Novel Full Chapter 269: Six Months Time Skip, Advancement To Peak Aether Rank!
[After becoming an Ancient Human, everything became extremely efficient for you. Needless to say, Perfect Internal Harmony and Adamic Language had assisted you a lot.]
[Not to mention, with your improved luck, your luck became even greater than most worlds. In effect, it was like having everything going the way you want it to be.]
[As long as your enemy had a huge gap in luck when compared to you, they would experience unfortunate events when going against you.]
[Because of that, the Zenith Train Crew had been very smooth-sailing. Every member of the Zenith Train Crew was a powerhouse who had protagonist-like luck.]
[Unless you all intentionally sought death and offended those Starlight rank powerhouses, it was unlikely for the Zenith Train Crew to meet its end.]
[’Perhaps, the only possibility of encountering danger is if our actions would hinder or ruin the interests of some Starlight rank Wild Gods and native station world powerhouses.’]
[So far, the Zenith Train Crew hasn’t encountered that yet. But with your intelligence, you already guessed that it would likely be related to the Zenith Train Crew owning certain percentages of law fragments.]
[After all, let alone Aether rank powerhouses, even Starlight rank powerhouses needed law fragments more than the former.]
[You presumed that if not for Astraea being a Pureblood Vampire, she would have already been hunted by the Vampire Progenitor for owning 2.678% Blood Authority.]
[Because of Astraea’s ownership of that amount of Blood Authority law fragment percentage, there weren’t any unowned law fragments left for Blood Universal Law.]
[Fortunately, Hint Prompt had already confirmed that the Vampire Progenitor had already abandoned comprehending the Blood Principle and was transitioning to a much higher grade Authority. Due to that, Astraea’s actions wouldn’t attract his attention.]
[Aside from Astraea, you and the others also successfully learned or improved an Authority.]
[Jade had comprehended 2.17% Equality Authority and 2.89% Exchange Authority.]
[As for you, you had comprehended 1.29% Order Authority and 2.976% Boundary Authority.]
[Even Scarlet, who didn’t possess an Authority before, had successfully comprehended 1.27% Moon Authority and 4.57% Wolf Authority.]
[The improvement of bloodline and power rank had improved Scarlet’s affinity towards Moon and Wolf.]
[As for you and Jade, both of your progress was slow since the two of you chose to tackle high-grade Authorities.]
[Anyway, if the two of you truly needed to comprehend low-grade Authorities, it wouldn’t be too late to switch to learn one.]
[Learning lower-grade Authorities wouldn’t improve your combat power, which was the reason why you and Jade learned Authorities related to either your innate talent or innate abilities.]
[Jade knew that her X-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent was more valuable to you and the entire crew compared to her Golden Time spirit avatar’s usage of time.]
[Because of that, Jade decided to comprehend Authorities related to Equality and Exchange in hopes of improving the depth of her Equivalent Exchange’s scope.]
[Otherwise, if she didn’t, then her Equivalent Exchange’s usage would be similar to yours. After all, you already possessed her X-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent.]
[If you put it straightforwardly, Jade’s value no longer lies in her innate talent but in the fact that she could wield time, which you couldn’t.]
[But now, with her successful comprehension of those two Authorities, Jade could return to her business of exchanging items for others. Her usage of Equivalent Exchange had surpassed yours, which dissuaded you from using it over her.]
[Anyway, you never planned to replace Jade’s business. At most, it was just to acquire her innate talent so you could make use of it in the next doomsday life simulation.]
[You weren’t certain if you’d encounter Jade in the next doomsday life simulation. Even if you did, it wasn’t guaranteed that she’d awaken Equivalent Exchange again, just like how she didn’t awaken the same innate talent as her real-world self.]
[After all of you improved your bloodline ranks, you all proceeded to focus on improving your power rank to Peak Aether.]
[All of the Zenith Train Crew had achieved at least a minimum of 2% Authority in at least one Authority regardless of the Authority’s grade or quality, which solved the advancement requirement to Peak Aether rank.]
[Because of that, you all planned to reach Peak Aether rank before worrying about comprehending a 30.001% Principle.]
[With that plan in mind, you and the Zenith Train Crew continued the grind.]
[Eventually, approximately 6 months have passed.]
[It has been a year since the Train Conductor Era occurred for the Terran population.]
[During that year, the ten billion population of Terra had dwindled to a mere 10 million. However, that guaranteed that most of the ten million terrans were all decently powerful and competent.]
[From what you’ve discovered via Hint Prompt, the Terran Train Conductors were at Silver rank on average, with the powerhouses being at Platinum rank and a few at Diamond rank.]
[Compared to them, the Zenith Train Crew was truly an anomaly. Even the livestock raised by Old MacDonald on his ranch could wipe out those Terran Train Conductors.]
[Within those six months’ worth of development, the Zenith Train Crew had undoubtedly become stronger.]
[The Ether Fruit Tree was successfully raised to Peak Aether rank, allowing you to acquire a Peak Aether-grade Ether Fruit.]
[With it, you and the Zenith Train Crew successfully became Peak Aether rank powerhouses!]
[It should be known that even the first batch of Senior Train Conductors hasn’t reached Peak Aether rank yet. They were all stuck at Late Aether rank due to insufficient Authority, not meeting the advancement requirement.]
[Moreover, Aether Fruits were scarce resources. The stat attributes required to reach Peak Aether rank were enormous, let alone that the core train crewmates also had to improve their own power and not just the Train Conductor.]
[Not to mention, even if they managed to harvest a sustainable amount of Ether Fruits, there was also the issue of requiring 2% Authority.]
[The greatest advantage of the Zenith Train Crew over them was that you were lucky to transplant the Blood Fruit Tree. With it, you’ve successfully improved everyone’s bloodline with the Blood Fruit, directly improving their talent and comprehension.]
[Due to that, the Zenith Train Crew’s advancement to Peak Aether rank was smooth sailing!]
