myriads of beings from all over the Etherium Realm.

...

In Purgatory City, Maximus, and Skye eagerly opened these packages.

With various seals that could only be opened by those who practiced 'origin.'

Maximus received these packages intact.

There were dozens of packages in total, each containing messages from his family each year.

There were bunches of letters and recordings with his family telling him how they missed him.

There were also reports of their training progress, various events, entertainment, new foods, hot news, daily banters, and such.

Looking at it, Maximus' eyes nearly reddened as he tried to smile.

Having been in this world of darkness, even with Skye, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

"Are you alright?" Skye asked worriedly.

"It's fine, I just miss them a little."

"I'm here..." Skye comforted and hugged him.

"Just five more years, and we can come back," Maximus muttered.

Looking at the other package, it seemed that Liam and Amara had fully reconciled.

They even produced a third generation of the Shadowcrest bloodline.

Looking at the picture of his new granddaughter, he couldn't help but smile.

"So cute!" Skye praised.

"Hehe, this girl inherited a bit of my bloodline."

"It sure is..." Skye couldn't help but envy.

Besides the messages from his family, there were also messages from his empire and guild.

The cursed continent remained the same, as the undercurrent was brewing.

The lower strata's living environment continued to be oppressed, akin to cattle.

It's not that the various emperors were corrupt, but the sea beast tide was still ongoing, resulting in huge casualties in the army.

Replenishment from civilians was needed, causing them to become numb to living, thinking that it would be their turn to die tomorrow.

Unlike these empires, the Moonlight Empire was like a paradise without any danger.

With the empire-wide array surrounding the whole Sun Sea region, no sea beast could enter its territory.

There were also millions of puppets to ensure that no fish slipped through the net and to maintain its overall safety index.

Besides safety, the empire also became more and more prosperous.

Innovation after innovation, the Moonlight Empire was like a newborn engine ramping up its maximum capacity, heading in a bright direction.

As for the guild, there was not much going on.

Building ships, sailing in the chaotic sea, selling resources, recruiting guild members, training, and doing missions—all were progressing as they should.

Besides the surge of members with over 20 billion guild members, everything was going as planned.

"Hmm? Andrew is about to come to the Abyss Realm?"

...

A few months later, in the Middle Layer, Lakeside Outpost:

The new batch of people from the Etherium Realm was quietly teleported to the Abyss realm.

"Is this the Abyss Realm?"

"The aura here is toxic."

"Just bear with it; I heard that the aura outside can even devour you."

The crowd of newcomers chattered as they talked about the Abyss.

"Huh? I don't feel anything?" Andrew thought.

Unlike others who loathed the very thought of the Abyss.

Andrew felt that the Abyss aura was like a normal mana with different attributes.

"This should be because of the 'Origin' passed by the guild master," he concluded.

Although his Origin domain didn't have any heaven-defying function, it was still ahead of others.

Its only function was observing, analyzing, and adapting.

It was way too backward compared to the 'Origin domain that Maximus has, which had copying, law disposition, mana depravation, and many others.

Of course, all those who practice 'Origin' can develop their domains as they like.

The Origin Domain is just a solid foundation and a prototype.

Like Skye, she was developing her Origin Domain into a Reincarnation Origin Domain.

In her vision, as long as she is within her domain.

She would never die and be resurrected indefinitely as long as there is enough energy.

Even Maximus was a little envious of such a function.

Unfortunately, this domain is based on Skye's special physique.

And even with his heaven-defying 'Origin' domain, it still can't copy the ultimate physique.

As for Andrew, he didn't have the time to develop his domain right now.

He had a mission to quickly support his guild leader in the Abyss Realm.

So as soon as he reached Tier 7, he took thousands of Tier 7 guild members with him and dragged them into the Abyss with various benefits.

"Vice guild master, where should we go next?" a man asked.

"To Central City," Andrew replied.

Unlike the Purgatory layer, the Central layer and Boundary layer didn't have a travel limit.

As long as they complete their daily quota, they can be anywhere in the abyss.

Walking around the outpost, Andrew and the others looked around like hillbillies.

Although it didn't have the prosperity of the top cities in the Etherium Realm, the people around looked a little different.

The weakest was a Tier 7 individual like them, exuding a murderous aura.

"Vice guild leader, do you think we can survive here?" a timid girl asked.

"Yes, just trust the guild leader," Andrew said confidently.

"Is it the legendary guild leader?" the others ask with curiosity.

Although they had joined the Shadow Hunter Guild for decades, few got a glimpse of Maximus.

However, rumors and epic stories about him were already quietly spread in the guild.

If it were a normal individual, they might even be brainwashed into thinking that Maximus was an omnipotent god.

"Let's find a place to stay first," Andrew said.

The teleportation array in the outpost isn't activated all the time.

It takes a month before it begins its operation again.

After finding a residence, Andrew asked them to rest as he sorted out the plan he made for the Abyss.

"I hope the guild leader got the letter, or I don't know where to find him."
