The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1230: Chapter 273: Idol

The O’Brian Republic, where war has engulfed countless planets.

Civil strife has gradually emerged, with many planetary forces taking advantage of the chaos, and even interstellar thieves becoming increasingly rampant.

At this moment, in a space within the republic, a band of interstellar thieves with a dozen starships was intercepted, and the pirate leader quickly decided to surrender, but their flagship was still destroyed. The opposing starships absorbed this band of interstellar thieves.

On one of the starships, people continued to report to the flagship, and Commander Allen muttered, “These are pretty substandard starships. It’s fine to bully some weak starships without protection nowadays, but if they were really sent to the battlefield, they wouldn’t be of much use. They can only be used as cannon fodder. It’s just their bad luck to have come to the outskirts of the Skull Star Domain with these junk fleets.”

“Oh, our great Commander Allen seems to look down on ordinary starships,” a young man next to him said with a smile. “Do you know that back in the day, Byron Star couldn’t even produce a decent starship.”

“Back then is back then. Can it compare to now?” Allen chuckled. “No matter how bad Byron Star is now, the base can still produce some starships in a year. Of course, they’re not much use either, but don’t forget our current target.”

“What’s the target?”

“To conquer the universe, of course.” Allen looked out into space and said, “Our future opponents are the O’Brian Republic, the Kales Empire, and the Church.”

“Dreaming again,” the person next to him laughed.

“You don’t know shit,” Allen cursed softly. “You have to have dreams.”

At this moment, a signal came through, emitting a hissing sound.

“Allen…” A voice came through.

“I’m here,” Allen responded.

“Return immediately, there’s something important,” said the voice over the signal.

“I’m still hunting, what’s so important that can’t be said directly?” Allen asked.

“Return immediately, this is a military order,” came the voice from the other side.

“Yes.” Allen responded loudly and ordered, “Return course.”

The starship changed direction and headed towards a location. It wasn’t long before they arrived at a star domain filled with gigantic space boulders, resembling a cluster of skulls.

This was the Skull Star Domain, known as a forbidden area in this space, where those who entered rarely returned.

But Allen’s starship navigated smoothly through the Skull Star Domain; there had long been advanced routes inside, guiding their star fleet in and out.

After a while, they traversed into the interior of the Skull Star Domain and arrived at Skull Star.

Skull Star was populated with countless openings. The starship proceeded into a large opening, which looked like a hole from space but felt entirely different upon descent.

They arrived at the starship base of Skull Star.

Below, numerous starships were parked in various positions.

In one area, many people gathered together, seemingly waiting for something.

Once Allen and his crew landed, they exited the starship and headed towards the crowd, where they could spot high-ranking officials of the Skull Star Domain from afar.

Zack, Lincoln, the former leaders of Skull Star.

Also, their children, Hans and Nuolin.

Of course, Benjamin, the Supreme Commander of the Blue Star Fleet, was also present, along with other faces that were now high-ranking individuals.

Behind them were the leaders and commanders of various starships from the Blue Star Fleet, making it seem like everyone had arrived.

Seeing this scene, Allen felt a slight ripple in his heart—had something major happened?

Could it be that they were about to dispatch a large army to start a war with some faction?

He stepped forward, saluted, and loudly said, “Reporting to all officers, Allen reporting back.”

“Allen, return to the ranks,” Benjamin said.

“Sir, may I ask what happened?” Allen relaxed and asked.

“You’ll find out soon enough, return to the ranks,” Benjamin said.

Allen was somewhat puzzled but obediently returned to the lineup, watching the vast crowd ahead, utterly perplexed.

“What’s happening?” Allen asked the person next to him.

“Not sure, but it seems like they are welcoming someone?” the person next to him replied in a low voice.

“Who has such a big honor that they need this kind of welcome?” Allen muttered. “Engaging in this formalism? Can we leave?”

“Yes, it’s not mandatory,” the person next to him replied.

“Then why are you all staying here?”

“Curious.”

“Alright.” Allen muttered, wanting to see who had such a big face.

Just as they whispered, in the far direction, two starships opened the path. They were starships of the Skull Star Domain, followed by a small starship, descending upon this base.

As the starships slowly landed, Benjamin and the others moved forward, while the people behind them whispered, with some even criticizing this atmosphere.

From the distant direction, it seemed someone had disembarked from the starship. Benjamin and the others met with the arriving person and began walking toward where Allen and his group were.

Ryan and the others stuck their heads out and gazed toward that direction, curious about who it could be.

