Swallowed Star: The Sacred Eye of Duplication

Late at night, Ye Yun entered the underground training room and slowly took out a Mu Ya crystal, glowing with white light.

The Mu Ya crystal contains a vast amount of energy. In the universe, it is highly valued for cultivating various auxiliary life forms and aiding warriors in their daily practices. The more than 200 pieces Ye Yun received from Babata were quite a considerable amount.

Ye Yun didn't take out the Mu Ya crystal for cultivation purposes. Instead, he activated the Eye of Replication to scan the Mu Ya crystal. Immediately, a 100% replica of the Mu Ya crystal appeared in his sea of consciousness. Ye Yun's consciousness activated the model, and suddenly, invisible cosmic energy gathered in his hands, slowly beginning to form a new Mu Ya crystal.

However, it was not as he expected. The materialization process seemed unusually difficult. He had to concentrate fully to maintain it, and the speed of condensation was very slow. After about an hour and absorbing an unknown amount of cosmic energy, a new Mu Ya crystal finally fully formed in Ye Yun's right hand.

Rubbing his brows to relieve some of the energy he had just lost, Ye Yun gained a deeper understanding of his secret talent.

Previously, when Ye Yun used the Eye of Replication to copy objects, he had a rough understanding of the process, which involves three steps: scanning, copying, and materialization. Each step can be performed separately. When materializing objects, he had also felt that the energy of the universe was transformed into physical objects through a miraculous process. However, it was fast and barely took any of Ye Yun's time, so he hadn't analyzed it deeply. Now, when copying and materializing the powerful Mu Ya crystal, he experienced a different process.

"It seems the materialization process requires a massive amount of energy. Cosmic energy can complete this step, but the quantity is insufficient for the quality. The more advanced the item, the longer it will take. I need to spend more time gathering energy in the future."

At the same time, Ye Yun realized that as the level of the item increases, the burden on his energy also grows. The shorter the materialization process, the better, which increases the demand for high-quality energy.

Looking at the Mu Ya crystal in his hand, an idea sparked in his mind.

His consciousness dove deep into his sea of consciousness, where an exquisite 100% model, small in size, with scarlet devil pupils and double horns, appeared. It was the model of Babata he had seen in the underground of Kirishima!

When they first met, Ye Yun had used the Eye of Replication on Babata, intending to copy some of Babata's secret techniques, experiences, insights, knowledge, and coordinates of the dark universe. He didn't expect that the Eye of Replication would scan Babata's entire being.

Ye Yun's copying ability could not completely replicate a living being; it could only copy talents, secrets, and experiences. However, it had a different effect when applied to Babata. Ye Yun was curious to see the results when Babata's model was materialized.

Ye Yun took out twenty Mu Ya crystals, suspending them aside. He carefully touched the model of Babata with his consciousness while guiding the materialization process with his right hand.

As the materialization began, cosmic energy began to gather on the ground before Ye Yun. Ye Yun felt an immense pressure. After judging the speed of the materialization, he threw a Mu Ya crystal into the mix.

When the white-glowing Mu Ya crystal touched the materialized target, a surge of energy erupted. Under the magical influence of the innate secret method, the energy quickly filled the gaps. In less than a minute, the energy from the Mu Ya crystal was fully consumed, and the materialization was only halfway done.

Ye Yun wasted no time and threw in another Mu Ya crystal. After a while, the light on the Mu Ya crystal gradually dimmed, and the materialization process completed. What remained in front of Ye Yun was a human figure that looked exactly like Babata.

With the energy boost from the Mu Ya crystal, Ye Yun felt much more at ease this time, and his energy consumption wasn't as severe. However, his focus was now on the newly appeared "Babata." He slowly approached it to check its condition.

Before Ye Yun could reach Babata, the figure suddenly opened its eyes, stared at Ye Yun with its scarlet gaze, and then spoke in fluent Chinese.

"Dad!"

Ye Yun nearly lost his balance. After a brief exchange with the new "Babata" who called him "Dad," he finally understood what had happened.

Although Babata was a living being, it was a special type of intelligent life. It had lost its physical body in the previous war and been transformed into a virtual existence. Because of this, the Eye of Replication manifested it in this way.

