Earth, Yangzhou City, within a beautiful garden.
The bright red peach blossoms were in full bloom. Under the peach tree, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God Shen sat together, drinking and chatting.
"Third son, we owe you a great debt this time. If it weren't for your breakthrough to the Star Level and the powerful weapon you brought from space, we would have suffered a huge loss."
Thunder God was still shaken as he recalled what had happened the day before.
Hong put down the wine jug, nodded, and said, "Who would have thought that these dignified Universe Adventurer, three at the Star Level and several at the Planet Level Nine of the planetary realm, would be doing such petty theft on Earth? If Babata hadn't discovered it, these people would probably have ransacked all the ruins on Earth."
"That's normal—although they are very powerful, they are bound by the law prohibiting the slave trade and dare not attack us natives, otherwise they would be violating the taboo of the Ganwu Universe Country. However, they covet the good things on our Earth, so they wanted to take them secretly, without anyone noticing. They just didn't expect that Babata had left surveillance cameras in those ruins and discovered their whereabouts."
Luo Feng explained.
" Babata did a great job this time; otherwise, many of the good things on our planet would definitely have been stolen."
Thunder God said with a smile.
"Snort!"
The figure of Babata, resembling a little devil, appeared; he snorted ungratefully and said, "You're celebrating too soon."
What does " Babata " mean?
Luo Feng said in surprise.
"What do you mean? Of those Universe Adventurer who came yesterday, you only killed one, and the rest all escaped. How can you be sure they'll let it go? What if they have some powerful force behind them, and next time they send a Space Judge-level expert to steal all the treasures on Earth? What will you do then?"
Babata warned.
" Universe Level powerhouse? No way, those kinds of powerhouses are extremely rare even in the universe."
Thunder God took a breath and said in surprise.
After Luo Feng returned from Qiu Long Star, he brought back an anonymous Virtual Universe sensing helmet, and the two of them also came into contact with the Virtual Universe.
"It's true that Universe Level are rare in the universe, but that's for ordinary forces. If they come from powerful forces, Universe Level beings are not lacking at all. Luo Feng —did you seize a token from that gorilla yesterday?"
"That's right." Luo Feng took out a dark cyan token with the character "mountain" written on it in the Universal Language.
" Babata, could it be that you've found information about this token?"
"That's right. After searching for a long time, I finally found the power to which this token belongs. It comes from the Nuolanshan Family of the Caro Empire, a primary cosmic civilization empire."
After a pause, Babata continued.
"The Nuolanshan Family is no ordinary family. They are the third-ranked family power in the Caro Empire. The founder Nuolanshan, is a Universe Level Giant Axe Warrior. He has six Universe Level personal disciples, the strongest of whom is at the Universe Level Eight. The Nuolanshan Family controls more than a thousand inhabited planets in the Caro Empire. Their headquarters are on Binglan Star. In addition to several Universe Level warriors, they also have eight thousand Bing Lan Guard under their command, all of whom are Star Level Nine warriors and Spirit Reader."
" Babata, are you sure you're not mistaken? The Nuolanshan Family is actually this powerful?"
Luo Feng was extremely surprised.
"Six Universe Level disciples, eight thousand Bing Lan Guard? That's too powerful! I thought those thieves on Earth were just petty thieves from the universe, I never imagined they had such a powerful background." Thunder God's expression changed slightly.
Hong also said in a low voice, "This is a big problem."
The joyous victory celebration was interrupted by Babata. Upon learning the news, the three strongest individuals on Earth frowned, sensing that trouble was about to befall them.
" Babata, those guys have such a background, they definitely won't give up those secrets of Earth. What do you think we should do?"
Luo Feng was somewhat anxious.
He knew more about what was on Earth than Hong and Thunder God. It would be understandable if they were just ordinary adventurers who lacked knowledge, but they came from a powerful family and were likely to recognize those things.
Even if they only discover one of those precious treasures, they will certainly not give it up.
Earth is still too weak. If it were Star Level powerhouse, he could deal with it by using the Laser Gun he bought from the Maple Leaf Pavilion or by exposing the Golden Horned Beast Clone; but if Universe Level powerhouse were to arrive, they would be completely helpless.
And the secrets on Earth are too alluring! The Nuolanshan Family, with so many Universe Level powerhouses, will surely send Universe Level next time they learn about their methods on Earth.
"Now you're panicking?" Babata glanced at the food on the table and continued, "Be thankful this isn't the universe of 50,000 years ago, otherwise you'd be facing the Nuolanshan Family's interstellar fleet. Earth would be utterly destroyed, and everyone on Earth would die."
" Babata, tell us the solution! You're only telling us this now, there must be a way, right?"
Luo Feng reminded him.
"Yes, Babata, stop hiding it, tell us what to do! We completely trust you," Thunder God quickly added.
Hong didn't speak, but a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
The three of them had no idea how to resolve the current situation. Perhaps only Babata, a knowledgeable and Intelligent Life, could figure out how to overcome this crisis.
The treasures inside those ruins are the most precious assets on Earth, and they certainly wouldn't want them stolen for no reason.
