The Seventh Base

Chapter 1373: Chapter 132: Uncle?

Lin Qinghe’s starship was still traveling through space, continuing its journey toward the Emperor Star.

But just now, he received news that the Emperor Star had fallen.

At this moment, inside the starship, Lin Qinghe watched the scene before him, which showed two figures invading the Lin clan, Xu Mo and Zero, breaking into the Lin clan’s interior.

Everything was over.

His body trembled slightly, not daring to imagine what Xu Mo and Zero would do upon breaking into the Lin clan.

The Lin clan, his family, his closest relatives, were all there.

Not long ago, he had killed Qiong on the Kales Empire Capital Star.

Would Xu Mo and the others spare his descendants?

At this moment, Lin Qinghe felt a sense of fear.

This trip to the Kales Empire Capital Star held great expectations for him; he thought it would be a journey to strengthen the Emperor Star, to control the Kales Empire and make the Lin clan’s influence even stronger.

But he never imagined that the Battle of Asgard would stir the entire cosmic battlefield, with all sides rapidly changing.

Asgard was defeated, Saint Tiya Star conquered the Coriade Star Domain, the Kales Empire Fleet led by Sain failed to attack Skull Star, and most of the fleet surrendered.

Then, Xu Mo and the others formed an Alliance Army and directly attacked the Emperor Star.

Everything was so sudden.

The Emperor Star has fallen!

All the ambitions seemed like a void, and Lin Qinghe no longer thought of the Lin clan standing at the peak of the Universe; he only hoped his offspring could survive.

But the news was completely cut off.

In other areas of space, the Saint Tiya Star Army, the Church fleet, and the Odyssey Star Domain Alliance Army were now heading in the same direction, toward the Emperor Star, maintaining fleet communication and not daring to attack the Alliance Army formed by Xu Mo alone, as they were now in a frenzied state.

However, the fall of the Emperor Star was not bad news for them, as Tyrin from Saint Tiya Star always took the Lin clan as a reference, wanting to replace them and make the Saint Tiya Clan stand at the peak of the Universe.

But unexpectedly, the Lin clan was destroyed first, and now, the biggest opponent became Xu Mo and the others.

As for the Church, the Pope felt extremely excited as the fall of the Emperor Star meant that war had ignited on major main stars and shattered, getting closer to their goal.

Everything would start over.

The war on the Emperor Star has stopped.

The surface of the Emperor Star ceased resistance, and overhead the Emperor Star, oppressive starships blanketed the sky, making it difficult for the citizens to breathe, though they had no intention to destroy the Emperor Star, which was perhaps a relief.

At this point, starships began descending sporadically, starting to plunder the resources of the Emperor Star.

It seems, after conquering the Emperor Star, these people did not intend to build a foundation here.

“Xu Mo…”

This name was unfamiliar to the people of the Emperor Star, but he had twice caused turmoil on the Emperor Star, first causing a storm by visiting the Temple of Gods, and second directly conquering the Emperor Star.

The fate of the Emperor Star was influenced by him alone.

Xu Mo was now in the Temple of Gods, and it was not just him, a group of Destroyers had arrived, experiencing the Temple of Gods built by the former Emperor.

Inside the Temple of Gods, high above, Xu Mo sensed everything here.

The Origin Helmet floated in the air, and as before, it merged into this Universe, allowing Zero to sense memory fragments from her father’s memories.

What Xu Mo once felt, Zero also saw, countless memory fragments presented in her mind.

Another person saw them too, it was Lin Shou.

But his focus was different from Zero’s, as Zero cared more about the Emperor’s life fragments, whereas Lin Shou was focused on the Emperor’s ’ambition’.

“Bastard…” Lin Shou cursed inwardly.

To pursue that elusive unknown led to the family’s collapse and countless deaths.

Yet, when he saw that mighty figure emerge, he felt a different emotion, always being at the forefront, his pursuit of the unknown, ambition and exploration, his excellence, which allowed him to build a strong Empire and bring civilization to the Universe.

“I want to create the Temple of Gods, so the world can comprehend evolution here, explore the mysteries of the Universe, create gods, and enter a new era for humanity.” In the picture in his mind, the figure appeared majestic and full of charisma.

Much later, Lin Shou opened his eyes, retreating from those scenes.

“Bastard!” Lin Shou cursed under his breath, though his voice now seemed somewhat subdued, as if his emotions were downcast.

Seeing all this, he seemed to understand him better.

Why did he understand the sinner who led his family to collapse?

Perhaps because he had higher pursuits, transcending oneself, family, and even life and death.

He always led the progress of human civilization, dedicating his life to it, ultimately disappearing because of it.

“Hoo…” Lin Shou took a deep breath, then closed his eyes again, no longer sensing those memory fragments, but feeling this cosmic world.

In his perception, this cosmic world seemed independent, with various cosmic Source Powers here.

