Chapter 670 - 664: Sword Chant · Soul Resonance · The Main Show Begins!
Earth, atop Mount Everest.
Snow-covered, with cold winds howling.
Two figures stood facing each other.
"Ready!"
Su Qiangwei rubbed her small hands: "The top 500 Extraordinary Ones globally have been notified, everyone is cooperating well, expressing willingness to owe you this favor."
"As soon as you give the order, I can pull everyone’s soul over to help you integrate into the ’Planetary Ascension’ perspective."
Planetary ascension...
Even saying "once in a lifetime" is not appropriate for such a thing.
After all, Earth has existed for billions of years, and it hasn’t upgraded even once.
Ma Ran, at some unknown time, completed a consultation with the Sword Master and the Lord of the Red Lotus, planning to cooperate to complete this matter, but did not monopolize it, instead offering the top Extraordinary Ones of Earth a chance to witness this once-in-a-lifetime "cosmic phenomenon" up close.
Even if they couldn’t comprehend much from it, just the change in perspective and the chance to witness the entire process would be a lifetime’s worth of resources for many Extraordinary Ones!
Of course.
In Su Qiangwei’s personal view, Ma Ran’s command to her to pull the top 500 Extraordinary Ones globally into the planetary ascension perspective might not be to distribute fortuitous encounters at all. Maybe it’s just that this guy wants to show off, so he let her be the laborer, helping to pull in a high-profile audience.
Initially, Su Qiangwei was quite resistant to such matters.
The talents and abilities of a [Martial God] shouldn’t be used for this!
But after cooperating with Ma Ran more frequently, she gradually became accustomed, and even started to enjoy it.
Thinking of this, Su Qiangwei tightened her little face, trying hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, and looked at Ma Ran with a serious expression.
Probably the main reason for enjoying this process is that saying, "A person’s position is determined by her nemesis"?
The stronger Ma Ran is, the more deeds there are to show off, the more valuable it is to defeat him!
Master Qiangwei won’t always settle for second place!
Hmm!
"No need, just locking their soul auras is enough."
"Okay."
In a simple dialogue, Su Qiangwei snapped her fingers.
Snap!
Five hundred light spots of various colors appeared in front of Ma Ran.
"Well done, then, I’m starting."
Saying this, Ma Ran reached out his hand, placing it on Su Qiangwei’s shoulder: "Do not resist, carefully experience this power, try to maintain energy resonance with me, and attempt to enter a state of soul resonance."
After speaking, the dazzling silver light in his eyes flowed slightly, forming a black vortex, star power spreading around him, and the power of the soul slowly flowed into the girl’s body, beginning to tremble gently.
The five hundred light spots representing the top 500 in Earth’s Extraordinary Realm were drawn into the depths of the Earth by the black vortex in Ma Ran’s eyes.
At the same time!
Ma Ran extracted power from the Fixed Star Gem taken from Lan Xi’s hand, activating the [Sword Master] Medal!
Strongman Paradise, after all, is constructed within the [Fake Earth] Secret Realm, exists by depending on the Secret Realm, and requires the power of the Sword Master Medal to perform transformation through enchantment to fuse with Earth.
Buzz...
The sword sings softly, like a dragon’s roar, or perhaps a long wind passing through a mountain, unstoppable.
Rumble...
In [Strongman Paradise], the earth shook and mountains swayed, winds surged and clouds converged.
On Earth, however, it was calm and peaceful, only the sharply increased concentration of "Spiritual Qi" making some weak-bodied ordinary people feel intoxicated as if drunk.
Supernatural power research institutions in various countries immediately began related data tracking investigations.
Because of the advance notice from Earth’s will, even ordinary humans without data analysis reports realized——fusion had already begun.
People were expectant, nervous, anxious, although they couldn’t follow the whole process from a God’s perspective, many temporarily put down what they were doing, waiting either patiently or eagerly for the fusion to end.
What will the final result be?
Upgrade successfully to welcome a Super Earth?
Or fail like a shoddy online game, directly scrapped?
If Earth is scrapped, what will happen to the humans living on it?
When the [Earth God List] appeared, the people of all countries worldwide were arguing incessantly over the content of the 26th stage of [Burning Martial], one side believing Ma Ran should bind with Earth, while the other side opposed, thinking the risk too great.
The affirmative side felt Ma Ran had good character, was trustworthy, powerful, talented, and responsible, so binding Earth to him was better than a future ambitious talent binding Earth.
The opposing side’s arguments were bizarre, lacking credibility, and much less persuasive.
Moreover, compared to the affirmative side, the opposition was in an absolute minority, extremely few.
Given the terrifyingly powerful opponent [Divine Court], Earth’s civilization faced unprecedented pressure, which also led people of all countries to abandon prejudices and unite, either actively or passively, moving towards a common goal with united strength.
Facts proved that the news announced by the [Divine List] wasn’t soliciting everyone’s opinions.
Because the big picture was set——after Ma Ran derived [Burning Martial] to the 26th stage, Earth was already bound, becoming the planetary chief in the true sense, the undisputed master of Earth.
This wasn’t just a title; it came with actual authority and the support of a mystical status!
At least at this stage, no one can strip this identity from Ma Ran.
Perhaps, when Earth’s indigenous strongmen all grow to the point of self-sufficiency, and Earth’s civilization becomes the overlord of the cosmos, Ma Ran would voluntarily lift this binding, as by that time, his ultimate pursuit would be fulfilled, he could lay down the burden, live a truly free and comfortable life, traveling as he pleased in the boundless universe, enjoying his own peace and tranquility.
But...
Not now!
"So this is the feeling of soul resonance..."
Su Qiangwei’s voice suddenly echoed in Ma Ran’s mind.
She hadn’t used the [Unity] superpower, hadn’t opened her mouth, nor moved a muscle, but this thought emerged, hence her voice sounded in Ma Ran’s will.
In this state, Ma Ran could clearly feel Su Qiangwei’s emotions, will, beliefs, even the slightest emotional changes hidden in each strand of thought.
The same for Su Qiangwei.
"That’s right."
Ma Ran’s voice similarly echoed in the depths of the teammate’s consciousness: "Earlier, judging from your expression, I thought you didn’t want to help, didn’t expect you’d be so happy..."
"This pure joy is quite infectious."
Su Qiangwei felt the tips of her ears getting hot, her face starting to flush.
Ah, not right!
In this state, she didn’t have ears, limbs, or a face.
Saying "my soul is almost boiling" seems more appropriate.
But...
Ma Xiansheng, this guy is really something!
Not telling her about such important information earlier?
Some psychological preparation would be nice!
"Soul resonance is like this, no use preparing beforehand."
Ma Ran’s emotion was exceptionally calm: "Let’s talk business first."
"The fusion process of Earth and the [Fake Earth] Secret Realm isn’t complicated, even if you understand the principle thoroughly in [Red Lotus Skill], you can do it."
"It’s just that your energy reserve is insufficient to sustain the entire process."
Su Qiangwei noticed that Ma Ran’s subsequent thoughts turned into real voices, addressing the five hundred Extraordinary Ones: "[Martial God], Lord of the Red Lotus, and I have completed the preparation phase of the work."
"Next up..."
The entire planet ascension process will be led by the [Sword Master].
"Please don’t be distracted, don’t panic, maintain a calm mind."
"Focus, observe, and ponder carefully."
"This is a rare experience."
...
Third Warzone.
In the Golden Domain, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, the multicolored glint in Lan Xi’s eyes revealed a somber expression: "Lan Xi, Chi Xiao."
"There is a situation on Earth!"
