Chapter 307: The “Last Resort” That Leads To Another World In Another Universe
[After a white-colored light orb was extracted from the Star Devouring Monster, you transferred the extracted Adaptation Principle into a sapphire you’ve created with Gem Creation.]
[Already acquiring what you wanted, the Star Devouring Monster no longer has any value left, so you output more energy into your Star Picking Hand, causing the Death Touch to instantly disintegrate whatever fleshy body was left from the Star Devouring Monster into dust.]
[Seeing you easily kill the Star Devouring Monster, Jade pouted, "Darling, I haven’t even made a move yet! There’s no sense of participation."]
[You smiled in response, "There’s no point wasting our time with mere resources like this. If you really want to participate in a real fight, the upcoming Universal War against the Wild God Faction will surely satisfy you until you die."]
[Hearing you mention that impending end, Jade sighed, "I really just want to spend more time with you. Yet, there are Wild Gods who’ll ruin the peace we seek."]
["Even if we become stronger, there’s not much time left, and Celestial rank seems so distant. We’ve come this far, yet our enemies just became stronger and stronger."]
[You shrugged, "This is just a normal problem of holding more power. The weak remain ignorant of forces and threats beyond their power."]
["If it were when we were just Platinum rank Train Conductors, we could have chosen to just retire and live in ignorance, not knowing of the inevitable end of this universe."]
["But in the end, we decided to seek power just to have more security in this dangerous world. Yet, as we climb the power rankings, there’s always a powerhouse above us."]
[You sighed while adding, "I’ve already confirmed. Even if we become Celestial rank powerhouses, there’s still Wild Gods above Celestial rank blocking this universe, preventing us from escaping."]
["Who knows if there’s also Wild Gods above the rank above the Celestial rank? So, we should just live as we please until the end of this universe."]
[You assured Jade and your train crewmates who were listening at the side, "Trust me, I have a way to resurrect all of us and bring us to another world in another universe."]
["We all just have to do our best and make use of the remaining time we have left to become stronger. You can leave the rest to me in activating our escape route after we all die."]
[Hearing your assurance, while some of your train crewmates felt a bit skeptical, they still believed that you wouldn’t pointlessly lie to them about something as important as that.]
[Even so, Scarlet still couldn’t help but ask, "Do we really need to die? Can’t you just use your last resort plan now and take us out of here?"]
[Scarlet’s inquiry was normal. After all, if one were given the choice, who would want to die?]
[Although all of your train crewmates had already experienced death in the Training Ground World Carriage’s battle simulation, it was precisely that experience of death that they didn’t want to die.]
[They were delighted that you have a last resort, and it could even be used not only for yourself but for them as well. However, train crewmates like Scarlet still wanted to know whether the death could have been avoided.]
[Noticing your silence, Cecilia pointed out, "Is your escape route only activated when all of us die?"]
[Faced with Scarlet’s inquiry and Cecilia’s almost correct hypothesis, you helplessly nodded, "As Cecilia had pointed out, this method of mine can only be used when all of us die."]
["Or rather, it can only be used when I die. But to achieve a better effect and ensure this method is foolproof, I can’t die needlessly."]
["The more influence and impact I can exert in this universe, the greater the effect of my escape method. For this reason, I suggested everyone to participate in the Universal War against the Wild Gods."]
["If we kill a lot of Wild Gods and accumulate fame and influence, it will meet the requirement for improving my escape method’s efficacy."]
[You didn’t have any intentions of revealing that the entire world wasn’t reality but merely a simulation. Or perhaps, this world could be considered real, yet your death could turn everything into a mere simulation.]
[With your current power rank, you weren’t certain which was which.]
[All you knew was that the Doomsday Life Simulator System was powerful enough to ensure that Jade and your train crewmates wouldn’t lose their original selves when they were brought back to the real world.]
[Making up a reason for the simulation and explaining it now would allow you convenience later. After all, it would be too troublesome to explain it when you summon them to the real world.]
[Now that they were still alive, it was the best time to inform them about this "last resort" of yours. If you thought about it, the doomsday life simulation could indeed be reasoned out as "an escape method to bring the entire Zenith Train Crew to another world in another universe".]
[After all, unlike most life simulation systems that simulated the future and the end of it was similar to a time rewind or regression, your doomsday life simulator system was more like simulating doomsday scenarios or other worlds.]
[Due to this, the end of a doomsday life scenario wouldn’t feel like going back to the start by time regression. Instead, everyone would be summoned back to your real world Terra, and this would be treated as another world in another universe.]
[You weren’t certain with a lot of things, but what you were absolutely right about was that the universe where real-world Terra was located wasn’t related to the train survival world.]
[You’ve used every method you could, yet you couldn’t find the real world Terra in here.]
[With your current power, you had indeed managed to find the Terra where you, Jade, and the Terran Train Conductors originated from before you all were transmigrated to the Train Survival World.]
[However, that Terra wasn’t related to your real-world Terra. At most, it could be considered a parallel world in a parallel universe.]
