Chapter 746: Final Preparation
After their discussion about the approaching Dark Beast and the corresponding response plan, the absolute powerhouses began to act.
First, they informed all the top organizations and forces about the advanced invasion of the dark disaster.
From a few epochs to a few million years, it was a massive leap that quickly made everyone panic.
However, hearing that there was a solid plan in place, they calmed down and offered all the help they could give.
To this, the absolutes had only one instruction: go to the Shadow Void Land and help prepare for the dark disasters.
The absolutes also tried to contact the Overlords, but because they were deep in seclusion, they couldn't even get close.
Finally, turning to their forces, they woke their leaders in seclusion, hoping to get their help.
With only a few million years before the dark disaster, no matter how hard they trained, they wouldn't make much progress.
Instead of working hard for nothing, it was better to help build the Tower of Knowledge or set up another Void Outpost.
As for the top absolutes like Marcus, Reed, Elena, and a few others, they remained in seclusion, hoping to break through to the Overlord Realm.
Maximus also promised to give them a regular supply of Plane Origin, increasing their chances of a breakthrough.
Although the Tower of Knowledge and the Void Outposts could help deal with the Dark Beast, it was better for the Aeon Plane to have a few more Overlords.
After all, their enemies weren't just the Dark Beast but also the forces outside the Aeon Plane.
Once the barrier protecting them was broken, it would only be a matter of time before other planes and forces found them.
After informing everyone, the Absolutes began evacuating all their forces to the Shadow Void Land.
From every Tier 11 to Tier 10 powerhouse, friend or foe, as long as they found one, they would bring them to the Shadow Void Land.
At this point, self-interest, fear, pride, morality—nothing else mattered but unity to fend off the disaster.
Even so, after evacuating all the Tier 11 and Tier 10 powerhouses they could find, it still wasn't enough.
Barely making a splash, their following targets were the Tier 9 powerhouses from the Tier 10, 11, and 12 dimensions.
With a complete teleportation array system, a single word was enough to inform those powerhouses to go into the Shadow Void Land.
Like a decree from heaven, no one dared to go against the word of an Absolute.
Seeing the result, the Absolute nodded in satisfaction, deducing the manpower available to build the Tower of Knowledge, and the Void Outpost would multiply hundreds of times after they fully evacuated.
Unfortunately, it was still not enough.
From an epoch to a few million years, the difference was thousands of times.
If they wanted to catch up, their manpower also needed to multiply thousands of folds.
To do this, they could only turn to the unknown Tier 9 dimensions.
Located in remote areas of the ever-expanding Void, these Tier 9 dimensions were as numerous as the stars.
To locate these hidden places, most of the top organizations from the Dimensional Alliance and the Devourer Faction spontaneously formed Void transportation fleets.
Finding each of these Tier 9 dimensions, they began to scrape together every powerhouse they could find, adding them to the growing workforce against the dark disaster.
Such a massive operation wouldn't be finished until they either found all the Tier 9 dimensions in the Aeon Plane or the Dark Beast began to arrive.

Meanwhile, in the Source of Knowledge, Maximus also began his preparations.
Calling over Nero and Mira, he gave them their next task.
"You should stay here and help me strengthen the Source of Knowledge. Training is your top priority."
"Yes, I understand, Father…" Nero nodded, already expecting this.
Although he had reached the Tier 11 realm, he still hadn't fully mastered all the Origins of Law or forged a Path of Law.
He hadn't even fully cycled his power according to the Origin Manual or absorbed the ultimate treasures of his current realm.
While this didn't affect his perfected ultimate foundation, finishing it would make him even stronger, preparing him for the higher realms.
Meanwhile, upon hearing the task, Mira was a little excited.
She understood what it meant to come in contact with a path beyond her own.
It was a rare opportunity, not only could it accelerate the formation of her path but also serve as a guiding light to avoid mistakes.
Although Mira had once reached the Tier 13 realm, the memories she recovered were incomplete.
Aside from the core memories, there were only a few techniques and skills in her mind.
Moreover, each plane's laws were unique. Even if Mira had all her previous memories, rebuilding her strength would still take time.
Now, with a path and source at the level of an Absolute as a reference, she could quickly rebuild her power and deal with the dark disaster more calmly.
After giving Nero and Mira their instructions, they happily joined the rest of the family in integrating a Seed of the River of Laws into the Source of Knowledge.
Maximus also began the massive and repetitive task of condensing Rings of Origin.
With more and more powerhouses joining the workforce, he had to keep up with the demand for Rings of Origin.
Otherwise, no matter how many people came, they would be useless without power and mastery of the respective professions.
As for completing the Trial of Origin, Maximus temporarily disregarded it.
He simply didn't have time for such a pointless task.
To experience all of life in the Trial of Origin, it would take approximately 13 epochs, even with Plane Origin.
With the Dark Disaster arriving in just a few million years, taking the Trial of Origin wouldn't give him any immediate benefit.
The second reason was to save Plane Origin for the Tower of Knowledge and to invest in helping top Absolutes advance to the Overlord Realm.
Entering the Trial of Origin would consume about a dozen Plane Origins each day.
Saving that cost would better help them survive the coming disaster.
He could even use it to create Rings of Origin containing his power.
With the strength of a Tier 11 Absolute, these rings would make fighting the Dark Beasts much easier.
Though expensive, creating a few thousand rings that granted power comparable to an Absolute was worth it.
Having thought it all through, Maximus officially began his work.
