Chapter 654 - 648: Paradise Login Device, Qualification

"Is this really something humans can achieve?"

"Those two statues, they don’t feel like simple sculptures..."

"They... are all living creatures!"

"Speaking of which, that mythical dragon looks familiar, was it borrowed from the Profound Immortal?"

"Even though its aura is stronger than before, and its body is larger, making people tremble in awe just looking at it from afar, its features are almost identical to Zhao Guanlan’s, so it must have been borrowed, no doubt about it."

"Hiss... You can even borrow that?! Isn’t Zhao Guanlan known to be a miserly Scrooge, a stingy guardian with no outflow... cough! Sorry, I misspoke."

"The Prophet’s diplomatic skills have been off the charts since they debuted, haven’t you all gotten used to it yet?"

"No matter how many times this happens, you can’t help but be amazed, right?"

Mingling with the crowd, Su Qiangwei originally intended to lighten the atmosphere, but just as she said, "This person is so terrifyingly powerful, they cannot be kept," the chaotic voices around her suddenly vanished.

The conversation went cold.

"Tch, a bunch of boring people."

Su Qiangwei pouted and stopped trying to stir things up.

Everyone then continued their previous discussion.

While observing the Strongman Paradise, they couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

The Extraordinary Ones present were actually quite well-informed and experienced.

Yet this one Strongman Paradise...

Its land area is simply enormous!

It’s practically impossible to see its boundaries at a glance!

Unless you fly high into the sky and look down, you simply can’t grasp its full view.

Just for perspective...

What Ma Ran just built before everyone, it wasn’t a city at all, just a paradise.

Even when compared conceptually, the so-called world’s largest city, Guanlan City, is only 2,100 square kilometers.

In just a few breaths of time, he effortlessly reshaped the place, building an entire city...

After a lively discussion, everyone instinctively focused their attention on Ma Ran, their expressions extremely complex.

Why did he do all the work himself and then have everyone else come over?

To make them feel involved?

It kind of insults people...

"Constructing the Strongman Paradise is just a beginning."

Ma Ran said calmly and earnestly, "Our country’s infrastructure skills over the years have been clear for everyone to see."

"If it weren’t for the time constraints, we wouldn’t even need Extraordinary Power."

"But..."

"As I said earlier."

Ma Ran took a deep breath and said seriously, "Setting up the paradise is just the first step."

"The next thing I need everyone’s help with is the most labor-intensive and dangerous part!"

"According to what I foresee with my Foreknowledge ability..."

"If none of you participate in this work, many Guardians will sacrifice themselves as a result."

"So..."

"Please, everyone!"

Hearing this, the mood of the many Extraordinary Ones present visibly improved.

It’s not just about polishing your credentials.

Can’t afford to lose face like that.

As long as you can exert your value and contribute to the mission of protecting Earth, that’s enough!

Moreover...

The ring transformed from a puppet is a true Divine Artifact. Even Extraordinary Ones who don’t practice Burning Martial can feel its enduring enhancement to their abilities in all aspects.

"Take five minutes to get familiar with the venue and choose the ’testing area’ you each prefer."

After saying this, Ma Ran noticed the Blood Arrow in the crowd, seemingly always keeping his head down.

Although the other party tried hard to keep a straight face to avoid revealing emotions, a hint of self-doubt still leaked through.

Ma Ran could roughly guess the reason.

Blood Arrow’s superpower isn’t weak. As the God of Indians, if he trains in Burning Martial properly, though his development potential isn’t very high, it’s highly specialized.

Given enough time, he might even wrestle with God Gray in the future.

But Blood Arrow’s superpower is only useful in internal conflicts, and in the current environment, it’s completely useless.

He’s typically good in internal conflicts and poor in external ones.

Not to mention confrontations with those Divine Court deities, even against outer star beings without Anglo-Saxon bloodline, the combat power he can exert is just at an ordinary middle-tier Extraordinary level.

Blood Arrow hesitated for a long time before finally grasping the access ring on his left thumb, preparing to take it off and return it.

But this attempt yielded no results.

Blood Arrow felt an invisible force preventing his actions.

He looked up to find Ma Ran was watching him.

"I..."

Blood Arrow took a deep breath, stroking the Paradise Login Device on his thumb, and then looked at Ma Ran with a slightly trembling voice, seriously saying, "My abilities are weak; I can’t contribute much in the testing phase."

"You’re a good person, and I’ve always considered you a friend I can entrust my life to."

"Your wisdom, your courage, your kindness, your conviction, they all move me."

Saying this, Blood Arrow’s voice became steady, yet his expression more solemn: "But..."

"Taking advantage of a friend would disgrace my ancestors."

"So, I’m sorry, I’ve decided to exit."

"I have no right to possess this Divine Artifact."

Hearing Blood Arrow’s words, Ma Ran slightly smiled and comforted him, "You’re wrong."

"The testing task is heavy, and the danger level is high; this doesn’t mean that the more powerful testers are more important."

"If that were true, we wouldn’t need anyone else to participate."

"Martial God and I alone could complete over ninety percent of the tasks."

"At most, with Haotian and God included, it would be enough."

Saying this, Ma Ran shifted his tone: "But that’s not the reality."

"The ultimate goal of the Strongman Paradise is to enhance the strength of all humanity, not just serve as a special venue for the top strongmen."

"The closer a combat power is to an ordinary person’s level, the more important they are in the testing phase!"

If you have a glimmer of light, let it shine.

If you have a bit of strength, exert it.

Ma Ran does not believe in destiny, only in human persistence overcoming fate!

Weakness is not a reason to give up.

No matter how slim the hope, you must try!

The cosmos is vast, and in this world, nothing is impossible!

Ma Ran glanced at Blood Arrow’s login ring and continued, "Not just you, but everyone present is worthy of these Divine Artifacts."

"I invited the Observer and the Judge not because I have a good rapport with them to give them gilding opportunities."

"In reality, their combat abilities are weaker than yours."

"Precisely because of this, in this testing mission, the Observer and the Judge’s importance surpasses yours."

"Because they are closer to the ’majority’."

Nothing is unspeakable, and Ma Ran did not lower his voice.

In the crowd, Observer Agostino and Judge Wang Shuyin’s mouths twitched, feeling annoyed.

The two exchanged a look, suddenly realizing they had many common topics.

"Brother, aren’t you unable to move freely after becoming part of the Netherworld?"

Observer Agostino suddenly noticed a blind spot and quickly approached Wang Shuyin: "Doesn’t the Netherworld collapse because you’re here?"

"Hmm... Thinking about it, it couldn’t happen."

"So, is this also the Prophet’s handiwork?"
