Chapter 279: 10.752% Order Authority And 12.035% Boundary Authority
[When it came to comprehending Authorities, having multiple high-grade Authorities might be an advantage, but those who had a higher law fragment percentage would dominate more easily.]
[It was common knowledge that those with a higher law fragment percentage would have their Authority prioritized over those with a lower percentage.]
[For example, those with 10% Time Authority would be at the mercy of those with 12% Time Authority. The higher the gap between law fragment percentage, the more the Authority Holder with a higher law fragment percentage could dominate the one with a lower Authority.]
[Authorities were built in a way that it was a lot easier to override those who possessed lower authorities, especially if they were of the same authority.]
[But if it were different authorities, then aside from the higher Authority percentage, it also depended on the Authority Holder’s skillful usage of their authority.]
[In other words, while those who comprehended multiple Authorities could defeat those of the same rank and be invincible against them, those with a higher Authority, even if they didn’t have multiple Authorities, would fare better than those with multiple but lower Authorities.]
[It was for this reason that you focused on comprehending Order and Boundary first. With your current comprehension speed, comprehending two high-grade Authorities was your limit.]
[If you were to step into Half-Step Starlight rank by having either your Boundary Authority or Order Authority reach 20.001% Authority, it wouldn’t be too late to comprehend the Multiplication Authority.]
[The help that your Multiplication Authority could bring you was mostly auxiliary. It wasn’t as crucial as Order or Boundary, which you mostly used in not only your daily life but also combat.]
[With that plan in mind, you continued comprehending your Order Authority and Boundary Authority.]
[Unbeknownst to you and the others who were in deep focus, time flew by, and two years passed by.]
[For Aether rank Train Conductors like yourself, the Zenith Train could ignore the weekly Extreme Events and no longer have to experience them.]
[Moreover, the Zenith Train no longer has mandatory stations and could travel to stations once per day whenever they wanted. Because of that, you and the others didn’t have to experience any interruptions in each of your authority comprehension.]
[During the past two years, there weren’t any noteworthy events to mention. You had ignored those Terran Train Conductors since the help they could give you was mostly limited.]
[If you ever needed innate talents, you could harvest them anytime since those who lasted longer would eventually have a higher-grade innate talent, or else they wouldn’t have lived for that long.]
[Due to that, you ignored the messages of those Terran Train Conductors in the world chat and regional chat and mostly focused on the comprehension of your authorities.]
[For Aether rank powerhouses like you and the others, eating food was no longer necessary since the consumption of energy could replace the need for that.]
[For this reason, you and the others meditated for two years straight and only moved and tested the progress of your respective authorities in the Training Ground World from time to time.]
[But aside from anything related to the comprehension of authorities, you and the others didn’t do anything else.]
[You knew how important it was to step into the Starlight rank as it would allow you to survive better in the impending doomsday caused by those slumbering Wild Gods.]
[Not only you, but Jade and your fellow train crewmates also recognized the current predicament of powerhouses in the Train Survival World.]
[You and the others naturally focused on comprehending your authorities just to step into the Starlight rank as soon as possible. Even Old MacDonald, who was in semi-retirement, wasn’t as idle as before and had also focused on comprehending his Farming Authority.]
[Due to this, the progress of comprehending your authorities was a bit faster, as you all focused your attention on it and concentrated on doing that.]
[Naturally, your Order Authority and Boundary Authority progressed well.]
[The past two years have allowed you to comprehend 10.752% Order Authority and 12.035% Boundary Authority.]
[As for your third Authority, you even managed to comprehend 3.126% Multiplication Authority on the side.]
[After both Order Authority and Boundary Authority reached 10.001% and above, the speed of comprehending it became somewhat slower.]
[You knew it was due to owning more law fragments that you would require you to understand the universal law even more deeply.]
[It was like the difference between starting out as a beginner and becoming a professional.]
[The speed of becoming a professional, then a grandmaster of that field, would take far longer than the time taken from that of a beginner to a professional.]
[It was somewhat the same for comprehending universal law. The difference was that it was way more difficult than learning a discipline or skill.]
[After all, comprehending an Authority and becoming an Authority Holder meant one became an existence above all people in that field within that world.]
[It was to the point that their mastery of that field allowed them to comprehend an Authority and partake in the ownership of that universal law.]
[A great example of that was Old MacDonald. You and the others were mostly comprehending Authorities that were related to the elements or building blocks of the universe.]
[But for Old MacDonald’s case, he further sublimated his understanding of the field of farming and allowed him to partake in the ownership of that discipline.]
[With his Farming Authority, Old MacDonald was not only peerless in the field of farming, but he could even prevent others from performing the acts of farming.]
[That was how overbearing an Authority was. It was like owning the shares of that universal law, until one could hold a monopoly of it!]
[In the end, with sufficient Authority percentage, Old MacDonald could even deprive others of any skills they’ve learned as a farmer, revoking them of the right to step into that field again!]
[Although you and the others didn’t comprehend Authorities related to skills and disciplines, the usage of Authority was still somewhat similar.]
[At least, with your current 10.752% Order Authority, you could deprive an entire world of Order, letting an entire race’s civilization become lawless, falling into chaos, and eventually destruction!]
