[The resources of the universe would be greatly depleted if it were used for quickly increasing the power of more than twenty thousand Train Conductors to Aether rank.]
[After all, resources were finite, and Aether rank powerhouses might seem like ants when compared to Starlight rank powerhouses, but Aether rank powerhouses were already the mainstay powerhouses of most powerhouses.]
[To truly traverse the galaxies, one must at least be an Aether rank powerhouse. They alone represent the combat power of an entire world.]
[As for those Starlight rank powerhouses, they were mostly ancient existences and race progenitor-level existences. It was only due to your Zenith Train Crew keeping on hunting them that they started popping out from their lairs.]
[Aside from your interference, it was also due to the Wild God Faction slowly escaping from their seal. Otherwise, if it were a hundred years ago, Starlight rank powerhouses would be nearly impossible to encounter.]
[According to the World Will’s estimates, if not for your interference, it would take a thousand more years before there’d be enough Aether rank Train Conductors to plunder Train Conductor Authority from in order to sublimate it into the Train Conductor Principle.]
[After all, while the Universe Will had favored the Train Conductor Faction as the newest rising star faction, not all of the universe’s resources would be tilted towards the Train Conductor Faction.]
[It was only due to your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) being way too heaven-defying, possessing the ability to create consumable resources and food without energy consumption.]
[Coupled with Jade’s X-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent, Equality Principle, and Exchange Principle, the resources you possessed were infinite.]
[If not for the lack of time, you were even confident in being able to raise enough Aether rank Train Conductors to sublimate your Train Conductor Principle into a Sovereignty.]
[’Unfortunately, there isn’t enough time. The Zenith Train Crew had already encountered more Aether rank Wild Gods running rampant in the surrounding star systems.’]
[’The annoying part about those Wild Gods is that they could create countless avatars and use them to invade and occupy other worlds. If not for my high power rank and the Absolute Compass, I would have a hard time tracking their main body.’]
[’However, even so, most Wild Gods a few decades ago were only at Mythril rank and below. Even those at the Titan rank were rare to encounter. It was only due to specifically targeting Aether rank and Starlight rank Wild Gods that the Zenith Train Crew encountered them.’]
[After all, if Wild Gods were that common, you would have encountered their avatars in almost every station world.]
[Yet, the only time you’ve encountered a Wild God when you were still a newbie Train Conductor was in the Red Riding Hood Station. Even that Wild God wasn’t the main body but merely an avatar.]
[It was only around the 30th year that the Titan rank Wild Gods became more common. But now, in this 60th year, Aether rank Wild Gods had broken from their seals and run rampant in the universe.]
[You had asked the World Will and received a reply that the Universe Will had lifted the seal of those Aether rank Wild Gods to focus on suppressing and sealing those at Starlight rank and Celestial rank.]
[According to the World Will’s estimation, the seal and suppression of those Starlight rank Wild Gods would likely be lifted two decades from now, which would be the 80th year.]
[You believed that when that happened, those aloof Starlight rank powerhouses from the Station World Native Powerhouse Faction would have no choice but to come out of seclusion and battle those Starlight rank Wild Gods.]
[Of course, it wasn’t only your Zenith Train Crew that had been hunting those Wild Gods. The Native Powerhouse Faction had already known about the Wild God’s Invasion, so some of their powerhouses had already started dealing with those Aether rank Wild Gods.]
[Even so, there weren’t that many Starlight rank powerhouses who made a move. Whether they made a move or not, you didn’t care much since the universe was already on a countdown.]
[Even if they all assisted you in eliminating those Aether rank Wild Gods and Starlight rank Wild Gods, it would only delay the inevitable since no one could kill a Celestial rank powerhouse.]
[However, that was the least of your worries. You were already satisfied that the time was enough to sublimate your Train Conductor Authority into the Train Conductor Principle.]
[Your Train Conductor Principle was currently at 30.076% law fragment ownership.]
[With the Train Conductor Principle, you’ve acquired the ability to travel between star systems instantly.]
[Although the pure travel speed of the Zenith Train hasn’t changed, the Train Conductor Principle could still allow you to warp space and directly teleport the Train from one star system to another.]
[You didn’t want to neglect the development of your status as a Train Conductor. After all, one of the unique resources of this world was the Train Conductor Authority/Principle and bound train.]
[Possessing the Train Conductor Principle, you no longer have to worry about transportation in the real world. Although the speed of light was fast, it was nothing when compared to how vast the galaxy and universe were.]
[With the Train Conductor Principle, you no longer have to rely on the Zenith Train’s pure travel speed and could just teleport it or open up portals, which would be way faster than speed of light travel.]
[The real world’s area might still be small, and even you could easily circle the world. However, it would likely change and even become larger after the second apocalypse world update.]
[It was better for you to be prepared for that. Not to mention, you’ve also taken into account the environment of an apocalyptic world, which was the reason why you didn’t neglect building homes for you and the others inside the train carriages.]
[Even if something as absurd as the "Dual Planet Collision" or "Helios Extinction Event" doomsday scenarios become the second apocalypse world update theme, you’ve ensured that you could deal with that.]
