Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 32 Babata

Deep underground in Kirishima.

In the Meteorite Starship.

A black, virtual figure appeared in a magnificent, semi-circular hall that was tens of meters high and nearly two hundred meters long and wide.

He was a small man, only 1.45 meters tall, like a child, with two single horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes, and wearing a black robe.

It's called Babata.

Because Hong had told Gu Ce when he took the Moyun Vine, Gu Ce learned that Babata had made some unusual moves, so he asked Rimuru to come and have a good "communication" with it.

With the technological support of the complete Ice Wasteland spaceship produced by the Virtual Universe Company, Rimuru gave Babata a good "training".

Babata is now somewhat afraid of Rimuru.

"Gu Ce, I hope you can keep your promise!" Babata stared intently at the screen and snorted coldly.

Gu Ce and Babata had already met beforehand, and Gu Ce promised to help the master of Meteorite Star find an excellent successor. In return, Babata would have to unconditionally grant him one request in the future.

Babata could hardly accept this situation.

But Gu Ce won him over with just one sentence.

"You wouldn't want your master to have no successor, would you?"

Babata gave in.

It ultimately agreed to Gu Ce's request.

……

"Babata, open the door."

Gu Ce's voice rang out from outside the door, and Babata eagerly opened the door.

The signals on Earth have been taken over by Rimuru. Babata's vision can only see the area around Kirishima. It has already seen Gu Ce leading a few people over, one of whom is a psychic with a brain capacity that meets the standard!

"Gu Ce! Where's the person you promised me?"

Babata said eagerly.

"Hey." Gu Ce pushed Luo Feng forward. "What do you think of this one?"

"this……"

Babata observed carefully, and then was overjoyed.

"Although his aptitude is average, it would still be considered good by Earth standards. Not bad, he is indeed qualified to inherit his master's legacy!" Babata said excitedly.

"That's fine then." Gu Ce nodded. "Luo Feng, go with it to receive the inheritance. It will tell you the specifics. Don't be afraid, it won't harm you; this is your opportunity."

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback, then nodded solemnly.

He had also gleaned the gist of the conversation between Gu Ce, Hong, and Lei Shen.

It seems I've encountered an incredible opportunity!

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Babata! You can call me 'Demon Babata.' Of course, that's the translation into Earth's Chinese. In the universal language, it should be 'xxxx.'"

Although Luo Feng heard the last string of words Babata uttered, he didn't understand them at all.

"You possess the token of my Meteorite Star, so you should understand the power of my Meteorite Star! Come, let's go pay our respects to our master!"

Babata took Luo Feng away.

Hong and Lei Shen then discussed with Gu Ce how to break through to the Heng Xing level.

……

soon.

Because they had been informed beforehand, Luo Feng had little resistance and, just like in the original story, successfully became Hu Yanbo's disciple and received the Soul Imprint and other inheritances.

Through Babata's understanding of the situation in the universe, he finally learned what Gu Ce and the others were talking about.

"So, Hong, Thor, and Gu Ce all possess domains, making them rare geniuses even in the universe? Even a master like him would be tempted to take them on as disciples?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. After Babata's explanation, he already knew what an immortal being was.

Are there three geniuses on Earth who would even impress an immortal?

"That Gu Ce is even more ruthless than Hong and Lei Shen," Babata said to Luo Feng with a solemn expression.

"His goal is the Cosmic Human Genius Battle. Although I don't think he can get a good ranking, his talent is still considered genius even in the entire Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom."

Babata's reference here is that Gu Ce grasped the artistic conception in one month and the domain in three months.

After Rimuru and Babata talked, Babata also learned about the Genius Battle and, as Gu Ce had suggested, planned to arrange for Luo Feng to train in the Genius Battle.

Babata's requirements weren't high. He would be happy if Luo Feng could rank among the top geniuses in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire under his tutelage.

Luo Feng seemed to understand, but he nodded in agreement.

"Luo Feng, with my guidance, you have a very high probability of becoming a Realm Lord in the future!" Babata said in a high-spirited tone.

A Realm Lord is like a local emperor in the universe. It's easy for them to acquire a star system territory. They would be treated with respect even in a medium-level civilization like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. They have a lifespan of 1000 epochs (more than 10 million years).

"With my help, your future achievements may not be weaker than Gu Ce's, and surpassing Hong and Lei Shen is certain," Babata said confidently.

In the universe, having talent alone is useless without the resources to nurture it.

With the assets left behind by someone who barely achieved the title of Marquis and became an immortal, Luo Feng could be said to have his biggest trump card.

"Um?"

At this point, Babata suddenly stopped, and after a moment, spoke again.

"Luo Feng, Gu Ce says he's giving you a test." Babata's expression was strange. "If you kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor within three months, he'll give you an irresistible gift. If you fail to kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor within three months, he'll punish you... send you to Mars to mine."

"Thunder Dragon Emperor?"

Luo Feng was speechless.

The two most famous beast kings!

Back then, when they hid in the sea, even Hong and Thor couldn't kill them!

Keep in mind that Hong already possessed a domain at that time, while Thor was already at the seventh level of the planetary realm!

After emerging from Ruins No. 9, he learned that the Octopus Beast King had been killed by Gu Ce, but now Gu Ce said he would hand over the Thunder Dragon King to him.

"The inheritance Gu Ce received has a very powerful origin," Babata said to Luo Feng. "He said it's something extremely valuable... Luo Feng, you must do your best to get it!"

"Don't worry, your psychic power has already increased by 16. Once your psychic power and Force power both break through to the planetary level, with my help, you have a very high probability of succeeding!"

"Even if things go badly, it's not as bad as going into mining."

Luo Feng nodded solemnly.

Although his goal was high, he didn't want to give up.

We absolutely must get that mysterious gift!

Luo Feng clenched his fists, making up his mind.

……

After delivering Luo Feng to Babata and explaining some things to Hong and Thor, Gu Ce prepared to leave Earth for an adventure.

"Breaking through to the Hengxing level isn't actually that difficult; you'll probably be able to do it soon."

Gu Ce said to Hong and Lei Shen.

"Don't worry, I will return before the Genius Battle begins, around 2066 in the Chinese calendar."

"Go ahead without worry," Thor nodded. "Once we break through to the Star level, we'll leave Earth and explore the universe."

"At that time, the safety of the Earth will fall on Luo Feng's shoulders."

"I wonder if this kid can handle it?" Thor joked.

"You have to trust him," Gu Ce said with a smile. "Besides, the slaves I bought aren't pushovers either. Even if some weaker cosmic-level beings attack, they'll have to think twice."

"Alright." Hong and Thor nodded in unison.

"We will protect our Earth!"
