Chapter 365: Alliance Invitations
Having fused his soul saturation and fortification, next came the soul condensation.

“I wonder if my genetic ability would evolve another level once that happens…”

From S to SS class grade, the power of the celestial beast could increase from 300 times to 700 times!

Imagining hundreds of celestial beasts with talent higher than most of those monstrous elites, Nash couldn’t help but smile.

However, as he remembered the speed at which he was condensing his soul, his expression quickly turned gloomy.

“When will I finish soul condensation at this rate?”

Each day, after completing a full training session with the [Training Module System], his progress barely increased by 1%.

To reach a 1,000,000% soul condensation rate, it might take him thousands of years.

As for converting his soul transformation progression into soul condensation, it wasn’t possible.

While soul saturation, fortification, and condensation were processes of accumulation, soul transformation was a process of purification from within.

It wasn’t a separate entity from the soul core, but part of it.

Thus, once he tried to convert it to a lower-phase energy, the soul core might collapse from the inside out.

Due to his unstable foundation, he hadn’t even begun his soul transformation after reaching 10%.

He noticed that doing so would disregard his work on soul saturation and soul fortification, causing a larger imbalance in his foundation.

“What a headache.”

To solve this problem, he needed to increase his condensation rate to 1,000,000%, then fuse his soul again to reach the perfect state for soul transformation.

If he relied only on training, the process would be slow as a crawl. He estimated it would take him hundreds of years just to reach a 100,000% soul condensation rate.

Fortunately, he had already thought of an ingenious solution.

Although he couldn’t convert a soul core that had already been purified, he could use the pure soul energy provided by the soul transformation potion to increase his soul condensation rate.

While it was expensive, if his theory was correct, it should work.

Nash just needed to deduce the method and slightly modify his [Training Module System], and he should be able to start increasing his soul condensation rate again.

As for the Soul Transformation potions themselves, as he wasn’t picky, he managed to trade for a few with other cosmic teams.

Since the energy wouldn’t directly feed back into his soul core but would be converted right away, he didn’t need to worry about the impurities. He could just filter them out during the process.

“Perfect~,” Nash smiled, thinking of his plan.

Soon, after stabilizing the fusion of his soul, Nash exited his origin space.

Over the past week, several teams had come to the Nova Trading Zone, not only to trade but also to invite them to join their alliances.

However, aiming for the top ranks, how could Nash compromise?

Unless they wanted him as their leader, Nash wouldn’t even give it a second thought.

Returning to the Nova Trading Zone, he began investigating various teams that were compatible with them.

Although he hadn’t invited anyone yet, he already had a few teams in mind.

Coupled with the teams behind them, there were about 20-30 cosmic teams in total.

If he managed to invite everyone, it would create quite a massive alliance.

Suddenly, just when he thought it would be another typical day, a notification from Lanster caught his attention.

[Lanster: Leader, the envoys of the Minnehill Alliance have arrived!]

“Minnehill Alliance?”

Hearing the name, Nash couldn’t help but frown.

Among the various alliances, the Minnehill Alliance was one of the heavyweights.

Besides the leader, Antus Shelter, one of the top thirty in the Ashura Ranking, everyone in the alliance was in the top hundred.

Being visited by such a bigshot, Nash’s mind began to work at high speed, formulating a plan on how to respond.

[Nash: Take them to reception. I’ll receive them shortly.]

[Lanster: Roger that!]

—

Preparing himself, Nash informed everyone to retreat at a moment’s notice, then walked toward their reception office.

Entering the room, Nash immediately scanned all 12 people inside.

Seeing they were all Void Venerates, each only mastering dozens of elements, he sighed in relief.

Even if these people tried to wreak havoc after a failed negotiation, he should be able to suppress them with one hand.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Nash Navre. It’s my honor to have the famous Minnehill Alliance here at my team’s trading zone,” Nash greeted amicably.

However, contrary to his expression, the twelve envoys felt as if they were in the presence of a demon.

Although not deliberate, the fusion of Nash’s soul brought with it an invincible aura of deterrence.

Not knowing where the pressure came from, they became more cautious and respectful.

“No, it’s our honor to be in the presence of the leader of the Nova Team,” one of them replied.

After exchanging pleasantries and seeing they weren’t a threat, Nash quickly got straight to the point.

“What can I interest you with? Are you here to trade coordinates of resource points?”

“No, we hope to invite the Nova Team to join the Minnehill Alliance.”

Although the Nova Team didn’t meet the official criteria for joining the Minnehill Alliance, their ability to locate resource points was more than enough to warrant their attention.

If they could gain access to the Nova Team’s information sources, they could consolidate their position in the top hundred or even go further.

“I’m afraid the Nova Team and I can’t join. We plan to form our own alliance and didn’t intend to join any,” Nash replied.

“Aren’t you curious about the benefits we could offer? You can ask for anything you have in mind.”

“No, unless you can make me your leader, I wouldn’t be interested in any benefits,” Nash teased.

“This—”

Hearing his presumptuous words, they couldn’t help but be speechless.

A small Nova Team wanted to make them subordinates? If they didn’t know better, they would’ve thought the Nova Team was one of the great teams.

“Kidding aside, we really don’t plan to join any team,” Nash clarified.

Not sensing any hostility after his joke, he confirmed that their invitation was genuine.

“I see…”
