After entering the mission world and before he even had the chance to wake up, Gu Bai’s mind was immediately invaded by the plot, rushing in like an overbearing flood. He didn’t stop it. If he did, it may result in another situation where he had to go without a plot like before. Therefore, he could only patiently receive it and pray that there wouldn’t be any accidents.

The world this time was different from any of the others he had encountered. It couldn’t be distinguished by ancient or modern times, because it was an extremely technologically advanced future, an interstellar world.

The original host was called Qiao Qi, who was only 18 years old this year. His background was not complicated: a noble young master to a fallen family.

He was merely a young master from a family in dire straits. However, he adored the First Admiral Han Lijun, who essentially existed as the Empire’s male god.

The Han family was a well-known military family in the Interstellar Empire. For centuries, they had been the backbone of the Empire. Each generation’s successor would directly inherit the title of Grand Duke Xuelan, they were one of the most powerful families in the Empire.

Han Lijun was precisely this generation’s successor. Not only was he handsome but, more importantly, his spiritual power was also first-rate. He was the male god in the eyes of countless girls and boys in the interstellar empire.

However, in the face of such admiration and pursuit, Han Lijun himself didn’t care. He was still very young and his greatest wish was to drive out the Zergs and protect the Empire. Aside from that, he was utterly indifferent to love affairs and rejected a large number of pursuers.

Naturally, among these pursuers was the original host. But unlike the others, the original host did not give up. He held onto the idea that as long as Han Lijun was not married, he still had a chance and looked for every opportunity to get close and express himself.

But his efforts did not pay off. Instead, at this time, another girl got Han Lijun’s attention before him.

This girl was Nangong Xuan, who was also a little noble lady.

From a young age, although Nangong Xuan was a noble lady, because of her low spiritual strength, poor physique, and her rather average appearance, she did not attract much attention in the Imperial College.

Like dust, she didn’t stand out, and her character was timid and cowardly. However, such a person like Nangong Xuan suddenly changed after waking up one day. She became confident and intelligent.

Moreover, she knew a lot of ancient texts. She could even translate the long extinct ancient texts that archaeologists couldn’t translate. At the same time, she could also cook many foods that have never been seen before.

Everyone was surprised at her change. Even her parents thought that their humble daughter had become enlightened. But no one could have imagined that inside this body the soul had already been changed.

This soul came from the ancient and wild mother planet – Earth. Unlike the originally timid Nangong Xuan, she was a strong and confident woman.

Even Imperial Admiral Han Lijun, who had always been known for his strictness, admired her a lot. When she invited him to escort the experts from the Imperial College’s Department of Archaeology to the mother planet earth to explore an ancient tomb site for archaeological work, he painfully agreed.

Everyone in the interstellar had already regarded the two as a CP. While they enviously wondered if the cold and serious Admiral Han was actually moved by this intelligent and talented girl, the original host was devastated.

But the only good news was that although Admiral Han had a different attitude toward Nangong Xuan, he didn’t seem to like her in that way, so the original host thought that he still had hope.

In order to capture his beloved admiral, the original host found a way to become one of the archaeologists sent to the legendary Mother Planet tomb.

The Mother Planet was a very important existence to the entirety of interstellar Earthlings.

Tens of thousands of years ago, as a result of an unforeseen planetary impact, most of the human beings on earth had perished and nearly went extinct. After countless hardships, the remaining humans migrated to a planet outside the Milky Way galaxy to settle and repopulate.

At that time, in the entire Interstellar, humans were the weakest existence and were bullied by the rest of the beings on the planet. However, the heavens had compassion for humanity.

Compared to the other beings on the planet with strong bodies, humans from earth, despite having weak bodies, had an extremely intelligent mind. The earthen environment gave humanity the gene with the highest potential.

After a series of changes and evolution, humans from earth were once again at the top of the food chain. Humanity’s potential was irreplaceable and incomparable to any other species on the planet.

It’s just that, over time, everything about their Mother Planet had become submerged in the long river of history.

Information about the Mother Planet was lost as early as the initial migration. Tens of thousands of years later, humans knew little about what Earth used to be. They were eager to know about their ancestors who had lived on the Mother Planet. Lost culture was full of mysterious charm.

Therefore, apart from powerful soldiers, being an archaeologist was a very popular and admired profession in the interstellar world.

This ancient tomb site was accidentally discovered by an archaeology student of the Imperial College. Once the news broke out, it attracted a lot of attention.

