Their commission was suspicious.

How come you two are so skilled at this?

Chapter 1683 A Brilliant Plan—Have Chen Luo Impersonate a Sage!

"Wow, he got out of the Iron Guard restricted area so easily, without any conflict or fighting. Chen Luo is really amazing!" March 7 praised Chen Luo without reservation.

However, Chen Luo was not present.

"However, this time we lost two of our best generals... We will forever remember their contributions." The Star General placed his fist over his heart, silently mourning.

"...Although two people are indeed missing, one of them had something important to do and couldn't come, and the other couldn't come because the front line of the penalty area was too enthusiastic. Can these be compared?" March 7 complained.

Why do Xing describe Chen Luo and Xiluwa as if they were sacrificed?

"Although Chen Luo didn't come, I could already feel his power, warming us like the sun!"

"...It really is the real sunshine. But that's enough!" March 7th looked down at the sunshine in his arms and then yelled at Xing.

Because Chen Luo had said that after leaving the front lines, they would not only have to cross a large rift, but also a snowfield, where the cold would be far greater than March 4 and the others had imagined, they entrusted the sunlight to the four-person team.

March 7, Xing, and Danheng possessed some pioneering power, but this power was still insufficient to resist the severe cold, let alone with Xier, an ordinary person.

So even though March 7's Ice Hypostasis is affected by sunlight, there's nothing that can be done about it.

However, after the incident where a Silver Sunlight thawed a monster while passing by, everyone now carries a regular Sunlight to minimize its range and avoid thawing monsters, thus reducing combat.

"As the ones who have received the most care, it is our duty to fulfill Chen Luo's tragic wish," Xing said, carrying his enhanced golden baseball bat.

"I don't think sealing the star core and then slicing it up and drinking it is some kind of tragic wish..." March 7th was gradually losing track of Xing's thought process.

"I think if Hilva knew that the star core she had studied for 10 years would only receive this treatment in Chen Luo's hands, she would probably cry, wouldn't she?"

"Alright, let's stop dwelling on these things. What we should be more concerned about is this rift," Seele reminded him.

"This must be the vast rift that Shiluwa was talking about. The erosion on the edge passages is nothing compared to this," Danheng said.

"How do we locate the star's core?"

“Hiluva said that the star core is likely hidden in the snowfields north of Beloborg, and to get there, we probably have to find the exit of this Rift Labyrinth first,” Danheng said.

"I said, don't you guys feel this place is eerie? It feels like... like we're being watched by a lot of eyes." March 7th hugged the sunshine in his arms tightly.

"This place gives me goosebumps and makes me uncomfortable; it feels like bugs are crawling under my skin." Seele agreed.

"Right now, we have no guides, nor any means of exploration that directly leads to the star's core. We can only proceed cautiously, step by step. But there's no need to be pessimistic. The heavier the pollution of the rift, the closer we are to the source," said Danheng, the most cultured of the group.

After hesitating for a while at the entrance of the maze, the four of them entered the maze.

But shortly after entering the maze, the group discovered something astonishing.

“That’s Bronya…wait, why is there Cocolia too? And who’s that black-robed person next to her? Could he be the real sage?” March 7 suddenly pointed to the side.

There were three phantom figures there.

“No, those aren’t them. What’s there are some kind of afterimages, some kind of energy residue copied from the rift,” Dan Heng explained.

"That means they must have been here, right? And it looks like they went in that direction. I didn't expect Bronya and the others to be faster than us. We need to hurry," March 7th said.

“Yes, let’s hurry, or Bronya might be in danger. And we were just worried about not finding a guide, but here we are! Let’s go,” Seele said.

After discussing it, the four of them ran towards the afterimage.

……

"Why do I have to suffer like this?" Hiluva said, on the verge of tears.

"Maybe it's because you're very popular on the front lines?" Chen Luo said uncertainly, then stood aside watching Xiluwa help repair equipment on the front lines.

Although Chen Luo felt that after a while, the front line would no longer be considered the front line, since he had given this reason to the people on the front line, he should do it as soon as possible.

“If we’re talking about popularity, you’re definitely more popular, right? Chen Luo… no, I should say the Sage.” Hiluva glanced at Chen Luo, who was wearing a hood and only had the lower half of his face showing.

