Swallowed Star : Sign in to Become a God

The Caspian Sea, the largest saltwater lake in the world, is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, spanning 371,800 square kilometers.

However, it has now become a paradise for monsters.

In the clear blue sky, beneath the long white clouds, a black streak suddenly shot through the air, coming to a halt above the Caspian Sea.

"Goo!"

A group of bird-like monsters, dwelling in the nearby mountains and snowy peaks, quickly noticed the intruder. Led by several lord-level bird leaders, tens of thousands of these creatures rushed towards a black, metallic, triangular-shaped fighter jet. For a moment, the sky seemed filled with a dark cloud of birds.

The hatch of the fighter jet opened automatically. A black-haired youth, clad in a gray-black combat suit, black boots, and wielding two dark red war blades, stepped out. He glanced at the approaching swarm of bird-like monsters and flashed a murderous smile.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish...

Dozens of silver lights shot out from the black-haired youth, traveling at terrifying speeds—more than ten times the speed of sound—toward the oncoming bird-like monsters.

The lord-level monsters at the front immediately sensed the danger. Their massive pupils dilated in terror as they reflected the deadly silver lights.

Splat! Splat!

The silver streaks sliced through them effortlessly, disappearing into the distance as they pierced through the monsters. The unlucky creatures following them soon shared the same fate.

Each silver light moved at speeds exceeding ten times the speed of sound, and Wang Yi, the black-haired youth, controlled dozens of flying blades simultaneously. Though not operating at full power, each blade carried over a million kilograms of force.

For these lord-level monsters, it was nothing short of a massacre.

Blood splattered across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the birds surrounding Wang Yi's fighter were all slain, leaving a large gap of open air. The lifeless bodies of the creatures fell from the sky like rain, but Wang Yi had no interest in collecting their remains.

Those birds that had not yet been killed were terrified. They screeched in panic, scattering in all directions, instinctively knowing that this seemingly frail human was far too dangerous to confront.

Wang Yi paid them no further attention.

"Civilization Relic No. 27 should be here," he muttered, looking down at the vast inland sea below.

The ancient relics of human civilization were mostly located in remote, dangerous places that were hard to access—otherwise, they would have been discovered long ago. Most had already been explored, and anything of value had long since been taken.

Wang Yi transformed into a streak of light, diving deep into the water. Though the lake was home to more monsters, none posed a challenge for him.

He continued descending, eventually reaching an underground cavity about 2,000 meters below the surface. Inside this space stood a peculiar black structure, reminiscent of a towering iron fortress, covered in indecipherable markings.

Unconcerned by the human monitoring systems nearby, Wang Yi used his spiritual powers, confident that he wouldn't be detected. He wasn't the first powerful individual to explore ancient relics, and he wouldn't be the last.

Relic No. 27 had been thoroughly searched before, and no dangers remained. What was left was considered worthless by most explorers.

Wang Yi approached the strange black tower within 100 meters, silently gazing at it before muttering, "Sign in."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and receiving one ton of 'Lingkafu Star Ore'.]

[The 'Lingkafu Star Ore' has been stored in the panel space.]

[Number of remaining sign-ins for this location: 0]

Wang Yi accessed his panel space and noticed an icon representing the ore, which looked strikingly similar to the material of the black tower in front of him.

"Lingkafu Star Ore," Wang Yi murmured with a smirk, "What am I supposed to do with this?"

The downside of receiving random rewards through the sign-in panel had surfaced.

The ore could indeed enhance Wang Yi's abilities by being crafted into weapons or armor, but whether it was worth it or necessary was a different matter altogether.

Lingkafu Star Ore was a high-quality material in the universe, likely reaching a B9 level, but Earth's current technology was far from being able to process it.

For now, Wang Yi would simply store it away, perhaps to sell it in the future.

It was a fruitless venture this time around.

"Wang Yi, an advanced God of War spiritual Reader from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, visited Civilization Relic No. 27," read a report from various monitoring forces.

"He has left."

"No anomalies detected."

Reports of Wang Yi's brief appearance in the ancient relic were quickly dismissed, as he hadn't shown any unusual behavior.

…

Sitting in his fighter's cabin, Wang Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"I've applied to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall to explore Civilization Relic No. 9. I wonder when I'll be allowed in."

Some ancient civilization relics were under the control of powerful organizations, like Relic No. 9, located in the Amazon rainforest. It was managed by several parties, including the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Entry required their approval.

As a senior member of the Hall, Wang Yi had every right to visit the site, but he had to wait for his request to be processed.

"First, I'll sign in at the unclaimed relics, then move on to those controlled by various factions, and finally, the three most dangerous locations." That was Wang Yi's plan.

In a desolate desert, sandstorms raged across the landscape.

Peng!

A figure shot up into the air. A person clad in black armor, carrying twin blood-red blades, emerged, revealing only his eyes.

Whoosh! A black streak passed by, transforming into a flowing black cloak as a handsome youth in a gray-black combat suit became visible.

It was Wang Yi.

Now wearing three layers of armor—Cloud Vine beneath his skin, an SS-grade combat suit, and the Black God suit—he was well-protected.

"This relic in Egypt gave me a first-order Force sword," Wang Yi thought with satisfaction.

The sword's quality far surpassed any Earth-made weapons, allowing him to channel energy and greatly enhance its power.

Though he preferred dual blades, Wang Yi was still pleased.

A black triangular fighter jet flew over and stopped beside him. The hatch opened, and Wang Yi flew inside.

"Time to sign in at the next relic," he said, brimming with energy.

There were still dozens of ancient civilization relics waiting for him to discover.
