My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 724: Chapter 718: Putting on a Show! Harvesting Skills!

Strongman Paradise, at the summit of the Main Control Tower.

Ma Ran glanced at Su Qiangwei, who was quietly cultivating beside him, and slowly walked to the window.

He gazed into the distance and noticed a chibi-sized [Martial God], approximately 16.7 centimeters tall, wreaking havoc across the battlefield, rapidly slaughtering the projections of the deities, like a merciless experience points harvesting machine.

Next to the chibi figure’s battlefield, a group of participants who had "cultivated to their limits" gathered.

Within the audience, there were men and women, old and young, and Ma Ran didn’t even need to use his hearing to guess what these people were saying.

Su Qiangwei’s avatar had been slaughtering all around during this period, and many deity projections that even top-tier Extraordinary Ones found helpless were easily crushed before her, making her the center of attention.

The [Martial God Avatar], possessing the three advantages of being adorable, strong, and cool, attracted a lot of fans for Su Qiangwei.

This made Ma Ran somewhat tempted, contemplating whether to imitate her.

After thinking for a moment, he abandoned the thought, and with his Soul Reflection reaching all directions, everything occurring in Strongman Paradise and on Earth was revealed and undeniable.

On Earth, all was peaceful, and the Divine Court had not taken the opportunity to send a demon-eradicating legion to attack.

Within Strongman Paradise, the Extraordinary Ones with firm beliefs and clear goals competed to cultivate madly.

Song Chu, Zhu Hanyi, Wan Haihao, Wu Di, Zhang Qianren, Matt Gray...

The familiar faces at the top of the event points leaderboard were basically the regulars.

However, some unfamiliar faces often appeared in the top hundred.

The essence of the [National Cultivation Competition] event was to give those who would have been submerged in the tide of times a chance to rise, to reverse their destiny through their own efforts.

"It seems I’ve done decently,"

Ma Ran’s lips slightly curved upwards, silently smiling.

The top hundred participants on the points leaderboard would eventually receive lifespan rewards, but he didn’t particularly care who they were.

After all, the transference of lifespan was essentially the wondrous use of the [Profound Immortal] medal, reallocating a small portion from the recently collected Life Span Tax from Guanlan Country.

A minimal expense, yet creating multiple times of benefits and bringing excellent performance effects.

"Hmm..."

"Just now, a few strong figures mentioned ’Earth’ and me in their discussion."

Ma Ran’s eyes shifted slightly.

To be regarded as a strong figure by him now were only the [Supreme Rulers] of the Divine Court.

At most, one could include the [True Demon].

"The time is almost ripe."

Ma Ran’s mind moved, releasing a fraction of the remaining will of the [Supreme of Destiny].

Zhu Ding, whose perception was blocked and confused by the power of [Burning Shadow], quickly regained consciousness.

As a Supreme Ruler, his life was tenacious.

In an instant, Zhu Ding’s will resonated with the True Spirit Seal, almost forging a body for him and reshaping his soul.

But...

Relying on his strong will, Zhu Ding prevented this from happening.

Because he knew better than anyone that the moment he reshaped his body and soul would be when he died once more.

Ma Ran was still alive.

This guy was ruthless, cold, and merciless, leaving him no chance of reversing the game.

As for why he was temporarily released...

Zhu Ding couldn’t understand, nor could he fathom where Ma Ran’s arrogance stemmed from.

But he knew exactly what he should do.

"Do you want to play cat and mouse with me? Fine, I’ll play with you to the end!"

Zhu Ding thought with resentment, "One day, you will regret this!"

Upon regaining consciousness, Zhu Ding immediately began gathering intelligence on Ma Ran and tried to convey these messages to his allies.

Every being that reached the level of a Supreme Ruler had gone through countless hardships and would seize any opportunity, swiftly converting it into victory!

Ma Ran heard Zhu Ding’s voice, knowing what he was doing, but let it be, without coming out to stop him.

He started to ramp up his acting.

"Zhu Ding..."

Ma Ran softly recited the name of the [Supreme of Destiny], his face showing a confident smile, with a hint of mockery in his words.

"You are too impulsive."

"Even if you achieve the Supreme Rank, you are still being toyed with in our hands."

Speaking, Ma Ran lightly flicked his index finger, speaking in a flippant tone like a villain, "Who exactly are your enemies? Where are they? How many are there in total?"

"You can’t even figure out these."

"His Majesty Ye Fengqing’s plan is an open plot; even if you know everything, you can’t stop it."

The Power of Time coiled and compressed around Ma Ran’s fingers, the shadows burning on it, making Zhu Ding feel a chill.

