Chapter 758: Eternal Military Outpost On Expedition

A year later, Nash’s progress on building the Mind Hive Module System remained at 9%.

"It’s too difficult." Stuck on a bottleneck for months, Nash felt a little tired. Whether it was a lack of runic pattern foundation or a few sprinkles of inspiration, he hadn’t made any progress in the past few months.

Exiting the time-accelerated state, Nash opened his eyes to the outside world.

"Hmm? My progress is not bad."

Although he was stuck on the Mind Hive Module, his progress with the virtualization of law was steady.

"1,500 virtualized laws. The next to virtualize are the 115 supreme laws and the 3 supreme primordial laws."

Calculating how fast he could virtualize the supreme laws, he estimated it would take about 10 days to finish each one. With 115 supreme laws, it would take over three years.

"It’s not too long. Perhaps before the next convention, I could advance to the Tier 7 realm." Nash mused.

His training progress could still speed up. After the power of will evolved to stage three in a year and a half, he could not only accelerate his virtualization of law, but also begin his primordial fusion.

Planning to take a break, Nash left the Chaos Origin Pool and teleported back to the Eternal Star Forbidden Domain.

---

After returning, the first thing he noticed was that all 18,720 dark gates were already stable, protected, and managed by the Eternal Military Outposts.

As a result, everyone could finally leave their shelters and exploit the resources in the Forbidden Domain. Seeing such a lively scene, Nash called Teal for a more detailed report.

"Greetings, Lord Nash, how are you?"

"I’m fine. I called to ask how the sales of the Eternal Military Outpost are going. Have you encountered any problems?"

"So far we’ve sold over 3,500 Eternal Military Outposts. This makes the total number of our mother core ships 1.125 million." Teal reported, with a hint of worry in his tone.

The goal was to sell all of the Eternal Military Outposts they produced and reach about 1.75 million mother core ships in a year, yet they were short by a margin.

"What happened? Are the major teams boycotting us?"

"No, it’s just that most high-level cosmic teams are about to run out of mother core ships."

After all, most high-level cosmic teams had already been incorporated into major teams. Even if they hadn’t, most of them didn’t have a Tier 8 mother core ship.

"I see. What about the major teams? Are they still insistent on the price?"

"Yes, they won’t back down. How about we just sell it to them?"

Although selling the Eternal Military Outpost for 100 units of mother core ships each was far below ideal, they would still come out ahead by increasing their production capacity with each transaction.

"Forget it. Even if we have a billion mother core ships, our production capacity is limited. It’s better not to sell to them at this point." Nash still rejected the idea.

The Eternal Military Outpost was a dark technology, meaning it needed to be filled with runic engravings. Workers capable of such precise work were limited. He estimated that 2,000-3,000 Eternal Military Outposts per month was their limit. Thus, instead of strengthening the enemy, it was better to depend on themselves.

"Then what do we do with the remaining Eternal Military Outposts? It’s a waste letting them just defend our territory."

Each Eternal Military Outpost took countless resources and manpower to build, leaving them lying around was no different than dumping money into the trash.

As for using them for dark gates, currently, they were just clearing the domain area near the Eternal Star Forbidden Domain. It would still take a few months before they could build the dark gates there. Meaning, during these few months, they would be producing thousands of Eternal Military Outposts with no immediate use.

"Furthermore, we’re also about to run out of the core materials for the Eternal Military Outpost. I estimate that we only have enough materials to create about 4,400 units." Teal said worriedly.

Because they weren’t ready for mass production of the Eternal Military Outpost, they hadn’t bought enough materials at the last Altier Auction, and as a result, they were about to run out of stock.

"Isn’t this perfect? With the extra Eternal Military Outposts, can’t we form an expedition team to the unexplored domain areas?"

"This—" Teal felt enlightened, not having thought in such a direction.

To launch an expedition to the unexplored domain areas, two prerequisites were required: a dimensional-scale teleportation array and a dimensional stronghold.

The Eternal Star Alliance already met the former requirement, but they still hadn’t built the latter.

However, based on the capabilities of the Eternal Military Outpost, they could simply treat it as a stronghold! No, in fact, it was even more ideal for an expedition.