As the ones who discovered this and had the most professional instructors in the Empire, the Imperial College naturally undertook this archaeological task.

Yet, with Han Lijun being the other young soldier appointed by the Emperor to escort and protect everyone, excitement for the archaeological expedition once again reached a climax, attracting the attention of the media and all the people of the Interstellar.

It should be known that Han Lijun was an Admiral who guarded the Empire. For the Admiral to personally escort and protect the archaeologist was a great honor. Moreover, this was also the first time that Han Lijun appeared in the spotlight outside the Imperial military parades. How could this not be exciting?!

In order to carry out the archaeological work better, they were ready to send people out into the ancient tomb to explore the way the moment they touched down onto Earth.

This was because Nangong Xuan, the well respected “archaeology professor”, said that the ancient Earth tomb was very dangerous and that there were many traps to prevent tomb robbers.

This wave of pathfinders was to be led by Han Lijun and included some of the professors and film crew.

The original host had already intended to pursue Han Lijun in close contact during this archeological expedition, so he did everything at his disposal and shamelessly followed him in.

But he didn’t expect that the ancient tomb was far more dangerous than they had imagined. In less than an hour after entering, the people hadn’t even touched the edge of the main grave before they were thrusted into danger and someone had perished, scaring them so much that they had to retreat and make long-term plans.

Very unfortunately, the original host was one of those casualties.

Moreover, after his death, his Admiral and Nangong Xuan actually got together. She became the Admiral’s wife under the envy of the entire Interstellar.

Thus the original host was very unwilling. He had not yet chased his Admiral. He hadn’t even held his hand before dying so early.

So the wish of the original host was to catch the Admiral of the Empire.

After receiving the plot, Gu Bai let out a breath. The plot looked like a lot, but the task was very simple.

According to the plot, both Han Lijun’s appearance and temperament were in line with the rest of his man’s incarnations.

That is to say, the person he needed to pursue this time may be his man. If that was so, then this task was not a problem at all, after all, he was still confident in being able to chase after his man. However, whether this was the case or not, he would only be sure after meeting him.

Besides that, he was very interested in the Earth tomb in this mission world.

According to the plot, the tomb was well preserved. Even after tens of thousands of years, the entrance of the tomb was not damaged.

It should be known that after the earth was hit by a planet, it not only wiped out most humanity, but under such a great impact, it was impossible for these underground catacombs to not sustain damage.

However in the plot, the tomb was not only undamaged but it also had surprisingly been preserved for tens of thousands of years. Only powerful energy could resist external damage and the erosion of time. Was it possible that there was some kind of treasure in there?

Gu Bai was slightly interested. His strength grew too slowly by just relying on completing tasks every time. He didn’t care much before, as long he was kept alive, but now that he knew of Ye Cang’s situation, he couldn’t sit still.

Even if Ye Cang hadn’t said anything specific, he could tell how dangerous the other’s situation was. If someone had really threatened his man, he hoped that he could help him at that time, and the only way to do that was to become strong.

At this moment, the plot was at the point where the original host joined in and became one of the students of the archaeological expedition to the ancient tomb. In a month, everyone would set out to begin to work at the Mother Planet.

Although there was only one month to prepare, the soul belonging to the Interstellar was very strong, and with the help of spiritual power, it was enough to cultivate some and make preparations.

Having decided on his course of action, Gu Bai started to make preparations right away.

While Gu Bai was preparing to enter the earth’s ancient tomb, the Interstellar was also boiling with anticipation because of the archaeological work on earth.

The archaeological work should have been done in secret, but due to the demands of the people throughout the Interstellar, the Emperor finally relented and made it completely transparent.

At that time, the Empire would send a specialized reporter to follow the exploration, recording the entire archeological process live and showing the mysterious tomb to the people of the entire Interstellar.

Of course, the will of the people of the Interstellar was important, but what was more important was that the Empire wanted to record Earth’s civilization into the history of the Interstellar.

Even though humans of earth have become a powerful race in the Interstellar, people on other planets still do not recognize the existence of Earth’s civilization.

This was because, for tens of thousands of years, all the data and information of Earth had been passed down through word of mouth, and nearly all images and materials that could confirm civilization on Earth had more or less disappeared.

Even though there were still some antiques implying that there had been civilization on Earth, there was nothing like an ancient tomb, so they were not very persuasive. Civilization on Earth couldn’t be recognized by other races of the Interstellar.

This was why the discovery of an ancient tomb site would attract the attention of all the people in the Interstellar. It was a true testament to the existence of a racial civilization.
