Under the guidance of the biohazard suit.

Wang Wen and her entourage boarded the warship and took off.

When we landed again, we were above a lush, green forest, lake, and grassland.

We landed on the ground in the tiny flying machine.

Groups of people were waiting not far away.

As the aircraft cabin door opened, the crowd rushed forward, with two slender, listless, pretty but haggard women being bound and escorted at the front.

Bringing them before Wang Wen, the crowd respectfully said, "Your Majesty, as you commanded, these are two heinous criminals deserving of death. You may dispose of them as you see fit."

Wang Wen glanced at the progress bars above their heads; although not high, they totaled over a hundred, so passing the level shouldn't be a problem.

The question is, what kind of deadly crime could these two seemingly delicate women have committed?

Wang Wen asked the crowd about this out of curiosity.

The crowd declared that both men were traitors.

Wang Wen was even more puzzled. What exactly constituted treason? What had she done?

The crowd began to stammer.

An elderly man dressed in magnificent robes stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Wang Wen, saying, "Your Majesty, the past of this lowly commoner is insignificant. Your will is our guiding principle. The only exception is that the Imperial Family has always maintained an ancestral precept: if one encounters a divine being who wields Scepter and can stir up the heavens and earth, disregarding the Empire's thousands of troops, one must immediately surrender, acknowledge the Emperor as one's master, and offer up the Empire's most precious treasures. This old servant believes that you are that divine being mentioned in the ancestral precept."

Upon hearing this...

Wang Wen squinted her eyes.

It is used to conceal one's inner emotions.

Holding Scepter and stirring up heaven and earth? Does this refer to one's own "Oath Scepter" and "Unity with Heaven and Man"?

How could those so-called ancestral precepts know these things?

Are they all fortune tellers who can predict events thousands of years in the future?

So that's why the level progress is so high?

What kind of priceless treasure would warrant such a massive undertaking and elaborate concealment by the World Tower?

Wang Wen followed the crowd to the imperial palace located at the center of the Empire's super-powered protective array, and briefly introduced the various key ministers of the Superpowered Empire.

And the former emperor who voluntarily abdicated—the very old man dressed in magnificent robes who called himself "the old servant."

Seeing the respectful old emperor, Wang Wen stepped forward and said to him in a friendly manner, "Actually, there's no need for this. I'm just passing through, I'll kill a few superhumans and then leave."

The old emperor bowed meticulously, saying, "Your Majesty, there is no need for such modesty. All life within the vast territory of the Empire, spanning three main planets, twenty subsidiary planets, and seven thousand nine hundred and seventeen resource planets, belongs to you. You can have as many superhumans as you need."

Wang Wen was genuinely shocked.

He exchanged glances with his teammates and asked the old emperor in confusion, "You've already embarked on your journey to the stars, so what are you afraid of? If this planet is destroyed, just move on to another one. Why surrender?"

The old emperor bowed his head. "The citizens of the empire are not afraid of war, but your presence involves ancestral precepts that the royal family must not disobey."

"Then hurry up and bring out the treasure! I have to say, playing this big game has really piqued my curiosity!" Wang Wen glanced at the time displayed on the World Tower spacecraft.

I've been inside the tower for just over half an hour.

It's still early.

The old emperor nodded.

He turned and gestured towards the interior of the palace, saying, "This treasure is too large to move easily; I hope Your Majesty will come with me to see it."

The group took another step, following the old emperor's lead, and arrived at a huge underground space deep within the palace.

What came into view was a metal sphere that stretched as far as the eye could see!

The Emperor indicated that the giant sphere before them was the Empire's most precious treasure.

Wang Wen pulled the aircraft over and scanned it.

I actually saw the item information!

[Energy Limit Remover], a unique treasure on floor 600, not included in the first-time login reward options on floor 700. Anyone who touches it can remove their energy limit and become a superhuman, with no upper limit on energy recovery.

It truly is a treasure!

But isn't this thing a bit too big??

How can I take this with me?

Does depositing goods lead to bankruptcy?

Several thoughts flashed through Wang Wen's mind.

Zhu Xingguo was standing next to Wang Wen, noticed her furrowed brows and frozen expression.

He also glanced at the prop information while holding the aircraft.

He then rubbed his hands together eagerly and said to Wang Wen, "Master, do you need a test? I'll go first!"

"No need," Wang Wen stopped him. "Let me see if I can store it directly. If I can, I'll test it again at a safe place later."

After saying that, he pulled the aircraft over to scan the metal sphere and called for it to be stored.

The aircraft was quoted a storage price of over five billion.

Wang Wen twitched his eye. Fortunately, he had now achieved financial freedom by developing the Insect Chamber and the Four Squares Formation.

Otherwise, we might not have been able to carry such a big guy away!

Delivery Point.

The scanning beam expands to cover the entire metal sphere.

The next second.

The metal sphere vanished into thin air.

The vast underground space became completely empty.

The old emperor said with a face full of satisfaction, "As expected! The ancestral precepts are recorded without error; indeed, only Your Majesty could take away the treasure! You are the one mentioned in the ancestral precepts!"

Wang Wen smiled noncommittally.

The taking of the treasure had nothing to do with anyone; it was the World Tower's doing.

Any Tower Climber with enough Point could take it.

I was just lucky.

He listened patiently as the old emperor poured out his heart.

The metal sphere seemed both heavy and weightless; its enormous size did not damage the ground.

There wasn't even the slightest dent visible at the contact point.

But it just can't move.

Using any vehicle to tow or stretch it was useless.

The metal ball will only descend if the ground is lowered as a whole.

The ancestral precepts mention that the empire used a great deal of manpower and resources and spent several years to move the metal sphere from the ground to underground.

Then build a palace on the ground.

This area has been designated as a key protected zone.

Wang Wen nodded.

After learning about the ancestral precepts, the precious treasure was also obtained.

It's time to clear the level and leave.

Wang Wen returned to Earth.

Looking at the two female superhumans who were bound and detained by the crowd.

He frowned and asked the old emperor, "What exactly did these two do? Tell me everything."

The old emperor was slightly taken aback.

He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment.

He smiled mysteriously and said, "My lord, do you want to punish evil and uphold justice, or do you simply need superhumans?"

Here we go again.

Wang Wen glanced at the time on the spacecraft with some impatience and casually said, "Punish the wicked and uphold justice."

The old emperor nodded with a smile, "Then these two are truly heinous criminals, and you may dispose of them as you see fit! Or, if you are not satisfied, we have other, even more heinous criminals for you to choose from!"

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Wang Wen finally snapped, "Are you senile or just driven by lust, spending all your time playing around with women?"

He brandished his Scepter.

The old emperor's head, still smiling, exploded.

Progress has reached 700%.

Floor 600, cleared.

Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, the five Tower Climber slowly stepped into the portal and disappeared.

Energy remaining: 99.49%.

Wang Wen was focused on the [Energy Limit Remover] and did not linger on the scattered number gates between floors 601 and 609.

He rushed to the 610th floor, a small integer floor where injuries could be healed by the power of the world.

Pull the aircraft over and retrieve the metal ball from the storage.

He was mentally prepared for the entire space to explode.

They even used bubbles to wrap everyone up to minimize the risk of injury from unexpected situations.

result.

The metal sphere appeared.
