The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1305: Chapter 64: Direction

The Abyss Fleet and Base Number withdrew from Midgard Star together.

After they left, the Pope returned to the Temple and ordered the retreat of the fleet invading the O’Brian Republic.

In space, Base Number, Lin Shou appeared here.

“Thank you, sir,” Xu Mo thanked Lin Shou.

“You should call me uncle,” Lin Shou replied, looking at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo did not call him uncle, and Lin Shou didn’t care. He smiled and said, “Do you want to know the outcome of my battle with the Pope just now?”

Xu Mo was taken aback, looking at him. Did they determine a winner?

“I lost,” Lin Shou turned and sat on a chair, looking out of the starship. He spoke, “This Pope of the Church is stronger than I imagined, and he didn’t want to fight desperately with us, so he agreed to a mutual retreat.”

“Moreover, he even invited me to cooperate with him,” Lin Shou looked at Xu Mo.

“Cooperate?” Xu Mo looked at Lin Shou. Earlier, the Pope mentioned cooperation with him as well.

“Yes, to jointly destroy all forces, let the Abyss rule the universe, but the universe must believe in the Church. He and I will jointly govern the universe,” Lin Shou said. “He even agreed with my ideology, willing to assist me in a cosmic forces purging. From our conversation, I could sense that this Pope is sincere.”

“Perhaps he has also mentioned similar cooperation with the Kales Empire, the Lin family, and Saint Tiya Star,” Xu Mo responded. Previously, the Church had betrayed the Kales Empire, killed Lonco, and sought to make the O’Brian Republic and Kales Empire fight to the death.

“So, what is this ‘Pope’s’ true objective?” Lin Shou’s eyes were deep. He could not quite see through the Pope. During the previous battle, Lin Shou even felt the opponent holding back…

Facing him, did he actually show mercy?

This made Lin Shou feel humiliated.

But it also told him one thing: the Pope didn’t even want to deal with the Abyss, even though they waged war against Midgard, destroying many cities and leaving Midgard severely damaged. From the Pope, Lin Shou did not sense hatred.

This kind of person made Lin Shou feel a strong dread.

They might be the same kind of people.

“Have you considered agreeing to his cooperation?” Xu Mo asked, looking at Lin Shou.

Lin Shou looked at Xu Mo and smiled, “Are you probing me?”

Indeed, he is the Abyss King; how could Xu Mo completely trust him?

“No, I’m asking you directly. Since you’re telling me these things, naturally, you will tell me the clear answer,” Xu Mo said.

“Of course,” Lin Shou said with a smile. “This universe belongs to the Lin family. Only the Lin family has the right to control the universe. No one else is qualified to share it.”

The Lin mentioned by Lin Shou does not include the current branch on Emperor Star.

“And you, you bear the Lin surname, unlike others. You have the right. You are his descendant, even though I don’t agree with his ideology,” Lin Shou stared at Xu Mo, his tone gradually becoming serious. “After receiving your message, I came to the battlefield immediately. Why? Because I am your real uncle, we share the same blood. As long as you agree with my ideology, I can even give everything to you. In the future, you will rule this universe; I can assist you.”

“Give to me?” Xu Mo looked at Lin Shou.

“Yes, give it to you,” Lin Shou smiled with a hint of wickedness. “I have no interest in power. As long as you nod, the Abyss can become your strength. This way, you will have the Abyss, plus Gaia, your base, and the Star Ring, and you can utilize the O’Brian Republic. I believe one day the universe can return to our hands.”

“Agree with your ideology? What should I do?” Xu Mo asked.

“Destroy the existing order and establish an order of our own. All star domains need to be firmly under our control, with the upper figures serving us,” Lin Shou said. “The baseness of humanity has been proven in the era after the collapse of the Empire. I don’t trust anyone; I only trust myself.”

Xu Mo looked at Lin Shou and said, “Do you trust me?”

“I do,” Lin Shou answered, looking at Xu Mo. “Of course, if you ultimately betray me, I will kill you with my own hands.”

“What if I don’t agree?” Xu Mo asked.

Lin Shou looked at Xu Mo with a sinister smile.

“This is just my vessel. Even if you control it, it’s useless. Moreover, there’s the ‘Hive’ weapon in Base Number. If anything happens to me, it will explode immediately, destroying Base Number. You know, when I came here, I didn’t have plans to leave alive,” Xu Mo said, slowly looking at Lin Shou.

The two stared at each other, the atmosphere in the starship becoming particularly oppressive.

Xu Mo was certainly aware that while Lin Shou had helped him, he also had another identity, the King of the Abyss.

In the silence, Xu Mo continued, “Moreover, to accomplish what you want, is it entirely because of your ideology? Do you want to prove to him that you are right, that your ideology can rule the Cosmic Empire for generations?”

