Chapter 777 - 771: Conquering All Heavens!
In Qing Dai and Pei Ming’s view, the overall strength and top-notch combat power of the Sin Universe are inferior to those of the Endless Planes.
This point, even Zhu Ding, who was born and raised in the current universe, acknowledges.
However...
The boundary between the individual and the collective is very clear and distinct.
Even if they were tied together, they couldn’t defeat Ma Ran and even ended up being imprisoned in the humiliating situation of being trapped in mortal bodies.
To fall from being Supreme Rulers to captives, losing even the lowest degree of freedom completely, it’s reasonable that their moods are bad.
Even so, Qing Dai, Pei Ming, and Zhu Ding are very aware that Ma Ran, who seems broad-minded, is actually vengeful. Expressing some anger and dissatisfaction is acceptable as long as it doesn’t involve his personal dignity and honor.
However, if they truly made any outrageous move, they would likely be immediately stripped of their positions by the unheard-of Supreme of No Position and Supreme of Devouring, leaving them beyond redemption with no chance of resurrection.
Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei, these two oddities, are practically anomalies in the Endless Planes. Although they cannot suppress other Supremes with their attributes, they are also not suppressed by any Supreme Ruler.
The situation is stronger than the people!
This is without even considering the four top-notch combat powers on Cangming Star.
"You kept me imprisoned for over five hundred years."
Zhu Ding picked up a stone from the ground, exerting force with one hand as if trying to crush it into powder, but only turned his fingers pale.
He looked at Ma Ran with a gloomy expression: "For these five hundred years, I could not see, hear, or have any perception ability, trapped in a state neither alive nor dead, tortured endlessly."
"And now..."
"You suddenly let me out. Do you think I’m weak-willed, that after being tortured for a period, I would collapse and submit to you?"
"Or, you want to say that with the Main Universe facing a great enemy, there can be no internal strife, forcing me with righteousness?"
Not daring to confront Ma Ran directly, he could still bluster verbally.
Even though he already felt a certain level of fear for this Supreme of No Position in front of him, Zhu Ding still couldn’t let go of his pride.
"No, you are wrong."
Ma Ran smiled slightly, speaking calmly: "I only want you to become special invited players of ’All Heavens OL,’ that’s all."
The next moment, documents about ’All Heavens OL’ appeared from the air, drifting into the hands of the three mortified Supremes.
The stubborn Zhu Ding glanced over the documents in his hand, a look of silent astonishment flashing in his eyes.
As a Supreme Ruler, although he hadn’t experienced too much, he had decades of eons of experience. What great tides hasn’t he seen?
The Fourth Calamity, a nationwide virtual reality game, turning the Otherworld into an online game...
Honestly, taking these out individually wouldn’t feel fresh to Zhu Ding at all.
But this ’All Heavens OL’...
The ultimate goal is to conquer the Endless Plane, turning every world into part of the game map?
This scene, Zhu Ding had truly never witnessed.
It’s simply absurd!
The ’Endless’ in Endless Plane is not used as an exaggeration. Although some refer to it as ’All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds,’ in reality, in this vast and extreme Cosmos, the universes and planes are infinite.
Even if combined, the current populations of Earth and Cangming Star are far less in number.
After looking at the ’Game Development Plan’ in his hand, Zhu Ding felt he should show ridicule, a sneering expression.
But for some reason, he couldn’t laugh at all, only feeling a heavy heart.
If this matter involved Ma Ran, the Supreme of No Position...
Zhu Ding furrowed his brow, a chill gleamed in his eyes as he cut off his chaotic thoughts.
Even if it’s this guy, achieving the level of ’Conquering All Heavens’ is absolutely impossible!
He opened his mouth, as if wanting to ask something, but didn’t want to speak, fearing the questions bothering him would make him appear weak on the outside and cowardly on the inside.
Zhu Ding believed he could be killed, even shaken and stripped of his position, all traces of existence erased, but he absolutely couldn’t lose his last dignity and face.
Seeking answers from Ma Ran?
He couldn’t afford to lose face like that!
Qing Dai, standing behind Zhu Ding, was expressionless, no divine light in his eyes, silently flipping through the game files of ’All Heavens OL’ in hand.
The bodies Ma Ran created for them were weak and useless, merely burdens, adversely affecting their emotions and state of mind.
Originally, Qing Dai, having been shattered of his Divine Body, Divine Format, and Divine Soul, and left with only indomitable Will, had never wavered, even when imprisoned by Ma Ran.
But now, having been ’let out’ and given a body, he became emotionally charged, sentimental, with chaotic thoughts sprouting like weeds, endless to cut. Even watching clouds roll and unfold evoked some emotion, completely losing the grandeur and style of a Supreme Ruler overseeing everything from above.
"... Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."
Qing Dai silently mouthed the name: "Although never truly having crossed paths, he and Lord of the Red Lotus Ye Fengqing once shared the same identity, shouldn’t be easy to deal with."
No matter what Zhao Guanlan’s quality is, whether he has Supreme Ruler-level abilities or not, Ma Ran’s current actions left Qing Dai unable to comprehend.
Allowing Zhu Ding to participate in ’All Heavens OL’ as a special invited player could still be barely explained.
After all, Zhu Ding is a native born in the Sin Universe, and the position of Supreme of Destiny has not yet been stripped.
But Qing Dai and Pei Ming?
Even though Qing Dai should also have the identity of a native of the Sin Universe, with the status of Supreme of Fusion, he is ultimately an undercover raised by the Endless Plane’s collective Will.
There’s no need to mention Supreme of Space Pei Ming; though violently crushed in front-line combat by Ma Ran, he remains one of the strongest survivors in the Endless Plane.
As a player of ’All Heavens OL,’ he would surely leave the Sin Universe, descending upon All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
At that time, grabbing even the slightest chance, Pei Ming might be able to contact the Endless Plane’s collective Will, seizing the opportunity to escape and live.
Ma Ran...
Too arrogant!
"No!"
Qing Dai slightly narrowed his eyes: "For him to dare act like this, there must be a deeper intention. It’s just that I currently lack information and can’t analyze anything."
With this thought, he turned his head to look at Pei Ming hidden in the pavilion, wanting to exchange some ideas through glances, but he found the other was not looking at him, only bowing his head, appearing to seriously read the information.
"Bah! This weak and incompetent guy!"
Qing Dai was extremely dissatisfied with Pei Ming’s self-abandoning performance.
Thinking again about the Supreme of Light Lin Ke, who had sold out his information, he suddenly felt a bleak future looming before him.
The struggle between the Endless Plane and the Sin Universe, will it really end with the former’s victory?
Although the Endless Plane’s collective Will holds power and authority beyond the Supremes, its biggest problem is being too rational, indifferent, lacking in emotion. It doesn’t understand the thoughts and demands of its subordinates, simply using rewards and punishments as driving forces and connection links.
If this continues...
A major incident will occur!
Ma Ran only glanced once and understood exactly what these captives were thinking.
He did not offer any additional explanations, allowing these three Audience members to let their thoughts roam freely.
"You’ve all seen the information."
Ma Ran snapped his fingers, drawing the attention of the three prisoners: "If you have any thoughts, feel free to speak your mind."
