Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 26

On his way back, Lu Yunhe notified Dong Nanbiao to pick him up, so as to avoid a lot of trouble when entering the city. After all, without Ultraman's clone, he had lost those convenient abilities.

"Yunhe, you're finally back!"

Seeing Lu Yunhe alive again, Dong Nanbiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

During Lu Yunhe's disappearance, certain individuals with ulterior motives never ceased their probing. After all, exploring the ruins of a civilization is an extremely dangerous undertaking; a moment's carelessness could mean the death of even the world's first human.

It was only thanks to Dong Nanbiao's god-like strength and Jia Yi's help that they were able to barely suppress those restless undercurrents.

But now things are fine; all the conspiracies will vanish once Lu Yunhe returns safely.

Upon hearing Dong Nanbiao's account, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but chuckle: "The Great Cataclysm has been going on for several years, and it's still the same old story."

However, considering the experiences of Luo Feng's family on Earth in the original novel, it's not surprising. The Great Cataclysm only increased the average power level of humanity; it couldn't improve their moral standards.

As Lu Yunhe chatted with Dong Nanbiao, he looked down at the city through the helicopter.

The overall situation is not much different from before he left, after all, he has only been gone for less than half a year. The biggest difference is probably that the whole city has a more thriving and hopeful atmosphere.

Everyone is working hard to build this city. Whenever Lu Yunhe sees this scene, his silent heart feels much better, knowing that his efforts have not been in vain and that this world is still worthwhile.

As for why he was speechless, it was naturally because his strength was growing far faster than his schemes. An ant baring its fangs and claws at a giant and plotting tricks would leave the latter speechless; even glancing at them would be a waste of his time.

"Give!"

While they were chatting, Lu Yunhe suddenly tossed a black bracelet and a white crystal to Dong Nanbiao.

"This is?"

Dong Nanbiao caught the two items, feeling somewhat puzzled, and also wondering how they had ended up in Lu Yunhe's hands.

"A gift I brought back from a long trip, a bracelet on my wrist, which Mu Yajing ate directly."

Lu Yunhe quickly said, "With these two things, you can defeat any earth monster."

"?"

Dong Nanbiao was a little confused, but he still obediently put the black bracelet on his hand first.

Before long, the black bracelet suddenly began to boil like water, with black droplets trembling continuously.

Dong Nanbiao felt as if his skin was being pricked by needles, and the black bracelet began to shrink, tightly wrapping around his wrist.

At the same time, visible to the naked eye, traces of blood seeped into the black gloves, and the originally large bracelet seemed to be constantly merging into Dong Nanbiao's skin.

As a Tier 1 Force weapon, the Black God Set can exist in any form, such as bracelets, vests, gloves, etc., and the entire recognition process takes about 15 minutes.

"what is this?"

The Black God Set's master recognition process opened the eyes of the naive Dong Nanbiao.

"You can call it the Black God Suit. Once you put it on, you'll generally survive unless you stand still and let a King-level monster hammer you."

After watching Dong Nanbiao consume Mu Yajing, Lu Yunhe said, "With your current strength, you should be able to surpass the God of War within a month or two after consuming Mu Yajing."

At this time, the Black God Set had not yet appeared on a large scale, and the Muya Crystal was an absolute secret. Even Dong Nanbiao, with his status, did not know about these two items.

"……sharp!"

Hearing Lu Yunhe's words, Dong Nanbiao was speechless for a moment. Why was someone who surpassed the God of War described as being as simple as becoming a martial artist?

"Thank you!"

Feeling the energy continuously released from Muya Crystal within his body, Dong Nanbiao seemed to have nothing else to say but thank you.

What he did was completely disproportionate to the price Lu Yunhe paid.

In a daze, Dong Nanbiao suddenly realized that the joke Lu Yunhe had made to him after killing the Blood Demon Wolf King seemed to have become a reality.

Hearing Dong Nanbiao's words, Lu Yunhe didn't care at all; these things were nothing to him. After all, the other party had indeed helped him a lot during this period, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"arrive!"

As Lu Yunhe looked down at the approaching villa, he grabbed Dong Nanbiao and jumped out of the helicopter.

Chapter 41 Distribution

boom!

Lu Yunhe gently landed on the lawn in front of the villa with Dong Nanbiao. After he became a martial artist, the biggest change for his parents was probably in their daily lives.

After all, these are just low-value items, not something to be taken advantage of in a place like this.

"Who's coming?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Lu Hong, the father, quickly came out. When Lu Yunhe returned, he had only notified Dong Nanbiao to come pick him up; he had not yet informed the family.

"Yunhe!"

The father, Lu Hong, was also quite excited to see his son finally return. After all, he had been gone for half a year, and anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had been taken away for a biopsy.

With Lu Yunhe gone, they felt uneasy living in this luxurious villa, as if it had fallen from the sky.

"Yunhe is back!"

Father Lu Hong called out to the house, then strode forward: "Yunhe, Brother Dong, it's still the three of you. Please come in and have a seat!"

"Three people?"

Upon hearing Lu Hong's words, Dong Nanbiao was instantly dumbfounded. Weren't there only him and Lu Yunhe? Where did these three come from?

Then Dong Nanbiao looked behind him and, sure enough, there were two men and one woman, three men in black, who appeared behind them.

"Dad, this is the bodyguard I hired. He will be in charge of your safety from now on."

Lu Yunhe spoke up, explaining that the three people who suddenly appeared were naturally the three Silver Guardians he had obtained. After Delacion cracked their intelligent programs, he had taken them with him.