The new "Babata" copied from the model had the exact same memories as Babata, but there was one difference: this version of Babata was not a life form but rather an intelligent being with emotions, not yet at the level of full sentient life.

Because Ye Yun had created it, the new "Babata" felt an intense connection to him. Under the influence of strong emotions, it regarded Ye Yun as its father. Though it was theoretically fine, Ye Yun still found it a little strange.

Ye Yun looked at the new "Babata" and, still feeling awkward, said, "Can I give you a new name? Also, could you change your appearance?"

The new "Babata" nodded, pleased with the idea of being named. Its form shifted, and the little devil-like image transformed.

In front of Ye Yun now was a large fish, about half a meter long, with an enormous head that took up half its body length. The two front fins were thick, resembling short arms. It looked goofy, with a silly expression as it swam in the air, blowing virtual bubbles from its mouth.

The big fish swam up to Ye Yun and affectionately nudged his chest, still wearing a silly expression. Ye Yun was at a loss for words.

He didn't know why this newly manifested intelligence had taken such a form. Gently holding his forehead, he muttered, "From now on, you'll be called 'Momo Fish!'"

The fish seemed quite pleased with the name. It showed an excited, human-like expression, waving its fins and opening its large mouth.

"Let me, Momoyu, accompany you, Dad, to explore the universe from now on!"

Ye Yun could sense that, although this Momo Fish hadn't reached the level of sentient life, it was already full of emotions. That alone was enough for him. The most valuable aspect of the Momo Fish was its complete memory of Babata, which would be an immense help to Ye Yun for a long time.

Ye Yun patted the fish's head and asked, "Momoyu, do you know the coordinates of the dark universe in this starry sky? If I find a suitable spaceship, could you help me leave this galaxy?"

Momoyu shook its big head slightly.

"Dad, you're mistaken. Leaving Earth is easy with a standard spaceship. But if you want to return, you'll need to find the dark universe coordinates covered by the secret space method, or you won't be able to locate Earth again!"

Ye Yun nodded. His memory was a little hazy, but now, with Momoyu's presence, it wasn't an issue. Hearing Momoyu's confirmation, he felt relieved. One important step was now complete. He just needed a spaceship to venture into the universe.

For the next month, Ye Yun stayed in his villa, preparing to acquire a spaceship.

When Luo Feng returned from his first training, Ye Yun met up with him, Wei Wen, and Luo Hua, who had recovered. Ye Yun didn't say much in response to Luo Feng's thanks. Instead, he handed Wei Wen a black fruit he'd obtained from Hong's treasure house.

This fruit was the "Spirit of Plants," containing powerful vitality. While it wasn't of much use to planetary-level warriors, it could greatly enhance the life resilience of apprentice-level warriors, improve their physical fitness, and indirectly boost their potential, increasing the likelihood of reaching the planetary level.

The key was that if you soaked this fruit in water and drank it regularly, it could improve your physical fitness in a gentle way. Even an ordinary person could achieve the physical fitness of a warrior after a few months of drinking it.

Ye Yun had chosen this fruit specifically with Wei Wen in mind. His goal was to help Wei Wen reach the warrior level without any side effects at this stage, ensuring his mindset remained unaffected.

Ye Yun's achievements, along with his graduation from the elite training camp, gave Luo Feng a rough idea of Ye Yun's level. However, Luo Feng wasn't discouraged. He was genuinely happy for Ye Yun, and a desire to surpass him arose in his heart. This sense of determination only fueled his motivation to become stronger.

After more than a month, Ye Yun was fully prepared. With accurate information in hand, he didn't worry much about the upcoming visit to Ruins No. 12. His main focus was obtaining the spaceship, and he didn't want to waste time.

On October 3, Ye Yun boarded the king-class intelligent fighter jet "Ada" and flew rapidly toward the Hawaiian Islands. After more than 20 minutes, the fighter jet came to a slow stop in the air. Below them was an endless expanse of dark sea. Ruins No. 12 lay beneath the water.

Ye Yun leaped from the fighter jet, his Black God suit covering his entire body. Like a nimble black fish, he swiftly moved toward the depths of the sea.
