Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 94 The Legacy of the Immortal Gods

Ning Ze summarized and analyzed what he knew, and then said no more.

People have to pay the price for their actions. What kind of danger you face will bring what kind of reward. Luo Feng's choice is entirely up to him.

Anyway, he's not going in. This AI isn't very friendly to him.

Luo Feng fell into deep thought. He was about to become an inspector, and his strength had reached the planetary level. He had become a member of parliament on Earth. His personal strength, social status, and responsibilities had all reached the pinnacle of humanity.

He was about to win the heart of his beloved, his first love. The journey had been fraught with difficulties, leaving him anxious and distraught.

Is it worth taking the risk in this situation?

Inside the spaceship.

Separated by a door, Babata could only watch longingly, constantly sending goodwill and pleading for Luo Feng to come in.

After a long period of silent contemplation, Luo Feng slowly raised his head, looked at Ning Ze beside him, and said with a firm gaze, "Brother Ning, I don't sense any danger. I want to go in and try!"

He was now fully conscious when he noticed the almost pleading subconscious guidance, indicating that someone was conveying some emotion to him. Clearly, the situation inside was as Ning Ze had described; it contained the intelligence of Relic No. 9.

These AIs are indeed dangerous. When he left, they warned him not to reveal anything about the ruins, or they would eliminate him!

Then there's intuition. He had a feeling that this was his destiny, a feeling that was inexplicable yet gave him immense confidence. He also had intuition when facing life-or-death trials, and he trusted his intuition.

Finally, there was Ning Ze standing beside him.

The gap between the two was too great. The moment he emerged from the ancient ruins, he felt a terrifying pressure from Ning Ze. At that time, the feeling was vague and unclear, and he could only sense that he was powerful.

But after the breakthrough, when he went to thank him again, he felt a kind of terror of life. His intuition was frantically warning him. The sense of danger was even more exaggerated than the feeling that Hong had given him. They were completely different concepts.

He used to consider Ning Ze his rival, but now, though the gap seems small, he can't even see Ning Ze's back. Since he's sure there's no real danger, he certainly won't give up this opportunity.

"Brother Ning, could you please look after the house for me...?"

"Of course." Ning Ze nodded and agreed immediately. In fact, he also wanted to explore it and had even thought about it for many days. However, after a rational analysis, he certainly wouldn't choose to take the risk when faced with an unknown entity that might have a hostile attitude towards him.

For him, the most important thing right now is to see the world behind the barrier above the heavens, and through that hazy mist, to feel that magnificent, boundless, and mysterious world.

Luo Feng didn't say anything more, nodded, and walked directly towards the cabin door.

Ning Ze watched Luo Feng's figure disappear, a slightly gratified smile appearing on his lips.

This time, Luo Feng used the Sky Shuttle, and his strength was almost on par with that of the Third Speaker, Mohanderson. He had only just become a planetary-level being, and Luo Feng was only one level stronger than him back then.

In the previous era, Hong and Thor were the first and second strongest, but in this era, he and Luo Feng have risen to prominence.

From the few bits of information about the universe they gleaned from ancient ruins, they understood their own insignificance and the vastness of the cosmos.

The four of them represent the pinnacle of humanity and the future of humankind. Hong and Thor are not far apart and are chasing each other, while Luo Feng is far behind him!

Luo Feng's talent as a mentalist was exhausted a year ago when he reached the peak of the God of War. If it weren't for the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, his performance wouldn't have been particularly outstanding.

If Ning Ze were in Luo Feng's position, he wouldn't miss such an opportunity to improve himself. If he were to admit defeat, what kind of martial artist would he be?

This relic was a crisis for him and a challenge for Luo Feng. Ning Ze was unsure how dangerous Luo Feng was, so he only stood at the door for three seconds before leaving.

Inside the mysterious spaceship.

Luo Feng was completely stunned.

This was an enormous corpse, its skin completely black, its arms thick and strong. It was clad in a special armor covered in intricate patterns, many times more complex than those on the Sky-Piercing Shuttle. Furthermore, it wore special gloves on its fists, and its blood-red eyes remained wide open.

Luo Feng met its gaze, and his very life trembled. It was a powerful being that transcended countless levels of life for him.

"Luo Feng!"

"You've finally arrived!"

As the sound rang out, the figure of Babata materialized in front of them. This intelligent life form, resembling a little devil, was extremely excited, and its voice trembled as it spoke.

"Fifty thousand years! I've waited fifty thousand years!"

Luo Feng composed himself and tried to look away from the giant. He turned his head to look at the strange creature in front of him, feeling much more at ease. Hearing this, he knew he was safe.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Babata the Demon, or as you Earthlings would say."

