The Seventh Base - Chapter 1329: 88: Gratitude

Capítulo 1329: Chapter 88: Gratitude

In the depths of space outside Emperor Star, a vast fleet appeared, spanning a great distance, though it was inconspicuous in the deep universe.

The main ship was a massive vessel; the pitch-black Abyss Battleship exuded a sinister aura, resembling a giant beast with open fangs.

In the command room, Lin Shou appeared; on the screen before him was a figure—Gaia.

“Gaia, why do you think I would cooperate with your actions?” Lin Shou said, looking at the figure on the screen.

“Because we all have a common enemy,” Gaia replied, “In the last war, Emperor Star suffered little loss; the Space Base couldn’t be destroyed. Among the major forces, it probably suffered the least. But this time, the outcome will be different.”

Lin Shou stared at Gaia’s face on the screen.

Indeed, as Gaia said, they had a common enemy. The current rulers of Emperor Star, the Lin Family, were, in Lin Shou’s eyes, a bunch of traitors who betrayed their own family and were the people Lin Shou despised the most.

The first thing he wanted to destroy was Emperor Star, followed by the Odyssey Star Domain Alliance—these were the most direct traitors.

Then it was the Church’s turn.

Although he had discord with his brother years ago, that was a matter between brothers. As for traitors, he loathed them fiercely, eager to eliminate them quickly.

Lin Qinghe, this Lin Family’s prodigy, was trusted greatly by his brother back then, even though not a biological brother; his brother still imparted everything, grooming him to be the strongest apart from himself in the Lin Family.

But he was the one who led the betrayal.

His brother was just too trusting of others, thinking they were his kin? Laughable. Without absolute control, no one is worth trusting.

“Why only the Abyss?” Lin Shou asked.

“Only the Abyss hasn’t been infiltrated; should any faction act, it would be discovered, only you wouldn’t be,” Gaia continued.

Lin Shou stared at the opponent; indeed, the Abyss couldn’t possibly be infiltrated… He was not his brother; he controlled his direct subordinates tightly.

“You better deliver what you promise,” Lin Shou said.

“Rest assured, I’ll buy you some time. This time will be enough for you,” Gaia said.

“Previously, facing the catastrophic threat to the republic and Skull Star, you wouldn’t abandon this line. This time, because of Xu Mo, you are willing to pay this price?” Lin Shou asked, staring at Gaia.

“Previously, even if you breached the base, it would be futile—the battle situation on the republic side wouldn’t change; your fleet couldn’t capture Emperor Star,” Gaia said. “This time is the same; however, the goal is not to capture Emperor Star, but to let Xu Mo escape.”

“What secret is in the Origin Helmet?” Lin Shou asked, staring at Gaia—just for Xu Mo?

Gaia’s layout on Emperor Star will be of great use in the future; once exposed, it equals destruction.

He only had one chance.

“I don’t know either,” Gaia shook his head. “Just gambling on a chance, even without it, Xu Mo now breaking through to the Destructive Realm, possessing the Origin Helmet, will still be the greatest threat to Emperor Star in the future; as long as he escapes unscathed, the price is worth it.”

“Xu Mo.” Lin Shou’s deep eyes revealed a hint of a smile.

He may not like his brother, but he somewhat liked his brother’s offspring.

Is it because he’s a junior?

“Xu Mo has been exposed; immediately head to Emperor Star,” Gaia’s expression slightly changed, he said.

Lin Shou was actually the backup. If Xu Mo hadn’t been exposed and retreated unscathed, the Abyss Fleet wouldn’t be needed, nor would there be a need to expose the layout on Emperor Star.

However, things didn’t go as planned, Xu Mo was still exposed.

In this way, some sacrifices must be made.

Their sacrifice is worthwhile.

……

The Extreme Daoist School was close to the Lin Family. Xu Mo returned to the Extreme Daoist School in a very short time; a Starship was waiting for him there.

He didn’t make things difficult for Lin Qing. After dropping her off, he boarded the Starship directly.

The Starship set sail directly towards high altitude, very quickly.

As Xu Mo’s Starship was just departing, Starships and Flying Devices from the Lin Family direction began heading in various directions; at the same time, top-level experts emerged.

“Hurry…” Xu Mo urged from the Starship; after all, he was still exposed.

In this case, within Emperor Star’s range, the opponent could quickly discover him.

“Buzz.” The Starship ascended towards high altitude, but just then, a shrill alarm sounded, Xu Mo’s face changed slightly; the person piloting the Starship said, “Exposed, the Starship has been locked.”

“Still can’t escape?” Xu Mo thought to himself; after leaving the Temple of Gods, he had already controlled everyone, those people would cover for him—generally, he wouldn’t be exposed, unless the memory was spied on.

By the looks of it, it should be due to Lin Bo and Lin Langya being left behind that caused the issue.

Lin Qinghe might have probed their memories.

In this case, it might all be for naught; he will most likely lose this vessel.

