Thinking that Marcellin had connections, Nash immediately contacted him through the intercom.

"Nash? What is it? Do you need something?"

"Yes. Can I order another batch of materials? It’s the same as the last one I asked for."

"Sure. How much do you want?"

"I want another two portions."

"Is there anything else?"

Hearing the news that the Neon Star Alliance had earned tens of quadrillions of void source crystals from the auction, Marcellin wasn’t surprised.

"Hmm. Can I ask where we could buy a tier 8 battleship?"

Although Tier 8 battleships were exchanged in the public trading zone, it could only be done through barter.

If not, he would have to spend a massive amount of currency just to afford one.

"Do you know the Mechanical Empire?"

"Do you have a connection?" Nash asked eagerly.

The Mechanical Empire was made up of mechanical beings like Atom.

Furthermore, unlike the disunited humans, who had formed multiple galactic empires, the Mechanical Empire was the only one.

Not only were they united in mind, but their proficiency in technological production surpassed everyone else’s.

Knowing their capabilities, Nash didn’t doubt they could mass-produce tier 8 battleships.

"Indeed. In two and a half years, we will have a convention with all the other top teams in the wild void territory. If you want, I can give you an invitation," Marcellin offered.

The convention was an exclusive gathering that most didn’t even know about.

While many were still mulling over the barely survivable wild void area, the top teams had already explored the entire region.

Knowing the top-tier teams in each galactic empire, they decided to form a loose alliance.

Having learned from the failures of past generations, they decided to fight together in this unconquerable land.

Of course, over-distribution of benefits and power might cause the alliance to break as easily as it was formed. It might even be worse than the previous generation.

Still, given the nature of the loose alliance, it allowed them to exchange goods, information, and various resources.

Meanwhile, hearing Marcellin’s words, Nash wasn’t too surprised.

He had long known that the top cosmic teams were cooperating.

Having connected their private virtual server to the public one, he noticed that the region was too peaceful.

It was as if everyone was in tacit understanding, keeping to their own territory.

Besides some mid-level teams still struggling, even high-level teams had come to terms with peace.

They didn’t bother to harass low-level teams to expand their power but merely negotiated and traded.

Based on all these observations, he concluded that those top-level teams were the cause.

With such a giant like the Azure Heaven Alliance enforcing the rules, the place would naturally be peaceful.

He just didn’t know how long this peace would last.

"In two and a half years... I’d like to thank Lord Marcellin for giving me such an opportunity."

Being connected to the top-level teams of this wild void area was one step on their path.

In this way, not only would they have access to a wide range of high-value and rare resources, but also to timely intelligence!

"Haha. Just prepare some money once the time comes. This convention only happens every five years; you have to take advantage as much as possible."

"I will keep it in mind."

Soon after some final talk, Nash ended the call.

Securing the materials needed for the production lines and arranging the purchase of the battleships, Nash finally dealt with logistical matters.

"It’s time to deal with those cosmic team alliances..."

Having recruited over a thousand cosmic team alliances, he naturally had to take care of them.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t relocate them to the Sun Star Void Area at the moment.

Moving such a large group and celestial bodies through the void was not only dangerous but also too conspicuous.

Even though there was some unwritten peace treaty in effect, he didn’t dare to gamble with the nature of that peace.

With the money they earned from the Azure Public Trading Zone, he was sure some teams were eyeing them now.

Even for a top-tier team like the Azure Heaven Alliance, tens of quadrillions of void source crystals were not a small amount, much less for those high-level teams.

Not wanting to expose their territory, he could only leave them around the Azure Public Trading Zone.

Although they needed to pay for security, at least their safety was assured for the moment.

In the future, once the teleportation station in their headquarters was stabilized, they could move to the Sun Star Void Area without any problem.

This was the main reason Nash needed to buy such a large tract of land as an anchor for the teleportation station.

Although the portable teleportation provided by the Xenus Domain can be used anywhere, anytime, it consumes too much energy, is unstable, and could easily attract a tide of dark beasts.

To deal with this, they needed to build a supporting array as an anchor.

Once a stable teleportation station was built, not only could they deliver their goods to the Azure Public Trading Zone without much trouble, they could also move all their allies in an instant!

Meeting the leaders of each cosmic team alliance, Nash officially welcomed everyone, promising and appeasing them about their current situation.

"No need to worry, supreme leader. We have a good life here."

Although the void area near the Azure Public Trading Zone was expensive, it was a relatively safe haven.

Besides some scattered dark beasts, they didn’t need to worry about much.

From time to time, they could even lead a fleet of battleships farther away to earn merits from killing dark beasts.

If not for the lack of resources for training, they wouldn’t mind living in such a muddled way.

Unfortunately, feeling the increasingly tense situation, they knew they had to take sides quickly.

If possible, they even wanted to join the Azure Heaven Alliance. Unfortunately, they couldn’t even qualify as peripheral members.

After further discussion with the leaders, Nash asked them to gather all the cosmic elites, professionals, and scientists they had.

Although he couldn’t relocate everyone to the Sun Star Void Area, transferring their core members was still possible.
