The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1172: Chapter 218: Family

Lin Shou’s gaze looked towards Gaia’s figure, only to see the other party slowly raise his head and look at him.

With Gaia’s ability, he was already able to split his spiritual power, taking care of both the clone and the original body simultaneously; however, doing so wouldn’t allow him to exert his full combat power.

However, at this moment, it was necessary.

A loud noise came from outside, and before long, a figure entered the underground palace, walking towards them. It was indeed the cloaked figure entering here.

“So, this is your setup?” Lin Shou looked at Gaia and said. He and Gaia were old acquaintances.

He was the Emperor’s younger brother, while Gaia was someone by the Emperor’s side. They had known each other for hundreds of years.

Gaia was extraordinarily intelligent; during the Empire era, his brother, the Emperor, referred to Gaia as the brain of the Empire. Thus, in the post-Empire era, Lin Shou spent a huge price to take down Gaia.

For this, he traveled across many planets, painstakingly plotting, attempting to make Gaia work for him.

However, their ideologies were not aligned, and Gaia didn’t quite like him.

He also didn’t like Gaia, but it didn’t stop him from admiring Gaia’s abilities.

“Lin Shou, it ends here.” Gaia spoke, slowly standing up.

“You’re the first person to walk out of my grasp.” Lin Shou said with a smile.

He was a very conceited person, but he knew this time he lost.

Since he lost, he accepted it.

He was well aware that in his current state, it would be difficult to stop the people behind him.

“Release them.”

Behind Lin Shou, the cloaked figure spoke up.

Lin Shou turned around, looked at that cloaked figure, and said with a smile: “You’ve been gone for hundreds of years, and yet you’ve appeared again, so the rumors inside the Lin family are true?”

Within the Lin family, there has always been a rumor known only to the higher-ups.

Coincidentally, Lin Shou was also aware of this.

“Since you have appeared, he must have grown up by now.” Lin Shou said, “Let me think.”

As he spoke, Lin Shou showed a thoughtful expression.

“Haha…” Suddenly, Lin Shou burst into laughter, looking at the figure in the cloak and said, “So, it is Xu Mo?”

“Indeed, he happens to be skilled in this area of abilities. No wonder Mr. Gaia felt a sense of kinship upon seeing him. So this is a family reunion?”

Lin Shou found it very interesting. Little did he expect that his descendant would appear before him like this, finding Gaia.

So, the other party rescued Gaia in preparation to have Gaia come out of seclusion to assist Xu Mo.

This is yet another grand chess game. Seeing this, the cosmic world is going to become lively.

The direct descendant of the Emperor has returned.

But, just relying on Xu Mo, plus these two assisting him, without a hundred years of development, it doesn’t seem enough, right?

Is the plan to cultivate to the pinnacle and return to the Lin family, or to develop forces?

At this moment, Lin Shou’s heart was suddenly filled with a strong sense of curiosity.

He was truly too interested in all of this, filled with anticipation.

“Xu Mo…” Lin Shou continued to mutter to himself: “No wonder, this young man is quite likable at first glance. It turns out he has a blood relation, so he should call me uncle. Interesting.”

“Release them.” A cold voice rang out, and the figure under the cloak was precisely Master Qiong.

The message was spread by her, with the aim of rescuing Gaia.

Nowadays, Xu Mo and Zero have already established their own territory, and they very much need Gaia’s help.

Hence, she came to the Abyss.

“Since I lost, I will naturally release them.” Lin Shou said.

This time, he indeed lost.

He originally thought his opponents were the various forces of the universe, but he never expected the schemers were the two before him.

Lin Shou walked to a place, and very straightforwardly unlocked the prison. Instantly, a surge of strong energy light flowed, and Gaia walked out of the light screen.

“Mr. Gaia, my apologies.” Lin Shou said with a laugh.

“May I leave now?” Gaia looked at Lin Shou and asked.

“No rush.” Lin Shou said, “Since I’ve already conceded, I naturally won’t make things difficult for Mr. Gaia anymore, but I think we can still collaborate. Mr. Gaia doesn’t necessarily have to leave the Abyss in a hurry.”

Gaia looked at Lin Shou and asked, “What collaboration?”

“Mr. Gaia continues to teach in the Abyss, of course with his real body; I will no longer place any restrictions on Mr. Gaia.” Lin Shou said, “We have a consensus, as before, the Abyss needs some changes. Xu Mo can also stay in the Abyss with Mr. Gaia to cultivate here; perhaps I can occasionally teach him as well.”

Gaia frowned and said, “If I don’t leave now, it might be harder to leave in the future.”

“Mr. Gaia should have some understanding of me. What I promise, I naturally won’t go back on, trust my sincerity. We have a common goal.” Lin Shou revealed a meaningful smile.

Xu Mo, he probably wants to take revenge, right?

The past grudge of clearing out the Lin family’s core lineage.

If Gaia assists Xu Mo, then, in the next few decades, this might become another powerful force.

