Chapter 274: World Globes!
[The World Globe Display World literally allowed you to collect station worlds and display them within it!]
[In some cases, the function of the World Globe Display World was already similar to a star system or even a galaxy, allowing you to properly store and accommodate countless worlds within it.]
[The World Globe Display World was quite interesting as its train carriage interior seemed quite small. It showed a void-like space with just wooden display shelves within it where World Globes could be placed.]
[However, despite its small space, it was precisely because it could store multiple worlds within it that it had to be small and efficient, allowing it to concentrate its resources on maintaining the operations of the worlds within the World Globes.]
[Within the World Globe Display World, you’ve already stored more than fifty World Globes within it, including some of the Station Worlds that you and the Zenith Train Crew had encountered.]
[For example, Scarlet’s Red Riding Hood Station and the Spirit Avatar Battle Station were all revisited by you with the purpose of shrinking them and turning them into World Globes.]
[Of course, the area of the World Globes you’ve acquired from those stations wasn’t just limited to the Stations you’ve all previously explored. For example, the Red Riding Hood Station was only that of a village, yet the entire world within it wasn’t just that small village.]
[You went your way and stored the entire world!]
[When you and the others had revisited those stations, the World Barrier was no longer limited to a village or city, but instead, it was up to the entire world of those stations!]
[Not only did it allow you and the others to explore the entire world of those stations you previously couldn’t, but it also allowed you to shrink the entire world without the obstruction of the World Barrier.]
[The World Barrier of a Station World was dependent on the strength of the Station’s danger rating. The danger rating of a station would only include the area enclosed by the World Barrier.]
[Because of that, even if a world has an Aether rank powerhouse, if the World Barrier that enclosed the station only included the area where there was a Crystal rank powerhouse, then the danger rating would only be based on the strongest powerhouse within the station, as well as the hidden threats of the environment.]
[The likelihood of encountering stations with a higher danger rating was naturally proportional to the overall power rank of the train crew. Because of that, the Zenith Train Crew would mostly encounter stations that included the scope of their entire world.]
[For example, the Shattered Shooting Star Station was a station that had the World Barrier enclosing the entire world. Due to that, the danger rating was based on the entire world since the entire world became the station rather than just a city or continent of it.]
[Speaking of which, you had also returned to the Shattered Shooting Star Station with the Zenith Train Crew and shrunk it, storing the entire world of the Shattered Shooting Star Station into your World Globe.]
[Unfortunately, doing so wouldn’t yield any talent cosmic spice. The talent cosmic spice wasn’t unique to the Shattered Shooting Star, but to the galaxy it was in.]
[The Shattered Shooting Star Station was just a world that was fortunate to have meteors containing the talent cosmic spice land on their world. But since it was now isolated from that galaxy and was even in a world globe displayed in your train carriage, it was impossible for it to generate any new talent cosmic spice.]
[Regardless, you didn’t care much since the talent cosmic spice you had currently was the highest you could find. Any higher than that would involve a Starlight rank alien civilization, basically a Type 2 civilization.]
[You didn’t want to offend a Starlight rank powerhouse, let alone an alien civilization that had several of them.]
[Undoubtedly, as your power rank increased, the advantage of your bloodline rank’s stat improvements became lower. In other words, while the improvement of your stats as an Ancient Human wouldn’t directly translate to being able to fight against those above your power rank.]
[As for why, only weaker power ranks would neglect their bloodline rank. But for those at Aether rank and Starlight rank, they were already prodigies among prodigies, an existence that was the top of their race.]
[Because of that, your advantage over them through a high bloodline rank wasn’t as dominant as before.]
[Most of your enemies at the Aether rank had bloodline ranks equal to that of the human race’s Arch Human, with a few of the truly powerful Aether rank powerhouses equal to Ancient Humans.]
[Of course, it wasn’t due to them having a Blood Fruit Tree and nurturing it to Aether rank. Rather, they were born with such a bloodline to begin with.]
[Not everyone could nurture a Blood Fruit Tree to Peak Aether rank like you. After all, the cost was quite enormous, and it was only possible due to you possessing Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) to duplicate flesh and blood.]
[In other words, while your Ancient Human bloodline allowed you to possess stats at Initial Starlight rank despite only being at Peak Aether rank, other truly powerful and talented Peak Aether rank powerhouses would also have that benefit.]
[Due to that, it reduced your advantage when it came to stats. Your overall power was only at Half-Step Starlight rank.]
[Against a true Starlight rank powerhouse, you doubt you could kill them unless it was those truly weak ones who had neglected their foundation.]
[After all, those at Starlight rank not only had a minimum of 30.001% Principle, but they even have bloodline ranks that were not worse than yours or just a rank lower.]
[At most, you could guarantee that with X-rank Second Life and other life-saving abilities, those at Initial Starlight rank couldn’t completely kill you.]
[’Sigh, as my power rank increases, the advantage I have over those at higher power ranks becomes lower.’]
[’To ensure that I can still be invincible in the same realm when I step into Starlight rank, I must comprehend and attain a high-grade Principle!’]