"It's truly amazing that you came up with the idea of ​​having me impersonate a sage to infiltrate the front lines of the restricted area, and then use the sage's authority to open a passage for March 7 and the others." Hiluva was greatly shocked after hearing Chen Luo's next plan upon actually entering the front lines of the restricted area.

What's even more astonishing is that this plan is actually feasible.

Because Chen Luo's attire is just too similar to that of the sage.

Moreover, some soldiers said that the Sage did indeed pass through the entrance of the restricted area and enter the front line more than ten minutes ago.

In addition, although the Sage became famous relatively late in Beloberg, his strategies and directions for improving the restricted area were of great help to the front line, so the Sage also had a certain prestige on the front line.

"This inspiration still came from you. Didn't you say I'm a lot like a sage?"

“But why do I have to stay here? I want to see the star core…” Hilva complained as she worked.

"Alright, stop complaining. I'll show it to you after the Star Core is sealed. The reason you're working here is because even though I've already made all the arrangements, you still insist on making things seem more plausible by saying you met me on the road and were actually here for repairs. Otherwise, you could go see the Star Core right now."

"Tch." Hiluva was quite annoyed.

"Why don't you lend a hand? Your repair skills seem pretty good too," Hiluva asked.

“Although in the official setting, the Sage did improve the Earth Core heating device for Beloborg, reducing its consumption by 35%, which shows that the Sage is also a mechanical expert, it doesn’t fit my character for me to be your assistant,” Chen Luo said from the side.

“That makes sense, but not much,” Hiluva said through gritted teeth.

Although she couldn't go to the scene to witness the sealing of the Star Core, the prospect of seeing it again and even being promised to touch it was an irresistible temptation for Hilva.

Therefore, Hiluva could only diligently repair the equipment at the front lines.

"Commander Jepard!" came the Iron Guard's voice from afar.

"Oh no, my brother's here!" Hiluva suddenly tensed up.

Others might not know Chen Luo, but Jeppard definitely does; they had just met.

Oh no, the lie is about to be exposed.

The good news is that on March 7th, they had already crossed the front line and entered the rift ahead. Even if their disguise was exposed, Jepard would not be able to lead his men into the rift and capture the three outsiders.

“Sister, what are you doing here?” Just as Silva had anticipated, Jepard noticed Silva repairing something.

At the same time, Jepard also noticed Chen Luo standing to the side.

“Sage…sir?” Jepard frowned.

Jepard isn't stupid, nor is he face-blind.

Just recalling seeing Chen Luo and Hilva in Hilva's mechanical house not long ago, and then looking at Hilva and the Sage here now, plus considering that Jepard already knew Chen Luo, and comparing it to the appearance of the lower half of Chen Luo and the Sage's faces...

"We meet again, Jepard." Just as Silva was nervously watching her brother, unsure of what to do, Chen Luo simply pulled down his hood, revealing his true face and greeting Jepard. This scene startled Silva so much that she completely forgot the clumsy excuse she had just come up with.

Although the disadvantage is on my side, the crystal hasn't been destroyed yet, so why did you reveal your hand?

"It really is you, Chen Luo."

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Chen Luo said with a smile, tossing an object to Jepard.

Jepard took it, his brow furrowing slightly.

"This is……"

"You should be familiar with Cocolia's personal seal, right?" Chen Luo said.

"……really."

Upon seeing the personal seal, Jepard's serious expression relaxed somewhat, and he returned the seal to Chen Luo.

In fact, Jepard also had his own speculations about the sudden appearance of the sage, because Jepard was one of the people in the know.

The "insider" here refers to Jepard, who knew that Chen Luo had come before the Great Guardian.

Not long after Chen Luo was captured and brought before the High Guardian, a sage appeared in Beloborg, concealing his identity. Jepard found it hard to believe that the two were unrelated.

Now that he saw Chen Luo produce the seal, Jepard became even more certain of the matter.

However, Jepard glanced at his sister with some confusion.

Since the Sage is Cocolia's assistant, he should know about the relationship between Cocolia and his sister, right?

