    Chapter 798: The Bald Head

    In the year 7450 of the Xia calendar of Blue Star, Jiang Star.

    The birth of a large number of newborns on Jiang Star has quickly pushed the population over two million, with more than two million people scattered across Jiang Star, where there is still plenty of land and few people.

    However, the various industries on Jiang Star continue to develop vigorously because there are millions of robots that handle most of the labor, allowing the two million plus people to live happily.

    "Life on Jiang Star is wonderful! The abundance of resources has reduced conflicts between people by ninety percent. Over hundreds of years on Jiang Star, there have only been thirteen serious criminal cases, which is a frighteningly low crime rate. If there is an Immortal Kingdom in the world, it must be Jiang Star."

    "With enough resources, many conflicts can be avoided, that’s for sure. Huaxia on Blue Star is already quite large; in fact, a population of ten billion is not too much, but the distribution of resources is uneven…"

    "Jiang Star’s future hope should not follow the old path of Blue Star, otherwise we might be the last happy humans of Jiang Star…"

    The leaders of Jiang Star discussed the present and future of Jiang Star during the mid-year meeting. Right now, Jiang Star is a world full of beauty and happiness, with a very low crime rate, because the people’s anger is small, and their confidence comes from the abundant resources of Jiang Star.

    "Don’t be too sentimental about this. Don’t forget, even if you immigrate to Jiang Star, your ID still shows the address of Huaxia Jiang Star. Our homeland spent countless resources to develop Jiang Star, not just for a few million of us to enjoy, but for Huaxia’s billions of people…"

    Lin Guobin said seriously to everyone that travel between Jiang Star and Blue Star is very difficult. Even if the Interstellar Teleportation Array expands again, it will still take over a hundred years to make one trip, resulting in a round trip taking over three hundred years.

    The saying "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away" means that the new generation of Jiang Star people easily develop a sense of ownership, and this is exactly what Lin Guobin and the others do not want to see. They must control this thinking; otherwise, Jiang Star will separate from Blue Star.

    Lin Guobin knows how much Huaxia invested in developing the Jiang Star project. They have not even recovered one ten-thousandth of their investment, so how could they allow this to happen?

    Lin Guobin continued the meeting, discussing some adjustments to the industrial structure. Because Jiang Star is too far from Blue Star, the industrial structure there must be adjusted to bring back the most valuable resources to Blue Star.

    For example, the Spiritual Stone Mine that appeared in Jiang Star is currently being mined on a large scale. It is one of the most valuable resources to be sent back to Blue Star. As for other resources, they are similar to spiritual medicine, as the journey takes over three hundred years, just enough time for a batch of three to four stage spiritual medicine to mature. With the vastness of Jiang Star, there is enough to fill a whole cargo hold.

    After the meeting, everyone left, but Ye Chen quietly came in. Officially, Ye Chen had already gone back to Blue Star with Genesis V, but in reality, he stayed behind.

    "Elder Ye"

    "The new generation of Jiang Star is developing its own ideas very quickly. They have forgotten their roots and must be punished; Jiang Star must be firmly controlled."

    Ye Chen said directly that Jiang Star has been developing for hundreds of years. Although the new generation population of Jiang Star is not large, just a few hundred thousand, they are very active and constantly encouraging the people of Jiang Star to be independent.

    "Yes, the happy life has made many of them float away. They have forgotten that without the support of their home planet, Jiang Star cannot develop."

    "The next batch of immigrants will bring new people over; you can return to Blue Star to retire."

    "Elder Ye, I…"

    "This is an order from above. No one will forget your contributions to Jiang Star. You will have a very comfortable old age, and your descendants will be favored because of you."

    Ye Chen said he decided to replace Lin Guobin because Lin Guobin’s abilities were limited, and he couldn’t manage the big picture of Jiang Star. He had reported this to Lin Jiang, who also agreed.

    "Elder Ye, what about you?"

    "I will become an underground figure of Jiang Star, alongside the new governor, light and dark, completely controlling Jiang Star."

    Ye Chen said, no matter how happy a place is, there will always be a dark side. Someone has to do the dirty work, and he is good at it, so he will stay in Jiang Star, helping Lin Jiang control this planet.

    "So Ancestor Lin still doesn’t trust me."

    "You worry too much. If I didn’t trust you, you would have been dead long ago. Don’t think so much. Just work hard; you still have a long time to live and enjoy life."

    Ye Chen let out a cold laugh. Is this what it means not to trust? If he truly did not trust you, he wouldn’t show up at all; he would only stab you when you made a mistake.

    ········

    7,550 years into the Blue Star Xia calendar, a burst of golden light appeared near Cape III Planet, revealing a blurry figure within the light.

