CHAPTER 337: ENLIGHTENED SOUL STATE

After optimizing the [Overlimit Module System], Nash couldn’t wait to test his previous theory.

Previously, because his soul was too weak, he hadn’t been able to summon the Soul Celestial Beast.

Even with the [Overlimit Module System], it wasn’t effective because it wasn’t flexible.

Now that he had optimized it to the greatest extent using the runic commands, it should work.

"Let’s try..."

However, eager as he was, Nash didn’t forget to slip out of the base and travel farther away.

Having experienced the damage of such anomalies, Nash didn’t want to risk trying it at the base.

Just the Void Celestial Beast alone could cause destruction, what more the Soul Celestial Beast?

---

Soon, after traveling for hours to a place tens of thousands of kilometers away, Nash started to activate the [Overlimit Module System].

From 10 times, 30 times, 50 times...

Trying to see if it was enough to summon the Soul Celestial Beast, he failed.

"Not enough..."

Increasing the intensity of the amplification, the [Overlimit Module System] began making significant changes to his body.

Imitating the structure of biological beings with a strong affinity for void energy, his organs, blood, skin, bones, and even his soul began to restructure.

Although temporary, he could feel the stark contrast between his body now and how it had been before; it was as if he were becoming a different creature.

"Unfortunately, I don’t have enough data on a live specimen. Otherwise, it would be more perfect..." Nash sighed in frustration.

Knowing the power of the runic commands to modify and imitate, Nash had bought various specimens from special creatures.

Based on the runic commands on their bodies, he attempted to replicate them, allowing his body to copy and assimilate.

Of course, not wanting the change to be permanent, the runic command structure would only activate with the [Overlimit Module System].

After all, those special creatures did have better attributes in certain aspects, but Nash still wanted to retain his own origin.

Furthermore, as his strength grew and his worldview expanded, there would be more creatures to choose from.

Not wanting to limit his future, he can only take this alternative path.

Soon, as his strength reached 70 times... 80 times... until 90 times... Nash still failed.

Knowing he couldn’t summon the Soul Celestial Beast until he pushed himself to his limit, Nash turned the [Overlimit Module System] up another notch.

Suddenly, reaching a 100x amplification, his strength surged to what seemed like invincibility.

Having only a moment of power, Nash summoned the Soul Celestial Beast without a second thought and merged it with his body.

"What—"

In one second, the [Overlimit Module System] pushed his power 100 times, as he summoned the Soul Celestial Beast and merged it with his body. Nash was dazzled by what he saw and collapsed on the ground.

"This power..."

Although Nash couldn’t even stand due to the backlash from the [Overlimit Module System], the vision he had still left him trembling in shock.

In that moment, it felt as if every terrain in the dark plane was imprinted in his mind. All the questions he had before seemed to be answered, and all elements and laws appeared before him like an open book.

Of course, it was just an illusion from the surge of power.

With 11.1 billion soul power amplified 1,000 times by the runic space, another 100 times by the [Overlimit Module System], and an undetermined amount by the Soul Celestial Beast, his computational power could have reached hundreds of quadrillions or even quintillions!

No wonder he was flabbergasted by the seemingly infinite stream of information suddenly flooding his mind.

This was just the effect of the ethereal soul. Once he materialized and used its power, Nash didn’t know if he could punch a hole in the dark plane and reach the real world.

Unfortunately, he had less than a second from summoning and merging the Soul Celestial Beast with himself.

Not having enough time to experiment, Nash could only leave it at that.

Turning his attention to the [Memory Module System], Nash began reviewing the stream of information he had just received.

"No way it’s corrupted?!"

Looking at it beside some readable memory, most of it was corrupted.

It seemed that the instant his computational power surged to an unidentifiable amount, the [Memory Module System] also crashed.

"What a pity!"

If he could retrieve that information, Nash estimated his progress would accelerate at lightning speed.

Reviewing the uncorrupted memories, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"No way, it seems my luck has exploded!"

The memory contained all the coordinates of the resource points within a 1-million-kilometer radius.

From Tier 4 low-level lode resource points to Tier 5 high-level lode resource points.

Nash even found a secret realm containing a Tier 6 resource point!

"Amazing! This is too lucky!"

With a map of all the resources within a million-kilometer radius, they wouldn’t have to worry about any shortage, at least for the time being and maybe even for the entire competition.

Furthermore, along with the information, it also marked the positions of all the cosmic teams and unique dark beasts within the radius!

In addition to resources, they wouldn’t have to worry about encountering any unknown dangers.

Seeing the benefits that a second had given him, Nash thought of summoning the Soul Celestial Beast again!

Unfortunately, looking at his body, still battered from the [Overlimit Module System], he could only think of it.

The complications in his body weren’t injuries that could be healed by rejuvenation or healing potions.

They were deconstructed runic commands, slowly returning to their original form.

Without a few weeks to a month of rest, he could never attempt to use the [Overlimit Module System] again.

Otherwise, the consequences would be beyond his ability.

Taking a look at the other intact memories, Nash made another discovery.

"Hmm, the outline of the Soul Transformation manual and Fire Elemental Manual? This is no longer just luck."

It appeared that in his enlightened soul state, as he called it, he could still think clearly, saving all the important memories, knowing everything would soon be corrupted.

Otherwise, luck wouldn’t explain why all the intact memories were exactly what he urgently needed.

Although subconscious, it seemed he could still act in an enlightened soul state.
