Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 100 Let's take care of ten small goals first.

The crystal coffin is six meters long, four meters wide, and two meters high.

It was almost the size of a small room, rather than a coffin.

Looking inside, one could see a corpse lying in the crystal coffin.

The corpse was about three meters tall and looked almost identical to a human on Earth, except that it had two flexible antennae on its forehead.

He was wearing a long black robe, from which shimmered light, and his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders. At first glance, Jiang Lan even thought he was just asleep.

The corpse was also incredibly handsome; although its long, narrow eyes were closed, one could imagine how beautiful it would be when they opened.

Jiang Lan blinked.

This damn charm.

Why is he so good-looking when he's clearly a man?

Upon seeing the corpse, Babata could no longer control himself and collapsed onto the crystal coffin. His small face scrunched up, and two tears fell from his eyes, hitting the ground with a soft 'plop'.

Jiang Lan looked at Babata with a sense of curiosity.

Babata himself just said that he exists in a virtual form, yet he can still shed physical tears.

After crying for a long time while lying on the crystal coffin, Babata finally calmed down a bit, climbed up from the crystal coffin, and looked at Jiang Lan.

"Jiang Lan, I ask you, are you willing to become my master Huyan Bo's disciple?"

"I do."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan answered directly.

This was agreed upon from the beginning, and he would never change his mind at this point.

Upon hearing this, Babata's eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Although Jiang Lan had already agreed, he was still very happy to hear it again.

"Believe me, in the near future, you will be glad you made your choice. My master, Huyan Bo, is an eternal being. From birth to death, he has lived for over six thousand epochs, traversing the universe. He is a true peerless powerhouse!"

Jiang Lan blinked.

Immortality truly makes one a powerful being.

In miniature universes, immortality is practically godlike.

Even in a medium-sized cosmic kingdom, Hu Yanbo, as an immortal, could walk sideways with impunity.

However, once they reached the advanced universe nation, the power of immortality became somewhat insufficient.

Of course, that's all for the future. Advanced universe nations are something Jiang Lan simply cannot access at this stage.

Seeing that Jiang Lan didn't respond, Babata continued on his own:

"Six thousand epochs. Each epoch is equivalent to 10081 years on Earth. In other words, my master has traversed the universe for over sixty million years!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lan was also somewhat surprised.

More than 60 million years, what does that mean?

Jiang Lan's two lifetimes combined amount to only about twenty years.

So Jiang Lan found it hard to imagine exactly how long 60 million years was.

"So long..."

Jiang Lan sighed.

"Sixty million years is a long time?" Babata was inexplicably angry. "Master is an immortal being! An eternal being! If it weren't for that battle fifty thousand years ago, Master could have lived forever! In this universe, there are many who have lived for over a hundred million years, and some immortal beings like Master have even lived longer than the Earth itself!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

A moment later, he suddenly clenched his fists, and his eyes became resolute.

If before, he only wanted to get stronger by relying on the system, but didn't have a specific goal...

Now, we have a goal!

First, live to achieve ten small goals!

Jiang Lan believed that no human being could resist the temptation of immortality.

While there are some arguments on Earth that immortality would be painful, those who say such things have certainly never achieved immortality.

If one can live, who would want to turn into a handful of dust a hundred years later?

Not only must he not die, but he must also make Yao Rao live with him!

At this moment, Jiang Lan's determination to become stronger became even stronger.

Babata shook his head and continued:

"Alright, you're just an Earthling after all. You don't understand the universe at all; your knowledge is too limited. How about this, I'll give you a little science lesson today, so you can understand the vastness of the universe!"

"you say."

Jiang Lan's expression became more serious.

Seeing Jiang Lan's attitude, Babata nodded in satisfaction and said:

"According to your Earthly terminology, the galaxy we're currently in is called the Milky Way. But do you know how many galaxies there are in this vast universe? And how large a space does the Milky Way occupy among them?"

Jiang Lan shook his head; this involved areas where his knowledge was lacking.

"Fine, I'll just tell you directly. Your Milky Way galaxy contains over 200 billion stars, and countless planets. However, of these planets, only 210,000 harbor life."

"The Milky Way, the Beta Galaxy, and eight other adjacent galaxies together form the Silver-Blue Empire. This Silver-Blue Empire is a primary cosmic nation."

Jiang Lan's eyes flickered.

Compared to the entire universe, Earth's current technology is pitifully weak.

Of all the planets in the Milky Way that humans inhabit, not a single one has been discovered on Earth.

"Within a star system, one cosmic powerhouse can typically be born. Even a nation like the Silver Blue Empire, which governs eight star systems, might only have around ten cosmic powerhouses at most. And you should know that cosmic-level beings are no different from ants in front of my master. If my master so desires, he can annihilate an entire nascent cosmic kingdom with a flick of his finger!"

Babata continued:

"However, above the primary universe kingdoms, there are intermediate universe kingdoms. According to the universe map, the Silver Blue Empire is part of the 'Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.' Within this star region, there are more than 8,000 star systems, and there are more than 500 vassal states like the Silver Blue Empire."

"As for advanced spacefaring nations... let me first give you a basic understanding. A star field contains roughly one to two thousand star systems. This number is not fixed; there are also super-large or very small star fields. For example, the Black Dragon Mountain Star Field that I just mentioned has more than eight thousand star systems."

"Above the star field are the star sector, the largest unit in the universe! On average, one star sector is equivalent to 10,000 star fields and 100 million star systems. Like star fields, star sectors also vary in size, but even the smallest star sector is beyond your imagination."

"Your Earth's exact location in the universe is the 'Qianwu Great Star Region, Heilongshan Star Field, Milky Way Galaxy.' The Qianwu Great Star Region is ruled by the advanced cosmic nation, the 'Qianwu Cosmic Nation,' which administers 13,000 star fields and governs nearly a thousand medium-sized cosmic nations!"

Jiang Lan took a deep breath.

Although Babata didn't say it, he knew that there were more than ten thousand kingdoms like the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in this universe!
