[After you reached Late Mythril rank, you possessed a true combat power of Peak Mythril rank and could perform much better use of your World Order and Absolute Boundary.]
[Due to that, you manage to improve the Blood Fruit Tree and allow it to reach Peak Mythril rank despite only feeding it with the blood and flesh of Late Mythril rank powerhouses.]
[After eating the Peak Mythril-grade Blood Fruit, your human bloodline had improved in quality and purity, even improving your talent, potential, luck, and innate abilities like Perfect Memory and Adaptive Evolution.]
[However, you and Jade hadn’t evolved to Ancient Humans yet. At most, you’ve both reached the upper stages of the Arch Human bloodline rank. It hasn’t reached the peak yet, let alone reach the threshold to evolve to a higher bloodline rank.]
[’Compared to before, it’s a lot more difficult to evolve our bloodline rank. If I didn’t have the foresight of transplanting the Blood Fruit Tree and growing it on our own, the difficulty of evolving to higher bloodline ranks would be way greater.’]
[’After all, it’s too unreliable to wait until the upcoming station worlds possess the means to evolve bloodline. Moreover, if it wasn’t for Old MacDonald and Astraea assisting me in evolving the Blood Fruit Tree to Peak Mythril rank, this would have taken way longer to gain a Peak Mythril-grade Blood Fruit.’]
[’From what my Hint Prompt had estimated, it would take Peak Titan-grade Blood Fruit to have the chance to evolve into an Ancient Human. If Jade and I were unlucky and weren’t that gifted, it might even take an Initial Aether-grade Blood Fruit.’]
[Despite those problems, you weren’t worried since it had only been almost two months since the Two-Person Train Survival Era had occurred for the Terrans.]
[Yet, Jade and your Zenith Train Crew had already reached an overall combat power of Peak Mythril rank, standing above the rest of the Terran Train Conductors.]
[Upon further investigation, you had discovered that the strongest Terran Train Conductor that the Hint Prompt had found was only at Mid Platinum rank.]
[That Mid Platinum rank Terran Train Conductor possessed an SSS-rank innate talent called "All Stars Aligned".]
[As its name suggested, SSS-rank All Stars Aligned allowed the Terran Train Conductor to encounter perfectly favorable conditions, becoming extremely lucky.]
[It’s both an active innate talent and a passive one. The passive version would make him extremely lucky. As for the active one, it’s like a boost of the passive version, further ensuring that everything would align to his favor as if the universe is conspiring to make him "win".]
[’Too bad, I couldn’t even conspire against him. As soon as I saw that innate talent, I had already decided that I’ll take that innate talent for myself.’]
[’However, even the entire scheming plan concocted by the entire Zenith Train Crew couldn’t fool him.’]
[’Even Hint Prompt had shown that due to the passive effects of All Stars Aligned, it will assist the Terran Train Conductor in avoiding our schemes that are harmful to him in the form of intuition and danger sense.’]
[’Because of that, even when I resorted to lending him Initial Crystal-grade Crystal Gem Fruits and even Initial Crystal-grade Blood Fruits, he still refused to take such a loan.’]
[You felt quite helpless since if that person you were targeting was greedy, the Loan Shark’s Ledger would have screwed him over easily.]
[Due to upgrading it with the Endless Growth trait, the Loan Shark’s Ledger had become a soul-bound artifact of yours, and like Jade’s Unseen Blade, it could grow alongside your power rank.]
[Due to that, your Loan Shark’s Ledger was already at Late Mythril-grade, capable of forcing upon higher interest rates and even placing everything the debtor has as collateral.]
[Before, what you could place as collateral was limited to one or a few valuable things. But now, you could force your debtor to place everything they have, whether it’s their autonomy, soul, body, lifespan, talent, luck, etc., as collateral.]
[Of course, even that wasn’t without its limits. At least, you couldn’t force them to put everything as collateral if the value of the item you lent to them wasn’t equal to or greater in value.]
[Aside from that improvement, your Loan Shark’s Ledger could also materialize physical copies and lend those copies to proxies who’ll handle the paperwork for those debts in your stead.]
