A year passed.

Suddenly a massive energy wave swept through the outpost.

Maximus quickly noticed that disturbance and looked at the cultivation rooms.

"Finally, it's their turn!"

He felt his wives and children breaking through.

After a few decades, they finally advanced to Tier 8.

He could finally meet them after all these years.

Although he could see them all the time.

But, as it's said, the greatest distance in the world is even if I'm in front of you, you don't know it.

Without further ado, Maximus teleported outside the cultivation room, waiting for them.

Looking at the surging energy, a smile appeared on his face.

"So strong~"

"As expected of my family."

Spreading his domain, he helped them control the rampant energy, making it easier to absorb.

...

Soon after a few days, the energy wave calmed down.

Opening their eyes, they tried to control their rampant energy as they exited the cultivation room.

Outside, they saw Maximus smiling at them.

"Congratulations..."

"Husband!"

"Dad!"

"Grandfather!"

His wives, children, their wives, and his grandchildren simultaneously broke through.

With the same foundation and training manual.

It's quite natural that they broke through at the same time.

"Huh? What about Skye?" Maximus frowned and found Skye still in meditation.

"It looked like condensing the domain with an ultimate physique will take some time."

Knowing what happened he heaved a sigh of relief.

After a bit of reminiscing, he took his family to have a feast.

The whole Shadow Hunter outpost also joined the celebration, making it very lively.

With the addition of hundreds of millions of Tier 6 guild members, the outpost finally had some liveliness.

...

After the celebration, Maximus had a heart-to-heart talk with his wives.

Looking at them, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

"You've become more handsome, husband~," Erica said, looking at his face.

"Is this due to the leap of life?" Hazel concluded.

"No, it should be because we miss our husband!" Luna joked.

However, the others couldn't help but agree with Luna's statement.

With their husband in seclusion and theirs, they didn't meet each other for decades.

Although, as their strength and lifespan increased, their perception of time accelerated.

Their love for each other didn't diminish.

Every second, every minute they couldn't see each other was like a parting of a thousand years.

"Hahaha, don't worry too much, we will be together for eternity, parting for a few years is not much," Maximus comforted.

However, in his mind, he didn't believe what he said.

His family was his fuel, the driving force of all his actions.

If not for them, everything he had done would be meaningless.

After all, who wanted to spend time in loneliness?

Training?

Cultivation?

Entertainment?

Although these can indeed dilute some emotion, it's not forever.

On the contrary, the further you suppress your emotion, the more it will burst through.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

Like Malgron, his emotion is all for battle.

As long as he fights, even for eternity, he won't be bored.

However, his wives, hearing that they would be together for eternity, couldn't help but smile.

Although they couldn't imagine such a long time.

They didn't even know if they could achieve that kind of strength.

Hearing Maximus confidently say they would be together for eternity made them feel that their hard work and training were worthwhile.

"By the way, when would we return to the Etherium realm?" Isabella asked.

The others also looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Although they didn't have any issues in the abyss.

The weather in the Etherium realm is still better.

Looking at the dark sky all the time made them somewhat gloomy.

Furthermore, because of the environment, they needed to fight from time to time to keep their touch.

"In five years, or when Skye breaks through,"

"So soon?"

They thought that they would need to stay here for a few decades to stabilize the guild and their properties.

Who knew they would return quickly?

"The Moonlight Empire is facing some dangers, so we need to go back quickly."

Maximus then began to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

Initially, they were worried about their family staying in the Moonlight Empire.

However, upon hearing that millions of tier 8 puppets were in the empire, they quickly heaved a sigh of relief.

Millions of tier 8 puppets in that backward continent were like a nuclear warhead that could wipe out everything.

Without the presence of tier 9 powerhouses, these puppets are invincible.

Of course, those rulers of the empire who reached tier 8 can't be measured with common sense.

However, seeing their husband's nonchalant expression, there should be no problem for a while.

"Enough of that, let's get to the main business..." Maximus said knowingly.

"Hehe..."

...

Soon, the days and months passed, and everything returned to normal.

After the breakthrough of his wives and children, they went back to their old businesses.

Either scouring resources in the abyss, shopping, playing, earning money, doing construction, etc.

Maximus thought that this would go on until they returned to the Etherium realm.

However, looking at his son in front of him, it seems that there are still breaks and bumps on the way.

"Did you already know it, Dad?" Liam asked calmly.

"Hmm..."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Liam asked, looking at him intently.

"Does it make a difference? Isn't everything alright now?"

"But I still feel stupid and not worthy of any trust." Liam sighed and sat down.

After Liam advanced to Tier 8, he noticed something different from his wives.

They were more majestic and indifferent than before.

He thought it was only because they became stronger.

Who knew, after a deeper probing, he came to discover that they were either a god or a reborn goddess.

It may be nothing to others.

However, the feeling of not being trusted, even by those who were in the same bed as him, hurt him a little.

After asking, even his daughter seemed to know her mothers' secrets.

Knowing he was left behind, Liam felt failure as a husband and father.

"Well, you're really stupid!" Maximus teased.

As for Liam not being worthy of trust, he didn't say anything about it.

Liam is probably his most trustworthy son.

It's just that he is usually dense when it comes to emotions.

Liam, who was hoping for his father's comfort, just became sadder hearing his father's words.

"Instead of sulking here, why don't you go and punish your wives?" Maximus said knowingly.

"Punish? How could I punish them?"

"They're much stronger than me," Liam sighed, not hearing the deep meaning behind his words.

"Tsk, tsk. You're hopeless."

"I'm not talking about violence. How can you hurt your wives?" Maximus said, knocking Liam's head.

"Then what punishment should I do? Talk to them harshly?" Liam said, still not getting it.

"Sigh. Alright, I can't do anything with that stupid head of yours."

"What's wrong with having a wife more powerful than you?"

"Didn't you gain more, like having a powerful backing?"

"Furthermore, isn't it normal to keep secrets? Even I have secrets!"

"A secret is there to protect you or the one having it."

"Previously, you were too weak to even know the details of who you are with."

"This doesn't mean that you're untrustworthy; it simply means that you are weak."

"Now, instead of sulking here, you should train more," Maximus said, kicking Liam outside.

"Also, remember to add another one, so Maya wouldn't be lonely."

...

Soon after receiving advice from his father, Liam calmed down.

However, it seems that Liam was enlightened and understood a bit of his words.

As a punishment for keeping secrets, Liam became more confident and lived like an emperor.

Choosing rooms, choosing positions— as long as Liam could think of it, Amara and Elysienne would happily comply.

But as they said, one should be content when enough is enough.

After a few months of indulgence, the two women who were obedient just a while ago turned into angry tigresses.

Liam, who was weak in strength, was so helpless that he nearly cried.

Fortunately, the two goddesses still gave him rewards from time to time.

Maximus also began to relax.

Using the accumulated system points, he studied the Amalgamation of Will once a week.

With time passing, the Amalgamation of Will became like his hand, doing whatever he wanted.

Just after reaching perfect level mastery, the Amalgamation of Will could replenish his power of law in an instant.

Although his power of law is still not unlimited like his mana.

It was enough that he could fight as heartily as he wanted, without worrying about the lack of energy.

This instantly made up his weak points, making him closer to invisibility.

As the years passed, his mastery toward the Amalgamation of Will reached closer and closer to transcendence.

The light of excitement in his eyes also became brighter and brighter.

He felt that after reaching transcendence mastery, the Amalgamation of Will would sublimate like never before.

A height that was never reached before.

Maximus wondered what kind of amazing changes the Amalgamation of Will would undergo.