With Gaia, Master Qiong, and the descendants of his brother, this lineup would already be very strong.

Moreover, Xu Mo now also carries the identity of the Mystic God Temple.

If both sides can reach a collaboration, then when he sets out from the Abyss in the future and Xu Mo comes out from the O’Brian Republic, this would again be a super strong force.

“I believe you also want to be my friend, not my enemy.” Lin Shou laughed and said, “If Xu Mo’s identity is exposed, I believe the Lin family would spare no expense to kill him, even if Xu Mo has the protection of the Mystic God Temple, can he be safeguarded? Unless, he disappears from the public’s view.”

A murderous intent emerged from Master Qiong’s body, and Gaia also frowned, as Lin Shou was threatening.

If you don’t cooperate, then Xu Mo’s identity will be exposed?

“Of course, I don’t wish to do this, after all, Xu Mo is now the only person in this world whose blood relation is closest to mine.” Lin Shou continued, “As an uncle, I ought to help my nephew and assist in his growth. Believe in my sincerity.”

“How long will you stay?” Gaia asked.

“Three years.” Lin Shou replied, “After three years, you are free to come and go. During this time, I will not impose any restrictions on you. Mr. Gaia needs only to focus on teaching, and I will assist Mr. Gaia in helping Xu Mo grow.”

Gaia looked towards Qiong Master, and the two communicated through spiritual power.

Lin Shou was not in a hurry; he stood there quietly.

Although he had been schemed against by the two this time, knowing everything, he did not feel disappointed. On the contrary, he was excited.

For him, this was good news, wasn’t it?

The world was going to become increasingly chaotic.

“Alright.” Gaia looked at Lin Shou and responded, “If you have any thoughts of harming Xu Mo, you will pay a greater price.”

Lin Shou smiled, “I have no reason to harm Xu Mo; I am his uncle.”

Qiong Master stared at Lin Shou, carrying an air of threat.

“Qiong, if we were to fight now, how confident are you in your victory?” Lin Shou asked.

“Seventy percent.” Qiong Master responded.

“What if I were uninjured and in peak condition?” Lin Shou asked again.

“Ten percent.” Qiong Master responded.

“Honest.” Lin Shou said, “Let’s go, I’ll see you out.”

With that, the three walked out together.

No fight, no storm.

It was as if there were no grievances at all.

Gaia, who was imprisoned here, did not have a single complaint.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

For people of their level, they never considered things with ’emotions’, only rationality.

Xu Mo and the others were always outside the military camp.

When they saw the three walking together, Xu Mo’s heart thudded.

Lin Shou, Qiong Master…the other must be Gaia.

The stand-in beside him had already fallen.

Satan, Montis, and others slightly bent and saluted Lin Shou.

“Greetings, Mr. Gaia.” Lin Shou spoke to them.

“Mr. Gaia.” Satan and the others nodded slightly towards Gaia. Although they might not have much respect for Gaia, they dared not disobey Lin Shou’s orders.

“Xu Mo.”

Lin Shou looked at Xu Mo, his eyes carrying a gentle smile.

Xu Mo didn’t quite understand Lin Shou’s gaze, but at this moment, he received a message from Gaia in his mind.

Although violent waves surged in his heart, he still suppressed his inner agitation, imprinted emotions, and maintained a state of calm.

“Xu Mo, you stay in the Abyss.” Qiong Master said to Xu Mo, then pointed to Zero, “I will take her with me and take good care of her.”

“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded in agreement, “Thank you, Qiong Master.”

“Qiong Master…” Zero looked at Qiong Master and then at Xu Mo, only to see Xu Mo nodding at her.

Subsequently, Qiong Master stepped forward, took Zero, and in a flash of a figure, the two left this place, disappearing into the void.

Xu Mo looked up, feeling a sense of relief.

With Zero here, he instead felt uneasy; now, with Qiong Master taking care, Xu Mo felt more at ease.

Only remembering that he became Zero’s stand-in made Xu Mo feel a bit strange.

Lin Shou had misunderstood the identities of the two and got them reversed.

Qiong Master and Gaia let the mistake stand.

For Qiong Master, Zero was, of course, the most important, as for him…the old witch sold him out thoroughly!

But being able to replace Zero and keep her out of danger, Xu Mo could only accept it.

Moreover, this trip brought great harvests.

Gaia!

He confirmed the identity of Zero and also confirmed Gaia’s stance.

Gaia would assist Zero.

Is there still a divide between Zero and him?

So…

The Gaia, whom the entire universe competes over, will become his ally; this is undoubtedly exciting news.

He did nothing yet obtained the person that major forces in the universe want to acquire.

All this, just because he has a good girlfriend…still, the sweet soft rice is fragrant.

According to the data from the Mystic God Temple, Gaia, a scientist, a mathematician, a prophet…and, he knows many secrets of the Empire, a human computer possessed with photographic memory, simply a protagonist template.

The Blue Star forces he established lack a brain figure, a soulful persona to lead the base forward.

Is there anyone more suitable than Gaia?
