My Ability Is Role-playing

Of course, Ma Ran wouldn’t direct a grand play of [Prophet] VS [Profound Immortal] like the sand sculpture players said.

Just now, a flash of inspiration hit him, and he glimpsed countless possibilities for the future, vaguely getting a feeling.

Many players had once brought up the issue of procreation and nurturing descendants to the All Heavens OL customer service—this issue might become the key to changing the power balance between the Main Universe and the Endless Plane.

Whenever the official customer service of All Heavens OL faced these questions, they acted as if they were dead, giving no response whatsoever.

In this situation, the one taking the blame was naturally Zhao Guanlan.

In fact, even Ma Ran had to admit that these issues were somewhat challenging to handle.

If beings born in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds are allowed to travel to the Main Universe through All Heavens OL, it would be easy for things to get out of hand, and the situation that was hard-won would instantly become full of holes, leading to the Main Universe being infiltrated by the Endless Plane.

If it were suppressed with authority to prevent this appearance...

Even though most of the sand sculpture players are optimistic by nature and often perform miraculous operations, bringing much joy to Ma Ran, he never forgot that the players’ inherent attribute is chaos. Expecting them to have integrity is simply daydreaming.

Forcefully suppressing them might lead to a large group of players defecting to the unified will of the Endless Plane at any time.

Their combat ability is insignificant; the key is they might become coordinates and anchor points for the enemy to counterattack the Main Universe, which would be very troublesome.

Once a flaw is exposed, one cannot expect the opponent to ignore it.

However, Ma Ran was already psychologically prepared for this, finding it neither unexpected nor thinking that players, upon gaining benefits, should stand by his side and fight to the death — expecting everyone to have such ideological awareness is somewhat unrealistic.

Moreover, even if such a thing could be achieved, Ma Ran wouldn’t want to do it.

A fully mechanized, rigid, stereotypical Earth Civilization with eliminated individuality and characteristics would become stagnant, which is not the future he wants to see.

Ma Ran believes that he has gained enough benefits from All Heavens OL, using this platform to perform and elevate the [Profound Immortal] medal to the highest level, mastering the power of death. Bearing the corresponding negative impacts is only right.

As long as the mindset doesn’t slip, solutions are more than problems.

If soldiers come, the general stops them; if water comes, use earth to cover it.

"..."

Standing opposite Ma Ran, Yue Sheng, due to the shackles of his special body, had his abilities reduced to the extreme, without noticing Ma Ran’s emotional change.

Yue Sheng’s attention was all focused on the swarming players.

He didn’t want any more interactions with this group of All Heavens OL players.

Just seeing these unkillable, unbeatable existences made him nauseous, making him want to retch.

Yue Sheng simply imitated Ma Ran, keeping silent and trying hard to lower his sense of existence.

Unfortunately...

All his efforts were meaningless in front of the sand sculpture players.

Although players are friendly and courteous to Ma Ran, they also have reservations, not daring to overstep the mark.

But when it comes to teasing Yue Sheng, the longest reigning ultimate BOSS in history, players have no mental burden.

No matter whether he was once the [Endless World’s First Immortal] or if he ascended the [Supreme of Darkness] throne, now he has been tagged as a "defeated."

The clear-headed players all knew that ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of Yue Sheng’s defeat was thanks to Zhao Guanlan, but the majority just couldn’t resist the growing sense of participation within them.

The known conditions are as follows:

① Yue Sheng, as a BOSS, was defeated by the ten billion players in All Heavens OL.

② "I" = Player.

③ Yue Sheng = Supreme of Darkness.

Therefore: I defeated the Supreme of Darkness.

"Yo yo yo! Isn’t this the legendary Endless World’s First Immortal? Haven’t seen you for a few hours, and how did you suddenly fall so much?"

"I’ve gotten used to the string of titles on his head being so red they turned black. Suddenly changing to a normal pale blue is really uncomfortable."

"Caught hacking, had his account canceled on the spot, not convinced, then opened a smurf account, hoping to make a comeback, only to get caught by GMs again when he debuted... something like that?"

"Blabbering nonsense, I still say Yue Sheng fell in love with Profound Immortal, so he willingly gave himself up!"

"Is that all there is to your impoverished imagination?"

"Stop the nonsense! I have a feeling that Yue Sheng might have a hidden mission... Could someone with big brains come over and analyze it?"

"Indeed! Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, don’t miss out! Everyone, come analyze it! It might just get you an achievement with a permanent +10 Comprehension!"

"Why would anyone share anything they can analyze with you? Who do you think you are?"

"A horse won’t get fat without night grass, a man won’t get rich without windfalls. Windfalls don’t enrich the poor, night grass doesn’t fatten the tiring horse. Someone like us can only scavenge leftovers."

Some players, after chatting for a while, started to argue intensely, while others kept a blazing gaze on Yue Sheng, eyes almost glowing green like a pack of hungry wolves.

Some of them used hints, while others hit directly, employing various oratory skills trying to pry open Yue Sheng’s mouth to get the "hidden mission" from him.

All the players took turns trying but failed to achieve their goal. However, a Chinese player, by coincidence, quoted a famous line from Mencius, accidentally hitting Yue Sheng’s hidden emotional switch.

Yue Sheng frowned, muttering under his breath, repeating the player’s words: "If the ruler sees his subjects as hands and feet, then the subjects will see the ruler as soulmates; if the ruler sees his subjects as dogs and horses, then the subjects will see the ruler as countrymen; if the ruler sees his subjects as dirt and grass, then the subjects will see the ruler as enemies."

The player said these words intending to win over Yue Sheng, trying to get in good with this fallen Supreme of Darkness, perhaps hoping to get a hidden mission or a career path as a reward.

However, Yue Sheng silently put himself and the unified will of the Endless Plane into these words.

This part of Mencius is quite classic, and similar expressions have been made by many thinkers and philosophers across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Because of this, after an instinctive comparison, Yue Sheng was deeply affected.

The players, without knowing the existence of the unified will of the Endless Plane, were speaking in different terms, yet accidentally touched Yue Sheng’s key point.

At this time, Ma Ran patted Yue Sheng’s shoulder, speaking gently: "No need to rush to make a decision, you can think for a while longer."

"I’ll go post an announcement later to prevent these players from bothering you again."

These two sentences became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Feeling Ma Ran’s sincerity, Yue Sheng gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "No need."

"These players are right, a good bird chooses its perch."

"Your excellency Ma Ran, I am willing to become a specially invited player of All Heavens OL."

"Moreover..."

Though also captured and constrained, Yue Sheng’s response was entirely different from Zhu Ding, Qing Dai, and Pei Ming.

Not knowing whether he had resigned to his fate or was discontented with the unified will of the Endless Plane, he looked at Ma Ran, pondered for a long time, and then softly said: "I have some intelligence I’d like to share with you."
