Chapter 758 - 752: Hundredfold Talent · The One Closest to Truth

Although Zheng Jiang had cheats to back him up, reaching his current realm was not without countless trials and overcoming numerous formidable foes. He was well-versed, experienced, and knowledgeable.

However, when he recalls the description and portrayal of Ma Ran in the comics, he feels a chill run down his spine, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"With the Divine Emperor as his henchman."

"With the Immortal King as his Alchemy Boy."

"With the Buddha as his Missionary Devotee."

"His thoughts reflecting on the All Heavens, perceiving the essence of the Endless Plane."

"In one thought, creating and destroying countless multiverses."

It’s utterly absurd for a monstrosity like Ma Ran to appear in the real world!

Initially, Zheng Jiang thought that after years of enduring hardship, he finally cultivated to the "Demon God Tier," akin to a level 99 big shot, on the verge of reaching full level in hiding.

Yet unexpectedly, he accidentally encountered a level 1000 BOSS...

"How the fuck am I supposed to fight this?"

With a tingling scalp, Zheng Jiang looked at his struggling allies, his lips moved slightly, but he didn’t know where to start.

Words like "We can’t win, just wait for death" could never come out of Zheng Jiang’s mouth, no matter the time and place.

Giving up meant betraying yourself.

In an instant, Zheng Jiang’s thoughts raced, his Divine Thought vibrating.

He immediately activated his Divine Techniques, splitting his one millisecond into 330,000 parts for use while accelerating his thoughts a hundred million times, pulling all his temporary allies into his thought channel in a blink.

"I am Zheng Jiang, and I have important information to share. After the first encounter, everyone should already know the extent of the enemy’s power, so... I’ve already uploaded this "Earth Chronicles" story to this temporary chat group. Everyone, please finish reading it quickly in this accelerated thought Domain and share your opinions!"

Almost instantly after the words were spoken, other otherworldly invaders’ voices resonated in the newly created temporary chat group.

"Finished reading! This "Arcane Tyrant" story... are you serious?"

"Though reluctant to admit it, Ma Ran in "Earth Chronicles" is very likely to be this formidable enemy before us."

"Oh? You’re no longer calling them natives?"

"Respecting your opponent is respecting yourself. I never hesitate to show respect to the strong, whereas you waste precious time taunting colleagues, do you have a foolproof plan?"

"You’re overestimating me. If the story in "Earth Chronicles" is the true past and future, then Ma Ran is monstrously powerful. Even ’Demon’ isn’t enough to describe him!"

"Whew... Now it’s clear. He borrowed the power of the Cangming Sword Master Lin Qiubai to cut off the concept that ’Earth Humans can be killed by otherworldly beings,’ leading to the current situation."

"Under these circumstances, we can only surrender."

"Don’t you care about your pride?"

"What good is pride? Does it keep you alive?"

"Submit? I didn’t struggle to cultivate to this level just to be someone’s dog!"

Zheng Jiang knew very well that the master-servant relationship between top-level Extraordinary Ones is not as simple as in the mundane world.

In most cases, once established, this relationship cannot be changed forever.

Everyone present is a Giant that laughs at the Cosmos and roams the All Heavens, who’s not a bit prideful at heart?

Who willingly bows to others easily?

Even if there’s less than a ten percent chance of success, someone would rather risk their life to try and fight!

After a brief silence in the temporary chat group, new messages began to appear rapidly, refreshing.

"My bones are too hard, my knees too stiff, I can’t bend down or kneel."

"I’ve always had good luck, maybe this time I can turn danger into safety, seize a path to life, and break through to a higher realm!"

"Then you two can only wait for death! Do you really think that after leaving your world, you’ll still have great fortune and be favored by destiny?"

"How about making a three-hundred-year pact with Ma Ran? See if you can defeat him after cultivating for three hundred years?"

"Weakness is a mistake! If you make a mistake, you admit it, and you pay the price!"

"Hulu Immortal Monarch, you’re too honest; that’s not a good thing. Do you really think they will be stubborn to the end? You’re wrong! They’re just using Oratory Skill to trick some cannon fodder to step on the minefield!"

"Stop scheming against each other! Play dumb and pretend ignorance; it’s meaningless. Right now, only unity and cooperation can break through the predicament, escape alive!"

Zheng Jiang observed for a long time, realizing that all group members are prodigies, a bit clever, but scarcely any could consider the bigger picture. Finally, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Alright! Everyone stop talking!"

"Since everyone lacks strategic awareness and a sense of the overall situation, let me take the lead!"

"I, Zheng Jiang, Transmigrator, have a System!"

"The "Earth Chronicles" just mentioned, comes from my "All Heavens Comics System."

"However, I had a falling out with that dog system from the start, mutual dislike, so I remained cautious. When about to break through to the "Divine Demon Tier," I caught a flaw and shattered the system directly."

"What dogshit mission rewards, failure penalties! If the system doesn’t give them, Laozi will take them myself!"

Zheng Jiang changed his tone, coldly said: "The situation is urgent, fighting on our own will lead to being defeated one by one; I don’t believe you don’t understand this truth, you’re just unwilling to suffer losses!"

"The ’individual’ on Earth... is absurdly powerful, I have no confidence to defeat him alone."

"I’ve shown my sincerity; now, who will be the second ’sacrifice,’ willingly share secrets, and seek an opportunity to break the deadlock?"

Zheng Jiang knew very well that his temporary allies were extraordinary, each harboring their own secrets.

Eight one-hundred-thousandths of a millisecond later, a message lit up in the group.

"I was born in a small world, just a small genius in a city."

"Later, I discovered that the family heirloom contained the Soul of an old grandfather. He consumed my Energy, reawakened, and to repay me, bestowed a unique Inscription called "Hundredfold Talent!"

"By tempering my body once, I gain the experience of a hundred temperings!"

"By circulating the Combat Spirit Qi one circulation, it’s equivalent to cultivating a hundred circulations!"

"One enlightenment is equivalent to a hundred enlightenments!"

The information in this statement is quite substantial.

The temporary chat group took some time to digest, eventually realizing that the old grandfather mentioned was once a Giant traversing the Endless Plane, titled "The One Closest to Truth," almost proving the Supreme path, just a step away from becoming the Supreme Ruler!

The prestige was quite high.

But compared to Ma Ran...

Incomparable.

Zheng Jiang didn’t even dare mention Ma Ran’s name in the chat group, fearing the other might sense it, and a mere glance could "kill" him.

In the late parts of "Earth Chronicles," an ultimate big shot once ripped through the timeline, attempting to cross to the past and kill Ma Ran in the crib, but...

A flurry of operations fierce as a tiger turned out to be utterly useless.

In the comics, the scheming ultimate big shot couldn’t survive past a Chapter under Ma Ran’s counterattack.

Because the river of time had already become Ma Ran’s toy.

Ma Ran could bind the timeline at will, existing simultaneously in the past, present, and future.

All malicious thoughts could be perceived concurrently and instinctively counterattacked.

In other words...

Ma Ran never had a "weak phase before growing up."
