The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1322: Chapter 81: History

The Lin Family, within the Imperial Hall.

A figure quietly sits in the center of the hall, eyes closed in cultivation. Centered around him, it’s as if a universe is in motion.

“Qinghe, you are the most talented of our Lin Family line; your future achievements may surpass mine.” In his memory, Lin Qinghe’s mind conjured up many images as a gentle voice, brimming with hope, spoke to him with a smile.

“Qinghe, the path of cultivation lies in comprehending the mysteries of the universe, rather than rushing for quick success. You will sooner or later reach my level. In the future, the family’s burden will fall upon your shoulders. We will lead the family and the Empire to new heights.”

“Qinghe, the Empire may have many spectacular civilizations today and humanity continues to advance in evolution, yet I feel something is missing. To date, we haven’t explored life beyond the unknown universe. I wish to build the Temple of Gods, so that talented individuals of the Empire may come here to cultivate, jointly comprehending the universe’s mysteries, allowing humanity to reach further.”

“Qinghe, I am somewhat worried. At this point in evolution, the universe seems to have something hindering my progress. Until now, we have explored distances of countless light-years away but have yet to discover life forms beyond the known universe. Do other cosmic worlds exist? Does the universe truly exist? Could the rules we have discovered be set by higher dimensional beings?”

“I seem to have discovered something. If one day I encounter an accident, Lin’s people, you must use the Temple of Gods as a foundation to continue leading humanity forward in exploration.”

His last words weren’t addressed to him alone.

Lin Qinghe opened his eyes, and those dark pupils contained a terrifying light.

“Big brother, the Lin Family is not just yours; it belongs to the entire family.” Lin Qinghe seemed to be talking to himself. He wasn’t the Emperor’s biological brother but came from the same family and had the highest talent and cultivation closest to his.

“The Lin Family founded the Empire. We, Lin, are the rulers of this universe. I have always remembered your words, to lead the family forward and reach further, rather than chasing that elusive unknown.”

“You’re a genius, you’re a madman. You want to bear the fate of humanity, to carry civilization forward, but I am not. I originate from the Lin Family; I am accountable only to the family.”

“The Temple of Gods is your final masterpiece; it belongs to the Lin Family, not to everyone.”

“I couldn’t follow your will, but for the family’s sake, I have no regrets.” Lin Qinghe slowly spoke, “Now, the Temple of Gods has opened once again. Are you still there?”

Lin Qinghe had been muttering to himself for hundreds of years. Some things, after all, are never fully let go.

Back then, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to use the Temple of Gods as a foundation to lead humanity’s talents in a shared evolution toward a higher future.

The order he established made Emperor Star civilized and free.

However, it also took away the Lin Family’s power as rulers.

If his will were to continue being executed, the universe would give rise to more and more talented individuals, possibly even those at the Destroyer Level. Then, would the Lin Family remain the Lin Family?

The Lin Family’s authority would face enormous challenges.

Humanity might continue to advance, but the Lin Family would inevitably decline and eventually exit the stage of history.

Thus, the Lin Family broke out in a sensational civil war, which became the trigger for the Empire’s turmoil.

Lin Qinghe stepped towards the outside of the hall, with eyes as if shining with a divine light. Regardless of whether the universe truly exists, he feels it as real.

If it is a real sensation, then why seek the nonexistent?

The door of the hall opened, Lin Qinghe walked outside, stood on the steps, looked toward the Sky City of the Lin Family, and gazed further at the Emperor Star. At this moment, he stood at the highest point.

The Lin Family will forever stand atop the universe; he will reshape the glory of the Empire era for the Lin Family.

……

Xu Mo is still immersed in the shock of seeing the handwriting.

His Majesty the Emperor has reached humanity’s highest point of evolution, the strongest in the entire universe, yet such a being doubts the reality of the universe.

Xu Mo has thoughts from two lifetimes. He knows that some extremely famous individuals, even scientists, in his past life also believed in ‘God’-like concepts.

Of course, the ‘God’ they believed in differed from that of some common people’s beliefs.

Many ordinary people believe in the existence of ‘God’ out of ignorance, even foolishly thinking that God can grant them something, while top-level wise people believe because they know too much.

Knowing the vastness of the universe, they feel their own insignificance, sensing their ignorance, hence questioning the existence of higher-dimensional life forms.

Otherwise, with the universe’s countless years of history, why does only the planet they inhabit have life forms?

