"How long does it take for the third option? Will it take years?" Nash asked.

If it took too long, then he would rather buy a ready-made piece of land.

"Haha, if you want it as big as the Azure Heaven Platform, it would certainly take decades. However, if it’s only a few trillion square kilometers of land, it would only take a few months. If you need to expand in the future you also can."

"I see."

A trillion square kilometers of land was more than enough for the Neon Star Alliance to develop for a while.

If it wasn’t enough, they could expand further.

"How much would that cost?"

"Depending on your requirements, it would cost at least 100 quadrillion void source crystals."

"This-"

100 quadrillion void source crystals! Is the Azure Heaven Alliance that greedy with money?

Even with the Sun Star Void’s continuous output, it would take them tens to hundreds of years to earn.

"You can pay in installments. We can shoulder the materials and the construction first," Marcellin explained.

They knew there were only a few forces that could shoulder such a large amount in one lump sum.

Thus, to attract various forces and bind them further, they were willing to accept installments.

Anyway, in the final analysis, the land was theirs.

If the buyer didn’t pay, they could reclaim it and sell it to another.

Of course, to offer such a deal, one needed sufficient qualifications.

"That’s good!" Nash heaved a sigh of relief.

If it could be taken as an installment, then it didn’t matter.

They could use the land first to earn money and deduct the profit to pay.

It was basically an invisible additional tax they needed to pay.

After reaching an agreement, they began discussing the details.

From the blueprint, requirements, price, terms of installments, settlement rules, and various other things.

Everything was readily available in the Azure Public Trading Zone.

Nash just had to state his requirement and sign the contract.

Throughout the whole process, he didn’t even pay a single void source crystal.

Having a pleasant conversation with Marcellin, Nash’s impression of the Azure Heaven Alliance improved a little.

"Once again, welcome to the Azure Public Trading Zone. If you need something you can ask me anything."

"Haha, for sure." Nash smiled.

Leaving the Azure Heaven Palace, Nash and the others boarded their battleship.

"How is it, Nash? What happened?"

"I settled everything, from registration to our territory."

"Oh! Where is it? How much did you spend?"

Hearing that even the land was settled, they couldn’t help but look at Nash with curiosity.

"It’s only about to be built. As for the price, it’s 175 quadrillion Void Source Crystals."

"Huh? It’s still about to be built? Furthermore, 175 quadrillion Void Source Crystals?!"

"Where did you get such a large sum of money, Supreme Leader?"

"If you had such a large reserve, we should just buy resources and stay secluded a few more years!"

The reason they wanted to venture out was that they were about to run out of money.

Now, hearing Nash paying 175 quadrillion void crystals for a piece of land, they couldn’t help but feel unsettled in their hearts.

"It’s in installments. The payment term is a thousand years. Furthermore, the payments wouldn’t begin until three years later," Nash explained.

"I see, you should’ve explained earlier!" Camilla snapped.

She thought Nash was hiding money from them.

"What should we do now then? It should take a while for the land to be available," Elizabeth asked.

"Investigate the market and buy storefronts, not just in this public trading zone but all the ones connected to the Azure Heaven Alliance."

Having one main headquarters was enough. For the rest, they should spread their reach and have as many storefronts as possible.

Understanding his orders, everyone began working.

Asking one of the rank 2 leaders to replicate the Azure Heaven Tokens to facilitate their actions, Nash took Camilla and Elizabeth back to the Void Pulse.

"I’ll come back once everything is ready. Just do everything according to what we planned earlier. If you have any questions, you can also call me via the virtual world. We should be able to connect to the public virtual server pretty soon."

"Yes, Supreme Leader!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After taking care of everything, Nash and the two returned silently to the Sun Star Void Area.

A month later, after they had been back at base, Nash finally completed the sub-training module for the purity of power.

"This should work."

Having toiled intermittently for a few months, this submodule should work without a problem.

With a thought, he connected the new module to the universal runic system.

As Nash uploaded the new submodule, everyone who possessed the universal module system soon received an update.

[Universal Runic System Updating...]

[New Training Submodule Available...]

Looking at those prompts, everyone quickly opened the training module after the update.

[Training Module:

Void Training Assistance

Soul Training Assistance

Elemental Core Condensation Assistance

Elemental Sublimation Assistance

Power Control Purity Assistance (new)]

The training module was already integrated for everyone using the universal runic system.

They would rather not eat than stop the activation of the training module.

This module didn’t directly automate their training like Nash’s; instead, it gave them extra limbs and senses to train.

With the training module, they could even see the pathway the void traveled to their very veins, allowing them to tailor their training more efficiently.

Looking at the new submodule that didn’t seem to have anything to do with strength, they couldn’t help but be puzzled.

Curiously, they paid the fee and activated the Power Control Purity Assistance submodule.

Suddenly, as if the world had regained its color, they couldn’t help but look around, awed by its wonder.

From every matter and energy, they saw different hues, colors, and depths of aura!

"Is this similar to the Elemental Assistance module?"

"No, it’s different. The elemental assistance modules only showed us colors, not different depths."

Although almost the same, it gave them more detail and depth.

Furthermore, as they tried to release their energy, there was a shadow guiding them to do it more efficiently and precisely.

"What is this for?"
