Chapter 606 - 600: Mastering Time! Red Lotus Territory!
"I understand what you mean."
Liu Mei of Ye Fengqing arched slightly, as if after some contemplation. She looked at Ma Ran with a complex expression and said leisurely, "Although we are allies, confronting the [Divine Court] now will seriously affect the development of Cangming."
Her gaze swept over Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, Gray, and Zhang Qianren. After examining them for a moment, her sight shifted across the venue like the blade of the Myriad Laws Halberd.
Blood Arrow, Julius Adenauer, Tegnev...
Park Yong-jun, Jin Yina, Wang Shuyin...
Ogata Shitou, Zhou Yu, Agostino, William, Bradley...
The National Guardian-level ability users from various countries around the world felt as if they were being hacked in the face with a Mountain-Crushing Axe when her eyes swept over them. In an instant, they broke out into a cold sweat, and goosebumps rose on their arms. Their hearts pounded wildly, and the chaotic thoughts and unnecessary worries and fears in their minds were instantly cleared away.
"However..."
Ye Fengqing’s lips curved slightly, sketching a clean smile, as she changed the subject and said, "If we regard Earth as a reserve talent base..."
"This level of investment is acceptable."
Barrage flew by in the livestream room.
"???"
"Did I miss some important conversation? Why do I feel like I totally don’t understand?"
"Secret Transmission, a little trick, understand?"
"Got it, got it."
"You understand nothing! The [Prophet] already saw through everything. He knows that although Earth and Cangming Star are nominally allied, the [Divine Court] is too strong. It’s impossible to have Cangming Star come and work for free under the guise of righteousness. They won’t fall for moral coercion, so they talk benefits right from the start! Understand?"
"Wow! So complicated! Totally can’t understand!"
"Brain is a good thing, pity I don’t have one! Can some handsome brother or sister explain it to me?"
"You ugly folks are so annoying, always asking this and that. I’ve understood, but I won’t explain! Use your brains more, or else you’ll get dumber and dumber!"
"The [Prophet]’s meaning is to recognize Cangming Star as the big brother, and us Earth as the little brother, positioning in the cooperation is ’Ye Fengqing’s talent training base’, so that after this crisis is over, we can train high-end talents for the [Lord of the Red Lotus] to open territory and conquer interstellar!"
"Understood, this move is brilliant!"
"Brilliant my ass! I don’t want to be the little brother, I want to be the big brother! Huh? Be a little brother to the [Lord of the Red Lotus]? Well... never mind then! I totally agree!"
"Stop dreaming, you don’t qualify to be their little brother."
"Hey, who’s looking down on whom?"
"That big brother is right! People’s definitions and understandings of the same thing are completely different! Probably in the eyes of the [Lord of the Red Lotus], there’s not a single ’talent’ among those who can post comments here..."
"I’m a microexpression psychology researcher, and I just noticed the change in Ye Fengqing’s eyes — it’s obvious that in her eyes, the only ones who can be defined as talents are the [Martial God], [Prophet], [God], and that low-profile uncle who’s probably pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger! The other National Guardian-level ability users are all a notch below, just barely hovering around the passing line as ’barely passing products’."
"That uncle is Zhang Qianren, codenamed [Haotian], nothing more to say, you all take a good look at this name and think carefully, those who know, know, benefit involved, not explaining, going anonymous."
Su Qiangwei put down her phone, giving Ma Ran a look that said "you’re something else," her expression much more relaxed compared to earlier.
Ma Ran convinced Ye Fengqing with just four words, bringing this big shot onto the ship, so facing [Divine Court] would no longer be a solitary battle, struggling with a single log.
Although Master Qiangwei still firmly believed that Ma Ran was a detestable guy in private, truly a vibranium lack of gentlemanly nuances with a penchant for bullying weak girls, but...
At this moment, he was radiating a wisdom that could not be ignored, carrying both the bleak and tragic of a savior of the world, and a bit of the brave and fearless blocking the sea.
After reaching a consensus through a brief exchange, Ye Fengqing smiled slightly, looking at the camera: "Don’t think I’m taking advantage of others’ misfortunes."
"This negotiation is profitable for Earthlings."
"If not for the sake of the Ice River Immortals..."
"You couldn’t afford the price for hiring me."
As if to prove her words, Ye Fengqing lifted her left hand and lightly tapped the void in front of her.
"Reverse flow."
Among the crowd, the dozen or so news workers and elite members of the Academic Society standing closer to Ye Fengqing began to undergo visible changes.
Their heights gradually shrank, their builds also slowly becoming smaller, and even their faces, too, became younger.
The most terrifying part was...
Their extraordinary power, be it Victory Stone Superpower, Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, or the cultivation of "Burning Martial", all vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye as if they had never existed.
In the blink of an eye, these dozen "lucky audience members" turned into six or seven-year-old children, wearing oversized clothes, looking frantic and comical as if they were children who had stolen adults’ clothing.
Before these people could speak up, Ye Fengqing beckoned with a finger: "Forward flow."
In an instant, the bodies of the lucky audience members began to expand.
Childhood, adolescence, youth, adulthood...
Every second, they would pass through an important developmental stage.
They rapidly grew back to their original ages, and this bizarre turbulence of time finally came to a halt.
The dozen or so lucky audience members, who were the focus of everyone’s attention, all had lingering fears on their faces.
With the power Ye Fengqing displayed, if she hadn’t stopped, if this wasn’t a performance of ability demonstration...
They might have directly aged to death and died of old age on the spot!
The audience in the venue and in the livestream room hadn’t completely calmed down yet, but they all shockingly discovered...
Within the [Sword Transformation Secret Realm], everything experienced by the twenty-five encounter gainers seemed to be fast-forwarded like pressing the fast-forward button.
Light and shadow turned, sword auras flew, and the clashing sounds of metal and stone didn’t cease to ring!
In the Secret Realm, the monster resources were quickly depleting, the flying swords transformed by the practitioners were becoming sharper and more robust, their spiritual quality gradually overflowing.
Not long after...
The [Sword Transformation Secret Realm] was closed!
Some reacted quickly and specifically calculated the time.
They found that the encounter gainers, who still had more than twenty hours left to come out of the [Sword Transformation Secret Realm], completed all the trials in just ten seconds.
One after another, flying swords appeared before everyone, gradually transforming back into their original human forms.
Judging by the expressions of these people, they seem unaware of what happened to them.
In the center, Ye Fengqing retracted her hand, sat down, and gently tapped the armrest of the chair, her tone leisurely: "As you can see."
"In the Red Lotus Territory..."
"Time, too, is a plaything at my fingertips."
