My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Hearing her younger sister say this, Ji Yuan glared at her and said, "Fine, but remember to do a few practice tests for me when you come back from this trip with me."

Bronya is there to save our lives, and bringing Su Chang along would be even better. But we can't show our excitement; if this girl knew, she'd get even more cocky, her tail wagging in all directions.

Hearing that she would have to do a test paper when she got back, Su Chang's face fell, but after thinking about how she wanted to go out with her older brother, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Row."

"Okay, let's set off as a group of four."

"The team of four has been formed," Ji Yuan said immediately.

"Great!"

Su Chang cheered and was the first to rush out.

Ji Yuan, Bronya, and Liu Ying followed behind.

……

After leaving Kripper Castle, the four, led by Ji Yuan, set off towards the outskirts of Belloborg. Before setting off, Ji Yuan gave the three some warming potions, which he had concocted himself to ensure they would be relatively comfortable even in the snow and wind outside Belloborg. They also carried several backpacks for snowfield exploration, containing specialized equipment.

Su Chang and Ji Yuan's stamina goes without saying, and Bronya, as the next generation of Great Guardian, is also in good physical condition. Liu Ying's stamina is slightly weaker, but she is trying her best to keep up with Ji Yuan and the others. Ji Yuan is aware of Liu Ying's condition, so he maintains a speed that allows her to train without falling behind.

As they walked, Su Chang asked Ji Yuan curiously, "Brother, what are we looking for? Is it some kind of treasure?"

“Logically speaking, you could call it a treasure,” Ji Yuan said to Su Chang after thinking for a moment.

Hearing him say that, Bronya, who was standing to the side, also turned her attention to him. Even if Ji Yuan said that the debts didn't need to be repaid based on the current profit value, the principal borrowed in the first place still had to be repaid. If they could find some treasure, wouldn't Belloberg be able to develop without any pressure?

"Treasure? Is it? Let's go take a look."

Liu Ying's face reflected a young girl's dreamlike anticipation.

The group of people couldn't wait to get there.

The raging snow made it difficult for everyone to see the road ahead. Su Chang and the others looked at Ji Yuan, wanting to see what he was going to say.

Ji Yuan glanced at the map in his mind, figured out the direction they were going, and then pointed northeast to the three of them, saying, "Let's go. Tie the rope around my waist and hide behind me."

"Ah."

The three nodded, then found a rope and tied it around Ji Yuan's waist.

After securing them in this way, Ji Yuan had Liu Ying stand directly behind him. Facing the wind and snow, they walked forward.

Braving the wind and snow, Ji Yuan led the group up the mountain. After crossing the mountain, the biting wind and snow disappeared, and a relatively flat mountain path appeared before the four of them.

Feeling the map in his mind, Ji Yuan said to the three of them, "Let's go, our destination is just ahead."

"Really? Could there be mountains of treasure ahead?"

Seeing that the snowstorm was subsiding, Su Chang untied the ropes binding her and ran forward. Ji Yuan and the others followed behind, but before they reached their destination, Su Chang stopped. She looked up and exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow, so big! There's such a huge robot here. It's much bigger than those golden men and Mr. Screw Gum."

“Don’t compare these mechanical creations to Mr. Screws,” Ji Yuan tapped Su Chang on the head. “But these robots are indeed very useful.”

"These? Isn't there only one?"

Su Chang and Bronya couldn't help but look puzzled.

Ji Yuan pointed to the back of the machine in front of him, where there were undulating shadows like mountains, and explained to Su Chang, "You see, there are undulations behind this huge robot, so there is obviously more than one robot here."

After a moment's thought, Bronya immediately said to Ji Yuan, "This is the Creation Engine. It's a 'Geological Modification Engineering Unit' created by the first Great Guardian, Ariza Rand. I've read about it in the ancient texts; this Creation Engine played a significant role in the fight against the Antimatter Legion."

"Yes, this is the treasure I've been looking for."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Bronya's expression became slightly conflicted.

Ji Yuan was already being very kind to Beloberg by not immediately starting to collect the principal and interest on the IOU. Now that he was interested in the creation engines, he should give them to him. However, these creation engines were built under the supervision of the first generation of Great Guardians. Would it be unfair to the first generation of Great Guardians to give them away like this?

Seeing her conflicted expression, Ji Yuan immediately explained, "Don't worry, I'm not going to take these creation engines away. I just want to modify them and make them work on this planet after the modification is complete."

"That's it."

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Bronya breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Ji Yuan, her expression full of gratitude.

Seeing Bronya's grateful expression, Ji Yuan quickly said, "I'm not being kind. Even if you don't want the interest, I still want the initial principal. You guys focus on developing your business first, and then I can get the money back."

"Ah."

Bronya nodded emphatically, her gratitude undiminished.

Ji Yuan couldn't stand this the most. He looked at the tall creation engine and said to Su Chang and the others, "Alright, you guys wait here for a bit. I'll go take a look at the creation engine."

"it is good."

Ji Yuan rushed towards the Creation Engine. As he rushed, he drew his flying sword, stepped onto it, and flew directly to the top of the Creation Engine. Standing atop the Creation Engine, Ji Yuan began to inspect the massive mecha.

