Chapter 651: Chapter 645: Industrial Dominator — Extinction Hypothesis
Hearing this, Graham stood up, slightly bowing to the left and right before speaking: "As for me personally, I definitely support it."
"The ’Strongman Paradise’ plan proposed by the Prophet and the Martial God, in my view, is the best path to achieving global unity, where everyone is like a dragon, bar none!"
At this point, Graham’s eyes began to shine, his tone resonant and powerful, exuding passion as he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you haven’t realized yet that we are about to partake in a grand endeavor that can alter the entire course of human history!"
"Once Strongman Paradise is established, Earth Civilization’s risk resistance and extraordinary mobilization capabilities will be significantly enhanced, and Earth’s presence in the cosmos will no longer be insignificant!"
"Our achievements and contributions will be chronicled in history, sung by future generations for centuries to come!"
"Our deeds will also appear in various movies, novels, anime, and games, to be admired by our descendants!"
Graham, like an intern lecturer for a pyramid scheme organization, activated the ’Tower of Babel’ authority of his ’God’ superpower, allowing all attendees to easily understand his speech.
After a brief pause, Graham placed his hands on the table, speaking in a low voice, his expression serious: "I sincerely hope more people will join in the construction of Paradise!"
"During this time, I have completely taken control over the discourse in all 50 states of my country."
"Which means..." ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Not only will I be participating in the construction of ’Strongman Paradise’, I can also dispatch thirteen angels with S-level strength and over a hundred A- to A+ level Extraordinary Ones to help gather and input data!"
Although Graham still appeared to have more to say, the interim host Zhang Qianren stood up, picking up the conversation.
"Thanks to Graham for his speech. After listening to him, I feel a bit boiling with passion myself."
Zhang Qianren slightly smiled, jokingly saying: "Honestly, just thinking that in movies or TV shows decades or hundreds of years later, I might appear like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from ’Journey to the West’, makes me feel endlessly energetic."
"Well then..."
"Next is the free speech session."
"If anyone has any doubts, questions, or suggestions, please be sure to bring them up immediately."
"This way, we can promptly revise the plan and fill in the gaps."
With this, Zhang Qianren scanned the audience, seeing different expressions on the faces of international representatives, yet none showing disdain or contempt, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Please speak freely!"
With the help of auxiliary Ability Users responsible for logistics, even if not everyone possessed the ’Tower of Babel’ authority like ’God’ Gray, everyone could communicate smoothly in their respective languages or even dialects without encountering language barriers.
Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei, the initiators of the ’Strongman Paradise’ plan, had only spent half a day traveling across Earth to contact Extraordinary Ones from various countries and did not personally participate in this meeting.
Therefore...
Zhang Qianren felt immense pressure.
Despite having experienced the ups and downs of society for decades and then following Ma Ran to adventure on the Blood Mist Star, later being responsible for the construction of the Celestial Court, facing this group of the world’s top Extraordinary Ones still made him extremely nervous, with tense muscles that couldn’t relax.
Fortunately...
The Extraordinary Ones present, regardless of skin color, gender, age, or nationality, had all undergone thought testing and related trials before joining the Guardian Organization.
Everyone shared the same sacred purpose, and mutual understanding and empathy allowed them to refrain from nitpicking or making trouble, as long as it benefited the Guardianship of Earth Civilization.
Among the attendees, Zhang Qianren was one of the oldest, and since everyone came from different countries with varying cultural customs, the other participants didn’t resonate much with Zhang Qianren’s previous words, focusing instead on the ’Strongman Paradise’ construction plan they had reviewed.
"Mr. Zhang Qianren, I’ve got a general understanding of the plan content, but... Is it really possible to project some of the True God’s power from the Divine Court into Paradise, for Earthly Extraordinary Ones to refine their combat skills and willpower?"
The first to raise a question was ’Industrial Dominator’ Julius Adenauer from Germany.
Julius was a very meticulous man, rarely smiling, with behavior leaning towards the conservative. After reviewing the Strongman Paradise plan, he found some content in it to be somewhat fantastical.
Not quite a fairy tale, yet approaching a whimsical story.
If ’Strongman Paradise’ were truly to be built, wouldn’t it be akin to a "game level" existing in the real world?
Defeating monsters, acquiring experience points, leveling up.
Julius thought this sounded somewhat ludicrous.
If the plan’s initiators weren’t Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei, he wouldn’t have even bothered to take a glance at the plan.
His current attitude of skepticism was already a testament to his deep trust in the Prophet’s credibility.
Before Zhang Qianren could respond, Julius posed a second sharp question: "Moreover... Isn’t ’Strongman Paradise’ dependent on the True Gods of the Divine Court to exist?"
"If I didn’t misunderstand, the operation mechanism of Paradise is essentially about plundering... no, to be more precise, seizing the power of the Divine Court’s gods for the use of Earthlings!"
At this point, Julius sighed: "Even if those deities are slow to react, they will eventually catch on, right?"
"In the current state of Earth Civilization, even if we mobilized all our top combat power, we might not be able to defeat a random colonial squad dispatched by the Divine Court."
"Pardon my bluntness, this isn’t unwarranted anxiety or cowardice."
"The last time with the ’Six Gods of Destruction’ from the Divine Court, we all witnessed their power."
"Although all six of those deities were eventually vanquished, there are a few points I must make."
"First, those deities wore uniform attire, indicating they were a professional team. Their civilization destruction wasn’t on a whim, they were not special, just an ordinary part of a particular group."
"I believe everyone has confirmed this through various channels, so I won’t elaborate further."
"Second, the Divine Court outstrips Earth Civilization in more than just individual extraordinary power. From previous interactions, it’s inferred that their history, system, numbers, and war foundation entirely surpass ours!"
"To what extent exactly?"
"Incalculable."
"Finally, in that battle, the Prophet and the Martial God contributed at least ninety-five percent. Our collective efforts and contributions added up to just a pathetically small figure."
"While strategic planning and tactical deployment are major influencing factors within this, still..."
"Please, everyone, do not overlook the most crucial point!"
"The figures I mentioned did not account for the Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan’s involvement..."
"I apologize."
"According to simulations and projections by our scientists and data analysts, the conclusion drawn was—without the intervention of the Profound Immortal at that time, Earth Civilization would have already perished."
