Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 136 Unveiling the Dark Cruelty of the Universe

Outside the headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, Luo Xia and Luo Feng's intelligent fighter jets slowly landed.

"Inspector Luo."

"Inspector Luo, the young inspector."

After the two brothers got off the plane, the headquarters guards they encountered all bowed respectfully.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng strode into the headquarters.

"The owner is already waiting for you two."

"A seductive lady."

Luo Xia was somewhat surprised, not expecting that it was Yao Rao who came to greet them.

The alluring woman wearing the golden mask smiled, gestured for them to proceed, and then led the way, taking Luo Xia and Luo Feng to a reception room.

"The owner is inside, you can go in," the alluring woman said. Then she swayed her shapely hips and left.

Luo Feng stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

"Is that Luo Feng and Luo Xia?" Hong's voice came from inside. "Come in."

The door opened, and Luo Xia and Luo Feng stepped inside.

In the reception room, there were only cushions, and Hong and Thor were already sitting inside waiting for the two of them for a short while.

Thor saw Luo Xia and Luo Feng and laughed, "Brother Hong told me you two had something important to say, so I rushed over. What is it?"

"Sit down first, we can talk slowly."

Hong pointed to the mat and smiled as he spoke to Luo Feng and Luo Xia.

The two brothers nodded and sat down on the cushion.

After carefully considering his thoughts and words, Luo Feng looked at Hong and Thor and said, "Master, Thor, the main reason I've come to see you two is to discuss matters concerning the universe."

"Things about the universe..."

Thor and Hong exchanged a surprised glance.

Hong, however, wore a thoughtful expression, looking at Luo Feng and Luo Xia, and said, "It seems I guessed right, you two brothers have also received the inheritance of some alien civilization. The 'cosmic matters' you mentioned… have you already been to space?"

Luo Feng was slightly surprised when he heard Hong's words, then nodded and continued, "Well, a little over a month ago, Xia and I went to an alien planet. It was a planet 32 light-years away from Earth, called Qiulong Star."

Thor shouted, "Wait a minute! You two went to an alien planet 32 light-years away from Earth? How did you get there?"

He looked at Luo Xia and Luo Feng in surprise.

Luo Feng said, "My brother and I received a legacy left on Earth by an alien powerhouse, which gave us the assistance of an intelligent life form. Then, a little over a year ago, Xia went to Ruins No. 12 and discovered a well-preserved spaceship inside."

"With the help of intelligent life, we repaired the spaceship and made it capable of interstellar travel. Then, a month ago, we left Earth and headed to Qiulong Star."

Thor nodded in realization. "I see. Speaking of which, Hong also has an AI assistant. Now you all have one, but I don't..."

Hong glanced at Thor, then looked at Rorschach and said, "You actually went to Ruins 12? Thor and I have been there too. The spaceship you're talking about, you must be that saucer-shaped spaceship parked in the secret compartment, right?"

"Yes, Master." Rorschach nodded.

Hong said, "Thor and I entered the UFO-shaped spaceship before, trying to bring it back, but its gate was too heavy. Thor and I couldn't lift it even with our combined strength, so we had to give up in the end. I didn't expect you could actually get in. You're really amazing."

Rorschach laughed, "Thanks to Babata."

Babata gave a haughty snort from inside the wristband.

"Babata?" Thor paused for a moment, then realized, "That's the name of that intelligent life form, isn't it?"

"Mm." Rorschach nodded.

Hong then looked at Luo Feng and asked, "What did you see on Qiulong Star?"

Luo Feng began to recount his sights and experiences on Qiulong Star.

Aside from the information about their teacher, Huyanbo, they recounted their encounters with Gaosheng, the Mengbei girl, the slave trader, the Qianwu Taoist temple, and so on.

He spoke in one breath, from beginning to end.

Hong and Thor were completely dumbfounded.

They also received some information and knowledge from extraterrestrial civilizations. For example, Hong had an intelligent assistant, and the two of them knew some things about the universe.

But everything Luo Feng said now gave the two of them a deeper understanding of the darkness and cruelty of the universe.

In the vast universe, only planetary-level beings can officially become citizens.

Even those at the Hengxing level can only be considered elites, capable of serving as bodyguards for others.

They never expected that even a powerhouse at the cosmic level would become a slave!

This is really scary!

"Did you buy some slaves from Qiulong Star?" Hong asked.

Luo Feng nodded. "Yes, I bought seven level 3 or higher Star-level Spiritual Masters. Then the slave trader gave me ten level 1 Star-level martial artists and a thousand level 9 Planetary-level Spiritual Masters as a bonus."

Hong and Lei Shen were sweating profusely as they listened.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng's slaves could completely wipe out the entire Earth.

Thor couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any ideas about ruling the Earth?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and Luo Xia wore expressions that were both amused and exasperated.

Hong laughed and said, "Why are you asking them this question? If they wanted to rule the earth, would they be here talking to us about this? They would just flatten the earth and kill us, which would be much easier."

Thor scratched his head. "Seventeen powerful beings at the Star level or above suddenly appeared on Earth, and they're even slaves of those two brothers. I'm starting to panic."

