Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 128 Departure, Dragon Star!

Life on Earth is peaceful.

Nothing major happened in the world after Luo Feng and Xu Xin got married.

Under Babata's arrangement, both Luo Xia and Luo Feng cultivated step by step.

However, because the Wood Crystal is now being supplied to the Cave Heaven World to nurture the Golden Horned Beast's clones, Luo Xia's cultivation speed has slowed down.

As for Luo Feng, his strength will increase as long as he absorbs metal and enhances his inner world.

Furthermore, he also had a large amount of Xuan Iron and Xuan Iron Essence brought back from Mars by Luo Xia and Babata, which greatly increased his strength.

A year later, Luo Xia's strength had barely reached the second level of the Hengxing level.

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast's body has reached the third level of the Hengxing Star.

Earthlings have also reached the ninth level of the Spiritual Master realm and the sixth level of the Martial Artist realm.

Meanwhile, Luo Xia and Luo Feng were diligently training.

In the vast expanse of space, the silver-gray spaceship is steadily approaching Earth.

Inside the spaceship.

In a lounge, the handsome "Captain" sat in a chair with his eyes closed.

As you can see, the indicator light of the auxiliary optical computer on his wrist is faintly flashing.

This means that the captain's consciousness is no longer in reality, but has entered a "virtual universe network".

The Virtual Universe Network spans the entire universe. All life forms and races can enter the Virtual Universe Network anytime, anywhere, and meet and communicate with people separated by tens of millions or hundreds of millions of light-years.

Moreover, the virtual universe network is 100% realistic!

This means that anything you can do in the real universe can also be done in the virtual universe network!

Ding!

Suddenly, the indicator light on the captain's wrist light computer went dark.

He opened his eyes, which were filled with joy.

"Although it cost some money, we finally managed to buy a star map of this void region of the Milky Way from millions of years ago!"

The captain examined the newly purchased star map and asked the ship's AI, "Atuka," "Atuka, search this star system for me. How many resource-rich planets and life-bearing planets are there in this region?"

Atuka's virtual image appeared on her wrist, and she replied, "Captain! A scan reveals a total of sixty-one resource planets and two habitable planets in this star system!"

The captain's eyes lit up. "Two habitable planets? I've hit the jackpot!"

In the universe, a planet with life is extremely expensive.

If this life-bearing planet also has some special products and not-so-strong natives, they can be sold to slave traders and make a fortune!

The captain asked, "Atuka, calculate the time it will take for the spaceship to reach each of the two planets!"

The spaceship's AI, Atuka, replied directly: "Captain, at our current sub-light speed, it will take 136 years to reach Planet One, the first inhabited planet. However, traveling to Planet Two would only take 2 years and 8 months!"

Now we don't need to choose.

The captain immediately ordered, "Full speed ahead to the second inhabited planet! Hopefully, there are some good goods on it. If not, we'll just sell the entire planet!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The spaceship responded intelligently and then steered the ship toward what they called "Planet No. 2"—that is, Earth!

……

No one on Earth can know what is happening in the universe.

Rorschach knew that after the Golden Horned Beast crisis, Earth would face another wave of crisis—

A crisis from the universe.

However, he didn't remember the relevant plot of the original work very clearly.

He couldn't remember when the aliens would arrive.

So now, all he can do is urge Babata to repair the Black Dragon Mountain-X81 space adventure ship as soon as possible.

Once the spaceship is repaired, they can enter outer space. At that time, as long as they buy Earth first, Earth will be temporarily safe under the laws of the Silver Blue Empire and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Babata, when will you be able to repair that Black Dragon Mountain-X81?"

"Rorschach asked."

Babata's only reply was, "Soon, soon!"

Luo Xia was somewhat speechless. "A month ago, you had these two words, so how quickly can it be fixed?"

Babata glanced guiltily at Rorschach, then said, "At least two more months!"

The reason why Heilongshan-X81 was damaged in the first place.

She does bear some responsibility.

If she hadn't been so arrogant and underestimated the spaceship's intelligence, causing it to activate its self-destruct program, the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship wouldn't have been damaged so severely.

"Alright..."

