Chapter 296: Walking Your Own Path, What “Perfection” Could Mean
[After your Wish Authority became the Wish Principle, the things that X-rank Wish Maker could achieve became greater.]
[Even without X-rank Machine God Genesis, you still felt that if you wanted to, you could still wish for the existence of that sentient mechanical life form and let them act as your manager.]
[You’ve confirmed that those things you could achieve by yourself without wishing for it would almost succeed in wishing for it every time. For example, if you wished for the death of an Initial Starlight rank Wild God, you could easily achieve it!]
[Because of this, at your power rank, those Initial Starlight rank and Mid Starlight rank could no longer pose a threat. No amount of quantity could defeat you as you could easily compensate by multiplying yourself or wishing upon their death.]
[Although doing so would greatly consume your energy, the Late Starlight-grade Starlight Berries created by Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) without any cost could easily recover your energy.]
[Due to this, you’ve managed to use the Wish Principle to kill enemies even more efficiently than the Death Papyrus.]
[As an Ancient Human who could speak the Adamic Language, you discovered that your speaking speed was way faster than your writing speed. You were basically so proficient in speaking to the point that you wouldn’t utter something incorrectly.]
[Because of this, not only would chanting those magic spells be way easier and would even provide even greater magic power upon casting, but using word-based abilities like World Order and Wish Maker was much faster than other abilities that required other actions.]
[Not to mention, some really ancient Wild Gods spoke incomprehensible language. But with your Adamic Language, while you weren’t fluent in their tongue, you could understand the intent of their words and the meaning they wanted to convey, which allowed you to understand and communicate with them despite not knowing their language.]
[Although you didn’t have any plans of communicating with those Wild Gods, it still allowed you to realize just how useful the Adamic Language was.]
[If not for being unable to comprehend multiple high-grade Principles at once, you really wanted to comprehend Wish Principle as well. After all, Wish Maker with Wish Principle had boosted effects when spoken with the Adamic Language.]
[Unfortunately, you couldn’t expend that much attention on multiple high-grade Principles at once. You highly needed to focus on the Boundary Principle and Order Principle, or else your power rank would lag behind.]
[After all, while you were still stuck at Initial Starlight rank, train crewmates like Old MacDonald who didn’t have to dabble in multiple high-grade Principles had already become a Mid Starlight rank powerhouse.]
[Not only Old MacDonald, Jade, Morvane, Magnus, and Cecilia also managed to advance to Mid Starlight rank earlier than you.]
[Needless to say, Magnus and Cecilia’s comprehension speed and talent weren’t inferior to yours due to them being Ancient Humans. Aside from that, they merely focused on comprehending one Principle, which made it easier for them to focus all their efforts on it.]
[Even Jade also focused her attention on her Exchange Principle, managing to increase to more than 35.001% law fragment ownership way earlier than you.]
[Although your Principle law fragment ownership lagged behind them, your combat power still improved due to comprehending the Wish Principle and Luck Principle.]
[You estimated that you had enough time to progress your Principles, so you weren’t in a hurry to improve your power rank, unlike them.]
[You knew that you couldn’t be hasty or else the advantage of invincibility you created for yourself in the earlier stages wouldn’t be able to be brought into the late stages.]
[The only difference was that even if your power rank didn’t increase, your combat power still increased. By the time you stepped into the same power rank as them, you’ll be way stronger than your train crewmates who only comprehended one or two Principles.]
[’If not for the doomsday life simulator system, I wouldn’t dare spread myself too thin, comprehending too many Principles. But unlike my train crewmates and even Jade, while power rank is useful to me, what’s more important is laying a foundation for myself.’]
[’The more Principles I comprehend that suited my path, the more knowledge and understanding I have over the Universal Laws that make up reality. Eventually, I’d be able to rely on myself to forge my own path and not the one laid by the predecessors of each world.’]
[’In the end, the path those predecessors left is the one that suited them the most. What I need to eventually achieve is creating a path that is most suitable for me, preferably a path that leads to the end of this infinite reality’s power levels.’]
[Thinking of this, you decisively chose this path and didn’t want to cut corners.]
[Aside from this, there was a major reason why you wanted to choose this path.]
[You recalled that "The One", who was behind the monthly apocalypse world update, had one of his followers mention the requirement of achieving "perfection".]
[Even with your current power rank and life level, you still couldn’t fully comprehend what the "Perfection" spoke of by that follower.]
[Even the World Will of Terra had mentioned that the Terrans’ aim should be to become "Perfect Beings" that "The One" intended them to be.]
[Although the surface meaning could be understood, which was to shed away imperfections and achieve perfection, what you couldn’t comprehend was the criteria for this perfection.]
[After all, for all you know, it might be possible for a powerhouse who could destroy and create multiverses to still be deemed as "imperfect".]
[From what could be discerned, "Perfection" might not be merely the requirement of power rank.]
[If you were to refer to those holy books and other mythologies, even the first human Adam wasn’t described as "perfect". After he was created, it was only remarked as "very good".]
[Even later high-achieving humans, such as Job, were at most described as "blameless", which could be interpreted as "complete integrity".]
[You didn’t know the authenticity of those books since while there might be a possibility of them being real in your past life, it might not be the case for this current life of yours.]
