[Scarlet and Old MacDonald’s bloodline weren’t pure and had a mutation. Due to this, they couldn’t use the blood fruit sacrificed from the Human Progenitor and Wolf Progenitor.]
[Although you could change their bloodline to the non-mutant version, you never did that since their bloodline’s mutation was a positive change.]
[For example, Old MacDonald’s fairy tale path allowed him to have better affinity and talent for his role as a rancher and farmer. As for Scarlet, her being a moon-attributed werewolf meant that she had a higher affinity and talent towards the comprehension of the Moon Principle.]
[You’ve also informed them that if they wanted to change their race to the non-mutant version, and it seemed that both Old MacDonald and Scarlet were more than satisfied with their mutated bloodline.]
[Having already given them the option, you no longer pursued that matter and respected their decision.]
[However, this did introduce the problem of the Human Progenitor Blood Fruit and the Wolf Progenitor Blood Fruit being unusable to them.]
[Faced with your words, Scarlet pointed out, "I don’t know if it applies to Morvane since it’s not related to his race, but for Old MacDonald and me, can’t you use your Order Principle, Wish Principle, and Boundary Principle to forcibly allow those blood fruits to work on us despite our bloodline being the mutated version?"]
[In response to Scarlet’s inquiry, you sighed and shook your head, "I naturally had thought of that. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work."]
["Actually, the biggest reason why we can’t pile up resources and even use my Boundary Principle to upgrade the Blood Fruit Tree is that the next major upgrade of the Blood Fruit corresponds to a progenitor-level bloodline."]
["Progenitor-level bloodline corresponds to Celestial rank. In other words, the normal upgrade path is to let the Blood Fruit Tree upgrade to Initial Celestial rank so that it could bear Initial Celestial-grade Blood Fruits."]
["Since this involved Celestial-grade, my Principles are insufficient to deal with it. I need at least the Order Sovereignty and Wish Sovereignty if I want to make it work."]
[After explaining that to Scarlet, you continued, "Hence, I decided to take the shortcut of hunting the progenitors of each race."]
["I would need the flesh and blood of Celestial rank powerhouses to upgrade the Blood Fruit Tree to Initial Celestial rank. Since that’s impossible, the second best method is to use progenitor-level bloodline as a sacrifice to the Blood Fruit Tree."]
["Fortunately, this universe might lack Celestial rank powerhouses, but it still has a considerable amount of race progenitors."]
["According to what I’ve discovered, the major races like the human race, dragon race, werewolf race, vampire race, elf race, dwarf race, spirit race, etc., have a Celestial rank powerhouse as their ancestor."]
["Due to this monumental achievement, the Universe Will had bestowed a benefit to those major races that have a Celestial rank powerhouse in their race’s history."]
["Any race that has a Celestial rank powerhouse as their ancestor will be deemed as a major race. All major races have the benefit of one quota where at least one progenitor-level existence will be born if there is none."]
["Those who can become race progenitors are mostly Celestial rank powerhouses. But even without advancing to Celestial rank, each major race can still have a progenitor."]
[Hearing your discovery, Jade and your train crewmates realized why the race progenitors existed in the current era despite the lack of Celestial-grade items and Celestial rank powerhouses.]
[While the Blood Fruit Tree was rare, it was impossible for those Starlight rank powerhouses who could easily traverse worlds and the sea of stars not to acquire a resource similar to it.]
[Due to this, only those bloodline purification and advancement resources at Celestial-grade, like the Initial Celestial-grade Blood Fruit, could allow powerhouses from a million years ago to become race progenitors.]
[But due to this universe being ruined and incomplete after the great war against the Wild Gods a million years ago, the environment wasn’t good enough to allow the existence of Celestial-grade items and resources to appear.]
[Not only this, the difficulty of comprehending Sovereignties and the advancement to Celestial rank had made rank advancement more despair-inducing.]
[Even if those powerhouses have Peak Starlight rank Blood Fruit Trees or any similar bloodline advancement resources, they no longer possess the means to upgrade to Initial Celestial rank.]
[Despite this, race progenitors still exist among the major races due to the benefit granted by the Universe Will.]
[With Hint Prompt, you’ve already discovered that the Universe Will had expended origin energy just to keep its word and continue handing out those benefits to the major races.]
[However, it didn’t have to use origin energy much since those race progenitors were all at Starlight rank and it was unlikely for them to die.]
[One of the other reasons why the Universe Will would also be hostile towards you if you kill the Dragon Progenitor, Human Progenitor, and other race progenitors was due to this reason.]
[If you killed them, the Universe Will, who didn’t have much origin energy left, would have to expend origin energy just to nurture another progenitor-level powerhouses in each major race.]
[’To be less targeted by the Universe Will, I should kill fewer race progenitors. However, killing race progenitors corresponding to the races of my train crewmates would lead to less backlash.’]
[’After all, if we were to become race progenitors, that would be equal to the major race already having a race progenitor. Even if it wasn’t the Universe Will that allowed us to become a race progenitor, it’s agreement regarding the benefits only specified that one race progenitor must exist among each of the major races.’]
[Knowing this, you and your train crewmates continued discussing the Race Progenitor Hunting Plan until it was finally polished and finalized.]
[In the end, all of you agreed to only hunt those Race Progenitors when everyone on the Zenith Train Crew becomes a Half-Step Celestial rank powerhouses.]
[After the Race Progenitor Hunting Plan was finalized, time flew by.]
[As time passed, it was already the 90th year since the advent of the Terran Train Conductor Era.]
