Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

The headquarters of the Chinese military is located in a massive fortress east of Kyoto Base City, which is also where the most powerful individuals in China are gathered.

Xu Qiankun and the other two arrived and went straight into the playground. At this time, a silver-gray Qiankun-class spaceship was parked on the playground, and eight War God level experts had already arrived.

"Chen Yan, I knew you'd go this time."

"Hey Chen, I heard you bastard got incredibly lucky. Your team got a phenomenal new member. Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

As soon as the three arrived, five of the eight War Gods surrounded them, greeting Chen Yan while staring curiously at Qu Ying and Xu Qiankun.

"Can't you guys speak properly?" Chen Yan wasn't annoyed. A smug look appeared on his seemingly honest face. He pointed to Qu Ying and introduced her to everyone, "This is Qu Ying, a mid-level War God-level mentalist. She can control five flying knives and her combat power is comparable to a high-level War God."

After saying that, Chen Yan pulled Xu Qiankun over again. "This is Xu Qiankun, the pillar of my Rock Team, a high-level war god. He has already killed seven high-level lord monsters on his own. His strength is definitely at the level of an invincible war god."

"Hello, War God Xu"

"Xu Zhansheng, I am Luo Qiang, a high-level War God Warrior."

"Xu Zhanshen, I am Long Sheng. Please take care of me."

The war gods greeted him warmly, and Xu Qiankun responded with a smile.

"Qiankun, Quying, let me introduce you." Chen Yan led the two men and pointed to a man who looked to be in his thirties who immediately said "Damn it." He introduced him as Luo Qiang from the Southwest Base City. He once fought against a Lord-level monster during a beast tide. His penis was torn off by the monster. He was extremely fierce.

"Chen Yan, you damn thing!"

When Luo Qiang saw Chen Yan publicly expose his shortcomings, he immediately became anxious.

"Alright, alright, you're such a grown man, stop making a fuss."

Just then, a young man wearing a military-style combat uniform, exuding an aura of steel, walked over, with four golden general stars on his shoulders.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Apart from Xu Qiankun, the other ten people, including Qu Ying, immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw the young man, their faces showing nervousness.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending," the young man waved his hand, then walked up to Xu Qiankun and asked with a smile, "You're Xu Qiankun?"

"Yes, sir."

Xu Qiankun quickly saluted.

"You're quite good," the young man returned the salute, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Xu Qiankun. "My name is Zhao Yunshan, I am the deputy commander of the Chinese military, and one of the four councilors of the Chinese military in the War God Palace. I hope you can become the fifth councilor."

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do my best."

Xu Qiankun gave a firm and resounding answer.

"Okay, when that day really comes, I'll definitely get the other guys involved and throw you a celebration banquet."

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's set off."

As Zhao Yunshan spoke, the hatch of the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet opened directly, and he went inside first, followed by Xu Qiankun, Chen Yan, and others.

The spaceship soared into the sky at an extremely high speed and quickly moved away from China. Zhao Yunshan stood up and said, "Let me give you a detailed introduction to this No. 9 ruin."

"There are about thirty existing relics on Earth. The relics are ranked in chronological order, so this No. 9 relic is the ninth relic discovered by us Earthlings."

Everyone listened quietly.

"The No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic is a trial-type relic, which is divided into two types: 'Type A Passage' and 'Type B Passage'. Martial artists generally enter the depths of the relic through the 'Type A Passage', while mentalists generally enter the depths of the relic through the 'Type B Passage'."

"Everyone's experience after entering the ruins is different, so the experiences of those who came before you are not of much reference value. Moreover, the difficulty of clearing the level is different for everyone, so don't be careless just because you are strong..."

Xu Qiankun and the others listened attentively to Zhao Yunshan's introduction of the ruins and other precautions, keeping all the information in mind.

Finally, under Zhao Yunshan's control, a translation software was implanted into the communication wristwatches of Xu Qiankun and the other eleven people.

