My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 726: Chapter 720: Just Ma Ran’s Silver Tongue

With a mouth saying "I see," and an expression of sudden realization, in reality, Mo Xing didn’t believe a single bit.

He was the dignified [Supreme of Time], one of the seven Controllers of the Divine Court.

He was recognized by the will of the great Cosmos, exterminating the Demon Nest, maintaining order, and preventing the return of the apocalypse.

From beginning to end, his mind and body were pure, his conviction steadfast.

With such a character, how could he possibly abandon light for darkness and join the Earth·Cangming Faction as a traitor?

On what grounds?

On the grounds of Ma Ran’s sweet talk?

Although [Prophet] Ma Ran was vain and liked to save face, his reputation was indeed quite good.

But this was not Mo Xing’s reason to side with him.

Ultimately, both Ma Ran and Ye Fengqing possess quite [Advanced] Power of Time, being potential competitors for the Supreme Rank of Time.

Just based on this, Mo Xing had no possibility of collaborating with the Earth·Cangming Faction.

As for the things Ma Ran mentioned about "opening time permissions to others, voluntarily deleting memories, altering the timeline, twisting the trajectory of time..."

To Mo Xing, it sounded like a joke.

These things could never happen!

Since he was rather weak, Mo Xing had been striving for eternal life, not knowing how much effort, sweat, and blood he had shed, defeating countless strong enemies to reach this point.

When he obtained eternal life, he cherished it exceedingly, impossible to do something so self-destructive as tearing down the Great Wall!

All these thoughts were completed in a flash.

Mo Xing resolved that regardless of how Ma Ran might use his oratory skill, he would never be swayed, at most just pretend to be brainwashed to extract more important information from Ma Ran.

Yet...

In the instant Mo Xing met Ma Ran’s gaze, he suddenly felt some hesitation.

Ma Ran’s expression was resolute, his eyes pure, flickering with the light of faith.

He spoke firmly: "One day, we will overthrow the tyranny of the [Divine Court] and create a wonderful world without slaughter or death."

"At that time, all life in the Cosmos will have eternal life in peace, undying and indestructible, obtaining eternal happiness and joy!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xing began to doubt whether he had been too hasty.

At any time, making a decision should involve careful thought.

By his nature, he should definitely not be so reckless!

Could it be the presence of fake memories causing him unreasonable aversion towards Ma Ran and the other four Cangming Overlords?

Furthermore, Ma Ran could speak words like "eternal life," "undying," and "indestructible," clearly having a good understanding of him...

No! No!

He must not continue following this train of thought.

Doing so would only fall into Ma Ran’s trap!

He needed to find a way to devise countermeasures!

Just as Mo Xing was about to speak, Ma Ran suddenly uttered, disrupting his thoughts directly.

"Zhu Ding, smart, strong, all-pervasive, never missing any opportunity."

Ma Ran smiled slightly: "This [Supreme of Destiny] does not know that your understanding of him exceeds his own."

"This time, we took advantage of his obstinacy, not only capturing him successfully but also making his arrogance and conceit a weapon to crush the Divine Court!"

After his words, Ma Ran snapped his fingers.

Snap!

No sound or light effects, no smell whatsoever, yet Mo Xing could feel Zhu Ding’s residual will maliciously "observing" him.

That tangible malice simply made him want to attack immediately, to strike first and utterly destroy it.

But the Supreme Rulers are extremely hard to kill, this he knew well.

Mo Xing opened his mouth, thoughts muddled, feeling as if his mind was blank.

This...

Was this also his "achievement"?

"Rest assured, he will not be released again."

Ma Ran looked at Mo Xing in the dark space and assured him: "I will never make the same mistake twice."

Indeed.

With Zhu Ding’s residual will around him, it’s enough to be a top-notch [Audience].

Ma Ran had used similar oratory skills back on Yinghuang Star.

The effect was quite good.

Mo Xing had investigated Ma Ran’s "past" and "future," but he hadn’t seen everything.

As a being of equivalent rank, Ma Ran deliberately used the power of the "Burning Shadow" and [Sword Master] medals to cut away some of the marks of the past.

This included certain "important" segments on Yinghuang Star.

The method of acquiring information by foreknowledge ability and monitoring the past, as long as the Supreme Rulers are guarded, is very difficult, and may even be utilized to get false information.

Observing Mo Xing’s expression and divine soul fluctuations, Ma Ran knew he had guessed correctly.

This time, Ma Ran did not use the ability of the [Prophet] medal; he had a whim and on a turn of thought, new lines freshly compiled came out spontaneously.

Because he found that some traits in the other party bore a strong resemblance to the [Pursuer] of the Eternal Civilization who died early.

Being able to deceive Mo Xing through oratory was the best outcome.

If he couldn’t deceive him, it really didn’t matter.

Among the many [Supreme Rulers] in the Divine Court, Mo Xing is the one who cherishes life the most, never to be swayed by anger.

Peace, living, eternal life, undying, indestructible...

Among these keywords, surely one or two touched Mo Xing.

The worst outcome would merely be angering the other party, nothing more.

"..."

Mo Xing bowed his head, lost in thought.

He really wanted to say to Ma Ran: "Since my mission is completed, can the time permissions shared with you and Ye Fengqing be reclaimed?"

But when these words came to his mouth, he didn’t know where to begin.

As Ma Ran said, to deceive other Supreme Rulers, one must first deceive oneself.

Cang Lian, Golden Domain, Qing Dai, Chi Xiao...

Except for Lan Xi, none are easy to deceive.

Actually, at this point, Mo Xing had begun to have some doubts about Ma Ran’s speech, not resisting as much as initially.

Even so, Ma Ran’s words still had some loopholes.

Mo Xing raised an eyebrow, probing with words: "[Sword Master], [Demon Child], [Profound Immortal], [Lord of the Red Lotus], my relationship with these individuals in the past..."

Ma Ran smiled slightly: "No relationship whatsoever."

"Before accumulating sufficient power, none ever contacted rashly."

"Generally, we communicate using thought avatars, like my current state."

"Some things can’t be said, as just voicing them will leave marks and flaws."

Saying this, Ma Ran tilted his face slightly: "His Majesty Ye Fengqing, could I trouble you to restore Mo Xing’s missing memories temporarily?"

Boom!

A scorching red lotus suddenly ignited in the dark space.

In an instant, a slender figure appeared before Mo Xing.

The other party had a curvy figure, purple hair reaching the waist, skin white as jade, ten fingers long and slender, exquisitely beautiful appearance, donned in a blood-red coat, treaded black combat boots, eyes crimson, akin to the finest gem in the Cosmos, yet her aura was extremely formidable.

Just standing there made Mo Xing feel a suffocating sensation.

That damned sense of oppression!

Could any living entity really reach such a level?

As the [Supreme of Time], Mo Xing for the first time doubted his abilities.

That woman is absurdly strong!

Mo Xing raised his eyes, staring directly at her, his expression stiff, articulated her identity word for word: "[Lord of the Red Lotus],Ye Fengqing!"
