“Third Brother, advanced intelligent life forms like Babata are extremely rare in the universe. They are usually the legacy of some ancient and powerful civilizations, or they are the result of incredible evolution from ordinary artificial intelligence by chance. They cannot be bought with money. Even the most advanced auxiliary light brains or intelligent systems are still fundamentally different from true intelligent life. Babata... she is unique.”

Luo Feng patiently explained to Han Li.

He can get his hands on ordinary intelligent life forms.

It even exists on Earth.

However, that kind of life form was far less powerful than Babata.

Given Han Li's current abilities, he certainly wouldn't use such a low-level intelligent life form.

"I see. It seems I was being presumptuous."

A hint of regret flashed in Han Li's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

This has always been his guiding principle.

"Haha, Han Li, you have good taste, but don't even dream about finding another intelligent life like me!"

Babata put his hands on his hips smugly, looked at Han Li and chuckled, his virtual image becoming even more lifelike.

Zhu Chen smiled and shook his head, his gaze returning to the icy blue planet on the screen, his eyes gradually sharpening.

"The prey is about to be released, and the hunters should sharpen their claws. Everyone, let's do a final check on our preparations. A cross-world hunt... is about to begin."

……

at the same time.

Ice Storm Star.

Inside the council hall of the Nolan Mountain family's core castle, a middle-aged man over three meters tall, dressed in dark blue armor, with a resolute and cold face, sat at the head of the table. He exuded a chilling aura, like a star that might explode at any moment, filling the air with oppressive power.

This person is none other than the current head of the Nuolanshan clan, a ninth-level powerhouse at the cosmic level!

On both sides of the main hall stood dozens of Nolan Mountain Clan members with equally powerful auras, the weakest of whom was a ninth-level star-level expert.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the huge virtual light screen floating in the center of the hall.

The screen was flashing rapidly with some blurry data streams and an image of a blue planet.

"Did you see everything clearly?"

Noranshan's voice, like the scraping of cold metal, slowly echoed in the hall: "My kinsman 'Comoro Noranshan' was publicly killed by a native from 'Earth in the Milky Way' on Qiulong Star. Not even his soul could escape!"

"This is simply a blatant provocation against my Nolan Mountain family..."

Nuolanshan's gaze swept over the crowd below, his tone filled with undisguised anger and killing intent.

At this moment, an elder of the first level of the universe level suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch, please calm down. After the incident, we have used all our connections to investigate thoroughly. The perpetrator was registered as 'Wang Lin', and there were several others with him, who were also registered as citizens of Earth. As for Earth... according to the information we obtained from the official database of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and some records of interstellar adventurers, it is just an indigenous life planet located on the edge of the Milky Way, with a very low level of civilization."

"good."

Another elder in charge of intelligence chimed in, "Based on the sporadic communications we intercepted between them and the peripheral personnel of the 'Qianwu Branch' of the Virtual Universe Company, the strongest person on Earth seems to be just a 'Planetary-level Mentalist' named 'Luo Feng.' The rest are insignificant. Comoros's fall was probably due to some insidious means, or... that native named Wang Lin may have been hiding his strength, but it's impossible for him to exceed the Stellar level."

"Stellar level?"

A cold glint flashed in Nuolanshan's eyes, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "A mere Stellar-level being dares to kill a core member of my Nuolanshan family? Truly, ignorance is bliss!"

He paused, tapping his fingers on the metal armrest, making a dull sound: "However... this planet Earth is quite interesting. Atuka, pull up that report on the residual energy analysis of the 'Golden Horned Beast'."

"Yes, Master."

An electronic sound, far more monotonous than Babata's, rang out.

The next instant, the virtual screen switched to display a clear display of cosmic energy monitoring data.

The location marked above is near the solar system.

"Look at this..."