However, his true self in the Mystic God Temple has already stepped into the Realm of Destroyer. Is this considered a profit or a loss?

If the Origin Helmet falls into the opponent’s hands, it would certainly be a loss.

“Mission failed.” The person piloting the starship spoke, not to Xu Mo, and at the same time, the momentum on Xu Mo’s body erupted, a terrifying Source Power Shield enveloping him.

“Boom…”

A loud boom resounded, and Xu Mo only felt the world turning upside down, his body seemingly flying backward, as the starship he was in was blasted apart, shattered in the explosion. Other attacks landed directly on Xu Mo’s protective shield but did not break through.

High in the sky, Xu Mo stood there, while starship after starship aimed at him from afar. The next moment, beams of Light of Destruction simultaneously shot towards him, intent on killing him directly.

Xu Mo’s thought moved, instantly forming an absolute domain around him. Powerful energy fluctuations formed a massive shield, and when the attack hit it, it surprisingly didn’t break through the shield.

At the same time, Xu Mo put on the Origin Helmet.

In that instant, Xu Mo’s perception covered a vast expanse, and those attacking starships appeared within his perception. He could even clearly perceive the energy fluctuations of the starships.

“Boom…”

Powerful spiritual power invaded the starships internally. The operators within each starship seemed to sense something, their expressions changed dramatically, and the next moment, a figure appeared directly in their brain regions.

Subsequently, small starships directly adjusted their direction, aiming at the Lin’s position, firing terrifying laser beams.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo’s body continued rushing upward, hoping Gaia had preparations and could activate the Space Base. Though the chance of escaping seemed slim, Xu Mo clearly wouldn’t resign himself to fate.

High in the sky, figures of Transcendents shot straight towards Xu Mo’s direction. They ignored the laser beams blasting towards Lin’s place, and when the laser beams fell on Lin, that high-energy city suddenly erupted with bright light, a massive shield enveloping the entire ‘city’ and blocking the attack.

Within Lin, a figure shot straight out, eyes cold, it was Lin Qinghe.

He raised his head to look at Xu Mo in the sky without expecting the other party to dare be so bold, coming to the Emperor Star, entering the Temple of Gods, and taking away the Origin Helmet.

It seems there are traitors at the top.

Indeed, historical legacy problems, the war back then killed a bunch of people, and afterward, the situation was very chaotic. Some people’s positions might not be so firm.

Of course, he knew, without traitors, how could Xu Mo possibly transform into Lu Ze and waltz into the Emperor Star.

“Family Head.”

A voice came, and Lin Qinghe looked to the side to see Linde coming here at extreme speed, his body transforming into lightning, rushing straight towards Xu Mo’s location, parallel with him.

“This person entered the Extreme Daoist School cultivating as Lu Ze; it was my oversight,” Linde said.

“Since the other party could enter the Emperor Star as Lu Ze, failing to detect it is understandable,” Lin Qinghe responded.

“Hmm.” An intense anger roared out from Linde’s body, terrifying energy swirling around him, and suddenly, he shot straight towards Lin Qinghe’s direction.

The distance between the two was already close, and Linde’s speed was immense; in a single instant, he arrived before Lin Qinghe. A beam of light appeared in the sky, Extreme Fist pierced through space like a rainbow piercing the sun, tearing everything apart.

“Boom…” Lin Qinghe’s shield appeared but was shattered by the Extreme Fist, Lin Qinghe turned to look at Linde, and the next moment, the beam of light slammed into his body.

A burst of explosive sound emanated, and Lin Qinghe’s body was sent flying. He stopped ascending, his body slightly bent, but then stood straight again, looking at Linde, saying, “Linde, all these years you’ve been focused on cultivation, founding the Extreme Daoist School, outsiders call you a martial fanatic, and you’ve never married or had children. Turns out, it was because of this.”

Lin Qing was not Linde’s biological child but raised by him.

“But why do this?” Lin Qinghe asked, frowning.

“Lin Qinghe, you single-handedly destroyed an Empire,” Linde sighed.

Lin Qinghe looked at Linde without explaining anything, only saying, “You don’t understand.”

After speaking, his body charged upward again, ordering the pursuers behind, “Capture him.”

Two Destroyer-level individuals rushed directly towards Linde.

But to Lin Qinghe, no one is important, only Xu Mo matters.

Linde doesn’t understand, if it weren’t for him back then, the Lin family would have long been destroyed.

The Emperor, for the sake of advancing civilization, people might appreciate his benevolence, but the cost would be the decline of the Lin Family.

And everything he did, it was for the Lin Family.

What wrong did he do?

The Empire, it has nothing to do with him.

Lin Qinghe looked at the combat figures in the sky, was that his descendant?

Indeed, courageous, bringing out the Origin Helmet, but now, the Origin Helmet can no longer threaten him.

The Origin Helmet and Origin Sword will reunite as one.

He needs to thank Xu Mo.
