Capítulo 1085: Chapter 142: War Expands
Xu Mo, like the others in the Mystic God Temple, felt quite unsettled.
It was clear that they had underestimated the leader of the O’Brian Republic. This legendary figure of the republic was far more formidable than imagined. Not only did he not punish them as expected, but he even bestowed rewards, stating that it was Heath’s incompetence that implicated the Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple.
This was evidently not something an ordinary person could achieve; naturally, Osman O’Brian was no ordinary person.
A look of surprise briefly appeared on Xu Mo’s face, but he quickly regained his composure. Having weathered many storms, he knew how to control his emotions. At this moment, he was facing the legendary figure of the republic, and any hint of emotion might draw the other’s attention. He couldn’t afford to show any flaw.
Surprise was normal; everyone in the Mystic God Temple was surprised. But after the surprise, Xu Mo remained calm, without a trace of guilt, and slightly bowed, “Leader, I am also a member of the republic. This is my duty, and I am unworthy of this medal.”
“No, this medal is not sufficient to reward what you have accomplished,” Osman O’Brian said, fixing his gaze on Xu Mo. “I have learned about what happened in the Empire Trial Field. If it weren’t for you reclaiming Heath’s head in the last battle and terrifying the opponents, what stance would the Kales Empire take when they return? This was, fundamentally, a war between the republic and the Kales Empire. Heath fell in battle, and the republic was utterly defeated, but you turned the tide for the republic. If it weren’t for interference from other forces, you might have even severed Lonco’s head.”
He then glanced beside him, took out another gift box, and said, “You cultivate Flying Swords. These two Flying Swords are made of special materials and should suit you well.”
Xu Mo felt strange about the weapon as it was the one Heath O’Brian intended to give him when trying to win him over, but he had refused at the time. However, now Heath’s father was giving it to him again.
“Thank you, Leader,” Xu Mo accepted them.
“Cultivate well; you will be the future of the Mystic God Temple and the republic,” Osman O’Brian said, patting Xu Mo’s shoulder. Seeing this, those around were somewhat moved, as such commendation was very rare.
However, a genius who entered the Mystic God Temple five years ago, shone brightly in two years, and reached top levels in three years at the Empire Trial Field, was likely to become a top Transcendent in the future.
Before rewarding Xu Mo, the republic’s leader must have researched everything about him.
Osman O’Brian returned to the front and said to the crowd, “This journey to the Empire Trial Field has been arduous for all of you. If any of you need assistance in the future, you can approach the O’Brian family. I won’t hold you any longer here. Ares, see them off for me.”
“Yes,” Ares O’Brian nodded.
The crowd bowed to take their leave and turned to exit.
As they walked out of the main hall, they still hadn’t quite recovered. The stark contrast left a deep impression on their hearts.
When Xu Mo walked out of the main hall, he felt a sigh of relief. Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, he was somewhat nervous facing the legendary figure of the O’Brian Republic, knowing that he was the mastermind behind Heath’s death.
However, one had to admire the skills of this leader.
This time, without a single word of wooing, the handling of this matter would most certainly bring him incredibly high prestige within the Mystic God Temple.
While the Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple were independent, in a few years, they would gradually leave the Mystic God Temple.
Most of them are originally Republic People and may still serve the republic in the end.
With this leader’s methods, eventually the Mystic God Temple being absorbed by the republic would just be a matter of time, a process that doesn’t require force but only time.
On the way back, aboard the Flying Device.
“Xu Mo, what are your plans moving forward? Have you considered staying and cultivating on the Capital Star?” Proto asked Xu Mo, as staying on the Capital Star would be most suitable given his cultivation talent.
After all, the Capital Star Ao Temple is the headquarters, with the most resources, best suited for the development of Xu Mo’s talents.
Xu Mo came from Chloe Star Ao Temple for the Empire Trial Field’s journey, and having finished, he should return to Chloe Star. However, Xu Mo’s situation is unique. If he wants to stay, Taros Temple Master would likely allow it.
“I’ll think about it, but I still need to return to Chloe Star for now,” Xu Mo said.
A few years ago, Blue Star Technology Group was established on Chloe Star. After several years of development, Ye Qingdie, Ross, and others should have laid the foundation for the company, and they need to move forward according to their strategy.
Moreover, Xu Mo now needs to develop his military force even more.
In the universe, he feels that no force is completely reliable, and ultimately relying on others is untrustworthy, especially with Zero’s mysterious background.
Therefore, Blue Star Technology Group must accumulate strength in secret to ensure the future.
Now that he has established himself in the O’Brian Republic, he also has gained some status. Once he reaches the Skywalker Realm, his position will be more stable.
“Yes, you’ll have to come to the Capital Star sooner or later,” said Proto.
Back at the Mystic God Temple.
Xu Mo and Zero entered the room, and he took out the two Flying Swords. The Flying Swords require spiritual power to drive. When Xu Mo infused them with spiritual power, the two Flying Swords instantly emitted a brilliantly dazzling blue Energy Light.
