Year 2060 of Earth calendar.
Luo Feng Broke Through to become a Planetary Level, and at Babata's urging, exchanged Muya Crystals for various Materials to build a spaceship capable of traversing the Dark Universe.
Originally, he was supposed to go to the Universe to inherit the bank account left by his teacher.
However, a giant beast controlling lightning, leading numerous marine beasts, attacked a war Fortress on the American Continent.
Among those marine beasts were many Pinnacle Rank beasts and two Beast Emperors.
If it were just marine beasts, the American Continent's war Fortress, with the support of God of War Palace council-level powerhouses, could still cope.
But the problem was that the giant beast controlling lightning led the marine beasts, and Earth's strongest technological weapon, the laser cannon, couldn't even break the beast's scales.
Afterward, Earth's five major nations and the HR Alliance, along with many powerhouses from the God of War Palace, held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the terrifying Thunder Beast.
Based on the information provided by Babata and ancient civilizations, Earth's major forces and many powerhouses confirmed that the one leading the marine beasts was a Stellar Rank Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast is a top-tier Space Beast bloodline, reaching Domain Master upon adulthood, capable of easily killing all life on an ordinary life planet.
Later, with Babata's assistance, Luo Feng, Hong, Thor, and others obtained a B6-class laser cannon from an alien ancient civilization ruin, capable of killing a Thunder Beast that had just become Stellar Rank.
Luo Feng and the others devised a precise plan, and the plan was very successful; they successfully used the B6-class laser cannon to heavily wound the Thunder Beast.
Just as they were about to press their advantage, an even more terrifying Golden-Horned Beast arrived!
...
"Babata, didn't you say that Space Beasts are extremely rare, and one Space Beast might never encounter another in its lifetime?"
Thinking of this, Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "But how could Earth have two Space Beasts appear at once, and at the same time?"
"How would I know that?"
Babata rolled his eyes, took a bite of a bright red fruit, and said unhappily, "Space Beasts are already very rare. For your Earth to have one is already good luck; to have two is simply hitting the jackpot."
"I don't think it's a good thing for Earth to have two Space Beasts," Luo Feng said gravely.
"That's only because you Earthlings are too weak."
Babata sighed, "You must know, countless planets in the Universe hope that a young Space Beast can descend upon their planet, because this represents a huge fortune.
"Just a Space Beast of the Thunder Beast's top-tier bloodline possesses many precious Legacy knowledge. One Thunder Beast alone could buy dozens of galaxies.
"The Golden-Horned Beast is even more precious. Not only is it one of the Twelve Pinnacle bloodlines of Space Beasts, but it also has the life-saving ability of a Talent Clone, making it the best choice for Possession!"
Speaking of this, Babata's voice lowered, "If master had undergone Possession of a Golden-Horned Beast, he wouldn't have possibly fallen."
Luo Feng fell silent upon hearing this.
Having successfully undergone Possession of the Golden-Horned Beast, he knew just how Heaven-Defying the Golden-Horned Beast was. Just the innate secret technique 'Clone' could drive many powerhouses mad.
Not to mention, the Golden-Horned Beast also possessed precious Legacy memories, extremely high Law Aptitude, and a powerful body!
All these combined made the Golden-Horned Beast very terrifying, and also as rare as Babata said.
However, Luo Feng's Heart sank when he thought of saving Earth.
To kill the Golden-Horned Beast and the Thunder Beast, Earth paid a huge price.
Earth's strongest powerhouse—Hong, fell!
Earth's second strongest powerhouse—Thor, his Soul was severely wounded and he fell into a deep sleep.
Many councilors and powerful members fell due to burning their Souls to use auxiliary secret techniques, assisting Hong and Thor.
Even Luo Feng himself gave his all, first using a Soul attack to make the heavily wounded Thunder Beast fall into a deep sleep, then risking his life to undergo Possession of the Golden-Horned Beast.
Fortunately, after a near-death experience, he successfully underwent Possession of the Golden-Horned Beast, otherwise Earth would truly be as Babata said...
Gone!
"Speaking of which, your Earth is truly peculiar."
Babata collected his emotions, took another bite of the fruit, and sighed with emotion, "An aboriginal planet without a System of Legacy, it's one thing for two Planetary-Level Domain Genius to be born, but two Space Beasts actually appeared."
Luo Feng frowned slightly, pondering Babata's words.
He remembered that Babata once said that a Planetary-Level Domain Genius was extremely rare, and an intermediate universe country might only produce one every tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands to millions of years.
Every Planetary-Level Domain Genius would be highly valued by the major forces of an intermediate universe country and would be recruited upon their appearance.
The Yun Mo Planet Sect, due to having no fixed territory, had never even recruited a Planetary-Level Domain Genius.
