Chapter 536: Chapter 530: Mind-Blowing Brainstorm! Unforeseen Paths!

The absence of Ma Ran at the news conference this time was actually nothing important.

He simply took some time to have a meal with his parents at Haidilao, then returned to his dorm and opened the Earth Super Forum’s [Main God Game] section.

This section’s popularity was not low originally, and in the last two days, the number of daily posts had surpassed a million. Randomly browsing, one could see many posts related to "Earth OL: Divine Court Invasion".

Casually clicking on a high-ranking thread, Ma Ran saw another Main God Game player about to be driven mad.

"What’s up with those Gods’ [Avoidance Protection]! They’re totally unbreakable!"

The main post had just one sentence: Those six jerks don’t take any damage at all, absolutely disgusting. The guys from the [Divine Court] are so blatantly cheating, aren’t they afraid of being banned by the cosmic administrators?

This was precisely the kind of post Ma Ran wanted to see!

By shifting people’s focus to [Avoidance], he could utilize his [role-playing] ability to receive feedback on possible solutions!

Initially, Ma Ran planned to find a solution through his own efforts and research.

However, through the future-observing ability granted by the [Prophet] badge, Ma Ran saw a tragic future—he would need fifty whole days through self-effort to successfully break the [Avoidance Protection] of the Divine Court’s gods.

By that time, fewer than ten million Earthlings would remain alive!

Although listening to the Second Generation God of Slaughter [Ti Sheng] and the Divine Court visitor [Tomb], and combining with the intelligence Ma Ran had gathered, Earthlings are considered a high-quality resource of believers in the eyes of the Divine Format System’s deities.

But for some unknown reason, once they descended upon Earth, they suddenly started killing mercilessly, with a stance that they wouldn’t stop until all Earthlings were exterminated, leaving no room for a truce.

Currently, the best future Ma Ran saw was with 9.8 million Earthlings surviving, aided by the Eldest Prince Li Tang of Chuanke and Third Prince Adam, embarking on an interstellar migration plan aboard interstellar battleships, abandoning Earth.

Gathering his thoughts, Ma Ran spoke: "[Hong]."

The soft youthful voice of the data life form echoed by his ear: "I’m here, what command do you have, Father?"

"Redirect all topics related to "Earth OL: Divine Court Invasion" to the [Avoidance Protection] of the Divine Court gods."

[Hong] immediately responded: "Your will is my only guideline for action, I ensure the mission’s perfect completion."

Ma Ran’s eyes sharpened, as he began to scan the replies under the previous post.

"You are using repetitive words, disgusting, childish."

"Honestly, the post is right! Avoidance Protection is truly annoying! No tactic can reduce the enemy’s HP, it only restricts their movements, how is this any different from having a blood lock cheat enabled?"

"Huh? How did you guys find out the other side had a blood lock cheat enabled? My team couldn’t even touch the other side and we got instantly slaughtered."

"None of your team members are at the [National Guardian] level?"

"Exactly, I was trying to nurture a new generation ultra-star team, choosing those with a lot of potential, talents of Swordsmanship 10, ’Burning Martial’ 10, Mecha talents 10, but in the end..."

"Talent turning into combat power takes time, and time is what we lack the most!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Why bother with those jokers? If you don’t find a strategy soon, Earth’s civilization will really be wiped out in twelve days!"

"If the sky falls, there’s a tall person to hold it up. Why worry? Isn’t it just [Avoidance Protection]? Is it because the [Prophet] isn’t strong enough or the [Martial God] isn’t ruthless enough? Why worry about what’s not your business! Life goes on! If people want to play, let them, even if it’s a dog, a piece of crap, a joker, they all have their own uses!"

"Such a big heart!"

"Although I don’t agree with the attitude of ’not my business, so I’ll ignore it’, the guy just now was right. The joker strategy might work wonders! While playing Earth OL: Divine Court Invasion, I gathered a piece of info - Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei once led Sikong Si, Cheng Lixing, Zhu Hanyi, Zhang Qianren and others to a planet where the flow of time is vastly different from Earth!"

"The Spiritual Time House? One Earth day, a hundred years there? Damn! Does this mean they’ll train loads of full-level bosses? Earth’s saved!"

"Not saved, doomsday awaits, I’ve verified the information, that planet is called Blood Mist Star. Due to the [Divine Court]’s interference, the time flow on Blood Mist Star and Earth has already synchronized."

"Sigh... yep, no hope. Perhaps you didn’t notice, those six invaders are Lower Rank Gods. If there are Lower Rank Gods, surely there are Middle and Upper Rank Gods. We can’t even withstand the first wave, how are we supposed to fight?"

"Mentioning Middle and Upper Rank Gods is too far-fetched, and without evidence, likely doesn’t exist. What worries me the most is the equipment of those six Lower Rank Gods! They’re all wearing uniform gold-white standard suits. Do you know what this means? - Genocide, civilization annihilation, these guys are professionals! Specializing in this!"

"Six cannon fodder destroying Earth?"

"That’s enough, that’s enough! They aren’t just cannon fodder! At least they’re True Gods. I’ve heard the lowest-level divine beings have as little [Weak Divine Power] as the two generations of the God of Slaughter, Lower Rank Gods are definitely mid-tier!"

"Even so, how can we win? The Ran God and Zhao Guanlan can’t kill the enemy, but both can suppress one. Su Qiangwei and Gray can each handle another. The ’Canglan Second Generation Team’ (Wan Haihao, Zhu Hanyi, Wu Di) can work with other National Guardian level to handle one. The last one... can wipe out all Earthlings.

"My Ma Ran was banished to the edge of the cosmos by the Divine Court, and all three thousand one hundred and sixty Earth Extraordinary Ones in the team were slaughtered."

"Man, you’ve got some patience!"

"A squad of over thirty thousand Extraordinary Ones lost?"

"Damn! How to win this? It’s simply toxic!"

"It’s not about having more people in a squad in Earth OL: Divine Court Invasion, but considering compatibility and chemistry. Don’t bring in those too weak, they only drag others down, dividing the focus of the squad leaders. As for some elite with special abilities, form them into second and third squads for independent action. My highest score was 103,000, with only four in the squad: Prophet, Martial God, God, and Little Daoist Wudang."

"You don’t bring in Zhao Guanlan? Although he’s a real pain, when he’s on the same team as his two sworn brothers who drank Brotherhood Wine with him, he won’t stir up trouble and becomes incredibly reliable!"

"After gathering Wan Haihao, Zhu Hanyi, and Wu Di, I also found the interstellar jump pod we used for the long-lasting civilization expedition, planning to sacrifice them to reverse spiritual summon [Sword Master] Lin Qiubai and [Demon Child] Zhang Kuang..."

"Wow... an unimagined path... pairing with [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan, you can form a [Cangming Overlord] bond! This imagination... impressive!"
