The Pioneer of Knowledge

As Maximus tempted the River of Knowledge with pure Origin energy, its illusory form began to morph around him, eager to absorb the energy.

However, when it tried, it met a barrier Maximus had set up.

"Why do you need such energy…" Maximus pondered.

Fortunately, although the River of Knowledge only had an instinct, it quickly provided insight into why it needed such energy.

Pure Origin was second only to the power of causality.

Containing all the origin of laws and the most primitive energy of the Aeon Plane, everything that sought to evolve desired a piece of it.

Such a pure origin energy was like water for everything to function and grow.

"So this is why the powerhouses were scrambling for the Dimensional Source Physique," he thought.

It wasn't just about having an endless supply of energy but about controlling a unique, untainted source.
