The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 323 The Return Of The Emperor

In the present time:

Just as Maximus was about to return to the Moonlight Empire.

He noticed two streaks of light coming toward him.

"Hmm?"

"Skye?"

"The kids?"

Seeing that it was his family, he stopped.

"Maximus!"

Skye flew into his arms, enveloping him in a hug.

"Sorry I made you worried..."

"No, don't talk; just let me hug you," Skye murmured softly.

After years of relentless searching and not finding Maximus, Skye nearly went crazy.

Although she knew Maximus was alive, she didn't know where he was or if they would ever meet again.

The partings she had experienced in her past lifetimes seemed to have traumatized her, that she feared that she would never see Maximus again.

"Don't worry, I'm here..." Maximus sighed softly, gently hugging Skye.

Although he didn't know what she experienced, seeing her lonely back, Maximus couldn't help but blame himself for his carelessness.

If he had not been careless, this ambush wouldn't even have been successful.

With all kinds of abilities, he created an automated danger premonition ability.

However, because there was no danger to him, the passive danger premonition didn't work.

Maximus was also too lazy to manually divine things, making Nyx ambush successful.

"I need to be more careful in the future..." Maximus vowed.

As the wind blew around them, a tier 9 ship quickly arrived in their place.

"Dad! We finally found you!" Asha shouted, flying towards him.

"Hahaha, Grandfather! We finally found you!" Lila laughed happily, finally locating Maximus.

Maya also smiled as they found their grandfather.

"You found me so quickly!" Maximus smiled.

It seemed that Skye had found him using her vague connection with the system.

As for the children, it was much easier.

Asha's luck was so overwhelming that she could find anything she wanted.

The only reason they hadn't found him earlier was probably because of the reverse time barrier.

This was an innate treasure formed by the world that could trap gods.

Although it had little lethality, it was quite effective at trapping someone.

"Dad, you disappeared for so long. Were you cheating on mothers?" Asha asked teasingly.

Skye, who was hugging him, was also a little suspicious and looked at him.

"You really are a naughty child!" Maximus said, pinching her cheeks.

"Then what happened to you, grandfather?" Lila asked.

"Some gods trap me," Maximus sighed, telling them the story.

"What? How dare those gods!"

"It seems they've been living for so long that they've forgotten the meaning of death," Skye said, full of killing intent.

"Relax, I've already killed the mastermind; you don't have to take care of the rest."

"Even then, I-"

"Don't worry, leave everything to me..."

Too much killing would cause chaos.

He was only tier 8 right now and couldn't fight the world.

Now that he had already escaped their grasp, he had no reason to kill them anymore.

"They're still hateful, Father. You should at least get some compensation!" Asha pouted.

"What compensation do they have? They're probably too poor to target even Grandfather!"

To this, Maximus only smiled wryly.

Throughout the years, he hadn't experienced what it was like to loot an enemy.

He was like a billionaire visiting the beggar's area—no matter what he found, it was worthless.

As for Nyx, he should have had some decent treasure to be able to bring out the Reverse Time Barrier.

Unfortunately, he died too quickly, and most of his treasure was probably in the Divine Continent.

As for the other gods, they were dirt poor; His children and grandchildren were probably much richer than them.

After a bit of reminiscing, he asked them about the empire.

"I don't know anything; I was busy finding you."

Skye has already gone crazy looking for Maximus; how could she have time to care for a mere mortal empire?

Fortunately, Asha and the others knew some information and quickly told him.

Hearing that the empire was at war, he felt a little angry and distressed.

These gods really dared to plot against him.

If not for his wives and children standing up at critical times, the Moonlight Empire would have fallen by now.

Feeling the amalgamation of will directed from the cursed continent, it seemed his empire was still safe.

"Let's go back and see who had the audacity to bully you while I was away."

With a wave of his hand, he urged the amalgamation of will, teleporting them to the Cursed Continent.

...

In the Moonlight Empire, the once lively realm filled with war and chaos had turned desolate.

