Entering the Data Tower, Maximus was greeted by a massive spear covered in runes so small they were incomprehensible to the eye.

In front of it was a small platform, where one could directly access the data within.

Taking out the ‘key’ Frir had given him, Maximus slotted it into the access point.

As the connection activated, Maximus felt his consciousness extend into the massive spear before him.

“This amount of data…”

Just glancing at the list, Maximus felt a shock run through him.

He assumed the Data tower just contained miscellaneous information and experimental data Frir had collected.

He didn’t expect the information stored in the Data Tower to surpass even the path of knowledge. Of course, it wasn’t about quantity; it was about quality.

As long as knowledge wasn’t erased, lost, or forgotten, everything within the Aeon Plane would eventually flow into the Path of Knowledge.

Thus, no matter how vast Frir’s collection is, it could never surpass the one he had.

Tapping on the first entry, the smile on his face could no longer be contained.

“This Frir was hiding such treasure so deeply.”

The data before him contained knowledge from countless professions, from the rarest to the most ancient.

He never even heard some of them, from archaeologists, shepherds, oracles, scribese, navigators, bards, sculptors, heralds, archivists, and more.

Basically, it contained every profession that has ever existed in the Aeon Plane throughout trillions of epochs.

Most had been forgotten over time, either deemed redundant or simply left behind. Even the Absolute of Knowledge only held up to rank 5 or 6 inheritances on these professions.

However, Frir, a knowledge hoarder, had preserved everything.

The Data Tower held complete inheritances for each profession, up to at least rank 11. Some even extended to rank 12.

Though most of them were incomplete, they still came as a massive surprise to Maximus.

Such a vast treasure trove, once Maximus optimized and exported it, it would cause a surge across all Paths of Law, especially the Path of Knowledge.

Satisfied with his first harvest, Maximus tapped on the second data list: the Compendium of Materials.

Everything was documented in detail, from elixirs, seeds, trees, plants, fruits, metals, and unique materials.

It was so thorough that, with a bit of deduction, Maximus could recreate many materials with his own hands.

Even more shocking, as he scrolled down, the list was updating in real-time, with trillions of materials added every second.

“How could this be? It updates automatically?”

“Yes. Every material born in the Aeon Plane, whether common or ultimate, innate or artificial, is recorded in real time.” A voice echoed in his mind, answering his question.

“A spirit? Are you the spirit of the Data Tower, or of the Space-Time Lab?” Maximus asked, intrigued.

“I’m the spirit of the entire Space-Time Lab, Eve. Please ask me if you have any questions.”

“Then I won’t be polite. How do you keep track of all the materials born in the Aeon Plane?” Maximus asked, voicing his doubt.

“It’s the Observation Tower. It was set to automatically observe every form of matter, law, phenomenon, causality, and origin. As it analyzes them, everything is simultaneously stored in the Data Tower,” Eve explained.

“I see. I thought the Observation Tower could only be used manually. I didn’t expect it to automatically record everything.”

With such an efficient system, it was no wonder the Data Tower possessed knowledge even about extinct and obscure professions.

Unless it was deliberately hidden, the observation tower could analyze and record everything.

Maximus even saw his own biography, everything from his transmigration to his growth, his experiences in the Etherium Realm, and his rise to conquest.

Fortunately, the data recording had abruptly stopped after the creation of the Tier 12 Dimensional Barrier in the Etherium Realm.

Otherwise, Maximus would have been creeped out knowing something was constantly tracking his every move.

“Delete everything about me and those around me.”

“Unfortunately, you don’t have the authority to do that,” Eve promptly replied.

“Why? I have the highest authority, same as Frir. Why can’t I delete the data?”

To ensure everything went smoothly, Maximus had obtained Frir’s highest access to the Space-Time Lab.

“No authority can delete the data inside the tower. Even Master Frir wasn’t allowed to do so.” Eve explained.

To prevent any mishap, Frir had simply eliminated the possibility at its root.

Unless the Space-Time Lab was destroyed, all information inside the Data Tower was permanent, untouchable, and undeletable.

“Tsk. No wonder Frir handed me the key so easily,”

Fortunately, after he had reached the Absolute Realm, the Data Tower could no longer secretly gather data on him.

If it ever tried to pry into his information, he would sense it immediately.

Not wanting to dwell on the issue, Maximus turned to the third section of the data: a vast collection of recipes, blueprints, and processes.

From potion formulas and alchemical treasure forging to architectural arrays, lost array patterns, runic languages, and more.

It covered everything. Most of it, Maximus had never even seen before.

“Not bad,” he murmured.

Turning to the following list of data, Maximus found information on the composition, biology, and history of every race.

Among them, he spotted various races that had gone extinct during the devastation of the Dark Disaster.

Digging through these ancient races buried in history, a fire couldn’t help but burn in his eyes.

“Huh~ It seems the Eryndor race still has room for improvement!”

Just a rough scan of the data flooded Maximus with ideas on how to further optimize the Eryndor race.

Next, opening the list containing various training manuals, skills, and techniques, he couldn’t help but think of the Origin Manual.

Formed from all the manuals he had gathered and mastered, it was constantly evolving as he became stronger.

Unfortunately, having gathered almost all the knowledge in the Aeon Plane, Maximus had hit a bottleneck.

Now, with such a rich repertoire of new training methods, skills, and techniques, the Origin Manual was sure to undergo another overhaul.

The following list contained secret information, special domains, void spaces, biographies, events, histories, and more.

It was a collection of all current and past events in the Aeon Plane.

“This is useful, too~”

Information was the greatest form of power. With the Absolute of Knowledge, he could predict the future far more accurately.

Finally, scrolling to the last section, he found data on Frir’s experiments, from systemized treasures, biological integrations, theories on new energy, possible fusion with dark beasts, paths of law, etc.

This set of data was even vaster than everything else before it.

It contained all of Frir’s research and experiments across trillions of epochs.

Such vastness, such depth, it was clear that Frir had never stopped in his pursuit. He was a maniac, treating everything like a specimen on his lab table.

“It seems Frir is more suited to the Path of Knowledge than I am…” Maximus smiled wryly, thinking of his laziness, always looking for shortcuts.

Not wanting to dwell on it further, Maximus sighed and returned to the task at hand.

There were too many what-ifs in the world. Focusing on possibilities instead of the present was counterproductive.

Browsing all the data, it was time to act.

“I wonder how far the Absolute of Knowledge will advance once I absorb all of this…”
