Contacting the top sects and families, Maximus convened a meeting at the Dimensional Origin Library.
Surveying the familiar room where they had previously discussed business, the supreme leaders attending the meeting couldn't help but reminisce.
"We've returned to this place again…"
Initially, the reason they started the war was to avoid ever coming back to this place—to escape the humiliation of negotiating with someone they deemed inferior at the cost of immense resources and wounded pride.
Yet now, not only had they lost the war, but the very individual they belittled had risen to their level.
Looking at Maximus, who sat leisurely, seemingly indifferent, waiting for them, they couldn't help but grit their teeth in frustration.
"Welcome to the Tower of Knowledge. I trust you've been well," Maximus said with a faint smirk.
"Thank you for your concern," they replied sarcastically.
