Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 854 - 415: Infinite Fusion Remains Powerful! (Two-in-One)

Once Chalatu wrapped up his words, the plump, squat being with a drill-shaped head smirked using the mouth on its brow and declared, "Before we provide you with the initial capital, joining the guild is required. Do you desire to become part of our Legendary Guild?"

Although Chen Mo was sharing an enjoyable discussion with them right there, and they had already agreed among themselves to accept him as a guild member, he remained uninitiated officially, giving him the liberty to select.

"Naturally, I wish to join; after all, in this strange environment, it feels safer to stick with a guild that includes familiar faces," Chen Mo replied, grinning.

"Excellent. Follow me."

Chen Mo had encountered all the individuals present. The one sporting the drill head went by Tumi, hailing from a species renowned for its highly advanced intellect, particularly in terms of calculation prowess.

This explained why the president assigned him to oversee finances.

Guided by Tumi, Chen Mo entered a vast chamber.

In the middle of the space loomed a stone slab, etched thickly with numerous names. A few glowed brightly, but the bulk appeared shadowy.

"This slab is known as the Contract Origin Stone. By voluntarily inscribing your name onto the contract drafted by the guild, you embed it into the Contract Origin Stone.

Upon inscribing the contract via the Contract Origin Stone, you formally become a member of our Legendary Guild."

Tumi grinned again with the mouth across his forehead while explaining to Chen Mo.

To Chen Mo, that mouth resembled a curved moon draped over Tumi’s brow.

"Senior Tumi, could you explain why certain names on the slab shine while most have faded to black?"

"The blackened ones belong to guild members who have passed away. Should you perish, your name darkens too. This method lets us track the fate of our members."

"Earlier, didn’t you mention that we’d directly detect any fights involving guild members? So why depend on the name’s status?"

"You’ve got it wrong. The prior reference to battles concerned disputes among guild members themselves. Internal clashes between two members activate the contract’s constraints on this Contract Origin Stone, notifying everyone. Yet, when battling outsiders and meeting your end, we usually require unique techniques to probe what occurred.

It’s not possible to perceive it instantly, particularly in unreachable zones, which complicates evaluating your well-being even further.

That’s why we use the illumination of names on this stone slab to gauge your condition."

All of a sudden, while they conversed, a name on the Contract Stone shifted from faint to fully snuffed out.

"Looks like Karst didn’t succeed in his breakthrough," Tumi murmured with a sigh, spotting the name Karst turning black.

"Does a failed breakthrough always result in death? Is the risk truly that grave?"

"Not necessarily. As Chalatu explained earlier, upgrades boost your stats according to your base values, and a breakthrough offers an opportunity to alter those base stats.

Opting for a challenging breakthrough task can yield greater stat gains from future upgrades if successful, yet it heightens the peril substantially, with the challenge level dictating the threat, which might culminate in fatality."

"I understand," Chen Mo acknowledged, nodding in realization.

Even reaching the Lord of the Cosmos tier involves significant hazards when pushing personal boundaries through breakthroughs.

Nevertheless, the key benefit of attaining Lord of the Cosmos status lies in the fact that, without even stepping out, your experience accumulates steadily. This stems from your universe expanding nonstop inside the Tower of Eternity, supplying endless experience points while replenishing your Origin Life Force and Cosmic Origin Energy.

At Chen Mo’s present Origin Universe stage, he gains 10 units of Origin Life Force every second, alongside a regeneration of 100 units of Cosmic Origin Energy per second.

This achievement comes from Chen Mo integrating the Bug Clan’s Queen along with his pair of innate chaos-grade companions into the blend.

With Tumi’s assistance, Chen Mo flawlessly inscribed the contract onto the Legendary Guild’s Contract Origin Stone, etching his name there.

The Legendary Guild’s contract guidelines remain remarkably simple.

They mainly forbid infighting among members, with the rest of the rules being rather lenient.

As a result, Chen Mo saw no cause for delay and promptly executed the contract.

This decision was influenced heavily by Sun Wu’s demeanor, given his casual stance toward entering the Legendary Guild, suggesting it was a solid option.

If not, considering Sun Wu’s enthusiasm for joint explorations in the Sea of Cosmos, he would have preferred Chen Mo align with a superior, more robust guild.

Such an alliance would ensure their joint escapades proved far more secure.

Following the completion of Chen Mo’s guild pact, Tumi promptly presented him with a Source Communication Stone and a pouch filled with Cosmic Source Crystals.

"This Source Communication Stone comes loaded with details on every guild member. It allows you to connect remotely with any of us whenever you like.

This pouch holds 1000 Cosmic Source Crystals as an upfront payment; you’ll settle it once income starts flowing," Tumi stated, smiling.

"Suppose I pocket the funds and just idle away here? Then how would I ever pay it back?" Chen Mo chuckled.

"No problem at all. Guilds tend to be understanding and offer yearly allowances to members according to their tier. A one-star rank gets 100 Cosmic Source Crystals annually. So even if you laze about, you’d cover it within a decade," Tumi responded with an easy laugh.