In the distance, at a central position, two figures appeared.

The pair consisted of a man and a woman; the man looked to be in his thirties, with a rugged and handsome face, while the woman was stunningly beautiful with silver hair spilling over her shoulders after she removed her helmet.

At the moment they saw these two, all eyes froze on them.

Ryan was first curious, then stunned, and finally blushed with a racing heart.

“Shit!”

An idol.

It wasn’t just Ryan; everyone around him felt the same way.

The arrivals were Xu Mo and Zero.

Xu Mo felt a bit helpless and said, “There’s no need for this.”

“This isn’t just formality, Xu Mo. You don’t realize your current status on Byron Star. After you see their expressions, you’ll understand,” Benjamin said with a smile.

He had arranged for people to greet them, hoping for these Warriors from Byron Star to personally welcome the idol in their hearts.

The existence of the Carrier had always been a secret known only to a few.

It was Xu Mo’s first time meeting with everyone in his true identity, having arrived at Skull Star.

This was, in a true sense, the first encounter.

Xu Mo truly didn’t understand his current status on Byron Star, after all, he had left Byron Star many years ago.

After he left, Byron Star became the center of that Star Domain and began to develop rapidly afterward.

The young talents who grew after that were fanatically devoted to Xu Mo, especially knowing that Xu Mo left Byron Star for a broader Universe; the person had left, but the worship and zeal only grew stronger.

Xu Mo could be said to be the common idol of the young generation on Byron Star.

Those who came to the Skull Star Domain did so out of admiration and pursuit of their idol, bringing with them sincere love and courage to embrace the vast Universe, standing on this land.

Xu Mo stepped forward and saw the figures in front of him, many of them seemed to be holding back words, unsure of what to say, some even blushed.

Xu Mo was somewhat moved; these people had come from Byron Star, fully aware before setting out that the Blue Star Fleet’s mission might be one of no return. They would leave their families and homeland, embarking on a deep-space journey.

Yet, they resolutely came anyway.

The people before him were all Heroes.

“I am Xu Mo, very honored to meet such brave Warriors,” Xu Mo said with an easy smile as he addressed the crowd.

The crowd didn’t know what to say; someone saluted, and instantly all figures raised their right hand in a military salute, as if this was their highest form of respect for the man who saved Byron Star’s destiny. He changed an era.

“Sir, can I take a photo with you?” someone shouted.

Xu Mo was taken aback, looked at the speaker, and replied with a smile, “Of course.”

As he said this, he took the initiative to walk towards the person, and the crowd immediately parted to form a path.

Afterward, Xu Mo was surrounded completely, busy non-stop…

Ye Qingdie and Xiao Qi silently watched everything from the side, feeling waves of warmth in their hearts.

It seemed everything he once did was worthwhile.

“Brother Mo has become an idol now,” Xiao Qi mumbled.

“Also a powerhouse,” Ye Qingdie responded.

Beside them, Benjamin and Su Rou watched the scene before them with bright smiles, and in that moment, many youthful memories flashed through their minds, so distant it seemed, evoking a sense of bygone times.

After a long time, Xu Mo was finally freed, and as they watched his departing silhouette, the crowd remained in revelry.

Ryan scratched his head, standing there grinning foolishly, he actually met the living Xu Mo and even touched him…

Xu Mo and Benjamin walked forward together.

Benjamin said, “These people are the best members of the current Blue Star Fleet. Additionally, Skull Star is constantly nurturing now; in recent years, we’ve rescued a batch of people from each battle-ridden star and the local population; they are all being developed with a specialized school on Skull Star, and Mr. Gaia used to guide them personally when he was here.”

“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded, he knew about these.

However, now Gaia and Fred have gone to Byron Star, the base of Byron Star is foundational there; that development can drive the development of Skull Star.

But all these, require time.

“Over at the group, they’ve been adopting a strategy of dividing into smaller units; Ross is busy outside, and Mr. Duncan is involved most of the time, and now we have markets on many planets,” Ye Qingdie said from the side.

“These matters aren’t urgent, after some time, better products will appear,” Xu Mo said. “For now, there is something that needs to be done, to check out the current situation of the Church at our outposts on various planets, and what they are up to.”

The O’Brian Republic has too many planets; currently, many have fallen into a state of order collapse; the Church wants to grow its followers and expand Church Power, but they can also take this opportunity to develop their own power on various planets secretly.

Of course, they aren’t looking to rule the planets but to open up a larger market.
