Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 205 Reversing Time

In the deep starry sky, there is a planet of extremely large size.

The planet was shrouded in a thick, inky cloud layer, through which streaks of starlight, faintly tinged with purple, shone freely upon the planet's surface.

On this planet, there are a large number of martial artists brought from various planets. They undergo brutal training here and are selected as the most loyal warriors of the great 'Master of Meteorite Star'!

The Meteorite Star, where Hu Yanbo fell, has long been destroyed!

However, more than 90,000 years ago, when Zhou Yang achieved the title of Lord of the Universe, he had already exchanged a 'Mechanical Heart' for Babata, allowing him to have the ability to cultivate and become stronger like the mechanical race.

Over 90,000 years have passed, and Babata has long since entered the realm of immortality.

With the help of Zhou Yang's resources, Babata quickly rebuilt a "new Meteorite Star" on the original site of Meteorite Star. He also brought some helpers from the Earth lineage and gradually reclaimed the territory that Hu Yanbo had once controlled.

Zhou Yang did not object to this, after all, it was a chance for the young people of the Earth lineage to gain experience.

"call!"

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the 'New Meteorite Star'.

He was dressed casually in a loose black robe, hovering in mid-air. He glanced down and muttered to himself, "Is this what Meteorite Star looked like before it was destroyed? Babata spent so much effort rebuilding Meteorite Star. It seems that Huyanbo really had a big influence on him."

Zhou Yang flew around casually, and none of the detection and monitoring systems or vigilant experts on Meteorite Star detected him. He even flew past some warriors without anyone noticing.

This is a kind of control over spacetime. Now the laws of spacetime are completely under control. If it is fully activated, it even gives Zhou Yang the feeling of being in a new universe.

With the intention of observing Meteorite Star, Zhou Yang flew for quite a while before arriving above a black castle.

His gaze easily pierced through the top of the castle, taking in the view inside.

Inside the castle, on a throne, lay a child dressed in a black robe. He had two antennae on his forehead, blood-red eyes, and a chubby little face, which looked quite cute.

On another enormous seat beside him sat a colossal metal giant clad in crimson armor. Beside the throne were two grotesque swords with extremely sharp edges.

"Brother Babata, when are we going to attack the next planet? We're so bored lately!"

The metal giant spoke, but his voice sounded as childlike as a child's.

The black-robed child lying on the throne glanced at him and said helplessly:

"Forget about it. Master warned me last time that I can't let you act recklessly. We need to give those little guys more opportunities to train!"

"But it's so boring, why don't we..."

The metal giant was about to speak again.

"Babata, the Red Bee!" A voice rang out directly inside the castle.

"Um?"

The black-robed child and the metal giant suddenly looked up, then instantly vanished.

……

Above the black castle.

Zhou Yang stood casually in mid-air when the black-robed child and the metal giant suddenly appeared beside him.

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

Both an intelligent life form and a metallic life form exclaimed in surprise.

"You two seem to be living a very leisurely life."

Zhou Yang chuckled softly, "But it seems you haven't relaxed your training, Babata, since you can teleport too."

"Master, the resources you provide, even the most ordinary ones, can sustain me to immortality, let alone the fact that I, Babata, am inherently intelligent!"

Babata said smugly.

For an intelligent life form like him, which is similar to a mechanical race, as long as resources are available, cultivation progress is indeed relatively rapid.

"Let's go, let's go to the outer space of Meteorite Star," Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"What are we going to do in outer space?" Babata asked, puzzled.

Zhou Yang looked at him and asked with a smile:

"What, you don't want to revive your boss anymore?"

"Ah, resurrection."

Babata trembled, and for a moment he couldn't control his emotions.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of an intelligent life form that has evolved emotions, its joys and sorrows are almost no different from those of ordinary humans.

Even though Zhou Yang is now Babata's only and most important master in his core logic, in terms of feelings... Babata is still closer to Hu Yanbo in his heart.

