Deep beneath Mist Island.
Inside the Yinmo Star Ship.
A black virtual figure appeared in a lavish super-sized semicircular hall dozens of meters tall and nearly two hundred meters in length and width.
It was a tiny figure only about 1.45 meters tall, like a child, with two horns growing from its forehead, blood-red eyes, and a black robe.
It was called Babata.
Because when Hong had taken the Cloud-Piercing Vine earlier, he had said something to Gu Ce, Gu Ce learned that there had already been some movement on Babata's side, so he had Rimuru come over and have a good "talk" with it.
With the technological support of the complete Ice Desolation spacecraft produced by the Virtual Universe Company, Rimuru had properly "trained" Babata.
The current Babata was somewhat afraid of Rimuru.
"Gu Ce, I hope you keep your promise!" Babata stared fixedly at the screen and snorted coldly.
Gu Ce and Babata had already met in advance, and he had promised to help the master of the Yinmo Star find an outstanding heir. The price was that Babata would have to unconditionally agree to one request from him in the future.
Of course, Babata found this hard to accept.
But Gu Ce made him submit with just one sentence.
"You don't want your master to have no heir, do you?"
Babata yielded.
In the end, it agreed to Gu Ce's demand.
"Babata, open the door."
Gu Ce's voice rang out from outside the door, and Babata opened it impatiently.
The signals on Earth had all been taken over by Rimuru, and the farthest Babata's field of vision could see was the area around Mist Island. It had already seen Gu Ce bringing several people over, and among them there was indeed one spirit reader whose brain region breadth met the standard!
"Gu Ce! Where's the person you promised me?"
Babata said impatiently.
"Here." Gu Ce pushed Luo Feng out. "Take a look. What do you think of him?"
"This..."
Babata observed him carefully, then was overjoyed.
"Although his aptitude is average, on Earth he can be considered good. Not bad. He does indeed have the qualifications to inherit my master's legacy!" Babata said excitedly.
"Then that's fine." Gu Ce nodded. "Luo Feng, follow it and accept the inheritance. It will tell you the specifics. Don't be afraid. It won't hurt you. This is your opportunity."
Luo Feng was slightly stunned, then nodded solemnly.
From the earlier conversation between Gu Ce, Hong, and Thor, he had also roughly understood.
It seemed he had encountered an enormous opportunity!
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Babata! You may call me 'Demon Babata.' Of course, that's the way it sounds when translated into Earth's Chinese. In Universal Language, it should be said as 'xxxx.'"
Luo Feng clearly heard the string of words Babata said at the end, but he did not understand it at all.
"You have my Yinmo Star's token on you, so you should understand how powerful my Yinmo Star is! Come, first follow me to pay respects to my master!"
Babata took Luo Feng away.
Hong and Thor began discussing with Gu Ce the method of breaking through to the Stellar Level.
Very soon.
Because they had already talked things through beforehand, Luo Feng basically showed no resistance. Just as in the original work, he successfully became Hu Yanbo's disciple and obtained inheritances such as the Soul Seal.
After learning about the situation in the universe through Babata, he finally understood what Gu Ce and the others had been talking about.
"In other words, Hong, Thor, and Gu Ce all possess domains, and even in the universe they're rare geniuses? Even an existence like Teacher would be moved to take them as disciples?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. After Babata's explanation, he already knew what an Immortal existence was.
There were three geniuses on Earth who would even move an Immortal?
"That Gu Ce is even more ruthless than Hong and Thor." Babata said to Luo Feng with a grave expression.
"His goal is the universe humanity's Genius Battle. Although I don't think he can obtain any good ranking, his aptitude, even across the entire Qianwu Universe Country, counts as genius-level."
The basis Babata used here was that Gu Ce had comprehended Conception in one month and a domain in three months.
After Rimuru communicated with Babata, Babata also learned information about the Genius Battle, and according to what Gu Ce had said, it planned to arrange for Luo Feng to temper himself in the Genius Battle.
Babata's requirements were not high. If Luo Feng, under its cultivation, could rank near the top among the geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, it would be very happy.
Luo Feng only half understood, but nodded along.
"Luo Feng, with my cultivation, there is a very high chance that you will become a World Lord in the future!" Babata said in a high-spirited tone.
A World Lord could be considered a local emperor in the universe. It was very easy for one to obtain a star system as territory, and even in a mid-level universe civilization nation like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they would be treated with courtesy. They also had a lifespan of 1,000 eras, more than ten million years.
"With my help, your future achievements might not necessarily be weaker than that Gu Ce's. Surpassing Hong and Thor is certain." Babata said confidently.
In the universe, having talent alone was useless without resources to cultivate it.
With the assets left behind by a being who had barely been a Marquis Immortal, it could be said that Luo Feng had obtained his greatest trump card.
"Hm?"
At this point, Babata suddenly stopped. A moment later, it 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 a great gift you won't be able to refuse. If more than three months pass and you still haven't killed the Thunder Dragon Emperor, he'll punish you... by making you go mine on Mars."
"The Thunder Dragon Emperor?"
Luo Feng clicked his tongue.
One of the renowned two great beast emperors!
Back then, they had hidden in the sea, and even Hong and Thor had been unable to kill them!
One had to know that at that time, Hong already had a domain, and Thor was even at Planetary Level rank seven!
After coming out of Ruins No. 9, he had learned that the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor had already been slain by Gu Ce, but now, with the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Gu Ce was saying he would hand it over to him?
"The inheritance Gu Ce obtained has a very great origin," Babata said to Luo Feng. "Something he calls extremely valuable... Luo Feng, you have to do your utmost to fight for it!"
"Don't worry. Right now, your spirit energy amplification has already reached 16. Once both your spirit energy and genetic energy break through to the Planetary Level, plus my help, there is a very high chance you can accomplish it!"
"At worst, it still won't come to the point where you have to go mining."
Luo Feng also nodded with a grave expression.
Although the goal was very high, he did not want to give up either.
He had to obtain that mysterious great gift!
Luo Feng clenched his fists and made up his mind.
After sending Luo Feng to Babata and explaining some things to Hong and Thor, Gu Ce prepared to leave Earth and go adventuring.
"Breaking through to the Stellar Level actually isn't difficult. I estimate it won't be long before you two can break through."
Gu Ce said to Hong and Thor.
"Don't worry. I'll come back before the Genius Battle begins, roughly before the year 2066 of the Huaxia Calendar."
"Go without worry," Thor said with a nod. "After we break through to the Stellar Level, we'll also leave Earth and go adventuring in the universe."
"When the time comes, Earth's safety will fall onto Luo Feng's shoulders."
"I wonder if that kid can hold up?" Thor joked.
"You have to believe in him," Gu Ce said with a smile. "Besides, those slaves I bought aren't pushovers either. Even if some relatively weak Universe Level fighters come over, they'll have to think twice."
"That's good." Hong and Thor nodded together.
"Earth will be guarded by us!"
