Personality
Babata is proud, theatrical, and quick to anger when her authority is challenged. She initially regards Earth’s bloodlines and civilization as inferior, assumes Luo Feng will be easy to manipulate, and alternates between grand speeches, threats, and desperate pleading when he refuses to cooperate. Her attempt to demand eight kowtows likewise collapses when Luo Feng exposes the invented requirement 49 50 51.
Her devotion to Hu Yanbo is far more enduring than her pride. She mourns him openly, fiercely protects his collected techniques, and treasures his gifts as personal keepsakes rather than expendable resources. Even after becoming Luo Feng’s longtime companion, she considers Hu Yanbo her only true master 50 68 77 387.
Although she enjoys games, snacks, and avoiding exhausting assignments, Babata is capable of sustained, demanding work. She also knows when not to intrude: during Luo Feng’s thirty years in Chaos City, she largely remains silent so that he can concentrate on cultivation 61 64 159.
Her understanding of powerful beings changes slowly. She explains that countless eras of treating Immortals as lofty figures cannot simply be overturned by Luo Feng’s rapid rise. This leaves her repeatedly astonished by opportunities and experts that Luo Feng, guided by Lin Mo, has already learned to assess more critically 126 159.
History
Hu Yanbo’s Companion and the Search for an Heir
Babata accompanied Hu Yanbo through his long travels across the universe. She describes spending more than sixty million years at his side, during which they encountered only three Starry Sky Behemoths 71.
After Yun Mo Planet’s destruction and Hu Yanbo’s death, she remained hidden beneath Earth for fifty thousand years, preserving his remains and inheritance while waiting for a suitable successor. Luo Feng was the most talented candidate she had found in that period, with a Brain Domain Width that met her requirements 49 50.
Recruiting Luo Feng
Babata brought Luo Feng to Hu Yanbo’s crystal coffin and urged him to inherit the Yun Mo Planet lineage. Her lengthy praise of Hu Yanbo failed to impress him because Lin Mo had already provided broader cultivation knowledge. When a death threat also failed, she clung to Luo Feng’s leg and begged him to accept 50.
With Lin Mo’s approval, Luo Feng agreed. Babata then tried to impose eight kowtows as part of the ceremony, only to admit that she had invented the requirement to recover some dignity for her master. After the proper ceremony, she handed over a World Ring containing access to the inheritance’s resources 51.
Discovering Lin Mo inside Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness explained why her manipulation had failed. His identity as the former Star Sea King overturned her assumptions about both Luo Feng and Hu Yanbo’s place in the universe 52.
Supporting Luo Feng’s Departure from Earth
Babata selected and taught the Nine-Nine Spirit Tempering Method, guiding Luo Feng through the eighty-one uninterrupted steps needed for his spiritual-force breakthrough to Planetary Level 54.
Her attempt to hack the spacecraft in Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 12 triggered its self-destruct system. Following Lin Mo’s instructions, she flooded its processor with junk data to halt the countdown, then reconstructed the burned-out control system. The work took just over three months rather than the half-year originally expected 60 61.
Once the ship was ready, Babata operated it on Luo Feng’s first interstellar journey to Qiu Long Star and taught him humanity’s universal language. She subsequently introduced him to the Virtual Universe, although her attempt to spend his money on leisure ended when Lin Mo revealed that he could monitor her there too 62 63 64.
Resources and the Golden Horned Beast
Under Lin Mo’s pressure, Babata supplied basic Planetary Level manuals to Hong and Thunder God despite her objections to sharing Yun Mo Planet’s techniques with outsiders 68.
She enthusiastically supported possessing the Golden Horned Beast and volunteered Hu Yanbo’s techniques, including Void Tower, Six-pointed Star, and Possession. Luo Feng ultimately used Lin Mo’s Soul Duel instead; after examining it, Babata recognized its superiority to Hu Yanbo’s possession method 71 72 73.
Lin Mo later compelled her to surrender valuable keepsakes from her private treasury to finance Luo Feng’s equipment and cultivation. Babata correctly warned that selling such treasures openly at Star Level would invite predatory attention. She accepted the plan only after learning that Lin Mo could temporarily grant Luo Feng Domain Lord-level combat power 77 78.
Continued Companionship
As Luo Feng entered the Virtual Universe Company’s core ranks, Babata continued managing information and reporting developments, including recruitment invitations and Bolan’s Heavenly Bridge progress 96 97 143.
During the Blood Luo Continent mission, she controlled the spacecraft’s meteorite disguise and identified Immortal Temple core members through their cuff markings 165 175. Much later, a casual remark finally revealed to her that Luo Feng had deliberately sought out the Yun Mo Planet inheritance rather than finding it by chance 179.
Before dispersing his remnant soul, Lin Mo softened his usual treatment of Babata and encouraged her to become an independent mechanical lifeform rather than remain dependent on a master forever. She wept at his farewell and later rejoiced with Luo Feng when they learned he had been revived 191 194.
New Yun Mo Planet and Hu Yanbo’s Resurrection
After evolving through the Evolution Heart and reaching Immortality, Babata rebuilt Yun Mo Planet. She also recovered Hu Yanbo’s former territories through her own strength, excluding the Milky Way Galaxy, which belonged to Luo Feng 235 387.
By Luo Feng’s return as a Universe Master, she could teleport but had remained largely within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. She had not received a Hongmeng Alliance invitation, so Luo Feng sent her one directly 387.
Luo Feng then offered to resurrect Hu Yanbo. Babata eagerly accompanied him into space and, after the resurrection, rushed to her former master in tears. Hu Yanbo was bewildered to discover that she had become stronger than he was 387 388.

- Luo Feng — Initially a mutually useful successor, later a companion closer to a partner than a servant’s master. He funds her development, respects her attachment to Hu Yanbo, and ultimately resurrects him 235 387 388.
- Lin Mo / Star Sea King — An intimidating supervisor who repeatedly assigns her work and challenges her narrow expectations. Despite their frequent clashes, his farewell moves her to tears, and she celebrates his return 52 60 191 194.
- Hong and Thunder God — Recipients of basic Yun Mo Planet cultivation manuals that Babata reluctantly distributes under Lin Mo’s orders 68.
