The Seventh Base

Chapter 1170: Chapter 216: The Truth

The battle subsided, and there was no more commotion in the sky.

A beam of light descended from the sky, and Lin Shou returned.

“My lord.” The Abyss Generals stepped forward to look at Lin Shou.

“Evacuate the Abyss immediately. Those who do not evacuate will be killed without mercy.” Lin Shou glanced at the high sky, his voice penetrating the space.

“Yes, my lord.” The Abyss Generals bowed in response, their eyes filled with fanaticism and awe.

Even if forces from all over the universe fledged together, how could it matter? The Abyss King single-handedly shook all the major leaders.

“Did Lin Shou win?”

Xu Mo looked at Lin Shou. If Lin Shou had won, then his combat power was indeed terrifying. Moreover, other forces wanting to make a move on Gaia might be impossible.

“Members of the Mystic God Temple can stay as they please, without restriction.” Lin Shou added.

Beside Xu Mo, the pupils of the two Hall Masters contracted as they stared at Lin Shou.

This sentence held bad intentions.

During this battle, the Mystic God Temple maintained a neutral stance, not assisting either side; however, during the fight, they did make a move, especially striking harshly against the Church.

In such circumstances, the Church would inevitably view the Mystic God Temple as an enemy, and the conflict between them was irreconcilable, while other forces held grievances as well.

Lin Shou’s words were enough to deepen the prejudice against the Mystic God Temple.

“Hmph.”

Sure enough, from high in the sky came a cold snort, the voice of a Church Elder, who said loudly, “Mystic God Temple, your collusion with the Abyss has been noted on account.”

From the sky, a figure descended—it was Mo Yi, the Hall Master of the Mystic God Temple on Scott Star, ranked second among the ten Hall Masters, in the Realm of Destroyer.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, but the Mystic God Temple has promised not to fight over Gaia anymore, so we won’t stay in the Abyss. However, I must take away the people from the Mystic God Temple.” Mo Yi said.

“Of course.” Lin Shou coughed and then said, “Except for Xu Mo, all others from the Mystic God Temple can be taken away.”

“Xu Mo is also a cultivator of the Mystic God Temple.” Mo Yi replied.

“He joined the Abyss himself and came here. If he wants to leave now, it would be toying with me.” Lin Shou glanced at Xu Mo and stated.

Mo Yi stared at Lin Shou, and the two seemed to form a confrontation.

Mo Yi had not participated in the previous battle, but he had witnessed the process.

Lin Shou was very strong; as the younger brother of the Emperor, he was certainly one of the most powerful cultivators known in the universe, fighting multiple people without defeat.

In terms of combat power, Mo Yi considered himself no match.

Even within the same realm, there were disparities.

The founder of the Mystic God Temple, O’Brian Republic Leader Aus, Pope of the Church, the first of the Lin Clan, the Lord of Saint Tiya Star Divine Country… these might be Lin Shou’s peers.

“I’ll stay here,” Xu Mo said.

As long as Gaia was not dead, it would surely appear again.

Whether in the form of a carrier or occupying someone else’s body, he had already become familiar with Gaia, and he needed to understand Zero’s identity and clarify the deaths of Wu Lai and Asaka.

Lin Shou bore him no malice; otherwise, killing him would have been easy, as there was no one here who could match Lin Shou.

Mo Yi looked at Xu Mo, only to hear Lin Shou laughing as he said, “Look, he chose to stay himself. I quite admire the Mystic God Temple. Why not join forces?”

Mo Yi did not answer Lin Shou; instead, he looked around and said, “Withdraw.”

With that, he turned and left.

The Skywalkers of the Mystic God Temple gathered and followed.

Taros Temple Master looked at Xu Mo and whispered, “Take care of yourself.”

“I know.” Xu Mo nodded.

Avery and Wang Ming also glanced at Xu Mo without saying anything.

Zero naturally chose to stay with Xu Mo.

“Stay in the Abyss?” Rodrigo glanced at Xu Mo, courting death.

Vera O’Brien’s expression was complex.

A group of them departed in grand fashion, leaving this place.

The other major forces, after such a bloody battle, also withdrew.

This battle began with Skywalkers erupting in a massive group battle, resulting in heavy casualties on all sides.

Among them, the Church suffered the most severe losses, with the highest number of fallen Skywalkers.

The Abyss side was equally tragic, with an unknown number of Abyss Monsters killed, two out of the twelve War Generals falling, several severely injured, and even Satan wounded.

After the Skywalker battle, a terrifying battle among several giants erupted. After this battle, the forces saw Lin Shou’s combat power and determination; they knew they could not take Gaia away.

They had no idea where Gaia was, and forcing Lin Shou to reveal it was virtually impossible.

Ultimately, the major forces could only choose to retreat.

The Mystic God Temple also left, without paying much ‘attention’ to Xu Mo before departing, which was to avoid catching Lin Shou’s notice, as Lin Shou knowing Xu Mo’s position in the Mystic God Temple could be detrimental to him.

