You Meng

"Source Star?" Su You muttered. The name seemed vaguely familiar!

Su You recalled the memories of his past life, his expression suddenly shifting as he thought to himself: "It couldn't be that Source Star, could it?"

"During the era of the first candidate for the Star Tower, Earth was known as the Shan Hai Realm. In the era of the second candidate, Earth's name was Source Star. Could this be a coincidence?"

"No, it shouldn't be a coincidence. Over 800,000 epochs ago, the gap between Luo Feng and the second candidate of the Star Tower was 8.2 billion years. The timeline matches up. Could this little girl be a human from Earth during the era of the second Star Tower candidate?"

"Hmm?" The little girl, You Meng, heard Su You's muttering and stared at him intently, asking: "You know about Source Star?"

Su You thought quickly and said: "We have this name in many novels and movies on Earth. It means the 'Star of Origin', right?"

"Pfft, so it's just some fictional stuff!"

You Meng looked somewhat disdainful as she spoke:

"Our Source Star was once a major power in the universe. We occupied a vast star sector containing over 100,000 star systems, independent of the Ganwu Universe Country. Even the Ganwu Universe Master had no authority to govern us."

"Do you know about the Ganwu Universe Country? That is a high-level civilization in the universe, with over 13,000 star sectors and more than 100 million star systems under its jurisdiction. It is one of the highest-level universe countries among the human race. My father's status was among the top few within the entire Ganwu Universe Country."

"Your father?"

The little girl, You Meng, smiled slightly and said proudly: "My father was the master of Source Star, a king among the immortals. He had over five hundred immortals under his command."

Su You asked cautiously: "And what about now?"

"Now?"

The little girl, You Meng, sighed: "More than 800,000 epochs ago, not long after news of my father's death arrived, one of his enemies destroyed Source Star. All the members of Source Star who remained there must have perished."

"I just browsed through your information network and discovered that this planet you call Earth is in the Milky Way, just like our Source Star, and it seems to be quite close."

"Quite close? It should be the exact same location. After being modified by Zuoshanke, even if Earth were to shatter into debris, it would repeatedly condense back into a whole."

Su You thought to himself. As for why this little girl, You Meng, didn't recognize that Earth and Source Star were in the same spot, it was understandable.

After all, 8.2 billion years is an incredibly long time. Most of the surrounding star systems haven't even existed that long, and the changes in the vicinity have been too drastic. Furthermore, there are no star charts on Earth, and their observation technology is extremely backward, which is why she didn't recognize it immediately.

Su You pressed further: "So, does that mean there are no more members of Source Star left?"

The little girl, You Meng, frowned: "There aren't any now, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future. My father said he would return in the distant future. Once he returns, Source Star can be rebuilt."

Su You thought to himself: "The distant future? Isn't that just resurrection? But a World Lord can't withstand the passage of time like that!"

In the memories of his past life, the two candidates for the Star Tower before Luo Feng were a World Lord and an Immortal. It seems this master of Source Star must have been that Immortal candidate.

However, 8.2 billion years have passed; if he were to be resurrected, he should have been by now. After all, the master of Source Star was a King-level powerhouse among the human race; he shouldn't have been delayed for so long. It seems something must have gone wrong.

"Well? Have you decided yet? Are you willing to be my servant now?"

Su You thought for a moment and said: "Uh, what use do you have for a servant? Why not just take me on as a disciple of Source Star instead?"

The little girl, You Meng, frowned and said: "The Milky Way was indeed within the sphere of influence of our Source Star, so it's not impossible. However, your strength is too poor; you don't meet the minimum standards to become a disciple of our Source Star at all."

"Minimum standards?"

You Meng nodded: "You must at least be a genetic warrior, which is the Planetary level, and your body amplitude must reach 20 times."

"20 times?" Su You was shocked. Even Thunder God, who had the strongest body amplitude on Earth, was only at 7 times.

But thinking about it, it made sense. In the memories of his past life, Luo Feng only became a member of Yunmo Planet after his spiritual force amplitude reached 16 at the No. 9 ancient ruins. This Source Star was clearly much stronger than Yunmo Planet, so it wasn't surprising that the difficulty was higher.

Su You negotiated: "Uh, I did bring you out from underground, after all. Can't you lower the standards a bit?"

You Meng looked at Su You: "These standards were set by my father, and I don't have the authority to change them. However..."

Su You quickly asked: "However what?"

A glimmer of cunning flashed in You Meng's eyes as she said, appearing somewhat troubled:

"How about this: you become my servant first. That way, you'll count as one of our Source Star people, and you'll be able to learn some of our secret techniques. Once your strength reaches the standard to become a disciple, you will automatically become a disciple of Source Star."

Su You frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant. When others had fortuitous encounters, they were taken on as legacy disciples; why did he have to start as a servant?

Seeing Su You hesitate, You Meng said somewhat anxiously: "Su You, don't worry. With my guidance, you should be able to reach the standard to become a disciple of Source Star in three to five years at most."

"Hmm? Why is she so fixated on me being her servant? And she seems even more anxious than I am! What is she planning? Could she be coveting my body and wanting to possess me?"

"But intelligent life shouldn't have a soul, right? No, wait, she doesn't seem to be a pure intelligent life form either."

Various thoughts flew through Su You's mind, and he grew deeply suspicious of the intelligent life form before him, unable to help but ask:

"Are you really an intelligent life form? Why haven't you found someone else to bring you out from underground all these years?"

According to common sense, an intelligent life form should be able to monitor the entire globe. Even the intelligence at the No. 9 ancient ruins could monitor the development of humanity on Earth. As an intelligent life form, why couldn't she even speak Chinese at the beginning?

You Meng sighed: "I am an intelligent life form, of course, but I am a damaged one."

"A damaged intelligent life form?" Su You asked, puzzled.

You Meng nodded: "That's right. The material of that ring is a very rare, high-grade metal. My father happened to obtain a small piece of it. It can convert a soul into a data format, effectively turning it into an intelligent life form."

"But this also has a huge flaw. After becoming an intelligent life form, I was almost completely restricted to the ring. At most, I could only monitor the situation within two or three meters; I had no way to communicate with the outside world."

"It wasn't until you arrived that I was able to enter your planet's information network through your communication watch and create a translation program for the Universal Language and Chinese."