After thinking for a while, Luo Feng felt that perhaps everything was a coincidence.
However, it was precisely because of Hong and Thor, these two Planetary-Level Domain Genius, and their desperate fight for Earth, that Earth was able to overcome the Space Beast crisis!
"Your Earthlings have too poor Aptitude. Only you, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor, have good talent. Everyone else's talent is too far behind."
Babata finished the fruit, shook his head, and said, "It's one thing for their talent to be poor, but some people's Heart is also very ordinary, and their behavior is too unsightly!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng immediately recalled that after he, his elder brother, second brother, and others desperately fought and defeated the Golden-Horned Beast and Thunder Beast for Earth, Earth fell into turmoil.
Due to the loss of all councilors and several powerful members, many ambitious individuals stepped forward, wanting to seize the wealth and resources of the fallen powerhouses.
Fortunately, the Extreme Martial Club and Thunder Dojo still had councilor powerhouses who managed to retrieve Hong and Thor's bodies, which to some extent reduced the intensity of the turmoil.
But even so, many people on Earth still died, and even his Family was threatened.
This caused Luo Feng to go on a killing spree upon his return. All councilors who dared to covet the wealth and resources of Earth's heroes were personally killed by him!
Luo Feng looked at the increasingly distant azure planet and asked, "Babata, you said if I had acted earlier, would my elder brother not have died?"
"If you had listened to me, taken your, Hong's, and Thor's families off Earth, and then invited Universe powerhouses back to kill the Golden-Horned Beast and Thunder Beast, Hong wouldn't have died."
Speaking of this, Babata got angry, "But you didn't listen to me, you insisted on fighting the Golden-Horned Beast and Thunder Beast to the death!"
He had urged Luo Feng to build a spaceship and go to the Universe to inherit his master's bank account, then become the lord of Earth as the discoverer, and then buy some slaves to guard Earth.
With the bank account left by his master, even if it was just a backup account, Luo Feng could purchase a large number of Stellar Rank slaves, and then guarding Earth would be effortless.
With the identity of Earth's lord, other Universe adventurers would not be allowed to enter Earth without Luo Feng's permission, which could better protect Earth's secrets.
You must know that there is a Zerg Mother Nest on Earth, which was a treasure that his master painstakingly acquired, and it was precisely because of the Zerg Mother Nest that his master offended a King-level Immortal and fell.
Thinking of this, Babata's mood was very low, but when he saw Luo Feng, his mood improved a lot.
Although Luo Feng was a bit stubborn and disobedient, having undergone Possession of the Golden-Horned Beast, he had enormous potential to become an Immortal powerhouse in the future.
Under his careful guidance, Luo Feng had a very high chance of becoming an Immortal stronger than the King Devil Hand.
But before that, he planned to find a backer for Luo Feng, as it wouldn't do to struggle alone in the Universe. If his master had the Lord of Ganwu as a backer, how would the King Devil Hand dare to attack his master?!
"Luo Feng."
Babata suddenly called out, "When we reach Red Leaf Star, remember to listen to me."
"No problem." Luo Feng nodded.
He knew very little about the Universe, and Babata had followed his teacher Hu Yan Bo on his adventures in the Universe for tens of millions of years, his experience was countless times richer than his.
In these aspects, listening to Babata was definitely correct.
"Hmm, you should study the Universe common language well during this time. I'll notify you when we reach Red Leaf Star." Babata saw this and nodded in satisfaction. Luo Feng nodded again, then began to diligently study the Universe common language.
Although the optical computer had a translation function, it included all well-known languages and could perform real-time voice translation.
But according to Babata, anyone who ventured into the Universe without knowing the common Universe language would be like a bumpkin, easily looked down upon and even bullied by others.
Luo Feng didn't want to invite trouble, so learning the common Universe language was imperative.
...
A month later.
In the control room of the C-class spaceship in the Dark Universe.
"Luo Feng, there are 10 minutes left until the Universe shuttle, arriving at Red Leaf Star," Babata suddenly said.
"Finally, we're almost there." Luo Feng's face showed anticipation.
Red Leaf Star had the medicine to heal his second brother's Soul, and also many Cultivation resources for the Golden-Horned Beast. As long as he had money, all of this could be obtained.
"Money!"
Luo Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "Babata, I remember you said that parking a spaceship on a planet also requires money, and I don't have any currency on me."
The Universe is vast; the Azurewood Empire alone governs tens of thousands of galaxies, and there are billions of life planets.
He was wealthy on Earth, but the powerful Azurewood Empire didn't recognize Earth currency, and might not even recognize the currency of the Silver-Blue Empire!
"You don't have any, but I do," Babata shouted, "Although the bank card master left you is useless, as it's bound to a mental imprint.
