The Seventh Base - Chapter 1333: 92: Warning

Capítulo 1333: Chapter 92: Warning

The Abyss Fleet retreated into space, far from the Emperor Star.

On the main ship, Lin Shou’s gaze fixed on Xu Mo, as if he wanted to see through him.

“Is he still there?” Lin Shou asked. Xu Mo’s abilities just now were clearly his abilities, something Xu Mo absolutely could not accomplish.

So, is what Mr. Gaia said true?

Is this not only a rescue mission for Xu Mo but also for him?

Xu Mo looked at Lin Shou and shook his head.

“Over the years, his consciousness may have already merged into the Origin Helmet. The Origin Helmet might have developed self-awareness, similar to an intelligent body, and within this self-awareness, his consciousness is included,” Xu Mo said. “This is my conjecture.”

Based on what he perceived, this seemed to be the case.

“Self-awareness?” Lin Shou stared at Xu Mo’s Origin Helmet. From the combat power Xu Mo displayed earlier, he was not weaker than him at all.

For some reason, Lin Shou felt a faint sense of loss.

He was not there.

“Mr. Gaia is contacting us,” a person in the command room spoke up, and Lin Shou and Xu Mo turned to look at the screen, where Gaia’s figure appeared.

Gaia gazed at Xu Mo without saying a word.

“Sir,” Xu Mo spoke up proactively.

“Did you get it?” Gaia asked.

“I’ve got it,” Xu Mo replied.

There was silence again. Gaia looked at him, seeming like he had more to say.

“People from the Emperor Star didn’t come out,” Xu Mo stated.

“For this mission, their sacrifice was worthwhile,” Gaia said.

“After all these years of restraint and now an explosive action, this move was significant,” Lin Shou said with a smile. However, the sacrifice was immense, and the arrangement at the Emperor Star was fully exposed this time.

“I’ll wait for your return,” Gaia said, and then the screen went dark.

Xu Mo continued to stare ahead, knowing full well that Gaia had deceived him and had not disclosed the entire truth.

In actuality, Gaia sent him to take this risk on the Emperor Star not purely for his transformation, but to recall the Emperor.

Lin Shou was unaware of his true identity, but Gaia knew that he wasn’t the emperor’s offspring, had no blood relation, just as he had thought before—if the Origin Helmet truly contained the emperor’s consciousness and wanted to do something to him… he couldn’t resist.

Thus, the previous conversation between him and Gaia was unusual, lacking past harmony.

No wonder Gaia was willing to make such a huge sacrifice, including Linde and others. He, being a Destroyer, was even willing to sacrifice himself.

Because their target was the Emperor.

“Are you troubled by their sacrifices?” Lin Shou looked at Xu Mo and said, “Gaia is right. There always have to be sacrifices. Without them delaying, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to escape from the Emperor Star and the Space Base without chaos.”

“Behind this escape mission, many people were operating in the shadows, but bringing you and the Origin Helmet out made it all worth it. Everyone has their mission; that is their mission and their redemption.”

Xu Mo knew that in Lin Shou’s concept, people were stratified; the Emperor and the Lin family’s core ought to rule the universe. They should even control everyone, making them serve the Lin family.

Thus, Lin Shou thought this action was meaningful and justified.

Of course, Xu Mo was the biggest beneficiary.

He didn’t even know who those sacrificed people were, except for Linde; during his cultivation at the Extreme Daoist School, Linde, except for occasionally advising him, had never even talked to him.

And Lin Qing, what would their fate be?

…

After Lin Qinghe returned, the unrest on the Emperor Star was quickly quelled.

In the Imperial Hall, Lin Qinghe held the Origin Sword, sitting on the throne within the Imperial Hall, exuding an overwhelming pressure that enveloped the entire hall.

The suffocating oppression rendered the hall deathly silent.

In the spacious hall, many individuals were kneeling, including Linde, who was covered in blood and almost crippled, and besides him, there were several other high-ranking members of the Empire.

“After the turmoil in the Empire ended back then, to recover quickly, I treated everyone with the utmost kindness, especially people from the Lin family. Now, after several hundred years, why is there still nostalgia for the past?” Lin Qinghe’s voice was indifferent, as if suppressing anger.

These people, who could reach important positions, were beyond question; many of them were even on their side during those days. After the turmoil, to maintain stability, he couldn’t conduct memory searches on those high-ranking figures.

Everyone has secrets, has a dirty side. If the thoughts in their minds were dissected, no one could withstand scrutiny.

If he had done that, the Lin family would lose unity and loyalty, and the situation would become uncontrollable.

But unexpectedly, several hundred years later, they still paid the price for the turbulence of the past.

“Is it not finished after several hundred years?” Lin Qinghe asked, staring at Linde, “Linde, why is this so?”

Linde, the head of the Extreme Daoist School, held an extraordinary status and immense combat power, yet even someone like him betrayed.

