Chapter 739: The Dawn of a New Chaos

After instructing Julius, Nash walked back to his residence and met up with Tsuka.

"Master~"

Trotting toward him, Tsuka greeted him eagerly.

"How are you? Did you finish the food I gave you before?"

"It’s long gone, master~. Do you have more?"

"Here." Smiling, Nash took out the Light Crystal Ore he bought at the auction.

Jumping happily, Tsuka stored the Light Crystal Ore while eating some of it.

"Good, I hope to see you advance soon." Nash patted its head.

Once Tsuka advanced to a level 8 mysterious beast, not only would its strength become stronger, the Neon Star Alliance would also unlock a layer of authority: the Clearance Order.

With the Clearance Order, they could clear out an unexplored domain area. During this clearance, the rewards they could earn were not much different from those of the dark gates, no, in fact, they were even more.

The faster they cleared the area of dark beasts and dark energy, the more Merit Source they could earn. This is also why those Major-Level Teams were so eager to start another expedition. Not only could they unearth precious treasures and resources, they could even earn more Merit Source than their current number of dark gates provided.

"Don’t worry, master, I feel I’ll advance soon."

"Just take your time. Build your foundation to perfection before taking a step forward."

Although they weren’t qualified to earn Merit Source without the Clearance Order, it was better than risking Tsuka’s future potential.

As for using another shelter to obtain this authority, it was useless. Now that the entire Neon Star Alliance was bound as one, with Tsuka leading the pack, all the other shelters could only serve as an extension, not the source.

After playing with Tsuka for a while, Nash entered the Eternal Castle Residence Dimension.

Immediately, as he set foot inside, he felt something different. It wasn’t just the energy and laws becoming more abundant, but he felt a close connection resonating with his soul.

Closing his eyes, the fatigue he had accumulated over the years was quietly being swept away.

"What is this power?"

Opening his runic eyes, he saw a power similar to will. Like waves of power, it began to influence everything little by little.

"I see, so that’s what it is."

Those plants and animals he had bought at the auction were the original creatures of this wild void area. Influenced by the power of will, they also carried the same resonance, which slowly pervaded the surrounding land.

"What a steal."

Although it didn’t have much effect now, just the comfort it provided was already worth it. In the future, once they gathered more varieties of plants, animals, and even minerals, perhaps this Eternal Castle Residence would truly become a paradise.

"Nash~ How is our home? Do you feel anything different?" Elizabeth asked excitedly, seeing him arrive.

"Hmm, we should’ve spent more and bought the other plants at the auction," Nash said, knowing what was on her mind.

"I told you so. Next time, we must buy everything that we don’t have here. Better yet, let’s gather them ourselves!"

At this moment, Elizabeth’s previous reluctance about the unexplored domain areas was gone. If anything, she now wanted to go more than Camilla.

"No, you’re not going."

"Why not? Camilla can go." Elizabeth pouted. With her luck, she would surely find everything she wanted.

"Not yet. Let’s wait until we’re stronger."

Although Nash was confident in saving himself, the same couldn’t be said for these two.

Who knew what trap or danger was present in that unexplored domain area. The dark beasts were never the problem, but those volatile environments with all their hidden hazards were.

"Then you should also stay. That’s only fair."

"I will. After dealing with some matters and seeing the situation there, I’ll leave." Nash smiled.

Although confident, Nash didn’t want to waste too much time on the expedition. It was more important to increase his own strength. With the Chaos Origin Pool and the power of will helping him with the virtualization of law, what more could he ask for?

The trip to the unexplored domain area wasn’t even as important as opening dark gates and continuing with the population expansion.

"That’s good~. Then we’ll stay here." Having come to terms with the situation, Elizabeth dragged Nash to the horse stables as they raced with Camilla.

With days passing peacefully, Nash didn’t forget his agreement with the members of the Eternal Star Alliance. However, because the Altier Arcane Cannon was being used by others, he could only stand back and wait.

Watching flashes of light every other hour, like lightning in a storm, was kind of scary. As if at any moment that lightning would strike close to home.

"The dawn of the next Chapter... I hope the cosmic competition can still maintain its peace even just during these 100 years of treaty..."

---

With the frequency of the Arcane Cannon being fired around, the Major-Level Teams didn’t need to investigate to know that the alliance of the top-level teams was set in stone.

"This is just around my expectations. How can the cosmic competition be interesting with just a few big fish?" Ferguson, the leader of the Ancient Race, smiled.

Fighting with just a few wasn’t as interesting as all-out chaos. If not for the treaty and Primos’s persuasion, he would have long since gone on a rampage.

"Hmph! Just you wait."

Not bothering to pay attention, Ferguson went back to training, continuing to fuse laws to condense the strongest supreme primordial law of chaos.

Aetherion also had the same reaction. As if looking at ants building a larger nest, besides disgust, he didn’t take it seriously.

In this cosmic competition, the Elemental Race would reign supreme.

Meanwhile, Jiro and Samara, the leaders of the Void Mercenary Alliance and the Universe Business Commerce Alliance, began to calculate everything they could take advantage of.

The rise of the top teams was not a bad thing; while they would be a tougher nut to crack, there would also be more bountiful rewards.

However, while leaning toward the profit, they were also wary of the Grand Race Sovereign Alliance. This was a coalition of over 3,000 top-level cosmic teams and hundreds of thousands of high-level teams.

Although it was a group of loose sand, it was enough to drown them. If they could turn into one unified force, fighting off all the Major-Level Teams wouldn’t be a problem.

"We just need to be careful. Tread carefully, it should collapse on its own..."

As for Stragos and the Chronos Saint, they couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to what was happening outside.

Each had their own goals and priorities; as long as no one broke the rules or touched their interests, they would just let it be. As for the future, it would depend on how much they could accumulate in the meantime.

Meanwhile, Primos had a different reaction. Instead of mockery or indifference, he saw it as a giant leap in progress.

"These little alliances have finally toughened up."

With more variables in the field, the Mechanical Race could better find a team they could pledge their eternal loyalty to.

The addition of these scattered top team alliances was like a spice that completed the entire dish. Now they just needed to wait until it was fully cooked before it could be served on the plate.

"Let’s see if I can give these little ones a little push..."