Hong shook his head, looked at Luo Feng again, and asked, "You just said that you bought 10,000 consciousness-sensing helmets and 100,000 tons of Purple Light Dew on Qiulong Star?"

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded. "Xia and I plan to distribute these to the whole world. Our Earth is like a speck of dust in the vast universe, too insignificant and too weak. If it were suddenly exposed to the universe, Earth might face a terrible crisis."

He said earnestly, "These consciousness-sensing helmets and purple light dew can greatly enhance global strength and accelerate the evolution of humanity on Earth. Only when the entire race rises can our Earth survive in this cold and dark universe."

After listening, Hong looked at Luo Feng and Luo Xia with satisfaction and said, "You two brothers have a really high level of awareness! If you were more selfish, you wouldn't have thought about your race or Earth at all."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, you two brothers shouldn't go back for the next couple of days. Let's discuss here how to distribute these consciousness-sensing helmets and purple light dew. If we're going to distribute these things, we'll need to explain your experiences in the universe..."

He sighed, "Thor and I have always felt that humanity may not be ready to face the universe... But according to you, if humanity doesn't take big strides forward and continues to progress slowly as it is now, when disaster strikes, we humans on Earth may really be doomed."

Luo Feng and Luo Xia both nodded.

Over the next few days, they spent the time at the global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy discussing the distribution of the Purple Light Dew and the consciousness-sensing helmet with Hong and Thor.

"Let's convene a meeting at the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in three days. We will be gathering high-ranking officials from all countries and base cities around the world."

Hong said, "The Purple Dew will be distributed according to the plan we agreed on, once every ten years, in tons each time. As for how they distribute the Purple Dew after they receive it, we don't need to worry about the details."

"As for the consciousness-sensing helmets, they will be distributed and left to their own devices. But there is one condition: everyone who receives a consciousness-sensing helmet must fully disclose and share the information and technology they obtain from the virtual universe."

"Oh, and your slaves too. Although you bought them to protect the Earth, I don't think you should make them public."

The meeting we're about to hold will be to show the world the cruelty and true nature of the universe. If they know they have a powerful guard to protect them, they won't feel a sense of crisis, and their efficiency will be very low.

"Only by making everyone feel a sense of crisis will they try every means to increase the number of martial artists and accelerate the pace of human evolution!"

After Hong finished speaking, Thor nodded, "I agree."

Luo Feng and Luo Xia exchanged a glance and nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

Hong smiled and said, "In that case, I'll start contacting the leaders of the various organizations and base cities to invite them to the meeting in three days. I'll need you, Luo Feng, to give your presentation then."

"No problem, Master." Luo Feng replied.

Three days passed quickly.

The weather was perfect that day, with a clear autumn sky and crisp air.

Today, the global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy has become the center of the entire planet, with fighter jets flying from all over the world to the headquarters' airfield and landing here.

One by one, the leaders stepped out of the plane and, guided by the headquarters staff, headed to a large conference room on the interstellar transport ship.

The meeting officially began at 9:00 AM.

Everyone stared solemnly at the center of the circular conference room.

Three days ago, they received a call from Hong, saying that an important conference on human evolution would be held today, and he hoped that all of them could attend.

As a result, one leader after another changed their schedules and work hours, and came to the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy on this day.

Snapped!

The lights in the conference room suddenly dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, a three-dimensional virtual projection appeared in the center of the conference room, a projection of a vast starry sky.

Hong Chaoluo Feng nodded in acknowledgment.

Luo Feng then stood up, slowly walked to the center of the conference room, glanced around, and said with a serious expression, "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Luo Feng, will be giving the presentation today."

"It's Councilor Luo Feng!"

"Was it actually Representative Luo Feng who went up to give his speech?"

"Hong said today's meeting concerns human evolution, so what exactly is the content of the meeting?"

Some people began to whisper among themselves.

After waiting for them to discuss for a while, Luo Feng pointed to the virtual projection next to him and said, "What I want to say is that today's meeting is no less important than the Great Nirvana!"

Wow!

These words surprised everyone once again.

For humanity on Earth, the Great Rebirth is a significant turning point for life and civilization, a historical moment on the same level as the Industrial Revolution. Is today's meeting really of this scale?

"Please look at the projection: Earth, Moon, Solar System... I don't need to go into too much detail about these, as you all should have some basic knowledge of them. But what about beyond the Solar System?"

As Luo Feng spoke, the projection changed, with images of Earth, the Moon, the Solar System flashing by one by one, before finally settling on an image of the vast Milky Way galaxy.

"In the past, I was just like you all, full of unknowns and imagination about the universe beyond our solar system. Until recently, I went to an alien planet. As you can see, this planet is called White Orchid Star, and it's one of the alien planets I've visited."

Images and videos of Bai Lanxing appeared on the projector.

Everyone in the conference room stared intently at the images and videos projected on the screen, their faces showing utter astonishment.

Is this really a scene from another planet?

Some people had doubts, but they also felt that Luo Feng wouldn't lie on such an important occasion.

After all, what good would it do Luo Feng to lie here?

