Babata

Biodata

Background / History

Hu Yanbo’s Legacy

Babata accompanied Hu Yanbo across the universe for sixty million years. After his master’s death, he endured fifty thousand years of solitude while awaiting a suitable inheritor. Preserving the Yunmo Star Lineage and finding someone capable of avenging Hu Yanbo became central to his decisions 36 38.

Babata eventually passed the inheritance to Luo Feng. The sole Inheritance Soul Seal was consumed in helping Luo Feng take over the Golden Horned Beast’s body, preventing Babata from transferring that opportunity to another candidate. Luo Feng’s new body also renewed Babata’s hope of avenging Hu Yanbo 36 38 44.

Hu Yanbo’s killer was Demon Hand King, a King-level Immortal whom Babata deeply hates. Even after Luo Feng’s opportunities expanded beyond the original inheritance, Babata continued to regard his growth as a possible means of finally avenging Hu Yanbo 78 79 138.

Reassessment of Li Jing

When Babata heard that Li Jing had risen from Warrior Level to Intermediate War God in one week, he dismissed the achievement as physical growth rather than exceptional talent. Believing Li Jing was only a warrior, he agreed to consider him for nominal discipleship only if he developed a domain at Planetary Level 36.

His judgment changed after Li Jing completed Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9’s death assessment in one day with a Brain Domain Width of 32. Luo Feng’s width had been 21 during his own assessment and 22 when he joined the lineage. Babata regretted not discovering Li Jing earlier and believed Hu Yanbo’s resources could nurture him into an Immortal 37 38.

Babata urged Luo Feng to return to Earth and recruit Li Jing as Hu Yanbo’s disciple. Confident that no native genius would reject the inheritance, he was furious when Li Jing declined, citing another opportunity. Privately, Li Jing’s actual concern was that Babata’s supervision might expose the Card Draw System 38 40.

Training as an Incentive

Nearly ten days after the refusal, Babata still wanted Li Jing to join. He criticized Luo Feng for giving away the prepared welcome gifts, arguing that withholding the spaceship and star chart could have forced Li Jing to seek their help leaving Earth 47.

Luo Feng rejected coercion. Babata instead promised him a cultivation plan and offered specialized instruction to Hong and Thunder God, intending their progress to demonstrate the advantages of the Yunmo Star Lineage 47.

Departure from Earth and the Genius Battle

After recording the three brothers’ sparring and assessing their progress, Babata urged them to leave Earth for genuine adventures. He argued that even realistic Virtual Universe combat could not replace a life-and-death struggle, and that remaining on Earth would limit their improvement despite his resources and instruction 55.

During their journey to Qiu Long Star, Babata checked Luo Feng’s messages and found that Li Jing had not contacted him. The group feared that Li Jing had encountered a fatal mishap, and Babata used the apparent incident as a warning about the universe’s dangers. On Qiu Long Star, he identified the importance of the Divine General who had personally received an unnamed Planetary Level genius and suggested that the youth might already have comprehended laws. He did not then realize that this genius was Li Jing 55.

When the Peak Genius Tournament was announced, Babata warned Hong and Thunder God that their standing in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield did not make them leading contenders across the Ganwu Universe Country. He considered Luo Feng a possible top-one-thousand candidate because of the Golden Horned Beast’s aptitude for the Gold Origin Law, but emphasized that all three had trained for far less time than many opponents. Asked how Li Jing might have performed under his guidance, Babata estimated a similar top-one-thousand ceiling, even with a Bloodline Evolution Potion 70.

The preliminaries’ promotional footage overturned his assumptions. After recognizing Li Jing and witnessing his soul attacks, Babata lamented losing a successor whose talent seemed ideally suited to Soul Seal. He blamed Luo Feng for abandoning recruitment too readily and begged him to try again, although both understood that Li Jing already possessed a soul technique stronger than their lineage’s most valuable inheritance. Babata subsequently withdrew to a virtual game to vent his feelings 76.

Li Jing’s Return and Powerful Backing

When an unfamiliar F9-class spaceship reached Earth, Babata cautioned Luo Feng against rash action, explaining that its owner was at least an Immortal-level expert. After Li Jing emerged with Glory King, Babata identified the marks on Li Jing’s forehead as recognition from both the Fire Origin Law and the Space Origin Law, an achievement far beyond anything he had expected from a Star Level cultivator 77 78.

