Remains of Level Nine Civilization

In the Amazon rainforest of South America, at night, a Universe-class intelligent fighter descended from the sky, slowly landing.

"Is this where the No. 9 Civilization Relic is located?" Several war gods, including Wang Yi, who were about to enter the relic, looked around.

This was a barren area in the jungle, and no monsters dared to approach it.

As Wang Yi's 5th-star mental power spread out, it was easy for him to detect the human base located several hundred meters underground.

After Enchantrees left, Wang Yi and the others were led into the base by an elderly man in a red robe, using an underground elevator.

The curved alloy wall at the front of the base's hall cracked open, revealing a circular passage.

At the beginning, the passage seemed to be made of alloy for the first few meters, but after that, it transitioned into a strange dark brown material, resembling intertwined tree roots forming the tunnel.

At the end of the passage, there was something resembling a mirror, emitting a constant glow. The war gods who were seeing it for the first time were visibly shocked.

Only Wang Yi remained calm, silently gazing at the circular passage while thinking to himself.

"Check-in."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, and receiving the core secret of the "Twenty-Four Star God" from the Spiritual Master of Meteor Star.]

[Your mind power has increased.]

[Number of check-ins available for this location: 0]

"Om!!!"

For a brief moment, Wang Yi's mind felt as though his soul was trembling.

A mysterious and incredible force quietly transformed his soul's consciousness.

Countless memories imprinted themselves deep within his soul, as if being reforged.

In an instant, he mastered the core secret technique of the Meteor Star known as the "Twenty-Four Star God!"

The process of signing in and receiving the power that affected his soul and consciousness took less than a fraction of a second, too fast for anyone to notice.

Wang Yi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he took a deep breath.

Originally, after breaking through to the planetary level, Wang Yi's mind power amplitude had been at 8. Despite regular training, the increase in his mental power amplitude had been slow.

But now, the "Twenty-Four Star God" technique had directly boosted Wang Yi's mental power amplitude to 24!

His mind power had tripled in one go!

This meant that he could now control 24 weapons simultaneously, each capable of reaching maximum attack power!

Moreover, as the core secret technique of the Meteor Star, the "Twenty-Four Star God" might not be at the highest level, but it was still far more powerful than anything found on Earth. The attack techniques it provided were both unpredictable and mysterious, significantly enhancing Wang Yi's combat abilities.

Wang Yi exhaled slowly.

As expected, it had been a major success.

For Wang Yi, any rewards that could enhance his strength were the most valuable.

The war gods standing at the entrance of the passage were silent, and Wang Yi stepped forward, entering first without a word.

The others exchanged glances before following him into the passage, vanishing one by one into the circular mirror that emitted a radiant light.

...

This was a black hall, with the upper part shaped like a hemisphere. The entire hall spanned hundreds of square meters, bathed in a dreamy light streaming down from the ceiling, making the place feel surreal.

"Is this the No. 9 Civilization Relic?" Wang Yi stood in the hall, observing his surroundings. As expected, he was alone.

In fact, each war god that entered appeared in similar, isolated halls.

"Warriors and spiritual masters have separate test channels," Wang Yi noted. According to the information available, the No. 9 Civilization Relic was divided into type A and type B channels.

However, they were unaware of the true secrets behind the No. 9 Civilization Relic.

Suddenly, a misty light enveloped Wang Yi.

It lasted for about a minute.

"Xx, xx, xx..." A rhythmic, harsh sound echoed throughout the black hall.

"It begins," Wang Yi thought calmly.

He knew this relic was originally a Meteor Star training ground used to select elite apprentices, particularly favoring spiritual masters. Though injuries might occur during the trials, no one had ever died here.

The communication watch on his wrist began sounding an alarm—"Alert, alert, alert..."

Then, crystal-like ropes swiftly wrapped around Wang Yi, binding him.

Wang Yi did not resist but waited patiently.

Soon, the test was complete. The crystal ropes retracted into the ceiling, merging with the walls.

At the same time, a long message echoed in the hall once again: "Xxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxx..."

Translated into Chinese: "Congratulations, your brain width is 24, greater than 18, and you are eligible to enter the 'Elite Channel' of this trial base. As this is the first time in 5,000 years that the Elite Channel has been opened, please wait for 15 minutes."

Wang Yi blinked. This was the same treatment that Luo Feng had received in the original story, but Wang Yi was already a fifth-level spiritual master with a mind power amplitude of 24. Wasn't this test a bit too simple for him?

"Xxxxxxx..." A voice echoed again as the walls of the black hall began trembling. Wang Yi glanced at his communication watch, where the text translated to: "Please enter the Elite Channel."

A deep, bottomless black passage opened up in the wall. Complex characters were inscribed next to it, matching the ones displayed on his watch.

Wang Yi took one last glance before flying into the channel.

Soon, he encountered nine branching paths ahead.

Wang Yi chose the fourth path on the left.

After a short distance, another set of nine paths appeared.

Once again, Wang Yi chose the fourth from the left.

He extended his mental power to explore his surroundings but quickly realized that his power couldn't penetrate the walls of the passage—it was isolated.

After a while, Wang Yi stopped.

At both the nine forks ahead and behind him, men in black robes wearing silver-gray masks emerged.

Wang Yi frowned slightly. These black-robed figures should have been monsters created by the ruins to assess outsiders, but they didn't seem like God of War-level opponents to him.

"Boom!"

All 18 black-robed figures moved at once, their speed exceeding ten times the speed of sound. Even a fifth-order star-level warrior might struggle to reach such speeds.

"Die!" Wang Yi's eyes gleamed coldly as 18 throwing knives flew out, forming beautiful arcs as they sped towards one of the black-robed figures.

Simultaneously, Wang Yi unsheathed his sword, stepping heavily on the ground. With a tremendous burst of force, he shot forward like an arrow.

"Peng!!"

The black-robed figure, under attack by Wang Yi's 18 throwing knives, tried to block them with his silver-gray gloves, but he was too slow. The knives skillfully avoided his defenses, bombarding his body with a dull thud. The impact sent him flying like a cannonball, smashing into the passage wall.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

The throwing knives quickly followed up, slicing through the air and striking his neck with lightning speed.

At Wang Yi's level of genetic enhancement, each knife hit with the full power of a sixth- or seventh-level spiritual master, tearing through the black-robed man's body with terrifying force.

With a chilling sound of destruction, the head of the black-robed man was shattered.
