Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Ye Qiyan rubbed his forehead, subconsciously pulling out the Anchor to take a look.

Mm, the Anchor was fine and usable, meaning he wasn't dreaming.

"Hey, aren't you going a bit too far? I only have a little over a thousand Train Coins in my hand, and you straight-up give me a twenty-one hundred upgrade option? Where am I supposed to find the remaining eleven hundred? Are you broken?"

Ye Qiyan grumbled about the System's greed. Before, it was only an extra two or three hundred at most, but now it was a full thousand more.

He didn't even have that kind of money, did he?

It wasn't like he could just sell off the stuff he'd Sublimated, was it?

[Ding-dong, you do have it]

"Where do I have it?"

[You do]

Lisette gently massaged Ye Qiyan's shoulders, and he finally calmed down enough to think carefully.

The System was ridiculous, but not to the point of being this absurd.

If it said he had it, then he probably really did. And it wasn't something he could use, just something meant to be sold.

That would be...

"Could it be those two things?"

[Jade · Life-Span Toad (Level 8)] ×2

[Made from the God Designation—A-7—Life. Can be used to increase any being's lifespan by 200 years]

"These two things can sell for 1,100 Train Coins?"

The System didn't respond.

Ye Qiyan thought for a moment, then simply opened the black market and contacted that customer service lady named Ailei again.

He requested a price appraisal for these two identical items on the black market.

["Oh? Esteemed member, you actually managed to get your hands on this kind of lifespan item? How rare."]

Ailei's words made Ye Qiyan raise an eyebrow.

"How many Train Coins is this thing worth?"

["Mm... how should I put this? Normally speaking, this item isn't worth much, after all, Train Conductors in the Wasteland don't suffer from lifespan issues.

But some people hide out in high-time-flow Station Worlds and don't dare step into the Wasteland, so they still have the attribute of lifespan. Even though they can live for a very, very long time, there will always be some who live so long that they start to fear when their time is almost up.

Those kinds of people are terrified of death.

So, items like this that can extend lifespan, even if their level isn't high, are considered quite expensive.

The black market buyback price is 530 Train Coins each. Two of them total 1,060 coins."]

"..."

Ye Qiyan pressed his forehead in speechless frustration. After a long moment, he suddenly felt like laughing.

"Ha..."

["Member?"]

"Sell them."

["Understood."]

The two toads were taken by the black market. Without that 5% handling fee, the full 1,100 Train Coins appeared in front of Ye Qiyan.

"So you even factored in the handling fee, huh."

2,105—that was the total of his Train Coins now, since it also included the leftover amount from before, the Great Dragon Card's accumulated earnings over the past few days, and some loot.

Exactly as the System had calculated.

"Sigh... I finally managed to save up some money... forget it. A 2,100-coin item shouldn't be too bad, right..."

He consoled himself, let out a sigh, and purchased the upgrade option.

Staring at the last five Train Coins remaining in front of him, Ye Qiyan suddenly remembered something.

"What time is it now... oh, has it already passed midnight? Lisette, go get today's five Train Coins from the Great Dragon Card for me."

Lisette gave a slight bow. When she returned to Ye Qiyan with the five Train Coins,

His total Train Coins broke into double digits.

"Well, at least it's not a single digit. I still have a little something left."

Ye Qiyan shrugged.

He snapped his fingers, extracting the item obtained from the upgrade option.

"Let me see just what this thing is."

[Ingenuity · Divine Core Overseer]

[One: Records and catalogs all Divine Cores of Gods you have killed. Allows manipulation of machinery possessing a Divine Core to combine and transform with that Divine Core Armament, gaining a form and power more aligned with that particular Divine Core.]

[Two: Releases a Divine Core, consuming all its power. For a period of time, provides you with the False God Authority of that False God.]

[Three: Divine Cores recorded within this item will prevent any new Gods of that type from being born.]

[Example: The gnome race will no longer be able to ascend to the path of the False God.]

[Note: Due to Overdrive, your Absolute Supreme series has completely devoured Divine Cores, rendering this item ineffective against them.]

This thing...

Seemed a bit interesting, didn't it?

Three abilities.

The first was the longest, but also the easiest to understand.

It allowed Scoundrel or Lancelot to transform into a new form using a single Divine Core Armament for a period of time.

In other words, it gave them additional combat methods and abilities.

What was truly attention-grabbing were the last two abilities.

"Authority? What does that mean specifically?"

["Example: After using this ability to consume the Ghost Shark God's Divine Core Armament, you can gain control over all Ghost Sharks, including their life, death, and faith.

Through this Authority, you could render the Ghost Sharks who believe in the Ghost Shark God unable to reproduce, or unable to come into contact with the ocean."]

I see. Authority means absolute power over life and death for those who hold faith.

No, "life and death" was too conservative.

Forcing a race that lives in water to be unable to touch water, or making a race that stands on land have to enter the ocean...

That kind of thing was absolutely terrifying.

"As expected, believing in gods never ends well. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Ye Qiyan shook his head, finally focusing his gaze seriously on the third ability.

"No new gods of that type will be born? So, for those gods I killed before, their races would have originally produced new gods just like the old ones?"

[Insufficient permissions, cannot answer]

"Interesting. So a race's god isn't unique; it can be replicated. No, rather... it can be endlessly created?"

[Insufficient permissions, cannot answer]

Ye Qiyan extracted the item.

The Divine Core Overseer.

This item, with such an imposing name, actually looked like some kind of mechanical device resembling a smartphone.

Touching the screen, it displayed the gods Ye Qiyan had hunted and killed.

From Mechanical and Flesh all the way to the last one, Plague Rat.

A total of nine different Divine Core imprints.

The first two of the three abilities could be considered add-ons, but the third one was the item's true purpose.

————

[Level 10 Station World: Gnome Kingdom]

With the help of some mysterious entity, the gnome race had spent several years in this world, where the time flow was completely different from the Wasteland. Finally, a new God was about to be born.

The gnomes cheered the name of the Goblin God.

They knelt on the ground, waiting for the new god to perform a miracle, waiting for the god to appoint new Apostles.

The new Goblin God walked up to the high platform, looking down at the billions of gnome kin below with boundless ambition.

He spread his arms wide. In the sky above, beyond the world, an existence let out a puzzled voice.

"The gnome... Divine Sequence has vanished? Interesting... The train system is truly becoming more and more domineering. The Golden Age, huh? Heh..."

That entity, who was in the process of creating a god, chuckled lightly and left this world.

The gnome who was supposed to become the Goblin God waited and waited. Below, the billions of gnomes were parched and dry-mouthed, but the Authority to become a god never arrived.

The gnome race would never produce another god.

Or, to be more precise,

They would never produce another

[False God].
