Lu Yunhe's Human Avatar was training in the Amazon Jungle, while his Ultraman Avatar traveled to civilization ruins across the world.

"Civilization Ruin No. 8, an undersea Spaceship!"

Following the location marked on the Map, Lu Yunhe controlled his Ultraman Avatar to transform into light and plunged directly into the depths ten thousand meters beneath the sea. At this time, the conflict between humans and Monsters had yet to disturb this world.

If everyone was strengthened, it was the same as no one being strengthened. The various undersea Monsters, whose gaps in strength had yet to widen sufficiently, still lived as they always had.

"Found it!"

With a relatively precise location, the Ultraman Avatar quickly found the Spaceship slumbering beneath the sea.

This was a Spaceship discovered by a human undersea Detector before the Great Cataclysm. However, with humanity's technology at the time, they had been helpless against the ocean depths, let alone after the Great Cataclysm.

Thus, after discovering it, they had merely marked its location and waited for their technological level to improve before exploring it.

The reason the Ultraman Avatar had chosen this place was naturally because this ruin had never been explored by humans. Perhaps it had left behind something good.

At this moment, the Spaceship had been occupied by a king-level undersea octopus, which had made it its home.

"Shoo, shoo!"

Like chasing away a mosquito, the Ultraman Avatar easily drove off the giant octopus, then used Mental Power to locate the Spaceship's entrance.

Gurgle, gurgle...

Amid a string of bubbling sounds, the Ultraman Avatar barged into the Spaceship.

Whether because the Spaceship's level was too low or because it had fallen into disrepair over the years, there were no laser attacks in the passageway.

"Looks like this is just an ordinary Spaceship."

The Ultraman Avatar searched through the interior of the Spaceship. Nearly everything had been corroded by time, leaving nothing behind—not even a skeleton.

Just as the Ultraman Avatar was utterly disappointed, he finally discovered a bracer in the Spaceship's control room.

"Could this be an Intelligent Light Brain?"

The Ultraman Avatar's heart stirred. Recalling the method of claiming an Auxiliary Light Brain from the original story, he cautiously transformed directly into his aerial form. With his Mental Power amplified twofold, he carefully infiltrated the bracer with his consciousness.

Under the infiltration of his Mental Power, the Ultraman Avatar easily discovered a crystal core within the bracer.

The moment his telekinesis saw the crystal core, a preprogrammed image appeared before the Ultraman Avatar's eyes.

"****..."

The image showed a human very similar to an Earthling, speaking a string of words the Ultraman Avatar could not understand. It was probably Universal Cosmic Language.

However, judging from the other party's expression, the Ultraman Avatar could roughly guess what had happened.

Only after the image finished playing did the Ultraman Avatar's Mental Power fully merge with the crystal core within the bracer, claiming it as its master.

After the ownership claim, the Smart Bracer rapidly adhered to his skin. At the same time, it connected with the smartphone on the Ultraman Avatar's body and gathered information about Earthlings from it.

After a brief pause, a mechanical voice speaking Chinese sounded beside the Ultraman Avatar's ear. "XXX-model Intelligent Light Brain offers its highest greetings to its master."

"So it really is an Intelligent Light Brain, though it doesn't seem very intelligent."

The Ultraman Avatar pondered for a moment before asking, "Translate the information in that image just now, as well as your current state."

"Yes!"

The Intelligent Light Brain quickly translated the Universal Cosmic Language from the image into Chinese. "Kind soul who has obtained my Intelligent Light Brain, please do not repair the Light Brain's damaged database. This is the final plea of the deceased."

After understanding the message in the image, the Ultraman Avatar's mouth twitched slightly. The Light Brain's former owner had long since programmed it so that upon death, it would format and erase the data within the Light Brain, leaving behind an almost blank Intelligent Light Brain.

Senior, rest assured. I will protect your innocence. Even after I enter the universe in the future, I will not restore the Light Brain's previous data.

The Ultraman Avatar silently recited this in his heart. Although he had not found anything else in the Spaceship, an Intelligent Light Brain was still nice. Exploring ruins would be much more convenient now.

Although the Intelligent Light Brain had been formatted, that mainly targeted usage data. The programs and information built into the Light Brain itself remained, and for the Ultraman Avatar, the most important thing was naturally Universal Cosmic Language.

Most ruins across Earth were Spaceships. Exploring them would be troublesome if he could not understand the language. Moreover, with the Ultraman Avatar's strength, a moment of carelessness could cause catastrophic destruction.

"Light Brain, let me give you a name!"

Now that he had an Intelligent Light Brain, the Ultraman Avatar naturally had to name it. After some thought, he recalled a powerful great god from Ultraman Great World. "Your name will be—Dracion!"

"Name assigned successfully!"

The Intelligent Light Brain—no, Dracion—changed its virtual image into that of a metal robot.

At the same time, Dracion also refreshed the Ultraman Avatar's data. "Strength: Mental Power (Planetary Level Eighth Order), Gene Energy (Planetary Level Eighth Order)."

Because he had not specifically used his power, Dracion could not display his exact progress in strength. At the same time, an Intelligent Light Brain of this level could not detect something like genetic multiplier. Or rather, even a Universe Master could not see through the genetic multiplier of even a Planetary Level existence without directly injecting Divine Power into the other party's body.

The Ultraman Avatar did not care much about his exact strength or cultivation progress. The former was already recorded in the Cheat Compendium, while the latter rose over time, so there was no need to worry much.

What concerned him besides that was his Domain of Light. The Illustrated Compendium did not display anything he had comprehended himself at all.

After the Ultraman Avatar used his Domain of Light, Dracion also provided the Domain's intensity. "Light Ray Domain (second level)."

"I didn't expect my Domain to have reached the second level!"

Looking at the data Dracion had provided, the Ultraman Avatar was somewhat surprised as well. It had only been a few months since he had comprehended the Domain of Light, yet he had already reached the second level. As expected of a Giant of Light.

After examining his body's condition, the Ultraman Avatar impatiently entered the personal virtual space constructed by Dracion. Unfortunately, after the formatting, the entire virtual space was completely blank.

At the same time, because the Ultraman Avatar had never opened an account in the real world and was effectively an unregistered user of the Virtual Universe Network, he could not use Dracion to connect his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network that covered the entire universe.

In the world of Swallowed Star, the two key factors that allowed people who had not even reached Immortal level to freely roam the universe were the Virtual Universe Network, which provided real-time communication across the entire universe, and the Dark Universe, which was equivalent to giving every Light Speed Spaceship a ten-millionfold acceleration boost.

Without these two things, below Immortal level, even World Lord level powerhouses would have to obediently spend their days within a star system. Forget about traveling to other star systems.

"What a pity!"

Unable to connect to the Virtual Universe Network, the Ultraman Avatar truly felt deeply regretful. He then searched the Spaceship again, and after finding nothing good, flew toward the next ruin.