In Lin Shou’s heart, there was a strong obsession.

His subconscious has always been comparing himself to his elder brother, there is admiration, but also confrontation, there is familial love, but also hatred.

“So what?” Lin Shou smiled.

“So, I inherited his will, and since that’s the case, let’s see who can realize their ideals first,” Xu Mo said. “But before that, at least we can join forces, after all, the same blood flows within us.”

Lin Shou stared at Xu Mo for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, “You’re much more interesting than him, so… I agree.”

With that, Lin Shou got up and left.

The attack on Midgard made him realize that after hundreds of years, the power of the Abyss wasn’t actually that formidable; these forces also had hundreds of years of accumulation, erupting all at once.

They needed to join forces.

After Lin Shou left, he led the Abyss army to the Odyssey Star Domain, he needed to settle some scores.

The great families of the Odyssey Star Domain were once the Empire’s subjects, and in Lin Shou’s eyes, they were all traitors.

Besides the current Lin lineage, the top tycoons of the Odyssey Star Domain were his most hated targets, even surpassing the Church, because during the dark turmoil concerning the Empire’s Lin family, the Church hadn’t yet risen.

So this time, let’s collect some interest first.

…

In the O’Brian Republic, after the battle, the Capital Star was in a scene of devastation.

Xu Mo and the others returned to the Mystic God Temple, while Osman still stood high in the sky issuing orders.

At that moment, not far from them, detectors shot into space; not only here, but many detectors flew out from the Capital Star.

Seeing this, Osman revealed a hint of a different color and asked, “Who issued the order?”

He was somewhat skeptical.

“Mr. Osman.” At that moment, a voice arrived, as a mechanical figure appeared not far in front of him, the mechanical figure suspended in the air, its eyes seemed to have the light of life.

“Mr. Mystic God?” Osman replied.

“Although the opponent’s fleet chose to retreat, it still needs real-time surveillance. I dispatched the Capital Star detectors; they will redraw the outer area of the Capital Star to monitor fleet movements,” the mechanical figure responded. “Additionally, all weapons on the Capital Star must be ready at any time, after all, if the opponent fires star-annihilation weapons in space and we fail to respond promptly, without the defense of the Space Base, the Capital Star would face catastrophic disaster.”

Without the defense of the Space Base means that ground weapons must always be ready to defend against space attacks, needing precise defense.

“Thank you, sir.” Osman said without changing his expression, “In this war, without you, the Capital Star would likely already be breached.”

“It’s my duty,” the mechanical body replied, “I’ll head back now.”

With these words, the light in the mechanical body’s eyes dissipated, as if everything was normal, and the Mystic God left it.

Beside him, Fernand frowned slightly and spoke, “Leader…”

“Teacher.” Osman directly interrupted Fernand, as if knowing what he wanted to say, he glanced around him; the sky was filled with mechanical bodies. Though the Mystic God had just left, actually, it was already omnipresent.

“Let’s go back.” Osman said, Fernand frowned tightly, following Osman.

Though they knew the Mystic God was strong, they hadn’t expected the Mystic God to appear in such a manner, a little beyond expectations.

Furthermore…

In the Mystic God Temple, Adela Palace Master, Xu Mo, and others all returned here.

At this moment, many Transcendents cultivating in the Mystic God Temple were extremely emotional, the founder of the Mystic God Temple appeared in such a shocking manner, saving the O’Brian Star, which was undoubtedly inspiring, especially as cultivators of the Mystic God Temple, many felt honor.

The Mystic God, he is the savior of the O’Brian Republic, and the people of the Capital Star in O’Brian Republic will all thank him.

“Hall Master, what’s all this about?” Xu Mo asked Adela Palace Master while walking in the Mystic God Temple. “The Mystic God, did he create the Mystic God Temple, and why did he become an Intelligent Body?”

“The Mystic God didn’t always go by that name; he was indeed the founder of the Mystic God Temple, but later, he tried another path, becoming the Mystic God we know now,” Adela Palace Master explained, “You becoming the first sequence was a decision by the Mystic God.”

Xu Mo thought about his first entry into the Mystic God Virtual Trial Field; perhaps it was that moment he officially came into contact with the Mystic God and attracted the Mystic God’s attention.

In other words, from that point, the Mystic God had been observing him, and the Mystic God’s understanding of him might be far greater than he imagined, which is why he designated him as the first sequence of the Mystic God Temple.

But with the presence of the Mystic God, what role does the first sequence heir play?

“The goal of the Mystic God Temple is to explore the ultimate goal of cultivation, to explore the mysteries of the Universe, so is the Mystic God trying a new way of exploration?” Xu Mo murmured, such a method would be revolutionary, possibly leading humanity toward another direction.
