In the 9200th year of the Blue Star calendar, on an unknown star in an unknown star field

, a small survival base is standing here. Perhaps this cannot be considered a survival base, but just an outpost for exploring the starry sky.

This outpost is more than 20 light years away from the nearest survival base, and their main function is to be a transfer station for various information.

Life here is also extremely difficult. Even supplies can only be transported once every 100 years. Similarly, personnel can only be rotated once every 100 years. The real long-term garrison is those lifeless robots.

"Ding ding..."

It's another day's work time, and the sound of beeping sounded on the computer screen today.

"The Star Path 18 probe has entered the Star System 88 of Star A and is conducting exploration..."

"Please note to record the data. The Star System 88 of Star A is a pre-life star system. The probability of having planets with life is very high..."

"The probe has been fully deployed and has continued to move deeper at a constant speed. It is 0.2 light years away from the first celestial body in the Star System 88 of Star A..."

"..."

More than a dozen staff members at the outpost began their day's work. Their job is to collect and record various data on this star field. Blue Star has already built hundreds of outposts similar to theirs. The cost of this kind of project is very terrifying, and the funds are spent like water every year.

"Pop"

Three days later, a screen in the base suddenly went black, and the artificial intelligence sounded an alarm.

"The Star Map 18 probe has lost contact. It was conducting self-maintenance 24 Blue Planets before the loss of contact. The cause of the loss of contact is unknown..."

"Activate the backup probe and dispatch Star Map 19..."

The loss of contact with the probe did not panic everyone. Anything could happen in the universe. This was not the first time. They quickly launched the backup probe and dispatched Planet 19 to take over the work of Star Map 18.

"Pop"

However, half a month later, when the Star Map 19 probe arrived at the previous position of Planet 18, it suddenly lost contact again.

This result made everyone a little suspicious. They did not continue to dispatch the probe, but instead contacted the survival base in the rear and requested support.

Blue Star, China

When Xia Qingshan appeared, Lin Jiang was no longer surprised.

"Something has been discovered in the Jiaxing Star Region"

"I know, I have sent the Jiaxing No. 6 Survival Base to investigate, and there will be unmanned small warships going there. According to the current information, there is a high probability that there are life planets in the Jiaxing Star Region, especially this No. 88 star system, which is very likely to be your hometown" "

In this case, why not go all out? With the current strength of Blue Star, it shouldn't be difficult to go to a star region about 200 light years away,"

Xia Qingshan said. His memory was a little confused. He remembered that his hometown should be more than 100 light years away, but now it is almost 200 light years away.

But it doesn't matter. Whether it is his hometown or not, even if it is a planet like Jiangxing, he needs it very much. He can't wait to become a five-star immortal.

"You are familiar with the situation on Lingqing Star in recent years. The Buddhist sect has begun to send people to test it. How dare I send out masters? What if we go to a place more than 200 light years away and something happens to Lingqing Star?"

"We can ask for help from the Heavenly Court."

"Don't you want to repay the favor after asking for help? In the past two or three hundred years, we have earned hundreds of billions of top-grade spirit stones from Canglan Star. Do you know how much price we have to pay for such a favor?"

"Lin Jiang, my business is the most important. You don't take me seriously."

Xia Qingshan became anxious and shouted angrily. Isn't his business worth that little favor?

"Xia Qingshan, how many times must I emphasize that Blue Star needs order and rules, and everything must be done according to the rules. We have waited for hundreds of years, so a few decades won't make a difference."

"No, I order you to find out the news about the 88th star system of Planet A as quickly as possible, or don't blame me for doing it myself and disrupting your position."

"Humph, Xia Qingshan, there's nothing to talk about if you're like this. I know you can control a lot of things, but how many masters above the level of He Dao on Blue Star will listen to you? Without us going out to fight, what can you do to Lingyun Star?"

"You..."

Xia Qingshan was a little choked up. Yes, he didn't have much to do, unless he was sure that he could beat the immortals of Lingyun Star and forcefully occupy it, but that would be very risky because the enemy would have a planet of creatures to sacrifice.

"Then tell me, what do you think will make you take this seriously?"

"I have always taken it seriously, you know how much money has been spent and how many people have died in order to find Lingyun Star over the years."

Lin Jiang replied. Space exploration is a very dangerous thing. In the past few thousand years, there have been many accidents in the space exploration projects of Blue Star, and many people have died. These are high-tech talents, and it costs a lot of money to train one of them.

"Speak human words, I don't like to beat around the bush."

​​"Okay, if you say so, then I will tell you that it is no problem to help you take down Lingyun Star, but I need someone to pass the tribulation."

"Pass the tribulation, that's it?"

"Yes, pass the tribulation, it's not a big problem, right?"

"Not big, this is what I promised you a long time ago."

Xia Qingshan nodded. This is what he promised a long time ago. He needs allies to go to the Heavenly Court to find out the truth and deal with the Emperor of Heaven.

"What I want is a breakthrough before we capture Lingyun Star."

"You..."

"Xia Qingshan, to be honest, you don't trust me, and I don't trust you. I've done a lot for you, and I need to get some substantial benefits."

"Who do you want to help Blue Star cross the tribulation?"

"Of course it's Cao Ying. Cao Ying is the first person on Blue Star to cross the tribulation period. He has the deepest cultivation and has suppressed his cultivation for many years."

"No, change someone else."

"Who do you want me to change, the Demon Queen, the Divine Martial Demon Emperor, the Fire Scale Demon Emperor, or myself? Except for a few of us, the others are not strong enough to cross the tribulation period."

"This..."

Xia Qingshan was speechless for a moment, as if it was indeed the case. There were a few more people on Blue Star who had crossed the tribulation period in the past two hundred years, but their foundation was too weak. Even Li Qing didn't count. It seemed that Cao Ying was the only qualified candidate.

"Okay, then let Cao Ying pass the tribulation, but let me make it clear first, if Cao Ying fails to pass the tribulation, don't blame me, I will take away her Tao Yun,"

Xia Qingshan said. The probability of successfully passing the tribulation is very low, and there are many people who fail. This is why there are hundreds of tribulation periods on those Buddhist planets at the same time. It's not that they don't want to pass the tribulation and become true Buddhas, but the probability is too low, and they must be fully prepared.

"Why blame you for failing to pass the tribulation? Am I the kind of person who tries to cheat?"

"When will Cao Ying be arranged to pass the tribulation?"

"Not soon, I will talk to Cao Ying once, and then arrange for her to go into seclusion, at least three to five years, at most twenty to thirty years"

"Too long"

"This time is not long"

"Humph"

Xia Qingshan snorted helplessly, which was regarded as tacit agreement. This is indeed not long. There are many people who prepare for thousands of years to pass the tribulation.

After Xia Qingshan left, Lin Jiang called Cao Ying back. Cao Ying has been the president of a university in recent years. Because of her identity, other presidents in China are almost mad at her, because universities need resources, and other presidents cannot compete with Cao Ying.

"Let me retreat to overcome the tribulation?"

Cao Ying was still very surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, retreat to overcome the tribulation"

"No need to retreat, I can overcome the tribulation at any time"

"You still have to retreat, it's foolproof, you can only succeed, not fail"

"Okay, I'll listen to you"

"So, I'll hand over the work to you in three months, is that okay?"

"No problem, at most I can let a substitute do it"

Cao Ying nodded, but her eyes were a little worried, she had realized that something was wrong.

"Okay, then I won't disturb you from work, go and prepare, I'll prepare too, overcoming the tribulation is a big deal"

Lin Jiang said with a smile, overcoming the tribulation is a big deal, a very big deal, it concerns their life and death.
