Chapter 1

"Chime, congratulations to the host for signing in continuously for a thousand years in the 'Abyss of Demons.' Reward: one thousand 'Realm-Breaking Pills'!"

Chuwangyu looked at the small jar of pills that had suddenly appeared before him, and a hint of an expected expression appeared on his face.

Every year at this time, Chuwangyu would receive 'Realm-Breaking Pills' from the sign-in system he carried, corresponding to the number of years he had signed in.

As the name suggests, the Realm-Breaking Pill is a pill that can directly help one break through to a new realm.

More importantly, because it is produced by the system, it has no side effects and can be used repeatedly.

It is well known that the higher one's level, the harder it is to advance. Therefore, Chuwangyu had saved up all the Realm-Breaking Pills he had received from signing in over the past thousand years.

As Chuwangyu put the small jar of pills into his storage ring, his long sword did not slow down at all, and he casually cut down a group of demons and monsters in the area.

This place is an extremely special region, shrouded in darkness year-round, dominated by demons and monsters.

Chuwangyu had long learned from the sign-in system that this place is called the 'Abyss of Demons.'

Although Chuwangyu did not receive specific information about the 'Abyss of Demons,' just the name alone suggests that it is not a good place.

However, in such a sinister and eerie place, there was a young scholar in a Confucian robe wandering around, clearing out the numerous monsters, making the scene quite bizarre.

Especially when Chuwangyu, with his handsome and elegant appearance, was doing this, it made people even more suspicious about his identity.

With the sword light flashing in his hand, tigers, demons, ghost fires, spirits, and evil ghosts all vanished, unable to stand up to him.

"Ah—" Chuwangyu couldn't help but sigh, muttering to himself, "Since coming to this world, I have been signing in, honing my sword skills, and improving my cultivation in the Abyss of Demons. Unfortunately, as my level has increased, the monsters here have become less and less helpful in my advancement!"

"But..." Chuwangyu's tone changed, his expression resolute, "Even so, I will not leave this place easily, because... it is too safe for me here!"

Chuwangyu's gaze turned to the distant darkness, as if he could see the countless powerful beings outside the Abyss of Demons who could easily wipe him out.

Chuwangyu would never forget the scene he saw on the day he was transported here—

Countless demons, devils, monsters, and ghosts...

Countless immortals and cultivators riding celestial swords...

Countless Taoists and monks floating in the air...

Countless scholars and poets standing with their hands behind their backs...

And the enormous face in the sky that they all faced!

Fortunately, the sign-in system was very powerful. At the critical moment when the battle was about to break out, Chuwangyu signed in for the first time and received a 'Newbie Gift Pack,' which included a 'Random Teleportation Talisman.' He then used the talisman to teleport himself to this dark and sunless place.

The moment he was teleported here, countless terrifying creatures pounced on him.

In a life-or-death situation, Chuwangyu used the 'Heaven-Deceiving Formation' from the 'Newbie Gift Pack' to envelop the entire Abyss of Demons.

The Heaven-Deceiving Formation was extremely powerful. Unless he wanted to, as long as he was within the formation, the monsters that were right in front of him could not detect his presence.

With the help of the Heaven-Deceiving Formation, Chuwangyu managed to survive in this place.

"To be safe, I should not rush to 'change the map.' I'll stay in the Abyss of Demons for a while longer and see how things develop!"

"Stay low, stay steady, don't rush!"

Chuwangyu reassured himself.

...

...

Since discovering that he could gain experience points from the sign-in system by slaying the demons and monsters here, Chuwangyu became obsessed with the profession of 'slaying demons and monsters.' Thus, the demons and monsters in this place faced an unprecedented catastrophe...

At first, Chuwangyu, relying on the techniques, celestial swords, and defensive treasures he signed in for, only dared to attack the weakest spirits. However, one day, while clearing out the spirits, he accidentally killed a small demon that had wandered into the spirit's territory with a single sword strike. He then realized that, at some point, he had become capable of dealing with more than just spirits!

Following the principle of caution, it wasn't until the second hundred years that Chuwangyu began to test the strength of other creatures in this place using the powerful abilities he received from the sign-in system.

During his testing, he found that although the ghosts and monsters here were diverse and numerous, for some reason, they all seemed weak in front of him.

In a world of the strong preying on the weak, being weak... is a sin!

Thus, the weak and helpless Chuwangyu, relying on even weaker ghosts, began to grow stronger...

Thinking back, the reason why there are no formidable creatures in the 'Abyss of Demons' is probably because they were all slaughtered by the enormous face in the sky.

Thinking of that terrifying face, Chuwangyu couldn't help but use his divine sense to check the Heaven-Deceiving Formation covering the entire Abyss of Demons.

Chuwangyu, who had read various novels, had already made various speculations about the enormous face in the sky.

But no matter what he speculated, one thing was certain: the enormous face in the sky was definitely not a good thing.

Unconsciously, Chuwangyu checked the operation of the Heaven-Deceiving Formation several more times with his divine sense.

...

...

For the small monsters left in the Abyss of Demons, Chuwangyu, adhering to the principle of not overfishing, would leave a batch of 'survivors' every day to let them rest and recover.

Through years of research, Chuwangyu had long known how many ghosts to leave each day so that they could regenerate in numbers to provide him with the necessary experience points the next night.

...

...

After completing his 'task' for the night, Chuwangyu returned to the luxurious palace he had signed in for in this place.

In his thousand-year sign-in career, Chuwangyu had signed in for countless good things. However, many of them were either useless to him or he had signed in for better 'sign-in items,' so he stored them in the storage ring that could hold the entire Earth.

Chuwangyu's current level had already reached 'Level 88' as shown in the sign-in system. If he didn't maintain the habits of ordinary people, he wouldn't need to eat, drink, or sleep anymore.

Of course, 'Level 88' may seem high, but who knows what the level cap of the sign-in system is?

If the level cap of the sign-in system is '1000,' or even '10000' or more, then his 'Level 88' would seem too weak.

Moreover, the scene Chuwangyu witnessed when he first entered this world made him realize that this world... is very dangerous!

Chuwangyu tidied up his chaotic thoughts and then walked directly into the back garden of the palace.

The back garden of the palace was very simple, with a tree, a well, and a room for Chuwangyu to rest in.

As for the front hall of the palace, Chuwangyu had converted it into a classroom to teach his students.

Indeed, in this dark and eerie place, Chuwangyu had another identity: a teacher who imparted knowledge—though, based on the scattered knowledge he had signed in for over the years, the creatures in this world were more accustomed to calling such beings 'Mister'!

Because he had to teach his students the next day, after a simple wash, Chuwangyu, who had long maintained the habits of ordinary humans, fell into a deep sleep...
