# Chapter 1414: Waiting for a Miracle! (Bonus Chapter)
The Origin Stone came from the far side of the moon, combined with the eight-hundred-kilometer-wide hole now discovered there!
Connecting all the clues, the One-Eyed Species' intentions were crystal clear!
And what role the Holy Star played in all of this remained unknown!
Every arrow pointed toward the moon. If humanity couldn't survive this wave,
The path to the future would be cut off for good!
Jiang Tianchen's expression was grave: "The Origin Spark is no longer the primary concern now!"
"We must stop the Moon Eye from expanding as quickly as possible, find a way to restore it, and stabilize the moon's mass!"
"No matter the cost, we have to do this. We really can't wait any longer!"
The shadow beside him spoke: "Secretary-General, Firefly has also sent word!"
"At the Mi Guo Space Navigation Bureau's low-Earth orbit, large-scale spacecraft construction is in its final stages. They'll likely make their move soon!"
"The E Guo Deep Space Bureau has also erected multiple heavy rockets. Their intentions are obvious!"
"Meanwhile, Hongguo, Ying Guo, Fanguo, and many other countries have begun preparing their own spacecraft!"
"The International Spirit Martial Alliance has sensed the shift in the wind and is also turning its gaze toward the moon..."
Yang Jian squinted!
Every country had its own intelligence organization. At this point, hiding was impossible!
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall, especially not for a large-scale aerospace plan involving tens or even hundreds of thousands of people!
Once any trace was detected, intelligence agencies would inevitably launch investigations.
It would be easy to learn that every country's target was the moon. Naturally, no one wanted to be left behind!
Clearly, every nation was preparing for the moon, getting ready to land.
And Mi Guo and E Guo were clearly in the lead!
Yang Jian grinned: "Heh~ It's starting to feel like a race!"
"Whichever country lands on the moon first, establishes a base, and makes contact with the One-Eyed Species will get first-hand intel!"
"Seizing the initiative and securing more resources!"
Even though this was the current situation on the moon...
For the nations to set aside their interests, share technology, and work together in full cooperation was absolutely impossible.
The reality was too complex. Overly idealistic ideas could never be realized.
Even if they did cooperate, they'd end up fighting red-faced and bloody over leadership.
So every country was holding back, eager to gain the upper hand, make a mark on the moon, and establish absolute advantage!
Hua Xia was no exception!
Jiang Tianchen's expression was solemn: "Give the order. We can't wait any longer. The One-Eyed Species won't give us more time to drag our feet!"
"The Moon Embrace Plan has been underway. All aspects are ready for lunar landing. Large spacecraft and high-thrust rockets are in position!"
"Ice God's Garden Plan has also achieved great success. The special space suits have been developed!"
"Under these circumstances, we don't have time to prepare perfectly!"
Yang Jian's expression was pained. Clearly, Jiang Tianchen was going to force it!
"How many can we send up at once?"
Jiang Tianchen took a deep breath: "Three hundred. That's the limit. For supplies, we have the Pocket Rabbit. It'll sustain them for a long time."
"Qualified personnel have already been selected and are undergoing combat training in the space simulation room. The task is heavy!"
Yang Jian gritted his teeth: "Three hundred? That's nowhere near enough, dammit! There are so many One-Eyed Species! Their strength is unknown!"
"How will they return?"
Jiang Tianchen clenched his fists: "Lunar conditions are limited. The return capsule can only bring thirty people back at a time!"
"We need to bring back One-Eyed Species samples for research..."
Because the return capsule had to be brought along during the landing!
Returning was even harder than landing!
With such a tight schedule and lunar conditions, there was no way to prepare a large return capsule!
The entire command hall fell into deathly silence!
Yang Jian's eyes reddened: "What about the other two hundred seventy? Abandoned on the moon to die?"
Jiang Tianchen's voice was hoarse: "The team members are already mentally prepared. They were informed during the screening. Everyone went in with the understanding they might not come back..."
Yang Jian grabbed Jiang Tianchen by the collar, tears welling up in his eyes!
"You're sending them thirty-eight thousand kilometers away from home, onto the moon, where there are no living conditions!"
"Facing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of One-Eyed Species, endless unknowns, no support, and even a hole in their suit could kill them in space!"
"They can't even return their souls to their homeland! Those two hundred seventy aren't just cold numbers! They're two hundred seventy living, breathing lives, dammit!"
Jiang Tianchen met Yang Jian's gaze without struggle, simply spitting out a few words calmly!
"Some things just need to be done by someone. Hua Xia has come this far through countless hardships. Isn't this how we've always gotten through?"
"When I was young, from the moment I first sat in that spacecraft cabin, I was already prepared to sacrifice myself for my country!"
"A vast Hua Xia, a mighty thousand autumns. If my death, Jiang Tianchen's death, can extend the path to the future, what fear is there in death? I shall go!"
"If I die and cannot return to my homeland, then let me drift in a foreign land!"
