Chapter 344: Sword Wielder Path, Null Existence Path, And World Forge Path (2)
[The Void wasn’t part of the physical universe. Neither was it another dimension.]
[It was the endless nothingness separating galaxies, universes, dimensions, and even countless unknown realities.]
[It was a place where almost no living being could survive. Likewise, almost no living being would willingly venture into it.]
[The Void that your Zenith Train could travel through via Void Parking Space and All Traversal train ability was merely the surface void. Most powerhouses could travel through the surface void and even survive through it with their physical body.]
[There were many layers within the void, and the deeper the layer, the more chaotic and perilous it was even to powerful powerhouses.]
[Yet, after obtaining the Void Navigation train sub-system, the Zenith Train would be capable of entering the Deep Void and traveling through it.]
[Not only could it use the Deep Void as a shortcut to travel between galaxies, but it could also remain hidden within the Deep Void itself.]
[Combined with the Null Existence Path’s terrifying concealment capabilities, the Zenith Train would become even more difficult to locate.]
[Even if a Type 4 Civilization mobilized its entire civilization to search for the Zenith Train...]
[Even if they searched every galaxy, every world, every dimension, and every layer of Reality...]
[As long as the Zenith Train remained hidden within the Void while erasing its existence from Reality’s records, the probability of discovering it would be infinitesimally close to zero.]
[It wasn’t because a Type 4 Civilization lacked the capability.]
[Rather, they first had to prove that the Zenith Train existed somewhere they could observe.]
[Otherwise, searching for the Zenith Train would be no different from searching for a shadow that Reality itself refused to acknowledge.]
[To you, who had always believed that surviving was the prerequisite to becoming the strongest, this train upgrade path wasn’t merely appealing.]
[It was almost tailor-made for you.]
[The Null Record Concept combined with Void Navigation would allow the Zenith Train to be nearly impossible to be locatable by a Type 4 Civilization or a powerhouse above Divine rank.]
[As for those Type 3 Civilizations and Divine rank powerhouses, they wouldn’t be a problem as long as Zenith Train used the Null Record Concept to eliminate the existence traces of the Zenith Train Crew from reality.]
[’Unfortunately, the traces of the Zenith Train Crew in this reality, while not as many due to our secrecy, had still become a considerable amount due to the Race Progenitor Hunting Plan.’]
[’According to Hint Prompt, even if I were to use Null Record Concept, I wouldn’t be able to escape from the Divine rank Wild Gods outside unless we never showed up to deal with the Celestial rank Wild Gods.’]
[Thinking of this, you knew that you couldn’t do that. Although you didn’t have much bottom line, you weren’t someone who’d go back on your word.]
[Having already established a deal with the Universe Will, it was in your best interest to eliminate those Celestial rank Wild Gods.]
[Not only was it for the sake of honoring your words, but it was also to increase your simulation score.]
[You knew that you likely had a lot of rewards to redeem from this Doomsday Life Simulation, especially when you had lived for this long.]
[If the simulation scores were insufficient, then no matter how much you acquired and how much time you had delayed in this simulation, you could only look at those simulation rewards but were unable to get all of them.]
[’In the end, even if I can choose to abandon this universe, my simulation score might not be enough. Even if we were to hide ourselves in the deep void and use the Null Record Concept, there wouldn’t be any point if I couldn’t redeem those rewards.’]
[’Not to mention, if those Divine rank Wild Gods were to transform this universe into something suitable for the Wild Gods’ inhabitation, the Universal Laws of this universe might become more incomplete or even distorted.’]
[’At that point, even if we wanted to comprehend our Sovereignties, we might dare not to, or else it would be no laughing matter if our comprehension of that Universal Law was incorrect or had hidden dangers.’]
[Not all Wild Gods comprehended their universe’s Universal Law.]
[Some of those Starlight rank and Aether rank Wild Gods that were sealed before had attained their power rank based on this universe’s universal law. This meant that any powerhouse from this universe could extract their Authority or Principle and there wouldn’t be any problems whatsoever.]
