We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Boom! Boom!
The air blade condensed rapidly, rubbing against the surrounding air at high speed, producing a piercing whistling sound and a sharp increase in temperature.

So the intense heat ignited the RDX gunpowder inside the shell the instant it was cut open.

A blazing inferno, like fire from hell, suddenly erupted, like a raging fire demon, spreading and sweeping wildly in all directions, engulfing everything around it in its destructive power.

Because Shen Bailian was afraid of causing great harm to the surrounding area, he controlled his power.

In addition, thanks to Shen Bailian's gentle circulation of the Five Elements Breathing Technique, the already physically strong bear unknowingly survived its near-death experience, learned a bit of its essence, and underwent a preliminary evolution.

Therefore, the bear could roughly see Shen Bailian's movements.

But that's precisely why.

"What?!" Bear Blind witnessed all of this, his black pupils contracted sharply to the size of pinpoints, his eyes filled with shock and terror.

The bear could think of no other explanation for this unimaginable power except for the elusive immortals who existed only in ancient legends.

And just now he had the audacity to use a legendary immortal as a shield to block bullets.

The thought of this made his body tremble involuntarily. A chilling coldness suddenly rose from the soles of his feet and traveled through the meridians in his limbs to his head.

He instantly snapped out of his previous buzzing state.

at the same time.

"What's going on?" The scholar focused his attention, his gaze fixed intently on the bear's trapped position. A look of confusion crossed his dark face as he muttered to himself in bewilderment:

"Could it be?"

Hearing the scholar's mutterings, Zhang Weishan calmed down. In the otherwise quiet battlefield, besides the strong smell of gunpowder, he also sensed a strong sense of danger.

His left eyelid looked like it was tap dancing.

As the saying goes, a twitching left eye means bad luck, while a twitching right eye means good fortune.

however.

Zhang Weishan is a staunch materialist. Although he sometimes prays silently for his comrades, this does not affect his belief in Marxist philosophy.

But at this very moment?

Zhang Weishan couldn't help but have some doubts about realistic materialism. He certainly didn't think that such an abnormal phenomenon could be something that silly bear could have caused.

Could it be that the legendary immortals really exist?

"Could that stranger be an alien from a science fiction novel?" Compared to Zhang Weishan, Xiong Xiazi, and others, the scholar had read thousands of books since childhood and had even studied abroad, so he naturally did not believe in the idea of ​​immortals.

But he knew about the alien theory.

In this vast and boundless starry sky, there is not only one planet, Blue Star, and the solar system is just a small part of this universe.

Although the conditions for life to emerge are extremely demanding, with the accumulation of big data, is there other intelligent life in the starry sky?

There is no doubt about this.

However, one thing puzzled the scholar: why did that alien look almost exactly like the Chinese people on their blue planet?

Do not!
It can't be said that they are exactly the same.

The clothes the other person wore, and their unusual physical strength, were able to easily withstand bullets—something far beyond what humans on Earth could compare to.

……

"As weak as an ant, is this the power of a god?" As Shen Bailian continued to pour in his spiritual power, the range of his Eye of God expanded, and soon the area within thousands of miles was covered in his vision.

This is far from his limit in this universe.

If fully extended, Shen Bailian silently calculated in his mind that it would be about one-tenth the size of the surface area of ​​the planet beneath him.

Of course, what attracted Shen Bailian's attention the most were the creatures on the ground that looked almost like him, or more accurately, they were creatures.

Terribly weak.

Although Shen Bailian had suppressed his power to a great extent, and with the passive effect of the skill [Primordial Qi] to conceal his aura, he still managed to immobilize the big guy behind him with just a slight move.

"According to the theory of world energy levels, the energy level of Zhenyuan Universe is higher than that of the Star Ring World. I can unleash power close to exploding stars in the Star Ring World, so imagine how much more powerful it would be in this fragile universe."

"It would probably be enough to destroy a planet with a single punch."