How did he achieve this step?

Xu Mo also sensed the cosmic world of the Temple of Gods, his spiritual power constantly merging into this cosmic world, but as he continued, he found the Universe seemed endless.

His consciousness seemed to travel through the infinite cosmic river, seeing the tumultuous cosmic colors, experiencing various cosmic Source Powers.

Ten years ago, he had broken through to the Destructive Realm here, and after entering the Destroyer, he continued to comprehend for a while.

After acquiring the Origin Helmet and undergoing over a decade of cultivation, his perception became more powerful, and his understanding of this Universe grew deeper.

Especially when his consciousness fused with the Origin Helmet, that sense would become even stronger.

The Origin Helmet seems to be very compatible with this Universe.

As time passed day by day, all the Destroyers who came to the Temple of Gods for the first time, except Xu Mo, felt the vastness of the Temple and truly experienced the might of the Silver Star Empire’s Emperor.

In the current era, Lin Qinghe aspires to become like the Emperor of the past, Tiya of the Saint Tiya Clan, the Holy Emperor Tyrin also wishes to surpass Lin, and even the Pope refers to himself as Emperor.

However, compared to the Empire’s Emperor, Lin Qinghe, Tyrin, and the Pope are far from him.

There’s not just a gap in cultivation level, but also in the spiritual realm.

The Emperor clearly exists in a higher dimension.

After experiencing everything within the Temple of Gods, they hold even greater reverence for the Emperor.

In a certain sense, he was once the ’God’ of the Universe.

The group cultivated for days in the Temple of Gods, and Gaia arrived at the temple.

Lin Shou was the first to open his eyes, looking towards Gaia.

“Mr. Gaia.” Lin Shou called out.

“Did seeing the memory scenes left by the Emperor leave any impressions?” Gaia asked.

“Arrogant and foolish,” Lin Shou seemed to still disagree, and Gaia said nothing more, instead looking toward Xu Mo and Zero, feeling many emotions in his heart.

“I have already announced the identity of the Princess,” Gaia said.

Lin Shou was not surprised, as he had known earlier.

Back then, Xu Mo and Gaia had plotted, with Xu Mo staying in the Abyss while Zero left. But recalling these incidents now, he didn’t mind.

In contrast, Xu Mo’s achievements perhaps had a bit of his contribution, hadn’t they?

“Is the fleet about to arrive?” Lin Shou asked.

“Yes.” Gaia nodded: “The Odyssey Star Domain fleet is actually waiting; before the other fleets arrive, they don’t dare to act alone.”

“Should I wake them up?” Lin Shou said, then his spiritual power poured into this Universe.

Moments later, Xu Mo and the others awoke from their contemplation and came toward him.

“Sir,” Xu Mo called out when he saw Gaia.

“The opposing fleet is nearly here,” Gaia said, “These days, the situation on Emperor Star has been sorted out; the fleet can withdraw at any time.”

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded, “Withdraw them.”

“Here…” Gaia looked at the Temple of Gods.

“Leave it; we’ll return.” Xu Mo didn’t want the Temple of Gods destroyed; it is a treasure.

“Okay,” Gaia nodded, he didn’t want to destroy it either, for it’s the Emperor’s legacy, marked by his imprint.

However, now that Xu Mo had taken the Origin Helmet, Lin Qinghe and others might also use the Temple for cultivation.

The group walked outside, Lin Shou looked at Zero and said, “Zero.”

Zero looked up at him.

“You should call me uncle,” Lin Shou said to her.

Xu Mo and Gaia glanced at Lin Shou, their eyes revealing deep meaning.

“Uncle,” Zero softly called, and by bloodline, Lin Shou was indeed the closest relative she had left.

“Good…” Lin Shou surprisingly showed a cheerful smile and said, “When you become the Empress of the Empire, Uncle will protect the Empire for you.”

“With Xu Mo around, it’s not necessary,” Gaia said with a smile.

Lin Shou snorted, then looked at Xu Mo and asked, “I still haven’t settled the account for your deception back then.”

“Uncle, I didn’t do it intentionally…” Xu Mo shrugged.

Lin Shou: “…”

This guy, he never changed the way he addressed him back then, but now he’s changed?

Lin Shou glanced at Zero, then understood.

So, is it the wife’s lead and the husband’s follow?

She called him uncle, so he certainly had no issue calling her the same.

As the group left the Temple of Gods, Xu Mo turned back to look; during this contemplation at the Temple, he glimpsed a different Universe.

So, did the Emperor explore the ultimate secret of the Universe?

Turning away, Xu Mo stepped out.

Not long after, the grand fleet set sail, departing from Emperor Star.

Countless people on Emperor Star looked skyward, watching the fleet’s departure.

Did the Emperor’s Princess and son-in-law return and conquer Emperor Star, and now are they leaving?

Will they return someday to re-establish the Empire on Emperor Star?
