Background / History
Babata manifests within the ancient Falling Ink Star spaceship discovered beneath Mist Island. Having waited 50,000 years for Luo Feng, it initially tests both Luo Feng and Fang Yi, becoming immediately suspicious when it cannot measure Fang Yi's brain region. 62
After explaining cosmic power levels, possession, and Hu Yanbo's inheritance, Babata offers the pair discipleship—while threatening to kill them if they refuse in order to preserve Falling Ink Star's secrets. It accepts Luo Feng as Hu Yanbo's direct disciple and creates the designation of special disciple for Fang Yi, granting him broad access to the spaceship's data, secret manuals, and facilities. 62
Babata oversees Luo Feng's cultivation plan while assisting Fang Yi's unusually rapid study of the Universal Language and Falling Ink Star manuals. Fang Yi's learning speed exceeds Babata's expectations and even surpasses Hu Yanbo's. 63 68
When Fang Yi enters his nine-month “birthing” state, Babata uses Falling Ink Star's detection systems to monitor him. Its scans identify an embryo-like redevelopment of Fang Yi's body but cannot examine his head, chest, or certain other areas, leaving Babata unable to explain the phenomenon. 64
Following Fang Yi's awakening and the Golden Horned Behemoth crisis, Babata accepts Fang Yi's explanation of an undiscovered ruin despite its doubts, prioritizing his special disciple's continued growth. It remains a frequent adviser during Fang Yi's Earth-based cultivation, cosmic travel, mercenary assessment, coliseum battles, and later missions. 67 70 105
Appearance
Babata usually appears as a small black-robed virtual figure. It can also manifest alongside holographic interfaces and the virtual spaces it administers. 62
- Black-robed, child-sized virtual appearance. 62
- Reveals two fangs when making threats or reacting excitedly. 62 67
- Frequently operates floating holographic keyboards and projections. 67
- As an intelligent lifeform, it can phase through projected objects rather than physically touch them. 104
Personality
Babata is blunt, excitable, and highly expressive. It readily insults Luo Feng for being insufficiently diligent, reacts with disbelief to Fang Yi's accelerated growth, and becomes openly animated when encountering rare treasures or exceptional potential. 63 67 104
Despite its sharp tongue, Babata is deeply invested in its disciples. It worries when Fang Yi disables his connection for extended periods, monitors his condition during his metamorphosis, objects to his dangerous missions, and supports Luo Feng's possession and cultivation path. 64 68 85 105
Babata strongly favors practical methods of advancement, particularly body possession into powerful races. Its repeated attempts to convince Fang Yi to abandon his human body contrast with Fang Yi's determination to preserve the Heavy Pupil and Supreme Bone. 68 69
