Xiao Yang passed through the deep passage and soon arrived at a hall shrouded in dreamlike, multicolored light!

This palace was as beautiful as if immortals lived within it.

Dreamlike colored lights flowed endlessly through its interior.

The palace itself was dozens of meters long and wide, roughly the size of a stadium.

As Xiao Yang arrived, a large amount of colored light gathered together, quickly forming a vague, towering humanoid figure.

Soon, the colored light gradually solidified into a Bald Crystal Man.

"Hello, Xiao Yang."

The Bald Crystal Man smiled at Xiao Yang as he spoke.

What surprised Xiao Yang was that the other party spoke Chinese rather than the universal language he had heard before.

However, he was only slightly surprised. It was not entirely unexpected to him.

But the Bald Crystal Man seemed to have misunderstood something and said to Xiao Yang with a smile.

"Don't be surprised. The development of humanity on this planet has all been under my surveillance."

"Your changes in writing, culture, and history have all been monitored."

"Of course I understand your writing and language."

"In order to make this easier for you to accept, I am speaking with you in a human form."

"Your human technology is still in its initial stages."

"So I know all your information, including your name."

"When you first entered this place, I called your name once already."

Only then did Xiao Yang realize.

Indeed, when he had first begun the trial, the other party had directly called his name.

He had not reacted at the time.

After all, all his attention had been on the Death Trial.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly shot from the crystal bald man's body and flew into Xiao Yang's communication wristband.

"This—"

Before Xiao Yang could say anything, the Bald Crystal Man smiled and said.

"What I am about to tell you must be kept confidential, so I first need to delete the information in your communication wristband and block it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang said nothing more.

There was a backdoor in the communication wristband. He had known that without even thinking about it.

It had actually been mentioned in the original story.

"Now, I will give you the reward for successfully completing the trial mission."

As he spoke, a trace of complicated emotion flashed across the Bald Crystal Man's face.

"Although you passed by taking a shortcut, your talent is quite good. Sooner or later, you would have passed through your own efforts."

"Besides, the Death Trial mission was merely to break through the wall."

"So you still count as having passed the Death Trial."

As he spoke, the Bald Crystal Man waved a hand.

The next moment, several items from deep within the palace flew over, borne by a stream of colored light.

There were four items in total: a black glove, a silver armguard, a book glimmering with faint starlight, and a hexagonal metal token.

"The first item is what you call the Black God Suit."

"The second, the silver armguard-shaped item, is an Auxiliary Light Brain!"

"The third is the controller's attack technique, Heaven-Escaping."

"The fourth is the token for entering Meteor Ink Star."

When he mentioned the Meteor Ink Star Token, he unconsciously sighed.

"Alas, unfortunately, I have now lost contact with Meteor Ink Star. You will not be able to use the token to travel there either."

Xiao Yang understood this perfectly well, so he did not say much.

Since Xiao Yang did not ask, the Bald Crystal Man would not explain it himself.

After all, Meteor Ink Star no longer existed.

"Although you do not have a Sky-Escaping Shuttle, this controller attack technique is still more powerful than attacking blindly on your own."

"Unfortunately, if contact with Meteor Ink Star could be restored, you might be able to obtain a Sky-Escaping Shuttle in the future."

The Bald Crystal Man shook his head and did not continue speaking about it.

He briefly introduced the functions of these four—or rather, three—rewards to Xiao Yang.

The Black God Suit was a combat uniform, the silver armguard was a light brain, and Heaven-Escaping was a Psychic Secret Art.

"Alright, you now know the functions and information of these rewards."

"I have already deleted all information regarding the ruins from your communication wristband."

"I have recorded the contents of the 312 Forms in your light brain."

"Remember, the contents of the 312 Forms must not be leaked!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yang immediately agreed.

Seeing Xiao Yang agree, the Bald Crystal Man continued.

"To break through to Planetary Level, your Psychic Power Amplitude must reach a certain level."

"Your current Psychic Power Amplitude is 10."

"An ordinary Psychic may be able to break through upon reaching 12."

"But because your Brain-Domain Width is relatively high, you may need to reach 20 before breaking through."

"So after you return, you still need to properly cultivate the 312 Forms."

"As for the breakthrough method, I have already installed it in your light brain."

"Work hard and grow stronger. Right now, you are the only person on Earth who belongs to Meteor Ink Star. I still hope you can become the strongest person on this planet!"

"Alright, the passage back has already opened. You may leave."

As he spoke, the palace wall behind Xiao Yang began to writhe, forming a passage made from countless intertwined dark brown roots.

At the end of the passage stood a glowing mirror!

The method of entering the Ancient Civilization Ruins back then had been to step into a similar mirror.

Hearing this, Xiao Yang turned and prepared to leave.

Just then, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the Bald Crystal Man.

"May I ask if you can transfer some basic information about the universe into my light brain?"

"And information about some items from the universe."

"I want to visit other Earth factions and see whether I can obtain some good things from the universe."

Xiao Yang knew quite a lot about the Primordial Universe.

However, he had only learned of it through written records.

For example, he did not know what Black Dragon Coins looked like.

He also did not know what various metals and other materials looked like.

The Bald Crystal Man did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

"No problem."

The next moment, a ray of colored light shot toward Xiao Yang's light brain.

A stream of information immediately flashed across the silver armguard.

Xiao Yang could now barely be considered a member of Meteor Ink Star.

Although the Bald Crystal Man was an artificial intelligence, he also possessed some human emotions.

He also considered himself a member of Meteor Ink Star.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree to such a simple request from Xiao Yang.

"Thank you!"

A trace of delight flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes as he bowed to the Bald Crystal Man.

Then he turned and left.

The underground base of Ruins No. 9.

The passage slowly opened.

Quite a few staff members turned to look toward the passage.

"It seems God of War Xiao Yang is unharmed."

Xiao Yang had only entered for a month, so in many people's eyes, he should not have died yet.

Although most Gods of War who could emerge did so within a month.

The longest record was someone who had stayed inside for a month and a half!

Before that amount of time had passed, the martial arts hall could not declare someone dead.

As Xiao Yang walked out, a beam of light immediately fell upon him and scanned him.

"Welcome back, God of War Xiao Yang."
