Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

But the vast majority of ancient civilizations on Earth are relics.

They've all been looted clean by modern humans.

There are only three perilous locations.

It is still a forbidden area.

Because the mortality rate is 100%.

It has not yet been plundered by humans.

"It's very simple. If you really want to build a combat-capable fleet in a short time, you can go to the Twelfth Ancient Civilization Ruins. The entire space fleet of the Silver Blue Empire is lying dormant there."

"With your current abilities, Master, breaking through the fleet's active defense mechanism is not difficult. With the assistance of this demon Babata, taking over the highest authority of this Silver Blue Empire's space fleet will be a piece of cake."

The Twelfth Ancient Civilization Ruins mentioned by the demon Babata are one of the three most dangerous places on Earth, located in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.

However, since the day this ancient civilization was discovered, there has been a 100% mortality rate; no one has ever come out alive.

Are you sure?

Dong Qing originally trusted the demon Babata quite a bit, after all, the demon Babata had been very open and honest with him these past few days.

They actively recognized me as their master, addressing me as "master" repeatedly. In addition, the treasures and resources, whether it was the Wood Crystal or the Cloud Vine, greatly enhanced my strength.

Even the planetary-level telekinetic weapon, the Arc Blade Disc, felt somewhat awkward after just one use.

That was because his mental power surged after he broke through to the ninth level of the planetary realm.

If the planetary-level telekinetic weapon, the Arc Blade Disc, were given to other planetary-level psychic masters.

This planetary-level psychic weapon, the Arc Blade Disc, could definitely become a deadly weapon.

But now.

The demon Babata seems to be trying to trick Dongqing into going to the Twelfth Ancient Civilization Ruins, where the mortality rate is 100%.

Even though Dongqing trusted Dongqing so much, he couldn't help but wonder if the demon Babata was setting him up.

Dong Qing couldn't think of that for the time being.

What good would it do her to kill herself?

"Of course I'm sure. This space fleet from the Silver Blue Empire was instantly wiped out by my former master with a single thought when it first landed on Earth."

"The entire space fleet was instantly wiped out, leaving only cold lumps of iron that sank into the depths of the Pacific Ocean, becoming what is now the Twelfth Ancient Civilization Relic."

The demon Babata patted his chest forcefully.

It was as if only in this way could she prove that she wasn't lying.

she does not know.

Dong Qing had no interest in whether a whole intact space fleet was actually lying deep in the Pacific Ocean.

He only suspected that the demon Babata might be tricking him into going to a place with a 100% death rate to die.

However, suspicion is just suspicion.

Suspicion cannot be used as evidence.

Dongqing couldn't possibly question the demon Babata or even accuse her of trying to harm him just because of his suspicions.

Once suspicion is voiced, it becomes evidence. Even without evidence, it can be groundless, because those who want to frame you know better than you do.

This is something that hurts feelings.

Dongqing would naturally not act recklessly.

However, the mortality rate of the No. 12 ancient civilization site is 100%.

As prudent as he is, he would never risk his life.

"The space fleet matter isn't urgent. After my decisive battle with Hong ends and the world's strongest person is determined, I'll go and investigate the ruins of the Twelfth Ancient Civilization."

Dong Qing did indeed intend to visit the No. 12 ancient civilization ruins and study them, since if the demon Babata wasn't lying, then it would indeed be a great thing.

After all, while it's not that Earth lacks the technology to build a space fleet, the process of turning that technology into reality is fraught with difficulties and the timeframe is uncertain.

However, if the Silver Blue Empire's fleet had an entire out-of-service space fleet, or if it were a nascent civilization ruling over the Milky Way and several surrounding galaxies, the Silver Blue Empire's fleet would be entirely different.

"Master, although Hong has a field of light and has even grasped the basics of the laws of light, he is definitely no match for you."

The demon Babata hugged Dongqing's neck. She wouldn't tell Dongqing that Hong was also someone she was considering before he appeared.

However, whether it is Hong or Lei Shen, they are both talented but lack brain capacity. They are not born mentalists and cannot inherit the legacy of the Meteorite Star left by their former master.

The inheritance of Meteorite Star can only be maximized by a spiritual master. Even if they cannot surpass their former master, they can at least reach the level their former master was at before their fall.

And then Dongqing appeared.

It's simply perfect.

In terms of talent, he is no less than Hong and Thor, and may even be superior.

Or perhaps he's a born mentalist with an exceptionally large brain capacity!

Nothing is absolute, so it's always best to be cautious.

Dongqing patted the head of the demon Babata; he could feel her sincerity.

But there are some things you absolutely cannot let emotions cloud your judgment, after all, he only has one life.

"Master, you are far too cautious."

The demon Babata did not mind Dongqing's caresses; on the contrary, she nudged her head closer. To her, Dongqing was very likely the only person she had been loyal to for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.

If Dongqing can break through immortality and gain eternal life, and catch up with and surpass her former master, as long as Dongqing does not perish like her former master, then she will most likely belong to him forever.

........

Several hours passed.

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou Weicheng, Yi'an District.

As the third base city to be inspected, the officials in Jiangnan Base City were well prepared.

But they didn't expect that Dongqing would actually go to the old, dilapidated houses and impoverished areas with a large number of low-rent rental apartments in Jiangnan Base City.

"Last night, I saw a post online where someone hoped I could visit places like Yi'an District where life isn't very affluent."

"I've read it, and the post makes sense. Not everyone is a martial artist with physical abilities that surpass those of ordinary people. Climbing stairs all day must be really tiring."

Dong Qing is not the kind of person who would never bow his head or bend his back once he reaches the pinnacle of power or military might.

In his previous life, he had a bad life and a short life, but he was still a Chinese who grew up under the red flag.

He loves the people.

They also love humanity.

He might just be someone who, when poor, cultivates his own virtue, and when successful, helps others—a hypocrite in the eyes of some.

But he was never one to forget his roots. He had the nation and the world in his heart, and he also cared about the poorest people at the bottom of society.

no way.

It's because of the cartoons Dongqing watched when he was a kid.

The GG segment plays public service announcements.

"Chairman, this is a mistake on our part. We will arrange for elevator renovations and strive to ensure that more than one million people in hundreds of low-rent housing communities in Yi'an District can live in buildings with elevators."

An official from the Jiangnan base city wiped the sweat from his brow. The Earth Defense Organization and the Planetary Security Defense Council have real power, even military power, unlike the United Nations of the past.

His political status is at its peak.

Its military status is at its peak.

Whether in politics or military affairs, they are the undisputed number one organization on Earth. Dong Qing could make him lose his official position with just a word.

Even if Dong Qing got angry, he could just drag him away to be shot, and no one would dare to plead for him, for fear of becoming an accomplice themselves.

at this time.

Officials in the Jiangnan base city are under immense pressure.

They could even smell the gunpowder at the firing range.

Load!

shot!

Clap clap clap!

This is mind-blowing!

"This applies not only to Yi'an District, but to all the garrison towns in the area. You local officials can't just go through the motions!"

at the same time.

Yi'an District, a low-rent housing community.

The two brothers exchanged a glance.

"elder brother...."
