You said you would be the reborn empress, why did you become my bootlicker?

The deputy minister of the Ministry of Education is named Ye Xing, an 8th-level king-level strongman, with a high position and power, an absolute big shot.

He personally awarded the awards to the top ten in the country, such as Su Yuan and Xu Anyan, at the award ceremony.

But for others, Deputy Minister Ye is a big shot that can only be seen on TV or the Internet on weekdays, but now, they have seen it with their own eyes.

This is because of their achievements.

Only by constantly getting stronger can you stand out and be taken seriously.

Everyone has similar thoughts and is inspired.

Facing these young faces full of vigor and excitement, Ye Xing's mood is a little heavy.

As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education of Daxia, he naturally knows the truth behind the star realm, that is, the dilemma that Blue Star will have to face in five years.

Therefore, he knows very well that what he is going to say next may impact or even destroy the worldview of these teenagers.

But he must say it, because this is something that everyone will face in the future and cannot be avoided.

He spoke slowly:

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for proving yourself in the martial arts exam and achieving excellent results."

"You are the geniuses who have stood out from millions of people and are the pride of our Great Xia."

The faces of the people present were filled with a hint of pride.

But what they did not expect was that the next sentence of this Deputy Minister Ye suddenly changed the subject and turned to the matter of cosmic civilization, which made them a little unresponsive.

"I wonder if you have ever thought about it, in the vast universe, our Blue Star... is it the only civilization?"

Ye Xing looked at everyone present and asked.

At this time, a girl said timidly:

"It shouldn't be, right?"

The rest of the people nodded in unison.

The universe is vast and boundless, and it is unknown how huge it is. How could Blue Star be a lonely civilization?

In response, Ye Xing nodded:

"That's right. Our Blue Star is indeed not the only civilization in the universe, because in fact, we have already come into contact with another civilization."

Wow!

The students present were shocked!

Blue Star has already contacted other civilizations! ?

No wonder a confidentiality agreement was signed before the meeting just now. If this news spreads, it will definitely explode the world!

Ye Xing continued:

"And unfortunately, this civilization is much stronger than us. In fact... the reason why our world has developed to what it is now and why we can practice is all because of this civilization."

Next.

Ye Xing briefly described the origin of Blue Star's energy practice, the 500-year test, and the fate of Blue Star after the test failed.

Everyone was stunned and their worldview collapsed.

Nine Star Alliance?

A starry sky civilization that is much stronger than Blue Star?

Ye Xing had anticipated the reactions of the crowd and spoke slowly:

"The reason why the leaders of various countries did not announce it to the public is that they did not want to cause panic among the people, and secondly, this news is really useless to 99.999% of the people, and it only adds to their troubles."

"As for you..."

"This year, the Nine Star Alliance opened a star realm on Blue Star to screen the geniuses of various countries in advance. The number of places is limited, and we in Daxia have been allocated 22 places."

"In the star realm, you can get star resources that Blue Star does not have for cultivation, and you may even have the opportunity to obtain various powerful inheritances, but there are also risks, even... the risk of death."

"But I strongly suggest that you all give it a try. Martial artists must fight. If you are not willing to take this risk, your future martial arts path, and even your martial arts heart, may be affected. . "

"Of course, I'm telling the truth. In addition to considering your own interests, participating in the Star Realm Trial is also a contribution to the country."

"According to the planet evolution rules of the Nine Star Alliance, if Blue Star fails to complete the assessment after five years, it will be based on the number of 9th-level powerhouses in various countries and the number of geniuses who have passed the Star Realm Assessment. After comprehensive evaluation, an agent will be selected."

Speaking of this, Ye Xing paused and smiled bitterly:

"To put it nicely, it's an agent, but to put it bluntly, it's actually a contractor. But this is also a blessing in disguise."

"This is also why countries are still competing for resources, because no one wants to be abandoned, and they are all fighting for a glimmer of hope, even if it's just the position of agent of an industrial affiliated planet."

......

After Ye Xing introduced the ins and outs of the Star Realm, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became depressed.

Everyone was silent. They came with excitement and excitement, but now they have to face such cruelty.reality.

"Okay."

"This is the specific situation."

Ye Xing gestured to the assistant beside him, and the assistant handed a new agreement to everyone.

"I just said that in the star world, opportunities and risks coexist, and there is a probability of death."

"If anyone wants to withdraw now, please raise your hand."

"If you decide to participate, sign the voluntary participation agreement in front of you..."

Everyone fell into thinking.

A few minutes later, about four or five people slowly raised their hands.

They are talented and powerful, and they are all outstanding, but the word "death" makes them afraid, and they would rather give up everything.

Ye Xing was not surprised by this, but he asked one more question:

"Are you sure you are giving up the opportunity voluntarily, not for other reasons, such as being coerced, right?"

Daxia has a total of 22 places. If someone gives up, they will be supplemented from the national ranking from top to bottom. This is the second chance for the family, and it is inevitable that someone will not tamper with it.

While asking this question, Ye Xing released his spiritual power and observed the reactions of several people. As an 8th-level king, he could tell who was lying at a glance.

Fortunately, no one lied. They were indeed scared off by the "risk of death".

But this also made Ye Xing extremely helpless, and he felt a bit disappointed.

Chief Gu had finally fought for you to get this opportunity... and now he gave it to those children of aristocratic families.

Although everyone has their own ambitions, they are unwilling to seize this opportunity... It's really hopeless.

Ye Xing shook his head:

"You can go now."

Several people got up and left in disgrace.

Although they felt a little guilty, they were relieved.

......

There were 22 people in total, and 5 people gave up their places, leaving only 17 people.

Ye Xing looked at the rest of the people:

"The content of the Star Trial was not disclosed to us by the Nine Star Alliance. The country cannot help you, but one thing is certain, that is, the stronger you are, the greater the chance of getting the opportunity."

"There is still one month before the Star Trial opens. During this month, you should strive to improve your strength and prepare for the subsequent Star Trip."

His eyes fell on Su Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.

He had an absurd idea.

In these five years...

Will Su Yuan successfully break through the 9th level and become the hope of Blue Star's breakthrough?

In five years, from awakening to breaking through the 9th level, the probability should be 0% in everyone's eyes.

But before this, no one had ever thought that there would be a college entrance examination candidate who could defeat a 4th-level beast in the martial arts exam.

......

When he learned that five people had voluntarily given up the quota for the Star Plan, Gu Qingtian did not show any special reaction.

He did not feel any emotions such as "unworthy", "angry" or "helpless" in his heart. He remained normal, even though he had spent a lot of effort and had to negotiate with the nobles for a long time to determine this "absolutely fair" quota.

He had long been accustomed to it, and he did not care. He had his own way.

......

Qin Rumeng, Lu An, Qin Rulong, Murong Bai, and Yun Yin, a western family ranked 11th in the country, were given the Star Realm quota as substitutes.

......

Dongsu Administrative District.

A disabled soldier was sent home by the military district's car.

He was a wounded soldier who retired from the battlefield in the East China Sea. Now his injuries have improved, but he cannot continue to fight, so he retired gloriously.

The retirement allowance and resettlement reward are enough for him to live the rest of his life in peace.

That night.

The man who was sleeping soundly in bed suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of scarlet flashed in his eyes.

He stood up somewhat stiffly, moved his body, and opened a backpack he brought back from the army. Inside was a compass.

The needle on the compass swayed and finally settled in a fixed direction.

......
