After packing their things, Yang Yu and Babata arrived outside the mothership.

With a wave of Babata illusory little hand, the entire mothership was stored in Babata's Storage Space.

"Yang Yu, the internal systems of the Black Dragon Spaceship need to be reloaded. It will take several more days for it to actually fly. Also, give me those three Liquid Silver Guard you acquired. I'll see if I can repair them. If you don't have enough start-up capital when you go to space, you can sell one or two of them to raise money."

Babata said to Yang Yu, "Although I have some money in my account, it's very, very little. It's all money I deposited into my account to play virtual games when I was bored. It's just pocket change, so it definitely won't be enough for you later."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Babata." Yang Yu took out three Liquid Silver Guards that were no longer functional and handed them to Babata.

"Hehe, don't mention it. It's nothing to me. Once I've fixed the Black Dragon Spaceship, you can fly anywhere in the Solar System!"

Babata said happily, "Babata 'm very pleased to receive such sincere thanks from a true genius."

"When I was exploring Earth, I also checked out the planets around it and found something interesting on Mars, which isn't far away. We'll make that our first stop. We can't let you go to space empty-handed; otherwise, you won't be able to get anything done."

"Thanks, Babata." Yang Yu said sincerely. He knew that Babata was planning to take him to take over the Steel Base on Mars and exchange it for money as their first start-up capital for entering the universe.

"No need to be so polite, Yang Yu. It's just that I'm lucky to have met you. If you were born into one of those powerful families, with your talent, you wouldn't even look at such a small amount of money." Babata waved his hand dismissively.

"Although you are only Registered Disciple of our Yunmo Planet, our fates are now intertwined, at least for now. So you don't need to be so polite in the future. Only when you rise to prominence will I have hope of finding a truly outstanding personal disciple for my master, and only then will I have a sliver of hope of avenging him."

During the flight back to the valley, Babata had a rare heart-to-heart talk with Yang Yu.

"Haha, Babata, you're right. Then I won't be so polite from now on," Yang Yu said happily.

Babata is right. Before Earth was discovered to be special, it was just an ordinary Life Planet, and the humans living on it were of very average strength, not to mention any Bloodline Level or anything like that.

This is why Babata was unwilling to give up after seeing Yang Yu. After all, once he missed the opportunity, with Babata's Sentient AI's computing power, he knew that the probability of finding another genius comparable to Yang Yu in such a place was infinitely close to 0!

Therefore, at this stage, aligning with Yang Yu and investing in him has become the only option.

This was a win-win situation for both of them, and since neither of them was stupid, they naturally reached an agreement without tacitly agreeing to it.

And so, Yang Yu and Babata chatted a lot along the way.

Yang Yu also learned from Babata about the past glory of Yunmo Planet. At its peak, the strongest Hu Yanbo was Marquis Level Immortal, and he had nine Immortal Slave under his command. His power shook thousands of star systems, and countless geniuses and strongmen vied to become disciples of Yunmo Planet.

Unfortunately, in the end, all of this vanished into thin air.

When talking about these things, Babata's cute face twisted uncontrollably. "So, I hope Yang Yu, you can live up to my investment! Let me win this gamble!"

"Don't worry, Babata, I won't let you lose," Yang Yu said confidently.

"I hope so. After all, your talent is truly extraordinary. As long as you can escape Earth, you'll have plenty of opportunities to rise to the top. Moreover, you have a good character. As long as you don't perish along the way, you might very well become an unparalleled powerhouse."

Babata had been watching Yang Yu cultivate during this time. To be honest, Babata had only heard of Yang Yu's incredible cultivation speed and comprehension before, but had never seen it in person.

"No one can predict the future, so living well in the present is enough."

Riding the Thunder Blade, flying freely over the Pacific Ocean, Yang Yu was in a very relaxed mood.

He had acquired the most important spaceship, and the initial funding for his journey into space was secured; a bright future awaited him.

Returning to the valley in high spirits, Yang Yu continued his cultivation, while Babata focused on repairing the Black Dragon Spaceship and the Liquid Silver Guard.

Two weeks later, Babata finally appeared next to Yang Yu. "Phew! The spaceship is finally repaired. When are we leaving for Mars?"

"Is it fixed already?" Yang Yu asked in surprise after waking up from his immersion in comprehending the Lightning Origin Law.

In Yang Yu's perception, it seemed like only a short while had passed.