"Earth's greatest advantage right now is that it's still an indigenous planet. We can report this information and register Earth with the Maple Leaf Empire Maple Leaf Empire, gaining their protection for an entire era. As for this token, it can be submitted as evidence to the Maple Leaf Empire's office for them to handle. According to my investigation, the Maple Leaf Empire protects indigenous planets very well, and they will definitely take this report into account. Although a single token is unlikely to be sufficient evidence of the Nuolanshan Family's infringement on indigenous planets, it can at least serve as a warning to the Nuolanshan Family, deterring them from acting recklessly."
"Furthermore, Luo Feng and I will make another trip to space to retrieve the legacy left by your teacher and purchase a C-class planetary defense system. This will prevent Universe Level powerhouses from infiltrating undetected. We also need to find out how that spaceship arrived on Earth. Logically speaking, it's impossible for a spaceship to arrive on Earth. That spaceship even had Planetary Level; it definitely couldn't have traveled such a long distance to reach Earth. Something must have gone wrong."
"Yes, we need to find out exactly what happened."
Luo Feng nodded.
After Babata's reminder, the three realized that Earth might be in serious trouble. They dared not delay and split up to act.
Luo Feng handed the B9 Laser Gun to Hong Lai, so that if the escaped adventurers returned, there would be a way to deal with them.
Hong and Thunder God also have other tasks on Earth, namely collecting various data about the planet, which will be needed when registering Earth.
As for him and Babata, they left Earth aboard the Black Dragon Mountain Ship spaceship and headed back to Qiu Long Star.
Luo Feng's Human Clone has already reached the Star Level One, and is now qualified to withdraw the first sum of money left by Hu Yanbo.
With that money, one can not only purchase numerous treasures to rapidly enhance their strength, but also buy a planetary defense base to prevent unauthorized infiltration by powerful cosmic beings.
They won't dare force their way in unless they're suicidal.
In a remote corner of the night sky near Pluto, a silver-white spaceship lies silently still in space.
"Chieftain, I've sent out all the information. This is the situation: the natives of that planet discovered us for some reason, and they even have B9 Laser Gun. I'm no match for them—"
"That planet is rumored to have once been the training ground of Immortal God; it should have a lot of good stuff. I've already sent you the information."
"Go ahead and take a look. I've marked the coordinates of that wormhole very clearly."
"Hmm, very good, Buluo. As expected of an elite member of the Nuolanshan Family. The information you provided is extremely important. Do not act rashly for now; wait for reinforcements from the family to arrive."
"Yes, Chieftain."
After hanging up the call, a ruthless glint flashed in Buluo Nuolanshan's eyes.
"Damn Earth natives, they actually have such vicious weapons! But thinking they can protect Earth's treasures with these is just wishful thinking!"
On the Binglan Star, in a luxurious palace.
A thin man with pointed ears and a bald head looked at the information sent by Buluo Nuolanshan, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.
"That's right, that triangular silver mountain is a spaceship of the Machine Race. Although we can't determine its exact level, it should be at least D-class. D-class Machine Race spaceship is a considerable fortune; it could buy countless planets."
"This monster is... the Golden Horned Beast? How is that possible? How could Golden Horned Beast appear on an indigenous planet? Damn it, it was actually killed. These natives deserve to die."
--
The bald man slammed his hand on the table in front of him, leaving a deep handprint on the alloy surface.
Golden Horned Beast!
If the Golden Horned Beast were alive, its value would be immeasurable.
The bald man didn't know the exact value; he had only heard a big shot mention it at a high-class banquet.
But one thing is certain: its value is extremely high, at least higher than that of the Machine Race's spaceship.
"Although the Golden Horned Beast is dead, its corpse should still be valuable. Those natives have no idea what that means."
The planet once inhabited by Immortal God indeed has many wonderful things.
"This is----"
Upon seeing the last photo Buluo sent, the bald man's pupils contracted, and a look of horror flashed across his face.
How could such a thing exist on Earth?
If this thing were to awaken, the entire Milky Way Galaxy —no—the entire Maple Leaf Empire— would be destroyed!
"This Earth is terrifying. If this thing awakens, even if I were to encounter it, I would surely die."
The bald man let out a breath, barely managing to calm himself down.
However, since Buluo, Star Level being, could leave unscathed, this thing was clearly not dangerous for the time being, and he could send a Universe Level disciple to it.
If Universe Level wants to take something from Earth, the natives simply cannot stop it.
Even so, he didn't intend to kill the natives.
The strict laws prohibiting the slave trade have been etched in everyone's memory over the years. If the massacre of natives were discovered, the Nuolanshan Family simply could not afford the consequences.
The natives cannot move; they will die if they do.
This is a lesson learned through the blood of countless people over tens of thousands of years.
In contrast, stealing the wealth of native planets, while also illegal, usually only requires dealing with the individuals involved, without implicating their families. This is why he admired Buluo and his group's actions.
Soon, a C9-class spaceship took off from Binglan Star.
A powerful being from the Nuolanshan Family, at Universe Level, headed towards the wormhole coordinates sent by Buluo.
To reach the location of the wormhole, one only needs to pass through the wormhole and then travel for two years and eight months to reach Earth.
A Universe Level powerhouse could completely loot all the treasures on Earth without anyone noticing, except for that terrifying thing.
