CHAPTER 176: PERFECT SOUL MANUAL

Seeing Julius’s endless chatter, Nash couldn’t help but smile.

It seemed Julius was barely keeping up with the affairs of the Earth Federation.

[Nash: You can distribute it for free. There are no conditions.]

Anyway, Nash planned to divide the Earth Star Astral Art into 10 Chapters, each increasing saturation by 100%.

When the time comes, he would set up contribution points and a bunch of conditions for others to be able to exchange them.

[Julius: That’s great! I thank President Nash’s generosity on behalf of the people!]

[Julius: By the way, President, how long will it be until the supplies arrive?]

Due to Nash’s various policies, the supplies on Earth were rapidly depleting.

Feeding the people alone was a massive undertaking that nearly drove him to despair, let alone managing other resources.

From food and construction materials to daily supplies, electronics, clothes, and even water, everything was running low.

With overly generous policies and a massive revolution, Earth needed a swift infusion of resources.

[Nash: Don’t worry. The first batch of supplies will arrive in a week at the latest.]

Having paid the Star Tower to expedite the crucial supplies, Nash had been notified that their cargo was already en route to Earth.

[Julius: That’s good! It seems President Nash has thought of everything.]

Julius heaved a sigh of relief, reading that the first batch of supplies would arrive in a week.

It shouldn’t be too hard to hold on for such a short time.

[Nash: Alright, no need to flatter. Just do your work. If you have problems, solve them yourself first. I’ll chat when I have time.]

[Julius: This... Alright...]

Closing the chat panel, Nash couldn’t help but chuckle.

He couldn’t imagine the headache of managing such a messy, disorderly place.

However, with Julius’s brilliant mind, he should manage just fine.

Turning back to the library, Nash began materializing various soul manuals, nearly burying himself in them.

"It’s time to deduce the perfect soul manual!"

The current Nine Glazed Soul Tempering Manual was too slow to keep up with his progress.

Unlike astral arts, which focus on stacking void saturation to a certain percentage, soul saturation involves gathering droplets of essence to form a sea, limited only by the soul’s quality.

With his soul’s seemingly limitless potential, Nash felt he could reach 100,000 or even a million percent soul saturation.

Thus, for him, the limiting factor wasn’t the quality of his soul but the speed.

The Nine Glazed Soul Tempering Manual allowed him to absorb an elemental crystal every three seconds.

Needing 10,000 elemental crystals to advance each 1%, it would take 8.5 years to reach 10,000% soul saturation.

By the time he reached 10,000% soul saturation, the cosmic competition would have long been over.

To remedy this, he needed a stronger, faster soul manual.

Instead of mobilizing just 5,880 blue runic programs, he aimed to deduce a manual that engaged all 10,818 runic programs of his soul!

As his body scanned each book, Nash began reading and comprehending them in the Runic Space.

This time, because he needed to understand them thoroughly, his comprehension speed couldn’t keep up with the [Memory Module System]’s upload speed.

---

As hours and days passed, Nash paused.

After poring over thousands of books, his mind felt numb.

"Huh, I really need to create a comprehension enhancement module system," Nash muttered tiredly.

A powerful soul improved clarity, comprehension, resistance, and willpower. The higher one’s soul saturation, the higher this amplification was.

Usually, without a specific mobilization technique, an individual couldn’t maximize this enhancement.

However, for himself, it seemed the Runic Space had already maximized the amplification from his soul saturation, even going far beyond.

Even as he tried another soul technique that maximized this enhancement, it didn’t have much effect in the runic space.

Whether it was clarity, comprehension, resistance, or willpower, the Runic Space used every ounce of his soul saturation to its limit.

To increase his comprehension speed, he needed to think differently.

Instead of blindly boosting speed with quality, he needed to focus on quantity.

If one car couldn’t carry enough books, then use two, three, or even ten cars.

As for how one person could drive ten cars simultaneously, Nash could only think of creating a runic system.

Such an advanced skill wasn’t available in the Nova Library.

The study of souls had always been mysterious.

Besides genetic abilities and basic mobilization techniques, few knew how to truly control their soul.

Perhaps such knowledge existed in tier 6 books or above, but with his current access, he could only create a module system as an alternative.

Deciding on his next path, Nash stood, planning to rest for the moment.

He had been reading and comprehending books for five days without sleep, that such intense work had clouded his mind.

Logging off the Virtual World, Nash sank into a deep sleep on his bed.

---

The next day.

After waking up, Nash felt refreshed.

"It’s good to sleep from time to time."

Though he could go weeks or even a month without rest, sleep still left him revitalized.

After a quick stretch, Nash planned to return to the Nova Library to browse soul techniques as a reference for the new module system.

But before he could, he noticed a message from Camilla and the Nova Government officials.

"The remaining spots in the seeded talent program are filled?"

Reading that the seeded talent assembly was scheduled for the afternoon, Nash sighed in relief.

Fortunately, he woke up in time; if he woke up any later, he might miss the meeting time, which would disrespect those generous sponsors.

With ample time to prepare, Nash proceeded with his plan and returned to the Nova Library.

Browsing various soul techniques, he focused on the soul manipulation and mobilization book.

From tier 1 to tier 3, Nash eagerly uploaded and read everything he could in the next hour.

[The assembly will start in 15 minutes...]

Seeing the alarm he’d set pop up, Nash stood and began to prepare.

Recalling the virtual coordinates of the meeting place, he teleported to the assembly.