"Demon Babata? Earthling?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow with a hint of caution in his eyes. Extraterrestrials were one thing, but to have such a name? Demons were hardly good things on Earth.

"Come with me, I'll take you to receive your master's inheritance!"

"Inheritance?" Luo Feng felt slightly relieved. An Earthling was truly insignificant in the universe, nothing worth others plotting against. "Alright."

As he walked through the next compartment, he saw six more corpses, but the AI ​​detected no signs of life.

The first one's body and wounds were as if cast in gold; the second was a unicorn with scales; the third had a tortoise shell; the fourth was almost identical to a Chinese person; the fifth was similar to the first corpse, only in a bronze color; and the sixth was completely a skeleton...

"They've been dead for fifty thousand years." Babata glanced at the six corpses in the hall, shook his head and sighed, "They were all peerless figures in the vast universe, immortal beings. Time pales in comparison to them. Even in death... their bodies are eternally immortal. But when their master dies, they too will be buried with him."

Babata then gave a brief self-introduction. It was indeed intelligent, just as Ning Ze had said, but it was also a life form, only its life form was completely different from that of Earthlings.

Soon, they arrived at a crystal coffin, inside which lay a corpse!

The corpse was about three meters tall and had two flexible tentacles on its forehead. Apart from the tentacles and its larger size, it was exactly the same as a human on Earth.

He lay peacefully on the crystal coffin, dressed in a long black robe that shimmered with a faint light, his long hair flowing freely, as if he were asleep. His features were exceptionally handsome, and his narrow eyes gave him a somewhat effeminate air... Although he was now just a corpse, he possessed a strange charm that stirred the soul.

"Master Hu Yanbo of Meteorite Star!" he muttered to himself, then turned and asked, "You just said that Senior Hu Yanbo lived for 6000 epochs?"

Babata had previously told him about the realms of powerful beings: Apprentice Lifespan, Planetary Lifespan, Eternal Lifespan, Universe Level, Domain Lord Level. This was something Luo Feng had heard about before. There was also the Realm Lord Level, where only one such powerful being would appear in 1000 star systems under normal development.

Even more immortal are the immortal gods, and the handsome young man lying in the crystal coffin is one of them!

"One era is equivalent to... 10081 years in your Earth time," Babata said.

Luo Feng was stunned. A powerful expert with 6000 million years of experience!

Babata continued his story.

On this day, Luo Feng's worldview was greatly impacted, and he was exposed to too many new things.

Finally, at Babata's request, Luo Feng paid homage to its former master and then became the disciple of the corpse.

Then, he asked a question that had been bothering him: "You said that after the teacher possessed another body, his talent was enhanced, which allowed him to cultivate to his current level. This shows that talent is extremely important."

"My brain capacity is only 22, while Brother Ning is so much stronger than me. He obviously has a much greater talent. Why did you choose me instead of him? Do I have some special talent?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing the name, Babata flew into a rage. This proud intelligent being had been blocked at the door by a mere planetary-level brat! It grumbled, "Don't even mention him! His talent is utter garbage! How could I possibly choose him?"

Luo Feng looked astonished and asked incredulously, "You're saying Brother Ning's talent is terrible?"

"Of course!" Babata said dismissively, "Your brain size increased by 1 point when you became a planetary-level being, from 21 to 22. He is currently a third-tier planetary-level being with a brain size of only 9. The worse the talent gene is, the better the effect after evolution. Before he became a planetary-level being, his brain size was only 7! Not even 7."

"Although brain capacity is represented by numbers, your Earth's calculation method is too primitive. Your brain capacity is 22, while his is 9. Your talent is not just twice as much as his, but a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even a hundred thousand times! With such poor talent, he probably obtained some kind of treasure to break through to the third level of the planetary level. His progress will definitely slow down later, and you can easily catch up with him!"

Even if Babata is angry inside, he may speak with a disdainful tone, but he will not speak such knowledge carelessly, nor will he mislead Luo Feng.

"A thousand times! Ten thousand times! A hundred thousand times!" Luo Feng felt a deep sense of awe. Perhaps Ning Ze had obtained some treasure, but to be able to cultivate to a level that Luo Feng could only look up to under such a huge gap was certainly more worthy of admiration.

"Alright, now here are the cultivation resources prepared for your master." Babata grinned.

Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What kind of things do you have?"

