Chapter 648: Chapter 642: Humanity · Appropriate Label
Su Qiangwei’s expression became serious: "Important information... related to the Divine Court?"
"Yes, but not entirely."
Ma Ran spoke, curled his fingers, and lightly tapped on the table.
At the same time, a silver-blue fluorescent screen appeared in front of Su Qiangwei, visible only to her.
This was Ma Ran using the [Prophet System] to present the "Doomsday Resurgence: Demon Nest List" directly in front of her.
Possessing the [Speed Reading] superpower, Su Qiangwei only needed a sideways glance and took less than thirty milliseconds to thoroughly read through the contents of this information and completely comprehend it.
"Demon Nest..."
The girl’s brow furrowed slightly: "To think that this list is automatically generated by a stone?"
In Su Qiangwei’s view, that purple jade stone was equivalent to a supercomputer, seemingly running some kind of program automatically to filter out "Demon Nests" from various civilizations in the cosmos, but in reality, there was a mastermind behind it.
Or rather...
A programmer.
That purple jade stele couldn’t possibly be something that naturally existed since the beginning of the Big Bang, could it?
"Can’t be sure."
Ma Ran’s voice was calm, his demeanor relaxed: "The good news is, there are many civilizations on this list whose ’threat level’ is far higher than that of the Earth Civilization."
"Moreover..."
"After this trip to the Divine Court, I have seen many things and gained quite a bit."
"The elevation of the upper limit of ’Burning Martial’ is just a trivial part of it."
Indeed, the two consecutive advancements in "Burning Martial" greatly enhanced Ma Ran’s overall strength, and the emergence of [Bright Star Gaze] turned many previous accumulations into direct gains, allowing him to retreat safely with other trump cards and erase all traces even when his tier realm was far below the Upper-Rank God Golden Domain.
But...
Compared to the first Pure Gold Medal [Prophet], these gains can only be described as unremarkable, not worth mentioning.
After all...
The derivative ability "Burning Shadow" brought by the [Prophet] Medal not only gave Ma Ran the power and confidence to face upper-rank gods directly but also provided him with means to reverse strategic situations!
In Ma Ran’s view, the appearance of the [Prophet] Medal was equivalent to a country developing nuclear weapons at the end of World War II, instantly gaining the ability to dominate the field.
No...
This analogy is inappropriate.
Considering the current cosmic environment, for the entire Earth Civilization...
The emergence of the [Prophet] Medal was like the dragon’s roar in 1964 over Lop Nur in Xinjiang, resounding through the skies and reverberating through the clouds!
With just this [Prophet] Medal, the Earth Civilization could sweep away the decline when facing the Divine Court and completely reverse the situation!
Not to say it can completely defeat the opponent, at least it provides the most basic ability to resist.
Because...
It represents not only force but also deterrence!
As long as Ma Ran, at the right time and place in the interstellar war to come, uses this power in appropriate ways, the Earth Civilization would no longer need to be timid or fearful when facing the Divine Court, finally obtaining the ability to voice and even contend for rightful interests!
How exciting that is!
It’s a pity that there weren’t many spectators on site for such an important strategic milestone event, and Ma Ran’s special ability made it impossible for him to explain this matter clearly or leave a video recording.
Otherwise, not even a hundred or a thousand years later, but just ten or twenty years from now, many people might silently pull out the fuel-inspired clips from this period when facing life’s setbacks, get pumped up, and post a barrage like "Listen to the dragon’s roar."
The worst and least favorable outcome would also strive for a conclusion of "mutual disregard, peaceful development, and extraordinary equipment."
160,000 years ago, what the Chuanke Civilization could achieve...
Ma Ran believed he could achieve it too, and even better.
This confidence or rather arrogance had been repressed for too long.
For Ma Ran, it’s the simplest thing to go head-to-head with the enemy and perish together in a heated moment.
Ma Ran has never lacked the courage to do so, the harshness in his bones has always applied not only to others but even more so to himself.
Suppressing the confidence, arrogance, and pride from deep within his bones is something called a "sense of responsibility."
The [Prophet] Medal gave Ma Ran a sense of optimism, sweeping away the haze, bringing clarity after the rain, and making the whole world seem fresh, leaving him in an extremely pleasant and refreshed mood.
"..."
Su Qiangwei was at a loss for words, wanting to tease him a bit, but didn’t know where to start.
Leaving Earth and going to the [Divine Court] for a few days, his "Burning Martial" cultivation realm advanced by two tiers, and in his eyes, these are just trivial gains...
Such words could only come out of Ma Ran’s mouth.
Truth be told, she had somewhat gotten used to Ma Ran’s "Versailles" behavior.
Through successive setbacks, she had developed a certain resistance to it.
Indeed, Ma Ran’s talent and charm could be described as demonic, and even when adding the third to tenth ranked Extraordinary Ones together, they might not be able to compare to him.
But...
Master Qiangwei never gives up!
The cosmos is so vast, as long as she doesn’t give up, one day she can surpass Ma Ran!
The girl placed her hands on the dining table, took two deep breaths, and quickly adjusted her emotions.
Although she didn’t know Ma Ran’s mental journey, she knew Ma Ran too well, just a slight change in tone made her immediately feel the confidence and ease almost overflowing from him.
"Speaking of which, the superpower we awakened through the Victory Stone comes from this so-called No. 3 Demon Nest, right?"
"Superpowered Civilization, also known as Human Race Civilization."
"They say we Earthlings are a subspecies of the Superpowered Civilization?"
"Based on what?"
At this point, Su Qiangwei regained her senses, feeling a bit dissatisfied.
"They are the Human Race, we are humans..."
"Why not just translate it to humanoid?"
"Feels like we’re inexplicably looked down upon."
The girl sighed, feeling that the data she just read had too many unreasonable points.
"Let’s not even mention the No. 1 Demon Nest replaced by question marks, I think at the end, it would be really interesting if those question marks become [Divine Court]."
"Let’s see if they will take action to eliminate themselves then!"
"...to be honest, this Demon Nest list makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"How is Earth Civilization cruel? That label is not appropriate at all!"
Sitting directly across from the girl, Ma Ran did not immediately respond.
He pondered for a long time before speaking softly: "Whether humans or the Human Race, it’s just a name." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"As long as we eliminate other ’human’-related civilizations, these disputes will naturally disappear; it’s not worth investing too much effort in discussing who is more authentic, who is the source."
"Additionally..."
"Earth being on this list and labeled as ’cruel’ is actually quite reasonable."