Besides not being mobile, the Eternal Military Outpost was no worse than a dimensional stronghold. Furthermore, because they weren’t massive single structures, they wouldn’t attract too much danger in the first place.

More importantly, because they were easy to manufacture, they could establish multiple bases in the unexplored domain area, penetrating deeper into the core. They didn’t even have to worry about the corrosion of the dark origin essence, as the Eternal Military Outpost was a dark technology.

"Haha, maybe we can even advertise this and sell the Eternal Military Outpost to the Grand Race Sovereign Alliance and the God Emperor Knight Alliance," Nash said with a smile.

Like them, the two new major alliances didn’t have a dimensional stronghold. They could only get by with a makeshift base that they hastily put together, then return to their territory for frequent maintenance.

"That’s brilliant! We can totally sell this! No, perhaps we can even increase the price." Teal laughed loudly.

"Haha, don’t be in a hurry. First, build a thousand outposts and produce results in the unexplored domain area. Otherwise, they wouldn’t believe in a mere piece of data and a pitch."

"Understood! Let’s show them the might of the Eternal Star Alliance."

---

Over a month later, after working tirelessly, they assembled a total of 1,500 Eternal Military Outposts.

"We are ready, Lord Nash," Teal reported excitedly, eager to go on an expedition.

Most cosmic elites of the Eternal Star Alliance were currently idle after clearing the domain area around their Forbidden Domain. With nothing to do, an expedition was a perfect opportunity to stretch their muscles.

"What about those who bought the Eternal Military Outpost from us? What are their intentions?"

"Everyone agreed to go with us."

"That’s great!"

Having owned the Eternal Military Outpost for a few months to a year, they had already experienced the full extent of its capability. Just using it to defend their territory was truly a waste. Thus, the instant the Eternal Star Alliance invited them on an expedition, they eagerly signed up.

"Then you can proceed. Just be careful, don’t go too deep." Nash advised. Although the Eternal Military Outpost was powerful, it was an energy-hungry architecture; once they ventured deeper into an unexplored domain, they might get buried before they could retreat.

"Understood."

With Nash’s go-ahead, Teal hurriedly began preparing and mobilizing everyone in the Eternal Star Alliance, along with the foreign cosmic elites who wanted to join them.

A few days later, a grand procession of Eternal Military Outposts teleported into one of the unexplored domains. Upon arrival, everyone kept a calm expression.

"So this is the unexplored domain area," Russell muttered, looking at the harsh environment around the area.

However, what was surprising was that inside the Eternal Military Outpost, it was like a different world. No matter how harsh the wind was outside, inside it still felt like a cozy home.

"Buying this Eternal Military Outpost was really the best decision we’ve made!"

"You don’t have to tell me, I heard one could earn millions in here just by moving around."

"Haha, look, a swarm of dark beasts coming to deliver money!"

To buy the Eternal Military Outpost, Russell had rallied over a hundred high-level teams to form an alliance. Watching the dark beasts coming from every direction being butchered without them doing anything, they felt elated. This was like watching their fortunes finally turn around!

As each dark beast was purified, materials after materials began to drop, waiting to be picked up. Commanding the group, they boarded their battleships and collected each material.

Putting these materials into the purification center, a Tier 8 shelter from the Eternal Star Alliance began to get rid of the dark origin essence clinging to the items, as it counted how much they were worth.

[Complete! Collected materials worth 3,178 Chaos Stones]

"Over 3,000 Chaos Stones in just a few hours?! Crazy! This place is truly a treasure trove."

"Hahaha, our time to rise has come!"

If killing a few dark beasts could earn them thousands of Chaos Stones, what about finding a rich resource cluster? It might completely change their team’s status.

"Don’t forget there’s still tax."

"So what, it’s only 30%. Compared to the reward, it’s nothing."

Since the Eternal Star Alliance helped them transport such a large architecture, the tax rate would naturally be higher. However, compared to the rich rewards that came with almost no danger, it was nothing.

"Wait! Wait, what is that!"

"Oh, no! A Tier 9 dark beast."

"How could we be this unlucky!"

"Quickly retreat! Contact the Eternal Star Alliance to take us back."

"No, wait! Didn’t the Eternal Star Alliance tell us that this military outpost could handle a Tier 9 dark beast?" Russell said, determined to test the limit of the outpost.