As for Xu Mo being left in the Abyss, for the Mystic God Temple’s ‘first sequence’ to grow, they would inevitably have to go through some experiences. Otherwise, would they truly grow to become the successor of the Mystic God Temple?

Thus, the direct confrontation between the universe’s major forces and the Abyss finally concluded.

After the forces left, Lin Shou had the Abyss commanders handle their affairs, as this area had been devastated and needed resettlement.

“Cough…”

After everyone had left, Xu Mo heard Lin Shou issue a light cough, and at that moment, Xu Mo clearly sensed the fluctuation in Lin Shou’s aura.

Lin Shou was injured.

It seemed that the battle in the sky was more brutal than he had imagined.

Lin Shou was indeed injured, and the injuries were not light.

Of course, not only he was injured, but those giants didn’t fare well either. If the battle continued, it’s feared some giants might fall into the Abyss, which is why the battle ended.

“Why do you want me to stay in the Abyss, senior?” Xu Mo asked.

“You are a person of the Abyss, so of course you should stay in the Abyss.” Lin Shou looked at Xu Mo and said, “You killed a Skywalker from the Mystic God Temple, and yet they still care for you like this. Your position in the Mystic God Temple must be quite high, right?”

He smiled, and it was understandable; Xu Mo and Zero both displayed very strong combat power.

Xu Mo did not answer.

“From now on, you will stay in the Abyss and assist Gaia in managing school affairs,” Lin Shou continued. “You have seen what those foreign forces have done, and in the future, your Mystic God Temple might not have it easy either. If there’s an opportunity, should we join forces?”

He could see that Xu Mo held a high position in the Mystic God Temple and was very talented.

In the future, there might be a chance for him to become a high-ranking member of the Mystic God Temple.

Moreover, in this battle, the position of the Mystic God Temple was awkward, and Xu Mo himself killed many people, especially those from the Church.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; they have the chance to join forces.

Therefore, he kept Xu Mo here as a guest for a while.

“Assist Gaia?” Xu Mo murmured.

Lin Shou did not answer and turned away, saying, “Enjoy, Abyss guest.”

“Senior, can you do me a favor?” Xu Mo asked, wanting to investigate the killers of Wu Lai and Asaka.

“If there’s any issue, find Montis, he will help you,” Lin Shou said, his back to Xu Mo.

……

The next day, the school’s order began to restore, and a new teacher appeared, again a middle-aged man with glasses.

“Xu Mo, Zero.”

The middle-aged man called out when he saw Xu Mo and Zero.

“Mr. Gaia?” Xu Mo looked at him and asked.

“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded.

“This is…” Xu Mo sensed that his guess might be correct, just like when he controlled Moluo.

Gaia had chosen a new substitute.

“You’ve used such methods before,” Gaia said. “These substitutes are death row prisoners of the Abyss, and now, another substitute has been chosen.”

Xu Mo felt a slight ripple in his heart; Gaia was adept at spiritual power, and after his spiritual power transferred, the substitute could still burst with immense combat power.

Xu Mo nodded, thinking that Gaia’s true body should be somewhere on this planet.

But he now had a doubt.

Gaia, was he willing, or was he forced?

With the substitute doing things, was his true body being controlled by Lin Shou?

However, he didn’t find it convenient to ask too many questions.

“I know you have many doubts, but for now, don’t ask too much. You will soon know the answer,” Gaia’s voice appeared in Xu Mo’s mind. “Everything as usual, you help me with my tasks.”

Xu Mo showed a hint of a different expression but said nothing. Since Gaia transmitted a message to him, it might be to guard against people here.

It seemed that the relationship between Gaia and Lin Shou might not be that harmonious.

“Tidy up the classroom,” Gaia walked forward, and Xu Mo followed behind him.

At this moment, Xu Mo did have many questions, but since Gaia had spoken, he didn’t ask.

Would he soon know the answer?

How should this be interpreted?

Was it as he suspected, that some matters behind this war might soon be revealed?

Who released the information that instigated this war, and who would benefit?

What would happen next?

Later, the other matter Xu Mo wanted to investigate finally had a lead.

Montis brought an Abyss Monster to Xu Mo’s side.

“The matter you want to investigate is right here,” Montis said coldly.

“It?” Xu Mo looked at the Monster.

“You should be able to invade memories, right?” Montis said.

Xu Mo nodded and looked at the Monster, his gaze sharp; in the next moment, his spiritual power invaded.

The Monster emitted a deep roar, Xu Mo’s spiritual power forcefully invaded, probing into the other’s memory.

In a flash, he saw a scene.

When the war broke out, this Monster was running amok outside, passing a place from afar. There, the Monster glimpsed a shadow attacking two Cultivators.

From the shadow emerged a sharp, domineering Big Spear, slaying two Skywalkers one after another.

Then, he walked up to a girl and directly wiped her out, leaving no remains.

“Boom…”

Seeing this, a terrifying cold killing intent spread, that killing intent was intense, making the Monster tremble violently, its body directly prostrating on the ground.

“Rodrigo!”

Xu Mo opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot.
