Chapter 611 - 605: Lucky Divine, You Have Been Chosen
[Ji] looked at the other party warily, with divine power vibrating, directly transmitting the voice to Ma Ran, a hundred miles away: "What... do you really want?"
Previously, after being brutally beaten by Zhao Guanlan, and finally taking down the summoned Blazing Red Divine Dragon, he encountered another mysterious and unfathomable strongest Extraordinary One of the Earth Civilization.
To be honest, [Ji] even doubted whether he was cursed by destiny.
Otherwise, it’s really hard to explain his bad luck.
Encountering a being of middle rank divine combat power and level is extremely improbable.
Yet, after coming to Earth, he consecutively encountered four!
The most crucial thing is...
These people are all his enemies!
If possible, [Ji] truly did not want to fight Ma Ran again.
Although Earth itself is only a medium-sized small civilization, this planet has many powerful allies.
[Sword Master] Lin Qiubai, [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan, [Demon Son] Zhang Kuang.
Any one of these three would be an adversary he could not contend with.
After witnessing part of the abilities displayed by [Lord of the Red Lotus] Ye Fengqing from the Profound Light Mirror, [Ji] had completely changed his initial thought, entirely giving up the idea of retaliating against Earth.
Perhaps among the gods, there truly are those willing to die for their idols, but he is not one of them.
To foster the idea of avenging the [Princess of Evil] and making a special trip to Earth is already the utmost effort.
To lose his life in such a remote corner of the cosmos is truly not worth it, a notion [Ji] completely cannot accept.
"..."
[Ji] noticed that Ma Ran had no intention of closing in, instead standing distantly opposite with a half-smile. Divine rage wished to crush that handsome face, but ultimately he restrained the anger and frustration within himself, speaking rapidly, "It was my mistake before! I didn’t realize Earth Civilization has numerous top powerhouses and underestimated your strength."
He appeared quite candid, speaking downright frankly, with an attitude of willingly accepting punishment: "In fact, my prior desire to avenge the [Princess of Evil] was only for the sake of benefit; avenging her could smooth out my thoughts, refine my divine power, and even use new data to optimize the divine format."
"But... it’s proven that your strength is formidable enough, and becoming enemies with you would bring losses far exceeding the benefits I can gain."
"Therefore, I hope to reconcile with you."
"To express sincerity, I can compensate with a planet of ’ordinary’ extraordinary resource density by transferring its ownership to your name!"
"How about it?"
By stating facts, reasoning, and offering compensation with a respectful attitude...
It could be said that [Ji]’s response was decent. Though not an optimal solution, it was a proper approach.
He seemed to have mentioned many things, but from the time he spoke until he finished, it took less than two seconds. Without divine power reflecting across the hundreds of miles, it would’ve been hard for him to ensure Ma Ran understood what he had just said.
After finishing his words, [Ji] gazed sincerely at Ma Ran, but instantly shivered, feeling a chill spreading throughout his body, extremely uncomfortable, even making the circulation of divine power seem somewhat unsmooth.
Because...
Ma Ran looked at him the way he would look at a "Fallen God" whose divine format shattered, with the divine body and soul smeared on the [Wall of the End] after being backfired by the power of faith.
"Damn!"
[Ji] squinted slightly, and with divine power reflecting in an instant, his divine thought could rotate tens of thousands of times in a millisecond, thinking up countless strategies and selecting the best one: "Ma Ran’s [Limited Foreknowledge] ability may have pierced through the veil of time, and glimpsed some crucial information from the future."
"He knows that even if he lets me go, reconciling with the [Divine Court] and being forgiven is impossible."
"In the end, Earth Civilization shall still perish!"
"So, rather than sparing my life and letting a tiger return to the mountain for a chance to make a comeback, better to eliminate me in this eerie place directly!"
He instantly realized that his previous statement, though theoretically no problem—after all, the highest level of deception is telling partial truths while deliberately concealing key information.
But judging by Ma Ran’s mocking expression...
He seemed to already know the higher-ups of the [Divine Court]’s attitude towards Earth Civilization.
The contradiction between the two sides is not personal grievances but rather one stemming from the antagonism between two opposing factions in interstellar warfare!
To fight until death!
[Ji] clenched his teeth, making a swift decision. He was going to launch a surprise attack, aiming to capture Ma Ran and seek an opportunity for escape by using him as a hostage.
However...
He sorrowfully found that his divine body seemed entirely unresponsive to commands.
No!
It wasn’t just the divine body!
Even the divine power contained within the divine format could not be drawn at all.
They seemed like solidified amber, absolutely untouchable!
Everything between heaven and earth appeared to pause at that very moment.
"This is... a time pause!"
[Ji] subconsciously tried to widen his eyes but realized he couldn’t move his divine body an inch; only by consuming Faith Power Crystals could he barely vibrate his divine soul, sending thoughts to the distant Ma Ran: "Is Ye Fengqing aiding you?"
"Why?"
"On what grounds?"
Although at first glance, Ma Ran and Ye Fengqing both wielded the power of time, with the former able to observe the future and pierce through the quantum fog of time, and the latter capable of pausing the flow of time, there is a fundamental difference between the two.
In many extraordinary civilizations, there are similar professions to Prophets, and [Ji] considers those prophets’ essence to be akin to Ma Ran, only their success rate and accuracy of prophecy are a bit inferior.
Whereas the means demonstrated by Ye Fengqing...
To be able to manipulate time at will, turning the river of time into creations in the palm of her hand, with history, present, and future dancing between her fingers!
Why would such a magnificent existence stand side by side with Ma Ran? Why would she assist him?
"[Lord of the Red Lotus] Your Holiness! I have something to say!"
[Ji], as if imprisoned in air gel, struggled madly, yet his divine body remained motionless.
But he did not give up.
His divine thought continued vibrating madly, trying hard to convey his will: "Why should a grand being like you become enemies with the [Divine Court] over a medium-sized small civilization like Earth? Whatever Ma Ran can offer you, the [Divine Court] can give, and manyfold!"
Nobody paid him any mind.
This made [Ji] feel like a clown.
Even so, a strong instinct to survive still drove him to seek a way out.
In the blink of an eye...
No, such a description is inaccurate.
For time was not flowing, and [Ji] couldn’t even blink.
In that very moment, Ma Ran’s figure suddenly appeared before [Ji], seemingly employing a supernatural ability of heavenly distance.
Ma Ran looked at him serenely: "Fortunate deity, you have been chosen by me."
"Open your divine soul and divine format, become my servant."
"You shall gain the qualification to survive."
[Ji] ultimately is a middle-rank god, valuable as an audience. If not for the irreconcilable contradiction and enmity between the two, Ma Ran was reluctant to immediately eradicate him.
If a way could be left in his divine format and divine soul for control, subjugating him as he did Third Prince of Chuanke, Adam, and keeping him as a [Fixed Audience], it would be the optimal outcome.