One theory says that discovering alien life means the universe is real; if alien life isn’t found, then the reality of the universe should be questioned more.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor raising such a question is likely because he hasn’t discovered life beyond the unknown universe, but has he discovered something else?

Of course, compared to the past life, the current universe is more real because the Empire indeed has many Life Stars, as well as various races, and humans even once cleansed other races.

However, since the Empire’s unification, the known universe ceased discovery. The Empire has been exploring the unknown universe but to no avail, which led to His Majesty’s doubt.

In the previous life, not even a single other Life Star was discovered.

“Gaia might know something.”

A thought arose in Xu Mo’s mind; Mr. Gaia was someone close to the Emperor, naturally knowing a lot, but he’s only roughly mentioned a few things and not too detailed.

Gaia probably also has some of his own thoughts.

But this is normal, everyone in the world is different, each with their own stance and ideas, he’s just Zero’s boyfriend, and even though Gaia is loyal to the Emperor, he might not be absolutely loyal to him.

Several curses echoed around, and they continued moving upwards, the pressure mounting. They felt as though they were not in the Temple of Gods, but deep within the Universe, and this was the Universe itself.

Xu Mo shared the same feeling, moving upward like the others.

A great battle erupted in the Temple of Gods years ago, destroying many things, but what exactly lies deeper in?

Where is the Cosmic Treasure Gaia mentioned?

Was the battle back then a clash between the top figures of two major factions?

The group moving upward was like traversing through the Universe.

“Cosmic Source Power.”

Xu Mo sensed the presence of Cosmic Source Power, and it was of different attributes.

“Cosmic Source Power.” Lin Bo similarly sensed it. As the person with the highest realm beneath Lin’s Destroyer, it’s said that he already has one foot in the Destroyer Level, so he was the first to sense the Cosmic Source Power.

Xu Mo closed his eyes, his spiritual power extending outward, merging with this Universe.

Instantly, countless dazzling colors imprinted themselves within Xu Mo’s mind.

“Dong…”

Suddenly, a fierce ultimate force struck, causing his spiritual power to tremble and nearly shatter. Instantly, countless images flooded into his mind, challenging continuously as if flipping through countless pages in a moment.

“Is this… fragments of history?” Xu Mo’s heart palpitated; could this Universe record historical fragments?

Among these countless images, the most frequently appearing was a figure.

That figure was towering and majestic, dignified yet gentle, exuding unparalleled charm in every gesture, with eyes like divine ones, profoundly deep, seemingly able to penetrate hearts.

“The Emperor?” Xu Mo’s heart leapt; if this image was of the Emperor, it also meant it was Zero’s father.

In those images, he seemed to see scenes of the Emperor’s cultivation and the Emperor summoning many Transcendents of the Lin Family here.

Xu Mo thought that if he could decipher those images, he would probably know everything that happened, including the purpose of the Temple of Gods’ construction.

But these images were too fuzzy, flipping rapidly like movie scenes.

In those images, he also saw a terrifying battle with top-tier experts fighting in the cosmic realm of the Temple of Gods, a scene extremely frightening, as if each existence was a Destroyer-level figure.

Xu Mo’s heart stirred; although the Lin Family rebellion could be simply summarized with one sentence—Lin rebellion, purging the core lineage—at its essence, it was undoubtedly a thrilling piece of history. The Emperor ruled for tens of thousands of years, how could he not have confidants loyal unto death, even if many were dissatisfied, launching a rebellion, there must have also been a fierce battle.

This was indeed the case; the Empire held ruling power but suddenly collapsed, various powerful ones rising for only one reason, Lin family’s internal split, leading to a terrifying level of civil war, causing other factions to seize the chance to rise.

The scenes before confirmed this.

The ending was already known, the rebels won the civil war, yet the Empire collapsed, the Universe fragmented.

This battle probably claimed the lives of quite a few Destroyer-level beings.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, people around seemed to sense something, many eyes turned to Xu Mo, seeing Cosmic Energy Light flowing around his body, as if he was merging with this Universe, something seemingly happening within him.

Did he glimpse something?

Lin Qing also showed a hint of a different color; Xu Mo was the first to exhibit abnormalities.

“Lu Ze.”

Just then, a voice sounded, wanting to bring Xu Mo out of that state, from Wang Xu, a top-ranked Skywalker seventh in the Cosmic Virtual Battlefield.

Lin Qing frowned; Wang Xu’s interruption towards Xu Mo could be said as extremely impolite.