However, there was still some distance between them... For example, at the beginning, she directly addressed Zhou Yang by his real name, but as his status rose, Babata began to address him as "Master" with a hint of reverence.

on the contrary--

Babata and Huyanbo are the ones who have truly gone through countless life-and-death battles, and the years they have spent together are incredibly long. The time Babata spent becoming an "intelligent life form" was spent with Huyanbo... You can imagine how deep their bond is.

"Great!" Babata exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go to outer space!"

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, and then disappeared into the air with Babata.

******

Outer space of Meteorite Star.

Zhou Yang, dressed in a long black robe, stood outside the atmosphere, while Babata, a child in a black robe, watched him nervously beside him.

"I saw it clearly," Zhou Yang said.

"rise!"

Zhou Yang looked at the vast emptiness around him, and then with a single thought, he caused time in this emptiness to begin to flow backward rapidly...

Scenes flashed back in time, and the reconstruction of Meteorite Star reappeared...

The scene of Meteorite Star being attacked and destroyed appeared... Zhou Yang manipulated time at will, accelerating and rewinding.

"Huh?" Zhou Yang stopped immediately.

There stood the blood-red triangular "Meteorite Star" spaceship, with several figures faintly visible inside.

"Babata, is this the one?"

Zhou Yang asked, and with just a thought, he caused all the figures inside the blood-red triangle-shaped Meteorite Starship to appear.

There was a handsome man in a black robe standing at the very front of the control room of the Meteorite Star. Behind him stood a series of figures, and Babata was even standing next to him!

"Damn it, you big, dumb owl..."

Standing next to Zhou Yang, Babata trembled uncontrollably, then repeatedly shouted to Zhou Yang, "It's them, it's them."

Seeing this, Zhou Yang sighed inwardly.

Babata, Huyanbo, and the group of servants under Huyanbo's command truly share a deep bond.

Since that's the case... then let's revive Huyanbo's soul servants as well, as a way of thanking Babata for helping me back then, and also as a way of thanking Huyanbo.

The help left by Hu Yanbo may seem insignificant now, but in reality, it had a tremendous impact on his growth.

Without the inheritance from Babata and the Meteorite Star lineage, Zhou Yang's early cultivation would never have been so smooth.

After all, in the beginning, meteor tears only had the simple effect of relieving fatigue, and at that time, humans on Earth were particularly vulnerable.

Without the legacy of Meteorite Star, let alone stepping into the universe, one might not even be able to get past the Golden Horned Beast.

Forget about shining in the Cosmic Genius Battle!

"Certainly!"

With a thought, Zhou Yang instantly locked onto the red "Meteorite Starship," "Huyan Bo," and his nine soul servants!

"Time reversal".

Zhou Yang then made time automatically rewind.

It's like pressing down a spring; it will automatically bounce back!

If Zhou Yang doesn't save anyone, then he bears no burden. But if he wants to resurrect some lives and bring them back from the past to the present, then he must bear the punishment.

The punishment was actually intended for Hu Yanbo and his nine servants, but Hu Yanbo and the others couldn't bear it, so Zhou Yang had to take it on their behalf.

For Zhou Yang, even resurrecting a Universe Venerable was easy, let alone merely resurrecting some immortals.

moment--

A blood-red, triangular Meteorite Starship hovered in the starry sky. Luo Feng had clearly brought the Meteorite Starship from that era back to this time and space.

If life is alive... for example, if Babata were still alive, then naturally it could not be resurrected.

Even inanimate objects, if they already exist, such as a treasure, can still be brought back to that era by reversing time.

only……

The punishment was terrible. The cost of reversing time and bringing back one supreme treasure was greater than the cost of acquiring ten supreme treasures.

Of course, the punishment brought by the Meteorite Starship is nothing to Zhou Yang now, since the Meteorite Starship is not even a treasure.

"Whoosh!"

