My Ability Is Role-playing

"Didn’t see it? Never mind."

Jin Yu patiently said, "I’ve uploaded the full live recording of the cause and effect. If you’re interested, you can take a look."

Led by him, the upper rank gods scattered throughout the cosmos engaged in a heated discussion about the brief conflict between the Dragon Civilization and Earth.

"I’ve watched it. This Sword Master Lin Qiubai, isn’t he too strong? It feels like his power level could give me a run for my money."

"Another lucky one recognized by the universe’s will?"

"Not necessarily, we won’t know until we check."

"One strike, kill and then leave. I like this style."

"He has the ability to destroy the Dragon Civilization, yet he didn’t do it. He’s very cautious."

"That move All Enemies Slain is practically a concept-level group annihilation technique. Could he be on the path of destruction enlightenment?"

"Not likely."

"We can’t even find Cangming Star, let alone the Red Lotus Star System. Never even heard of them."

"Could such a thing be possible?"

The Divine Court rules the cosmos. Even if a new civilization is born every second in the universe, none can escape the eyes of the seven upper rank gods.

Yet Cangming Star and the Red Lotus Star System were unknown to them.

All this information comes from Earth!

Within the channel, the seven upper rank gods remained silent for a long time.

After a moment, Zhu Ding confidently said, "Fate tells me Cangming is the Demon Prison!"

A god immediately chimed in, "Makes sense. Although Lin Qiubai hides it well, he has traces of the Demon Nest’s scent. With such combat power, even if he’s not a True Demon, he’s certainly related."

Lan Xi sighed.

Indeed...

Delving deeper, who is closest to Sword Master Lin Qiubai?

The answer is none other than one.

Earthling, Prophet Ma Ran.

The upper rank god Mo Xing, who controls the power of time, sarcastically taunted, "Zhu Ding, isn’t fate your echo?"

"Whatever result you want, fate will respond accordingly."

"Its accuracy isn’t even as good as an ordinary person’s sixth sense!"

"Too subjective."

"What you just said is like me saying ’time will prove who is right or wrong’ — it has no persuasive power at all."

Lan Xi’s expression was complicated and remained silent.

Originally, there was some suspicion that Ma Ran could be the mysterious True Demon. Hearing the other upper rank gods’ discussion, although he did not speak, his inner perception unexpectedly deepened.

He even suspected that the reason for Cangming Star’s peculiarity was due to Ma Ran’s backstage maneuvering.

After all, according to the information Lan Xi gathered from Earth, there were three others whose positions were similar to Cangming’s first overlord, Sword Master Lin Qiubai!

Devil Child Zhang Kuang, Lord of the Red Lotus Ye Fengqing, Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan!

The worst possibility is that all four of them possess combat power matching the upper rank gods!

Including Ma Ran, it would be a terrifying force comprised of five upper rank gods.

As for that enigmatic Game Main God Xuan...

Although his appearance is similar to Zhao Guanlan’s, the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, Lan Xi preliminarily judged, based on his own information, that the fellow was not an indigenous life form of this universe.

The term "Main God" comes from alternate planes.

Before the establishment of the Divine Court, Lan Xi had seen some visitors from alternate planes, including Main Gods, Divine Kings, Divine Emperors, and the like.

They arrived in this universe as if escaping, initially very arrogant, each wanting to rule a domain and rebuild their strength using this universe as a base.

But...

Those guys, their names sounded imposing, were easily shattered in Lan Xi’s view, weak as ants.

Divine Kings or Divine Emperors, a snap could wipe out a bunch.

Pathetically weak!

Game Main God Xuan...

The identity and origin of this fellow Lan Xi merely guessed without evidence to support his speculation.

This is not important.

In Lan Xi’s eyes, Xuan’s priority was far lower than the four Cangming overlords.

Zhu Ding, with a confident tone as usual, said, "Mo Xing, you’re wrong."

"Fate tells me that Sword Master is definitely concealing his strength."

"When we face off against him, he will undoubtedly show power far beyond what we see today."

The upper rank god Qing Dai, appearing before others as a feminine figure, sided with Zhu Ding, saying softly, "I can sense that All Enemies Slain is not Lin Qiubai’s entirety."

"The killing of the Dragon Emperor only revealed the tip of the iceberg."

"He was too relaxed and composed."

"Dealing with the Dragon Civilization, he handles it with ease without exerting full effort."

"So..."

"Should we change the plan, adjust the priorities, and preemptively eliminate the past Controllers of the Cangming Star like the [Sword Master]?"

Zhu Ding immediately responded: "Of course! It’s not just the Cangming Star; Earth should be destroyed as well, as they are both hidden threats!"

Just as Lan Xi was about to speak, the Golden Domain voiced its opinion.

