Chapter 411 - 404: Qiangwei’s Temptation; Profound Immortal Evil
Chapter 411 - 404: Qiangwei’s Temptation; Profound Immortal Evil
The limitations of [Group Teleportation] are quite significant.
"Motion sickness effect" is just one of them.
Besides, excessive energy consumption and long preparation time are shortcomings that cannot be ignored.
However, Ma Ran didn’t care about this.
This minor technique was originally a higher-level concept of "Burning Martial" and wasn’t truly perfected. Using it now was merely to collect more practical data.
After teleporting back home from Busan, the other "passengers" were all dizzy, looking as if they’d drunk fake alcohol.
Besides Ma Ran himself and Zhao Guanlan, who remained normal from beginning to end, Su Qiangwei was the first to recover.
She used her Pandora ability, took out a rosy apple from her thumbnail, and after taking a few bites, she sighed and looked at Ma Ran with a complex expression.
"Although the side effects are obvious, but..."
"Is this the little trick you mentioned?"
Su Qiangwei always felt that after spending a long time with Ma Ran, her criteria for judging everything would deviate from the norm.
Being able to use one’s own power to teleport dozens of people over long distances without any equipment or tools would not be rated as below intermediate in any civilization throughout the vast cosmos, right?
Yet for Ma Ran, it’s just a little trick...
What kind of ability would count as a big technique then?
There should always be some comparative reference between small and big.
"..."
Looking at Su Qiangwei’s expression, Ma Ran knew what she was about to say next.
The familiarity between them meant that some things didn’t need to be explicitly stated.
Ma Ran thought Su Qiangwei wasn’t just playing devil’s advocate; she had a point.
After a brief ponder, he said calmly and plainly, "With a mere thought, create stars, derive laws, and establish an Eternal Domain covering an entire star system."
Su Qiangwei almost burst out laughing after hearing this.
But...
When she looked at Ma Ran’s face, she couldn’t laugh.
Evidently, Ma Ran was not joking.
Achieving such feats was what he considered a "big technique."
Creating stars is easily understood, as its literal meaning suggests.
Isn’t it just making stars with bare hands?
Even though Master Qiangwei can’t do it, neither can Ma Ran!
Things that no one can do could just be treated as a distant dream.
Master Qiangwei’s mindset is unparalleled!
As for [Deriving Laws] and [Creating an Eternal Domain]...
Other people might be confused, but Su Qiangwei immediately understood what Ma Ran meant.
The [Deriving Laws] Ma Ran mentioned actually refers to creating new universal laws and rules for the vast cosmos, closer to physical laws rather than the whimsical [Flame Law] or [Ocean Law] often mentioned in fantasy novels that Xiao Ming reads.
However, since these words came from Ma Ran’s mouth, they naturally had a personal touch.
Su Qiangwei briefly imagined the future and thought that if Ma Ran could truly achieve this level, the laws he derived might resemble something like [As long as the cosmos exists, Earth Civilization will not be destroyed under any circumstances].
It’s just...
Ridiculously far-fetched.
And that so-called [Eternal Domain], as the name suggests, most likely grants immortality to all Earthlings within its field.
Ma Ran just dares to think, speak, and do.
Immortality, considered the ultimate goal by many protagonists, is something he plans to distribute to all humanity in the future.
If anyone else mentioned these three points, Su Qiangwei would have just taken it as a joke.
This surpasses the bounds of black technology, super martial arts, and high magic and could be classified purely as a metaphysical capability.
But...
The person saying this is Ma Ran.
That adds some credibility.
Even if there are countless levels to achieve these three major goals, Su Qiangwei believes Ma Ran isn’t joking and that he will seriously work towards these directions.
"Welcome back!"
The voice of President Huang Weiguo brought Su Qiangwei out of her deep thoughts.
She looked up and found that most members of the Grass Hut Academy had gathered at the gate.
Including the new faces from the third recruitment, this group’s collective action efficiency was indeed not bad.
Old Huang walked quickly up to Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran, "You’ve worked hard on this trip!"
"Take a good rest for a few months before discussing anything else."
"The situation on Earth is unstable and precarious now."
"If there’s nothing urgent, try to avoid traveling far during this time."
During this period, President Huang Weiguo consolidated the work of various same-level and subordinate departments, and his influence grew stronger, with an increasingly prominent demeanor of an upper-rank individual.
Having said all this, he turned his head and looked at Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan.
Like other visitors from Cangming Star, Zhao Guanlan was completely different from Zhang Kuang and Lin Qiubai.
Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan is definitely not a good person!
This isn’t Old Huang’s prejudice against him but a consensus among the world’s Controller Groups.
Firstly, Zhao Guanlan has personally killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Earthlings and more than 300,000 Japanese people have died because of the [Profound Immortal Team].
Many find the number "300,000" familiar, and naturally so.
After all, this was the total death toll caused by the sea demon disaster when Outer Star Ocean Being Feng Yuji awakened in Japan’s waters.
"Whatever good deeds were done, they must be repaid with multiplied evil!"—this is what the Profound Immortal Team and Zhao Guanlan are most criticized for in Japan.
Secondly, Zhao Guanlan has now used the extreme organization of the Profound Immortal Team to control half of Japan, using some unscrupulous means to violently seize and grab a lot of power.
Lastly...
Zhao Guanlan himself seems not to want to return to Cangming Star and is prepared to stay on Earth indefinitely.
From this perspective, this high-valued visitor from Cangming Star is entirely different from the Demon and Sword Master.
Initially, when learning about Zhao Guanlan, President Huang Weiguo was quite concerned, always considering sending special forces to bring him back from Japan.
After all, wasn’t China the only designated strategic partner of Cangming Star?
But now...
"Welcome [Profound Immortal] to China as a guest."
Old Huang was very enthusiastic, but his first words defined Zhao Guanlan’s position.
Coming to China for a visit?
Sure!
But please return to Japan immediately after you’re done!
In President Huang Weiguo’s view, Zhao Guanlan is a complete scourge best left for Little Japan to handle.
To be honest, such a shameless and unscrupulous powerful person like [Profound Immortal] is unprecedented.
Even if someday Zhao Guanlan whimsically issues a decree requiring the island’s people to drink eighteen pounds of nuclear wastewater every day, Old Huang would not be surprised.
Indeed, this is something Zhao Guanlan is capable of doing.
