The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God-Chapter 756: Iris Out Of Seclusion (2)
Arriving in the Shadow Void Land, Iris couldn't help but pause at the sight of the prosperous place.
Not only was it larger than it appeared, seemingly able to stretch into infinity, but the powerhouses roaming around carried a battle-hardened aura rarely seen elsewhere.
But thinking about it, since they were at the frontlines of the battlefield, it wasn't much of a surprise.
As they continued walking, Iris noticed a long line wrapping around the Shadow Void Land Administrative Hall.
"What are they doing in such a line?" she asked, seeing the excitement and anticipation on their faces.
"They're probably exchanging their harvest for contribution points," Maximus guessed.
With the Void Outpost's power and protection, even tier 10 powerhouses dared to fight the dark beasts.
Killing even one of them would earn massive profits, comparable to several years' worth of income.
Tempted by that vision, they dove into the depths of darkness without hesitation.
Having survived such danger, of course, they were filled with excitement and anticipation, finally seeing the fruits of their labor.
"Tsk, you're still as greedy as ever. So, how much merit did you earn from this?" Iris asked.
Unlike Maximus, who only saw the hardship involved, Iris also saw the overwhelming profits he must've gained.
"Not much… let's just say I could condense dozens of tier 12 ultimate materials every day with the merit I've earned," Maximus said with a smirk, counting his gains.
"Hiss… that's too much!"
Knowing how rare ultimate materials were, Iris couldn't help but be shocked at the scale of his earnings.
In the past, most top forces didn't even possess a single ultimate material.
Hearing that Maximus was earning dozens of them daily made Iris feel like her worldview had shattered.
"It's nothing~"
Even with such huge profits, Maximus didn't think it was enough.
Expanding the Shadow Void Land and building more Void Outposts all required ultimate materials.
Whenever he had time, he also experimented with it, trying to create a device that could extract plane origin like the Ether Devices.
Dozens of ultimate treasures were simply too few for him to play with.
Having just come out of seclusion, Iris dragged Maximus on a long walk, asking about everything that had changed.

Soon, after months of exploring, they arrived at the Outpost Docking Port in the Shadow Void Land.
"Lord, you have arrived!" Ugur bowed, along with the strongest powerhouses of the Eryndor Race.
"No need to be so formal. We're just here to hitch a ride to the Dark Void Domain."
"Then please allow us to escort you to the Eryndor Void Outpost…"
Leading the way, Maximus and Iris entered the grandest building in the land.
Seeing his own statue standing tall before him, Maximus couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"How is the statue we made for you, Lord? With this, we can worship you even in the deepest depths of darkness!" Ugur said proudly, eyes fixed on the statue.
Created to serve him, his family, and the Etherium Realm, it was no surprise that the Eryndor race's belief in him was more devout than that of a god.
Seeing the statue, Iris poked him on the side.
"You look so domineering~"
"Is that so? Your husband can be even more domineering if you want," Maximus said, sliding his hand around her waist.
"You~ How can you bully your sister like this?"
Flirting, Maximus waved Ugur and the others off to take care of their duties.
"Let's go inside. Let's see how I'll bully you~"
"Bully me? This sister is stronger than ever. How can a little man like you withstand my power?" Iris smiled, dragging him inside.
"Too cheeky. Looks like I'll have to break my back today…"

Meanwhile, after completing their resupply mission, the Eryndor Void Outpost began to move, ready to escort their Lord into the depths of the Dark Disaster.
Crossing the sub-domain and entering the Dark Void Domain, they were greeted by a massive army stationed at the entrance to the Aeon Plane.
Though only low-level dark beasts roamed the outer layer of the Dark Void Domain, their sheer numbers made them a serious threat that required constant defense.
"Ugur? You're back late. When are you finally going to take over guard duty here? It's been a thousand years—it's our turn already!" complained Valoros, vice leader of the Order of Maxim.
Each force with a Void Outpost was required to guard the entrance to the Aeon Plane every thousand years.
Having completed their quota, it was now supposed to be the Eryndor Outpost's turn.
"I'm sorry, but I still have other duties to attend to. I'm afraid you'll have to continue guarding a bit longer."
"What do you mean? Are you skipping your duty? It's your turn to guard now!" Valoros grumbled.
Although guarding the Aeon Plane entrance was relatively safe, it was thankless and exhausting.
Endless waves of tier 10 dark beasts yielded little merit, making these past thousand years pure torture.
"Lord Maximus and Lady Iris are aboard the Eryndor Void Outpost. They wish to explore the depths of the Dark Void Domain, so I can only escort them with full focus."
"Lord Maximus and Lady Iris? Damn! You should've said so earlier. If they're here, what are you still doing talking? Go! Don't delay the Lord's business!"
Hearing Maximus and Iris were onboard, Valoros didn't dare complain any further.
This was his master—if he had to guard this entrance for another hundred thousand years, he'd do it without a word.
"Then I'll take my leave." With Valoros' blessing, Ugur quickly urged his subordinates to pick up the pace.
Soon, after pushing through a dense swarm of low-tier dark beasts, the Eryndor Void Outpost arrived at the middle layer of the Dark Void Domain.
Not wanting to intrude on his lord's privacy, Ugur asked the outpost spirit to notify Maximus of their arrival.

"It seems we've arrived…" Maximus said, glancing at Iris in hopes of calling a truce.
A million years was enough for a woman to evolve into a human-devouring beast. Feeling his entire body ache, he could only hope to redirect her attention elsewhere.
"Huh~ We're here already? That was fast…"
Though she was also tired, looking at Maximus, Iris couldn't help but nod at her masterpiece.
Pausing her assault, Iris snuggled beside him, asking for a break.
"Let's rest for now. I need to be at full power to test my strength," she muttered, closing her eyes.
"Hmm, sleep tight…"