"The part Zhu Ding mentioned, ’Cangming is the Demon Prison,’ I accept."

"But..."

"To launch a full-scale attack without even knowing where the enemy’s main base is..."

"That’s not courage, that’s recklessness."

"I do not support this proposal!"

Lan Xi immediately agreed: "Nor do I."

The six Upper Rank Gods were in continuous dispute, forming two factions.

The Golden Domain, Lan Xi, and Mo Xing expressed that before the fight, thorough preliminary investigation must be done to avoid acting rashly.

Qing Dai, Zhu Ding, and Chi Xiao believed in launching a full-scale attack immediately, not giving the [Cangming·Earth] camp time to develop, as this would give them a higher chance of success.

It was a three to three tie.

Finally, a cold, clear young voice rang in the gods’ ears

"Regarding the strategy towards the [Earth·Cangming Star] camp, I believe the Divine Court should temporarily adopt a conservative strategy."

Lan Xi immediately responded: "Cang Lian, I hear your advice!"

Among the seven Upper Rank Gods in the Divine Court, aside from Him, probably only Cang Lian had some understanding of Ma Ran’s combat power.

Back during the time surrounding the [Yinghuang Star disappearance event], among the Upper Rank Gods, Cang Lian was the most concerned with the "Burning Martial" manuscript that traveled through time and the [Prophet] Ma Ran.

Lan Xi even suspected that the conversation with Ma Ran after descending to Earth was witnessed and heard by Cang Lian.

Mo Xing and the Golden Domain remained silent instead, falling into a contemplative silence.

They knew, even if not calculating by the votes, after this statement, any issue was pretty much decided.

Even though Qing Dai, Chi Xiao, and Zhu Ding were displeased, the minority had to follow the majority, so there was nothing much to argue about. They just casually mocked a few words.

"Even with a conservative strategy, we at least need to test things out."

"We cannot allow a highly threatening enemy to develop freely."

"Speaking of which, I keep thinking about eliminating the Demon Nest quickly, clearing the karma, and obtaining the pass to leave this Universe."

Cang Lian’s cold voice arose again: "Okay."

"Then..."

"Next, let Chi Xiao be responsible for testing the [Earth·Cangming Star] camp."

"The rest should do their due parts, reinforce the defense lines, and try to avoid the connection between various Demon Nests."

Strategies can be adjusted; the specific actions of the Divine Court depend on the strength of the opposing forces.

At this point, the Golden Domain seemed somewhat at a loss: "It should be better if I go, right?"

"Even if the enemies are unexpectedly strong, I won’t fall, ensuring a higher safety margin."

Among the seven Upper Rank Gods, the Golden Domain was quite a special one.

He was not purely a god of the Divine Format System—in fact, none of the Upper Rank Gods could be narrowly defined with "Divine Format System’s pinnacle extraordinary individual." To reach this level, besides gaining the Universal Will’s recognition, they had to forge their unique paths.

Back when attaining the Upper Rank Format, the Golden Domain abandoned the Power of Faith, taking the path of Merit Dao certification, and nine-tenths of the main gods, Divine Kings, and Divine Emperors from alternate planes perished at His hands.

Any individual attempting to kill the Golden Domain would face a warning and rejection from the Universal Will.

Among the seven Upper Rank Gods, the Golden Domain’s combat power wasn’t the strongest, but His survival ability was the highest.

Any life form living in this world, even a True Demon, likely wouldn’t want to be despised by the Universal Will.

After all...

Even if it leads to the ultimate revival causing the Universe to die, when the next cycle arrives, the Universal Will remains the same, and any existence despised by it, even those powerful everlasting beings, could only struggle to survive while barely hanging on.

Within the communications channel, Chi Xiao chuckled and said: "Qing Dai, Zhu Ding, I’ll be the vanguard to Earth for you guys now."

Lan Xi’s eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

He was a bit confused now, instinctively wanting to balance the power comparison between the Divine Court and the Demon Nest, but this didn’t mean he should be holding back.

Sighed softly

...

Earth, Strongman Paradise, At the top of the central Main Control Tower.

The screen showed Su Qiangwei ripping through the divine projection in front of her with a halberd, cheerfully heading towards the Main Control Tower.

Ma Ran turned off the screen, his eyes slightly twitching.

After the previous series of enactments, the feedback progression bar of the [play] ability had been moving sluggishly, but now it was instantly filled!

"The group of Upper Rank Gods standing at the top of the Universe have started to pay attention to the Cangming Star..."

As his mind wandered rapidly, Ma Ran understood the composition of the [audience] this time.

He noticed that the half-golden, half-silver [Sword Master] medal in the medal repository gradually began to shine with pure golden brilliance.

The [Sword Master] medal advanced!
