Chapter 487 - 481: [Prodigy] Ma Ran’s "Contemporaries
At this moment, Su Qiangwei thought about many things.
Known Condition 1: The Second Generation God of Slaughter is much stronger than the First Generation God of Slaughter, and has the advantage of time; for every day that passes on Earth, they enjoy a time difference of hundreds of years.
Known Condition 2: Although the First Generation God of Slaughter had weak combat power, last time Master Qiangwei and Ma Ran only narrowly managed to eliminate it through seamless cooperation.
To be proven: Who are the "other people" that Ma Ran mentioned?
They should be fairly powerful divine-level teammates.
[Sword Master] Lin Qiubai, [Demon Child] Zhang Kuang, [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan, [Game Main God] Xuan...
The Little Daoist from the mountain Wudang, the Eldest Prince of Chuanke, Li Tang...
As for [God] Gray soaking in the spring of faith waiting for rebirth, and [Emotional Tribulation] Jin Yina in the South Korea division of the Guardian Organization, they were the first two options Su Qiangwei ruled out.
Ma Ran didn’t keep them guessing, and simply explained with a smile: "Besides Zhu Hanyi and Wu Di, there are a few newcomers."
"They..."
"Are considered volunteers."
Hearing this, a look of sudden realization appeared on the girl’s face.
She clenched her left hand into a fist and punched it into her right palm: "Got it!"
Ma Ran has always been calculating and strategic, preparing for a hundred steps ahead with each move.
This time, although they aim to eliminate the Second Generation God of Slaughter, and the target seems clear, in reality...
Based on Su Qiangwei’s understanding of Ma Ran, this guy could not possibly have just this one goal.
Those "volunteers" that were temporarily recruited were probably there to complete extra experiments?
It was almost certainly like that.
As for what experiment Ma Ran is actually conducting...
Su Qiangwei couldn’t be bothered to think.
Master Qiangwei disdains engaging in such brain-draining activities.
The girl wasn’t curious at all, not even bothered to ask.
It’s nothing more than keywords like "luck," "talent," "change in survival environment," "mecha testing," "adaptability of Earth humans."
She knows Ma Ran too well!
Suddenly, the lively and quirky Su Qiangwei realized a serious problem at this time.
"Hey? Was I just considering using a big move to perish together with [God]?"
Although she was indeed confident enough to drag [God] Gray down with her, she couldn’t handle the fact that he could be resurrected!
She hasn’t yet gained a Resurrection Coin-like ability; dying would mean real death!
[God] must be cheating, right?
Breaking the balance!
Such an ability of [God] really should be removed from the Shengyu Stone Superpower System!
"Ugh! I actually forgot about [Myriad Transformations] his ability just now!"
Su Qiangwei’s beautiful eyes widened, her teeth clenched: "Ahhh! How stupid!"
Looking at the suddenly self-closure-prone partner in front of him, Ma Ran’s lips couldn’t stop curling up.
In a moment of realization, he faintly felt that the past Valkyrie and the sand sculpture girl in front of him were gradually merging into one distinct image.
Ma Ran thought he should console the other party at this point.
After pondering for a moment, he softly said, "From my perspective, among many National Guardian-level abilities..."
"The one you least need to transform is [God]."
Ma Ran glanced at Su Qiangwei, his expression complicated, his tone seemingly stifling a laugh, yet sounding sincerely consoling: "The brain-consuming task of shepherding believers under the name of [God] doesn’t suit you."
"From the start, you never really approved of the Western God, did you?"
As he said this, Ma Ran suddenly realized...
At this time, in the north of China, there is a combat power that can quickly be realized!
That is Zhang Qianren, known by the title of [Haotian], the ’Eastern God’!
Also an Upper-Rank National Guardian-level Ability User, but a tragic hero...
In a sense, Ma Ran, who in his past life declared his superpower as [Ultimate Cultivation Talent], and [Haotian] Zhang Qianren were figures of the same era.
Characters like [God] and [Martial God] are all old seniors.
The few interactions with Zhang Qianren were still fresh in Ma Ran’s memory.
The man who was brimming with confidence, upon their first meeting, extended an olive branch to him.
"Under great fame, there aren’t poor warriors! [Heavenly Proud] Ma Ran, indeed handsome and striking, eminent and extraordinary, forgets the mundane at first sight! Your looks and demeanor are even more dashing than when I was young!"
"Join me, Ma Ran! Once I establish Heaven, I’ll appoint you as the [Celestial War God], giving you all the resources to help you break through the limits!"
"Though now, your accomplishments in inner qi, mecha, and Enclosure Text exceed others, but... the limits of those Extraordinary Systems are just too low! I need you, and you need me! We can achieve together!"
"With your help, I have confidence to drive all those extraterrestrial colonizers off Earth!"
"To repel external threats, one must first quash internal dissent, to do things right! With a just cause, actions will be justifiable; before doing, one must grasp righteousness! [Heavenly Proud], you’re too young, time will prove, I am the correct one!"
"When you see this recording, I should already be dead, given you’re on a mission off-planet, unaware when you’ll return. If possible in the future... please resurrect my wife and daughter, this is my final request! Pity... my Heaven was just a prototype, broken by those aliens’ joint attack, without even remnants... Otherwise, I might have entrusted the legacy of [Lord of Heaven] to you, hahaha! This is [Haotian]’s last secret! Brother Ma Ran, this parting drink... is for you!"
So, why in my past life would I declare my superpower as [Ultimate Cultivation Talent]?
Martial arts sentiment?
Having a cheat like [Role-Play] that defies reason, not thoroughly understanding and using it efficiently, wasting vast time on cultivation, isn’t that pure folly?
However, taking detours is normal.
Even though Ma Ran strayed off path in the past life, he eventually turned back, forcefully creating a rebirth opportunity, reversed time, and lived a second life again.
Now...
Everything is possible!
With these thoughts, Ma Ran collected his wandering thoughts.
Since reincarnation, the question always before Ma Ran concerning [Haotian]...
Before facing tragedy, Zhang Qianren was just a normal middle-aged man, his life not perfect, yet with small joys.
Only after suffering misfortunes, losing his entire family, did Zhang Qianren’s hair turn white overnight, meeting the lowest standard for Victory Stone Superpower awakening.
Ma Ran’s demeanor was calm.
People can improve.
Problems faced before, for the current me, can no longer be called challenges.
Even if the aptitude is weak, engaging in life-and-death battles multiple times should reach the standard.
If worst comes to worst, after returning, find Gray, the [Spiritual Power Charger], reap a thread of divinity, transform it into pure spiritual power, it can help Zhang Qianren reach the minimum standard line for superpower awakening.
With so much thought, only a second had passed.
Ma Ran looked at Su Qiangwei and calmly said, "There’s nothing to regret."
"[God] Gray’s current state is like a fully equipped champion, without much growth potential, [Myriad Transformations] his ability isn’t much use."
"Keep in mind..."
"You’re Su Qiangwei after all."