Luo Xia nodded, his expression shifting slightly. He looked towards the villa entrance and saw a sturdy child running towards him, calling out, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle!"

Luo Xia crouched down, scooped up the little brat who had run towards him like the wind, and called out, "So, what do you want to do today?"

Behind them, Luo Feng, holding his eldest son's hand, looked helplessly at his younger son, who was wriggling around in Luo Xia's arms.

Luo Hai looked at Luo Xia, pointed his little finger to the sky, and giggled, "Third Uncle, take me flying! Fly!"

"You want to fly to the heavens!" Luo Xia laughed heartily, taking the one-year-old Luo Hai with him and flying into the sky. "Uncle will grant your wish!"

"Oh! Oh~ Flying away~!"

Luo Hai shouted excitedly in Luo Xia's arms.

After a while, Rorschach brought him down from the sky. The little brat immediately broke free from Rorschach's arms, ran to his twin brother, and boasted, "Brother! Brother! Did you see that?! I flew! I flew up into the sky!"

Luo Ping glanced at his boastful younger brother and curled his lip.

Although the two brothers are twins, their personalities are completely different.

Luo Ping's personality is more like Xu Xin's, calm and reserved; Luo Hai's personality is more like Luo Feng's, usually very lively and likes excitement.

For example, Luo Ping wasn't enthusiastic about things like going to heaven.

Last time, Luo Xia took both brothers up into the sky for a spin. When they came down, Luo Ping's face turned pale, but Luo Hai was very excited and kept pestering Luo Xia to take him flying again.

Luo Feng patted his youngest son's head and said, "Alright, you and your brother go play over there. I'm going to talk to your third uncle for a bit."

"Oh, Daddy."

Luo Hai was quite obedient. After Luo Feng finished speaking, he pulled Luo Ping aside to play.

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Luo Xia asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Nothing special. Xiao Hai just kept asking to come see you, and I didn't have anything to do at home, so I brought the two of them over."

Luo Xia glanced at Luo Ping and Luo Hai over there.

Although the two children are only a little over a year old, they have inherited Luo Feng's excellent genes, and their physical fitness is already enough to easily defeat some eleven or twelve-year-old children.

As they grow older, their physical abilities will surpass the record set by Rorschach.

"Xiao Hai really likes me," Luo Xia said with a smile.

The two brothers stood together, basking in the sun, watching the two children chasing each other and playing, while chatting.

"By the way, Babata said that the Black Dragon Mountain-X81 spaceship will be successfully repaired in two months. How about we go on a trip to space then, brother?"

"Luo Xia suddenly said."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. "Is the spaceship almost repaired?"

He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you then."

He wasn't comfortable letting Luo Xia go alone.

……

Two more months have passed.

In space, the silver-gray spaceship is still approaching Earth.

On Earth, Rorschach was training in the gravity chamber when Babata's voice suddenly rang out, "Rorschach! Rorschach!"

Rorschach asked with a smile, "Is the spaceship repaired?"

Babata said excitedly:

"That's right, it's fixed! The auxiliary propulsion system of the Black Dragon Mountain-X81 is now operational, and all the spacecraft's hardware is fully repaired. We can now head to space!"

Rorschach was also excited upon hearing this, "Great! I'll go get Big Brother now! We'll head to space in a bit!"

This trip to space is quite different from my last trip to Mars.

According to Babata, this time they were going to a super planet 32 light-years away from Earth, a planet that was hundreds or thousands of times more prosperous than the capital planet of the Silver Blue Empire.

There, powerful beings gather, and there are all kinds of cosmic races and life forms.

Rorschach and his team are going to make contact with aliens this time!

"Don't rush," Babata said. "It's getting late. Tell Luo Feng to make preparations, and we'll set off tomorrow!"

Luo Xia took a deep breath and nodded.

He also realized he was getting a little excited.

But soon we'll be able to truly explore the mysterious and vast universe, who wouldn't be excited?

"Big brother, Babata has repaired the spaceship. Shall we leave tomorrow?"

Luo Xia made a phone call to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng glanced at the two children who were already asleep in bed, quietly left the room, closed the door, and replied, "No problem, I'll tell your sister-in-law, and we'll leave tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone with Luo Xia, Luo Feng went back to his bedroom.

