A primitive cosmic civilization, considered as nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the master of Yimo Star?
Luo Feng was stunned by this sentence.
The Yinlan Empire ruled over eight vast star systems, including the Milky Way and Beta systems—a cosmic nation of immense scale! Just the Milky Way alone had more than 210,000 planets inhabited by large human populations. What an enormous nation! Compared to them, Earth was like a grain of sand in the ocean, insignificant and tiny!
Yet such a mighty empire seemed trivial in Babata’s eyes.
“Don’t doubt it,” said Babata, his eyes filled with admiration. “The master’s might is beyond your imagination.”
“I just mentioned that the Milky Way, Beta system, and six other star systems form the Yinlan Empire—an early-stage cosmic civilization.”
“According to the cosmic map, your Milky Way belongs to the ‘Black Dragon Mountain Star Region,’ which contains more than 8,000 star systems. Governing the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a mid-tier cosmic civilization considered quite formidable in the universe.”
“The Black Dragon Mountain Empire directly controls over six thousand star systems and has more than five hundred vassal states classified as primitive cosmic civilizations. The Yinlan Empire is merely one of those vassal states,” Babata explained fluently.
Luo Feng was stunned.
The Black Dragon Mountain Star Region? Over 8,000 star systems? Five hundred vassal states? And the Yinlan Empire was just one of them?
“Don’t look like that,” Babata said.
“Although the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is powerful, when faced with my master, they must still show respect!” Babata continued, “As for mighty experts, under normal circumstances, generally one ‘World Lord’ emerges from every thousand star systems.”
“Stop!”
Luo Feng interrupted.
“What’s wrong?” Babata turned to him.
“What is a World Lord? From the ruins of the ancient Ninth Civilization, I only knew that warriors were categorized as Apprentices, Star-level, Stellar-level, Cosmic-level, and those beyond Cosmic-level,” Luo Feng pressed urgently. Hearing Babata’s explanation, he felt as though he had been gazing at a towering mountain, only to discover even loftier peaks stretching beyond!
The universe was vast, filled with countless mighty beings!
“Oh, let me give you a basic lesson,” Babata said. “When speaking of warriors and mentalists, forget about the Apprentice level. Apprentices aren’t even worthy of being called warriors or mentalists.”
“The main classifications are Star-level, Stellar-level, Cosmic-level, Domain Lord, and World Lord. Beyond World Lord is… Immortal!”
“Star-level warriors can wander the cosmos, serving as mercenaries, servants, or expendable soldiers,” Babata said disdainfully.
“Stellar-level warriors are considered important figures on remote planets, but on major planets, they’d better keep a low profile.”
“Cosmic-level warriors are the real experts! Normally, only one Cosmic-level warrior emerges from an entire star system. They can easily be granted dozens of planets as their territory by a cosmic nation.”
“Domain Lords are local overlords! Even primitive cosmic nations dare not provoke them easily. They can establish their own factions. In the vast universe, every cosmic nation would do anything to recruit Domain Lords!”
“World Lords? Heh heh, they’re like local emperors! Taking a star system as their domain is effortless. A World Lord must have reached the ‘Inner World’ realm, commanding their own world. Luo Feng, if you become a World Lord, you could roam the universe freely, provided you have no ambitions,” Babata said with a half-smile.
Luo Feng listened intently.
According to the ruins of the ancient Ninth Civilization, only a single Cosmic-level warrior emerged from countless planets—a feat nearly impossible for Luo Feng. Now, he discovered there existed even higher realms beyond the Cosmic level: Domain Lords, and beyond them, World Lords! The challenge was beyond imagination!
“Only beyond World Lord comes Immortality!”
Babata’s expression turned serious.
“Whether Star-level, Stellar-level, Cosmic-level, Domain Lord, or World Lord, all still have limited lifespans. Stellar-level warriors live up to one eon, Cosmic-level up to ten eons, Domain Lords up to a hundred eons, and World Lords up to a thousand eons! In Earth terms, a World Lord can live over ten million years.”
“Even World Lords will decay under the passage of time!”
“Only beyond World Lord is true Immortality! Immortal experts are also called ‘Eternal Experts’ or ‘Gods’,” Babata’s eyes gleamed. “Once becoming an Immortal, one gains infinite lifespan! My master—he is an Immortal expert!”
Luo Feng held his breath.
Immortal experts?
Planetary, Stellar, Cosmic, Domain Lord, World Lord, Immortal!
“Immortal experts possess countless extraordinary abilities.”
“Even the Celestial Orbital Cannons capable of annihilating entire star systems cannot harm an Immortal expert!” Babata smiled. “Now you should understand why I said that a primitive cosmic nation is nothing more than an ant before my master.”
Luo Feng’s blood boiled.
An attack capable of instantly annihilating a star system? Unable to harm an Immortal expert?
“Don’t think too far.”
“It takes a thousand star systems to naturally produce a single World Lord!”
