A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"It really is a secret technique that embodies the true meaning of the Five Elements Armor, and the system's skill compatibility is also quite good."

"The Five Elements Divine Light in the Primordial World is an innate divine power, while the Five Elements Divine Light in the system is more like a secret technique, which everyone can cultivate."

"However, to enhance it, we need to find the innate source of the Five Elements..."

"In the universe of 'Covering the Sky,' what has the innate origin of the Five Elements?"

........

After a long while, Lin Xiu finally stopped and said:

"Xiangyang is out of danger, and his ability to summon the Emperor Armor has been initially restored."

"With a period of nurturing, once the new origin and the old origin have fully merged, it can be restored to its original state."

"Huh? It's... that simple?"

Meizhen was stunned for a while before she quickly took another test.

A few minutes later.

Meizhen stared in astonishment at the Five Elements energy diagram on the screen, which had completely returned to normal and was even more active and balanced than before. Her gaze toward Lin Xiu was now filled with awe.

Is this the Lord of Heaven?

It can even save bloodlines corrupted by dark energy, making them seem unlike human beings.

Okay~

The Lord of Heaven seems to have never been human?

Meizhen thought that Lin Xiu's current appearance was definitely a disguise he made to adapt to the human world!

......

"Oh right, I'll need to use the virtual training room next."

After resolving Xiangyang's problem, Lin Xiu prepared to go and see the Emperor Armor.

"Okay, I understand. I'll get ready right away."

By this time, Meizhen was already quite used to obeying Lin Xiu's orders.

Meizhen felt that as long as she served Lin Xiu well, she could rest easy!

Thinking about this made Meizhen feel great, and she even felt hungry.

"Sigh~ I ran so far on fieldwork today, and now my legs are sore and I'm starving."

"Time to think about what to have for lunch today~"

.......

Soon after.

Lin Xiu and Xiang Yang arrived at the virtual training room together.

As for Meizhen.

She's probably still thinking about what to eat today.

As the virtual training room was activated, Lin Xiu felt the interplay of light and shadow, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.

Before long, an ancient sacred mountain shrouded in clouds and mist appeared before Lin Xiu.

At the mountain peak, the phantom of an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, stood quietly waiting.

This person is called the Old Man of Divine Mountain. He is a wisp of divine thought incarnate from the Emperor's Armor and exists in the bloodline of all descendants of Light and Shadow Village.

In the original storyline, the Armor Summoner repeatedly awakened his own bloodline memories, came to the virtual training room, and learned the skills of various armors from the Elder of the Divine Mountain.

"You've arrived."

"To be honest, I have been waiting here for quite some time." The old man of the sacred mountain stroked his beard and smiled, his voice gentle, showing no surprise.

"Oh? So you already know what I'm planning to do?"

Lin Xiu nodded, standing with his hands behind his back. He had also anticipated this situation.

The old man from the sacred mountain stroked his beard and poured tea for Lin Xiu as he spoke:

"You're planning to take back all the armor, aren't you?"

“That’s right, the armor was originally something I lost. I came to this other world to retrieve it.” Lin Xiu reached out and drank the tea that the old man from the sacred mountain offered him in one gulp.

The old man of the sacred mountain nodded: "Returning things to their rightful owner is only right and in accordance with the way of Heaven. However..."

At this point, the old man of the sacred mountain paused briefly, his gaze first falling on Xiangyang beside Lin Xiu, and then on the sky, as if piercing through the barrier of virtual space and looking into the endless, deep dark universe.

Chapter 49 Am I, Bei Miao, the kind of person who likes to fight with others?

"Just what?" Lin Xiu asked.

"However, the Dark Universe is currently eyeing us covetously, and the Light Universe still needs the power of the Emperor's Armor to protect it."

The old man of the sacred mountain himself does not mind returning, but he cannot allow the universe to be threatened by losing itself.

"So, you're not planning to pay it back?" Lin Xiu asked rhetorically.

"No."

The old man from the sacred mountain shook his head.