"White Orchid Star is very close to Earth, only 1.18 light-years away. Like us, it is located in the Milky Way galaxy, and the Milky Way, Beta Galaxy, and eight other galaxies are all ruled by a primitive cosmic civilization called the Silver Blue Empire!"

Following Luo Feng's words, the projection showed the territory of the Silver Blue Empire.

This was naturally provided by Babata.

Everyone was utterly shocked. An empire that ruled over eight star systems?

That's incredibly powerful!

Some people began to whisper among themselves.

Luo Feng ignored them and continued, "You might think that the Silver Blue Empire, which rules eight star systems, is very powerful. But the truth is, this nation is the weakest among all civilizations in the universe! Don't forget, I'm talking about a rudimentary civilization in the universe!"

"How is that possible?"

"An empire that rules eight star systems is the weakest of all? Really?"

"That's eight star systems! And within each of those systems, there are countless inhabited planets! Such a vast empire, yet it's the weakest in the universe?"

Everyone was surprised and started talking loudly.

The intelligence they received was truly astonishing.

"If there are elementary civilizations in the universe, then there are also intermediate and advanced ones! The Silver Blue Empire is indeed the weakest civilization in the universe."

Luo Feng said.

He pointed to the projector, and the image on the projector began to change into the image of Qiulongxing.

"Last time I went out, besides going to Bailan Star, I also arrived at this planet called Qiulong Star, which belongs to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. This Black Dragon Mountain Empire is a mid-level civilization in the universe. Can you guess how many star systems it encompasses?"

"10?"

"15?"

"20?"

People speculated, but Luo Feng shook his head at every number they called out.

Finally, he sighed and said, "The territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire spans over 8000 star systems!"

hiss--!

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

Everyone stared at Luo Feng in shock, and someone asked incredulously, "Councilor Luo Feng, does the Black Dragon Mountain Empire really... really rule over more than eight thousand star systems?"

"Yes," Luo Feng nodded, continuing his explanation, "Qiulong Star is a subordinate planet of such a powerful cosmic kingdom. Do you know what I saw on this planet? Powerful technology? Yes, of course they have that. They have technology far surpassing Earth's..."

He saw the excitement on many people's faces, "Ha, you're thinking that if we could establish contact with Qiulong Star, we might be able to buy their technology to strengthen Earth's power..."

Some people nodded.

If they could study the technology of extraterrestrial civilizations, they believed that Earth's technological level would increase dramatically, allowing us to leap into the interstellar age.

But Luo Feng shook his head and said with a serious expression, "Let me introduce a race to everyone."

As he spoke, the projection showed the home planet of the Black Mongol race.

"On this planet lives a race called the Black Mongol Clan. They look very similar to us humans, but are much stronger. They possess millions of planetary-level warriors and psychic masters!"

"They also have powerhouses at the celestial level!"

"Those of you present here probably know how the levels of power in the universe are classified. Our Earth's councilors are at the planetary level. Do we currently have more than 100 planetary-level powerhouses on Earth?"

Everyone shook their heads, feeling suffocated.

The Black Mongol Clan has millions of powerful members at the level of councilors!

That's incredibly powerful.

"Star-level powerhouses are basically capable of sweeping across our Earth, bringing us the threat of extinction. The Black Mongol Clan also boasts a large number of star-level powerhouses, and many of them are at least at the fifth or sixth rank!"

Luo Feng looked around the conference room and noticed the envious glances from many people.

He knew that many people were probably thinking: When will Earth reach the level of the Black Mongol Clan, with so many planetary and celestial level powerhouses?

However, the fate of the Black Mongols was tragic.

"This powerful Black Mongol race is, in fact, an enslaved race in the universe!"

Luo Feng shouted loudly.

As he spoke, the projector showed the scene that Luo Xia and Luo Feng had seen in the slave market.

In the scene, powerful individuals are displayed like commodities, left to be chosen by others, with no way to resist.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the image on the projection screen.

Luo Feng continued, "Countless people of the Black Mongol tribe are slaves. Their planet has been conquered and ruled. Their children are implanted with biochips at birth, becoming controlled slaves! Generation after generation, they have been unable to escape this fate!"

Is this true?

"Such a powerful race, and they're slaves..."

"No, how could this be? This is too cruel!"

Someone shouted out in disbelief, releasing the pent-up repression and despair in their heart.

If even a powerful race like the Black Mongols are slaves, how can humanity survive in this universe?

Many people broke out in a cold sweat.

A woman stood up, stared at Luo Feng, and asked, "Councilor Luo Feng, did you really go to this so-called Dragon Star?"

Because the facts Luo Feng told were too shocking, they couldn't believe them and began to question whether what Luo Feng said was true.

Luo Feng smiled and suddenly called out to the people at the door, "Bring the things up."

Immediately, a staff member brought over a black helmet.

"A consciousness-sensing helmet?"

Everyone looked at the helmet with puzzled expressions.

Hong then walked to Luo Feng's side and said to everyone, "This is the consciousness-sensing helmet that Luo Feng and Luo Xia bought from that Qiulong Star. It's the original helmet from the universe. You can send people to use it to enter the virtual universe and see if what Luo Feng said today is true."

Wow!

The entire venue was once again in an uproar.