“Luo Feng, even with my master’s legacy and my assistance, it might take you a hundred thousand years to barely reach the level of a World Lord. But ascending to Immortality? The odds are virtually nonexistent!” Babata gave a slight shake of his head. “Alas, the innate potential of your Earthborn humans is truly lacking. You’re already lagging from the very beginning. To accomplish greatness—difficult! Exceedingly difficult! Nigh impossible!”
Luo Feng couldn’t help but say, “Babata, give me a little encouragement.”
“Hehe,” Babata grinned, revealing two small fangs. “I said ‘almost zero’! Actually, there’s another way to speed up your cultivation tenfold, even a hundredfold.”
“What way?” Luo Feng asked curiously.
“Body Snatching!” Babata smiled mysteriously.
“Body Snatching?”
Luo Feng naturally understood the term.
Babata smiled. “You should have noticed that among Earth humans, when so-called ‘warriors’ appear, their offspring have a higher chance of becoming warriors.”
“That’s right,” Luo Feng nodded.
Warrior offspring are more likely to become warriors! Because their parents’ genetic genes are already perfect, so their children’s genes won’t be far behind!
“This is a kind of evolution,” Babata explained. “Given ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, every Earth human could become an ‘Apprentice-level’ warrior.”
“In the vast universe, there are some human races that have evolved to near perfection,” Babata sighed. “For example, the top ten bloodlines among human races—the Manca race. Although the Manca race is extremely rare in number, every Manca is born at Star-level. In childhood, they usually reach Stellar-level. In adolescence, they become Cosmic-level. Upon adulthood, they are Domain Lords! This is the peak bloodline among human races.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Goodness!
Comparing humans to humans, it was truly infuriating!
All Earth’s humans struggled with intense training, endured hardships, sought every method, encountered countless rare opportunities, and had excellent teachers… Finally, a rare genius reaches Stellar-level!
And them?
They just eat and drink, grow up, and upon adulthood, they’re already Domain Lords, capable of destroying planets with a mere gesture.
“This… this is so unfair!” Luo Feng didn’t know what to say.
“Unfair? That’s because the ancestors of the Manca race cultivated diligently, continuously improving and perfecting their bloodline until it stabilized at that level!” Babata said discontentedly. “Like Earth, without many powerful warriors emerging, your descendants won’t rise in large numbers.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly, his resentment easing.
That’s right. Only when ancestors grow stronger, with higher and more perfect genetic genes, can descendants have even more astonishing potential!
“How many times faster can a Manca race warrior cultivate compared to an Earth human? Can you even imagine?” Babata sneered. “In the Milky Way with over 210,000 inhabited planets, producing a single Cosmic-level warrior is already impressive. But for a Manca, adulthood means Domain Lord!”
“Therefore!”
“If you want to become an Immortal expert, there’s one method—when you grow stronger, seize the body of a powerful bloodline race!” Babata turned to look at the crystal coffin. “You see this? My master’s original body was slightly better than yours, but not by much.”
“Later, through fortunate circumstances, my master used a secret body-snatching technique to seize the body of a young boy from the Ronjun race. The Ronjun race ranks within the top thirty among countless human bloodlines. Upon adulthood, they can reach Cosmic-level! With this new body, my master’s cultivation speed skyrocketed, advancing at an astonishing rate! Even so, my master still faced countless dangers before finally becoming an Immortal expert!”
“Even for the Manca or Ronjun races, becoming an Immortal is difficult! Difficult! Difficult!”
Babata grinned at Luo Feng. “Well? Do you mind body-snatching? Are you reluctant to abandon your own body?”
Luo Feng admitted he was indeed reluctant to leave his own body.
“You’re so foolish!” Babata sighed, casting a disdainful look with his blood-red eyes. “You call yourself a mentalist? Don’t you know that one’s true essence is actually the soul?”
“Forget it.”
“Body-snatching isn’t easy either. You can only take over souls weaker than your own. Encounter a stronger one, and you’ll be destroyed instead,” Babata shook his head. “Unfortunately, Earth humans are too weak. It’s rare to find even one with a brain domain breadth of 22. I can’t expect much from you.”
“Shouldn’t it be 21?” Luo Feng asked.
Babata tapped his small head. “Goodness, you’re as pure as a blank sheet! Did you think a mentalist’s brain domain breadth never increases during their cultivation? When you were at the ninth Apprentice stage, it was 21. But when you broke through to Star-level, a leap in life’s hierarchy, it increased slightly to 22.”
“But don’t get too excited. This number is only decent within the Milky Way system,” Babata shook his head disdainfully. “On some powerful planets or core planets of cosmic nations, there are even Apprentices with brain domain breadths of 30, or even 40!”
“I have no choice. To be precise, I can only choose from Earth.”
“Picking the tallest among dwarfs.”
“So here I am, the mighty Demon Babata, helping out a mere Star-level kid,” Babata raised his head proudly.
