Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 68 Heart-to-Heart Talk (Author's Note on Launch)

"Luo Feng, we've made a killing this time!"

Babata transmitted his thoughts, saying, "The Golden Horned Beast is a darling of the fundamental laws of metal. Even if it only eats and sleeps, it will eventually possess a domain and comprehend the laws. Upon reaching adulthood, it can step into the realm of a world lord, which will greatly benefit your future growth!"

According to Babata.

The value of this golden-horned giant beast egg is greater than all the legacies left by Huyanbo!

After all, Hu Yanbo's legacy can only be fully extracted once Luo Feng's strength reaches the required level, while the Golden Horned Beast Egg is a true future world master!

This deal was absolutely a steal!

To prevent Luo Shen from regretting it later, Babata made it clear: "Luo Shen, to be honest, you'll be at a disadvantage in this deal. If you're not satisfied with the terms, I can arrange for you to get a bigger share."

Luo Shen naturally understood what the other party meant.

After all, that represents a cub of a golden-horned behemoth. Once the news is exposed, not to mention the realm lord, even an immortal powerhouse would be unable to resist taking action!

Moreover, Luo Feng is still very weak right now, without any backing or teacher's protection.

Once discovered.

There is only one outcome—enslavement!

If his answer doesn't satisfy Babata, the other party will definitely do everything possible to make him "shut up." The nickname "Little Devil Babata" isn't just for show!

It can do anything for the future of Meteorite!

In this cruel universe, the weak are enslaved, and only the strong deserve mercy!

"Don't worry that I'll be greedy. We agreed on half, and that's half!"

Luo Shen smiled slightly.

"I know the value of this golden-horned behemoth egg better than you do!"

"I'm just an ordinary Earthling. I don't have the ability or channels to monetize, and I have no intention of possessing the Golden Horned Beast. I'm making a deal with you because of Senior Brother Luo Feng. This is definitely a win-win situation for both of us."

"After all, the stronger my senior brother is, the more powerful a patron I will be in the future."

Luo Shen shrugged and said, "So you don't need to worry. I won't do anything that harms others or myself for personal gain. After all, compared to an unknown alien civilization, you and my senior brother are more trustworthy to me, aren't you?"

Babata neither confirmed nor denied these remarks.

To say that it completely trusts Luo Shen is naturally impossible, after all, it had only known Luo Shen for a short time and there was no basis for trust between them.

But if we really want to take action, we'll silence Luo Shen forever.

It was also somewhat reluctant to part with it.

After all, Luo Shen's talent was absolutely unparalleled in its life. Although it might be inferior to the Golden Horned Beast, it was still considered top-notch among billions of humans.

Moreover, what Luo Shen said does make a lot of sense.

"Anyway, the boss's inheritance is in my hands. I can decide how much to give him. I can always find a chance to make up for it later," Babata thought to himself.

In the end, Luo Shen persuaded Babata, and the two sides reached an agreement.

However, just as Babata's situation was resolved, Luo Feng caused another problem.

"I don't want to possess the Golden Horned Beast!"

Luo Feng expressed some resistance to the idea of ​​possessing the Golden Horned Beast.

In the original story, Luo Feng's possession of the Golden Horned Beast was also due to a chance encounter. His original intention was to take advantage of the Golden Horned Beast's weakened state and fight it to the death.

They only realized it when the fight started.

Even a heavily injured Golden Horned Beast is terrifyingly strong.

Left with no other choice, he could only burn his foundation, allowing his soul to leave his body and enter the body of the Golden Horned Beast to find its original core and engage in the final battle!

This led to the subsequent explosion of the soul crystal, which pierced through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defenses.

The reason Luo Feng used the body-snatching technique was because his original body had collapsed and he could no longer turn back. He could only rely on snatching the body of the Golden Horned Beast to save his life.

This can be seen from Luo Feng's insistence on using his own body to nurture his clone.

But Babata doesn't understand any of this.

As an intelligent life form, how could it understand human thoughts? In its view, how could an ordinary human body compare to the noble bloodline of the Golden Horned Beast?

That's the future Lord of the Realm!

Do you even understand the significance of being an Invincible Realm Lord?

Fortunately, Luo Shen, who knew the original plot, somewhat guessed Luo Feng's thoughts. After comforting Babata, he asked Luo Feng, "Senior brother, are you worried that after possessing the Golden Horned Beast, you won't be able to see your parents and relatives in your original body anymore?"

Luo Shen couldn't think of any other reason besides this.

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment.

He nodded.

This is indeed what he cares about most.

With his parents old and his younger brother Luo Hua disabled since childhood, Luo Feng, as the eldest son, naturally had to shoulder the burden of the family, and the whole family depended on him alone.

Possessing the body of the Golden Horned Beast would certainly be desirable.

But how heartbroken his parents and younger brother must be when they find out he's gone.

Moreover, he hasn't confessed his feelings to Xu Xin yet.

If he turned into a golden-horned behemoth, how could he be with Xu Xin? Originally, he was going to confess his feelings to Xu Xin after returning this time. The relationship between the two was just one step away from being broken through.

"Senior brother, I think you're overthinking it."

Luo Feng: "?"

Luo Shen carefully crafted his explanation: "Actually, the Golden Horned Beast possesses a life-saving talent called 'Clone.' Once it cultivates to the Hengxing level, its primordial core world will have the ability to create clones. Then you can use your body to create clones, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Luo Feng asked with a hint of disbelief, "How did you know that?"

He had every reason to suspect that Luo Shen was cooperating with Babata to deceive him.

Luo Shen shrugged and said, "Senior brother, everyone has their own little secrets, just like how you hid your identity as a mentalist from the outside world. This is also my secret."

Speaking of this...

Luo Feng then recalled how his recklessness had led to Luo Shen being unjustly accused.

In particular, Luo Shen had specifically reminded him that he could reveal his identity as a mentalist if necessary, but things still went beyond his control.

Although Li Yao had already died at Luo Shen's hands, he still took the blame for him back then.

It's fortunate that Luo Shen trusted him so much.

He even suspected that Luo Shen had conspired with Babata to deceive him. Luo Feng felt that he had really let Luo Shen down.

"I'm sorry, Ah Shen, I was wrong. I believe you!"

Luo Feng expressed his gratitude.

Luo Shen: "?"

Did something happen that he didn't know about? Why did Luo Feng suddenly apologize to him?

A big question mark was in the little head.

Fortunately, the outcome was positive. Luo Feng agreed to possess the Golden Horned Beast, and half of Hu Yanbo's inheritance would fall into Luo Shen's pocket.

However, there's no rush to possess someone.

After all, the Golden Horned Beast is still an egg and has not yet hatched.

Furthermore, Luo Feng also needs to cultivate the "Body Seizure" secret technique. In addition, even if it is the young Golden Horned Beast, a certain level of strength is required. At least the planetary level is needed to have a chance of successfully seizing the body.

Fortunately, with the Golden Horned Beast egg in hand, there was no way to escape.

"Then we..."

Luo Shen was just about to suggest going back to the base city to recuperate, since he had been away for so long and it was time to go back, when he felt a vibration from his communication watch.

I looked down.

It turned out to be a call from Hong.