    "Beep beep····"

    The suddenly appearing light source was captured by the Space Mother Ship, ten million kilometers away from Cape III Planet. In an instant, the Space Mother Ship turned all its exploration directions towards the light source and launched an unmanned probe.

    But soon, the light source disappeared, and the radar on the Space Mother Ship lost its target. The artificial intelligence reported this matter according to its level, but no one paid attention to it.

    They had been stationed here for over a hundred years, and the crew on the Space Mother Ship had changed three or four times. Many crew members did not see their mission as very important.

    One day later, a faint figure appeared high above Cape III Planet, and its transparent body made it hard to notice.

    After one vanished, a transparent figure appeared outside the survival base on Cape III Planet. The base was divided into several main parts, one of which was the living area, which included some laboratories, but it was the smallest area.

    There was also the teleportation array area, which was very large, with a diameter of over thirty kilometers. This area had nothing but a protective shield.

    The last area was the factory area, where many unmanned cargo trucks transported mined ores from the nearby mines to the factory area for processing, which was also dozens of kilometers in size.

    The transparent figure first looked around the factory area, then moved to the teleportation array area, and finally focused on the living area, seeing the figures of people coming and going.

    Very few people left the living area because Cape III Planet was an uninhabited planet with heavy gravity, no air, and a harsh environment. During the day, temperatures could soar to several hundred degrees, and at night, they could drop to minus several dozen degrees.

    Two days later, a space vehicle drove out of the living area. An engineer with Building Foundation Stage skills was speeding in the vehicle, occasionally performing drifting maneuvers.

    This time, he came out to repair a cargo space truck. The system showed that the truck’s power system was damaged, and it was stopped about eight hundred kilometers from the base. This kind of work was part of the daily routine for engineers like them.

    "Bang!"

    However, only about five hundred kilometers after leaving the base, there was a sudden loud noise, and the space truck turned into rubble. A powerful force covered the Building Foundation Stage cultivator.

    "Beep beep…"

    "Employee 4563 has lost vital signs…"

    "The system assessed that Employee 4563 encountered a violent attack and lost their life. Security level raised…"

    At the moment the Building Foundation Stage cultivator died, the watch on his wrist transmitted the information back to the survival base’s system. The artificial intelligence analyzed the event based on the information and issued a security alert.

    "Who is it?"

    Shiyi’s voice appeared, and powerful awareness began to explore the survival base, scanning in all directions.

    "Boom"

    Soon after, a flying sword appeared, slicing through the air above the spaceship, creating a burst of light, and the sword returned to Shiyi’s hand.

    "Shiyi, what happened?"

    "There is an enemy."

    "What? I didn’t see anything."

    "I didn’t notice either."

    "He is invisible. Just now, I only sensed a bit of residual energy. What a powerful hiding technique!"

    "This…"

    The three Tao Achievers stationed at Cape III Planet looked at each other, wondering how strong an enemy must be that even they couldn’t detect.

    "Could it be aliens?"

    "It’s hard to say. The Tao Achieving from Ying Continent and the demon race can’t reach here. Don’t even think about it without decades of flying."

    "Then it must be aliens. Sound the alarm!"

    "Okay."

    Shiyi nodded. Sounding the highest level alarm needed a joint decision from all three of them.

    Immediately, the highest alarm at the survival base was sounded. A brand-new defense setup was activated, and various construction vehicles outside began to return to the base. Meanwhile, satellites and the Space Fleet in space started scanning Cape III Planet completely.

    "Beep beep, alarm, alarm…"

    "Abnormal creature invasion…"

    "Employee 4563 identity does not match…"

    Half an hour later, the base’s loudspeaker sounded the alarm again. Someone was trying to sneak into the base using the ID badge of an employee who had just died, and the security system discovered it.

    "Boom"

    This time, the three great Tao Achievers appeared together in the factory area and immediately attacked the transparent figure that was rushing out of the safe zone.

    Golden light flashed, and a huge phantom appeared, similar to the Soul Changing Dharma Appearance, but when the three looked at this phantom, there were some differences.

    "Bald head"

    "What kind of style is this?"

    "Why shave your head for no reason?"

    A wave of doubts arose in the minds of the three. They were already sure that the enemy was human, not of the demon race; they just hadn’t figured out where this person came from, and the techniques used were also very unfamiliar.

    The bald phantom glared angrily and was about to launch an attack, but suddenly his expression changed. At that moment, the Space Fleet launched an attack, and Shiyi and the others were watching the show. In this era, space weapons were far more advanced, and beating a Tao Achieving level cultivator was no problem at all.