“Such strong energy, a lethal strike for an ultimate Transcendent,” Xu Mo thought to himself. With his spiritual power combined with the strength of these Flying Swords, even ultimate experts might not withstand a blow.
The generosity in gifting Skywalker-level weapons was commendable. Heath would never have imagined in his dreams that Xu Mo would exchange his head for the gift he once wanted to give Xu Mo.
Stowing the Flying Swords, Xu Mo glanced at the Ancient Beast beside Zero.
The Ancient Beast, upon catching Xu Mo’s gaze, instantly leaped towards Zero, frightened.
“Behave and come here,” Xu Mo said with a smile.
The Ancient Beast drooped its head. Xu Mo walked forward, grabbed its head tightly, and ‘gently’ embraced it, ‘mildly’ saying, “Little one, you need to put in more effort from now on; spiritual power cultivation depends on you.”
“Woo woo…”
The Ancient Beast mimicked human crying, lifelike.
After that, Xu Mo and Zero entered a seclusion cultivation state, waiting for Taros Temple Master to notify them to return.
Their most pressing goal right now is cultivation.
Time passed day by day.
More than ten days later, Xu Mo received news of the imminent return to Chloe Star Mystic God Temple.
Xu Mo and Zero stepped out of the room and arrived outside the Mystic God Temple. Augustus, Lowell, and others were there too, gathered together as people from various Mystic God Temples prepared to return simultaneously.
Whispering sounds surrounded them, falling into Xu Mo’s ears, causing him to show a hint of peculiar expression.
“The war between the Republic and the Kales Empire has escalated?” Xu Mo asked Lowell beside him. These days, he had been focused on cultivation, not paying attention to outside news.
“Yes.” Lowell nodded: “The O’Brian Republic has begun recruiting soldiers and issued multiple directives. The war between the Republic and the Fake Empire will affect a broader range, possibly even the ten major stars in the future.”
Xu Mo’s expression was serious. It seems Heath O’Brien’s death has propelled the war forward.
Though this step would have been inevitable, Heath advanced the historical process with his life.
In such a situation, many people will suffer.
War is undoubtedly cruel, countless individuals will perish, and if planets are attacked, it will be even more disastrous.
However, war also means chaos, and chaos implies opportunity.
New forces often rise in the midst of war.
“But the war has already been going on for many years, and given the scale of the Republic and the Fake Empire, I’m afraid the conflict will still last for a long time.” Lowell said, previously it felt distant before the war affected them.
Xu Mo nodded; this level of war has nothing to do with him—he is far from qualified to participate.
“Xu Mo brother.”
At this moment, someone walked towards them.
Xu Mo turned to look at the newcomers, a few figures of both genders, their gaze resting on Xu Mo, as they stopped before him.
“Is there something you need?” Xu Mo asked. These two looked quite young; he didn’t know them.
“My name is Cade, I’ve heard of some of Brother Xu Mo’s feats, could I ask Brother Xu Mo for some guidance?” the golden-haired young man in the lead spoke.
Xu Mo and the others spent three years at the Empire Trial Field, with quite a few newcomers joining the Mystic God Temple.
The young man in front was among the most prominent figures; he was the top person from the Ten Temple Alliance in the year they entered the Empire Trial Field, becoming a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple. His progress was rapid and his strength formidable, being quite active in cultivating in the Mystic God Temple.
Lowell explained this softly in Xu Mo’s ear. Xu Mo suddenly understood, surprised to realize he had become an elder figure in the Mystic God Temple now?
Five years have indeed made him part of the older generation.
“There are many excellent Transcendents in the Capital Star Mystic God Temple; you can seek them out, I will be leaving soon.” Xu Mo said.
“I am more interested in experiencing Brother Xu Mo’s combat prowess.” Cade persisted, his gaze on Xu Mo, eager.
This scene evoked a sense of familiarity in Lowell, like seeing his past self, though later he was convinced by Brother Xu Mo’s prowess.
Sure enough, young and fearless, aiming straight for the strongest.
Xu Mo, now heralded as the first of the ten Mystic God Temple ultimate figures.
Because of this, many in the Capital Star Mystic God Temple were unconvinced, yet Proto did not object and went into seclusion for cultivation.
Many people gathered around, all in the mood to watch the show.
“Are you ready?” Xu Mo asked.
“Ready.” Cade nodded.
As soon as he spoke, he saw Xu Mo’s body move. Cade looked into Xu Mo’s eyes, feeling his head explode, as if seeing the cosmos and starry sky.
A terrifying oppressive force hit him, and with a pounding sound, the Energy Storm struck him like stormy waves, the horrifying pressure forcing Cade to retreat continuously. When he came to, he found Xu Mo standing quietly in front of him, hands behind his back, not having made a single move.
At this moment, Cade was drenched in cold sweat.
“Cultivate well.” Xu Mo said with a smile, then turned and left, Cade watching Xu Mo’s departing figure with a look of shame.
Three years of cultivation at the Empire Trial Field, Xu Mo had gone through a transformation, possessing a qualitative gap even compared to the geniuses of the Mystic God Temple.