Xu Xin was lying in bed in her pajamas, watching a TV series. Hearing Luo Feng's voice, she smiled and asked, "Are they asleep?"

"She's asleep." Luo Feng nodded, got into bed, and hugged Xu Xin in his arms.

Xu Xin nestled against Luo Feng and chuckled, "Xiaoping and Xiaohai seem to like their dad more. They only agree to lie down in bed if you read them a bedtime story."

Luo Feng smiled smugly, kissed Xu Xin on the forehead, and said, "Who told me to be their father?"

After the couple talked for a while, Luo Feng said, "Xia and I are going out tomorrow."

Xu Xin was taken aback and asked, "Going out? To run errands? How long will it take?"

"About a month?" Luo Feng said, not entirely sure.

Xu Xin blinked. "A month? That's so long... It's not another one of those mysterious missions you had before, is it?"

Luo Feng scratched his head. "Yeah, it's that kind of mission. I promise I'll be back on time in a month."

Xu Xin glanced at Luo Feng, but didn't ask any further questions. She nodded, "Okay, I understand. The children and I will be waiting for you to come home."

Then she said, somewhat emotionally, "But you'll be gone for so long, tonight..."

……

In the room of the two children.

Luo Hai, with his eyes wide open, was clearly not asleep. His hearing was exceptionally good, and he whispered to Luo Ping beside him, "Brother, it seems like Dad is bullying Mom again..."

Luo Ping rolled his eyes at Luo Hai and said, "Go to sleep! Daddy won't bully Mommy."

"But I heard everything..."

"I told you to go to sleep!"

"Oh……"

As the calm and collected older brother, Luo Ping was able to keep Luo Hai in check.

……

The next morning, after Luo Xia and Luo Feng finished breakfast, they bid farewell to their families and, amidst the excited shouts of Luo Hai, the little brat, they flew into the sky and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

10,000 meters above the ground.

Rorschach had Babata bring out the Black Dragon Mountain-X81 spaceship.

The enormous, saucer-shaped black spaceship would be instantly detected by satellites on Earth if it activated its stealth mode.

The outer hatch opened, and Luo Xia and Luo Feng quickly flew inside.

After the hatch closed, the black spaceship immediately broke through the air and quickly flew towards outer space.

Inside the command center of the Black Dragon spacecraft.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng, both clad in full battle armor, sat comfortably in chairs.

On the console screen, the little face of the demon Babata appeared.

She said smugly, "We've left Earth now."

Luo Feng nodded and ordered, "Activate the outdoor scene, 100% simulation."

Swish!

The command center suddenly disappeared, and what came into view was an endless starry sky and a huge blue planet behind it.

"Brother, are you nervous?"

Luo Xia asked with a smile.

Luo Feng nodded. "This is our first time leaving Earth to go to another planet with life. I feel... a little unsettled."

Babata chuckled and said, "It's not surprising that you're nervous. After all, excluding the alien ruins on Earth, this is your first contact with other life in the universe. It's normal to be nervous."

Luo Feng nodded, looked around at the dark and silent universe, and asked, "Babata, hasn't the spaceship reached the speed of light yet?"

Babata said, "The Black Dragon Mountain-X81 is only a C5-class spaceship. Although it's considered a relatively high-end spaceship in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, its acceleration is incomparable to the Meteorite Star. It will take a while before it reaches the speed of light."

She paused, then continued, "Haven't you noticed? Even when the spaceship is flying at high speed, your own gravity doesn't change much. This is the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship's built-in automatic gravity adjustment function. Only high-end spaceships have this function."

"If it were a regular spaceship, you would need to enter the safe cabin once it accelerates to the speed of light, otherwise you would be torn apart by the gravity brought by the speed."

Luo Feng nodded in realization, "This is my first time on a spaceship, and I didn't even notice the changes in gravity."

As they were talking, Babata suddenly started a countdown.

"Twelve seconds left, the spaceship will reach the speed of light!"

"10!"

"9!"

...

"2!"

