Chapter 742 - 736: Come, Let You Kill Me!

Qing Dai felt utterly stifled.

He looked at Ma Ran as if he were mentally unstable, opened his mouth, but didn’t know where to start.

The prepared lines and painstakingly crafted evidence were completely dismissed by Ma Ran’s one sentence.

He wanted to refute but didn’t know where to begin.

If Ma Ran hadn’t responded with such a reckless answer, but instead tried to clear the suspicion on him, Qing Dai would have been more than ninety percent certain of leading him astray, thereby gaining control of the narrative and turning defense into offense.

But Ma Ran didn’t do that.

The sentence "The problem is, I am the True Demon" left Qing Dai utterly bewildered.

Only now did he realize that Ma Ran’s achievement wasn’t merely due to brute strength.

His strategies and calculations are hard to describe, but this ability to pierce through appearances and directly touch the essence truly made Qing Dai’s scalp tingle with anxiety.

The revival of the end times by the True Demon was, in essence, an internal issue within this universe, merely a malignancy that was difficult to heal and could spread and infect other healthy parts of the Cosmos.

But the undercover from the Endless Plane...

For this universe, it was an external enemy, akin to a neighbor eyeing you with a knife, ready to kill and rob.

Although both could eventually lead to the universe’s "death," the latter would clearly be quicker.

So, the situation is now very clear.

Even if Ma Ran were to self-destruct to perish with the undercover, for the Divine Court, finding and eliminating the undercover takes precedence over the True Demon.

"..."

Qing Dai lowered his head, remaining silent, his eyes flickering as his mind became chaotic.

Who would have thought that Ma Ran’s seemingly reckless behavior veiled such meticulous thoughts?

His seemingly suicidal response turned out to be the best and quickest way to break the impasse.

Qing Dai clenched his teeth tight, his face twisted with anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Ma Ran, seemingly abandoning all hope, with a demeanor of taking Ma Ran down with him.

But Qing Dai ultimately didn’t start a battle with Ma Ran right there.

He’s not afraid of Ma Ran, but he’s unwilling to be besieged by the other five Supreme Rulers.

Qing Dai was very aware of his current unfavorable situation.

Such a predicament couldn’t be solved through violence.

After a moment of contemplation, a flash of inspiration crossed Qing Dai’s mind, his gaze moving back and forth between Ma Ran and Mo Xing.

Finally, he spoke: "The moment Ma Ran slandered me, Mo Xing severed the communication line with me."

"Don’t you think this trust was established too conveniently?"

"And over these years, the achievements I’ve made in exterminating demon nests far surpass Mo Xing’s."

"Words are weightless, only actions hold meaning."

"The real undercover isn’t me; it’s Mo Xing!"

Qing Dai’s move to use Mo Xing as evidence was a lucky hit.

Upon hearing his words, Mo Xing’s eyelids twitched wildly, ready to break out on the spot with Ma Ran and carve a bloody path together.

However, at that moment...

Lan Xi stepped forward.

"Stop diverting the topic!"

He stared icily at Qing Dai: "I’ve also been in contact with Ma Ran before, and now I’ve severed the Divine Power link with you as well, according to your concept, am I also the undercover?"

"If it weren’t for Cang Lian, I would have perished a million years ago due to the laughable reason of ’insufficient Power of Faith.’"

Cang Lian has been a lifesaver for me."

"Even if it means death, I would never betray Cang Lian!"

"Anyone standing against the Divine Court is my enemy!"

"Even if it’s you, Qing Dai."

"If you truly did something that wronged Cang Lian, I would use every ounce of my strength to kill you, without hesitation!"

"Even if it means we perish together, I would not hesitate!"

Words filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

For a moment, the atmosphere on-site became extremely tense.

Thus, the amicable Divine Power Supreme, Golden Domain, stepped forward.

Although wanting to ease the tension, once Golden Domain spoke, it was still siding with Mo Xing: "Stop arguing, we gathered here not to quarrel, but to find the truth."

"As for Mo Xing..."

Golden Domain glanced at the Supreme of Time next to him, with an indescribable expression: "He’s always been extremely afraid of death; severing ties with you immediately is quite normal, besides..."

"Qing Dai, don’t be resentful; calm down, prove your innocence with a peaceful mind, we’re willing to listen to you. Otherwise, there would be no need for this meeting, right?"

Given that Qing Dai’s current behavior really had nothing to do with "innocence."

It was almost as if the word "suspicious" was written plainly on his face!

Although Golden Domain sided with Mo Xing, he ultimately gave Qing Dai a chance to argue.

Just as Qing Dai was about to speak, Ma Ran let out a dismissive chuckle and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The flow of time shifted.

Three thousand Light Mirrors of differing forms appeared before the supreme beings.

The debates between Ma Ran and Qing Dai were displayed in those Light Mirrors.

One glance, and you could see they depicted scenes from "the future."

Yet all the evidence was contained within!

The three thousand future timelines didn’t cover every possibility.

However, within these three thousand possibilities, Qing Dai’s identity was thoroughly exposed!

Golden Domain had originally been hesitant, but upon seeing Qing Dai’s behavior within those scenes, his inner worry and sympathy turned into full-blown fury.

He glared viciously at Qing Dai: ’Ma Ran wasn’t wrong; you traitor, truly the Supreme Ruler supported by the unified will of Endless Plane!"

Lan Xi belatedly remarked: "I kept wondering why he seemed so weird, unlike the other Supremes—now I know!"

Chi Xiao seemed to treat it all as a fun game, laughing while saying: "Everyone, act at once, don’t let Qing Dai escape!"

Mo Xing didn’t even glance at Ma Ran; just intersecting with his Power of Time made him grasp Ma Ran’s intentions, he immediately instigated: "Qing Dai, the Supreme of Fusion, from the beginning chose to create a plane himself, develop an independent world, manufacture a virtual Divine Format, and nurture gods as believers."

"Originally, I thought he was following in the path of the Divine Court, but now it’s clear—it was sheer ambition from the start, standing against us!"

Upon hearing these words, the reticent Cang Lian finally raised his eyes slightly, giving a concise command: "Capture him!"

Cornered with no room for argument, Cang Lian glared venomously at Ma Ran.

With nowhere left to flee, he ultimately resorted to turning hostile.

"A million years of endurance, ruined by you in an instant."

"Today, I must kill you!"

Ma Ran’s left hand cracked his knuckles calmly, looking at Qing Dai with a half-smile, as his right hand lightly brushed the hilt of his blade: "Come on, let you do it."