With the three Silver Guardians, virtually no one on Earth could harm my parents anymore. After all, they were robots capable of dealing with stellar-level beings, and they were specifically created to protect people.

"How shall we address you three?"

Since it was his son who hired the bodyguard, Lu Hong was naturally at ease. Thinking that they might be living together in the future, he quickly asked for his name.

"All three of them are robots, but they are equipped with highly intelligent systems. If you encounter any problems or troubles, just go to them!"

Lu Yunhe laughed and said, "As for names, you can just call them Flowing Gold, Flowing Silver, and Flowing Copper."

"Gold, Silver, Bronze, what casual names."

Dong Nanbiao, who was standing next to him, made a comment, realizing that these robots and the Black God Set in his hand must have been obtained by Lu Yunhe from the ruins of civilization.

A short while later, Chen Ya, the mother, and Lu Mingyuan, the younger brother, also rushed out of the room.

Dong Nanbiao, being sensible, drank a cup of tea and then left Lu Yunhe's house, saying he had something to take care of, leaving the family of four to reunite.

With Dong Nanbiao gone, Lu Yunhe's parents and younger brother immediately began asking him about his experiences during this time, as well as the problems they had encountered.

Lu Yunhe picked out a few experiences that were barely believable to talk about, after all, he couldn't very well say that he had gone to Mars and even cultivated on the sun...

As for the problems my parents have encountered during this time, I imagine that once they know he's back, someone will handle them and give him an explanation.

As for the next time, the stellar-class Flowing Silver Guardians, in conjunction with Delacion's intelligent subsystem, will resolve all the troubles encountered on Earth.

"Now that I'm back, I probably won't be going out again anytime soon."

When asked about his next plans at home, Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment. After reaching the planetary level, Earth's resources would not be enough for him to make a breakthrough in a short time, so he naturally had no plans to go out and gain experience.

Lu Yunhe placed his chance to break through to the stellar level on the Divine Tree clone. As for cultivating on his own, advancing from the planetary level to the stellar level was somewhat unrealistic.

"well!"

Hearing that Lu Yunhe was planning to stay longer, his parents breathed a sigh of relief. They were indeed a little panicked without Lu Yunhe's support, as their status depended on their son.

Seeing his family members breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Yunhe smiled and instructed his Divine Tree clone to collect items that could upgrade his parents to the Planetary level as soon as possible.

Once you have your own strength, you are no longer a rootless duckweed.

As for his younger brother Lu Mingyuan, Lu Yunhe has his own plans. There's no need to improve his strength so quickly; let him temper his temperament first.

Given Earth's unique characteristics, it's not a good thing to improve one's strength too quickly at a young age. The best time to become a martial artist is actually when one is an adult. In any case, according to the concept of time in the Devouring Stars, a few years earlier or later doesn't matter at all. Once you reach the planetary level, you have a lifespan of 1000 years.

After the family of four had a peaceful dinner, Jia Yi went to find Lu Yunhe the next day with a wry smile on his face.

"Brother Yunhe..."

Jia Yi smiled bitterly. The great catastrophe had just ended, and some people were already so restless. The most important thing was that he had to clean up their mess.

There's no way around it; Jia Yi is currently the strongest person in the country besides Lu Yunhe, and the only pillar of support.

"Has everything been resolved?"

Lu Yunhe, sunbathing on the lawn, interrupted Jia Yi's rambling. He had originally planned to salvage the discovered spaceships, but now he thought better of it. Sometimes, slowing down development wasn't so bad; there was no rush anyway.

The catastrophe was too short-lived; it left far too little time for people to change their mindset and perspectives. We'll have to wait until the next generation to see what happens.

"They're all sentenced to death, and I carried out the executions myself," Jia Yi said solemnly. "In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary; we can no longer allow anyone to harbor any illusions."

"Ok!"

Lu Yunhe nodded. Although he didn't speak, the influence of his consciousness level, which had already reached the stellar level, and the genetic level of the cosmic peak race from his clone, still made Jia Yi, who was standing next to him, very nervous.

"Lu Yunhe has become stronger and more unfathomable since this trip. I wonder how much he has gained from those ancient ruins?"

Jia Yi was greatly alarmed. If Lu Yunhe had previously given him the impression of a childlike nature, now he seemed like a ferocious cosmic beast lurking there, which meant that the other party's strength far exceeded his imagination.

"Never mind, as long as it's resolved!"

Lu Yunhe patted Jia Yi on the shoulder, making the latter relax completely, and at the same time he found that there was another thing in his hand.

"Muya Jing!"

As someone who had consumed this substance, Jia Yi naturally recognized the crystal in his hand that emitted the fragrance of rice. It was a treasure that could allow a war god to easily break through to the planetary level, making it arguably one of the most valuable items on Earth at that time.

Having a Wood Crystal is equivalent to guaranteeing at least one Planetary-level martial artist, which is of great strategic value in this era.

"Thank you!"

Jia Yi watched Lu Yunhe walk away and gave him a sincere salute.

Sensing Jia Yi's action, Lu Yunhe waved his hand. Jia Yi, Dong Nanbiao, and this wooden crystal were equivalent to three planetary-level martial artists.

With him in charge, plus three planetary-level martial artists, it would be barely enough in this era. Moreover, with Jia Yi and Dong Nanbiao as tools, he wouldn't have to handle everything, which would reduce a lot of trouble.
