Appearance

Babata initially appears as a phantom-like small devil with horns and a tail, projected into Luo Feng's mind or through communication devices. It later receives a physical puppet body designed after its own image. 133 136 215

• Horned, tailed, little-devil-like virtual form. 133
• Adult-human-sized black-and-green puppet body. 215
• Puppet body was forged from Life Tree branches and ferocious-beast blood. 215
• The physical vessel can move as agilely as a real person, though it initially emits beastlike roars due to the blood used in its construction. 215

Personality

Babata is proud, excitable, and intensely expressive. It frequently calls itself “Lord Babata,” boasts of its knowledge, and becomes ecstatic when encountering rare inheritances, technologies, or cultivation talent. 133 134 159

It is also calculating and profit-minded. Upon learning of Xu Qing's talent, Babata immediately proposes bringing him into the Black Ink Star lineage so the lineage will not “take a loss.” 134 Though it initially regards Xu Qing with skepticism, Babata gradually becomes one of his most vocal admirers—while continuing to call him a “freak.” 135 142 214

Babata has a combative, teasing relationship with Xu Qing. Their arguments often end with Babata too angry to continue speaking, particularly because its lack of a physical body initially prevents it from acting on its threats. 136 142

Background / History

Babata is an intelligent life form connected to Luo Feng's fortuitous encounter beneath Earth and the Black Ink Star lineage. It serves as Luo Feng's guide, providing knowledge that Earth’s cultivators lack, including information on cultivation realms, bloodlines, Origin Laws, the universe's political powers, and advanced technology. 133 141 144 145

When Luo Feng asks it to identify Xu Qing's presumed Dragon Turtle egg, Babata recognizes it as an extraterrestrial Starry Sky Behemoth egg. It urgently pushes Luo Feng to secure the egg, then advises him to seize the newly hatched creature through soul possession to gain its superior bloodline and inherited techniques. 133 134 135 136

Babata becomes highly interested in Xu Qing after learning of his exceptional force amplitude, spiritual-force amplitude, and brain-domain width. It helps arrange for Xu Qing to receive both the Fighter and Spirit Controller inheritances of the Black Ink Star lineage, then witnesses Xu Qing's extraordinary epiphany and all-attribute domain. 133 134 135

After Luo Feng's soul seizure succeeds, Babata continues guiding both Luo Feng and Xu Qing. It filters secret techniques for Luo Feng, helps train Hong and Thor after they join the Black Ink Star lineage, and accompanies the group into the wider universe. 136 141 144

During the Thunder World assessment, Babata acts as the group's scout, strategist, and source of information. It identifies useful terrain, explains the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's power structure, and assists in locating and mining treasures within Kabu's World-within-a-World. 158 159 160

Xu Qing later forges Babata a spiritual puppet body, allowing it to act physically in the real world. Babata subsequently works with Akaro to seize control of nine Automaton Race pyramid spaceships and studies their advanced technology. 214 215 218
