The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 837: Tempering Body and Will To Perfection

“So, this is the limit of my body. It seems I haven’t polished it enough…” Maximus muttered with interest.

Arriving at the 70,000th floor, Maximus felt his body growing heavier and heavier.

Using his raw power to withstand the weight of the Aeon Plane was harder than he thought.

Such weakness might not matter much, but pursuing the perfect advancement to the Overlord Realm, nothing could be lacking.

Urging his will to support his body, he continued to ascend.

As he arrived at the 100,000th step, Maximus stopped for the second time.

“Even my will needs some polishing…”

The Trial of Origin mainly strengthened his core of origin; tempering his will was only a secondary effect.

Not wanting to slow his advancement, he began urging the power of his core of chaos origin.

Lightening up his body, he continued his ascent with steady steps.

From the 110,000th… 120,000th… 130,000th… 140,000th… 150,000th step, Maximus gradually slowed down.

“These stairs aren’t easy to climb,” Maximus smiled helplessly.

At the 150,000th step, the power from his core of origin was barely enough.

Though he could continue climbing, it would be harder and take longer.

Igniting his source of chaos, he regained his strength and pressed on.

Step by step, as he climbed higher, his feet grew heavier, his breathing became difficult, his mind felt lightheaded, and his vision began to blur.

At the 161,000th step, his movements slowed to a crawl.

“Huh~ this is getting harder and harder!”

Looking at the final 803 steps, Maximus wasn’t in a hurry.

Instead of increasing his power with Origin Explosion, he deactivated the support from his source of chaos and core of chaos origin.

To temper his body and will to perfection, he let them bear a weight that could make them fall into collapse.

Rather than using the stairs to the throne of the Aeon Plane to temper his core of origin, he used them to perfect his foundation.

However, because this was not their intended effect, he began to suffer grievous and excruciating pain.

Fortunately, Maximus was long accustomed to such intensity and didn’t panic.

He began to use the power of the omnipotent True Path, wishing to continuously rejuvenate his body and will at the cost of plane origin to offset the consequences.

Though less cost-effective than using plane origin directly to heal himself, it was faster.

Before ascending the stairs, he had collected over a quadrillion units of plane origin from his family.

Coupled with his Plane Source continuously providing plane origin, Maximus didn’t have to worry that he would be out of energy before his body and will were tempered to perfection.

Meanwhile, as Maximus slowed his ascent, the powerhouses at the bottom of the stairs began to climb.

After being stuck at the bottom, their cores of origin evolved, allowing them to continue climbing.

From the tenth step, thirtieth step, fiftieth step, seventieth step, eightieth step, up to the hundredth step.

Though they were not destined for the throne of the Aeon Plane, their ascension fortified their foundation for their further advancement.

—

Meanwhile, the old overlords, other top powerhouses, and most of Maximus’s family passed the hurdles of the hundredth steps and reached the thousandth.

Adapting to the immense pressure, their speed picked up.

As for Iris, Max, and Nero, who stopped at the 1,000th step earlier, they moved faster and faster, beginning to break through to the 10,000th step.

On the other hand, Lazo, despite his lazy attitude, advanced to the 15,000th step.

Finally, Zar, Marcus, Atlas, and Skye, who didn’t halt their advancement, arrived at the 30,000th floor.

However, as they took another step to the 30,001st, when everyone thought they could all continue, one of them faltered.

Skye, who relied on her bug resurrection ability to keep up with Zar, Marcus, and Atlas, reached her limit.

Stepping onto the 30,001st step, she instantly collapsed, unable to go higher.

Initially, her strategy was to take a step, die, revive, and reset her power for another step.

But, as if hitting a death wall, Skye couldn’t last long enough for the next step.

“This is as far as I can go… Good luck catching up with my husband. I’ll follow you to the top,” Skye said helplessly.

Although their physiques advanced to rank 13, giving them a major advantage compared to the three freaks beside her, they were still lacking.

“Hah! Don’t worry, I’ll tell Maximus you were the last to stand by our side,” Zar said with a mix of arrogance and admiration.

This woman’s tenacity and will sincerely amazed him.

Maximus was truly lucky to have such a powerful wife.

Leaving Skye behind, the three continued their climb, searching for Maximus’s shadow.

Unfortunately, the increasing pressure forced them to use all their strength and will, leaving no spare energy to boost their senses and see farther.

Unable to catch even a hint of his shadow, they could only press on, hoping to catch up soon.

As they ascended to the 40,000th step… 50,000th step… 60,000th step… and finally the 70,000th step, another one collapsed to his knees.

“Huh~ It seems I’m getting old and can’t keep up with you youngsters,” Marcus muttered, trembling as he forced himself to stand straight, maintaining his dignity.

Unlike them, he lacked a special physique, unique will, or extraordinary opportunities.

Marcus had forged his path through battle alone, honing his combat ability to the extreme.

His ability to hold on until the 70,000th step came from a will sharpened through trillions of epochs of relentless fighting.

Without the experience he had reaching pseudo-level combat ability, he might have stopped at the 10,000th step.

“Don’t worry, old man. After resting, you should be able to catch up. When this is over, I’ll invite you to a hearty fight,” Zar said with admiration.

Besides Maximus, the one he most wanted to fight was Marcus.

He yearned to know who would win: the quintessence of combat skill or the quintessence of power!

“We’ll wait for you at the top, Senior Marcus…”

After Zar and Atlas said their goodbyes, they continued their ascent.
