In the dark, deep sea, Wang Yi swiftly dived according to the map coordinates obtained from the auxiliary optical brain.
The No. 12 relic of this ancient civilization is actually the mothership of a cosmic fleet. A long time ago, the owner of Meteorite came to the Milky Way and claimed it as his territory. The space fleet was destroyed by a single thought-wave attack.
This mothership crashed into the depths of the Pacific Ocean and remained hidden for tens of thousands of years before it was discovered by humans.
What represents this mysterious relic is not the massive, damaged mothership, which is 16,000 meters long, but rather a smaller, flying-saucer-shaped spaceship about 100 meters in diameter, contained within it.
For many years, the nations of Earth have tried everything they could to access this black, saucer-shaped spacecraft. Countless people died attempting to explore it, even powerful members of Congress fell here. Yet, to this day, the craft remains perfectly intact.
The ocean seemed endless, appearing calm on the surface, but it hid boundless dangers, teeming with sea monsters. However, none of them posed any threat to Wang Yi, as they were immediately killed by the monster as soon as they got close.
The distance from the surface to the seabed was around 5,100 meters, with the No. 12 relic located 3,300 meters beneath the ocean floor.
With the aid of optical brain navigation and Wang Yi's formidable strength, he easily reached a depth of about 5,000 meters, where the seabed appeared like a range of mountains.
Boom! Wang Yi, wrapped in fiery red genetic energy, crashed into the seabed rock like a meteor, tunneling deeper.
One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers… Wang Yi gradually slowed his pace. His mental powers detected an object that differed from the surrounding rock formations.
Wang Yi's mental range covered more than a kilometer, yet even from this distance, he couldn't grasp the entire scale of this colossal object.
The wreckage of this 16,000-meter-long spacecraft was even more astonishing than the giant ship at Hong's headquarters.
While Wang Yi could immediately check in here for rewards, he knew that better items would appear if he was within 100 meters of the target. This was the sign-in rule he had discovered.
"According to the data, this mothership is 16,000 meters long, 3,200 meters wide, and 800 meters tall," Wang Yi mused. "I need to find the core area."
The core area was where the greatest dangers lurked.
Wang Yi navigated using internal data provided by Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
About ten minutes later, he reached a hidden chamber deep inside the mothership.
In this massive, secret compartment, a flying saucer-shaped spacecraft, about 100 meters in diameter, lay parked. The entire ship was black, its hull showing minimal signs of corrosion despite lying here for tens of thousands of years. On the body of the ship, a double-winged dragon emblem was still visible.
For years, many nations had sought to access this spacecraft, but all had failed.
Even 'Hong' and 'Thunder God,' the two most powerful humans, couldn't breach it.
Wang Yi observed the ship as though he could see its central control room, where the long-dead commander and three silent silver guards stood watch.
The most challenging part of relic No. 12 was the 'entry passage.' After opening the hatch, one would enter this deadly corridor!
At the end of this passage lay the 'Spaceship Gate.'
But once the hatch was opened, the entry passage turned into a laser trap!
The lasers emitted from this passage could easily kill beings of the fifth and sixth planetary levels.
Among Earth's human powers, only 'Hong' and 'Thunder God,' wearing their black battle suits, could reach the end of the passage, but even they were stumped by the gate itself.
Wang Yi, with his current power, could easily make it to the gate, but he couldn't open it.
The gate required someone at least at the third or fourth tier of a Universe level to lift it, and Wang Yi was not there yet.
But Wang Yi had no intention of going inside.
"Sign in."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You are rewarded with a Type X81 spaceship.]
[The X81 spaceship has been placed in your inventory panel.]
[No further check-ins are available for this location.]
The familiar voice from the sign-in panel echoed in Wang Yi's mind, filling him with excitement.
It was an X81 spaceship!
In this entire mothership, the most valuable object was probably this Black Dragon spaceship.
Wang Yi hadn't expected the sign-in panel to be this generous. After all, the better the reward, the harder it was to acquire—it all came down to luck.
"Well done," Wang Yi praised to himself.
The X81 spaceship was incredibly valuable, surpassing the total worth of all the other rewards Wang Yi had collected from other relics, except for the No. 9 Civilization Relic.
As he examined the items in his golden sign-in panel, he saw the X81 spaceship appear among them, looking just like a brand-new ship.
At the same time, Wang Yi received detailed information about the ship.
The full name of the spacecraft was 'Black Dragon Mountain—X81 Type Spaceship.'
It was a famous space exploration model from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire was a powerful regime ruling over the 'Black Dragon Mountain Star Region,' with the Silver Blue Empire, where the Milky Way resided, being one of over 500 vassals.
The hull of the spacecraft was made of a metal called 'black yttrium,' which could withstand even the attacks of world master level warriors.
A typical world master would require immense effort to destroy a ship of this caliber.
The X81 spaceship even came equipped with standard weapons capable of killing seventh- and eighth-tier universe beings.
Wang Yi, unlike Luo Feng from the original plot, didn't have to go through the trouble of destroying the spaceship's central control intelligence. He received a brand-new X81 spaceship, fully functional and intact!
He could now travel the universe in this perfect ship.
Wang Yi felt a surge of joy.
Just like in the original plot, the X81 spaceship contained three metal robots responsible for repairing the hull, made of black yttrium metal (C5 metal). It also had a large energy reserve in the storage room and three Silver Guards!
The 'Silver Guards' were special technological creations made from the highly valuable 'Silver' metal, far more expensive than black yttrium, with built-in intelligent systems. They could behave like real people, speaking and performing tasks.
Their bodies, composed of flowing silver, could easily absorb and dissipate impact, making them difficult to destroy.
In addition to the Silver Guards, the ship also carried two B9-level laser cannons, capable of killing ninth-level universe level beings.
"This time, I got a perfect spaceship," Wang Yi said, feeling elated as he emerged from the sea and hovered in mid-air.
"Next up are Bermuda and Shennongjia. I wonder what treasures I'll get from them." Wang Yi looked forward to the future with anticipation.
