A few thousand years later, in the Etherium Realm, Shadowcrest Castle.

    Holding her bulging belly, Skye knew it was time.

    Using her power, she delicately brought her child into the world.

    "So bright~"

    Though he had no words or understanding of the world, the newborn in Skye''s arms instinctively covered his eyes.

    "Oh? Interesting..."

    Looking at the child in Skye''s embrace, a glimmer of curiosity appeared in Maximus'' eyes.

    "What should we name our child, husband?"

    "Nero, the symbol of knowledge and rebirth..."

    "It''s good." Skye smiled, liking the meaning behind her son''s name.

    Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

    Meanwhile, upon hearing his name, a panel suddenly appeared in front of Nero.

    [Initializing system...]

    [Analyzing physique...]

    [Activating the Heavenly System]

    [Nero Shadowcrest:

    Strength: Baby - Lvl 1

    Talent: Heavenly Perfection]

    Unaware of what was happening, Nero blinked his eyes, seemingly irritated by the disturbance.

    "What happened, husband?" Skye asked worriedly.

    Although she couldn''t see the screen before Nero, she could sense an unusual fluctuation of plane origin around her son.

    "Don''t worry, it''s not harmful," Maximus reassured her with a smile, not wanting to cause concern.

    However, as he analyzed the synthesis of plane origin within his son, a deep unease filled his heart.

    "Just what is this?"

    Though it posed no immediate harm to Nero, the presence of a foreign entity within his body was unsettling.

    After a thorough examination using the Absolute of Knowledge, Maximus uncovered the internal workings of the synthesized plane origin.

    The Heavenly System—a concentrated mass of plane origin that stored all knowledge it had ever encountered.

    Similar to the Virtual System spread by the Virtual Realm, it was divided into countless sub-bodies, each dispersed across different planes to gather knowledge.

    "What kind of organization is behind this?" Maximus thought, turning his gaze beyond the Aeon Plane.

    A force beyond even this plane...

    Even if it wasn''t hostile, he couldn''t help but worry.

    It should have been drawn to the Source of Knowledge once it ascended to the Absolute of Law.

    However, being too weak to exist independently, it latched onto the nearest suitable vessel—his son.

    Suddenly, a thought struck him.

    A system capable of storing all information and knowledge...

    If he could pry into it, he would gain access to a vast ocean of knowledge spanning countless planes.

    Unfortunately, gazing at the complex structure of the Heavenly System, he realized it would take time before he could begin deciphering it.

    ---

    A few weeks later...

    [Basic Water Ball Spell]

    [Scan successful...]

    Ignoring the Heavenly System, Nero quickly opened the book.

    The scent, the texture—each letter on the page gave him an inexplicable sense of peace.

    However, as he flipped through it, his face suddenly turned pale.

    "Nero?! What happened?"

    Seeing something wrong, Skye panicked.

    She quickly picked him up, checking his condition, but nothing seemed out of place.

    Worried, she had no choice but to call her husband.

    "What happened to Nero?"

    "Nothing serious—it''s because of his physique," Maximus reassured her.

    Nero''s physique was extraordinary—the Heavenly Perfection.

    Initially, it had been an Origin-grade Ultimate Physique, but due to the awakening of the Heavenly System, most of its energy had been depleted, downgrading it to the Heavenly level.

    "What''s wrong with his physique?" Skye asked, still concerned.

    "The Heavenly Perfection... It grants the eyes to distinguish all the flaws in the world."

    "He must have seen too many errors in the book, which startled him," Maximus explained with a smile.

    Living in Shadowcrest Castle, everything Nero had seen up until now was perfection.

    Having never encountered imperfection before, it was no wonder he reacted as if he had witnessed something horrifying.

    Picking up the book, Skye frowned.

    "Why even put this kind of book here when you knew this would happen?" Skye complained, seeing that her husband still had time to laugh.

    "This is training. If we let Nero out into the world now, he might kill himself out of disgust."

    Maximus had read that those who possessed the Heavenly Perfection physique had all perished one way or another.

    Their fragile minds, unable to bear the flaws of an imperfect world, had ultimately driven them to self-destruction.

    To them, the world was simply too dirty to live in.

    Looking at his son, Maximus realized how lucky Nero was—being born into the Shadowcrest family and possessing the Heavenly System.

    Suddenly, everything clicked.

    Why was Nero born with such an accursed physique?

    Why did he possess a Heavenly System beyond even the Aeon Plane?

    At first glance, it seemed like a mere coincidence.

    But although dangerous, the potential was boundless—even surpassing his own.

    Thinking of his Plane-level ability, the True Path, everything made sense.

    Nero was the key—the existence that could perfect the evolution of the Path of Knowledge into the Path of Omnipotence.

    Yet, being a curse, Heavenly Perfection alone would have doomed him.

    To counteract it, he needed the Heavenly System.

    As long as it gathered enough data, it could answer anything and everything, granting Nero the ability to mend every imperfection he encountered.

    Individually, they were dangerous.

    But together, they were perfect—as if guided by fate itself.

    Thinking of this, Maximus could only smile wryly.

    "Be good, Nero... Father will be depending on you in the future."
