*Zup!*
The door opened as soon as it confirmed Tanxan's ID, revealing some kind of factory. Countless cores were going in and out of tubes, while others were placed inside small devices that refilled them with Divine Origin Energy. Tanxan then pointed to the left side, where one could see at least a hundred containers. "After so many years, I guess it makes sense there are so many defective cores. That's what you will find in those containers. Nonetheless, they should still be filled with clean Divine Origin Energy. Just to make sure I'm not going against my soul-binding, I can only allow you to take those."
Luan was feeling overwhelmed as he could see through the containers with his eyes. "Impressive. There is so much Divine Origin Energy that even Celis will take hundreds of years to absorb everything. No, perhaps thousands of years!"
"Celis?" Tanxan looked back. "Who is Celis?"
Rean didn't hide it. "Celis is a World Swallowing Cedar who is also our friend. His race is particularly great at energy absorption, thus, great at cultivation. But even he would take a very long time to use all of this."
"Is that so? I guess many different races were born during the time I was sleeping." Tanxan didn't pay much attention. "You are lucky to have me. If it was anyone else without the necessary Clearance, you can be sure they would be dead before getting anywhere near this room. Even Divinity Realm experts would fare no better."
Rean couldn't help but ask as he sent all the containers inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "It might look somewhat greedy, but are there other rooms like this one where we can get these defective Divine Origin Energy Cores? It might not be of much use to your Spaceship, but it definitely would help us a lot."
Tanxan pondered a bit. "These rooms are extremely important, so the Spaceship doesn't have many of them. One is obviously here. There are another two in Regions 1 and 3. The other regions don't have this kind of Divine Origin Energy Core factories. They receive the cores through teleportations instead."
Tanxan then smiled. "However, you were right about being greedy. You should be satisfied with what you got already. Especially since you only got here because I was with you. Your Corporal Clearance won't be enough to enter the others. So, unless you want to risk your life against the cream of the Defense System, I recommend you forget this idea."
Roan agreed with him. "He is right. This is already a huge harvest for us."
It was then that Rean remembered something. "Roan, do you think we will be forced to open our Dimensional Realm for others to see once we go out? Spiegel and Waremis mentioned that, didn't they? If they don't come out, we won't have anyone to help us."
Roan narrowed his eyes. "It is probable."
"What are you talking about?" Tanxan obviously didn't know what the issue was.
Rean then explained to Tanxan how they came to the Spaceship and what was waiting for them outside. Only then Tanxan understood their dilemma. "I see... These cores might not be much to the Spaceship, but they would definitely be a huge treasure for any power who wishes to develop their experts. Especially since you are probably the only ones who will have the chance to get this many cores. Well, that's not an issue, though."
"How come?" Rean, Roan, and Luan asked back.
"Simple," Tanxan continued. "When you decide to teleport away, just ask the system to open a Spatial Gate straight to the Realm of Gods, Underworld, or Heavens. Why must you take a ride with those guys if you can get there on your own?"
"It can open a Spatial Gate straight there? Aren't there obstacles and things like that on the way? Black holes, for example." They couldn't help but ask back.
"Hmph!" Tanxan Snorted. "What do you think this ship is? Its technology can completely ignore such issues. Don't worry. If I say it can open a direct connection, it is because it can. It's just that, unlike teleportation, you will need to go to one of the transfer installations to get a Spatial Gate open. Just ask the system when you are ready, and it will guide you to the nearest location."
"That's great! Thank you, Tanxan." Rean was obviously ecstatic.
The last container disappeared into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Seeing that, Tanxan nodded in satisfaction. "We usually don't have much to do with these defective cores, so it is good you guys can use it."
Roan couldn't help but ask. "What about you? Couldn't your race use these cores for cultivation instead?" The Divine Origin Energy inside was clean, which meant it could be used by anyone. It was different from the Divine Origin Energy that cultivators convert from Divine Energy for themselves. Those ones could only be used by themselves and would be incompatible with others. If not because of the system, there was no way Kentucky and Celis shared their cultivation with Rean and Roan.
Tanxan shook his head. "We can't. The laws of the Universe won't allow me to cultivate."
Sister Orb surprisingly confirmed Tanxan's words. [He is right. The Universe sees any Living Being that comes from outside as an invader. They can still use the Divine Energy and Origin Energy around to battle and power up things. However, they definitely can't use it for cultivation. That must be one more reason why Tanxan didn't mind giving you these cores other than the loophole.]
'So that's how it is...' Rean, Roan, and Luan were surprised to hear that.
Rean then sighed. "You were right, senior Tanxan. If staying here means not being able to cultivate anymore, I would also risk using the Dimensional Thursters even if the chances of the Spaceship exploding were high."
Tanxan nodded. "That's one more reason." Tanxan then prepared to bring them out. "Alright, let's leave. You can go after your item once we are out."
However, the lights in the room suddenly turned red, just like when the twins first arrived inside the Spaceship.

"What?!" Tanxan felt like he was struck by lightning. "Impossible!"