Why would he need to disguise himself and become an apprentice in his sister's machine shop?

Could it be to ease the tension between her sister and Lady Cocolia?

It doesn't sound like it's entirely impossible.

"Why do you have Cocolia's personal seal?" Hiluva, standing beside her, was greatly shocked.

“Hilva, don’t you know? As Cocolia’s assistant, the Sage now basically takes over 80% of Cocolia’s workload, so it’s reasonable for the Sage to have Cocolia’s personal seal, right?” Chen Luo said, turning his head.

"But the problem is..."

But the problem is you're not a sage at all, so why do you have Cocolia's personal seal?

and many more……

A possibility suddenly popped into Hiluva's mind.

Hiluva wasn't stupid either; she was also a top student.

Considering the timing of the sage's appearance and the arrival of the outsider, a somewhat chilling conjecture surfaced in Hilva's mind.

Chen Luo...could he really be the Sage himself?

"!!!" Hiluva felt her scalp tingle instantly.

Chapter 1684 Chen Luo: Please, another me!

"It's so...so cold. With just a little bit of strength, I can't keep up with the low temperature. Thank goodness there's sunshine." March 7th, buffeted by the swirling snow, couldn't help but hug the sunshine even tighter.

“This means we are getting closer to the star's core and the center of the cold wave,” Dan Heng said.

After discovering the afterimages and sounds left behind by the power of the rift, the train crew and Seele learned the truth about the planet's core through Cocolia's personal account to Bronya.

In the distant past, the antimatter legion descended, causing immense damage to the entire planet. The planet's power was no match for the antimatter legion, and it suffered repeated defeats.

With their last strength, they rebuilt Beloborg. As humanity's final defenses were about to crumble, the first High Keeper made a decision: to use the power of the Star Core to stop the Antimatter Legion.

The Star Core responded to the Great Guardian's prayer, unleashing a chilling wave.

The terrifying cold wave froze the antimatter legion, hindering their invasion. However, the cold wave also caused immense damage to the planet, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike.

This has led to the current situation.

However, thanks to the protection of the protective forces, Beloberg was able to make a living despite the difficulties.

After the train crew and Seele entered Everwinter Ridge, they saw some frozen antimatter legions along the way, which made the train crew and Seele afraid to approach these ice blocks while embracing the sun.

If it thaws, besides potentially facing hostility from Cocolia, there's also the possibility of being attacked by the antimatter legion.

"When the minions of the antimatter legion invaded this world, they probably didn't expect to be swallowed up by the cold wave, right? But are these guys still alive inside the ice?" March 7th wondered.

"Let's name him July 3rd, what do you guys think?" Xing said, hugging the sunlight.

March 7th was also trapped in ice before being picked up and put on the train. These monsters were also trapped in ice. So, rounding up, these guys are equivalent to March 7th.

"How can you still be in the mood for jokes at a time like this?" March 7th glared at Xing.

"Is this the ruin left by the builders?" The closer Seele got to the depths of Everwinter Ridge, the more she was awestruck by the massive, mountain-like machinery.

“Doesn’t it look like a giant hand? But it doesn’t feel as big as the Black Tower space station,” March 7 said.

It was the giant puppet on the Black Tower space station that could take down a doomsday beast with a single punch that truly opened the eyes of March 7 and his companions.

It's a pity that Chen Luo didn't come this time. I wonder what Chen Luo is doing now?

……

"Damn Cocolia!" Chen Luo cursed.

Chen Luo's inner demon clone was taken by Cocolia, but the official business Cocolia requested still needed to be completed today.

However, since the demon's clone was dragged away by Cocolia, Chen Luo had to come to the office in his main body to handle official business.

None of my family members understand this. The grand show is about to begin, and you're leaving me here to handle official business?

Even if the world is about to end, the high school savior still has to go to school, right?

Can't you skip your class or take a few days off?

Cocolia, you can't treat me as a tool for handling official business, a mechanic from Belloberg, a massage expert, and an accomplice in brainwashing your daughter at the same time!

You don't use allies like that.

"Forget it, never mind, I'll leave it to my other self!" Chen Luo, whose scalp was tingling from handling official business, chose to give up.
