Chapter 334: Chapter 330: The Yin Yang Master Observes the Prophet

It has been three days since the Prophet appeared in public, passed the Celestial Tribulation, and achieved the Seventeenth Rank of Inner Qi.

Japan, Qingzhou Town.

A luxurious villa.

On a soft, large bed, Ogata Shitou woke up from a stupor.

“Now, how many days left until the Sea Demon disaster?”

“Three days? No… it’s been reduced by another day. Only two days left.”

Ogata Shitou leaned against the headboard, his eyes somewhat bewildered, muttering to himself, “Time-wise, it’s completely insufficient!”

“There’s absolutely no way to reach the westernmost part of Kyushu Island in two days.”

The so-called westernmost part of Kyushu Island refers to Nagasaki Prefecture.

Come to think of it, the name “Nagasaki” has a certain magical quality.

During World War II, the United States dispatched a B-29 bomber to drop an atomic bomb codenamed “Fatso” on Nagasaki, directly causing 86,000 casualties, about 37% of the city’s total population.

The greatest deterrent of nuclear weapons is never the immediate damage done at the time, but the far-reaching impact of nuclear radiation.

The subsequent deaths and genetic mutations in Nagasaki accounted for the majority.

Even so, compared to the “Sea Demon disaster,” the casualties from the explosion that ended World War II are negligible.

The prophecy of Prophet Ma Ran will not be wrong!

This is something Ogata Shitou can be one hundred percent certain of.

Without the Prophet’s foretelling, in the future, a total of over 6.5 million people worldwide will inevitably die at the hands of the extraterrestrial being known as Feng Yuji.

The population directly killed by the “Fatso” that exploded over Nagasaki back then only accounted for just over one percent of this data.

Faced with such a huge numerical disparity, the importance and historical seriousness of this “Sea Demon event” become evident.

Back then, the drop of “Fatso” and “Little Boy” over Hiroshima and Nagasaki dismantled Japan’s resistance.

And in the original trajectory of destiny, how will history record this event after the “Sea Demon disaster”?

Ogata Shitou wanted to thicken his skin and seek help from the Prophet on the Other Shore.

But after previously video chatting, seeing Ma Ran’s hair turning mostly white, he really couldn’t bring himself to say those words.

If it wasn’t for foreseeing this disaster and draining his life, with Ma Ran’s talent and brilliance, he probably wouldn’t have been forced to invest so much time and energy into developing the Inner Qi System.

A few days ago, Prophet Ma Ran passed the Celestial Tribulation in Ice City, China, achieving the Seventeenth Rank of Inner Qi.

Others see Prophet Ma Ran’s saintly appearance, the endless brilliance of his talent, and his peerless genius.

But Ogata Shitou, who awakened the ability of a Yin Yang Master and is a National Guardian-level ability user, saw something unusual.

That young Prophet, who always seemed calm and composed, in actual actions, was not as peaceful as he appeared.

He is quickly creating one new realm after another, modifying the original low-ceiling Inner Qi System to rival any of Earth’s top Extraordinary Systems.

Ogata Shitou is a person who likes to investigate thoroughly.

When faced with issues, he always likes to explore the deepest truths, to ask one more why.

In his spare time, Ogata Shitou also observed and analyzed Ma Ran’s various actions and finally discovered that the Prophet seemed to be chased by something.

Is it a crisis?

No!

To this day, no alien invader has been able to force the Prophet to give his all.

He always handles all enemies and disasters with ease and leisure.

So…

The truth is actually quite simple.

It is the lack of lifespan that forces Prophet Ma Ran to strive to develop a higher Burning Martial Inner Qi System realm.

But why?

It should be known that the Inner Qi System, improved by Ma Ran, upon reaching the Thirteenth Rank, can originally extend lifespan by twenty to fifty years!

Yet Ma Ran still lacks lifespan.

Because he is constantly using the Limited Foreknowledge ability…

No!

He is always using Foreknowledge, warning Earth humans of impending disasters in advance!

To Ogata Shitou, Ma Ran’s publicly declared superpower has always been partially withheld from the start.

However, the phenomenon of superpower erosion from “life span overdraft” truly exists!

In a position swap, Ogata Shitou feels, if he possessed Ma Ran’s superpower, he probably wouldn’t have the same lofty ideological consciousness and magnanimous breadth, to continuously deplete his own lifespan, just to protect more innocents from disaster.

The more Ogata Shitou thought, the more ashamed he felt, shaking his head, no longer humiliating himself, so he got up and washed up simply.

When he opened the door, Quanyi was quietly waiting outside, not knowing how long he had been standing there.

Upon seeing Ogata Shitou appear, he immediately said, “We caught the last three traitors!”

“May I ask how we should handle them next?”

While speaking, Quanyi handed over a stack of documents to Ogata Shitou.

During these three days, the Profound Immortal Team underwent a large-scale purge, weeding out many undercover and espionage personnel from other organizations.

Interestingly enough, the virulent “Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan” theoretically should have killed all these people and their family and friends.

However…

In reality, only ninety-nine percent of this group of undercover agents were punished.

The remaining one percent, after having a confidential talk with Zhou Yu’s assistant, Sakai Tetsuya, came out seemingly brainwashed, changing their original intentions and becoming Zhao Guanlan’s most loyal and capable aides.

In fact, those surviving intelligence agents, in Ma Ran’s memory, all hailed from different backgrounds but died in battle to protect Earth Civilization.

Ma Ran’s mind has a scale for who has credit and who is a traitor.

If Zhao Guanlan had initially presented himself with such an attitude, the Profound Immortal Team would likely have faced much less resistance.

Still, completely eradicating enemies has its drawbacks, but also its advantages.

The previous Profound Immortal viewed the world in terrifyingly simplistic terms, seeing it as black or white, either a friend or foe.

Now the “Profound Immortal” doesn’t seem to be like that anymore.

Some who offend him do not die but instead can wash their past and become his supporters.

However, such people are rare, perhaps not even one in a hundred.

The same attitude shift, when placed on other leaders of extreme path factions, would be viewed as weakness and incompetence.

But as for “Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan,” everyone finds it reasonable.

After all, the Profound Immortal is a man with Upper-Rank National Guardian-level superpowers.

He is capricious.

He is violent and tyrannical.

He acts on a whim.

No one can ever guess what he is truly thinking.

Swish! Swish! Swish…

After quickly reviewing the data and files in his hand, Ogata Shitou said in a deep voice, “Iwamoto Shun, Kitano Atsushi, Kamikaze Masaji.”

“Confirmed, these are indeed the three.”
