Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 53 Earth Rise Project

"Haha, Zhou Yang, we're incredibly lucky! The most important power and protection systems of this Black Dragon Mountain spaceship are all intact. Only a few auxiliary functions have some problems; they can be repaired and put back into use!"

Inside the smart wristband, Babata, dressed as a child in a black robe, waves excitedly.

"Hmm, how long will the repairs take?"

Zhou Yang asked casually.

"Soon, no more than half a month!"

Babata answered quickly.

"Half a month really goes by quickly!"

Zhou Yang nodded, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

In his previous life on Earth, the universe and starry sky were always an infinitely longed-for yet unattainable dream for all humankind.

And now, within half a month, I may be able to pilot the complete Black Dragon Mountain across the endless sea of ​​stars and witness the splendor of the myriad civilizations of the universe!

"Let's go back first!"

By this time, Babata had already stored the complete Black Dragon Mountain spaceship in his storage space.

Zhou Yang didn't linger any longer. After covering his entire body with the Black God Suit, he quickly returned to the surface of the sea.

On the turbulent sea, the enormous corpse of the Eight-Clawed Beast King, comparable to an island, rose and fell with the waves.

Above this enormous corpse, a blood-red, triangular fighter jet hovered silently.

Inside the blood-red triangular fighter jet, a cold and stern man dressed in black, Hong, was sitting and talking with a bald young man in a white robe.

This man is none other than Thor, the founder of the Thunder Martial Arts School and the second strongest man in the world!

The white-robed young Thor touched his bald head, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy.

"Brother Hong, with your current strength, do you think you can kill that Eight-Clawed Beast King directly in this ocean?"

Upon hearing his words, the man in black, Hong, fell silent, seemingly weighing something.

After a moment, he shook his head helplessly.

"Difficult! Defeating them is easy, but killing them would be very difficult."

"Even adding the Cloud Vine won't work?" Thor asked.

Hong gently shook his head:

"I've only had the Cloud Vine for less than a month, and I haven't had time to properly nurture it yet, so my current strength is limited."

"Hiss~~~"

Upon hearing this, the bald young man, Thor, gasped. He asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Could it be that even you are no match for that person? Good heavens, when did such a figure appear on Earth?!"

He hurriedly asked:

"Brother Hong, did your AI system capture that person's face? Do you recognize him?"

"No, the battle happened too quickly."

Even the usually calm Hong couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

However, at that moment, both Hong and Thor's expressions turned serious, and they immediately flashed to the outside of the delta-shaped fighter jet.

"Splash!"

Several kilometers away from them, an inconspicuous little black dot suddenly broke through the water.

The black dot paused briefly in the air, then suddenly rushed directly toward them.

"Tch~"

The black dot moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Hong and Lei Shen in the blink of an eye.

The bald Thor stared at the figure standing on a strange bladed disc and dressed in a black god suit, his face filled with intense curiosity.

This is a super strong person who is no weaker than him and Hong!

"Heh, it's you, kid!"

The moment Hong, who was standing next to him, saw that figure, he instantly understood, but he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Whoosh!"

The helmet formed by the Black God Armor slowly receded, revealing an extremely young face.

"Master!"

Zhou Yang nodded and smiled at Hong.

"Hiss~~~ Holy crap, it's you!"

Before Hong could even speak, the bald young man, Thor, couldn't help but start shouting.

Zhou Yang's amazing performance in the elite training camp and his legendary achievement of becoming a god-level being at the age of 19 have made him a star figure worldwide.

As the leader of one of Earth's two superpowers, Thor naturally paid close attention to this younger generation, believing that this exceptionally talented individual might one day surpass both himself and Hwang.

However, he never imagined that this day would come so soon.

"Master, Senior Thor, let's talk somewhere else!"

Soon after, in a virtual space created by Babata, Hong and Thor listened quietly to Zhou Yang's story.

"Zhou Yang, you're saying there are so many powerful civilizations in this universe? Even the most primitive civilization controls millions of inhabited planets?"

"Furthermore, planetary-level warriors are merely the lowest-level cannon fodder in the universe, and then there are the immortal gods, who can destroy a planet with a single move. My god, I can't even imagine how powerful they are!"

Thor felt he had received too many shocks today, and he was on the verge of going insane.

Even Hong, who was usually deep and cold, could no longer control the expression on his face at this moment.

"Although I know there are other extraterrestrial civilizations, I simply cannot imagine that the universe is so vast."

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Earth and humanity are far too insignificant."

Seeing the former number one and number two strongest people on Earth looking at him with a sense of existential crisis and constant sighs, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Then, he directly stated his thoughts.

"As you can probably guess, I have inherited some relics of ancient civilizations."

"Now, I would like to ask for your opinions: are you willing to join my lineage and become outer disciples of this lineage?"

He had already discussed this matter with Babata.

Babata agreed, as long as it wasn't a core secret technique of the Meteorite Star lineage or other methods that would expose their identities, Zhou Yang could arrange the rest.

Not only Hong and Lei Shen, but Zhou Yang also plans to select qualified martial artists from around the world and teach them higher-level secret techniques.

The universe is vast and boundless. On the road ahead, it is inevitable to feel lonely if there are no fellow travelers to walk alongside.

Moreover, Earthlings are not as incompetent as Babata claims.

He knew that Earth had long been transformed by that mysterious cosmic supreme being, the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

All life born on Earth will far surpass the vast majority of geniuses in the universe in terms of their spiritual and intellectual understanding.

What humanity currently lacks are physical fitness, secret techniques, and resources.

Imagine that those older generation powerhouses who survived the Great Nirvana Era, relying solely on incomplete secret techniques discovered in some ancient civilization relics, were able to cultivate all the way to the War God level and Planetary level. Would their aptitude be lacking?

If they had enough resources and a complete cultivation method, their strength would definitely experience a surge!

Zhou Yang doesn't have much of a solution for other cultivation resources for the time being, but he has no shortage of cultivation secrets.

The Meteorite Star lineage has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years. In addition to its own core secret techniques, it has naturally collected many other cultivation methods.

While these cultivation methods may only be considered average in the vast universe, they are still far superior to the incomplete and secret methods currently practiced by humans on Earth.

With the support of complete secret methods, I believe it will enable those old predecessors on Earth who have come all the way from the Great Nirvana period to go even further!

"Can we join too?"

Both Hong and Lei Shen were excited.

They naturally had no reason to refuse, and after a long-winded "instruction" from Babata, the two successfully became outer disciples of the Meteorite Star lineage.

On that day, a solemn meeting encompassing all planetary-level warriors from various factions on Earth was held in the War God Palace.

At the conference, a vast and magnificent blueprint of the universe unfolded before the powerful figures of Earth.

Soon, a series of earthquake-like news reports spread rapidly to every corner of the world.

"Beyond the level of a War God is not the end of cultivation; there are even higher realms above."

"The Ultimate Martial Arts Arena War God Training Camp has been renamed the Super God Training Camp."

"The recruitment target is all martial artists at or below the God of War level on Earth. The graduation requirement has been raised to the Planetary level, which is the original Councilor level powerhouse."

"All Extreme Martial Arts Schools and Thunder Martial Arts Schools will be renamed Starry Sky Martial Arts Schools. Headmaster: Zhou Yang! Deputy Headmasters: Hong He and Thunder God!"

"From now on, Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy will provide basic cultivation methods free of charge, which will be granted upon passing the realm assessment. Special methods will require the use of contribution points to obtain."

"Oh, and one more thing: the exchange privileges for martial artists of Chinese descent have been increased by one level, and the required contribution points have been halved!"
