Chapter 750 - 744: Lord of the Red Lotus Medal! Patching the Past!
Ma Ran kept mentioning the idea of a "True Demon" from the beginning until now. Cang Lian pretended not to hear and didn’t take it to heart at all.
Matters have priorities. When facing the grand enemy of the Unified Will of the Endless Planes, Cang Lian knew well what should be done first and what later.
As for the reason Ye Fengqing used the Three-in-One Divine Techniques against Qing Dai just now, there could be countless possibilities.
Creating a deception, causing either the Unified Will of the Endless Planes or it to misjudge.
Or perhaps the Sword Master, Prophet, and Lord of the Red Lotus jointly researched some mysterious method that can communicate and stack supreme combat power.
In any case, it couldn’t be due to Ye Fengqing’s lack of power.
Cang Lian gathered his thoughts and focused his gaze on Ye Fengqing.
This Lord of the Red Lotus, the origin of his power...
It’s simply too overwhelming.
Purely looking at the strength of this origin, it’s three times stronger than a normal Supreme Ruler!
With this thought, Cang Lian looked toward Ma Ran, who wasn’t far away.
As for this Prophet...
His realm comprehension definitely reaches the standard, but his energy response is only one-tenth of a conventional Supreme Ruler’s.
Perhaps this Prophet in front is just a thought avatar of Ma Ran?
Cang Lian shook his head.
The things he said just now were merely attempts to extract some intelligence from Ma Ran.
After all, Ye Fengqing had clearly not used full strength in dealing with Qing Dai just now.
That easy-going manner was just shy of saying, "I don’t need any trump cards to kill you."
Arrogance aside, at least he didn’t mess up and truly smashed Qing Dai to pieces.
In Cang Lian’s view, Ma Ran was not wrong.
Smashing Qing Dai to pieces does not mean everything is settled.
This battle was like a fuse, igniting the flames of war across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
The war between the Main Universe and the Endless Planes is just beginning.
In the brutal planar war, if one can’t immediately determine who is enemy and who is ally, the end could be tragic.
After all...
For the past million years, the Main Universe has been on the defensive side, barely resisting external invasions, seemingly at a disadvantage.
In such circumstances, even as a Supreme Ruler, Cang Lian wasn’t sure he could definitely be the last survivor.
Before this great war ends, Earth and Cangming must be drawn together as two powerful forces!
To achieve victory, the Earth-Ming-Divine camp must cast aside prejudices and work together with complete sincerity.
"..."
Ma Ran looked at Cang Lian’s stiff smile, feeling this guy probably hadn’t smiled in a million years, although his appearance was decent, his smile was uglier than crying.
This performance’s result should definitely not be just Qing Dai’s legacy.
The Supreme of Fusion’s status is a windfall, while the Divine Breeding World counts as a mere appendage.
Zhu Ding gained a little partner.
However, Ma Ran thought Qing Dai might not exist in this form for long.
After all, as an undercover sent by the Unified Will of the Endless Planes, Ma Ran couldn’t guarantee no hidden backup was left.
Eliminate it as soon as possible to eradicate future troubles permanently!
When capable, Ma Ran never hesitated to deliver the final blow.
Next, as long as a Qualified holder of the Supreme of Fusion status can be found in the vast Cosmos to seize Qing Dai’s status, it can be entirely annihilated and cease to exist.
More than anything, this time’s play feedback is what Ma Ran truly anticipated.
After a round of play, the feedback progress bar had soared to about ninety-five percent, just one last step away.
With a slight thought, Ma Ran looked at Ye Fengqing not far away.
After eliminating the Supreme of Fusion Qing Dai, the Lord of the Red Lotus did not show any emotion resembling joy.
As if it was just the most ordinary thing to do.
Ma Ran said in a deep voice, "This way of dealing with it was still too dangerous."
The Supreme Rulers of the Golden Domain, Lan Xi, Cang Lian, Chi Xiao, and Mo Xing all immediately understood he meant Ye Fengqing’s method of "devouring" Qing Dai just now.
Even in the eyes of these Divine Court Controllers, such a response was indeed too risky.
Using one’s own divine techniques to obliterate and digest the enemy, it’s all or nothing—clearly, there were safer methods with a lower risk factor.
But Ye Fengqing remained calm as usual, as if everything was under control, and said clearly, "Penetrate past, present, and future, calculate all the world’s variables, and nothing unexpected will occur."
"The method is just an appearance, no need to be concerned."
"This matter being over, I shall take my leave."
With those words, she flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Ma Ran shook his head and waved to Cang Lian and the other Supreme Rulers: "Remember to inform me of any intelligence, I will pass it to the other four."
Saying that, he also faded and disappeared, leaving the area.