Standing atop the mech, he was filled with excitement. Just as Screw Gum had said, few men could resist the allure of large machinery. Especially the thought of being able to enter and operate these machines made him even more thrilled.

With his knowledge of Screw Gum, he quickly inspected the creation engine beneath him.

These creation engines were manufactured seven hundred years ago, and many parts are now dilapidated and damaged to varying degrees. This is the best-preserved of these creation engines, still able to maintain a certain degree of activity. The remaining creation engines are in even worse condition than the one before us, having reached the point of being completely inoperable.

Ji Yuan will need to put in a lot of effort to repair it.

In particular, what Ji Yuan needs to do is not just repair it, but to modify it so that its strength can be used to deal with the antimatter legion.

He was calculating in his mind how to modify these creation engines. The machinery was severely lacking in materials, and many parts were missing core components, making repairs extremely difficult.

He pondered the knowledge of various screws and the technology within the space station, striving to find a solution.

We need to make them move, and we also need to make them stronger.

Just then, Ji Yuan sensed a significant change in the surrounding space.

……

Standing beneath the Creation Engine, Su Chang and the other two were also looking at Ji Yuan, who had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I wonder how long he'll be thinking like this," Su Chang said, watching Ji Yuan deep in thought.

But deep down, he thought:

But it really is very beautiful.

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly.

From childhood to adulthood, she had seen Ji Yuan display such an expression countless times. As a child, she initially loathed it, but at some point, Su Chang found Ji Yuan's expression quite captivating.

Turning her head to look at Liuying and Bronya beside her, she noticed that their cheeks were slightly flushed when they looked at Ji Yuan.

Indeed, boys who think things through are very attractive.

Su Chang felt very uncomfortable looking at the expressions on the two people's faces, but she didn't know what to say.

At that moment, she noticed a change in Ji Yuan's expression.

Upon seeing this expression, Su Chang, who had grown up with him since childhood, also changed her expression. She immediately drew her longsword from her waist and reached out to protect Liu Ying and Bronya.

"what happened?"

Liu Ying asked Su Chang.

"Judging from your expression, there's danger around."

Su Chang said in a very serious tone.

As he spoke, the surrounding space began to warp and change. A vast army of antimatter appeared.

Those who evade responsibility, those who trample, those who alter, those who plunder, those who erase…

Antimatter legions of various types of troops appeared around them.

Behind those antimatter legions were two enormous doomsday beasts.

"Beloberg has so many antimatter legions?"

Bronya said in shock upon seeing this.

"I don't think so. If there were that many antimatter legions here, you would have been wiped out long ago."

Although Su Chang wasn't a great student, as a member of the Cloud Cavalry from the Yaoqing Immortal Ship, she still had a lot of knowledge and experience.

Ji Yuan also saw the appearance of those antimatter legions.

Faced with these densely packed antimatter legions, he realized earlier than his sister Su Chang that these antimatter legions did not originate from Yalilo, but from outside.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the army of the Great Monarch Xingxiao who annihilated the enemy.

"Moreover, according to the introduction of Xingxiao on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship, these are not the main force, but only the forwards."

Ji Yuan looked at these troops and thought to himself.

There are many records about Xingxiao on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. Unlike Huanlong, who likes to enter the enemy's side alone to carry out psychological destruction, and Fenfeng, who likes to do things alone, the Extinction Lord Xingxiao is Nanuk's most frequently used vanguard general. Her troops are spread throughout the entire galaxy, weaving marching routes and paths of destruction among the stars.

Ji Yuan even suspected that the combined forces of the remaining six Annihilation Lords didn't even equal hers alone. What she saw before her could at most be considered a vanguard. However, even this vanguard included two Doomsday Beasts, capable of easily annihilating a planet.

He rushed down to rescue the group. In this emergency, he couldn't bother using his flying sword; instead, he jumped directly from the top of the creation engine. Seeing the trampling creatures below preparing to attack Su Chang and the others, Ji Yuan simply extended his leg and concentrated his icy power onto it.

Below, she saw that the antimatter legion had surrounded her group. Su Chang gripped her longsword tightly and took a deep breath.

Firefly clenched her fists tightly, as if preparing to do something. Bronya glanced at her, thinking she was afraid, and quickly picked up her spear to attack.

At this moment, Ji Yuan kicked down. His foot was still gleaming coldly, and the heavy kick struck the trampler, instantly kicking up a large patch of ice and sending the antimatter legions closest to Su Chang and Liu Ying flying.

"At this point, according to Sam, shouldn't we say that I will freeze the sea?"

Ji Yuan said with a smile after he finished kicking.

As he landed, he remembered Sam's kicking technique, and then adjusted his posture in mid-air before kicking down towards the ground.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Liu Ying's expression became quite unnatural. However, before she could react, Ji Yuan wrapped his arm around her waist. Bronya was also wrapped around his arm.

Ji Yuan said to Su Chang, who was holding a long sword, "Su Chang, put your arms around my neck. Let's go up to those creation engines first."

"it is good."

Su Chang quickly ran behind Ji Yuan and hugged his neck. After securing all three of them, Ji Yuan ran upwards. Stepping on the joints of the creation engine, Ji Yuan dodged and weaved several times, returning to the top of the creation engine.
