Thousands of years later…
While Maximus was helping the members of the Order of Maxim reconstruct the Ether Devices, he noticed the Ocean of Knowledge had reached saturation.
"A bottleneck?"
Reaching 9% progress, no matter how much energy he put in, the Ocean of Knowledge could no longer progress.
"It seems I have to fool a few more Masters of the Ocean of Law…"
Deducing new knowledge, helping those who branched from his Path, or even integrating Seeds of Path—all were too time-consuming.
Just one complete Ocean of Law had helped his path advance to such a degree.
What would happen if there were a few more?
As for incompatibility from merging Paths of the same tier, as the Master of Knowledge, he could deduce a solution for everything.
Suddenly, Maximus thought of those homeless Devourers.
Like Valoros, most of them were wandering alone, forging a lonely path without anyone or a place to rely on.
