Chapter 332: Initial Celestial-grade Blood Fruits!
[You estimated that it wasn’t impossible to defeat Bes in a battle with your life on the line. However, the premise of that being possible was if Bes didn’t use Lifespan Burning Prodigal and other innate talents.]
[It was due to the advantage of the innate talents that Bes, despite having a low-grade Sovereignty, could still gain an advantage against most Initial Celestial rank powerhouses.]
[Only those with combat power at Mid Celestial rank could defeat Bes. Unfortunately for you, your full combat power with your life on the line could only yield a combat power at Initial Celestial rank.]
[The gap between False Celestial rank and Initial Celestial rank was just that great. Even throughout all history in this universe, an existence like yourself who possessed the means to cross-realm battle and defeat an Initial Celestial rank powerhouse at False Celestial rank was unprecedented.]
[After all, the insurmountable gap between False Celestial rank and Initial Celestial rank was a chasm that even the monstrous prodigies of the past had failed to cross.]
[It was to the point that you were confident that if all of your Principles, except for the Train Conductor Principle, were sublimated into Sovereignties and you advanced to Initial Celestial rank, defeating Mid Celestial rank powerhouses would not be that difficult.]
[In fact, even against a Late Celestial rank powerhouse, you were confident that your foundation at Initial Celestial rank would be enough to defeat them and kill them if you dared use Lifespan Burning Prodigal and exchanged your life with theirs using Second Life.]
[’In the end, what I need to prepare for is my advancement to Celestial rank. I’ve already become a Human Progenitor, which is arguably more important than the advancement to Celestial rank.’]
[’Now, I can start concentrating my efforts on advancement to Celestial rank. I only have a decade or so left before the Celestial rank Wild Gods are unsealed, so I have to achieve Celestial rank before then.’]
[Thinking of this, you shifted your gaze towards Bes.]
[With a wave of your hand, you created countless race progenitor-level blood and flesh. It didn’t come from just one race progenitor but multiple copies of each of the 139 Race Progenitors’ blood and flesh.]
[Bes immediately understood your intentions. They immediately used their Blood Sovereignty to absorb those race progenitor-level blood and used their roots to devour the flesh of those race progenitors.]
[Even when Bes became the undisputed strongest powerhouse in the universe, Bes had no intentions of betraying you and usurping your position as the Train Conductor.]
[After all, your Hint Prompt had proven to be never wrong. Moreover, your eye for people and your intuition were top-notch.]
[If Bes was someone not worthy of your trust, you would have erased their Blood Elf Spirit Form and sentience, even if that would greatly decrease their chances of advancing to Celestial rank.]
[You’d rather start over and attempt nurturing another Blood Fruit Free if the current one you had wasn’t worthy of trust.]
[After all, as a Blood Fruit Tree, Bes was actually replaceable since Old MacDonald could plant a new one with the seed you’ve created using a part of the Blood Fruit Tree.]
[Not to mention, Bes’s process for advancement to Celestial rank could be replicated.]
[The resources you’ve used were what mattered the most, and since those resources could be duplicated infinitely, then you actually had a near-infinite amount of time to keep attempting for a Celestial rank Blood Fruit Tree.]
[The only thing that stopped you was not the resources themselves but the time to nurture a new Blood Fruit Tree to Peak Starlight rank, then to Initial Celestial rank.]
[Since Bes was obedient and worthy of trust, you naturally no longer have to worry about that. It was also one of the reasons why you hadn’t promoted Bes to an official train crewmate until it was needed for their advancement to Initial Celestial rank.]
[Compared to your train crewmates who were unique and couldn’t be replicated, Bes was more replaceable than them. Fortunately, Bes had proven that even amongst Blood Fruit Trees, they’ve become someone you could trust, so their individuality still stood out amongst other Blood Fruit Trees.]
[As soon as Bes became an official train crewmate, you already treated them as an ally you could trust.]
[You were that simple. Anyone else would be treated as NPCs you could easily sacrifice, but those whom you’ve treated as someone worthy of trust were the only few you’ve treated as "real people".]
[While you were thinking of that, Bes had already used their main body, which was the Initial Celestial rank Blood Fruit Tree, to bear countless Blood Fruits.]
[Approximately 139 unique Initial Celestial-grade Blood Fruits were created. Aside from the 138 race progenitor-specific Blood Fruits like the Vampire Progenitor Blood Fruit, Wolf Progenitor Blood Fruit, etc., Bes had also borne the universal-use Initial Celestial-grade Blood Fruit.]
[After all, among your train crewmates, those with the mutated evolution paths like Old MacDonald and Scarlet couldn’t use the specific Blood Fruit related to their bloodline.]
[There’s also Morvane, who didn’t have a mutated evolution path, yet no one in the current era had an Angel of Death Bloodline at Race Progenitor-level.]
[For the three of them, they would have to consume the universal-use Initial Celestial-grade Blood Fruit to advance their bloodline to race progenitor-level.]
[With the successful nurturing of those hundreds of Blood Fruits, you didn’t hesitate to use the Star Picking Hand to pluck all of them from the Blood Fruit Tree’s branches.]
[After harvesting all of them, you didn’t hesitate to use the X-rank Death Touch innate talent to kill those Blood Fruits.]
[After all, while you could eat those specific-use Blood Fruits like the Wolf Progenitor Blood Fruit since it won’t affect your bloodline due to Genetic Sovereign, you were too lazy to eat more than a hundred blood fruits that wouldn’t benefit you in any way.]
[Since eating them wouldn’t benefit you, you could only use the other method of adding them to your food catalog, which was to "slay" the food or consumable you wanted to add into your food catalog.]
[With their successful addition to your food catalog, you used Unlimited Food Creation to create several copies of them before handing them to all of your train crewmates.]
[An hour later, everyone in the Zenith Train Crew finally became Race Progenitors!]
