Fifty li was but half a day’s journey for this steel behemoth. The shadow of death had never been so close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the depression, tension reached its peak. Wrench, like a madman, roared orders as he directed Lingna to complete the final trap setup. The massive \"landmine plate\" was deeply buried beneath the main entrance; the \"piercing palisades\" were cleverly concealed behind the ruins; several water-bucket-sized \"magnetic shock bombs\" were placed at key positions, their fuses connected to Wrench’s homemade pressure sensors. The entire perimeter of the depression had become a vast, death-laced trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo, accompanied by Ellie, returned to the fissure that had previously erupted. The edges still glowed searing hot; the air reeked of sulfur and ozone. Deep within the fissure, dim red light flowed through cracks in the rock—uncooled remnants of earthfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Ellie asked, her cold eyes filled with doubt as she stared into the bottomless fissure exhaling searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forging armor! Armor that can resist spatial tearing and withering erosion!” Lin Mo’s eyes blazed with madness. He pointed to the dim red magma flowing deep within the fissure. “Use this! Use the embers of earthfire! And…” He pulled out several palm-sized plates of a special alloy, glowing with a deep blue luster, recovered from the wreckage of the Viper command platform—the base material used by Black Scorpion for high-temperature coatings on energy weapons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use this alloy as the base! Melt it with the heat of earthfire’s embers! Infuse it with the natural essence of Starlight Moss and the power of the Seed of Life!” Lin Mo revealed his insane plan. He remembered Liyana saying moonlight energy could suppress withering mist; Starlight Moss carried natural power, and the Seed of Life was the origin of life itself. Combining Black Scorpion’s alloy, resistant to high-temperature energy weapons, with the wild force of earthfire might create a temporary defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie watched Lin Mo, then glanced into the fissure’s earthfire. She did not question—only nodded. “How?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was short. No furnace. No tools. Everything had to be simplified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo used a heat-resistant metal rod to insert one of the deep-blue alloy plates deep into the fissure, near the flowing dim red magma. Instantly, the rod’s tip glowed red-hot from the terrifying heat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sizzle!” The alloy plate touched the magma’s edge and turned crimson, emitting a piercing screech! Lin Mo gripped the rod tightly, enduring the scorching airwaves, pushing the Seed of Life to its limit to protect his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ellie! Sprinkle the Starlight Moss powder on it!” Lin Mo roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie acted immediately. Earlier, Lingna had dried and ground several Starlight Moss leaves into pale gold powder. Ellie carefully scattered it evenly over the crimson alloy plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss—!” The powder met the heat and instantly vaporized into wisps of pale gold mist, as if alive, coiling around the crimson alloy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now!” Lin Mo focused all his will, communing with the Seed of Life. A pure emerald stream of life energy surged along his arm, into the scorching metal rod, and into the crimson alloy plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald energy, pale gold natural mist, dim red earthfire embers, deep blue alloy base—all fused unpredictably under the infernal heat. The alloy plate shuddered violently, its color flashing rapidly between crimson, deep blue, pale gold, and emerald, humming with resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process drained spirit and strength mercilessly. Lin Mo was drenched in sweat; his arm trembled violently from heat and energy output; his vision darkened in waves. Ellie guarded him vigilantly, continuously handing him fresh Starlight Moss powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like an eternity, as Lin Mo felt he could no longer hold on, the alloy plate’s trembling and humming ceased. The light dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his last strength, Lin Mo pulled the metal rod from the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cooled “armor fragment” lay before them. No larger than a breastplate, it glowed with a deep, heavy dark gold, its surface covered in fine, lava-cooled crackle patterns, within which faint emerald and pale gold threads pulsed. It felt warm to the touch, yet contained a restrained, violent power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item: Earthfire-Forged Shield Fragment (Temporary)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Activated by energy infusion, forms a brief energy shield (Strength: Medium). Significant resistance to spatial tearing, energy erosion, and withering corruption. Duration: Extremely short (~10–15 seconds). Uses: 1.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: A miracle forged with earthfire as furnace, life as catalyst, nature as covenant. Carries the hope and protective will of two worlds.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Success! Though only a single-use, crude armor fragment, it was their only hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo solemnly handed the warm, dark-gold fragment to Ellie. “Take it! Ellie! Go to the Elf Realm! Only you can retrieve the Moonlight Crystal or a sacred relic in the shortest time! Lingna will guide your coordinates through Starlight Moss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie stared at the fragment pulsing with violent and life-giving power. A flicker of complex emotion passed through her cold eyes. She did not ask why her—only pressed the fragment tightly against her chest and nodded firmly. “Coordinates?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna immediately focused, communing with the healthiest Starlight Moss. Its leaves shimmered again under faint light, projecting a blurred image of Moonshadow Lake. Lingna strained to transmit the image’s details and spatial orientation to Ellie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie closed her eyes, carefully sensing the information from Lingna and the spatial pull emanating from the fragment in her hand. Her body subtly adjusted its stance, like the most precise javelin, locking onto the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ready.” Ellie’s voice was calm, unshaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo instantly focused, communing with the Thorns Channel node deep within his mind, pouring the Seed of Life’s energy and spatial stabilization power into the dark-gold fragment in Ellie’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-gold fragment erupted in blinding light! Emerald, dark gold, and pale gold energy streams wove together, forming a luminous cocoon enveloping Ellie entirely. The cocoon quivered violently, radiating intense spatial distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Target: Moonshadow Lake! Teleport!” Lin Mo roared inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cocoon, with Ellie inside, vanished instantly—leaving only a rapidly expanding ripple of distorted space and a faint scent of burnt ozone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teleport successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Lingna stared anxiously at the spot where Ellie had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine roar from the east surged violently! On the horizon, a colossal steel silhouette—like a moving mountain—crushed through the ruins and came into view. A pale blue energy shield shimmered with cold brilliance under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Scorpion’s “Sanitation Unit” had arrived! Faster than expected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive triple-mounted plasma cannon turrets slowly rotated, their deep blue muzzles beginning to glow as they locked onto the center of the depression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrench! Lingna! Prepare for battle!” Lin Mo struggled to his feet, gripping his hunting rifle, his eyes burning with fatal resolve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie had embarked on the quest to save the elves—while the wasteland’s death cannon now aimed at their home. The final defense of Hope Outpost erupted under the shadow of the “Sanitation Unit.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-21T00:09:53.357Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7f51e000fa6d1d0b03bd85ee0f459728b1d99f5907d66cee8f6558f7394852c5","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-39","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-37",247,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-cover.jpg"]
