CHAPTER 210: [ADAPTIVE MODULE SYSTEM]

"Up to you..." Seeing Camilla wasn’t interested in learning, Nash began to ponder how his body could perfectly adapt to heat and other environments.

Though he could manipulate his void energy to various frequencies to resist heat, it was merely resistance, not immunity.

The heat wasn’t constant. Though stable within a range, environmental factors like wind, friction, and dust caused the heat’s wavelength to constantly shift.

Without a perfect counter, even perfect control of his void energy would be like an umbrella full of holes in a storm.

"It seems I need to create another module system..."

Fortunately, with his strong foundation in the runic programs in his body and over a million computational power, creating a new module system should be easy.

Soon, as they walked toward the center, matching Camilla’s pace, Nash began deducing how to incorporate various void energy frequencies into a module system.

While doing so, nine parallel consciousnesses uploaded data on different void energy frequencies they found in the nova library, while the other ten comprehended it.

---

Three days later, Nash created a basic [Adaptive Module System].

Currently, it could grant him complete immunity to temperatures up to 300°C.

Like the [Combat Module System], one of his parallel consciousnesses diligently updated its data, self-adapting to various temperatures.

"Not bad..."

Though the new module system was basic, it could grow on its own.

Furthermore, beyond being immune to 300°C and below, it could passively resist higher temperatures without requiring his active control.

"Hmm? You’re getting better at controlling your void energy!" Camilla said in surprise.

After walking a few hundred kilometers, the temperature had already reached 500°C.

At this stage, a normal human’s muscles and fat would combust instantly, while their bones would begin to calcify.

Even with bodies far stronger than normal and void energy to assist, it still felt like hot oil searing their flesh.

Without high adaptability, precise void control, or remarkable recovery, few could reach this point.

In fact, of the 113 people who started, fewer than 50 were still moving forward.

Thus, seeing Nash shift from struggling with intense focus to a relaxed demeanor, Camilla was a little surprised.

"Huh~ I just made some breakthrough." Nash smiled with ease.

Though he still felt hot, it only stung a little, as if the temperature were 50-60°C.

"Is it because of your genetic ability?" Camilla muttered enviously.

Thinking of Nash’s genetic ability, True Eyes, it made sense that he could adapt quickly in this environment.

As for her, though her Immortal Phoenix Body continuously recovered her skin and flesh, she still felt the burn seeping into her bones.

Fortunately, with plenty of experience, she held back the pain like an everyday routine.

"Do you want me to teach you?" Nash asked again.

"No thanks, it’s too difficult."

Nash had already tried to teach her the so-called void control yesterday, but besides wasting time and giving her a headache, she hadn’t learned anything.

"Up to you." Nash shrugged.

However, seeing Camilla in excruciating pain, he couldn’t help but frown.

It seemed he needed to quickly study Camilla’s body runic program.

This was just the first stage of their adaptability training, there was still eight other environment they needed to adapt.

Experiencing various tortures and endless pain, he couldn’t imagine how much pain Camilla would need to bear.

To quickly ease her pain, he temporarily shelved his plan to create the soul-tempering Chapter of the Infinite Soul Manual.

There was also the phantom falcon egg, which still needed a hundred days to hatch.

Initially, it would serve as his test subject for experimenting with a universal module system.

Unfortunately, proceeding step by step would take too long.

Even if he created a universal [Adaptive Module System], it would be useless if the trial was already over.

Anyway, Camilla had a tough, nearly immortal body.

Even if there were errors in the universal module system he created, she shouldn’t die.

Concentrating on studying each runic program in Camilla’s body, time began to slip by.

---

As days and weeks passed in the extreme heat zone, their progress began to stagger.

They would stop, adapt, then continue moving forward.

As a result, their progress slowed to a crawl.

From covering hundreds of kilometers in a few days, it now took a day to advance just one kilometer.

Even Camilla, with her Immortal Phoenix Body, struggled, stopping to adapt, unable to endure more pain.

As for Nash, he added nine more parallel consciousnesses to support the growth of the [Adaptive Module System].

The more the extreme the environment, the more changes it had that one parallel consciousness could no longer keep up.

The void energy frequency available in the library was simply not enough to create absolute immunity.

He also needed data from various factors, micro-adjustments, and timely changes, all of which required a parallel consciousness to process and record.

After optimizing the growth of the [Adaptive Module System], Nash also assigned ten parallel consciousnesses to monitor Camilla’s body’s runic program, tracking how it interacted with the environment and its various changes.

Unlike the runic space, where one parallel consciousness could record runic commands and their changes, reality had more interference and noise, making it harder to study.

After continuous upgrades, the [Parallel Module System] now had 60 parallel consciousnesses!

[Parallel Module System:

Main Consciousness: 548,352 CP

1-10: Comprehension: 100,000 CP

11-20: Reading Soul Manual: 100,000 CP

21-30: Reading Void Manual: 100,000 CP

31-39: Reading General Knowledge: 90,000 CP

40-49: Adaptive Input: 100,000 CP

50-59: Runic Program Observation: 100,000 CP

60: Runic Space Recording: 10,000 CP

Total Computation Power: 1,148,352 CP]

Since he wasn’t deriving a new manual, 500,000 computational power was enough for his main consciousness to function.

The rest, naturally, were mostly dedicated to reading books in the Nova Sector.

With trillions of books to upload, he wanted as many parallel consciousnesses to read as possible.

While checking his progress, Nash noticed a month had passed in the extreme heat zone, as they were notified to move to the next stage.

Since there were no milestones to reach, no matter how much they adapted, they had to proceed to the next extreme zone.

"It’s time for the next stage..."
