Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

Finally, that's it.

The base city of Kolkata is the one where a King-level monster deliberately feigned surrender, then rebelled and rioted, ultimately causing the deaths of tens of millions of people.

Although it wasn't in China, such a massive loss of life is rare even after the Great Rebirth, let alone now that humanity has gained a complete advantage.

After the Great Counter-Offensive.

The event with the most casualties.

Second.

This was not inevitable.

It was a fool's sudden inspiration.

Apart from the giant pandas of China, even Dong Qing wouldn't dare let those king-level monsters from Ailao Mountain enter the human base city alone.

Unless he personally oversees it, right under his nose, those beast kings from Ailao Mountain who have surrendered and submitted will have no choice but to stay obediently in the area designated by Dongqing.

"On behalf of the Planetary Security and Defense Council, I offer my silent condolences for the tens of millions of innocent lives lost in this tragedy."

Dong Qing led over a hundred public officials from the Planetary Security Defense Council in a moment of silence, his tone heavy with grief.

Three minutes later.

Dong Qing continued, "Human beings on Earth are a community with a shared future. We are all one family, regardless of nationality or race. I will not show favoritism to anyone. The culprit of this incident has already been brought to justice."

"The Lion King personally carried out the trial of these two criminals, but justice and fairness are delayed, and in the near future, we will increase our efforts to restrain this violent group of warriors."

Some things are hard to say, but you can't pretend you don't understand.

A martial artist without discipline, a martial artist without martial ethics.

It perfectly matches the saying "A knight uses his martial arts to break the law".

A martial artist without martial virtue is the source of chaos.

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?"

"Your Majesty, if everyone could become a martial artist, we wouldn't have to worry about them causing trouble."

"Lord Qingdi, my father, mother, and sister are all gone... But I still thank you. Without you, these two culprits might still be at large."

India has a total of four base cities.

Each base city has an average population of 400 million.

It sounds incredible.

But this is India.

Population size.

It was enormous.

........

The twenty-sixth day.

India, Bangalore, the base city, the Thirty Acropolis.

Bangalore, located in southern India, was known as India's "Silicon Valley" before the Great Rebirth. It is home to 35% of the country's IT talent, boasts a pleasant climate, and is a beautiful place.

After the Great Nirvana, although the emergence of martial artists impacted technology to some extent, and even the technology tree was distorted to some degree under the influence of alien technology from ancient civilization ruins.

However, Bangalore remains one of the world's leading data centers for virtual networks.

One-fifth of the world's virtual network data passes through the city of Bangalore.

But this is also because of the rise of Tripati Singh, the Lion King, who successfully led India into the ranks of the world's five largest economies.

It can be said that without Tripati Singh, there would be no clean and powerful India as we know it today, nor would it have achieved its status as one of the five great powers.

"Bangalore is a crucial base city, responsible for the security of one-fifth of the world's virtual data. We must not let our guard down."

Dong Qing gently patted the shoulder of the person in charge of the Bangalore base city, which was the last base city he was inspecting on his global tour.

As for Hong Ning Base City, the city of Hong, the world's strongest man, and Thunder Base City, the city of Thor, the city of Hong Ning Base City ...

These two base cities are base cities of independent regimes, and it is not up to Dong Qing to conduct an investigation.

Access is possible.

The review process is ineffective.

With Hong sitting in the Middle East, at the crossroads of Eurasia and Africa, it's almost fair to say that Hong is at the center of the world.

Thor is based in the entire Southeast Asian peninsula, and the surrounding archipelago is also under his influence.

"Yes, Lord Qingdi, we will be careful and will absolutely not allow any problems to occur in the virtual network data center."

The head of the Bangalore base city patted his chest, his tone anxious as he tried to prove himself.

"Alright, stop scaring yourself. Just focus on doing your job well."

Dong Qing wasn't interested in promises; he only valued people who got things done, not those who were all talk and no action.

Secondly, there's the global virtual network, which he promoted because he didn't want it to have problems.

.........

The twenty-seventh day.

Earth, Australia, headquarters of the Planetary Security Defence Council.

With three days left in the countdown, Dongqing returned to this place once again.

"Mr. Dongqing, Hong has emerged from seclusion and seems to have made a breakthrough. He has already arrived on the lunar surface in a small spaceship, awaiting his final battle with you, Mr. Dongqing, in three days."

As Dongqing's chief secretary, Xu Xin had always paid close attention to matters related to Dongqing. The moment Hong emerged from seclusion, she used Dongqing's network of influence to find out about him.

"A small spaceship, I knew it. Hong likes to keep things to himself and always hides his true intentions. It is the headquarters of the global elite training camp located in Hongning Base City."

"Anyone with eyes can see that this is a large spaceship. I don't believe he didn't secretly keep some small, intact spaceships."

Dong Qing had never experienced the benefits of being the leader of a powerful force before.

However, he is now experiencing the benefits of having a powerful faction.

The five great nations also possess a wealth of treasures, having brought forth numerous valuable artifacts from ancient civilizations since the Great Nirvana era.

According to the demon Babata, if Dongqing didn't care about the quality of the fleet, she could actually put together dozens of ships right now.

She couldn't guarantee whether these ships would fall apart midway.

The only thing she could guarantee was that these ships would be able to fly off Earth.

"The King-level intelligent fighters sold inside the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy should be the carrier-based aircraft of these space warships. Above that, I heard there are also Qiankun-level intelligent fighters and Primordial-level intelligent fighters, which even the Beast Emperor cannot destroy."

"However, I didn't expect that Hong still had a complete spaceship. Although it was just a small spaceship, it meant that Hong, the world's strongest person, could step into the universe at any time and travel to other civilizations and planets via the spaceship."

Xu Xin had been following Dong Qing these past few days, and her knowledge was growing every day, so she was very clear about what it meant for Hong to hold a spaceship.

This means that Hong could leave Earth, leave the solar system, abandon humanity and Earth at any time, and go to a more advanced civilization.

"The Earth is small, but the universe is vast. Whether it's me or Hong himself, we will eventually leave Earth, see the outside world, and witness the boundless universe."

Dong Qing has many women around him, including confidantes, married women, young wives, and widows, but the only woman who can give him the feeling of being a virtuous wife is Xu Xin, who still looks quite young.

With an innately strong will, they can withstand the pressure of a King-level monster.

Her abilities are impeccable; she can handle any work-related matters.

The only thing it lacks is talent for cultivation.

Without the help of a benefactor, one is destined not to go far.

"So, once you and Hong determine who is the world's number one, you'll leave Earth and head to the unknown universe?"

Xu Xin sensed the impending separation in Dong Qing's words, and she felt a pang of sadness, though she couldn't quite explain why.

"Going out and seeing the world is definitely a must, but don't forget, you're my chief secretary. Wherever I go, you have to come with me."

Dong Qing grabbed Xu Xin's waist and forcefully pinned her to the table...