The great empire that once stood proudly was now in ruins, filled with desolation and destruction.

The architecture, beautiful scenery, and bustling cities that once stood were now gone.

Looking at this scene, Maximus frowned.

"How could this be?" Asha muttered in shock.

Just over a year ago, the Moonlight Empire was still suppressing the Westle Empire.

Looking at the desolate land, they felt as though their eyes were playing tricks on them.

"Tsk, how destructive," Maximus clicked his tongue.

If not for the feeling that his family and people were still alive and well, he would be enraged by now.

Still, seeing that beautiful place he painstakingly built destroyed, he couldn't help but be angry.

"They're not here; come with me."

With a leap, they teleported to the capital of the Empire, the Moonshadow City.

The biggest and most prosperous city in the empire was now filled with people like ants.

A barrier stood proudly as a man floated at the top, slowly eroding the barrier with the Amalgamation of Will.

The appearance of Maximus and the others was soon quickly noticed.

"Is that His Majesty?!"

"His Majesty returned!"

"We're saved!"

"Hahaha, Westle Empire, clean your neck, it's time to die!"

The crowd, tightly packed like sardines in a can, shouted loudly.

A few months ago, the Emperor of the Westle Empire seemed to have awakened.

With the power of an individual, he swept toward the empire with great fanfare.

The legions, the generals, the war weapons—everything was useless.

It seemed as though they were devoured by a black hole, and nothing could pass through.

As a last resort, Isabella used the Tier 9 dimensional weapon hidden in the Empire.

However, the Emperor of the Westle Empire seemed to have long known this.

Using that Amalgamation of Will, he deflected the attack effortlessly, a feat no normal Tier 9 apex sovereign could achieve.

Unless one was at the peak of Tier 9, deflecting an attack from a dimensional weapon was suicide.

Possessing a unique treasure, inconjunction with the Amalgamation of Will, the Emperor of the Westle Empire was invincible.

No matter how many trump cards they had, it was useless.

At the last resort, Isabella and the others used their strength, forcibly holding back the Emperor of the Westle Empire, giving them time to retreat.

The birthplace of the Empire, the Moonshadow City, was their last refuge.

After a heart-wrenching battle, all of the people in the empire managed to escape.

Unfortunately, it's not without a cost.

Several members of the royal family were still in a coma or injured until now.

The weird effect of the Amalgamation of Will seemed to interfere with any healing skills and potions.

Fortunately, the royal family had a great fate; it seemed that nothing could kill them.

Even when they were on the verge of dying, an unknown source seemed to come to their bodies, keeping them alive.

After escaping to the Moonshadow City, riddled with injuries, their Field General, Isabella, activated their last line of defense: a Tier 9 dimensional defensive array.

It is said that it was set up by their emperor, capable of withstanding the disasters of the world.

To their joy, the array lived up to its reputation, stopping the raging monsters from destroying their land.

However, activating the array was not without a cost.

Millions upon millions of top magic crystals were needed just to stop the monsters from advancing.

Although the empire seemed to possess unlimited wealth, it could not last under such consumption.

Furthermore, with about a hundred trillion people living in the city, it can be said they were like ants in a pot.

From the sky to the ground, every space was filled with people bundled together.

If not for various space-folding arrays set in the city, they wouldn't even fit, much less move.

With all kinds of problems, months passed by as they despaired.

Fortunately, they were not without hope.

The Emperor, the omnipotent ruler who built the Moonlight Empire into one of the most prosperous empires in just a hundred years, Maximus Shadowcrest, a living legend, was embedded in their hearts.

Even with all kinds of difficulties and inconveniences, even in despair and powerlessness, even when they were about to die, they kept hope—hope that he would appear.

Seeing that man, they had been praying and wishing for, the hope in their hearts bloomed.

The despair they had disappeared.

All kinds of disasters they suffered were like nothing.

Looking at the man, a consensus suddenly united in their voice.

"WELCOME, YOUR MAJESTY!"

"WELCOME TO THE MOONLIGHT EMPIRE!"
