Chapter 756: Second Stage of Power of Will

A week later, after contacting multiple high-level teams, they settled the price of the Eternal Military Outpost at 300 mother core ships per unit.

Although it still didn’t meet Nash’s expectations, it was enough to make them a profit. Wanting to accumulate more mother core ships as soon as possible, they agreed to deliver the Eternal Military Outpost every month.

As for their needs in the Forbidden Domain, the Eternal Star Alliance could still hold on.

After all, their dark gates were still functioning normally. Besides being unable to control the flow of dark beasts and unable to leave their Forbidden Zone territory, everything was fine on their end.

Instead of using the first batch of Eternal Military Outposts so quickly, it was better to exchange them for more mother core ships.

Each additional thousand mother core ship could increase their production capacity by 1. Selling all 75 Eternal Military Outposts they produced in a month, they could gather 22,500 mother core ships, increasing their production capacity by over 22 units.

If this continued for a year, their 75,000 mother core ships could skyrocket to 1.75 million!

With such a profitable trade, how could they stop?

Thus, every month, they sold their production one by one, no matter what. Whether it was a major team, top team, or high-level team, as long as they paid 300 units of mother core ships, they dared to sell.

Meanwhile, while their production focused on the Eternal Military Outpost, most available cosmic elites began venturing into the surrounding domain areas around the Eternal Star Forbidden Domain.

The environment in the surrounding domain areas was still harsh and turbulent. Before they could build a dark gate, they still needed to clean it up a little.

---

As they cleared each domain area one by one, Nash was secluded in his Eternal Castle Residence, on the back of Tsuka.

In his origin space, the surroundings were silent. All the elemental spirits that once played around him like a bunch of bratty kids were wrapped in a cocoon, quietly evolving one by one.

Looking farther away, over 180,000 cocoons were slowly forming in order.

However, as soon as they broke through, another cocoon wrapped around their bodies before they could regain consciousness.

"The elemental spirits finally broke through 10,000!" Nash’s lips bloomed into a smile.

Although over a hundred thousand cocoons represented each elemental spirit, most were unborn and couldn’t contribute to the evolution of the power of will.

Each day, his origin space could only support the birth of 100 elemental spirits. The rest was used to nourish each elemental spirit undergoing evolution and those that still hadn’t been born.

After over two months, the elemental spirits that broke through a cocoon finally surpassed 10,000, allowing the power of will to reach the second stage.

"The Universal Runic System’s direct connection was really a bug."

For others to reach the second stage, they would need the belief of at least 500 sextillion people. This belief has to be firm, not just a shallow recognition. Thus, in the past competition, it took other cosmic teams hundreds of years of integration to reach such a level.

As for him, everyone bound to the Universal Runic System was equivalent to a firm believer.

During this half-year of migration, 9 septillion people had already been bound to the Universal Runic System. Converted to the lowest degree of firm belief, it could nurture over 180 thousand elemental spirits, enough for the power of will to evolve into the third stage!

"This power of will is truly miraculous~."

Peering through the connected strands of will, he saw every individual connected to the Universal Runic System, or who believed in him, suddenly stop in their tracks as they received the blessing of will.

Examining this evolutionary power, he could tell everyone’s talent, affinity, spirit, and comprehension had doubled compared to before. Those who still hadn’t undergone an evolution even became Tier 1 Void Warriors on the spot.

"This is just the second stage of the power of will? What about the third? Fourth? Or even tenth?" Nash thought excitedly.

The furthest the power of will had reached was the fifth stage, which could automatically make everyone with firm belief reach Tier 3 Void General. It even came with a corresponding 100-times all-around growth buff.

Nash could only imagine the tenth stage of the power of will. Perhaps it could allow the people believing in him to automatically reach the Tier 5 realm.

"It’s still too far away." Nash quickly extinguished the thought.

Quietly feeling the changes in his believers, he noticed the strands of will connecting them becoming sturdier and less susceptible to interference.