"But master also left some coins, which he carried with him. Sometimes, coin change also has some uses."
"Coins?" Luo Feng was startled.
"Yes, I just checked the spatial ring and found 932 Ganwu Coin," Babata said.
"932 money? What can that buy?" Luo Feng was a bit speechless, he was truly too poor.
"What do you know! This is Ganwu Coin, not Azurewood coin, and certainly not the worthless silver-blue coin."
Babata said grumpily, "These Ganwu Coin will be enough for you to get by on Red Leaf Star for a while."
"Is Ganwu Coin very valuable?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"Of course. The Ganwu Universe Country governs tens of thousands of intermediate universe country, and the Azurewood Empire is just one of the tens of thousands of intermediate universe country."
Babata explained, "Currency issued by a behemoth like the Ganwu Universe Country is universally accepted throughout the entire Ganwu Universe Country and all the intermediate universe country it governs."
"In various Universe Country official places, Ganwu Coin can be exchanged for Azurewood coin, and Azurewood coin can also be exchanged for silver-blue coin."
"However, conversely, silver-blue coin cannot be exchanged for Azurewood coin, and Azurewood coin cannot be exchanged for Ganwu Coin."
Finally, Babata added, "Of course, in the black market, reverse exchange is possible."
Luo Feng nodded slightly; he understood this principle.
If Earth entered the Universe, and one brought Universe currency to Earth, some high-ranking Earth officials would naturally be happy to exchange it.
But to exchange US dollars or China currency for Universe currency? Would the Universe Country agree?
As for reverse exchange in the black market, the exchange rate would be at least twice that of the official positive exchange, because the black market's purpose is to make money, not charity.
During their conversation, the spaceship gradually came to a halt, then exited the Dark Universe.
Luo Feng was not surprised by this, as Babata had already explained Dark Universe knowledge to him when the spaceship first entered the Dark Universe.
"Universe shuttle successful, returning to the Original Universe," Babata said.
"Exterior virtual view, 100%." Luo Feng quickly said.
Swish!
Luo Feng immediately saw the vast Starry Sky around him, and what caught his eye most was a beautiful, fiery red planet emitting light in the distant front.
This planet was surrounded by multiple satellites, and numerous spaceships trailing streams of light could vaguely be seen entering and exiting, a scene of prosperity.
"This is Red Leaf Star, one of the most prosperous planets in the Azurewood Empire."
Babata reminded, "Luo Feng, remember to act according to the plan after entering Red Leaf Star. If you have any questions, ask me secretly."
"No problem." Luo Feng nodded.
Isn't it just pretending to be a Family scion?
His status on Earth was extremely high, so his temperament and demeanor were naturally not bad. It would be easy to disguise himself as a scion of a large Family.
As they spoke, the spaceship accelerated towards the distant Azurewood Star.
Luo Feng stood in the spaceship's control room, with the exterior view virtually displayed, clearly seeing the spaceship approaching Red Leaf Star.
As he got closer to Red Leaf Star, his expression subtly changed as he noticed that each of the satellites had densely packed muzzles.
These were not satellites at all; they were clearly war Fortress!
"Just defensive satellites, don't find it strange."
Babata, seeing this, explained, "Red Leaf Star is where the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company's Azurewood Empire Branch is located, so Red Leaf Star has many precious medicines, weapons, and armor, making it an important place.
"It's normal for such an important place to have defensive satellites. It's said that World Master are permanently stationed on Red Leaf Star, and occasionally Immortal appear."
Luo Feng nodded upon hearing this; he now understood the uniqueness and importance of Red Leaf Star.
According to what Babata said before, in an intermediate universe country, a World Master is considered a Pinnacle powerhouse. Even the Golden-Horned Beast, one of the Twelve Pinnacle bloodlines of Space Beasts, only reaches World Master at its Pinnacle.
"Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company..." Luo Feng remembered this name.
A single Azurewood Universe Country Branch could have a World Master permanently stationed there, with Immortal appearing from time to time, showing the power of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company.
What's more terrifying is that Babata had said before that the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company monopolizes over ninety percent of the Universe's medicine business, making it an absolutely super force comparable to, or even surpassing, the Ganwu Universe Country!
...
The spaceship continued to fly, nearing Red Leaf Star's atmosphere.
"Beep!"
"Receiving a tractor beam signal." Babata said, "Luo Feng, the spaceship will follow the tractor beam signal to the planet's docking port."
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
He had also heard Babata say that upon arriving at a planet, it was absolutely impossible for your spaceship to fly around freely; it had to enter a docking port.
If one was as powerful as a Domain Master or World Master, perhaps they could force their way onto an ordinary planet, but on Red Leaf Star, even an Immortal wouldn't dare to act recklessly!
Because here was...
The Branch of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company!