Nuolanshan pointed to the data and slowly said, "Although the traces are extremely faint, almost completely obscured by natural cosmic radiation, the in-depth analysis purchased by the family from the 'Cosmic Galaxy Bank' intelligence channels at great expense shows that a brief but extremely high-level energy fluctuation occurred at the edge of the solar system some time ago. Its residual characteristics... have a 67% match with the energy devoured by the 'Golden Horned Beast,' one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts!" "Golden Horned Beast?"

A suppressed gasp of surprise immediately rose from below.

The Golden Horned Beast is a legendary creature. It becomes a realm lord upon adulthood and even has the potential to become immortal. Its corpse, horn, and leather are all priceless treasures!
"Although it is impossible to determine whether this golden-horned behemoth was just passing by, or whether it was related to Earth, or even whether it had died or left."

"But this is enough to show that the star system where Earth is located may be hiding secrets that we do not know."

“A star field that can give birth to a creature like the Golden Horned Beast, or that is associated with it, even if it is just a peripheral area, is worth exploring in depth.”

Noranshan suddenly stood up, his tall figure bringing a tremendous sense of oppression to everyone around him: "The Comoros must be avenged, and the secrets of Earth... we must take them too!"

"The master is wise!"

Everyone said in unison.

"Derwin Norland!"

Nuolanshan turned to look at everyone and directly pointed out a name.

"teacher."

A man dressed in the family's standard armor stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Nuolanshan.

"Yes, Baikaro!"

Nuolanshan nodded slightly, then pointed out another person from the crowd.

The next second, a man carrying a blood-red battle blade and exuding an aura as cold as ten thousand years of ice stepped out from the crowd.

His aura was stronger than that of Devon Norlanshan, and in no way inferior to Norlanshan himself. He was one of the top combatants among the family's star-level beings.

"You two will lead a 'Black Cloud Squad' aboard the family's fastest C2-class warship, the 'Black Eagle,' and immediately proceed to Earth in the Milky Way!"

Nolanshan looked at Baikaluo and the other two and ordered, "You have two tasks. First, find out the truth about Comoros's murder and exterminate the murderer and his accomplices, leaving no one alive. Use their blood to wash away the shame of your family. If necessary, you can even massacre the entire earth!"

"Second, thoroughly investigate Earth and its surrounding star systems, especially any clues about the Golden Horned Beast, even the slightest trace. At the same time, assess Earth's potential value. If it is worthwhile... the family will send a more powerful force to take over."

"clear."

Both Bai and Carlo agreed in unison.

"remember."

Noranshan concluded by saying, “Never underestimate any opponent, no matter how weak they may seem. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. The Black Eagle’s firepower is sufficient to easily destroy the surface of an ordinary planet. When the time comes, don’t hesitate to use it.”

Devon grinned maliciously, "Don't worry, teacher. A bunch of natives who aren't even at the level of a stellar civilization can't cause any trouble. I will bring back the heads of Luo Feng and Wang Lin, as well as Earth's most valuable secret, and present them to you!"

Nolanshan nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go ahead. The family will simultaneously submit a 'question for the civilization level upgrade assessment' and a 'application for priority purchase rights of the planet' to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Once you confirm that Earth has value and no powerful background, and the procedures on the Empire's side are completed, Earth... will officially be incorporated into the territory of my Nolanshan family!"

Dewen and Baikar bowed and withdrew, then quickly went to assemble the troops.

Inside the main hall, Nuolanshan gazed at the azure planet on the virtual screen, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Earth... Luo Feng... Wang Lin... No matter what secrets you have, if you kill members of my Nuolanshan family, you can expect to pay with your entire planet!"

……

The largest spaceport on Icestorm Star.

A C2-class warship, entirely black and shaped like a falcon, slowly rose into the air. Its tail thrusters emitted a ghostly blue light as it broke through the atmosphere and headed headlong towards the Milky Way.

And in the shadow of that silent asteroid belt.

Inside a hidden spaceship, pairs of eyes coldly watched everything through a screen.

"They're coming."

Luo Feng's voice rang out in the silence. Then, without hesitation, he ordered Babata to activate the spaceship, directly cutting off the C2-class warship's retreat route.