“What I mean is… I hope that you can first reclaim the lost parts of the Shadow Universe, and then reclaim the lost parts of the Light Universe.”

"In this way, light and darkness can be balanced, so that the dark universe will not dominate."

"Oh? You mean... I should retrieve the Shadow Emperor first?" Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow.

Indeed.

"The Five Guardians of Darkness and the Five Armors of Light share the same origin, and I also share the same origin as the Shadow Emperor."

"Therefore, if we are to return to the Way of Heaven, it would be best if we both returned together."

The old man of Shenshan had a good idea, and it was correct.

However, Lin Xiu directly refused:

"You're overthinking it. I would never lay a hand on the Shadow Emperor."

Why?

"Why? Of course, it's because we can't win without wearing the Emperor's Armor!" Lin Xiu shrugged.

"what?"

The old man from the sacred mountain twitched slightly. He could clearly sense that Lin Xiu possessed extremely high authority and was undoubtedly the original owner of the armor.

They're all the original owners now, so how come they still can't beat the Shadow Emperor?

"You should be able to sense that my strength isn't that great, right?"

Lin Xiu is currently at the second level of the Dao Palace. Although his double Holy Body physique allows him to defeat some experts who have just entered the Dragon Transformation stage, it is not enough to make him invincible in the Armor Hero universe.

......

The armor is made from system components, so theoretically, reaching the peak of a small world, that is, the peak strength of a Great Sage, should not be a problem.

However, according to the system, different worlds have different rules, but they all have the tendency to absorb other worlds to enhance themselves.

After the system components fell into the Armor Hero world, most of their power was absorbed by the world's own Dao, leaving very little power remaining.

That is precisely why Lin Xiu was able to take it back.

Otherwise, it's impossible to actually let Lin Xiu fight the Great Sage, right?

If Lin Xiu were to actually fight the Great Sage, even if he had the ability to render the Great Sage powerless upon contact, he would still have to worry about being instantly killed before even making contact.

.......

After interacting with the old man of the sacred mountain, he had already sensed the old man's strength.

Both the Emperor Armor and the Shadow Emperor's true form possessed power at the Great Power level. If Lin Xiu wanted to suppress them, he would have to wear the Emperor Armor himself.

Seeing that Lin Xiu had no intention of making a move, the old man of the sacred mountain stroked his beard and said with some helplessness:

"Master Dao, you claim that your strength is not great."

"However, I feel that if you are willing to take action, neither I nor the Shadow Emperor will be your match."

The Emperor Armor was in harmony with the Great Dao, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao's perception, the Divine Mountain Elder could constantly sense the faint, deadly threat emanating from Lin Xiu.

That is why he asked Lin Xiu to deal with the Shadow Emperor.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiu never liked working for others.

"You're right, I do have that ability."

"But I don't like to easily reveal my hand."

"If you're going to expose yourself, it's best to find a situation where you can strike decisively," Lin Xiu said, taking another sip of tea without any hesitation.

"A situation where a single blow can secure victory?" The old man of the sacred mountain raised his eyebrows, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"That's right, in situations where a single blow can win the game."

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and told him all his original plans.

A few minutes later.

Upon learning of Lin Xiu's plan, the old man of the sacred mountain finally showed a relieved expression.

Although it is somewhat unethical to do this, he can accept it if it can completely resolve the feud between the Light Universe and the Dark Universe.

"good."

"If that's the case, then we should proceed with this plan."

The old man of the sacred mountain said no more. His illusory figure bowed respectfully, and then, along with the entire illusory image of the sacred mountain, slowly faded away, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.

Lin Xiu and Xiang Yang's consciousness also left their bodies and returned to reality.

.........

As soon as he returned to reality, Lin Xiu saw Mei Zhen eating a hamburger.

At this moment, Mei was sitting at the lab table, her cheeks bulging, holding a hamburger in one hand and a cola in the other, eating with great relish, not even bothering to wipe the salad dressing off her lips.
