I Can Program My Body?

The unexplored domain area didn’t just contain simple dark energy, but dark origin essence. Whether in penetrating power or corrosive properties, it surpassed even the power of law.

Dark origin essence was also the substance they needed to purify after gaining the clearance authority.

For now, they could only venture and explore, looking for treasures nurtured in this extreme land.

"Follow me. Don’t get too far and lose sight of the Void Pulse. If you’re unsure, keep the communication module connected." Nash ordered, as he followed his instinct to look for resources.

"Understood, Supreme Leader Nash!"

In this harsh environment, technology was severely suppressed. Just a few thousand kilometers from the stronghold, the virtual net had already collapsed, making normal communication impossible. Thus, instead of relying on autonomous navigation, they had to pilot the ship manually and keep their eyes on the road.

Fortunately, the universal runic system didn’t have such a problem. As long as they believed in him and produced a strand of will, it was as if the two were connected by a cable and wouldn’t be disrupted.

Following the Void Pulse in an orderly manner, a few days quickly passed by.

Just when they thought Nash had gotten lost and was wandering aimlessly, their vision cleared up, revealing a massive cluster of resources before them.

Perhaps because of its vastness, they couldn’t even see from one end to the other of this resource cluster zone.

"Clear out the surrounding area. We’ll distribute them after coming back to the stronghold." Nash smiled in excitement. It seemed that Elizabeth’s luck blessing was more powerful than ever.

Although he hadn’t calculated the total value of the resources here, it must be worth at least 10 million Chaos Stones!

Receiving the order from Nash, everyone began clearing the dark beasts around. Used to such work, coupled with their experience from Nash’s previous conditioning, they didn’t find it hard.

No matter how strong the dark beasts were or how harsh the environment, why would they care if they were inside a battleship?

Instead of fear, their eyes were filled with excitement, clearing the dark beasts at faster and faster speeds as if they were in a race.

Their harvest depended on this. If they couldn’t clear it within a month, by the time they went back, it would return to its previous state.

Meanwhile, as the rest cleared the dark beasts layer by layer, Nash began storing all the clusters of resources in his spatial artifact.

The space within the spatial artifact was quite solid; even with the corrosive influence of dark origin essence, it remained stable.

Clearing planetary and star-sized resources, Nash couldn’t help but grin with joy. From different higher-tier mineral, elemental, and law stars, rare meteorites, biological remains, special plants and animals, even Chaos Stone mines were present.

After moving everything into the spatial artifact, weeks passed quickly without incident.

"It’s time to go back. Quickly pack up. Let’s go!"

The A-class battleships the majority of them possessed were about to pass their endurance tolerance. If they didn’t return to maintain them, they would be scrapped, wasting their investment.

Heeding his orders, everyone didn’t even collect the remaining resources and quickly followed the Void Pulse back to the Chronos Alliance Stronghold. Without a navigation signal from the virtual net, it would be impossible to find their way on their own.

They were not top-level teams that had a treasure that could help them navigate. They only had the void pulse as their guiding light in this darkness. If they didn’t want to get lost, they’d better make sure to follow it.

As for the members of the Neon Star Alliance, following the marks left by the Map Module, they didn’t have any worries.

A few days later, they returned to the Chronos Alliance Stronghold.

As they passed through the barrier, they felt the weight on their backs disappear. The dark origin essence that had been weighing on their bodies and souls seemed to have been blocked the moment they entered.

"Huh~ So comfortable."

"You should absorb some Soul Crystal, and you’ll feel more relaxed."

Following those words, they absorbed some of their reserve Soul Crystal. Sure enough, the moment it touched their souls, a cool feeling rushed through their veins, eliminating the remaining lingering dark origin essence in their bodies.

"Alright, you can disperse and rest. We will begin our next expedition a month later. I’ll let the Chronos Alliance tabulate all the resources we found; I’ll notify you of your distribution soon after." Nash announced.

Resting and maintaining their battleships for a week should be more than enough.

As for the resources they found, Nash didn’t need to smuggle and hide a thing.

These resources had a lingering trace of dark origin essence, no matter how they hid it, it could be easily detected.

Heading toward the Chronos Alliance processing station, Nash took out all the resources they harvested to be tabulated.

"The total is worth 12.7 million Chaos Stones. Do you want them to be purified?" The official offered ’kindly’. Since purification could earn them another layer of Merit Source, the Chronos Alliance offered such a service for free.

"No, thank you."

"I see. Then please open the seal once you are in the designated area of purification. Otherwise, it would be taxed again."

"I know."

Although each item was already marked and calculated, it still had a lingering aura of dark origin essence. If he opened the seal elsewhere, it would have to be taxed again to ensure they didn’t hide anything.

As for the designated area, it was the area where all level 8 shelters were kept under surveillance.

That’s right, even with the clearance order authority, one couldn’t simply go out into the domain area and do the deed. They had to coordinate with the Chronos Alliance and clear it in an area they designated and be taxed again.

No wonder those top-level teams were so angry that they formed a super alliance, disregarding their shame and pride.

Walking to the designated purification area for the Eternal Star Alliance, Nash met the rest of the leaders, who seemed to be waiting for him.

"Lord Nash, you’re finally here."

"This unexplored domain area was truly a goldmine, most of us harvested resources worth millions, with the lowest being in the hundreds of thousands worth of Chaos Stone. Once we become familiar with it, we might earn over 10 million in a single month!"

"Haha, how is your harvest, Lord Nash? You must’ve gotten a large haul, right?"

"Hmm, we harvested a total worth of 12.7 million Chaos Stone."

"12.7 million Chaos Stone?!"
