The Seventh Base - Chapter 948: 24: Outside the Mystic God Temple (2)

Chapter 948: Chapter 24: Outside the Mystic God Temple (2)
They recruited Saye with hopes that he could enter the top ten, given the large investment, but Saye ended up ranking eleventh, which was somewhat disappointing and did not meet their expectations.
However, there was no helping it. If they hadn’t recruited Saye, they would have been embarrassed, with Tis Palace not even appearing in the top fifty of the scoreboard.
So, even though the loss was substantial this time, they had to accept it. The person they recruited was practically their representative, entering the Mystic God Temple under the name of Tis Palace.
There was no other choice; the selection of the Mystic God Temple was too important, followed by tens of billions on the planet. If you don’t spend money, others will.
Therefore, this outcome was acceptable, neither surprising nor disappointing.
“If only it were one rank higher,” Elder Hollen said. Beside him was the second-in-command of Tis Palace, Deputy Palace Master Sean.
“Eleventh place isn’t bad either. Hollen, you’ve worked hard this time,” Sean said, refraining from any dispirited words. After all, the results were out, and although the target wasn’t met, it was hard to blame those doing the work, as it wasn’t within their control.
“You flatter me, Master Xiao. As a member of Tis Palace, it’s expected,” Hollen replied. Despite being an elder, there was still a hierarchy gap between him and Sean, the second-in-command.
“Let’s go, it’s open,” Sean glanced forward and then stepped towards the square outside the Mystic God Temple.
Many people proceeded forward. If their recommended individuals were selected for the Mystic God Temple, they were eligible to go.
“Let’s go,” said Hodge Uranos to the group behind him as they also moved forward, with Xu Mo and Zero among the Uranos Family.
However, Gao Hong, Ye Qingdie, and others did not follow, as it was inconvenient to have too many people. The Uranos Family already had many members, so only Xu Mo and Zero joined them.
The group headed towards the core area while others could only observe from the perimeter.
Xu Mo quietly followed behind the Uranos Family members, glancing at the crowd from Tis Palace ahead. He recognized Roso, having met him once before, and had also seen Hollen when Saye was welcomed into Tis Palace.
His visit this time was rather audacious, considering the Mystic God Temple was a Holy Land and he came seeking trouble, which was why he needed the Uranos Family’s assistance.
As they entered this area, people from various forces mingled with those selected, among whom was a person who caught widespread attention. Xu Mo glanced over; it was Augustus, who ranked first on the scoreboard this time.
“Augustus is from Chloe Academy, the strongest Transcender Academy on Chloe Star. Even before participating, Augustus was the favorite, so taking first place came as no surprise,” Nois Uranos explained to Xu Mo beside him.
His gaze towards that area was slightly different; even people from the Mystic God Temple were around Augustus. What kind of treatment is that?
It was imaginable that Augustus had a bright future ahead and would become an influential figure.
Xu Mo slightly nodded. Winning the first place in the Mystic God Temple selection, a talent of such stature was naturally adored by all.
“Erin,” Hodge called out. Erin walked over, greeting, “Father.”
Erin Uranos ultimately ranked seventy-fifth, a very commendable ranking, as entering the top hundred was already incredibly strong; among the top hundred, the differences in strength weren’t significant for many.
“Well done,” Hodge said, then looked towards another companion of Erin’s, a talented individual invited by the Uranos Family, Gisman, who ranked eighth on the scoreboard.
“Mr. Gisman, thank you for your efforts,” Hodge said with a smile.
“It was my duty,” Gisman responded.
Many people approached; they were those recommended by the Uranos Family.
“Let me introduce a friend you might want to know, perhaps you’ll interact in the future,” Hodge Uranos said. “This is Xu Mo, who achieved a ten consecutive wins record at Uranos Arena.”
“Xu Mo, this is Gisman.”
Xu Mo smiled at Gisman, wanting to reach out his hand, but Gisman merely nodded casually and averted his gaze, clearly disinterested. Achieving ten consecutive wins at Uranos Arena was extremely challenging for many, but for someone who entered the top ten on the Mystic God Temple scoreboard, it was insignificant.
Noticing that Gisman was uninterested, Hodge felt slightly embarrassed, quickly shifting the topic. “In the future at the Mystic God Temple, please help look after Erin, Mr. Gisman.”
“I’ll do my best,” Gisman courteously replied to Hodge, as Uranos was a top family on Chloe Star.
Hodge didn’t say much more, continuing to greet others who approached.
Xu Mo wasn’t bothered by Gisman’s attitude, instead focusing on the scoreboard, searching for the list of all selected from Tis Palace.
Then, Xu Mo turned and walked to a central spot within the crowd, before slowly levitating.
At that moment, many people’s eyes fell on him, with some frowning.
Sailing through the air in front of the Mystic God Temple at this moment?
Who is this person?
Could he be someone who successfully passed the Mystic God Temple selection?
Ahead, even members of the Mystic God Temple cast sharp glances at Xu Mo.
There was a lot of discussion. People from Tis Palace, chatting with Saye, turned their attention towards Xu Mo, curious about the surrounding chatter.
“Hmm?” Roso frowned, showing a hint of surprise. Is it him?
Others from Tis Palace hadn’t seen or noticed Xu Mo, but Roso recognized him, having seen Xu Mo with Gao Hong before.
What is this guy doing here?
Without qualification to participate in this Mystic God Temple selection, is he here to cause trouble?
Is he seeking death?
“I am Xu Mo, a young member from a distant planet, traversing across the Star Domain and enduring hardships to cultivate in the Mystic God Temple. Yet, I was entitled to a recommendation slot, which was snatched away at the last moment. Having missed this Mystic God Temple selection, I am unresigned and have come to request an opportunity from the Mystic God Temple,”
In the air, Xu Mo spoke loudly, his voice resonating through the void, full of righteousness, bringing a sudden quiet to the surroundings, with countless eyes focused on him.
This guy was audacious, daring to make a scene just before the announcement of results.
Once missed, the Mystic God Temple selection is missed. Wait for next year—it was unheard of for anyone to dare do this.
Ahead, an elder of the Mystic God Temple frowned, displeased, and asked, “There is no such rule in the Mystic God Temple.”
“As far as I know, others have entered the Mystic God Temple through this method,” Xu Mo said loudly.
“Do you realize the consequences?” the elder of the Mystic God Temple asked.
“I’m willing to bear them,” Xu Mo replied.
The elder of the Mystic God Temple looked at Xu Mo, his brows unfurrowing, then said, “Very well, I’ll give you a chance. If you fail to present a satisfactory reason, you’ll bear the consequences for violating the Mystic God Temple’s rules.”
Though he gave Xu Mo an opportunity, his voice carried a murderous intent, making people tremble.
This Xu Mo was incredibly audacious.
However, this name seemed familiar.
From afar, Gao Hong, Ye Qingdie, and others looked at Xu Mo, fists clenched tightly, expressions solemn.
