The wreckage of battle armor that had collapsed in the distance continued to emit explosive sounds, and the plasma on the metal barrier behind also hummed and crackled.
But Fang Zheng simply stared blankly at the young man before him, momentarily seeing a vision of a god clad in golden armor sweeping across the universe.
"You... who exactly are you?"
Chen Luo smiled faintly, withdrew his fingers from pressing on Fang Zheng's head, turned, and jumped off Fang Zheng's battle armor.
"Me? Just a traveler who has crossed the sea of stars."
"If you're willing to believe me, then come with me, for yourself and for everything you care about."
*Buzz!*
The massive battle armor that had fallen to the ground suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
When the light faded, a figure emerged from within after the sealed battle armor was reabsorbed into his body.
Gone was the brutish appearance of a bald man with a rough face; instead, a refined middle-aged man with short hair and a proper countenance appeared.
Chen Luo had casually helped Fang Zheng repair his body and consciousness, which had significant hidden dangers due to the modifications.
He had now finally regained his proper appearance.
However, he was completely unaware of this and anxiously chased after Chen Luo.
"Wait! Wait! I'm willing to believe you!"
"Please! Save our world!!!"
As Fang Zheng caught up, new system prompts suddenly sounded in Chen Luo's ears.
[Congratulations on completing the special hidden mission: Hidden and Great!]
[Mission Details: Save Fang Zheng, an East Hua citizen who has been undercover for twenty years. Rewards will be issued based on completion.]
Chen Luo paused his steps. He hadn't expected this game to have missions that only provided prompts after completion. xxs1
However, Chen Luo wasn't too concerned about the so-called rewards, as, apart from some special rewards, those below the general racial heritage level held little significance for him.
But the subsequent prompts did surprise Chen Luo.
[Mission Completion Status]:
1. Uncovered the hidden truth behind the Seven-Day War.
2. Key figure "Fang Zheng" confirmed to be alive.
3. (Additional Bonus) Key figure "Fang Zheng" has been reborn and has not embarked on the predetermined path of destruction.
[As Conqueror Chen Luo has exceptionally completed the mission, you have obtained a special item blueprint! Your world recognition has been enhanced!]
The moment the prompt finished, Chen Luo felt a tremor throughout his body!
Everything within a hundred-meter radius, which had previously been blurry as if seen through frosted glass, now regained its perception as it was in the mother world.
"Hmm, the perception range has increased, and the outward power suppression is also a bit better, but the application of skills from the mother world is still lacking."
"It's also inconvenient to summon Dragon Girls and the others for now; if they were suppressed, it would be dangerous."
"It's acceptable, but this blueprint is quite interesting."
[Void Battle Armor (Prototype Version)]

A near-divine battle armor constructed with fantasy and boldness by a certain madman after receiving forbidden knowledge from the void.
When the battle armor was forged, mortals attempted to ascend to godhood with it.
He succeeded, yet he also failed.
...
Three days later...
*Buzz!!!*
A super-giant RV sped along a long highway, the roadside of which was a wilderness so flat it seemed one could see the end of the horizon.
And behind the RV, a convoy of dozens of heavy trucks followed closely.
At this moment, such a special convoy was openly traveling through the wilderness, a place very dangerous for the humans of the New City.
"Roar!!"
The ground not far away was suddenly broken open, and a giant worm, tens of meters long, lunged towards the convoy with its massive maw open!
But within the convoy, the drivers, who were clearly ordinary people, showed no panic.
The next moment!
*Swish!*
A pale green wind blade suddenly condensed outside the leading RV and shot out!
The ferocious underground worm was instantly pierced through by the green wind blade!
After a brief moment of solidification, the ferocious monster worm silently split into countless tiny fragments under the shadow of the sun.
Throughout the entire process, the convoy remained undisturbed, and the gazes of the drivers of the trucks behind, as well as the passengers in the cargo compartments, became increasingly reverent as they looked at the leading RV.
Inside the RV, Chen Luo happily threw out a poker card in his hand.
"Hehe! Single three! I win!!"
Amidst the lamentations of the other three women, Chen Luo skillfully and casually took out a marker pen and began drawing little turtles on the three young ladies.
Compared to Chen Luo's clean appearance, the Lin sisters were almost entirely covered in drawings by Chen Luo.
The eldest, Lin Qing, looked at Chen Luo, who was clearly bullying them, with a helpless expression, but she gently allowed him to draw.
The second sister, Lin Yue, still wanted to resist, but unfortunately, her resistance was futile, and she was easily suppressed by Chen Luo.
As for the third sister? Lin Xin'er, with a mischievous spirit, hugged Chen Luo's arm and said pitifully with wide, pleading eyes.
"Uncle~ Don't draw on me anymore, I, I'll give you my sisters, okay!"
Chen Luo shook his head indifferently and was about to draw another little turtle on her face.
Angered, the little girl gritted her teeth and shouted.
"Fine, fine, I'll give you both sisters! But Uncle, you have to teach me more spells!"
Unfortunately, bribery was useless!
The marker pen still landed coldly on the little girl's forehead, and in a moment, a little turtle was completely formed.
Well, since her body was already covered, this was the only place left.
Looking at the little girl's expression, on the verge of tears, Chen Luo put away the marker pen and helplessly tapped her little head.
"If you keep saying you'll give your sisters to me, be careful they'll beat you." The two sisters, who were secretly delighted, silently thought ten thousand times that they wouldn't.
"Also, regarding these spells and skills, I've taught you many times, but you've all failed. It seems you really can't learn my powers."
Three days ago, after saving Fang Zheng, Chen Luo's recognition from the Great Origin had increased again, and he felt that he could barely use some skills.
The wind blade that killed the underground worm just now was an SSS-class wind-elemental attack.
This was an elemental skill that Chen Luo had upgraded in the mother world.
But unfortunately, it seemed that due to the differences in the laws between worlds, not only did Chen Luo's consumed power increase when using this skill, but its generated effect was also suppressed to a pitiful level.
Moreover, when Chen Luo wanted to teach these protagonists skills to improve their strength, he unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be a certain barrier in learning skills between humans from different worlds.
Perhaps, this was also related to the fact that none of them were players.
However, none of these were problems, as with the ability to use skills, Chen Luo's means in this world had become more diverse.
With this thought, Chen Luo glanced at the three sisters whose bodies he had blackened, casually told them to go take a bath first, and then turned to walk towards the driver's seat.
"Old Fang! How much further to our destination?"
