Jiang Zhen looked at the stone before him. There was no trace of aura within it, as though it were just an ordinary rock.
Then all kinds of storms began raging through Jiang Zhen's mind as he continuously pondered what to do next.
Jiang Zhen waved his hand, and in an instant, the Creation Book appeared. A ray of light then enveloped the pile of stones.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen simply waited quietly.
A few seconds later, a ray of light flew from the Creation Book and merged into Jiang Zhen's mind.
Jiang Zhen's eyes lit up at the sight, and he said,
"There's another way. Not bad, really not bad. Since that's the case, things are going to get much more interesting from here on out."
With that, Jiang Zhen stored the stone in his own space and vanished from the courtyard.
When Jiang Zhen reappeared, he was already in Space.
He looked in a certain direction, then took a step. With that single step through the Universe, he crossed three hundred thousand li.
After taking only a few steps, he disappeared from the Chiwu Star System.
Some time later, Jiang Zhen arrived before an enormous sun and looked at the star before him.
Jiang Zhen waved his hand, and the Power of Space immediately enveloped the entire star.
"Refine!!!"
A terrifying force instantly swept across the entire star. In barely a day, the whole star had been refined into a palm-sized golden sphere.
At that moment, Jiang Zhen took out a golden stone and fused the refined star into it.
"A small star is enough. Combined with the special formation constructed inside it, it will be enough to keep this star alive for a very, very long time."
Over the following days, Jiang Zhen constantly traveled through uninhabited regions of the Universe, searching for all kinds of planets with special energies.
That search alone took Jiang Zhen a full hundred years.
Over those hundred years, quite a few people joined the Chat Group, but Jiang Zhen did not concern himself with them.
Jiang Zhen was now considering his computing power and arrangements.
Only after a hundred years did Jiang Zhen return to Earth Star.
This time, however, Jiang Zhen had brought back quite a few special resources.
"Finally, I'm back. If I still couldn't gather everything, that really would have been troublesome."
With that, Jiang Zhen looked over the whole world, then nodded to himself and thought,
"It seems Du Kao has been frightened. At the very least, he doesn't dare act recklessly now.
"Perfect. Next, I can continue my arrangements. I have a large amount of special ores on hand, along with the Dark Silver I found.
"Refining them into other iron ores can indeed create powerful defenses and tremendous toughness.
"Finally, fusing them into these stones will be enough to create special armor similar to that of Armor Hero.
"If I add some offensive methods as well, heh, this time I'll personally bring an Armor Hero crossover into your world.
"A thousand years of nurturing will be enough for these suits of armor to develop decent spirituality.
"My Creation Book really is powerful! With these things, the early arrangements will be more than enough.
"I'd like to see what these fellows are truly capable of!"
With that, Jiang Zhen began processing the twenty stones he had already prepared, one by one.
Inside the courtyard, Jiang Zhen took out the first golden stone he had made. It gleamed with golden light.
It was filled with an aura of supreme nobility, along with an Emperor-like presence that permeated the courtyard.
Jiang Zhen then took out some ore and refined it into a suit of armor that looked much like the Emperor Armor.
Afterward, Jiang Zhen directly fused it into the ore.
"With an entire star as its power source, providing endless energy, along with this indestructible armor, the offensive methods added within it, and the sealing methods.
"From now on, this will be the Emperor Armor of the Supergod Universe! It will also be the Emperor Armor of Earth Star!
"You will slowly nurture yourself within it and seek a suitable Central Plains Bloodline heir."
With that, Jiang Zhen tossed it out. In an instant, the stone sank into the Void. When it reappeared, it had become something resembling an utterly ordinary crystal.
Even Deno Three could not detect the traces of immense energy contained within it.
At that moment, the stone concealing the Emperor Armor was spotted by a playful child, who took it home.
Yet he did not know that the stone was faintly giving off a dim glow, constantly altering and transforming his Bloodline.
It would gradually allow him to adapt to the power of the Emperor Armor, while ensuring that his descendants could inherit the Emperor Armor as well.
However, Jiang Zhen did not care in the slightest about any of this.
Instead, with another wave of his hand, five more stones appeared in red, black, white, cyan, and yellow.
"These five stones took up most of my time. Energy sources from Five Elements-type planets really aren't easy to find.
"If I hadn't learned Purple Star Astrology, I'd probably still be wandering outside looking everywhere!"
With that, Jiang Zhen forged the subordinate armor of the Emperor Armor—the Light Shadow Five Elements Armor from the original Armor Hero.
Just like the Emperor Armor, he placed them into the crystals and fused them within, allowing them to slowly nurture themselves as they awaited the time to awaken.
The difference was that Jiang Zhen did not casually toss these stones out this time.
Instead, following his earlier plan, he found five secluded villages in the east, south, west, north, and center of the Central Plains.
He then placed the crystals in their ancestral halls and set up certain special measures.
They would cause the flames of war outside to unconsciously avoid those places without anyone noticing.
Meanwhile, the Five Elements crystals continuously transformed the Bloodlines of the people in those villages.
"Now that the Emperor Armor and Five Elements Armor exist,
"Then the King Armor and Shura Armor should appear as well, along with the Heaven Earth Man Tri-Talent Armor that matches them.
"However, these four sets of armor cannot be like the others. They must be placed within four families and passed down through Southern Mao."
Having thought it through, Jiang Zhen immediately began crafting them.
In just one day, the four sets of armor were freshly forged. They looked roughly similar to the Shura Armor, Xing Tian Armor, Flying Shadow Armor, and Vajra Armor.
Jiang Zhen looked thoroughly satisfied. He then fused several combat skills into the armor.
Only then did he place them into suitable crystals.
These four stones differed from the others.
The stone holding Shura was purplish-red, brimming with baleful energy and a faint killing intent.
The stone for the Xing Tian Armor was bright red, and the character Xing from Xing Tian flickered indistinctly across its surface.
The blue-and-white one was for the Flying Shadow Armor.
The last, streaked in yellow and white, was the stone for the Vajra Armor.
Next, Jiang Zhen took out another five stones. One was purple; Jiang Zhen fused Thunder Power into it and placed within it a powerful suit of armor representing Thunder.
He also created armor representing the fire element among Earth Fire Wind Water, infused with Lava Power. Its stone was red and black, like molten magma.
The armor representing the power of earth among Earth Fire Wind Water was placed in a purple-and-yellow crystal.
The Wind Element Armor, representing the power of wind, was fused into a pale green crystal.
The final one represented the power of water among Earth Fire Wind Water. Jiang Zhen fused Sea Power into a blue-black crystal.
Jiang Zhen then placed these five crystals respectively in the thunder-struck Kunlun Mountains and Death Valley.
In the depths of the sea, within volcanic magma, atop a cliff where fierce winds howled year-round, and beneath the earth at the foot of Mount Tai.
After finishing all this, Jiang Zhen had used fifteen stones. As for the remaining five, he used special methods to carve words upon them.
They were all phrases formed from oracle bone script mixed with special writing from his Pangu Clan.
Finally, he placed them in five locations throughout the Central Plains. Only after completing all this did Jiang Zhen consider everything properly arranged.