"Haha, of course. If it weren't for the need to repair those weapons that have been sitting for hundreds of thousands of years, just repairing the spaceship's Intelligent System would only take a few days. But we're going to be adventuring in space, so how can the spaceship be without weapons?"

"You've thought this through quite thoroughly. Once I get back, we'll head to Mars." Yang Yu packed up, then rode the Thunder Blade with Babata back to his home in Jiangnan Base City.

Yang Yu is now an Army General and has also contributed a valuable cultivation manual from the universe. In gratitude for his contributions, Huaxia built a beautiful and practical mansion for Yang Yu in the Base City land is extremely valuable.

Yang Yu couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

Not long ago, Grandpa Yang and Wang Lin also moved here.

It's worth mentioning that after Grandpa Yang and Wang Lin ate the Emerald Spirit Fruit and drank the spiritual liquid infused with the Millennium Black Crow Root for more than a month, their physical fitness has now reached the Advanced General-Level.

Grandpa Yang, in particular, after eating the purifying and nourishing Emerald Spirit Fruit and being nourished by the spiritual liquid, is now a completely different person.

Not only has he been New Birth, but his once full head of white hair has now turned completely black, and his whole being is full of vitality. He looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, not at all like an elderly man in his seventies.

Moreover, having learned the latest Martial Way training knowledge during this period, Grandpa Yang's strength is quite impressive.

Yang Yu originally wanted to give Grandpa Yang the Iron Gall Spirit Bead to directly elevate his physical attributes to the Senior War God, but Grandpa Yang refused.

The Emerald Spirit Fruit and the Millennium Black Crow Root had already benefited him greatly, rebuilding his foundation and giving him New Birth lease on life. Grandpa Yang couldn't bear to waste another spiritual object that he considered extremely precious.

Therefore, they refused to consume the Iron Gall Spirit Bead under any circumstances.

Wang Lin was the same. He also said that his current Martial Way Realm was not enough to keep up with his physical fitness, and that blindly improving his physical strength would only do harm and no good.

Grandpa Yang nodded repeatedly as he listened.

During this time, they all fell in love with the feeling of cultivation and, deep down, wanted to become true strongmen through their own cultivation.

Yang Yu did not force them to make their choices.

Anyway, after Yang Yu scanned his grandfather's body with his Optical Brain and learned that his natural lifespan was at least another hundred years, he gave up the idea of persuading him.

If Grandpa and Wang Lin cannot break through to the Planetary Level within ten years on their own, then frankly speaking, their cultivation talent is too ordinary. They might as well use treasures to improve it directly.

With this way, Yang Yu can live a worry-free life and feel more at ease while venturing out into the world.

As for now, let them enjoy their cultivation to the fullest. If they really have talent, that would be best; if not, it's okay, I'll take care of them anyway.

After having lunch with his grandfather and Wang Lin, Yang Yu bid them farewell again, telling them that he might be in seclusion for quite some time and that they shouldn't worry if they couldn't contact him.

Upon arriving in the wilderness, Babata took out a brand-new Black Dragon Spaceship.

Looking at the Saucer Shaped Spaceship with a diameter of one hundred meters, Yang Yu was overjoyed. "Haha, we're finally going into space! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

"Babata, you've collected the basic data samples of Earth, haven't you?"

"Don't worry, this little thing has already been taken care of. Let's set off now!"

Babata rubbed his little hands excitedly, then opened the hatch and entered the spaceship with Yang Yu.

In the same luxurious Command Hall, under Babata's control, the fully repaired Black Dragon Spaceship silently took off and then flew straight into space.

"Yang Yu, don't worry. Under my cover, your Earth's satellites can't detect our spaceship. Everything is kept secret."

She glanced at Babata in surprise, never expecting that Babata had guessed her little scheme.

However, Yang Yu didn't care. Even if he was discovered, it wasn't a big deal.

With Yang Yu receiving the Thunder Inheritance and breaking through to the Planetary Level, all the conflicts on Earth lost their meaning in Yang Yu eyes.

His current goal is to integrate into the universe as soon as possible, and then bring the true geniuses on Earth, such as Hong, Thor, Jia Yi, and the emerging Genius Martial Artist like Dong Nanbiao, into the universe to continuously enhance Earth's foundation and strength.

As for now, Yang Yu will take the lead, scout out the path, and make preparations before making further arrangements. After guiding them onto the road, the future development will be up to them.

The distance between Mars and Earth is not far. With the Black Dragon Spaceship's powerful Power System, it can easily reach a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second. Moreover, Babata also stated that once he has repaired the Auxiliary Power System, he will be able to travel through the universe without any pressure.

