Chapter 290: Thirtieth Year, The Rank Above Starlight
[Starlight rank powerhouses could comprehend Authorities a lot faster than Aether rank powerhouses. Due to their life level and soul advancing after reaching Starlight rank, their comprehension speed was naturally greater than Aether rank powerhouses.]
[It was for this reason that you decided to wait until becoming an Initial Starlight rank powerhouse before mastering more Authorities.]
[With this plan in mind, you decisively initiated it, comprehending the Wish Authority and Luck Authority.]
[In the 30th year, your Luck Authority reached 25.764% after years of comprehension and slaying an Initial Starlight rank Wild God who comprehended the Luck Principle.]
[As an Ancient Human, your luck was great. Not to mention, you’ve also used the Shark Loan’s Ledger to put the luck and lifespan of your debtors as collateral until you’ve eventually acquired them for yourself.]
[During the past few years, Scarlet and Astraea had attained Starlight rank. Scarlet had comprehended the Wolf Principle while Astraea comprehended the Divination Principle.]
[With this, everyone in the Zenith Train Crew successfully advanced to Initial Starlight rank.]
[With the overall combat power of the Zenith Train Crew, even a Late Starlight rank powerhouse would have avoided your edge.]
[As for Peak Starlight rank powerhouses, they were still unattainable existences, and the best you could guarantee was escaping with your lives.]
[Of course, you and the others didn’t forget to improve your combat and fighting experience. Although each hunt against Wild Gods would result in you all teaming up to besiege one of them, it wasn’t just to acquire Principles and Authorities.]
[The Training Ground World Carriage allowed you and the others to fight anyone that you’ve all encountered or defeated.]
[The battle would be held in a virtual simulation, so dying in it wouldn’t cause real death.]
[Old MacDonald had used this carriage’s feature to fight against the Goddess of Plants by himself.]
[After all, your first encounter with the Goddess of Plants resulted in everyone teaming up to slay her. It was too fast that everyone didn’t gain any combat experience.]
[Using the virtual battle simulation feature, you and the others fought against Starlight rank Wild Gods that you’ve all encountered and defeated.]
[Aside from solo battles, you all also participated in team battles to further enhance your cooperation and tacit agreement.]
[Not to mention, you also used this feature to allow yourself to fight against a hundred Initial Starlight rank Wild Gods at once. Even when besieged by them, you confirmed that you could indeed defeat and eliminate that many Wild Gods at once.]
[Although the more Wild Gods there were, the more Principles you had to deal with.]
[If it were purely 1 vs 100, even if you’d win, you’d have to consume Starlight Berries from time to time in order to replenish your energy. It also took you a lot of time to eliminate them.]
[But if you were to use the Multiplication Principle, you could easily deal with them in under a minute after multiplying yourself by a hundred times.]
[Due to your Multiplication Principle, as long as you had enough Starlight Berries to replenish your energy, the number of Initial Starlight rank powerhouses besieging you wouldn’t matter.]
[You were already a one-man army.]
[As long as you reached a sufficient power rank, you were confident that no matter how many Wild Gods there were, as long as they were weaker than you, they wouldn’t be able to pose any threat.]
[Even so, that was limited only to Starlight rank Wild Gods. You already knew that the power rank above Starlight rank was none other than Celestial rank.]
[Just like how Starlight rank powerhouses could easily defeat those at Aether rank, the gap between Starlight rank and Celestial rank was the same, or even greater.]
[If Starlight rank powerhouses were defined by their 30.001% Principle, then Celestial rank powerhouses possessed 60.001% Sovereignty.]
[Celestial rank powerhouses who possessed a Sovereignty could dominate an entire star system with it.]
[With the existence of Sovereignty, a Celestial rank powerhouse becomes one of the primary rulers of the law. Their will heavily influences how the law manifests.]
[Because of that, Celestial rank powerhouses were titled as "Law Sovereigns". They rule over the law of which their Sovereignty represented.]
[For example, the Space Sovereignty possessed by a Space Sovereign ensured that within the range of an entire star system or possibly more, no one was better than them in the Universal Law of Space.]
[After all, unlike Principles that had a minimum law fragment ownership of 30.001%, Sovereignties literally have a minimum law fragment ownership of 60.001%.]
[In other words, if the universe were a huge conglomerate, Law Sovereigns were the major shareholder of that universal law. Because of this, they could override anyone related to that Sovereignty.]
[No one could go against a Law Sovereign, especially when they’re using a Principle or Authority related to that Law Sovereign’s Sovereignty.]
[The Space Law Sovereign, using their Space Sovereignty, could easily control anything related to space. Against a Starlight rank powerhouse with the Space Principle, the Starlight rank powerhouse wouldn’t even be able to exert any phenomena related to space.]
[The gap between Principles and Sovereignties was that large. Although Authorities were suppressed by Principles, it wasn’t to this extent.]
[’It was due to this gap that no one had ever stepped into the Celestial rank. From what I’ve discovered, most of the peak powerhouses of this universe only have Peak Starlight power rank.’]
[’Aside from that, there are only a few Half-Step Celestial rank powerhouses and only two False Celestial rank powerhouses.’]
[’To become a Half-Step Celestial rank, one needs to possess 58.001% Principle.’]
[’Although Half-Step Celestial rank powerhouses have already achieved majority ownership of law fragments related to their Principle, it was still merely a Principle.’]
[’The suppression of 58.001% Principle isn’t that huge. At least, other Peak Starlight rank powerhouses possessing a Principle of higher grade but lower law fragment ownership could still contend with them.’]
[’As for False Celestial rank powerhouses, they possess 60% Principle!’]
[’They were existences that are just 0.001% law fragment ownership away from sublimating their Principle to a Sovereignty. Yet, it was this gap that separated them from a true Celestial rank powerhouse.’]
