From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 498 A Monster! A Terrifying Talent
"Buzz!"

The light coalesced into a human figure, which appeared in the hall that had been silent for tens of thousands of years, and blocked the detection device.

This is a phantom image of a child, about 1.45 meters tall, wearing a black robe, with two sharp horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes, looking both playful and somewhat sinister.

It was looking at Li Chengqian outside the passage with a curious, scrutinizing, and extremely surprised gaze, as if it could penetrate the detection device and see him directly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, after waiting for fifty thousand years, someone has finally found this place." The little boy's illusory figure, Babata, floated around the detection device, his blood-red eyes flashing with excitement. "Using such a little toy to scout ahead, quite cautious, kid. However, caution alone is not enough to qualify you as the successor of my Meteorite Star. Come in, if you want to become the successor of Meteorite Star, such timidity won't do."

Its sound traveled through the long corridor and reached Li Chengqian's ears.

Li Chengqian remained outwardly calm, instead responding with a simulated signal via his detection device: "New ruins, interesting. Who are you? Where is this place?"

"Me? I am an intelligent life form of this spaceship. You can call me Lord Babata!" The little boy's illusory figure said with his hands on his hips, somewhat arrogantly. "This is the Meteorite Starship. My master, Huyan Bo, is a powerful immortal god! Kid, you're lucky to have found this place, and you're also somewhat capable. However, obtaining my master's inheritance won't be so easy!"

Babata appeared somewhat arrogant, but inwardly it was incredibly excited; it had been waiting for a suitable successor for far too long. As it spoke, it activated the built-in detection system of the Meteorite Star, and an invisible ripple instantly swept across Li Chengqian outside the passage.

"Come, come, let Lord Babata take a look at your aptitude first. If your brain capacity is too low, even if you can find this place, it will only be considered that you have failed..." Babata stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Its blood-red eyes widened instantly, its virtual body flickered due to the violent fluctuations in the data stream, and its arrogant expression was completely replaced by disbelief and shock!

Monster!

"This...how is this possible?!" Babata's voice suddenly rose, so sharp it almost pierced Li Chengqian's eardrums. "A brain capacity of 92?! What kind of cosmic joke is this! How could a human on Earth possibly have a brain capacity of this level?! Even those powerful bloodlines in the universe, at the apprentice level, a brain capacity of 30 or 40 would be considered genius! 92?! Are you even human?!"

Babata couldn't help but be shocked. In the original novel, Luo Feng's brain span of 21 was already considered by Babata to be a peerless genius on Earth. The value of 92 exceeded its understanding of normal human life, and even many human races in the universe. This meant that Li Chengqian's talent as a mentalist was ridiculously high, and his learning, comprehension, and deduction abilities would be monstrous.

Li Chengqian was not surprised by this result. His soul essence was special, and with the fusion and optimization of the "Wedge" and the continuous tempering by the "Perpetual Cosmic Moon," the development of his brain was inevitable.

He simply replied calmly, "So, my brain area width is up to standard??"

"Qualified...qualified? Qualified is an understatement!" Babata was so excited he was almost incoherent, his virtual figure spinning rapidly around the non-existent center. "Your talent...monster! Absolutely monster! My Meteorite Star's rise is in sight! Wait...no, that's not right!"

Babata suddenly stopped again, its blood-red eyes flashing with even more refined scanning light. It used a higher-level detection program to begin a deep analysis of Li Chengqian's body gene sequence.

“Your genes… are so strange! Such a complex structure! Such powerful underlying code! This… this is definitely not the genetic sequence of any human being on Earth, or even any human race I know of!” Babata’s voice was filled with the ecstasy and bewilderment of discovering a new continent. “Full of unknown potential… this structure… my god! According to the genetic module, if you can successfully grow into an adult… your life level will naturally reach… the Realm Lord level?! Or even higher?! How is this possible?! A born Realm Lord?!”

Babata felt as if all the common sense he had accumulated over five million years had been overturned. A Realm Lord level! A realm coveted by countless stellar and cosmic-level powerhouses, requiring endless years and resources to break through, and this kid before him, simply through his genes and bloodline, had naturally reached it upon reaching adulthood? What kind of heaven-defying bloodline was this?!

It originally thought that finding a genius with an extremely high brain capacity would be a huge win, but it didn't expect that it would get a buy-one-get-one-free deal, which also came with a genetic lineage with terrifying potential that it couldn't understand!
"Hahaha! We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!" Babata excitedly somersaulted in the air. "Master! Did you see that? What a successor I've found! Not only is he an unparalleled genius in mental cultivation, but he also possesses genes that seem to belong to an unknown peak bloodline! Our Meteorite Star's heritage will surely be carried forward and even surpass the peak in his hands!"

After a while of excitement, Babata managed to calm down, but the way it looked at Li Chengqian had completely changed, as if it were looking at a rare treasure. It coughed lightly, trying to put on a serious expression, although it couldn't stop the grin from coming out.

"Ahem... Li Chengqian, right?" Babata had already read Li Chengqian's basic information. "Although your talent... well, it's barely acceptable, if you want to obtain the inheritance of the great Master Huyanbo, you must agree to a few conditions!"

The process is here.

Li Chengqian chuckled inwardly, but said earnestly, "Lord Babata, please speak."

"First!" Babata held up one finger. "You must become my master, Huyanbo, as his disciple and become the core successor of Meteorite Star!"

"Secondly, when you have the chance, you must avenge Master Huyanbo!"

"Third, we must ensure the continuation of the Meteorite Star lineage, allowing it to rise again and become renowned throughout the universe!"

This is essentially the same as the requirements for Luo Feng in the original work.

Li Chengqian thought for a moment and nodded, "Of course, now that I've inherited his mantle, I'm naturally his disciple. As for revenge, that's for sure!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Babata exclaimed three times, extremely excited. "Keep the ceremony simple. Now, perform the apprenticeship ceremony to the mark left by your master!"

As he spoke, a blurry phantom materialized in the main control room ahead of the passage. It was a tall man in a black robe, his eyes seemingly containing the endless stars of the universe, exuding an aura of majesty that inspired worship. This was naturally the image left behind by Huyan Bo.

Li Chengqian, with a solemn expression, entered the passage and respectfully bowed three times to the illusory figure.

Babata didn't seem to have any complaints about this.

As an extraterrestrial intelligent program, it had little knowledge of Earth's etiquette.

"Haha, from now on, you are the personal disciple of the Meteorite Star Lord! And the only successor of our Meteorite Star lineage!" Babata flew over, patted Li Chengqian's shoulder (though he couldn't reach him), and said excitedly, "Come on, I'll take you to receive the master's core inheritance, as well as the treasures he left for you!"

With a wave of his hand, Babata silently slid open the wall of the passageway beside him, revealing an even larger spaceship space and a series of treasure rooms behind it.

Li Chengqian was also a little excited.

The legacy of immortal gods, especially the knowledge of soul cultivation, secret techniques, and spatial perception, is exactly what he urgently needs. This will pave the way for him to become a powerful being in the universe, allowing him to better understand the underlying rules of this universe and perfectly integrate his own power into them.

His cosmic journey, and even his path to becoming a world master, finally laid its most solid foundation at this moment. And the Meteorite Star, this spaceship that had been silent for 50,000 years, finally welcomed its new master, an inheritor who possessed unknown potential that even intelligent life found astonishing.