He said bitterly, "You are wrong!"

"You underestimate the foundation of a [Supreme Ruler] too much!"

"Get ready to regret it!"

With these words, Zhu Ding burned part of his willpower in an instant, sending out a massive amount of information.

Ma Ran’s expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to calm, speaking in a deep tone, "Since it’s an open scheme, I’m not afraid of leaks. All your struggles are in vain."

In fact, what Zhu Ding could convey to the few Supreme Rulers of the Divine Court were fabricated pieces of intelligence, causing no actual loss to himself.

Even...

On the contrary, due to the presence of the [Performance] ability, Zhu Ding’s actions were essentially "funding the enemy".

Even if he did nothing, merely having the remaining will focus on Ma Ran’s actions could still play the role of a top [Audience].

...

In the internal communication channel of the Controllers of the Divine Court, Zhu Ding, who had been silent for a long time, finally came online.

"Everyone, I’m back!"

Mo Xing immediately spoke, "You’re not dead? I clearly saw your body and soul annihilated. Although the True Spirit wasn’t shattered, the connection with your will and rank was temporarily cut off. Before the next era arrives, you shouldn’t have the ability to act freely!"

Zhu Ding immediately said, "Everyone, please remain silent first!"

"I am not fully resurrected, still in a state suppressed by Ma Ran."

"I can speak, think, and see, and when Ma Ran relaxes his suppression, I can transmit some information to you in this form of thought wave."

"This is all temporary."

"Time is pressing."

"Listen carefully, what I have to say is very important!"

"That guy Mo Xing probably knows something too, but I doubt he’ll tell you."

"I’m not sure how much time I have for free action, so I’ll get straight to the point here."

"I have some important information on Ma Ran here!"

"He is most likely the [True Demon]!"

"When I fought with him, he once said he ’merely turned back the time a bit to retrieve the abilities he originally possessed’."

"After Ma Ran said this, destiny abandoned me, not only siding with him but even turning against me!"

"Now, Ma Ran is trying to seize the rank of the [Supreme of Destiny]. If he succeeds, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"At that time, he’ll be able to manipulate the fate trajectories of any life form except for the few of you without backlash."

"Additionally..."

"I suspect there’s a betrayer among us who has betrayed the Great Cosmos Will!"

"Be wary of the [Lord of the Red Lotus] Ye Fengqing, although Ma Ran didn’t say much, she schemes big, even capable of freely bestowing the Power of Time of an extremely high rank to others! Be careful of the traitor, I suspect..."

Zhu Ding’s voice abruptly stopped.

His ability to transmit messages via thought wave was once again sealed.

Sometimes, saying everything is not as effective as leaving things half-said.

In Ma Ran’s view, Zhu Ding is a self-conceited guy, among the seven Controllers of the Divine Court, he was also the most arrogant and self-assured one.

Even already fallen, with only an indestructible will remaining, he wouldn’t doubt his capabilities, rather seize the time to "contribute" to the rest of the Divine Court companions.

Ma Ran grasped the other’s urgent needs and perfectly mastered his narrative rhythm.

[Supreme Ruler]?

In Ma Ran’s eyes, they are all just chives.

After Zhu Ding’s voice disappeared, he could only watch quietly with open eyes, appearing as an [Audience] when Ma Ran needed, yet unable to do anything.

Zhu Ding’s words caused a sudden change in the atmosphere in the internal communication channel.

Theoretically, [Supreme Rulers] are recognized by the Great Cosmos Will, so it should be impossible for them to mingle and brew storms with a [True Demon].

But...

No one has ever seen the [True Demon]’s real body, nor knows what kind of omnipotence it possesses.

The utterances of Zhu Ding just now shouldn’t have been baseless.

Everyone was observing and investigating in their own ways, attempting to analyze who the "betrayer" was.

Who is the traitor?

Lan Xi?

Ever since meeting with Ma Ran on Earth, he’s been acting strangely, completely different from his previous demeanor.

Golden Domain?

The suspicion towards him is the highest because, according to Qing Dai’s reasoning, he was the first Supreme Ruler to meet with Ma Ran.

Chi Xiao?

In that "family development competition" he had with Ma Ran, he was suppressed too much by Ye Fengqing, making it unclear whether he was holding back or genuinely restrained.

Mo Xing?

He tried to interrupt Zhu Ding’s speech just now, and Zhu Ding didn’t trust him.

Even...

Zhu Ding and Ma Ran may have cooperatively put on a good show, with the Evil God lodging a complaint first, it’s not impossible!