Yang Jian fell silent. He finally let go of Jiang Tianchen and looked up at the ceiling.
"Every time I have to give an order like this, I think, why isn't it me who dies?"
"Can I really be worthy of the lives my brothers entrust to me? They're all sons with parents who raised them..."
Jiang Tianchen's eyes were bloodshot: "They're all juniors I trained with my own hands. I can't bear to lose them even more than you!"
"But this is reality. Give the order. At a time like this, you have to make choices. You need to know what's important!"
Yang Jian's eyes were full of struggle!
"Wait a little longer. Give me five days. We can afford to wait these five days!"
Jiang Tianchen was stunned: "Five days? What are we waiting for?"
Yang Jian murmured: "Waiting for a surprise, a miracle!"
Everyone looked at Yang Jian in shock. At a time like this, you don't leave your fate to chance!
Since when did the Eastern Eye believe in such things?
Nightingale quickly said: (งᵒ̌⌂ᵒ̌)ง "Luo Tianqing! She took a team to the permafrost area to look for the Star Gate incantation!"
"News says they've entered the Oracle Spirit Ruins, but the ruins are still sealed. It'll take a few more days to open!"
At this, Nightingale's eyes reddened again, and she began to sob softly.
(｡•́__ก̀｡) "This should have been Jiangnan leading the team, but he... wuu..."
A long sigh echoed through the entire command hall. Jiang Tianchen's eyes were also full of pain!
"If Jiangnan were still alive, he would surely be the most dazzling new star in this world! It's just a pity... sigh~"
Yang Jian covered his face, pressing hard!
(ﾉ)థжథ)
It was Jiangnan himself leading the team!
If Luo Tianqing were leading, Yang Jian might not have waited...
But Jiangnan was worth waiting for. After all, when that kid went out, he never came back empty-handed!
He just didn't know how things were going over there!
Snow Woman Bai Kou and Bell had both entered. Jiangnan had no support over there, leading a team of Diamonds. Could he really compete with them?
Jiang Tianchen paced back and forth: "If the Star Gate can be used, manpower won't be an issue. There'll be so much more room to maneuver. Many problems will solve themselves!"
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly. We'll wait five more days. Otherwise, we'll have to force it!"
Yang Jian nodded and immediately sent Jiangnan a message, telling him to contact him as soon as he came out of the Oracle Spirit Ruins!
He hoped this time, he'd bring back a miracle!
...
Inside the Oracle Spirit Ruins, nine days had passed in the blink of an eye!
But three days ago, the Fat Uncle Treasure Hunting Team had already found all the Star Ring fragments and assembled them into a complete Star Ring!
It was now sitting in Jiangnan's alternate dimension!
Those scavengers were completely exhausted. The past few days had been pure hell, okay?
And early in the morning, Jiangnan suddenly bounced up from his bed!
He stuck his head out the window and looked eastward. An abnormal spatial fluctuation was coming from over there!
Jiangnan's face lit up with excitement. The exit had opened?
That meant the Oracle Spirit Ruins private server was about to close!
Time to delete the save file. Time to log into Luo Tianqing's account!
Jiangnan quickly changed into Luo Tianqing's clothes, ate a plastic bag of small puddings, and transformed back into her appearance!
As soon as he opened the door and walked out, he ran into Wu Liang, who was completely disheveled, his clothes torn and ragged!
He was even leaning on a broken wooden stick!
(#ᄑ(エ)ᄑ#)
Seeing Jiangnan, he was momentarily stunned!
"Nan哥? Why are you back on Tianqing Instructor's account?"
Jiang Tianqing chuckled!
(O՞ꇴ՞) "The day has come. We're getting ready to go out. How did you end up looking like this? What were you doing up so early?"
Wu Liang: ???
What the hell do you mean what was I doing? I got sent flying by that argali sheep and just walked back!
None of you even looked for me? I have that little presence?
Good thing I came back in time, or you'd have left me behind in here!
Hearing the commotion outside, everyone got up one by one. Seeing Jiangnan back in Luo Tianqing's appearance, they all knew it was time to go out!
They called Bai Kou and the others!
Everyone headed straight for the space gate!
Over ten thousand scavengers, seeing the space gate, were moved almost to tears. They looked at it more affectionately than their own wives!
Finally, this hellish life was about to end!
Like a pack of starving wolves, they charged out recklessly!
But Jiangnan raised his hand and erected a spatial barrier in front of the space gate, blocking the way!
A series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out. Scavengers who hit the air wall clutched their heads and crouched on the ground, grievance points refreshing like crazy!
Jiang Tianqing cleared his throat!
(。ớ₃ờ) "You can go out, but you all know my true identity now!"
"If news that I'm not dead gets out, won't that screw me over?"
(΄◞ิ◡◟ิ‵) "So... hehehe~"
At this moment, Jiang Tianqing's face wore a devilish smile!