[As for the vast majority of sealed Celestial rank Wild Gods, they had comprehended their Sovereignties based on another universe. Some of those universes might not have been based on the Wild God’s universe, so they weren’t problematic and could still be used as a reference.]
[But for those Sovereignties that were comprehended from a distorted universal law, you and your train crewmates dared not comprehend them.]
[It was for this reason that a Celestial rank Wild God who possessed the Blood Sovereignty didn’t occupy the law fragments of the Universal Law of Blood. Due to this, the Vampire Progenitor could advance to Peak Starlight rank using the Universal Law of Blood without any hindrance.]
[You weren’t certain if the Sovereignties you comprehended in this doomsday life simulation were treated as from another universe in your real world’s universe.]
[Nevertheless, it proved that regardless of choosing the Null Existence Path, you and the Zenith Train Crew must die in this Universe War against the Wild Gods.]
[’As for the World Forge Path, it’s quite similar to what my Creation Principle could achieve. The only difference is that the World Forge Path’s Genesis Forge is much superior to my Creation Principle when it came to creating worlds.’]
[’According to Hint Prompt, when it comes to creating worlds, it’s at least comparable to a Creation Supremacy that Divine rank powerhouses possessed’]
[Even Divine rank powerhouses found it difficult to comprehend the Creation Sovereignty that corresponded to Celestial rank, let alone the Creation Supremacy.]
[If you didn’t possess the doomsday life simulation, you might be tempted to choose the World Forge path. However, the doomsday life simulation was more than enough to improve your power and grant you resources from other worlds and universes.]
[Moreover, the Ten Thousand World Globes you currently possessed in the World Globe Display World Carriage were more than enough to fulfill your needs in resources from other worlds.]
[’Although I’m tempted to choose the Null Existence Path now, I’ll see what opinion Jade and my train crewmates have on the three train upgrade paths.’]
[’Since they’re part of the Zenith Train Crew, it’s only right that they get a say in the major decisions regarding the Zenith Train Crew.’]
[Thinking of this, you started informing Jade and the others about the three train upgrade paths that you’ve encountered.]
[Before, you rarely asked for their input, considering that the train upgrade paths you chose were mainly those that could improve the size of the train carriages’ interior. Now that there were diverging train upgrade paths, you decided to ask for the opinion of your train crewmates.]
[Faced with the three train upgrade paths, Jade and the others immediately chose what they believed would greatly benefit the Zenith Train Crew.]
[Magnus stated his opinion, "When it comes to the best train upgrade path among those three, the Sword Wielder Path is the best choice."]
["Aside from the Technological Explosion train sub-system that is important for Cecilia and my scientific research, there’s also the Ultimate Deterrence brought by the Sword of Damocles."]
["While it can only be used once, if we play our cards right, we might not have to use it as long as we can convince our enemies that we dared to use it if they eliminate us."]
["Moreover, as long as the Sword of Damocles isn’t used, the Conductor can still transform the Zenith Train into a sword that would be useful as a Celestial-grade or even Divine-grade weapon artifact."]
[Cecilia backed up Magnus’s claims as she commented, "The machine life I created can assist me in scientific research and has even formed a civilization. The buffs they could receive from the additional perks and train sub-system of the Sword Wielder Path are highly needed."]
[After Magnus and Cecilia stated their opinion, Old MacDonald said, "The Zenith Train is an important home for all of us. This old man doesn’t want to lose his only home."]
["The Sword of Damocles, while truly powerful, would cause us to lose our only home, and I believe that’s a huge price to pay."]
["If we were to choose the Null Existence Path, not only can we keep our home, we’ll also be able to safely retire without having to worry about external threats discovering us."]
[Scarlet backed up Old MacDonald’s claims, "I also only have the Zenith Train as my home, and I don’t want to lose it. Rather than having the possibility of eliminating a Type 3 Civilization, I’d rather we just hide ourselves and never make such enemies until we’re powerful enough."]
