Their commission was suspicious.

Thinking this, Xing ran towards the pillar of light shooting into the sky at the very center of the universe, the only shining thing in this silent starry sky.

But as Xing ran along the road, a phantom suddenly appeared beside her, startling her.

Following a golden light, Xing saw Cocolia's past.

At the end of the journey, they saw a little child.

That is... the will of the guardian.

"The city is crying out, the power of preservation is waning, and in the end, we still cannot resist the will of the Star Core."

"But that's not the true essence of preservation." Although Xing didn't know what had happened, she knew what the right answer was.

“That’s right, but we have no right to question it. For the past 700 years, the rift has expanded every second. We left our successors no faith or wealth, only boundless despair. Witnessing the homeland we swore to protect gradually disappear before our eyes is torture, coupled with that lingering, seductive whisper… even the strongest will cannot waver. This day was destined to come, and his protection was destined to leave us.” The Guardian’s voice was ethereal yet sorrowful.

“Then let someone else manage the storage,” Xing said.

"You are but a passerby, yet you insist on shouldering the fate of an entire world... Fine, what else is there to lose, what else can't you try? Go and touch the light of amber, Pioneer, and see if the will you hold within you is strong enough to attract its gaze." The Guardian's will pointed to the enormous flaming spear planted in the starry sky ahead.

……

“I’ve had you guys do so many requests for me, I’ll definitely need you again next time. So this time, I’ll lend you and this planet a hand, consider it an advance reward.” Seeing Xing struggling to draw his spear, Chen Luo removed the wooden shield covering the Hilichurl.

Chen Luo had no doubt that Xing could attract the Amber King's attention.

But Chen Luo knew that merely attracting His attention was not enough.

The stronger the star, the more commissions it can help you complete!

The next moment, the guardian star god Kripper turned his gaze in this direction and looked at the wooden shield in Chen Luo's hand.

Chen Luo knew long ago that these random items were all extraordinary, including the Hilichurl's wooden shield, which embodied the spirit of preservation.

Perhaps the material used to make this wooden shield is a special law of defense from another world, just like the Star God of Preservation, representing the ultimate in protection.

Therefore, after removing the power of pleasure that was responsible for covering the Hilichurls' wooden shields, King Cripple cast an approving glance.

And issued an invitation to the envoy.

[Ding! The Star God of Preservation invites your shield to become a Preservation Envoy. Do you accept?] The user-friendly plugin's voice sounded.

"???"

Damn it, why wasn't I the one invited?

Although Chen Luo had no intention of accepting any envoy's power, he couldn't refuse to invite him!

"But that makes perfect sense," the user-friendly plugin said.

“Indeed.” Chen Luo nodded and then accepted.

If this power were given to Chen Luo, he would definitely not accept it, but if it were just to enchant a weapon, Chen Luo wouldn't mind.

A massive beam of light fell from the sky, covering Everwinter Ridge. When the light dissipated, everyone's gaze fell upon Star, who was gently lifted by the Creation Engine and was holding a flame spear.

But no one noticed Chen Luo's shield, which now had an amber sheen.

Under that light, the snow around the star core melted instantly.

Xing, gently placed on the ground by the Creation Engine, raised her Flame Spear and, surrounded by the crowd who rushed to the scene, pointed the spear at Cocolia, who was slowly falling from the sky.

When the Flame Spear, representing the Great Guardian, was awakened by Star, Star also became the owner of the Creation Engine.

The Creation Engine is a machine for transforming planets, and its ownership belongs to the former builders, who are staunch supporters of the Star God.

Therefore, the Creation Engine was born to protect, and it only submits to those who uphold the protection!

“This is impossible…” Cocolia said in disbelief.

“The will of preservation has made its choice,” Bronya said.

“Indeed.” Chen Luo, who had somehow appeared beside Cocolia, nodded.

You might not believe it, but there was a guardian envoy on site, and this envoy was actually a shield.

Are you surprised?

After gaining the power of protection, Chen Luo could clearly feel the slight changes in the Hilichurl Wooden Shield in his hand and the increased weight it conveyed.

Now this shield also possesses considerable combat power.

Chen Luo always felt that the random items he obtained were like an athlete with a limp.

Each has its own strengths, yet they are all incredibly diverse.

It's easy to use, but Chen Luo doesn't mind if it's even easier to use.

The Hilichurls' wooden shield was an extremely successful experiment.

The power of the Star God represents the origin of the Starry Sky Railway world and is also the highest level of power in this world.

While it doesn't change the inherent characteristics of the Hilichurls' wooden shields, it does enhance their appeal.

For example, nowadays, a Hilichurl's wooden shield has the weight of a rock.

Legend has it that the amber king was sealed by the guardian star god Krippe, who used light-years as the unit of measurement for the barrier.

The wooden shields of Hilichurls, which are recognized by the Guardian Star God and granted the power of command, also possess similar characteristics.

Chen Luoneng felt that if he wanted to, he could even swing his shield and smash the ground, sending the entire planet flying.

However, despite its immense weight, Chen Luo wielded the shield as if it were nothing.

However, this special power can only function normally in the Starry Sky Railway world. If it is brought to other worlds, it will not adapt well.

Although the degree is less than that of humans or demons, their power will still be reduced.

"Cocolia, prepare to fight the world!" Chen Luo grabbed his shield.

"I'll assist you," Chen Luo said.