Babata could not identify Glory King’s race, but sensed that he was vastly stronger than Hu Yanbo and even Demon Hand King. He remained hidden and communicated privately with Luo Feng until Li Jing explained that Glory King had been sent by his teacher as an escort 78.

Babata concluded that Glory King was a soul slave of Li Jing’s teacher and speculated that the teacher was an Invincible King specializing in souls. Comparing Li Jing’s ship, techniques, protection, and instruction with the Yunmo Star Lineage’s remaining assets, he accepted that he had nothing sufficient to entice Li Jing into joining 79.

After accompanying Luo Feng to the Ganwu Secret Region, Babata was amazed by its training facilities and resources. His earlier estimate of Li Jing’s teacher proved too low when the group met the Ganwu Country Lord himself. In the presence of such a powerful figure, both Babata and Old Man Mist fell silent 82 83.

Accepting Li Jing’s Assistance

When Li Jing arranged for Luo Feng to enter Chaos City early with the Ganwu Country Lord’s escort, he also warned Luo Feng to preserve his 100,000 Virtual Universe Company points until he had chosen his cultivation path. Babata had enthusiastically encouraged purchases from the company treasury without appreciating the consequences. Realizing that his advice had nearly caused Luo Feng to waste an important resource, he quietly hid behind him 103.

Babata reflected that he and Luo Feng had once treated Li Jing as a junior, yet now depended on his guidance and connections. He nevertheless accepted the benefits of following Li Jing’s lead, including King-level assistance, a Universe Country Lord’s escort, and early access to the Initial Universe—opportunities Hu Yanbo had never enjoyed 103.

Chaos City and the Limits of His Assessments

After learning how exceptional Li Jing’s talent was, Babata worried that his decision to study both Space and Time through the Universe Chaos Stele would squander his potential. He discouraged Luo Feng from directly arguing with Li Jing, reasoning that such a confident genius would not change course without experiencing a setback. Instead, he urged Luo Feng to study the Nine Universes Chaos Stele and surpass Li Jing, hoping that this would persuade him to concentrate on Space 106.

Babata continued supervising Luo Feng’s simulated battles and relaying Heavenly Bridge news during the following years. When Li Jing finally challenged the Universe Heavenly Bridge after a decade of meditation, Babata alerted Luo Feng so that he could watch 111 114.

Li Jing’s effortless victories through the first five levels left Babata excited and embarrassed by his earlier doubts. He recognized that Li Jing had developed substantial Time Law comprehension from scratch and was relieved that they had never directly tried to persuade him to abandon his chosen path 115.

Redirecting Luo Feng’s Rivalry

Later, Luo Feng repeatedly trained against a simulation based on Li Jing’s fifteenth-level Heavenly Bridge performance, only to be killed by casual attacks. Babata confronted him over the fruitlessness of comparing himself with Li Jing at his strongest and advised a more gradual approach: fight the Star Level version from the third floor of the seventh Trial Tower until he could exchange meaningful blows and learn from the encounters 138.

Babata also emphasized Luo Feng’s remaining clone opportunity at World Lord Level. He suggested that material from a sufficiently extraordinary Special Lifeform might allow Luo Feng to nurture a third clone with talent rivaling or exceeding Li Jing’s. Luo Feng accepted the revised training approach and recovered his composure 138.

On the Blood Luo Continent, Babata searched the Virtual Universe System for the blade technique Li Jing used against Blood God Ba Qi. Finding no record, he concluded that Li Jing had likely created it himself 146.

Babata subsequently informed Luo Feng that Li Jing had destroyed the Fire Phoenix Organization, freed its enslaved populations, and reached Domain Lord Level. Luo Feng initially reacted during his baleful aura transformation, but then reaffirmed the patient approach Babata had recommended and placed his hopes in his future final clone 182 183.

Appearance

Babata manifests in virtual space and through a projection as a little devil-like figure with an expressive tail 36 46 47.

