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

Chapter 105 Going Home

"This is?"

Seeing the situation before him, Jiang Lan's expression was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"This is a Blood Cherry Fruit, a treasure your teacher specially prepared for cultivating the Cloud-Piercing Vine. The initial cultivation of this Cloud-Piercing Vine is extremely important, as it affects its future growth. Don't underestimate this small fruit; in reality, the value of this Blood Cherry Fruit is even higher than the fragment of the Crimson Copper Mother you obtained before."

Babata's voice echoed in Jiang Lan's mind.

Just as Jiang Lan was about to respond to Babata, she noticed that the young Moyun Vine in front of her had turned from its original emerald green to dark red, and there were faint blood-red threads running along the vine.

Babata's voice continued.

"Alright, you can put the Cloud Vine away now. It needs some time to digest after consuming the Blood Cherry Fruit."

Having gone through the recognition process just now, Jiang Lan and Mo Yun Teng are now of one mind.

From Mo Yun Teng's consciousness, he could still feel a very strong sense of dependence, just like a son's dependence on his father.

With a thought, Jiang Lan sent the dark red Moyun Vine into his skin.

After the Moyun Vine disappeared, Jiang Lan's consciousness connected with Babata, and he asked again:

"Is there anything else useful on this island?"

After making this trip, even though I've already gained quite a bit, who would complain about having acquired so many treasures?

Jiang Lan's consciousness was clear enough to "see" Babata on the huge throne in the palace roll his eyes.

"Where would you find so many good things? The most valuable thing left is the Meteorite Star spaceship, but it's beyond repair. You wouldn't be able to use it even if I gave it to you."

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed when Babata mentioned the spaceship.

He did know where there were spaceships that could be driven away, but he couldn't explain it directly to Babata.

After thinking for a brief two seconds, he spoke:

"Didn't you say that only the Silver Blue Empire couldn't repair the spaceship? Does that mean the Black Dragon Mountain Empire can't either?"

Babata sat on the throne and smirked.

"It's possible, but we don't even have a spaceship right now. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire governs the closest planet to Earth... Let me take a look later."

Babata paused for a moment before continuing:

"The nearest planet is called Qilong Star, which is 32 light-years away from Earth. Your current maximum speed is 1326 meters per second. At that speed, even if you fly until you die, you will never reach it. Unless..."

Seeing that Babata had taken the bait, Jiang Lan asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless you can collect enough spaceship parts on Earth, repairing the Meteorite Star is unlikely as long as the parts are complete. However, I, Babata, can still build a spaceship by hand."

As he said this, Babata's tone carried a hint of pride.

Then, Babata continued:

"However, there's no rush regarding the spaceship. Your current strength is still a bit weak. Let's talk about it after you've cultivated to the Hengxing level and gained some self-defense capabilities."

Not urgent?

Jiang Lan glared at him.

How could I not be in a hurry?

His most pressing concern right now is to get to space as soon as possible.

Otherwise, could it really be as Babata arranged, that we can slowly rise to become a star by absorbing the energy inside the Muya Crystal?

When should we go?

According to Babata, fifteen years?

Fifteen years later, it will be too late, and the Earth will have been destroyed. What use will he be on another planet?

But he couldn't say this to Babatamin, so he remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"Are the planets okay? After hearing what you just said about the universe, I'm really curious now and want to go out and see it as soon as possible."

Babata thought for a moment and replied:

"Alright, as long as you don't provoke anyone, you probably won't run into any trouble. So let's do this: you collect as much debris as possible within Earth's sphere of influence, and once you've gathered enough, I'll build a spaceship. In the meantime, you should focus on your training, and by then you should be able to protect yourself to a certain extent."

Become!

With Babata's words, things are basically settled. All that's left is to find a suitable opportunity to go to the underwater ruins and retrieve the spaceship.

"Okay," Jiang Lan agreed. "There's not much left on this island, shall we leave?"

"Wait... I suddenly remembered, don't you have a wife?"

"Huh?" Jiang Lan didn't expect Babata to suddenly bring this up, but he still nodded slightly and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lan wasn't surprised that Babata knew he and Yaorao were married.

After all, for Babata, Earth's network system is like his own backyard; getting any information he wants is a piece of cake.

Moreover, his wedding with Yao Rao was such a grand affair, and it was broadcast live globally, so it wouldn't be difficult for Babata to find out.

"If possible, it's best not to mention to others that you've obtained the inheritance of Meteorite Star. However, you definitely can't hide it from your wife, so telling her is fine. But for now, don't tell anyone else besides your wife."

Jiang Lan's eyes flickered.

He could understand Babata's thoughts.

It's simply because they feel he doesn't have the ability to protect himself yet. In the end, it's still the same old story of "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

The legacy of Meteorite Star is left behind by an immortal powerhouse; even a realm lord would go crazy for it.

Therefore, the fewer people who know about it, the less danger there is.

……

It was late at night.

In Jiangnan Base City, at Jianglan Villa.

"This is your wife?" Babata's somewhat surprised voice echoed in Jiang Lan's mind.

"What? You haven't seen it online?" Jiang Lan asked with a half-smile, her consciousness connected to Babata.

"I only read some written information about you before." Babata paused. "Although I am an intelligent life form, according to the aesthetic standards of the human race in the universe, your wife is almost impeccable."

Jiang Lan grinned. "Do you even need to tell me?"

"Honey?"

Seeing that Jiang Lan didn't speak, was lost in thought, and occasionally laughed, Yao Rao was terrified.

Wasn't he supposed to be receiving the inheritance? What if something went wrong and he went crazy again?

Thinking of this, Yao Rao couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

Jiang Lan also came to her senses at this moment.

"What's wrong?"

"No... I just noticed you seemed a bit distracted earlier."

"Haha, no, I was just talking to Babata."

"Babata? Who's that?"

"It's a long story. As I mentioned before, there's a lineage on the Australian continent, and Babata is an intelligent life form within that lineage..."

Babata's consciousness resides within the crystal core of Jiang Lan's wristband. Unless someone specifically connects to the crystal core with their consciousness, Babata cannot hear external sounds.
