Chapter 746: Breaking Through 1,199th Floor

Neon Star Alliance Territory:

After dealing with everything back at the Chronos Alliance Stronghold, Nash had returned home.

"Nash! You’re back. How are you?"

"Welcome home. How is the unexplored domain area?"

Seeing him arrive, Camilla and Elizabeth were full of smiles. Not having seen him for over half a year, they dearly missed him.

"I’m fine, all I can say is that place is really a treasure vault of resources."

Even without Elizabeth’s luck, one could easily stumble into a resource cluster if they searched long enough.

"I wonder when we will be able to go into such a place."

"Yeah, yeah. Training is really hard and boring."

If they had to virtualize all laws before they could enter the unexplored domain, it would take 60 years.

"It’s not that good. Isn’t it better here? You can rest or train whenever you want, you can even shop and eat a wide variety of food. The unexplored domain area was nothing but a desolate place."

"Who knows if you’re telling the truth?"

"Alright, alright. How about I take you on an expedition after you climb to the 1,000th floor of the Altier Arcane Tower!"

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Yeah!"

As if they’d won, Camilla and Elizabeth clapped their hands and celebrated. Eager to climb the tower, they decided to stop lazing around and start focusing on the trial.

"Wait for a while." Calling Elizabeth, he asked her to bless Skylar with luck first.

"Got it." Splitting off a strand of luck’s origin, she guided it to Skylar with a twirl of her finger. "That should be enough."

Completing the task, Camilla and Elizabeth hurried to the Altier Arcane Tower. They deduced that if they took it seriously, it would only take about two years to climb to the 1,000th floor.

"I’ll take my leave, Supreme Leader." Skylar also said, having gotten his blessing.

"Hmm, take care."

Left alone, Nash could only sigh as he also headed back to the Chaos Origin Pool.

"Huh~ it’s still relaxing here." With the Chaos Origin Pool and the power of will, it only took 1 and a half days to virtualize a law. Not having to do anything, he decided to put all his mind into it.

Two and a half years later...

[1,199th Trial Complete!]

[Time: 3 minutes]

[Rating: SSS]

"What a fight." Nash thought as he exited the trial.

The further he got into the tower, the stronger the opponents became, not only in the law they mastered but also in their proficiency and combat mastery with it.

"This should be enough."

[Altier Arcane Tower Ranking:

1. Chronos Saint: 1,299th floor

2. Ferguson: 1,299th floor

3. Aetherion: 1,299th floor

4. Jiro: 1,299th floor

5. Stragos: 1,299th floor

6. Samara: 1,299th floor

7. Primos: 1,299th floor

8. Atrina: 1,199th floor

9. Nisar: 1,199th floor

10. Zaell: 1,199th floor

11. Diermato: 1,199th floor

12. Kaasha: 1,199th floor

13. Zhi: 1,199th floor

14. Oenus: 1,199th floor

15. Nash: 1,199th floor]

Looking at the Altier Arcane Tower Ranking, there was no change in the order of the names from ranks 1 to 10. However, looking at the floor each one had climbed, it could roughly be divided into three: the major-level teams, the Grand Race Sovereign Alliance, and top elites from other cosmic teams.

"Just how strong is whatever’s on the 1,299th floor that even the Chronos Saint hasn’t been able to beat it in years?"

Two years ago, the Chronos Saint had already climbed to the 1,299th floor, yet even now, after all the other major-level teams caught up, she still hadn’t cleared it.

"Rank 15... This is just enough." Rankings aren’t calculated by rating, but by the order in which they complete the trial.

Initially, he didn’t want to be too high-profile. However, with increasingly intense competition and a desire to attract more top-level teams to the Eternal Star Alliance, Nash had to step up. Taking 15th rank should be enough to attract most top-level teams.

Among the top 14 above him, 7 were the leaders of major-level teams, while ranks 8 to 12 were the leaders of the Grand Race Sovereign Alliance. This meant Nash’s only competition was Zhi and Oenus.

In fact, they weren’t even competing, as 4 dimensional-scale teleportation arrays were still available. It only came down to how fast they could stabilize their alliance and occupy one.

Having already prepared before his breakthrough to the 1,199th floor, the Eternal Star Alliance should have already begun to act by now.

Opening his runic panel, he quietly dismissed his worries.

[Nash Navre: Tier 6 War Emperor

Primordial Unification: 10%

Primal Amplification: 1 quintillion

Physique: 100,000x

Void Affinity: SS Lvl (518), SSS Lvl (1,199)

Virtualized Law: 1,000 (Incomplete - 801) (Complete - 199)]

"I have already virtualized 1,000 laws, only 618 remaining," Nash muttered with a smile. All worries stemmed from the lack of strength; as long as he grew stronger, every problem could be solved.

Completing his climb to the 1,199th floor, Nash didn’t linger in the Altier Arcane Tower and returned to the Neon Star Alliance Territory.

"You’re back, Supreme Leader." Julius greeted as usual.

"How is the population settlement? Is there any problem?"

The first batch of population from the 32 members of the Eternal Star Alliance had arrived a few months ago. Worried there might be some problem, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. With our experience, they were able to integrate easily."

"I see, that’s good."

Turning to his origin space, he noticed the number of elemental spirits had already broken through 3,000.

As for the population of the Neon Star Alliance, according to the latest statistics, it was already over 150 sextillion. When all the population he bought arrived, their number would exceed 1 septillion!

"Right, pay more attention to the environment. We can’t let the people of the Neon Star Alliance suffer any grievance." Nash said solemnly.

Although the power of will was guaranteed to grow as long as the population used the Universal Runic System, it was only the lower limit.

If all 150 sextillion people of the Neon Star Alliance fully accepted and believed in him, the elemental spirits could have already broken through 10,000. Of course, this couldn’t be achieved in a short time. Population infusion was still the fastest way to nurture the power of will.

"Yes, we are already prioritizing the population expansion, second only to the dark gates."

"Not enough; I want you to make it your number one priority."

The dark gates were, after all, more than enough for him, while the power of will had no upper limit.

"I understand." Julius nodded, quickly revising his plan.
