Dragon-Qiu Star

A few days later.

Tang Ping was lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, soaking in the warm spring sun for a nap, when an unusually powerful surge of heat suddenly erupted within his body. It coursed rapidly through his entire frame, beginning to reshape him.

Oh! It's only been a few days. It seems Luo Feng's strength has reached the Star Level, and his speed of soul-transfer is much faster than in the original story. Having anticipated this, Tang Ping didn't get up; he remained on the chair, allowing the energy to continue its transformation.

This transformative power came and went quickly, and within a short while, the process was complete.

Just as I expected, the increase in genetic level following a soul-transfer can also be triggered by the Heaven Rewards Diligence System. Hmm... my luck seems pretty good. I should have a genetic level of about a thousand times.

However, the most important thing is this... the clone ability! I didn't expect my previous hypothesis to be true. Thanks to the omnipotent system, even innate abilities can be triggered for a critical hit. Although my luck didn't explode and only hit a 10x multiplier, I had specifically adjusted the allocation ratio to 1,000:9,000 beforehand. This means I can possess a full 27 clones—that's more than enough. And Luo Feng can have 6 clones; at the very least, his quota is much more generous than in the original story.

With the two most important rewards in his plan secured, an exhilarated Tang Ping bounced off the lounge chair. "Haha... I'll treat myself to a feast today. Time to go get the ingredients."

"Babata, what's going on? According to the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Behemoth I received, the Golden Horned Behemoth should have a 10x genetic level, and the innate secret ability 'Clone' should only grant three slots: one at the Planetary Level, one at the Universe Level, and one at the World Lord Level. Why do I feel like my genetic level is at least over a hundred, and I have six clone slots, with two available right now at the Planetary Level?" On the other side, Luo Feng was feeling quite puzzled.

Usually, although the reward ratios Tang Ping allocated to him were much higher than this, Luo Feng and his other brothers—who were essentially Tang Ping's tools—had assumed it was simply their own talents improving, as they lacked a fixed baseline for comparison.

But this time, Luo Feng clearly understood from the Golden Horned Behemoth's inherited memories that no newborn Golden Horned Behemoth had ever been an exception in this regard, so he was truly confused.

"Uh... I certainly don't know more about the Golden Horned Behemoth than you do. But from what you're saying, it sounds like a good thing. If you can't figure it out, don't dwell on it. Isn't it better to be even more powerful than the inherited memories describe?" The devil Babata was broad-minded; in his view, as long as it was a good thing, it didn't matter if they didn't understand the cause.

"I suppose that's all I can do." After thinking about it and realizing he had no better options, Luo Feng finally gave up on getting to the bottom of it.

"Hehe... Luo Feng, I have good news for you. I've almost finished repairing that spaceship of yours. You should hurry up and gestate your first clone; by the time it's ready, I'll definitely have finished the repairs." To distract Luo Feng, Babata tossed out another big surprise.

Because there were twice as many clone slots as in the original story, Babata didn't try to persuade Luo Feng not to waste a slot on a human body this time—though it wouldn't have mattered if he had.

With Tang Ping's Heaven Rewards Diligence System, Luo Feng's strength was greater than in the original timeline, so the speed of gestating a clone was naturally faster as well.

In just over half a year, the human Luo Feng reappeared.

Meanwhile, the carefree Tang Ping, while on Earth, had already used up all nine of his Planetary Level clone slots. As for the materials used? They were all his own genetic material.

After all, he really couldn't think of where he could find an existence with a higher genetic level than his own in such a short time. A thousand times—most special life forms couldn't even reach that level of genetic hierarchy.

As for gestating those special life forms to acquire their innate secret abilities, there was no rush; he still had nine opportunities each at the Universe Level and the World Lord Level.

The nine clones he had gestated would be his main combat units. When adventuring in the universe, he could send his clones out, while his original body could stay on Earth and just lie flat.

Once Luo Feng's clone was successfully gestated and he could reappear, Babata lived up to expectations and announced that he had finished repairing the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship.

In truth, he had finished it months ago, but he had deliberately waited until Luo Feng could join them before revealing it. Although Tang Ping and the others had guessed as much, no one minded; they had intended to set off together anyway.

The brothers, who had spent quite some time on Mars, returned home with Luo Feng for a few days before making excuses about going into secluded cultivation to set off together. This time, however, their destination was the vast universe.

Under Tang Ping's meticulous planning, they finally stepped into the cosmic starry sky more than a year ahead of the original timeline.

The group flew into outer space, and then, with a wave of Luo Feng's hand, a massive black disc-shaped spaceship appeared. The outer hatch opened, the brothers flew inside, the hatch closed, and the ship tore through the void.

"Have you decided where we're going, Babata?" Jiang Yang poured a glass of red wine, drank it to calm his nerves, and asked Babata.

"Dragon-Qiu Star, a prosperous planet in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire," Babata replied, before proceeding to explain some basic common knowledge about the planet to the group.

About nine days later, the spaceship returned to the original universe from the Dark Universe.

Tang Ping and the others saw it... in the vast starry sky, there was a planet in the distance that seemed to shimmer with colorful light, with two faint satellites orbiting it.

"That planet is Dragon-Qiu Star," Babata said. "Once we enter, everyone must follow what I've told you. Don't cause trouble; your strength is not enough to be taken seriously on this planet."

"We know, we know. You've said that eight hundred times on the way here. We aren't the type to go looking for trouble, so don't worry." Little Fatty Li Ze was clearly excited about the first extraterrestrial planet they were about to visit, and he couldn't wait.

"Hmph! You all stay together after we leave the ship. I don't trust you." Babata wasn't about to believe their nonsense now.

However, he wasn't worried about them disobeying him. It was simple: aside from him, the devil Babata, Tang Ping and the others didn't have a single cent to their names. Without him, they couldn't do anything.

Upon arriving at the planet's docking port, they followed the guidance signals to land the ship. After paying the docking fees in the manner Babata had taught them, the group flew directly toward the nearest city.

Once inside the city, the group followed Babata's plan and made their first stop the administrative building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on the planet. Their goal, naturally, was to join the empire and obtain citizenship.