"The language and writing system in Ruins 9 are different from those of us on Earth. This software will solve the problem of language barriers. Also, this software is only temporarily installed on your communication watches. Once you come out of the ruins, you will need to return it to me to uninstall it."

"If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask them now."

"Commander, you just mentioned more than thirty historical sites. Will we have the opportunity to enter all of them?" a war god asked.

"Except for a few ruins that are controlled by various forces, most ruins can be entered as long as you have the ability," Zhao Yunshan replied. "However, compared to Ruins No. 9, some other ruins are much more dangerous. For example, Ruins No. 1 has never been entered by any strong person and is known as one of the three forbidden zones."

......

The fighter jets quickly arrived at the Amazon rainforest in South America and swooped down.

The fighter jet landed, the cabin door opened, and Xu Qiankun and eleven other martial artists emerged, led by Zhao Yunshan.

The ground trembled slightly, then parted to reveal a passage leading underground. An elderly man in a red robe stepped out of the elevator and bowed slightly to Zhao Yunshan, saying, "Councilor Zhao."

"Hmm," Zhao Yunshan nodded slightly to the old man in red robes, then looked at Xu Qiankun and the other eleven people. "I hope you can all come out of the ruins alive."

After saying that, Zhao Yunshan boarded the fighter jet and soared into the sky.

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to enter the ruins."

The old man in the red robe said.

"Okay, please lead the way."

Qu Ying said with a sweet smile.

The elevator doors opened, and the old man in the red robe entered first, followed closely by Xu Qiankun and the others.

High in the sky, aboard the Qiankun fighter jet, Zhao Yunshan gazed at the spot where Xu Qiankun and the other eleven had disappeared, a complex emotion on his face.

"I wonder how many more people won't make it out this time."

Zhao Yunshan's feelings were very complicated. Entering Ruins No. 9, he could obtain a Black God Set if he successfully completed the trial, or he would either die or be crippled if he failed.

Being disabled isn't so bad, as there are many treasures on Earth that can cure it.

Given the military's resources, obtaining plant spirits for the war gods is indeed not easy, since there are very few plant spirits on Earth. However, obtaining 'water of life' would be much easier.

"I hope Xu Qiankun doesn't run into any trouble."

They valued all the members who could enter the No. 9 Relic Site, and Xu Qiankun was the one they valued the most.

His displayed strength has alarmed the real high command, and even Commander Jia Yi personally inquired about it, and even planned to coordinate a set of Black God armor for him.

In the eyes of the military's top leaders, Xu Qiankun is already the next powerful figure in China to surpass the God of War level.

With the talent he has shown, he could even become a powerful being like Hong and Thor in the future.

Therefore, when they learned that Xu Qiankun wanted to enter Ruins No. 9, many of them opposed it, feeling that such a genius should not be allowed to take such a risk.

Ultimately, Jia Yi made the final decision to allow him to venture into the ruins.

You can't raise a tiger in a greenhouse. Even if you could, it would only be a big, sick cat, good only as a pet.

Whether it's Hong, Thor, or characters like Merhandson, East, and Atkin, which one didn't grow up through battle?

China desperately needs a strong leader to shoulder the responsibility.

......

Stepping out of the elevator, everyone saw a brightly lit black corridor made of alloy, unlike anything found underground.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Human Settlement Base of Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9," the red-robed elder said in Chinese. "Now I will take you to the entrance of the ruins."

Led by the old man in red robes, Xu Qiankun and his group passed through nine checkpoints and arrived at a large hall of several hundred square meters, where hundreds of people from various forces on Earth were guarding computers.

Upon seeing the eleven people following the old man in the red robe, the staff members were overly excited, especially a few of the guys from China, who were even moved to tears.

"Alright, everyone, are you all ready?" the red-robed elder asked.

"Can"

Xu Qiankun and the others nodded solemnly.

"In that case, let's open the entrance to the ruins."