Shen Bailian's most destructive and powerful attacks have never been delivered with swordsmanship, but rather with his fists, amplified by the high power of his fist techniques.

If we were to unleash a full-force attack on the planet beneath our feet in this universe...

The power it unleashes could probably reach the Earth's core, triggering an even more violent force within it, thus achieving the effect of destroying a star with a single punch.

Thinking of this, Shen Bailian's eyes quickly flashed with excitement, and his originally calm heart couldn't help but ripple with emotion.

But at the same time.

As Shen Bailian's state of mind changed, his body involuntarily levitated, and waves began to rise without wind within a hundred meters of him, instantly forming surging waves that swept wildly outwards.

A fierce wind howled and swept across the sky.

Instantly, the clear blue sky, which had been shrouded in thick gloom, was revealed again over the battlefield shrouded in artillery fire.

Shen Bailian now understands the mentality of those gods. In the ancient times of the Earth Origin Star Universe, those legendary gods who were high above others were probably just like him now.

Bullets? Shells?
He couldn't even scratch an itch; all he could do was get him covered in dirt.

"Xiao Wu," Shen Bailian suddenly called out to the air.

"?" Upon hearing this, a faint sense of doubt appeared in the bear's already terrified mind. Then, an even more frightening thought surfaced in his mind:

"Did that immortal get blown out of his mind?"

But this terrified thought quickly turned into ecstasy. If the other party's mind was really blown out of control, wouldn't that mean that the matter of using the other party as a shield could be fooled?
however.

The next moment, the absurd thoughts in the bear's mind suddenly disappeared, and his gaze was fixed on the front, where he saw a woman he would never forget.

"Master, I'm here." The moment the voice fell...

A dashing woman dressed in finely crafted armor appeared before Shen Bailian. The armor was adorned with exquisite patterns, and the woman was tall with a figure that was almost perfect.

Her long hair was braided into delicate braids, adorned with golden hair accessories. Her eyes were deep and bright, and her fair face, like mutton fat jade, gave her an exceptionally tender appearance.

This is simply not the physique of an ordinary woman.

"It seems that all creatures share the same appreciation for beauty." Shen Bailian shook his head helplessly at the bear's expression behind him, his eyes filled with approval.

The passive effect of the skill "Following in the Shadow" is resurrection, and after resurrection, all negative statuses are cleared.

In addition, all of Shen Bailian's belongings will also be "resurrected" along with his resurrection, including but not limited to clothing, storage rings, and even warrior armor.

To address the dangers of the other world, the terms of the initial expedition included a clause stipulating that the ownership of the warrior armor was provided under special permission by the Great Xia government. Simply put, the warrior armor, along with all the resources carried by Shen Bailian and his companions, were merely a small price the Great Xia government was paying for their exploration of the Star Ring World.

Ownership belongs to the explorers.

Standing before Shen Bailian like a pine tree is the artificial intelligence inherent in the General Armor itself, designed to make it more realistic and to encourage explorers to cherish the General Armor.

Therefore, the artificial intelligence within each general's armor has a unique appearance.

Handsome men with beautiful women, and beautiful women with handsome men.

Of course, there are reasons for this setup.

The original intention of the design was to reasonably address the physiological needs of explorers during long missions. After all, humans are not machines, and appropriate venting can help them think more rationally about problems.

Regardless of gender.

This was also the first time Shen Bailian had seen the artificial intelligence of the warrior armor. He had to admit that its near-perfect physique truly amazed him for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

There is no woman in my heart, so I draw my sword to the God of Nature.

Shen Bailian is currently facing a life-or-death crisis. The returning gods are just one link in the chain, and it's not even that urgent.

The most important thing now is how to escape this barren universe.

However, this is far from enough with just level one of [Close at Hand]. Even if you put the remaining two skill points into [Close at Hand], you probably still won't be able to reliably find anchor points.

The sea of ​​nothingness is simply too vast.

Shen Bailian had no idea how many worlds separated him from the Zhenyuan World.