Babata slowly recounted the details, as if they were his own treasures, "From now on, you'll use this quantum computer so I can be with you all the time... the spatial ring... the arc disc... be careful with that fragment you picked up outside; the owner of this spaceship spent a huge sum of money, so even that fragment would drive a domain lord-level expert crazy!... And the Cloud Vine... from now on, use the Wood Seed Crystal for cultivation; don't absorb cosmic energy anymore, it's too much of a waste of time..."

After entering the hatch, Luo Feng returned with a full load. After leaving the spaceship, he sent a communication to Ning Ze.

Babata said to Luo Feng in his mind, quite annoyed, "Why bother communicating with that bastard? With the little fragment I gave you, you don't need to be afraid of him at all!"

"In other words, you need to be careful with Hong and Lei Shen. Your cultivation level is higher than theirs, so you might not be able to defeat them. He's only a third-tier planetary-level being; he simply can't withstand the Crimson Copper Mother."

"He extorted 215 Wood Crystals from me before. You could use that for a long time if you had them for cultivation; it's a waste to use them on him!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile. He could tell how much resentment Babata harbored towards Ning Ze.

Overwhelmed by the information from the universe, he felt incredibly small and insignificant.

On the contrary, Babata is incredibly powerful. This proud intelligent life form, once a servant of an immortal god, was forced to bleed by a planetary kid. How could he possibly be in a good mood?

"Babata, stop fooling around. Actually, Brother Ning is a very nice guy. It's because you were acting so strangely before; anyone would be wary. Who wouldn't take advantage of something so valuable? Especially a treasure like the Wood Crystal! We're not as rich as you. My first Wood Crystal is equivalent to you getting that spaceship!"

Babata opened its mouth, but was rendered speechless. It was already somewhat disappointed when it detected Ning Ze's talent, and the more it looked down on him, the angrier it became after being repeatedly tricked.

"bite."

Communication is enabled.

Ning Ze's image appeared in front of them.

Luo Feng glanced at the adorable girl in Ning Ze's arms and the background behind them, and he was slightly surprised. "Brother Ning, you're home?"

"I didn't expect you to come out so quickly," Ning Ze shrugged and replied. "Since you're inside, there's no more Mu Ya Jing. My cultivation place has been occupied, so I decided to come back and rest for a while before preparing to break through the next bottleneck."

Babata thought to Luo Feng, "A mere third-tier planetary-level trash, he's only cultivating some gene energy, yet he talks like he's made such a big improvement." Changing the subject, he continued, "I told you, his talent is terrible. He's already hit a bottleneck in cultivating gene energy. The treasure he obtained is probably consumable. You can easily surpass him."

Luo Feng automatically ignored these resentful words. "I've gained a lot this time, and I'm planning to go see the academy master and then go home to cultivate for a while."

"Oh? Quite a find?" Ning Ze said with some interest. "Then come back to me, and we can chat. I'm very curious about what's inside—something like a stupid, idiotic AI, or like those silly programs found in ancient ruins?"

Babata's face suddenly stiffened, his mind replaying the words "intelligent but mentally challenged" and "stupid program," the two words alternating constantly.

The next second, it roared angrily!

"asshole!"

"Go to hell!"

"Bullshit! You're the idiot! You big moron!"

"****"

"***"

"**"

Babata was so agitated that he kept cursing in various languages, as if to show off how smart he was. His anger had reached its peak.

Luo Feng's forehead creased with an embarrassment, and he readily agreed to Ning Ze's suggestion, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Brother Ning. I was planning to tell you anyway."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Communication ended.

Luo Feng sighed and tried to comfort her, "Alright, Babata, Brother Ning didn't mean to scold you. He doesn't even know you exist. At most, he just guesses that there's an AI inside."

Babata's image flashed through Luo Feng's mind. He gasped for breath several times before calming down, and asked blankly, "Who is that 'little idiot' that guy was talking about?"

Luo Feng touched his nose and replied, "It's the AI ​​in his spaceship. Because it's too rigid to operate, he named it 'Little Stupid.'"

Babata's face was terribly gloomy.

Luo Feng had a premonition that Babata was about to erupt again because, according to what Babata had said before, intelligent systems could be divided into four levels: logical processing program, logic comparable to that of a real human, emotional intelligence, and intelligent life.

Babata is undoubtedly an intelligent life form, while "Little Stupid" is a logic processing program...

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth. The software in a computer can be called a logic processing program, how can it be compared with intelligent life?

This phrase, when applied to a person, is equivalent to insulting them: "You're just a cell!"

The Castle in the Sky is described as a pigsty.

The city of gods is described as a toilet.

"Ah! I'm going to kill him! Luo Feng, kill him for me!" Babata went completely berserk after a moment of silence.
