Chapter 275: Impending Doomsday Of The Train Survival World
[’After all, even the main Principle comprehended by the Peak Starlight rank Vampire Progenitor is only a low-grade Blood Principle.’]
[’Those ancient Starlight rank powerhouses who had occupied most of the ownership of low-grade Principles had naturally used low-grade law fragments to attain Starlight rank.’]
[’As long as I can comprehend a high-grade Principle, my Principle can overpower theirs due to Principles of higher grade having higher priority over the lower grade ones.’]
[’It was for this reason that the Vampire Progenitor was also slowly switching to a high-grade Principle.’]
[Thinking of this, your plan to pursue a high-grade Principle was already in motion long ago.]
[Even if it would take you more time to comprehend the Order Principle and Boundary Principle, you didn’t mind.]
[For a system user like you with a simulator, time was nothing but a cheap resource.]
[Moreover, as a Peak Aether rank Ancient Human, your lifespan was at a terrifying one million!]
[In fact, that wasn’t even your limit. If you were to consume life-extending resources and such, it wasn’t impossible to push it to several million.]
[The only problem for you was whether the Train Survival World could last that long.]
[When most Train Conductors were asked whether this world was peaceful or not, they wouldn’t doubt that even if it wasn’t peaceful, the Train Survival World wouldn’t be on the verge of destruction.]
[In fact, you had the wishful thinking that the Train Survival World could safely allow you to live for at least a thousand years. However, as you became stronger, you realized that the Train Survival World wasn’t far from meeting its end.]
[Or rather, if this Train Survival World didn’t encounter an apocalyptic event, it would be far more unusual. After all, you haven’t forgotten that the Two-Person Extreme Train Survival is a doomsday scenario.]
[At first, you had assumed that the doomsday element of the Two-Person Extreme Train Survival scenario was regarding the forced mass transmigration of Terrans into this perilous world.]
[But as you became stronger, accessed more information, and had a bigger picture of this universe’s state, you realized that the doomsday wasn’t just for Terrans, but for the entire Train Survival World!]
[In other words, it wasn’t merely the Terrans who’d suffer. Even the high and mighty Starlight rank powerhouses would fall and meet their doom if they weren’t careful!]
[’From what I’ve discovered, the reason why Train Conductors suddenly popped up out of nowhere and were able to reach Aether rank this quickly was due to the backing of the World Will.’]
[’Naturally, the World Will created the identity of Train Conductors for a reason.’]
[’From what I know, when worlds encounter a doomed end, as long as it wasn’t something that would wipe them out in one blow, they’d react to it by creating a heavenly destined child who’d become the protagonist of the world, using that protagonist to deal with the one who’d cause the end of the world.’]
[’However, in this case, it wasn’t merely just a world but the entire universe that was in danger. Because of that, the Train Survival World’s Will, or more collectively known as the entire Will of the Universe, invested resources into countless protagonists.’]
[’Those protagonists are none other than the Train Conductors. Unlike other beings of this world, they have fewer advancement requirements and could easily increase their power rank just by meeting the stat requirements.’]
[’The Train Conductor’s power rank progression is unimpeded at least up until Aether rank, where they’re required to possess an Authority.’]
[’The nature of this universe required Aether rank powerhouses to possess an Authority. Additionally, Starlight rank powerhouses were required to possess a Principle to become a legitimate Starlight rank powerhouse.’]
[’Because of this, the Train Survival World’s Will could only give convenience to the Train Conductors up until they stepped into the Aether rank.’]
[You knew that even then, the World Will had assisted the Train Conductors by allowing them to easily become a Starlight rank powerhouse by slaughtering each other to collect enough Train Conductor Authority percentage to let it form a Principle.]
[However, you estimated that the Train Conductor Principle wasn’t really a truly powerful Principle.]
[As powerhouses became stronger, the advantages of being able to travel from world to world lost their meaning when one became an Aether rank powerhouse, let alone a Starlight rank powerhouse.]
[The Aether rank and Starlight rank were intended to be a power rank transition where they could only be grinded for hundreds or even thousands of years.]
[You knew that even if you acquired the Train Conductor Principle, while you might not be the weakest Starlight rank powerhouse, you wouldn’t be exceptionally strong either.]
[It was for this reason that you didn’t want to pin your hopes on becoming a Starlight rank powerhouse with just the Train Conductor Principle. Otherwise, you’d become a mediocre existence among Starlight rank powerhouses with merely a decent combat power and couldn’t truly be invincible among them.]
[’Sigh, in the end, the World Will did this to mass-produce powerhouses in order to deal with the impending doom of this universe.’]
[’But as it turned out, even its mass-production of powerhouses has its limits. The most senior Train Conductor had only reached Late Aether rank, at least up until I became a Peak Aether rank powerhouse.’]
[’To reach that high of a power rank took several hundred years of resource acquisition from countless worlds. Yet, Aether rank and the ranks above it aren’t merely based on resources alone but more specifically talent and comprehension.’]
[’Although the Aether rank Train Conductors had the shortcut to Starlight rank, which is to slaughter each other and accumulate enough law fragment percentage to form the Train Conductor Principle, it’s quite difficult to achieve.’]
[’At minimum, an Initial Aether rank Train Conductor possessed 0.001% Train Conductor Authority. In other words, to achieve a 30.001% Principle, then including the 0.001% they started with, they have to kill 30,000 Initial Aether rank Train Conductors!’]
[’Actually, even after several hundred years of the advent of the Train Conductor Era, there aren’t that many Aether rank Train Conductors. In other words, this path is almost a dead end!’]
