My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 714: Chapter 708: The Prestige of the Prophet

"For this kind of task, I don’t even need to leave the Paradise to complete it perfectly!"

"Let those ’Hongjuns’ open a temporary Space Gate, I’ll do it right now!"

With that said, Su Qiangwei sat cross-legged on the cold ground, closed her eyes slightly, and began to operate the "Red Lotus Skill" while activating the power of [Myriad Transformations].

As time passed, the slight baby fat on her face and arms disappeared quickly like snow meeting a blazing sun.

An hour later, Extraordinary Ones in the middle layer and above from various major countries received the relevant notification and began to cooperate in the action.

Three hours later, 40% of the global population knew that the [National Cultivation Competition] would start tomorrow.

Seven hours later, Su Qiangwei opened her eyes.

Compared to before, she was obviously much slimmer now, her estimated weight seemingly around just eighty pounds.

Su Qiangwei’s eyes were calm, her expression indifferent, exuding an elegant air like a celestial being untouched by the mortal world.

Her gaze fell on Ma Ran, her eyes slightly narrowing: "Hehe, I nailed it! Praise me!"

Ma Ran nodded slightly: "Good work."

Having such a comrade to help was indeed reassuring.

While Su Qiangwei was executing the [National Cultivation Competition], Ma Ran also completed his related preparations for the performance — consolidating and coordinating his existing abilities, further tapping into their potential, and finding more suitable combinations.

Schemes that could enhance the performance effect!

[Ye Fengqing’s Timeless Territory] wasn’t just for killing enemies.

When used in "Chasing Time," it could also show remarkable effects.

The primary purpose of the performance was to enhance his combat power — at least enough to make the Divine Court cautious, preventing any random [Supreme Ruler] from descending and annihilating Earth Civilization completely.

Simultaneously, Ma Ran wanted to give Earthlings a chance to race against time.

After interactions, communication, and negotiations with several Divine Court Masters, Ma Ran obtained many benefits.

Simply the accumulation seized from Mo Xing was enough to let an individual enjoy hundreds of thousands of years of time, even if it was just used as fuel for regulating the temporal domain!

In this world, everything has a price. Enjoying the benefits brought by the "Time Acceleration Zone" will also consume lifespan.

The lifespan consumption issue is easy to solve.

The lifespan tax collected with the [Profound Immortal] medal is so abundant that Ma Ran could not possibly squander it all. If he wanted, he could even create hundreds of thousands of [Immortals] in a small Guanlan Country!

However, Ma Ran isn’t a caretaker; he won’t do everything comprehensively.

Want to get stronger?

Sure!

Ma Ran will provide the opportunity, create conditions, and offer convenience.

But...

It requires Earth’s compatriots to fight for it, to strive for it.

"You did great."

Ma Ran clapped his hands, and over twenty dishes crafted with dazzling starlight appeared in the control room: "Enjoy them well."

"I’ll handle the next part on my own."

In just over ten hours, the [National Cultivation Competition] activity was about to unfold.

Now, Ma Ran mentally pre-rehearsed everything in detail to ensure no basic mistakes would appear during the performance.

As for possible unexpected situations at that time...

The variables in the [Supreme Ruler]s are so numerous that even Ma Ran cannot identify them one by one.

In fact, when he didn’t yet have equal status or combat power, it was already a stroke of luck to foresee the future of those existences, even if just sporadic fragments, through the [Prophet] medal.

Not counting the fallen [Supreme of Destiny] Zhu Ding.

Aside from Mo Xing, the [Supreme of Time], who had already promised and was willing to cooperate on this matter, Ma Ran couldn’t confirm what the other five Divine Court Masters would think or do.

No matter what, during the [National Cultivation Competition], with Mo Xing, the [Supreme of Time], watching from the Divine Court and the global audience’s attention...

Ma Ran was quite confident that he could use this opportunity to obtain the last medal of the Lord of the Red Lotus series through the [play] ability.

Even further, completing the fusion and progression of the three silver medals!

By then, with the backing of three golden medals and the skillful utility of the traits of the "Burning Martial" Twenty-Eighth Rank...

Ma Ran could entirely make three among the Cangming Overlords possess combat power to match [Supreme Rulers]!

On the Earth Super Forum, all the pinned posts on every board were replaced with the same post.

The author was noted as [Ice River Immortals].

"To celebrate the global open beta of Strongman Paradise, we are launching an irregular event - [National Cultivation Competition]."

The contents of the post were very straightforward and easy to understand, with no official terms or phrases often seen in news, making it highly relatable. Anyone literate, even elementary school students, could understand it.

"[National Cultivation Competition] event? Could it be the people from various countries competing against each other to see who becomes stronger in Strongman Paradise, who improves and progresses faster?"

"The competition among countries should be secondary, the main thing is still to counter the threat from the Divine Court, right?"

"The last [Family Nurturing] contest, I’m still traumatized by it, how could I forget it!"

"Time stopped for such a long period, we could only watch and listen, then comment with thoughts, and continue with work after it ended. That disoriented feeling was driving people mad!"

"Damn! Has no one paid attention to the guest list? The [Prophet] really has a lot of clout!"

"Sword Master, Demon Spawn, Profound Immortal, Lord of the Red Lotus will all grace the event? Really?"

"Of course it’s real! This posting account is used when [Prophet] and [Martial God] make a joint decision and want to make it public!"

"Hey? I found a blind spot! Among the seven Divine Court Masters, one with the title [Supreme of Time] is also coming!"

"[Supreme of Time]? That title sounds a bit intimidating!"

"Wasn’t it them who stopped time for the entire Earth for about a half-month last time?"

"It must be them, no other god will have been able to do it."

"The scariest part is... this guy’s Time Stop area isn’t limited to Earth, even the gods in the Divine Court were controlled by them! — Everyone should’ve noticed this when arguing with the gods back then!"

"Ultimate hard control, terrifying beyond measure!"

"No way! Did this [Supreme of Time] get spooked by Lord Ran’s mighty presence and decided to betray the Divine Court to serve us?"

"It’s possible, after all, everyone knows how utterly ridiculous the diplomatic clout of the [Prophet] can be."

"For goodness’ sake, speak with some sense, their title even has ’Supreme,’ shouldn’t we think a little before talking? Not just supreme, even an ordinary emperor who doesn’t meet extraordinary standards rarely wants to submit to others!"

"So what does this mean?"

"Testing each other! The Divine Court wants to probe, the [Prophet] is showing strength to deter the enemy."

"Makes sense! Both have their purposes, whoever laughs last depends on who’s more skillful!"

"Such a ruthless enemy, dying would be the best outcome. So next is luring them into a trap and killing them?"

"I hope Ran God will hold back a little, hide more cards, so their crucial tricks won’t all be exposed..."

"What you said is what I worry about the most! [Prophet] always prefers straightforward approaches, crushing straightforwardly, never engaging in conspiracies and trickery, and although extremely intelligent, despises using deceitful tactics."

"Ma Ran: Holding back? That term isn’t in my dictionary!"

"Damn it! Ran Baby is good at everything except showing off in front of his mates!"

"So heartbreaking! Sometimes being trustworthy to a fault can be a disadvantage too... I always feel he might suffer."

"Youthful passion, heated enough to scorch a vampire’s mouth with fire blisters - tough, bold, confident enough!"

"But not steady enough... Oh man, I worry my heart out for the [Prophet]! Initially thought he was much more stable than the [Martial God], but seeing now, there’s a reason the two play well together."
