The High Priest of the Elder Overseers moved on to his next target after having conquered the highly capable Solaryans, Vorxans, and Wei'virs (whom had unknowingly begun puppeteering his actions) as he now only had one target remaining, one which could stop the Celestial Army's formation if they were not met with the full force of the 3 extant members of the Army, with this species being the Nebularians. As the High Priest arrived on the edges of the Nebularian Hegemony, he opened protected portals onto the surface of Nebiula Itself, allowing the armies of Solaryans, Vorxans and Wei'virs pour out and decimate the impure Nebularians. The highly evolved beings of the Council of Genetic Purity were forced to intervene, utilising their great power to halt the advance and collect genetic samples, using their vast telepathic powers to seize control of the Celestial Armies in order to capture the High Priest himself. They could not control him like they had for his armies, but they did manage to subdue him and bring him to Nebiula.
The Council decided to dissect the High Priest after imprisoning him, seeing his genome as the answer for evolution beyond what even they could imagine. The High Priest tried to resist this by offering his Celestial Army's aid to expand Nebularia across the stars and to willingly grant them his genome so they may evolve as long as they joined his army. Despite his expectations, the Nebularians rejected, as they already controlled his army, and they could just take his genome themselves. The High Priest was fully subdued.
The Wei'virs, part of the Celestial Army had not been brainwashed though, and were merely playing along to see what would happen. But now was the time to act, as the end of the High Priest would also inevitably lead to the end of their plans. The Wei'virs activated their reality-warping capabilities to break the army free from control and direct the Celestial Army to free the High Priest which were joined by a group of astray Zerg-Protoss Hybrids. Their combined forces managed to destroy the Nebularians, wiping them out until the High Priest managed to break free himself. Under his reinstated command he seized all of the Nebularians' prototype evolved forms using his genome, deciding that they would be perfect for his army. His first instinct was to eradicate the other Nebularians due to him being captured by them, but suddenly the puppet in his brain placed by the Wei'virs spoke to him, convincing him that the Nebularians could still be useful. He agreed, and held another speech offering the same chance to the Nebularians he had offered them before. But this time they fully listened, as unbeknownst to the High Priest, the Wei'virs had seized full control of the Nebularians as well.
And thus, he had done it. As the Nebularians joined the celestial army, the High Priest had completed his first goal towards universal domination. Now it was time to work towards the next step, one which he had already planned all the way back in the Sorroda Contract. At this point however, his great celestial army was barely his own anymore, he had become a mere puppet of the Wei'virs, though regardless of everything he would have to bide his time awaiting for the Taros Cluster to mature into the perfect vessel for his plan. Until then, the High Priest delivered on his promises to his subjects, granting resources to the Solaryans, worlds to infest for the Vorxans, conquest preparations to the Wei'virs, genetic engineering for the Nebularians, and subjugating worlds to be used by the other species for the Hybrids. The rapid expansion of the High Priest's Fiefdom across a significant portion of Unknown Space concerned the Intergalactic Defense Initiative, though there was little they could do aside from declare the Elder Overseers, Twelve Suns, Abyssal Enclave, Vaspid Empire, the Shadow Empire, and the Trofth Empire as 'unfriendly states'.