[Because of that, you could lend a copy of the Loan Shark’s Ledger to Jade and let her deal with it while you were busy with the Crystal Gem Tree and Blood Fruit Tree.]
[You still found it was a shame that you couldn’t fool that Terran Train Conductor into taking loans from you.]
[However, due to Jade’s aggressive promotion of your Zenith Train Crew Loan Services, you were still able to gain something and entice some Terran Train Conductors with SS-rank and even SSS-rank innate talents to accept your loans.]
[The biggest reason why it was so easy to fool them now was due to one of the abilities unlocked by your Loan Shark’s Ledger. Before, it required the two parties to sign a contract.]
[Such a requirement would show a flow as the contract would contain the clauses regarding the collaterals and whatnot. Due to that, those who weren’t blinded with greed could still refuse it and wouldn’t be fooled into placing their innate talents and lifespan as collateral.]
[But with that new ability of your Loan Shark’s Ledger, you could let their name be added into the Ledger as long as two conditions were met.]
[The first condition required them to accept that they’ve taken a loan from you. Whether it’s verbal, written, or any form of communication, as long as its intent was acceptance, then the first condition will be met.]
[The second condition required them to receive the item or service you’ve loaned to them.]
[As long as those two conditions were met, then even if they hadn’t signed a contract, they would be unable to renegade on the debt they’ve put themselves into as long as their power rank hasn’t exceeded the item grade of the Loan Shark’s Ledger.]
[’Even if I haven’t tricked that Terran with the SSS-rank All Stars Aligned innate talent, the others will do. They might not possess an innate talent as great as that lucky bastard, but it’s still at SSS-rank or SS-rank.’]
[’No matter what, even if Jade or I wouldn’t use them, I can give them to the rest of my train crewmates.’]
[’Anyway, if I ever encounter that lucky bastard in a multiplayer-type station, I’ll surely deal with him and extract his innate talent via World Order.’]
[’Even if that lucky bastard has passive luck that would allow him to avoid certain death stations, it’s not like Jade and I didn’t possess great luck as Arch Humans.’]
[’As long as that guy doesn’t actively use All Stars Aligned to avoid our pursuit, the combined luck of Jade and mine will ensure that we’ll encounter him in a multiplayer-type station world.’]
[Thinking of this, you no longer cared about him, as what you laid your eyes on would eventually become yours. Unlike in the previous Doomsday Life Simulation, you were now lucky due to being an Arch Human.]
[If you wanted to, you could easily win the lottery or get the SSR character in a gacha game in just one draw, without having to wait for the pity system to save your ass.]
[Because of that, you weren’t worried that you wouldn’t be able to acquire the innate talent crystal of that lucky bastard.]
[Moreover, during the past few weeks of station exploration, although you and Old MacDonald didn’t participate in it while Jade barely participated, the rest of the train crew still explored it seriously.]
[In one of their station explorations, they’ve acquired a liquid called Divine Soul Essence that allows the consumer to either increase their Spirit attribute, or upgrade an existing soul-attributed skill or innate ability.]
[Using the Divine Soul Essence, which was at Peak Mythril-grade, you managed to upgrade your Order King’s spirit avatar grade to Peak Mythril-grade.]
[After being upgraded to Peak Mythril-grade, it naturally unlocked two more spirit avatar abilities on top of upgrading existing ones.]
[According to Hint Prompt, the sixth spirit avatar ability could only be awakened when the Spirit Avatar reached Initial Aether-grade, so upgrading to Titan-grade would at most strengthen its existing spirit avatar abilities.]
[The new spirit avatar abilities you’ve acquired were King’s Decree and Execution.]
{King’s Decree: Within the Order King’s domain, any rule established through the World Order may be elevated into an absolute decree for a short duration. During this period, the chosen rule cannot be resisted, bypassed, nullified, or ignored by anyone beneath or even above Order King’s rank.
Moreover, unlike the World Order that equally restricts everyone, the King and his subjects have law immunity to a World Order elevated into an absolute decree.}
[Unlike the normal World Order, which people may resist through power, loopholes, or energy expenditure, the King’s Decree temporarily upgrades a rule into absolute law.]
