Chapter 683: Chapter 677: Legend Completed! External Heart!
The facts proved that Ma Ran was correct.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained; only strategies can win people’s hearts.
Even the Upper Rank Gods who have presided over the Divine Court for countless centuries are propelled by curiosity.
Under the close watch of these quality [audience] members, the feedback progress bar surged wildly.
Before long, the [play] ability provided feedback.
"Faster than expected."
Ma Ran’s eyes flickered with joy.
He noticed that on this planet before him, earth-shattering changes were rapidly taking place.
The great forces named time, space, and life enveloped this planet.
From the outside, it seemed a blur, nothing clear.
However, Ma Ran was acutely aware that this planet he named "Cangming Star" was gradually evolving into what Earthlings and the Gods of the Divine Court truly perceived as that "Cangming Star."
Countless shadows of life forms were reflected in its long historical river.
Many life auras, both strange and familiar to Ma Ran, were continuously emerging.
"Better than expected."
The corners of Ma Ran’s lips slightly curled up.
Though he had a complete plan and was confident he could handle being exposed, still...
This is the best result, isn’t it?
According to the background stories in the four major scripts: "Sword Master," "Demon Child," "Profound Immortal," and "Lord of the Red Lotus," the life-supporting planet fabricated by Ma Ran was truly materialized as Cangming Star!
What?
The Upper Rank God Chi Xiao from the Divine Court wanted to play at Cangming Star?
Sure!
Create one on the spot!
Ma Ran’s figure lingered in the pitch-black, icy vacuum environment, his gaze focused on Cangming Star.
Through the chaotic veil, he "saw" world transformations, species evolution, race breeding, civilization inheritance!
The weak Cangming Human Race, struggling to survive under natural disasters.
In normal development, this race, without much feature or advantage, would soon disappear in the river of history.
However...
A lone illusory figure emerged, holding a three-foot sword, establishing eternal fame!
He created the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, set laws with one word, ventured to extraterrestrial stars, securing numerous high-yield crops for the world, contending with the Heavenly Dao, battling natural disasters to the point where they bowed at his sight.
This person was Cangming Star’s first-generation Human Race Overlord, [Sword Master] Lin Qiubai!
After that, the second-generation [Demon Child] Zhang Kuang rose from obscurity, breaking the Extraordinary rigid class. Not only did he consolidate the Sword Master’s legacy, but he also distributed opportunities nationwide, fostering a hundred schools of thought, laying the foundation for Cangming’s perennial prosperity!
Then came the third-generation [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan and the fourth-generation [Lord of the Red Lotus] Ye Fengqing.
Each generation of Cangming Overlord experienced a magnificent life, with varied temperaments, yet they all possessed a sense of pride and responsibility. After reaching the apex, they did not indulge but strived for higher goals.
The Cangming Human Race continued to proliferate and flourish.
Time flew by, the sun and moon rotated, and in a flash, the race had expanded to a hundred billion.
"..."
Amusement appeared in Ma Ran’s eyes: "Turning falsehood into reality?"
"No, it’s not that simple."
He could clearly feel that the humans on Cangming Star were genuine life forms, real and unfeigned, possessing independent thinking abilities, complete souls, and pasts!
Throughout Cangming Star’s history, only four were exceptions.
They were not living people but merely segments of stories.
Stories named "Sword Master," "Demon Child," "Profound Immortal," and "Lord of the Red Lotus."
But...
They indeed existed!
A strong sense of déjà vu surged in Ma Ran’s heart. He reached out his hand as if he could touch the entire "Cangming Historical Records."
And now, he suddenly realized...
The four Cangming Overlords were all projections of his thoughts and musings.
"Can such details be filled in too?"
After understanding the crux, a peculiar expression appeared on Ma Ran’s face: "Although it can barely maintain logical consistency with my script settings, the [audience] shouldn’t know these settings anyway..."
"Coincidence?"
"No... wrong."
At this point, Ma Ran suddenly realized that [play] was neither rigid nor unchanging in capability.
Although it doesn’t change due to the external environment, it would transform in a direction influenced by Ma Ran’s will.
With this thought, Ma Ran refocused, concentrating on Cangming Star.
The cold, dead edge of the cosmos had no star-provided warmth or light.
Yet, on this planet’s inhabitants, they had only entered a state akin to hibernation, reducing their dependency on the external environment to the minimum.
Even as the water in the air condensed into dry ice flakes, they didn’t perish, exhibiting extremely formidable life force and adaptability.
To Ma Ran, a planet suitable for human habitation was not inherently important.
If he wished, he could easily create many similar planets.
The key lies with the people, historical heritage, and spiritual civilization!
Of course...
In the eyes of the people on Earth and the audience from the Divine Court, the birthed [Cangming Star] also possesses its special abilities.
Thump...
Thump, thump...
Ma Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.
In his perception, Cangming Star seemed to have become its own "external heart," forming a mysterious connection with him.
It is well known that the twenty-sixth rank in "Burning Martial" can condense the Starlight Organ·Heart, binding to a life planet, synchronizing heartbeats with the Star Core’s rhythm, thus forming a bond with shared destiny.
However, after its birth, [Cangming Star] didn’t become the irreplaceable only-bound planet for Ma Ran, but also exerted capabilities similar to present-day Earth.
Aside from that...
Ma Ran quickly realized that he only needed a thought to let any species on Cangming Star evolve and develop in the direction he wanted.
Flying creatures, marine life...
Vacuum life forms, super-intelligent beings...
Short-lived but rapidly developing races...
As long as Ma Ran wished and enough time, one unique race after another could gradually evolve on Cangming Star.
For instance...
Microbes capable of devouring Divine Power.
Once cultivated successfully, they could make Cangming an unbreakable line of defense in the Solar System.
Earth and Cangming Star strategically form a complementary system, establishing sturdy foundational links.
The materialization of Cangming Star enhanced Ma Ran’s prowess and held significant strategic meaning.
"Only able to regulate macroscopically but can’t precisely manipulate individual entities..."
Thinking of this, Ma Ran couldn’t help but chuckle.
He was still too greedy.
[Cangming Star] is already impressive.
"Hmm?"
Ma Ran’s eyes sharpened.
He noticed a strong yet gentle external force guiding this planet named "Cangming," seemingly trying to transport it through space to a corner of the cosmos.