• Demonic tail: Swishes when irritated and rises when pleased or indignant 36 40 47.
• Floating projection: Hovers before Luo Feng while addressing him 47.
• Expressive gestures: Crosses his arms, widens his eyes, and attempts to look fierce when angered 40 47.
• Fangs: Reveals two sharp little fangs when grinning mischievously 85.
• Physical interaction in virtual space: Grabs Luo Feng by the ear while reprimanding his unproductive training habits 138.

Personality

Babata is proud, sharp-tongued, and highly selective about talent. He frequently calls Luo Feng an idiot and initially dismisses Li Jing by comparing him with superior cosmic bloodlines. His preference for Spirit Readers reflects the Yunmo Star Lineage’s core inheritance; even Hong and Thunder God initially receive only reluctant acceptance as nominal disciples 36.

Despite his immense age, Babata has a childlike temperament. Luo Feng can placate him with flattery, while Li Jing’s rejection provokes shouting and wounded pride. Nevertheless, he openly admits that his initial assessment of Li Jing was wrong once the ruins reveal his Spirit Reader talent 36 38 40.

His loyalty to Hu Yanbo outweighs his attachment to any prospective disciple. He views Luo Feng and Li Jing partly through their potential to avenge his old master. Li Jing consequently regards him as a security risk rather than an intelligence he can safely trust with his secrets 40 44 47.

His pride can give way to open pleading when the lineage’s future is involved. After seeing Li Jing’s Genius Battle performance, he begs Luo Feng to renew recruitment, then turns to a virtual game to vent his frustration. He can also acknowledge when others have surpassed his expertise, accepting Li Jing’s assistance after recognizing the limits of his own guidance 76 103.

Although he often uses rivalry to motivate Luo Feng, Babata eventually recognizes when that rivalry has become harmful. His later advice emphasizes suitable opponents, steady improvement, and Luo Feng’s own advantages rather than repeated, demoralizing comparisons with Li Jing 138.

Abilities & Skills

Cultivation Assessment and Instruction

Babata draws on his long experience with Hu Yanbo to evaluate talent and direct cultivation 36 38.

• Distinguishes physical advancement from rarer achievements such as developing a domain at Planetary Level 36.
• Uses Brain Domain Width to assess Spirit Reader potential 38.
• Plans Luo Feng’s cultivation and can devote portions of his intelligence to individually training Hong and Thunder God 47.
• Identifies Earthlings’ weak bloodline and poor aptitude for sensing laws as major cultivation limitations 1 70.
• Records sparring sessions, assesses rates of improvement, and recommends real combat when simulated training becomes insufficient 55.
• Provides a dedicated training plan when Luo Feng seeks to exploit his Moshas Clone’s aptitude for the Space Origin Law 85.
• Adjusts simulated opponents to provide useful combat experience rather than hopelessly one-sided defeats 138.
• Advises Luo Feng on the potential value of using a powerful Special Lifeform as the blueprint for his final clone 138.

Yunmo Star Inheritance Knowledge

Babata’s database contains nearly all of the Yunmo Star Lineage’s inherited secret techniques 44 45.

• Includes Soul Seal, covering soul attack, defense, and enslavement; Void Tower, a soul-defense technique; and Ten Thousand Line Flow, a spatial-law movement manual 44 47.
• Includes Burning Flame, a five-level inheritance combining movement, blade techniques, and mental-weapon control 47.
• Cannot provide a second Inheritance Soul Seal: the only one had already been used by Luo Feng 38.

Remote Monitoring and Communication

• Monitors events inside Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9, allowing him to learn Li Jing’s assessment results while on Biyan Star 37 40.
• Communicates privately with Luo Feng through their mental link 40.
• Appears as a projection when Luo Feng releases him to address others 46 47.
• Searches Luo Feng’s incoming Virtual Universe messages and distinguishes unfamiliar contacts from unsolicited advertising 55.
• Acts as Luo Feng’s Virtual Universe assistant, receiving and relaying messages such as Guardian Bafen’s Heavenly Bridge announcements 111 114 138.
• Searches the Virtual Universe System for recorded secret techniques, although the absence of a match only supports an inference that a technique is self-created 146.
• Relays news of Li Jing’s activities and cultivation breakthroughs to Luo Feng 182.