As for traveling to Mars now, there is absolutely no problem.

In the vast Starry Sky.

Yang Yu curiously looked at the outside world through the screen in front of him.

However, it's still impossible to fully appreciate the vastness and depth of the starry sky on a screen.

Seeing this, Babata snapped his fingers crisply.

"External View Simulation: 100%!"

"Whoosh!"

The entire control panel, chair, floor, and everything else in front of Yang Yu vanished.

The surrounding area was now covered by a hazy layer of clouds.

"The Black Dragon Spaceship is currently accelerating through the atmosphere and will soon be completely off Earth."

"Acceleration complete, departed!"

At this moment, Yang Yu turned his head to look.

A huge, azure planet came into view.

"This is Earth!"

Stunning, magnificent, and beautiful!

I've often seen photos of Earth online and on TV before, and while I found them beautiful and awe-inspiring, they're nothing like what I actually see now.

This is the first time I've seen such a scene in real life; it's so beautiful it touches my soul!

As the Black Dragon Spaceship accelerated, the azure planet shrank continuously.

Only after it had completely disappeared from sight did Yang Yu turn around and see the sun ahead.

It was a planet that seemed to burn with flames forever.

"The spacecraft has accelerated to its maximum speed, reaching 100,000 kilometers per second, and will now proceed to Mars at a constant speed."

Babata's voice rang out.

"A dreamlike starry sky!"

Yang Yu looked around at the mysterious yet boundless starry sky, where he could even see asteroids and celestial dust within his field of vision.

"The vast ocean Xingchen are truly beautiful!"

At this moment, Yang Yu felt as if his soul had been cleansed. In such a vast starry sky, humanity was truly insignificant.

But even the most insignificant human beings, when pushed to their limits, can shatter Xingchen and Annihilation Mystery the cosmos!

It is both insignificant and magnificent!

Gazing at the panoramic simulated external starry sky, Yang Yu watched quietly for a while before sighing with genuine emotion.

"The starry sky is beautiful, but looking at it too much can feel boring and cold," Babata said at that moment.

"Let's use 10% simulation," Yang Yu said to Babata, not wanting to get tired of the beautiful scenery so quickly.

Brush!

The surrounding starry sky instantly dimmed, as if through a layer of phantom, but the shadows of the sun and surrounding planets could still be seen, only very faintly and indistinctly.

The control room, chairs, floor, and other elements that had disappeared all reappeared.

It must be said that technology is quite impressive once it reaches a certain level; at least the experience provided by this panoramic simulation is fantastic.

An hour isn't enough time to accomplish much. Yang Yu chatted with Babata for a while, learning a lot about common knowledge in the universe and the situation of various spaceships. Before he knew it, he had arrived at Mars.

The spaceship slowed down.

A crimson Cloud-Pattern Battle Armor appeared on Yang Yu's body, and he also wore a helmet formed from the Black God Set, only revealing his eyes.

As the black, Saucer Shaped Spaceship slowly descended, Yang Yu flew out after the hatch opened and hovered above the ground.

Sensing a gravity much smaller than Earth's, Yang Yu immediately adjusted the Miniature Planet within his body to adapt.

This is why only Planetary Level can be considered official citizens in the universe. After all, if you arrive on an unfamiliar planet and cannot even adapt to the local gravity, you cannot be considered a qualified Universe Citizen.

As Yang Yu looked down.

Suddenly, they discovered towering, enormous pyramid-shaped structures standing on the vast, gravelly land.

It just looked rotten.

That's the lingering smell of decay left behind by the passage of time.

After counting the buildings in front of him, Yang Yu discovered that there were as many as nine giant pyramids.

Upon closer inspection, Yang Yu discovered that although the surface of these pyramids had been eroded by time, they were still well-preserved overall.

Upon landing, Yang Yu's powerful Mental Force penetrated directly into the earth, immediately revealing an Underground City beneath the giant pyramid.

"Before the master took control of this place, it was under the rule of the Yinlan Empire, a nascent cosmic nation, and Earth was one of two Life Planet within a thousand light-years of it."

According to Babata, there is a Life Planet nearly 100 light-years away from Earth, but Earth's current technological capabilities are not yet able to discover it.

"The original Earth was Livestock Planet, specializing in raising and domesticating powerful Monsters to sell for money. The population was only a few million, dedicated to serving the pastoral industry."