The cabin door of the Yunmo Xing opened, and a handsome man in black robe touched the cabin door nervously, then stepped out and walked into the void.

Behind him emerged a series of immortal powerhouses, each appearing excited and apprehensive.

"Babata".

The handsome man in black robes saw Zhou Yang's direction, his gaze instantly locking onto the child in black robes, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Boss!"

Babata could no longer hold back. In an instant, he teleported to the side of the handsome man in black robes and hugged Huyanbo, who was like a father and brother to him.

"Boss, boss, boss..."

Babata held Huyanbo in his arms and called out to him repeatedly, his voice finally releasing all the longing he had been suppressing.

……

Huyan Bo and his nine servants were somewhat bewildered at this moment, because they all had memories of the past and knew very well that they had all perished.

But now they've been resurrected? Resurrected by reversing time? By the Lord of the Universe? Who has the power to have a Lord of the Universe reverse time to resurrect them?

What baffled them even more was that... Babata, who had previously been just an intelligent life form, had suddenly teleported right in front of them!

"Babata, you...you've become immortal? Teleportation?"

Hu Yanbo was shocked by the immortal life form behind him that resembled a giant chimpanzee.

"Yes." Babata nodded. "With the help of the great Lord of Reincarnation, Master Zhou Yang, I am now indeed a King-level Immortal, and I have also mastered teleportation."

"The Lord of Reincarnation?"

Huyanbo and his nine soul servants were all dumbfounded. Just by hearing his name, they knew that he was a great cosmic lord!

"How long have we been doomed? Ten million years? A hundred million years?" Hu Yanbo couldn't help but ask.

Even Babata, who was just an ordinary intelligent life form back then, can now teleport. A long time must have passed by now.

"By the way, who is Lord Zhou Yang, the Lord of Reincarnation? How did you come to know such a great being?"

"The Lord of Reincarnation is one of the greatest beings in the entire human race, and one of the most supreme beings in the entire primordial universe."

Babata said, "Just now, it was Master Zhou Yang who reversed time and resurrected you, boss. Master Zhou Yang is right there—"

He pointed to Zhou Yang in the distant starry sky as he spoke.

Huyanbo and his nine servants all turned to look at the casually dressed man in black robes standing in the distance. Their attention had been focused on Babata before... Even before Babata pointed out Zhou Yang's location, although they had seen him, none of them had realized his presence.

"Whoosh."

The man in black robes walked over, immediately causing Hu Yanbo and his nine servants to be filled with fear and trepidation. Heavens, that was a being who could reverse time and space! In front of such a being, they were like ants.

After a brief conversation.

"I know very well the virtual universe number of Teacher Hu Yanbo."

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "As long as you connect to the virtual universe, you will find my number on the contact list, and you can contact me at any time... It's been a long time since you and Babata have seen each other, so I won't bother you any longer."

He then turned around and vanished into thin air.

Milky Way.

In the tranquil void, Zhou Yang strolled along.

Now that Huyanbo has been successfully resurrected, it can be said that Babata's wish has been fulfilled.

The other person Zhou Yang wanted to revive, the dashing woman he met in the Earth martial arts team back then, ultimately failed.

He only realized later that even the universe's ability to reverse time and resurrect was limited.

Although the Lord of the Universe bears most of the cost of reversing time and resurrecting the dead, the resurrected person must bear the consequences of the passage of time.

Like immortality, it can easily withstand the passage of time.

But that companion wasn't even a planetary-level being back then, and his lifespan was at most one or two hundred years.

But now it has been nearly 100,000 years since she died.

With such a vast time span, her body and soul simply could not withstand the erosion of time as it passed... During the time reversal, Zhou Yang was also unable to help her.

This is also one of the drawbacks of the "Reverse Time" resurrection.

"Then let's keep getting stronger; perhaps reaching the ultimate goal will allow us to achieve it."

Zhou Yang sighed, then flew towards the distant palace complex.