"Search for the language, script, and all the secrets of this world." After pondering for a moment, Shen Bailian gave Xiao Wu a simple instruction.

Actually, he had already checked the level of technology in this world just now.

Hmm... Just like the energy level of this world, it's also very low, and somewhat similar to the parallel universe of the Great Xia Dynasty, but its historical trajectory is completely different from that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

On the planet Earth, before the new era, the Great Xia Dynasty entered an era of unification after 1864. Even with internal reforms and changes in power, the nature of unification never changed.

This is why, even after the new era, the Great Xia Dynasty remained the only unified nation in the world.

"Insufficient permissions."

"Unblock all permissions at or below Level B." Shen Bailian issued the order calmly.

To prevent a mechanical crisis, even the artificial intelligence on the warrior armor cannot control the armor's armory or quantum reconnaissance communication device without the appropriate authorization.

As the permissions were unlocked, light blue, rapidly flowing numbers appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes in an instant, and information streams continuously appeared in the database carried by the general's battle armor.

After being processed, it appeared in Shen Bailian's eye membrane, and the sound was transmitted rapidly through bone conduction.

Tens of seconds later~
"It was Gaia who ambushed me in the dark." In just a few dozen seconds, Shen Bailian imprinted the events of the past few decades in this world onto the walls of the memory palace.

He was also able to confirm that this world was a branch of the Earth Element Star universe.

As for when this "branch" first appeared, Shen Bailian didn't know.

The fundamental reason is that the energy level of this world is too low, and the history that has occurred here is completely different.

However, it is remarkably similar to the timeline he lived on in his previous life.

But it's only similar; it's not the world Shen Bailian lived in before, because in this world, many familiar people and things have vanished without a trace.

"Based on the existing clues, what can be confirmed is that Gaia most likely knows the coordinates of this world, and the mysterious power that protected me before is most likely also related to Gaia."

"If that's the case, its purpose is obvious." As Shen Bailian thought this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Hiss!" The bear, who had been standing there dumbfounded, suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop by more than ten degrees Celsius. Below zero, even he, as strong as a winter furnace, felt a bone-chilling cold. He gasped and muttered to himself:
"Why did it suddenly get so cold?"

……

"Oh my god!!!"

"..."

"What is that, magic from the ancient East?"

"I said before, all Huaxia people know kung fu."

"Fuck you! What does that have to do with kung fu?!"

As the fully equipped American soldiers saw Shen Bailian floating naturally in the air, they immediately engaged in a heated discussion.

When Xiao Wu appeared, Shen Bailian was treated as a legendary god.

Even if they are not God, they must be angels!

“Alien?” Hines looked at the somewhat familiar figure floating in the air, and the word naturally came to mind.

As a general, although he believed in Christianity, he was not a devout believer.

If God truly exists, Hines wouldn't mind commanding his soldiers to drive those steel behemoths and try to capture the legendary God and send him to his biological laboratory.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't believe that the person floating in the air was the legendary God.

Of course, Hines also believed in a truth: all truths in this world are within the range of cannons.

Amid the clamor of discussion, Hines's expression grew increasingly grim. He was not just a general; he was also a capitalist.

A capitalist who only cares about profit.

This war was a nightmare for ordinary soldiers, but for him, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity to make a fortune from the war.

But if this war drags on any longer, and we can't capture Tieyuan today...

So what awaited Hines was only incompetence and demotion, which did not align with his philosophy of profiting from the war.

Even God has to pave the way for money.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, immediately standing out from the cacophony of discussion.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" Hines glanced at Shen Bailian, who was floating in the air, with burning eyes, and then gave the order to fire to the soldiers.

At this time, the American soldiers were relatively disciplined; otherwise, they could not have become number one in the world simply by relying on their weapons and equipment.

In an instant.

Amidst the deafening roar of cannons and the steel torrent of scorching shells, a hail of red-hot bullets rained down, rubbing rapidly against the air.

It pressed down fiercely towards Shen Bailian. (End of Chapter)
