Novel Full Chapter 254: Peak Titan Rank!
[While you were deep in thought, you’ve decided to inform Astraea about your intentions and ask for her opinion about it.]
[No matter what, having the Zenith Train Crewmates possess the X-rank Second Life innate talent would mean that the Zenith Train Crew could take more risks to attain more gains.]
["Astraea, would you mind if we share your X-rank Second Life innate talent crystal with every member of the Zenith Train Crew?"]
["Of course, it’s not for free. I know sharing it will be equivalent to you not awakening any talent at all if everyone also has it. So, in return, I can let you choose from my innate talents, which are Future Diary, Psychic Lord, and even Wish Maker."]
["As for X-rank Mental Fortification, I already plan to give everyone a copy of it. It’s to ensure that everyone in the Zenith Train Crew will not be affected by any mental interference, even if all of us already possess high Spirit attribute."]
[While asking Astraea for her opinion, you took out several X-rank Mental Fortification innate talent crystals from your system inventory and handed them to Scarlet, Astraea, Morvane, and Old MacDonald.]
[Using the trade feature, Jade also assisted you in gifting Magnus and Cecilia those two innate crystals.]
[After they received the X-rank Mental Fortification innate talent crystals, they immediately used them, allowing them to acquire the X-rank Mental Fortification innate talent.]
[After Astraea received the X-rank Mental Fortification innate talent, she knew that your intentions were pure and you wanted each of the Zenith Train Crewmates to have better survivability.]
[With that in mind, Astraea contemplated for a while before nodding her head in agreement, "Okay, I’ll accept your offer. As for the innate talent I want in exchange for it, I want the X-rank Future Diary innate talent."]
[Since those were the only options she was given, Astraea could only choose Future Diary.]
[Astraea knew that you left out X-rank All Stars Aligned on purpose. After all, among those three powerful innate talents, X-rank All Stars Aligned was arguably the strongest.]
[Wish Maker could only be used weekly after it was upgraded to X-rank. Yet, while it could grant any wish, it was mostly those wishes that could already be achieved by oneself that would be successfully granted.]
[Unless the user possessed tremendous, Wish Maker was nothing but a glorified gambling machine.]
[In comparison, Future Diary was the most useful when it came to predicting not only the future but also to check whether one would die or not.]
[It might not be as exaggerated as All Stars Aligned, which could prevent one’s death by ensuring that everything would align to the user’s advantage, but it was still a useful innate talent.]
[Since she already has Second Life and Mental Fortification, Astraea decided to take Future Diary to further ensure her survivability.]
[As a Pureblood Vampire, she knew that the META strategy of such long-lived species was to live as long as possible and avoid death.]
[As a Late Titan rank Pureblood Vampire, Astraea already possessed several million years of lifespan.]
[As long as she lived to the end of her lifespan, becoming a Peak Aether rank powerhouse was already guaranteed, let alone having a high possibility to reach Starlight rank.]
[After all, you remembered that among Immortal Cultivators, there was even a saying that with a million years, even a pig could become an Immortal.]
[In this case, no matter how bad Astraea’s luck was in the following years, even if she went solo and left the Zenith Train Crew, her talent and lifespan as a Pureblood Vampire already guaranteed her to reach Aether rank no matter what.]
[Because of that, Astraea went all in on improving her survivability.]
[After Astraea received the X-rank Future Diary innate talent, you’ve let Jade give Scarlet, Morvane, and the others the X-rank Second Life innate talent.]
[With them acquiring that innate talent, you’re confident that most enemies would no longer be able to wipe out the Zenith Train Crew.]
[With both Passenger Safety Mechanism and Second Life, you and the others in the Zenith Train Crew have two extra lives, requiring all of you to be killed three times to truly die.]
[Even then, with the skill set that you all possessed, having one of the members killed three times would be a very unlikely event, let alone achieving that for all the members.]
[After all, Old MacDonald could heal everyone using X-rank Plant Life Monarch, and you could also achieve the same using Absolute Boundary. Not to mention, you could even revive them using Absolute Boundary and World Order if they haven’t died that long.]
[All in all, the improvement of the Zenith Train Crew’s survivability had allowed you to take more risks!]
[Due to that, you and the others dared to take such risks!]
[A month after you all acquired Talent Cosmic Spice and recruited Magnus and Cecilia, you all went to higher-ranking stations and challenged stronger opponents!]
[During that month, you all managed to slay Peak Titan rank powerhouses, allowing you to use their blood and flesh as fertilizers to raise the rank of the Crystal Gem Tree to Peak Titan rank.]
[After the Crystal Gem Tree reached Peak Titan rank, it bore Peak Titan-grade Crystal Gem Fruits, which you’ve added to your food catalog by obliterating it since you couldn’t eat it yet, or else you’d trigger the Train Conductor Trial when you’ve reached Late Titan rank.]
[But with its addition to your food catalog, you created tons of it and gave them to your train crewmates.]
[After eating it, Scarlet and the others successfully became Peak Titan rank powerhouses!]
[Unfortunately, the limit of the Crystal Gem Tree has been reached. A Crystal Gem Fruit couldn’t reach Aether-grade since there was a fundamental difference between Crystal rank and Aether rank.]
[According to what you’ve discovered, the Aether-grade version of such fruit was called the Ether Fruit. Like the Crystal Gem Fruit, the Ether Fruit could improve the overall stats of an Aether rank powerhouse.]
