I Can Program My Body?

While deducing the feasibility of the matter over and over again, Nash asked about Julius’s preparations.

"How much money do we have in stock? Is it enough? If not, you could use Chaos Stones to borrow from other teams."

Although Void Source Crystals couldn’t be exchanged for Chaos Stones, the reverse was possible. Based on the exchange ratio, they could obtain 10-12 trillion Void Source Crystals for 1 Chaos Stone.

"No need, we have plenty in reserve. Excluding the money needed to maintain our operations, we can mobilize 1.5-3 sextillion." Julius said confidently. Even if all the foreign cosmic team alliances in the Neon Star Domain sold their people, they would still have plenty remaining.

"Oh? It seems the purification device business is still booming."

"How could it be bad? Although there is more competition, the supply can’t simply meet the demand. The more dark gates those major and top-level teams open, the more they need the purification devices."

Each dark gate was basically a suction device, absorbing all dark energy in the wild void area. Furthermore, the dark energy it absorbed didn’t simply come from the adjacent area but from all around the void. Instead of alleviating the problem, it resulted in an even denser dark miasma.

After talking about the budget, they began to discuss the population settlement, supplies, management, transportation, and all the miscellaneous details. Having planned the expansion for years, Julius and the others were well prepared.

With the advancement of Atom and the universal runic system, 99.99% of the management would be automated. What they needed to do was only deal with emergencies and unexpected incidents that might happen.

Soon, having finished discussing every detail, Nash took everything in and underwent a soul enlightenment. Until this moment, he still couldn’t trace where such a miraculous ability had come from. However, he had a feeling that once he completed his primordial fusion, he could get a glimpse of the truth.

Sifting through all the information, various factors they hadn’t accounted for before appeared in his mind. From security, tyranny, different ethnicities and cultures, living environments, etc. Although these details wouldn’t affect the plan significantly, it might be these little things that caused a collapse later on.

Relaying the shortcomings he found, he had Julius and the other leaders think of a solution. They had six months to prepare, and while settling over the Neon Star Alliance Territory, Nash could use soul enlightenment to look for more vulnerabilities.

Having exhausted his chance at soul enlightenment for the day, Nash returned to his residence with Camilla and Elizabeth.

Throughout the year they spent clearing the Forbidden Zone, he had barely any rest, dealing with all kinds of matters. From all kinds of complications, dangers, construction of the dark gate, coordination of foreign teams, the universal runic system, etc.

Back at the Eternal Castle Residence, lying on the smooth grass, he gazed at the sky, lost in thought.

"Let’s rest for a moment..."

A week later, Nash, Camilla, and Elizabeth did nothing but eat, sleep, and play throughout the dimensional space.

"What should we do next?" Camilla said lazily. Having had enough time to rest, they felt itchy, wanting to do something.

"Let’s go back to the Altier Arcane Tower. I feel like I’m getting rusty." Nash suggested. Throughout the clearance operation, he was cooped up in the Void Pulse giving commands.

Initially, he planned to take the time to upgrade the Severance Knife to Level 6; unfortunately, he hadn’t even killed a single dark beast himself.

"Let’s go. We also want to rush to the 1,000th floor!"

"Just remember to hide your name." Nash reminded.

His name had already become known by everyone. Unable to hide that he used the Altier Arcane Cannon, everyone naturally found out he was the newly emerging prodigy who completed the 1,000th trial.

"Don’t worry, we’ll be your trump card."

"Just don’t cause me trouble."

One elite powerhouse was already enough to attract attention; if another two appeared, the Neon Star Alliance would be on the radar of those top-level teams. Maybe even the sales of the purification devices would be terminated just to suppress their development.

Arriving at the Altier Arcane Tower, the three split up, with Nash taking the 1,001st trial, while Camilla and Elizabeth continued on the 355th floor.

"I wonder what form of trial the next floor will be..."

[1,001st Trial: Sun-Dusk Trial]

[Goal: Defeat the Progenitor of the Sun-Dusk Path]

"Progenitor of the Sun-Dusk Path? Could this Altier Arcane Tower even simulate such an ancient being?"

A progenitor was the first individual to walk that path forward. Although the Sun-Dusk Path was only a major path, it was still worthy of the universe’s commendation.

(Minor, Major, Supreme, Supreme Primordial)

"You will only be fighting the wisp of the progenitor." The tower spirit, Tessa, suddenly said.

"A wisp? How strong is it, then?"

"You’ll need to find that out on your own. Oh, and you can only use the Sun-Dusk Law in here. Your physique and mastery of other laws will be invalidated."

"This..."

As the trial began to manifest, his physique, the primordial fusion condensed from his path, his spirit, and his other abilities all seemed to seal shut.

Although he felt that he could break it, Tessa voiced another reminder.

"Any form of cheating would lead to disqualification."

"Fine, fine. I’ll back out, let me out of here." Nash immediately surrendered. What a joke. He hadn’t even virtualized the Sun-Dusk Law. What would he use to fight? His fist, which couldn’t even bind a chicken?

"Unfortunately, there is no exit button. Either side must be eliminated before proceeding..." Tessa said emotionlessly, yet Nash thought it was snickering in secret.

"You!"

Before Nash could finish his words, the world suddenly changed. From the burning heat of the sun to the decaying power of dusk, he didn’t even last a second before being eliminated.

[1,001st Trial Failed!]

[Time: 0.1 seconds]

[Remark: A record-time failure unsurpassed by past and future generations!]

Respawning in his room, Nash read the remark with a dark expression.

"What do you mean, failure unsurpassed by the past and future generations? You really know how to play, Tessa."

"But it is the truth."

Usually, those who climbed to the 1,000th floor had at least virtualized most of the laws, only needing accumulation. Even if they couldn’t clear the 1,001st trial, they could last a few minutes and learn something from the floor guardian.

Nash, however, was an anomaly. Not only had he flown up the tower with flying colors, he had even shortened the time multiple times.

"Tsk. What is the record for completion? Let me set that record too!"

"The record was set by a prodigy from the previous generation’s cosmic competition. The time was 16 seconds."

"16 seconds... I’ll defeat that guardian in less than 10."