“Why?” Linde asked, “Of course, for the Empire.”

“That was hundreds of years ago. Are we going to establish a new Empire?” Lin Qinghe said.

“Can you really achieve that?” Linde looked up at Lin Qinghe, “In today’s Universe, various powers are rising, the Church, Saint Tiya Star, who is weak?”

Even if this cosmic turmoil eventually subsides, and the Emperor Star laughs at the end, the Universe will inevitably be riddled with wounds.

Looking at the sarcasm in Linde’s eyes, Lin Qinghe suddenly laughed.

He found it ironic. Indeed, no one truly understood his sacrifices for the Lin family.

In the past, he repaid kindness with betrayal, turning against the brother who groomed him, hoping to lead the Lin family to stand forever at the pinnacle of the Universe. But in their eyes, perhaps, he was just a traitor.

“I will achieve it,” Lin Qinghe said, his gaze sweeping across the crowd in the hall, “This time, it’s a disaster for the Emperor Star. To prevent the same thing from happening, the Emperor Star needs to be reorganized.”

Everyone’s hearts tightened, knowing that this time Lin Qinghe was going to be ruthless.

He would not allow the same thing to happen a second time.

The Space Base losing control is an extremely dangerous situation.

Lin Qinghe walked down from the hall, step by step towards Linde, the sound of his footsteps echoing in the hall, making everyone’s hearts beat.

Linde looked up at him, seeing Lin Qinghe standing in front of him.

“You will see, in the future, you will open up a new world under my leadership.” Lin Qinghe reached out his hand, placing it on Linde’s head, boom… the next moment, a terrifying spiritual power invaded. Linde roared angrily, but a menacing storm covered the hall. Lin Qinghe’s eyes were cold, not giving him any chance, starting to erase his memory.

After a while, Linde fell to the ground.

No one dared to speak. Lin Qinghe looked at the others, walking over to each of them, taking action.

After a long time, finishing all this, Lin Qinghe turned around and walked towards the throne, “All major star officials in the Emperor Star Domain, examine thoroughly, including the high-ranking commanders of the Space Base and fleets.”

“Moreover, spare no expense to find out the whereabouts of Xu Mo and their fleet, the entire fleet of the Emperor Star Domain, prepare for war.” Lin Qinghe’s voice was extremely cold.

Did they just take the Origin Helmet and leave?

The last war hasn’t ended yet.

Then, next, let’s prepare to settle it completely.

……

The events on the Emperor Star were quickly learned by the major cosmic powers.

Xu Mo, having acquired the Origin Helmet left by the Emperor, and breaking through to the Destructive Realm, this was certainly not good news.

Unexpectedly, after the fleet alliance destroyed Skull Star, without a base, the opponent began to shift focus, enhancing individual combat power.

Although individual combat power cannot face large fleets, if strong enough, in battles between fleets, top-class Destroyers can still sway the outcome.

If Xu Mo grows to the level of the Emperor back then… it will be a huge threat.

Looks like their new base must be found.

All sides thought that since Skull Star had been destroyed, Gaia and their fleet likely developed a new base.

After that war, the major cosmic powers turned to small-scale wars, which never ceased, though no large fleet battles had erupted for years. Yet this turmoil on the Emperor Star seemed like a fuse, ready to ignite the flames of war again.

As all sides received this news and were eager to act, Xu Mo returned to Skull Star.

Many came to welcome him on Skull Star.

Gaia, Qiongshi, Hera, old Stark, Zack, Lincoln, Benjamin, and others appeared. They also knew about some of the things that happened on the Emperor Star, Gaia having already told everyone about Xu Mo’s breakthrough to the Destroyer level.

Seeing Xu Mo return, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Xu Mo’s personal combat power finally reached its peak realm.

The Eternal Realm is humanity’s pursuit of the unknown, ethereal and illusory; among the known, the Destroyer is the ultimate realm of evolution for the Transcendent.

Qiongshi gazed intently at Xu Mo, strands of aura emanating from him. Xu Mo glanced at Qiongshi, also releasing his aura, and in Qiongshi’s calm eyes, Xu Mo finally saw a different hue.

“Did you break through?” Hera asked Xu Mo.

“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded.

“Zero should be soon too.” Hera said, they would welcome two top-tier Destroyer level beings.

Xu Mo said nothing, his gaze turned to Gaia, only to see Gaia wearing a smile. Although there was some disappointment in his heart, he had brought back the Origin Helmet.

“From today, suspend Mr. Gaia’s direct command over the fleet,” Xu Mo said, “Of course, nothing else changes.”

Everyone’s smiles froze, looking somewhat stunned at Xu Mo, then at Gaia, but Gaia remained calm, showing no turmoil.

“Does Mr. Gaia have any objections?” Xu Mo asked.

“No.” Gaia said, “I accept.”

“Okay.” Xu Mo nodded, not pursuing the matter further.