"1!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng looked outside, but the planets were no longer visible to the naked eye. All they could see was that the surrounding starry sky had become completely blurred, and gradually, only darkness remained in their field of vision.

It was as if we were swallowed by darkness.

If someone is not mentally strong enough, they might experience palpitations and panic when encountering such a situation for the first time.

From a third-person perspective, one can see that in the dark cosmic sky, Heilongshan's completely blurred figure suddenly disappeared in the slightly rippling space!

Just like how Babata popularized science underground back then.

Once the spaceship reached the speed of light, it disappeared from the universe and entered the dark universe.

boom!

The spaceship trembled slightly, and this tremor lasted for more than ten seconds.

At this moment, Babata on the control panel screen announced: "Space travel successful, we have entered the 'Dark Universe', shut down the exterior simulation."

The vanished command center reappeared.

Luo Feng looked at Babata with a puzzled expression. "Dark Universe? What's that?"

Babata said, "The dark universe is where we are right now. When an object reaches the speed of light in the real universe, it enters the dark universe. The spaceship is currently traveling at the speed of light and cannot capture the external scenery. We need to slow down to re-simulate the external scenery. Let me show you some simulated views of the dark universe..."

As Babata spoke, some dazzling scenery appeared on the screen in front of Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

In the vast space, there were points of light that looked like fireflies, and these points of light were spread throughout the dark universe, making it look like an ocean of light.

Babata continued, "The dark universe and the original universe we live in, which is the real universe, correspond in coordinates. However, the ratio of the dark universe to the original universe is 1:1008.1."

"Therefore, if you want to travel quickly in the vast universe, reaching the speed of light to enter the dark universe is the most convenient option."

Babata looked at Luo Xia and said, "I explained this to Luo Xia before, but Luo Feng doesn't know it, so I'll explain it again."

"In the original universe, matter cannot exceed the speed of light. Once it reaches the speed of light, it will directly travel through space and arrive in the dark universe. In the dark universe, however, it is possible to exceed the speed of light."

"And Rorschach's Godspeed Domain, to be precise, should be the Wind Godspeed Domain. This is the most powerful domain among the Laws of Wind, and second only to the Time Domain under the Law of Time. It allows Rorschach to remain in the original universe even after reaching the speed of light!"

"This field is incredibly powerful! But achieving the speed of light is extremely difficult, unless Rorschach can achieve immortality."

"The spaceship is now slowly accelerating. The maximum speed of Heilongshan-X81 can reach 1.5 times the speed of light, but considering energy conservation, 1.2 times the speed of light is just right."

"It is estimated that it will take 10 days on Earth to reach Qiulong Star. During this time, you can rest well or cultivate."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng nodded, choosing not to rest but instead entering the virtual space to cultivate.

……

Meanwhile, in a region of the sky very close to our solar system.

The silver-gray spaceship is resolutely heading towards Earth.

On the spaceship, the captain stood in front of the control panel, with a crew member who looked like a chimpanzee standing beside him.

The crew member was extremely strong and burly. He looked at the captain with concern and said:

"Captain, your family fleet has now arrived in the void region. At that time... will the family members seize your profits, leaving you with only a very small share?"

"snort."

The captain snorted and said, "Although my relationship with my grandfather is rather strained, I believe he isn't that kind of person."

The giant chimpanzee said, "But this is, after all, a planet inhabited by life. Although we haven't seen the planet yet, we can't estimate its value."

But if the legend from back then is true, this planet may contain the legacy and treasures left behind by that invincible powerhouse, and their value is definitely higher than that of ordinary life-bearing planets.

Captain, even brothers can turn against each other when faced with enormous profits. You'd better be careful.

The captain glanced at the crew member and immediately saw through his thoughts.

He glanced at the other crew members around him, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, finding this life-bearing planet was something we all discovered together, through thick and thin, risking our lives. I can guarantee that our adventurer team's profits will not be lacking!"

The crew members smiled when they heard this.

The captain continued, "Once we arrive at the inhabited planet, we'll immediately begin sampling and data collection. Then, I'll directly enter the virtual universe network to find buyers! The family can't possibly be faster than us."

He flashed a confident smile. "Everything is under my control!"