Previously, while he could ’see’ from his believers’ perspective, it was blurry, where he could only make do with some shapes and colors.

Now, having connected from their perspective, it was like seeing with his own eyes. Although not as detailed, he could see every facet of the environment as if he were there in person.

Maybe in the future, he could even use this strand of will to descend in person.

"What about the barrier of will?"

---

Teleporting to the Altier Arcane Tower, he began to test how powerful a barrier the second stage of will could provide.

"How is that possible? How could the power of will ascend so quickly?" Tessa’s voice suddenly sounded watching him test the defensive ability of the barrier of will.

"Haha, are you astounded? What about submitting to me directly? I should be able to complete those trials anyway." Nash said confidently, inviting Tessa to submit to him directly.

"Impossible! Don’t dream such foolish things. Countless talents had the same confidence as you; however, as they ascended the Altier Arcane Tower, they were always beaten back by a wall."

Even the creators, the first generation of cosmic beings who challenged the Empyrean Will Primogenal Land, failed to clear their own creation, much less the following generations.

The closest any cosmic elite came to clearing the tower was the 1,615th floor. The last three supreme primordial trials were simply an unbreakable wall that couldn’t be passed through.

"Then just wait and see." Nash didn’t care and continued to test.

Finally, after testing it to the limit, the barrier of will cracked little by little until it dissipated.

"Strong! This is practically invincible!"

Before, the barrier of will could only withstand some of the attacks of an early-stage Tier 9 dark beast. Now, even if it’s a peak Tier 9 dark beast with a planetary domain, Nash could stand still for a short while without taking a scratch.

What made Nash happier was that an attack not surpassing the intensity of the Tier 8 realm wouldn’t even consume the barrier of will. Basically, an immunity to Tier 8 attacks and below.

Of course, cosmic elites were different. Being the top talents of the universe, once they reached the Tier 8 realm, killing a Tier 9 dark beast was not a problem, much less breaking the barrier of will.

"However, this is not the end." Nash smiled knowingly.

There were still over 150 thousand elemental spirits waiting to be born in his origin space. Such a number was more than enough for the power of will to advance to the third stage. At that point, the barrier of will should have complete immunity to attacks from an early-stage Tier 9 powerhouse.

"You really are perverted. How could the power of will grow at such a fast rate?" Tessa could only comment.

"Thanks~, can you take me to the Chaos Origin Pool?"

"Alright..."

---

Taking a dip in the Chaos Origin Pool, Nash began to reinforce the bridge of will connecting to the universe’s origin from before.

Under the infusion of will, the bridge became solidified, no longer a mere mirage. Although it still wasn’t truly complete, he could feel the efficiency at which he could virtualize law increase by a magnitude.

Sure enough, with the Chaos Origin Pool and the enhancement of the power of will, Nash was able to virtualize a law in a single day!

Virtualized Law: 1,165 --> 1,166

If he concentrated on virtualizing law in the Chaos Origin Pool, it would take less than a year to virtualize 1,500 laws.

"This should help me catch up to those supreme leaders..."

While Nash was still stuck at the Tier 6 realm, most of those top cosmic elites were already at the Tier 7 realm, fusing laws. Although the primordial fusion path gave him an edge to fight face-to-face and even suppress some of them, he was still lagging behind.

Deep in thought, Nash unconsciously played with a jelly-like substance in his hands.

"Pity, this Faith Essence doesn’t have any effect on me."

From Faith Crystal to Faith Essence, although it also evolved with the power of will, it held no benefit for him. Nash could only wait for the power of will to evolve into the third stage and produce the Faith Origin Crystal.

According to the information in the Altier Arcane Tower, it had an effect even at the origin level, which should help him with primordial fusion.

"Grow as soon as possible, little elemental spirits..." Nash murmured in his mind as he scanned the elemental spirits in his origin space.

Whether those born earlier or just born, all of them were wrapped in a cocoon, evolving to another level.