“They know nothing of the world’s plight, nothing of the fate that awaits them!” Chen Luo said, pointing his shield at the train crew.

"You will not take away hope! You will not take away our new future!" Cocolia commanded her powers, wielding her ice and launching an attack on the train crew.

Chen Luo, standing to the side, smashed his shield to the ground. The amber light instantly enveloped him, and the small shield seemed to become a huge city wall.

A distant, ideal city! (No!)

And that amber luster lightly covered Cocolia a little... just a little.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo took out an erhu.

"Background music! Start!"

Full health, playing the erhu; low health, roaming the entire map.

The two props that Chen Luo brought out this time were ones that even Xi'er, who came to the bar, didn't know about.

Because the last time these two items appeared was when fighting Oser.

The minimum output of the protection order increases Cocolia's defense by about 20%, while the Erhu buff increases Cocolia's attack by about 20%.

Chen Luo plans to increase the intensity of the train crew.

Because of the Hilichurls' wooden shields, it seems that the Celestial God Kripper bestowed a bit more power upon the stars...

Chen Luo's enhancement undoubtedly made the train crew's battle with Cocolia more difficult, but with the help of the Star's protective power, they would not suffer major injuries.

"Bang!" Under Xing's command, the huge creation engine arm descended from the sky and smashed straight at Cocolia and Chen Luo.

"Huh? This person is also protecting his destiny?" Xing looked at Chen Luo, who was completely unharmed under the protection of the amber shield, with some surprise.

Moreover, this person's protective power seems to be stronger than his own.

The good news is that the power granted to Cocolia was insufficient to counteract the attack of the Creation Engine, so the blow still caused considerable damage to Cocolia.

Cocolia, having lost a full health bar, once again calls upon the power of the Star Core, and her outfit becomes even more dazzling.

Cocolia has entered the second stage!

"The power of the Star Core is with me. You are nothing but the dying struggle of the old world before its collapse!"

"I will personally forge this great new world!" Cocolia, the Mother of Illusions, raised her right arm, and the power of the Star Core instantly coalesced into a jagged, angular star, which Cocolia slammed down upon.

The heavens and earth are in motion!

The battle continues. Cocolia's Star Core power is indeed strong, but the Train Trio is no pushover either.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

The power of the head pat that had been constantly instilled in Cocolia was detonated, and most of the brainwashing effect of the Star Core on Cocolia was instantly removed. Cocolia began to recall what she had done in a rational manner, and then fell into a moment of confusion.

"Flame Lance! Charge!"

A flaw is fleeting.

As Star's Flame Spear pierced through Mother of Illusion, Cocolia's armor vanished, leaving her kneeling helplessly on the ground.

The star core is not weak, but Cocolia herself is not strong enough.

“Mother…” Bronya looked at Cocolia kneeling on the ground and couldn’t help but rush forward, but was pulled back by Seele just before she touched Cocolia.

The shimmering light emanating from Cocolia's side looked rather ominous.

"The Star Core has deceived me!"

In the moment of her defeat, Cocolia understood many things.

"Mother!" Bronya rushed to Cocolia's side, but was blocked by an invisible shield.

"The star core will... engulf everything!"

Looking at the star core in her hand, Cocolia endured the pain and pressed the star core, which was about to unleash its power, into her body.

"Mother!"

The container that the company used to seal the star core 700 years ago shattered in battle, and Cocolia is trying to temporarily seal the star core with her own power.

Moreover, how could one not suffer a backlash after failing to use the power of the star core?

"boom!"

Amid Bronya's cries, Cocolia's body could not withstand the power of the Star Core and was blasted into countless streams of light.

Upon witnessing this scene, Bronya knelt on the ground, feeling an urge to burst into tears.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Resurrect Cocolia]: 800 Primogems + Bronya's Affection Level 30.

"I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?" Just when everyone was wondering how to comfort Bronya, the man in black picked up the star core whose power had been temporarily sealed and walked in front of everyone.

"Put down the Star Core!" Bronya raised her gun and aimed it at Chen Luo.

"The good news is that Cocolia seems to have vaguely guessed that she has been deceived by the Star Core." Chen Luo picked up the Star Core with confidence.

What do you want to do?

"The bad news is... It's too late! Did you think it was over? No, my goal hasn't been achieved yet!" Chen Luo raised the star core high.

"We don't know what he's going to do, but stop him!" Xing said quickly.

The next moment, a gust of wind whistled through the air!

The colossal fist of the creation engine slammed down.

To everyone's surprise, this time the creation engine crashed into itself.

The creation engine has betrayed us!

"In terms of the power of preservation, I am above you, kid!" Chen Luo laughed as he walked up to the palm that the Creation Engine had opened in front of him after repelling the crowd.

"In the name of the messenger, resurrect, Cocolia!" Chen Luo raised the Star Core high and crushed the barrier that had temporarily restrained the Star Core's power, which had been bought with Cocolia's life.

"Crack!"

The clock hands clicked, and the next second, under the light of the star core, Cocolia, who had originally dissipated into countless rays of light, reappeared amidst the radiance and landed beside Chen Luo.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Chapter 1686 Cocolia: I'm sorry, I want to be a good person (Backstab!)

"How could this be?" March 7 and the others stared in disbelief at Cocolia, who had been resurrected under the light of the star core.

"You despicable scoundrel!" Bronya clenched her fists.
