Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 111, Ruins No. 9

Shortly after, the elevator stopped.

Luo Xia and the others followed the old man out of the elevator, and then passed through nine checkpoints before arriving at a spacious hall.

This hall is filled with people from all over the world.

They were all focused on their work in front of their computers until Luo Xia and his group arrived, at which point they excitedly turned around to greet them.

"Phew! Welcome!"

"This dreary underground place is finally showing signs of change!"

"Welcome back! I'd love to have an underground champagne party with you all!"

Seeing the researchers' excitement, the old man in the red robe explained to Luo Xia and the others, "These guys have been underground for a long time and rarely see outsiders, so they're a bit excited... Now, gentlemen, are you ready?"

He said it once in both Chinese and English.

Everyone nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

The old man in red robes then shouted, "Very good, open the entrance passage!"

Click click click!

Directly in front of the hall, the curved alloy wall suddenly cracked open, revealing a circular passageway.

Inside the passage, there was a strange dark brown color, as if the passage had been formed by the tangled roots of dead trees.

Luo Xia couldn't help but ask Babata in his mind through the wristband, "Babata, are you sure this is an outpost on Meteorite Star? It doesn't seem like the style."

The scene they encountered underground on Kirishima Island was in a highly sci-fi style.

But now, this twisted and dark passage, are you sure it's not some scene depicting the descent of an ancient god?

Babata, inside the wristband, rolled her eyes dramatically. "This isn't the entrance yet! Further in... See that glowing spot? That's the entrance!"

At this moment, the old man in the red robe also said, "Keep walking along the passage and enter the glowing 'mirror,' which is actually not a mirror, but the entrance to the ruins."

"Huh?" Luo Xia looked towards the glowing spot in the passageway, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Then it's alright..."

Babata snorted.

Luo Feng smiled and stepped into the passage first.

Luo Xia followed behind, while Tuoba Yan and the other war gods followed behind Luo Xia.

As they stepped into the light mirror, it was as if the earth was spinning and the stars were shifting. When Luo Xia finally stood still, he found that he and his older brother Luo Feng had arrived in a dark hall.

Babata had now emerged from the wristband.

Because only Luo Feng and Luo Xia were in this hall.

Suddenly, a hazy, colorful light shone down from the sky, enveloping Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

Immediately afterwards, a rhythmic, piercing sound rang out.

"&*&*&*&*……"

Luo Feng was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Babata, asking, "What does this mean?"

Babata crossed his arms and didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Rorschach and asked, "Rorschach, can you tell what this means?"

"The meaning of the universal language 'alarm'..."

Luo Xia stroked his chin, puzzled, and said, "I'm a little confused, why did it suddenly sound an 'alarm'?"

"Hmph, Luo Feng, look at this, even Luo Xia can recognize it as the universal language, but you still can't. This time when we go back, your daily study time for the universal language will be increased by one hour!"

Babata did not answer Luo Xia's question, but instead spoke to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng smiled wryly, "Then what about the time I was on the phone with Xu Xin...?"

"Don't worry, I'll schedule the extra study time after you finish your phone call with Xu Xin," Babata said helplessly.

As soon as she finished speaking, crystal ropes, each as thick as a finger, suddenly appeared above the hall.

These ropes fell down and bound Luo Feng and Luo Xia.

The two brothers instinctively tried to dodge.

Babata suddenly waved his hand, and the crystal ropes immediately stopped and then slowly retreated.

She explained with a smile, "Okay, I'm now connected to the smart host here. Let's go straight to number 9."

As Luo Xia and Luo Feng followed Babata, they asked in confusion, "Number 9?"

Babata pointed forward, and the alloy wall in front of him suddenly cracked open, revealing a passage.

She flew in and said, "The intelligence of this outpost originally had its own code name, but its original code name was too long, so I renamed it directly using the number of this ruin."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng followed her, saying, "Oh, is that so?"

Luo Feng asked curiously, "So, there's another intelligent life form like you in these ruins?"

"Number 9 isn't exactly an intelligent life form," Babata explained as he led the way, "but it's far more powerful than any intelligent program on Earth! It's powerful enough to monitor all of Earth's oceans for you."

Under her guidance, Luo Xia and Luo Feng soon arrived at a hall filled with misty, colorful light!

"Lord Babata!"

As Rorschach and his companions entered the hall, the light began to coalesce, eventually transforming into a bald crystal figure. It gazed excitedly at Babata, its voice trembling.

"I never expected to see you again! May I ask about my master...?"

"Number 9, the master perished along with Meteorite Star."

Babata said with a sorrowful expression.

"Is that so, Master..." The bald crystal man fell silent for a moment.

Seeing the crystal creature's emotional expression, Luo Xia was surprised and whispered to his elder brother, "It has these emotions, yet it's not a true intelligent life form..."

Luo Feng nodded, looking at the bald crystal man and Babata who were both silent.

After a long while, Crystal Man turned to Luo Feng and Luo Xia, and respectfully asked Babata, "Lord Babata, are these two the disciples of Meteorite Star that you selected on Earth?"

Babata nodded, and at this point, her spirits finally lifted somewhat. She tilted her head slightly and said:

"That's right, Luo Feng and Luo Xia are the successors of Meteorite Star that I found for Master. They are Master's last two disciples!"

"I see." The crystal man looked enlightened, then asked, "Lord Babata, is there anything you need me to do for you, bringing these two lords with you this time?"

Babata pointed at Rorschach and said, "Rorschach wants to monitor all the oceans on Earth, so I need you to go out and help."

"I understand." The bald crystal man did not refuse.

It also has no right to refuse.

After Huyanbo's passing, Babata, or rather, Luo Feng and Luo Xia, who inherited Huyanbo's legacy, became the new masters of the Crystal People. The Crystal People had no choice but to accept their orders.

The next steps are simple. The most valuable thing in the entire outpost is the still-functioning central system host. As long as the host is taken out, the Crystal Man can leave the ruins with Rorschach and the others.

"However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's wait until all the warriors who entered the ruins have left before taking the main unit out."

Luo Feng suggested.

So, Luo Xia and Luo Feng stayed at the ruins for almost another month.

For the past month, Luo Xia and Luo Feng have been studying in Babata's virtual space.

Luo Xia has now fully mastered the Myriad Swords Soul Seal.

However, he did not rush to learn the Soul Seal of Enslavement. Instead, based on his previous inspiration, he began to try to develop the moves of the Myriad Swords Soul Seal.