Golden Domain, Chi Xiao, and Lan Xi expressed their feelings one after another.
"The Prophet and Lord of the Red Lotus are both very strong..."
"Especially Ye Honglian, her mastery of time and manipulation of techniques is no less than Mo Xing."
"Just by combat power alone, she might even surpass him."
Hearing this, Mo Xing had a sudden inspiration and offered an assist: "I don’t recommend falling out with her. Although in terms of Time Law, Ye Fengqing is not stronger than I am, in an actual fight along the timeline, she could kill me!"
"You’ve all seen the outcome of Qing Dai. I don’t want to be stubborn!"
"Those who want to fight her can go ahead!"
"This Lord of the Red Lotus, I can’t provoke!"
What is called an assist?
This is it.
Mo Xing did the best a supporting actor could do.
Hearing these words, Cang Lian’s mind stirred slightly.
On the Earth Battle Power Index Ranking, 3.1 Extreme Combat Power...
The Prophet, Sword Master, Lord of the Red Lotus...
Supreme powers lending and utilizing each other, Ma Ran’s avatar with only a tenth of supreme energy...
All the clues were linked together, and the result became clear.
Ye Fengqing is very strong, not to an exaggerated extent as people thought, and her status is mysterious, but she is indeed a supreme combat power.
...
On Earth, at Grass Hut Academy.
In the dorm room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor of the boys’ dormitory.
In Ma Ran’s vision, Ye Fengqing’s Time Stop Territory, Ye Fengqing’s Timeless Territory, and Ye Fengqing’s Time Reversal Territory medals all appeared.
The three medals gradually fused together, sublimating into a brand-new medal.
On the medal shining with golden brilliance, a new pattern was carved—a magnificent female giant stepping on a Blazing Fire Red Lotus, holding a Myriad Laws Halberd, surrounded by starlight.
A single starlight represented a world, seemingly with endless planes rising and falling around her.
Thus, the Lord of the Red Lotus medal was finally completely synthesized!
"Phew..."
Ma Ran let out a breath, a hint of a smile spreading in his eyes: "This time, while the Main Universe’s Will is busy contending with the Endless Plane Unified Will, it hasn’t paid attention to the dynamics here..."
Otherwise, the play ability might have given feedback long ago.
The Lord of the Red Lotus medal retained the basic abilities of the Ye Fengqing series’ three major medals, significantly raising the strength and priority of these time abilities.
By this moment, Ma Ran could already synchronize and coordinate the timelines of the past and present.
It sounds complicated, but in practice...
It’s very simple.
With a thought, Ma Ran fully stimulated the multiplication power of the Lord of the Red Lotus medal.
He began to tackle some of the "certain death scenarios" he had encountered before.
For example...
During his first clash with Golden Domain and Lan Xi, at that point in time, Ma Ran’s combat power was undoubtedly a dead end.
But in this process...
Now, Ma Ran, using the Power of Time, with the powers of the Lord of the Red Lotus, Sword Master, and Prophet, protected his past self in the fatal scenario, preventing Golden Domain and Lan Xi from forming the thought of "pursuing relentlessly".
For instance...
The reenactment of the Time Line Restart before rebirth did not need any adjustments in the roles of the protagonists and supporting characters.
All Ma Ran needed to do was let the aura three times that of an ordinary Supreme Ruler explode on his past self, which would alarm enough high-quality spectators.
While these tasks were tedious, they were also necessary.
Like taking a loan to buy a house or car, enjoying it in advance, but still having to repay the mortgage afterward.
However, with the powerful multiplication ability of the Lord of the Red Lotus medal, repayment only took an instant.
He didn’t even need to pay any cost; on the contrary, in this process, he could further explore his capabilities and become more adept at controlling the power of the new medal.
After eliminating all potential factors on the "past" timeline that could lead to "bad endings", Ma Ran secretly used Burning Shadow and Concept Annihilation divine techniques to straighten out all logical paradoxes and tangled cause-and-effect lines, filling all operational flaws and shortcomings since the "second round".
In short, Ma Ran had filled all the gaps in his past actions.
For a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, a relaxed expression appearing on his face.
By now, Ma Ran finally understood that past coincidences and lucky escapes were always inevitable.
With this, the past is no longer a hindrance, and one must set sights on the future to make a great impact in the present world!
...
The next day, Beijing time, at 5:35 AM.
A notice from the Divine Court echoed across Earth and Cangming Star.
"After friendly negotiations with the Prophet and Lord of the Red Lotus, the Divine Court has decided to form an alliance with Earth and Cangming, sharing resources and intelligence, advancing and retreating together, and mutually watching out for each other to confront many powerful enemies from the Otherworld."
After absorbing this message, Su Qiangwei appeared in Ma Ran’s bedroom at the first moment...
