Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

The next morning, as the sun rose, Yang Wu, unbeknownst to anyone except Luo Feng, prepared to leave Earth for the universe. He didn't inform Hong or Lei Shen.

Yang Wu quietly flew into the high altitude, then rapidly pierced through the cumulonimbus clouds, suspending himself at 8000 meters.

Suddenly, a black saucer-shaped spaceship, emblazoned with a giant dragon pattern, materialized out of thin air next to Yang Wu.

As the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's top-tier spaceship, its stealth technology was undoubtedly unquestionable.

Even if it flew right in front of Earth's satellite monitoring devices, it wouldn't be detected.

“Beep!”

The outer hatch opened automatically, and Yang Wu flew into its laser tunnel, passed through the inner gate, and quickly entered the command room.

‘Yang Wu, Demon Babata at your service!’

Babata's avatar appeared on the command room console screen, its crisp, triumphant voice echoing throughout the command room.

‘Babata, activate external scene simulation.’

“Alright—100%.”

Spaceships don't have observation windows; personnel inside can't directly see the outside and must rely on external scene simulation to view it. Yang Wu grinned, sitting in the seat before the console, and directly instructed.

“Roger that!”

With a whoosh, the original console, seats, and floor of the entire command room vanished instantly.

All around were hazy atmospheric layers, offering a clear view of the distant, boundless space.

If Yang Wu couldn't feel the seat beneath him, he would have thought he was already in outer space.

“Babata, let's set off!”

Buzz!

Yang Wu felt only a slight tremor, and his vision began to shift slowly. He knew the spaceship was rapidly piercing the sky, heading towards Earth's outer space.

“Black Dragon spaceship has left Earth.”

Before long, receiving Babata's reminder, Yang Wu couldn't help but turn his seat to look behind him.

A giant, azure planet immediately appeared in his field of vision.

“So beautiful!”

Seeing Earth from space was a first for Yang Wu in both his lives, carefully observing the planet that had nurtured him.

Yang Wu couldn't help but hold his breath.

Although he often saw this scene on the internet and television, the sense of shock when truly leaving Earth in a spaceship and seeing it with his own eyes…

It could touch the soul!

As Earth continued to shrink, and the Black Dragon spaceship moved further and further away, Yang Wu began to feel a sense of inexplicable loneliness.

“Huff…”

“Earth! Universe!”

Yang Wu took a deep breath, instantly suppressing this loneliness, then turned his gaze towards the rear of Earth, to the distant, fiery planet…

The Sun!

And the mysterious yet boundless starry sky, with occasional planets, asteroids, and stardust in the distance.

“10% simulation.”

Whoosh!

The starry sky began to dim, and the originally “disappeared” control room reappeared in his vision.

“This 100% external scene simulation is indeed effective!”

Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim. He had already felt a bit bored and cold just now.

100% external scene simulation is like placing the entire person in the starry sky.

If a person were suspended in the command room, without using mental power to sense or hands to touch, they wouldn't even feel the existence of the control room.

‘Did you bring the two Silver Stream Guards?’

Yang Wu nodded, turning back to see two Silver Stream Guards standing in the corner of the command room.

‘Luo Feng has already awakened and doesn't need the Silver Stream Guards at all, and I left one for his family.’

Babata said, “Taking them with you will avoid some unnecessary trouble.”

“The spaceship is about to reach light speed, preparing to traverse the dark universe!” After a moment, Babata shouted.

Yang Wu looked outside, his naked eyes could no longer see the planets clearly, he could only see the surrounding starry sky completely blurred, and gradually even became dark.

“3! 2! 1!”

In the vast starry sky, a blurred black spaceship suddenly—

Space rippled slightly.

The spaceship disappeared!

In the original universe, the limit speed of matter is the speed of light. Once the speed of light is reached, one will traverse and arrive in the dark universe.

The limit speed of the dark universe is 100 times the speed of light.

Of course, the universe's strongest can break the 100 times the speed of light limit with their words becoming law.

Bang!

The Black Dragon spaceship vibrated slightly for about ten seconds, then stabilized.

“Traverse successful, entered the dark universe.”

“Disable external scene simulation.”

In the dark universe, spaceships traveling at light speed cannot capture external scenes. However, Babata thoughtfully simulated the dark universe's external scene for him.

Some gorgeous scenery appeared on the screen. It was a vast space, filled with beautiful points of light.

‘Flying in the dark universe, the distance is 10081 times that of the original universe. The destination for this trip is Dragon Star, estimated to arrive in 10 days.’

Inside the spaceship, Babata was explaining some universal common sense to Yang Wu.

The destination this time is a prosperous and powerful planet 320,000 light-years away from Earth.

Dragon Star!

This planet is home to various experts and integrates many cosmic civilization races. It is the best place for Babata to broaden Yang Wu's horizons.

Moreover, that kind of place is relatively safe, and barbaric and bloody things rarely happen.

Of course, the prerequisite for everything is that you have money and status, otherwise you don't even have the qualification to enter.

In the dark universe, there is only darkness and points of light. It is very novel at the beginning of the traverse, but it becomes boring over time.

Yang Wu did not waste the remaining time. He asked Babata to tell him some common sense in detail, and what to do when encountering various things on this Dragon Star.

And so, until nine days later.

‘Yang Wu, in half an hour, we can traverse the universe and arrive at Dragon Star!’ Babata suddenly reminded.

In the dark universe, there is no such thing as static matter.

Therefore, as long as the spaceship decelerates to a static state, it can automatically traverse from the dark universe and return to the original universe.

Yang Wu was originally immersed in cultivation, but after being reminded by Babata, he could only temporarily put down his cultivation.

The spaceship gradually decelerated from 12 times the speed of light until it was completely static.

Buzz~~

Yang Wu only felt a slight vibration under his feet, which lasted for more than ten seconds before everything calmed down.

In the vast and boundless starry sky, a blurred black shadow flashed, and a black spaceship appeared out of thin air.

“Universe traverse successful, returned to the original universe.” Babata said.

“External scene simulation, 100%.” Yang Wu said quickly, already impatient to see another life planet.

Whoosh!

Instantly, the command room disappeared. Yang Wu was surrounded by the vast starry sky, and in the distant distance, he could see a planet with colorful lights, with two satellites vaguely around it.

“So beautiful!”

Through the scene displayed by the external scene simulation, Yang Wu sighed in his heart. Judging from this appearance alone, Dragon Star is indeed more beautiful than Earth.

Dragon Star's atmosphere is very peculiar, with various colors of gas clouds slowly flowing, making the entire planet look extremely gorgeous from the outside.

‘That planet is Dragon Star.’

Babata said, “Yang Wu, when we enter Dragon Star later, we will act according to the plan.”

“First, obtain citizenship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.”

“Second, open a virtual network account. I still have some Qian Wu coins in my hand, which are completely enough to register my identity!”

“Okay!”

During the conversation, the Black Dragon spaceship had already accelerated and flew towards Dragon Star in the distance.
