Chapter 292: Giving Up On This Train Survival Universe
[It wasn’t your intention to have such a recruitment requirement, but you realized that you subconsciously chose such train crewmates.]
[For example, Scarlet was betrayed and left her station world, Old MacDonald didn’t belong to any faction and was in semi-retirement, Morvane left the Angels of Death Clan, etc.]
[Astraea also was neglected by the Dravenhart Clan, and it was only with your assistance that she secured the absolute victory for the Millennium Vampire War. Naturally, she didn’t plan to associate with the Dravenhart Clan and completely cut off ties with them.]
[Even the newly recruited Magnus and Cecilia were always used as a scapegoat by the higher-ups in their world, blaming the mistakes the higher-ups made on them.]
[Because of this, they were long dissatisfied and had already planned to leave, which allowed you to take advantage of the higher-ups’ stupidity to recruit such talents into your Zenith Train Crew.]
[Except for Astraea’s world that had the schemes of the Vampire Progenitor behind it, the station worlds where all your train crewmates were from were already turned into World Globes by you.]
[In other words, with the sole exception of Astraea, everyone on the Zenith Train Crew could visit their home world since they were all displayed in the World Globe Display World Carriage.]
[Even if they didn’t plan to return to their home world, just the fact that their home world was in the Zenith Train would put them at ease. The survival of the Zenith Train Crew would be their utmost priority, whether it was for themselves or for the sake of their home worlds.]
[But for those False Celestial rank and Half-Step Celestial rank powerhouses, they have their race or clan behind them.]
[Since you were going with the elite crew route, you didn’t want to invite countless people into the Zenith Train Crew.]
[The only exception would be if they were willing to transform their world into a World Globe, but even so, you still couldn’t trust them since they lived for millions of years.]
[’Even if I invite them to the Zenith Train Crew, they wouldn’t hold any sense of belonging to it. After all, even if they spent tens of years in the Zenith Train Crew, it was nothing but a drop in the ocean when compared to the millions of years they spent in their own faction.’]
[’If I didn’t plan to bring the Zenith Train Crew into the real world, this might not matter much.’]
[’But since I can bring the entire Zenith Train Crew to the real world to assist Jade and me, I can’t let those people who don’t have any sense of belonging to the Zenith Train Crew join my crew.’]
[’Releasing powerful existences that could easily destroy stars and planets would be too dangerous for the real-world Terra. And since they’re stronger than me, I also can’t control them.’]
[’Even if I could, just the fact that they might not be completely convinced of me as the Train Conductor would mean that they would do whatever they want without regarding my orders.’]
[If this were truly the world you were in, you wouldn’t mind allowing them to use the Train Conductor Principle to gain a comprehension boost so that they could step into Celestial rank and fight against the Wild God Faction.]
[Unfortunately, this was merely a doomsday life simulation. For you, it wasn’t a problem to give up on this world and just try out again in the next doomsday life simulation.]
[The current power you possessed as an Initial Starlight rank powerhouse was enough for you to protect yourself and Jade in the real world. Because of that, you weren’t too obsessed with acquiring a Sovereignty and becoming a Celestial rank powerhouse.]
[’The gains I’ve had in this second doomsday life simulation are already enough to strike it rich. I can’t be too greedy and should at least prepare for the next doomsday life simulation.’]
[’Anyway, it won’t be too late to return to this doomsday life scenario when I obtain enough simulation talents or comprehension-based abilities to brute force my way to Celestial rank.’]
[You knew that while the end of this universe would be the end for them, for you, it was merely the end of a doomsday life simulation.]
[You had the luxury to keep on trying again, even if you die in this simulation.]
[While you couldn’t retain your power even if you chose the Two-Person Extreme Train Survival doomsday scenario again, the resources you’ve saved were enough to allow you to step into Starlight rank again in a short amount of time.]
[’It seems I have to continue my plan of acquiring unique resources and consumables. When I become powerful enough, it won’t be too late to solve the doomsday scenario of this universe.’]
[’Even I don’t know what simulation rewards I’ll receive for solving a doomsday scenario. Of course, that’s assuming there’s a special reward for solving it.’]
[’But for now, my best course of action is to prepare for the next doomsday life simulation.’]
[However, before doing that, you decided to use the points the Zenith Train Crew acquired from slaying Wild Gods to have the World Will answer your questions.]
[The items that the World Will could give to you were things you could easily acquire for yourself. Those that you couldn’t, the points you have weren’t enough to exchange for it.]
[Since you didn’t plan to save this universe, you merely wanted to acquire more information so you wouldn’t be too ignorant of this universe when you attempt to solve this doomsday scenario again.]
["World Will, what are your plans for this universe? From what I know, those Wild Gods would soon awaken from this slumber."]
["According to my hypothesis..."]
[You listed out everything you’ve hypothesized, whether it was the possible use of the Train Conductor Principle in allowing False Celestial rank powerhouses in advancing to Celestial rank, or the existence of Train Conductors to delay the Wild Gods’ invasion.]
[You knew that your points weren’t enough to discover the reason behind the inability to sublimate Principles into Sovereignties and achieve Celestial rank, so you merely wanted the World Will to confirm whether your hypothesis was correct or not.]
