Chapter 426: Almost The Second World Update

The peak powerhouses in Terra were only at Zombie Overlord and Evolver Overlord, not due to a lack of talent or resources, but merely the limits of the zombie virus itself.

However, the Apocalypse Principle that Zayne possessed was more than capable of letting the zombie virus evolve and advance further than its current limit.

Of course, Zayne wasn’t that interested in it, and he didn’t want to cause any unforeseen variables, especially when the Monthly Apocalypse World Update was this close.

He had already collected the zombie virus of this world and introduced it into a Modern World he had captured in the train survival universe before, isolating it inside that World Globe.

If he ever needed to advance his Evolver Path, he could just experiment safely in isolation without letting it affect the Main World. Anyway, that was the purpose of having those World Globes and the Creation Sovereignty.

He didn’t have to worry about running out of world globes to experiment on. The Creation Sovereignty allowed him to recreate a perfect copy of it.

In fact, the World Globes he usually used for Magnus, Cecilia, and his experiments were the copies created by his Creation Sovereignty. He had ensured that he’d kept the original version in the World Globe Display World Carriage untouched.

That way, if their experiments ever went wrong, Zayne could just use the original as a reference to create another copy using his Creation Sovereignty.

While Zayne was recalling the things he did yesterday, Jade, who was currently sitting beside him intimately, asked, "Darling, didn’t you plan to visit another Parallel World before the world update started?"

Hearing Jade’s inquiry, Zayne contemplated for a while before responding, "Well, about that, I am also hesitating."

Jade asked, "Why? You aren’t the type to hesitate. I rarely encounter you hesitating."

Zayne sighed, "Even if I were to visit another Parallel World now, it won’t substantially increase my power. At Celestial rank, the only way to increase my power is if I were to revisit the parallel universe of that train survival universe."

"But to be honest, I am not that interested in trying out that parallel world again. The resources of the train survival universe aren’t just enough for us to become a Divine rank powerhouse."

"If I were to stubbornly insist on becoming a Divine rank powerhouse, I’ll likely have to abandon the Train Conductor Path and comprehend my Apocalypse Principle into the Apocalypse Supremacy."

"Let alone whether there’s enough time to do that, I might have to defect to the Wild God Faction and cause my own apocalypse in the train survival universe. If I were to do that and abandon the Train Conductor Path, I wouldn’t have enough time to spend time with you, Scarlet, and the others."

"I don’t mind being reviled as a traitor, since it’s merely a parallel world. But for now, I’m not that interested, especially when we have sufficient power, and the situation isn’t urgent."

Hearing Zayne’s words, Jade commented, "But that’s not all, right? If it’s for darling’s sake, I wouldn’t mind if you break your promise and abandon me and the others in that parallel world."

"After all, the premise of our promise was that it didn’t hinder you from becoming stronger and that you’d have the luxury to spend that time. Just like in that Eternal Winter World, we have sufficient power to deal with the source of the apocalypse, so it’s fine if we spend most of our time making love with each other."

"But if it’s something that concerns your path to becoming a Divine rank powerhouse, I won’t mind if you don’t fulfill your promise, since becoming stronger is more important."

Receiving Jade’s response, Zayne clarified, "It’s indeed not just that. I at least am aware of what’s more important and what’s not. However, the biggest reason why I’m hesitant is that I at least wanted to experience the World Update before exploring another parallel world."

"I have to determine whether the next monthly apocalypse world update theme has a powerhouse I can’t defeat or not."

"Moreover, I also wanted to know more about what would happen during and after the World Update."

Listening to Zayne’s desire, Jade suggested, "How about we wait then? It’s only thirty minutes until the Apocalypse World Update."

"If I recall correctly, didn’t darling mention that your innate talent can stop time during the time you’re traveling in the parallel world? If that’s the case, then you can just use your innate talent immediately if you ever encounter an enemy that you couldn’t defeat."

"With our reaction time as a Celestial rank powerhouse and our combat power that far exceeds that, even a Half-Step Heaven rank powerhouse wouldn’t be able to kill us fast enough without at least allowing us to formulate a thought."

Hearing Jade’s suggestion, Zayne nodded in agreement, "That’s indeed plausible. I’ll do that."

Ultimately, Zayne was way too interested and curious about the upcoming World Update.

As Jade had mentioned, he still could stop time as a last resort.

But just to be certain, Zayne decided to communicate with his Doomsday Life Simulator System regarding that issue.

’System, can you activate the Doomsday Life Simulator when, in the next world update, that world has a powerhouse whose combat power is stronger than mine?’

’Moreover, can you set it so that before a second I’d encounter a life-threatening danger in the main world, you’ll activate the Doomsday Life Simulator so that I can temporarily avoid it?’

’The above situations shall consume three simulation chances each to activate the boosted simulation. But if it’s not possible due to a lack of simulation chances, use normal simulation instead.’

After Zayne commanded via his thoughts, the system soon responded.

[The host doesn’t have to worry about that. Actually, the defense mechanism of the system had already included that. The only difference is, your command ensured that I’d choose the boosted simulation instead of a normal simulation.]

[It is of my utmost priority that you do not die, so if you were to encounter fatal danger, I would have activated the Doomsday Life Simulation instinctively.]