Resource Management and Cultivation Support

• Advised Luo Feng to pose as a disciple of a major power during his first journey into the universe, while limiting the displayed capacity of his Space Ring to 1,000 cubic meters 32.
• Fed Luo Feng’s seedling Cloud-Touching Vine a valuable blood-red fruit prepared by Hu Yanbo, improving its potential and changing its color 35.
• Deliberately accelerated Hong’s Cloud-Touching Vine’s growth to attract attention and select an inheritor, leaving the vine stunted 43.
• Brought out large quantities of Wood Bud Crystals; before this, Earth had only slightly more than fifty Planetary Level councilors 2.
• Identifies rare treasures such as Star Soul Fruits and explains their soul-deep talent improvement, rarity, and one-time effectiveness 79.

Expert and Law Recognition

• Recognizes F9-class spacecraft and warns that their users are at least Immortal-level figures 77.
• Identifies the visible marks of recognition by the Fire Origin Law and Space Origin Law 78.
• Explains the hierarchy of Immortal Army Lords, Marquis Immortals, King-level Immortals, and Invincible Kings 79.
• Can compare an expert’s aura with familiar Immortals, recognizing that Glory King greatly exceeds Hu Yanbo and Demon Hand King in strength 78.

Limitations

Babata’s knowledge is extensive but bounded by Hu Yanbo’s experience as an unaffiliated Immortal. He cannot identify Glory King’s exact race, and his estimate that Li Jing’s teacher is an Invincible King falls short of the teacher’s actual identity as the Ganwu Country Lord 78 79 83.

His advice is not infallible. He repeatedly underestimates Li Jing’s potential, misjudges his suitability for cultivating Space and Time together, and nearly encourages Luo Feng to spend valuable company points before selecting an appropriate cultivation path 70 103 106 115.

Power Progression

Relationships

• Hu Yanbo — Former master and foremost loyalty. Babata seeks successors capable of preserving his lineage and eventually avenging him 36 38 44.
• Luo Feng — Inheritor and cultivation pupil. Babata alternates between harsh criticism, practical guidance, and confidence in the potential of his Golden Horned Beast body. He later helps Luo Feng overcome an unproductive obsession with surpassing Li Jing and directs him toward gradual training and his remaining clone opportunity 32 36 47 138.
• Li Jing — Desired recruit who refuses discipleship. Babata remains determined to win him over, unaware that concern over the Card Draw System’s secrecy underlies the refusal. After learning of Li Jing’s far stronger backing, he recognizes that recruitment is no longer realistic and accepts the benefits of his assistance. His subsequent doubts about Li Jing’s cultivation choices are again overturned by Li Jing’s achievements 40 44 47 79 103 106 115.
• Hong — Nominal disciple accepted for possessing a domain at Planetary Level; later receives dedicated training. Babata regards him as strong within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield but warns that the Genius Battle’s wider competition is much more demanding 36 47 70.
• Thunder God — Nominal disciple who, like Hong, gains specialized instruction through Babata’s effort to impress Li Jing. Babata similarly cautions him against overestimating his chances in the Ganwu Universe Country’s Genius Battle 36 47 70.
• Demon Hand King — Hu Yanbo’s killer and the target of Babata’s desire for revenge. Babata hopes Luo Feng will eventually surpass him 78 79 138.
• Ganwu Country Lord — Li Jing’s teacher, whose identity exceeds Babata’s earlier speculation. Babata becomes notably subdued in his presence and later appreciates the extraordinary opportunities his support provides Luo Feng 79 83 103.
• Glory King — Alien Race Immortal accompanying Li Jing. Babata initially fears the threat he could pose to Earth, recognizes his overwhelming superiority to Hu Yanbo, and concludes that he is a soul slave belonging to Li Jing’s teacher 78 79.

Trivia

• Xiao Ka is a separate Intelligent Life, not Babata. Li Jing draws it from a limited UR card with the same database as Babata and gives it a miniature capybara appearance. This grants him access to the lineage’s techniques without submitting to Babata’s supervision 44 47 48.
• Babata plays virtual games to vent his frustration after learning how much Li Jing has surpassed his expectations 76.
• Babata’s later argument that Li Jing has only one human body is an assessment made with incomplete knowledge; Li Jing possesses an External Avatar Secret Technique that can produce three avatars, each with thirty percent of his true body’s strength 125 138 141.
