Novel Full Chapter 265: Advancement Requirement To Attain Starlight Rank
[It was no wonder that Jade was beyond astonished.]
[A Peak Aether rank would only have a 2% Authority. Yet, to advance to Initial Starlight rank, they’re required to possess 30.001% Principle?!]
[It was for this reason that no one in this era could become a Starlight rank powerhouse.]
[Not just the Train Conductors who were stuck at the Late Aether rank. Even if Train Conductors were given a thousand years, they’d only have an estimate of 20% Authority under great progression.]
[20% Authority was still too low when compared to 30.001% Principle. One should know that the law fragments percentage wasn’t based on just the ones but calculated in decimals of the thousandths place!]
[The gap between a Peak Aether rank powerhouse with 2% Authority and an Initial Starlight rank powerhouse with 30.001% Principle could naturally be seen.]
[Further confirming Jade’s realization, you sighed, "For this reason, Astraea’s Blood Authority is a dead end. From what I’ve discovered, the unowned law fragment percentage left for something as common as the Blood Authority is only 2.763%."]
["Most of the law fragments are owned by the Vampire Progenitor. The Vampire Progenitor alone possessed 57% Blood Principle. Not to mention, another Pureblood Vampire at Mid Starlight rank also possessed 34% Blood Principle."]
["For this reason, unless we kill that Mid Starlight rank Pureblood Vampire, Astraea cannot advance to Starlight rank with the Blood Authority. The percentage of law fragments left unowned wasn’t enough to support her in upgrading her Blood Authority to Blood Principle."]
["Because of this, this era has the least chance of advancement to Starlight rank. In fact, Train Conductors in this era have higher chances of becoming a Starlight rank powerhouse if they were to wait long enough for there to be enough Train Conductor law fragments."]
["Otherwise, those who plan to advance to Starlight rank with a different authority would have to either kill another Starlight rank powerhouse to free up the owned law fragments, or comprehend those rare and high-grade Universal Laws like Time or Fate."]
[Listening to your explanation, Jade sighed, "Needless to say, the latter is a dead end. Even those Starlight rank powerhouses who existed for millions of years couldn’t take the ownership of those law fragments."]
["Perhaps, only Arch Humans like us who had high comprehension and talent could rely on ourselves to comprehend a high-grade Principle like Time or Order. But even I somewhat doubt if that’s possible in a short amount of time."]
["I guess only by becoming an Ancient Human that we’d be able to comprehend a high-grade Principle within a year or so in the main world time."]
[Jade realized that even if someone were to kill a Starlight rank powerhouse, that didn’t guarantee that the liberated law fragments would become one’s own.]
[At most, it would just free up the owned law fragments and open up the opportunity to comprehend a Principle.]
[Reading the expression on Jade’s face, you shook your head, "No, World Order cannot deprive others of their Authority and make it one’s own."]
["The only reason why I could achieve something similar was that it’s possible to extract the Authority, or the law fragment of an Authority Holder."]
["However, that extracted law fragment already had the ’signature’ of that Holder. According to the Universe Rules, even if I manage to wipe out the signature of that law fragment, it’d only become an unowned law fragment."]
["Unowned law fragment can be absorbed, but absorbing them forcibly would only yield diminishing returns. For example, an average person absorbing an unowned 10% law fragment might only be able to retain and own 0.01% law fragment."]
["The rest of the unowned law fragment would be returned to the Universe as an unowned law fragment. It’s also due to this universe rule that those Authority Holders who had died would eventually have their law fragments returned to the universe as unowned law fragments."]
[Hearing your explanation, Jade realized, "In other words, the best course of action is to use World Order to extract the owned authority. After acquiring the condensed owned Authority, we can then take our time to look and analyze it, comprehending it and making it our own."]
[You nodded in agreement, "That’s pretty much it. As long as we possessed the condensed owned Authority, then it will never be released back to the universe as unowned law fragments."]
["It will have the same effect as a living Authority Holder occupying that certain percentage share of the Universal Law."]
[After Jade and you discussed that, it took a few hours before the two of you left the subspace.]
[After leaving that subspace, you announced to Scarlet and the others that Jade was successfully resurrected and that your plan to complete the Train Conductor Trial had succeeded.]
[Naturally, Scarlet and the others congratulated you both. Not only that, but they’ve also known from you and Jade that while Jade no longer possessed the Train Conductor Authority, her authority and treatment as your Assistant Train Conductor remained the same.]
[Jade still possessed the Assistant Train Conductor Authority, and while it was only a sub-authority under yours, it still was higher in rank and privilege than their Train Crewmate Authority.]
[Afterwards, you and Jade informed Scarlet, Astraea, and the others about what you and she had talked about, including the goal of the Zenith Train Crew.]
[Knowing that you two both planned to let the Zenith Train Crew farm Mid Aether rank powerhouses for not only their flesh and blood but also their law fragments, Scarlet and the others didn’t disagree with it and supported it.]
[Knowing your plan, Magnus pondered for a while before he spoke up, "According to your plan, if we ever encounter someone with a high law fragment percentage Authority, we’ll extract it instead of feeding it to the Ether Fruit Tree."]
[Magnus suggested, "To expand on that plan, we should collect items that can improve one’s comprehension. Not all of our Zenith Train Crewmates possessed high talent and comprehension like you, Jade, Cecilia, and I."]
["At least, our Zenith Train Crewmates must at least comprehend an Authority of their own with 2% law fragment percentage."]
