The Seventh Base

Chapter 903: Chapter 5: The Grand Thieves Legion

The Silver Star Empire has ruled the known universe for tens of thousands of years. Such a long history allowed the Silver Star Empire to forge a unified world, first establishing humans as the dominant ruling class, and secondly unifying language and currency.

Life forms other than humans were either exterminated or enslaved. Humans coexisted equally with humans, but between different species, the relationship could only be one of annihilation and subjugation. It is said that before the Silver Star Empire ruled the known universe, humans had already engaged in years of warfare with other species, but ultimately, humans won the war.

To this day, although many races still exist in the known universe, they only exist as vassals of humans, such as slaves or pets.

However, after tens of thousands of years of rule, factions grew within the Empire, with various forces surging in secret. Thus, rumors began that when the empire’s myth collapsed, the Empire instantly fell into chaos. First, some warlord forces seized control of regions and established new empires, and republics were also formed, slowly growing to resist the Fake Empire.

Major top forces successively declared independence, with countless powers attempting to conquer the imperial capital. The Imperial Capital Star suffered a catastrophe, but even at the fall of the empire’s myth, the Lin family that controlled the Empire still contained near-godlike beings, deterring all sides. Because of this incomparable individual strength, the Lin family has survived to this day, continuing to reside on the Capital Star and remaining the faith of countless people, worshipped by many.

After that, various major forces emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Among these, the fastest-rising force was the Church. The Church, which had always been suppressed by the Empire, expanded rapidly in a terrifying manner after the empire collapsed, rising on major planets.

Today, the Church has become a force at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Of course, the Church referred to here is the Source God Sect. In fact, many other churches have emerged one after another, but none have the influence of the Source God Sect, whose power is limited.

Some dark forces also began to gestate simultaneously. The chaotic era is especially suitable for dark powers, with the Samo Army being one of the standouts. Besides them, there are various other dark forces that engage in plundering across the interstellar realm, resulting in the current extremely chaotic and very unsafe order among cosmic planets.

In the era of the Empire, traveling between planets was arbitrary, but now it’s not an easy task, and interplanetary travel involves certain risks, especially long-distance voyages.

Against this backdrop, all major forces have formed cultivation forces. The level of technology and weaponry determines the overall strength of a planet. However, through the long history of the universe, humans have discovered that top-tier individual power often has a decisive role.

For example, the rumored collapse of the Empire began with the fall of a legendary figure. Other major top forces also possess a large amount of top-tier individual combat power, especially at the pinnacle level.

Pinnacle individual combat power is essential; otherwise, no matter how strong the force, its leader would be assassinated by others.

This is an era where technology and martial power coexist. Humans use various means to evolve continuously, enhancing their cultivation. Here, Genetic Evolution Liquid is no longer an aberration like it was on Byron Star, but something that truly facilitates human evolution, at an extremely high price.

The warship sails through space, with Xu Mo and Lan Qing’s conversation deepening their understanding of this ‘Empire’.

The history of humanity is always much the same; regardless of the world, they are largely similar.

“There are cruisers patrolling.” At that moment, in the control room, the Intelligent Body system emitted a prompt tone, and the carrier spoke: “Display the image.”

On the screen, two small cruisers appeared, continuously emitting signals for detection.

Moreover, farther away, there are other cruisers.

“Evade them,” the carrier said.

“Currently in stealth mode,” the Intelligent Body responded. The Chiyou Warship continued its journey in space, equipped with advanced signal searching and jamming systems. As long as the Chiyou Warship intended to avoid them, it was unlikely for the opposing side to locate it, while the movements of the cruisers were laid bare.

The carrier frowned, feeling as if these cruisers came searching for them.

“Magnify the cruiser emblem,” the carrier said. On the screen, the cruiser became clearer, revealing a distinctive emblem: a cross sword, with a sharp-shaped edge.

Xu Mo had seen this emblem before, on the clothes of Solan and his group.

It seems these cruisers were indeed deployed by the Church for search operations. Their actions were so swift that after he killed Solan and his group, they immediately launched cruiser searches to find their location.

Furthermore, the opposing side must have dispatched quite a few cruisers; these were just the ones visible to them. If not for the strong concealment of the Chiyou Warship, they might have indeed been found by the opposite side.

The opposing side must have inferred the navigation route the Chiyou Warship would take and searched along the trajectory.

“General Lan Qing, how is the fleet strength of the Church?” Xu Mo asked. Previously Lan Qing only mentioned the terrifying influence and formidable individual combat power of the Church, but didn’t comment on the fleet.

“The Church’s fleet started relatively late, but after the Church expanded, they also began to focus on building fleet power. The Church recruited individuals from all over, rapidly advancing their fleet. Now they are already at a considerable scale. To my knowledge, the Church’s main goal now is to expand its fleet power, preparing for future hegemony.” Lan Qing replied.
