I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 597: Threads of Will

"Original fragments from outside the universe plane? What power could this will have?" Nash asked Julius for clarification.

"In short, gathering the will of people could grant one a perpetual power similar to the Void Administrator buff!"

"Hmm? Void Administrator Buff? You mean if I gather enough will, I could accelerate my training thousands to millions of times without any downsides?"

"That’s roughly how it is." Julius nodded, full of excitement.

Upon hearing such news, Torr and Tathia immediately decided to let Nash serve as the anchor of this will.

Although they didn’t want to admit it, they were somewhat inferior compared to him.

Whether it’s in power, influence, or wealth, they were inferior.

However, instead of becoming envious, knowing the precarious situation they were in, they were more relieved.

The stronger Nash was, the higher their chance of survival.

If they were lucky enough to win a few sectors of territory, they would be immensely gratified.

After all, this was no longer the wild void area they had in mind, but a full wild galactic empire territory.

Snatching a piece from all those universe-level talents would already be winning.

Thus, instead of fighting internally, they eagerly wanted to push Nash to the top.

This was not only to curry favor, but also as a deterrent to the other Xenus Alliance members they would gather later on.

Soon, after digesting Julius’s words, Nash also realized why they were in such a rush.

If he could really gather and control the power of will, he would be like a tiger with wings.

By unifying the currency, the runic system couldn’t just be a convenient tool but the lifeblood of everyone.

This would accelerate the formation of will and strengthen their connection with him.

"Wait, you said this is one of the fragments. What about the others?"

"As far as we know, there are only three fragments. One was occupied by the Void Administrator, and the other by the Virtual Administrator. As for whether there are other fragments, I don’t know."

"This means this is the last unoccupied fragment with such power? Why haven’t other cosmic territories conquered this place then?"

"They failed. According to what we gathered, across billions of years, this place had been used as a trial ground thousands of times. Yet not one had succeeded." Julius sighed, thinking their situation was more precarious than ever.

Originally, fighting for a whole galactic territory was bad enough. Now they had to fight for such a sacred place.

While the benefits were beyond imagination, the danger was almost absolute.

Billions of years and thousands of batches of universe talent, yet not one succeeded.

Julius didn’t think they would have enough strength to break this impossible curse.

"I see..." Nash smiled.

Although it was becoming more dangerous, he didn’t think much of it.

Fighting against all the universe’s talent was already somewhat impossible; the added difficulty was not too hard to accept.

At most, they would fail and escape.

With his status as an SSS-level scientist, he could still have a bright future ahead.

Thinking of this, Nash quickly relaxed and took a look at his origin space.

"Hmm? Nothing?"

Scouring every corner of his origin space, Nash didn’t find anything different.

"Could it be the concentration of will was not enough?"

Not believing there was any change, Nash turned toward his runic space.

Looking at the space, Nash initially didn’t find anything.

However, as he turned toward the threads connecting the runic system to each individual, he noticed they had become thicker and more visible.

Although it didn’t seem to provide any direct improvement, Nash still felt it was a good sign.

With thicker connections, Nash began to imagine what he could do.

Perhaps the various limitations of the runic system would be solved by then.

"Commander, how should we proceed with the soul currency? Should we stop?" Julius asked.

"No, continue for now. However, make sure you account for those who don’t have the runic system." Nash reminded him.

Although it would still inevitably create some inequality, Nash could only compensate them later when he had enough strength to accommodate everyone.

Giving various subsidies or a lump sum of soul points should be enough to bridge the gap.

"Furthermore, what’s going on with those backward planets from the other cosmic team alliances? Have they been taken care of?"

Although they were from other cosmic team alliances, now that they were living under his care, they shouldn’t have to live such hard lives.

How much was a piece of food compared to a life?

Even if he had to subsidize them, Nash didn’t care.

"This has already been taken care of. All those backward planets were supplied and subsidized. The black-market companies and the people behind them were also arrested and executed." Julius said coldly.

To live under the protection of his commander, all those vermin could only be executed.

"Good. What about those intelligence forces we sent out some time ago? Is there any progress?"

"They managed to settle into a few public zones to gather information. The two Xenus Cosmic Team Alliance was also located by them."

"Public zones? Are they safe?"

A public zone was a gathering point for a few cosmic team alliances to trade and exchange.

However, because it was in its early stages, there was no unified management among them.

"Don’t worry, Commander. They should be safe. We equipped them with the best weapons and support we have."

"Hmm. What’s happening outside then? Is it still chaotic?"

"Yes. After the Dark Beast Swarm, it became safer to venture out into the area. As a result, more and more resources have been found."

"With the spread of this news, most teams began to fight each other, form alliances, negotiate, or absorb other teams."

"Oh? What treasures have they found to cause so much chaos?"

"We heard a team found the legendary Everlife Tree, which had bore three mature fruit."

"The Everlife Tree!"

Hearing this, Nash was shocked.

This was a tier 9 resource that could grant a fruit of immortality.

If a mortal ate such a fruit, even if they didn’t advance at all in their lifetime, their lifespan could still stretch as long as the universe itself.
