The Seventh Base

O'Brian Republic's capital plaza, numerous massive starships were parked here at this moment. Countless people looked in this direction, their hearts filled with awe.

They had received news not long ago that the O'Brian Republic's team would embark on a journey to the Empire Trial Ground. The top-tier Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple would accompany them, representing the Republic in the Trial Ground.

The history of the Empire Trial Ground traces back to the era of the Silver Star Empire. It was the Trial Ground of the Ancient Royal Family, now open to the known universe's major powers.

In other words, the geniuses from the O'Brian Republic on this expedition would compete at the Empire Trial Ground with prodigies from top forces in the universe, as well as geniuses from various cosmic races.

This is going to be an extremely significant journey. No one knows what the outcome will be. According to sources, the Empire Trial Ground is now known as a genius graveyard, where countless prodigies have fallen, making it very dangerous with a high mortality rate.

Against such a backdrop, the geniuses from the O'Brian Republic still intend to set out. Moreover, the leader of the army is the Republic Leader's son, Heath O'Brien.

In the distance, flying devices were landing one after another, as talented individuals from various factions arrived here. The military had arrived early, with a strict formation.

At this moment, another group of flying devices streaked across the sky and landed in this area.

"Those are from the Mystic God Temple."

Countless gazes turned in that direction, recognizing the flying devices from the Mystic God Temple.

Soon after, those assigned to the Mystic God Temple began to disembark from the flying devices. They would travel together on the Republic's starship. This trial task was dominated by the Republic, with the Mystic God Temple being only part of the team.

Of course, this action gathered top-tier geniuses from ten temples, including eminent figures. All of the Mystic God Temple's direct disciples would set off. The Mystic God Temple's headquarters regarded this operation seriously and dispatched many elders to accompany them, even bringing along a Hall Master.

Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple Hall Master, Taros, would ensure the safety of the Mystic God Temple's Transcendents on the journey.

The reason Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple Hall Master was chosen had something to do with Xu Mo. Xu Mo is currently the Mystic God Temple's 'First Sequence' Transcendent and ranks among the ten Hall Masters. He hails from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, and Taros would naturally take good care of his safety.

Thus, Taros would join the expedition.

Moreover, the Republic also dispatched several dignitaries to accompany them.

At that moment, a group of individuals approached from a distance. The leader was none other than Heath O'Brien. The surrounding people's expressions were solemn, and immediately, all the cameras focused on Heath O'Brien.

The son of the Republic Leader was setting out for the Empire Trial Ground, where he would encounter top talents from across the universe and engage in clashes with them. He would even encounter the Kales Empire's legions, which might result in a fierce battle.

The war between the Republic and the Kales Empire was likely to continue in the Empire Trial Ground. This was a highly dangerous mission, and Heath O'Brien's willingness to personally head out had significant political implications.

For this expedition, reporters from the Republic would follow them to report and transmit the news back to the Republic.

After Heath O'Brien arrived, he greeted the people from the various factions, performed the Republic's ritual ceremony, and finally, he boarded the starship. Standing atop, he saluted the crowd with a Republic military salute and said, "Set off."

After speaking, he turned and entered the starship.

"Set off."

"Set off."

Voices echoed as people from various factions stepped onto the starship.

For this operation, the Republic dispatched a fleet as escort ships to prevent them from being ambushed, given the smoke and flames currently filling the universe's space.

The Mystic God Temple's Transcendents entered the starship's main ship.

Inside the starship were many independent rest cabins. Upon entering the starship, arrangements were made, and simultaneously, the starship began its journey toward space.

Several days later, the starship had long departed from the O'Brian Star.

The grand fleet, in the main ship's passenger cabin, Xu Mo and his group sat together, drinking coffee and chatting, while many people walked past.

Xu Mo looked outside. He enjoyed watching the vast space from the starship, which made him feel small.

The Empire Trial Ground is in the Emperor River, and it will take a while to reach it.

At this moment, several figures walked over, with the leader being none other than Heath O'Brien.

Beside him were several top Transcendents, including Proto from the Capital Star's Mystic God Temple.

"May I sit down and have a drink?" Heath O'Brien asked Xu Mo with a smile.

"Of course." Xu Mo nodded.

Heath O'Brien sat opposite Xu Mo, looked at him, and said, "How much do you know about the Empire Trial Ground?"

"Not much." Xu Mo shook his head and said, "The Mystic God Temple hasn't shared too many details."

"The Empire Trial Field is a planet in the Emperor River, specifically used for trials during the Silver Star Empire era. It contains many dangers but also opportunities. It is said to have relics of the Silver Star Empire, which is why major cosmic powers venture there continuously."

"However, nowadays, the Empire Trial Field also carries other meanings, such as conflict, as it's a showdown between major powers. Anything can happen inside, which is understandable."

Xu Mo nodded slightly, speaking, "No wonder the elders from Mystic God Temple say the death rate is high. It seems one must be cautious."

"Xu Mo, with your exceptional talent, if you find any opportunity to enhance yourself in the Empire Trial Field, your strength will surely advance further. Perhaps by the time you come out, you'd be invincible in desperate situations, given that we'll be staying inside for a long time," Heath O'Brien said politely, and Xu Mo could see that Heath O'Brien wanted to draw closer to him.

Heath O'Brien had a good relationship with Proto and many friends within the Mystic God Temple. It was evident he had some means of winning people's hearts, likely having heard some of his stories from others and trying to ally.

"I'd be satisfied just coming out alive." Xu Mo said with a smile, containing a playful tone.

"Such little ambition?" At this moment, a voice came, accompanied by several figures walking to Xu Mo's side.

Xu Mo looked up and saw an elderly face.

"Hall Master." Xu Mo rose and greeted, the speaker being the Palace Master Talos of Chloe Star Mystic God Temple.

"Palace Master Talos." Heath O'Brien also stood up and greeted with a smile; although he was the son of the Republic Leader, he naturally had to show respect to the seniority of the top ten Hall Masters.

At this time, many Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple were behind Palace Master Talos, including Heath O'Brien's sister, Vera O'Brien.

"Please sit, relax." Palace Master Talos said casually. His stature was not tall and appeared somewhat small, with no imposing presence, but even so, no one dared to underestimate one of the top ten Hall Masters of the Mystic God Temple.

Heath O'Brien looked at Talos thinking, wondering if his older brother Ares O'Brien could defeat this Chloe Star Mystic God Temple's Hall Master.

"Xu Mo." Talos's hand landed on the seated Xu Mo's shoulder and spoke, "You are a genius emerging from Chloe Star, can't let anything happen at the Empire Trial Field. I am counting on someone to take over my position in the future."

"Hall Master..." Xu Mo was somewhat surprised; Mystic God Temple had numerous powerful figures, and many Skywalkers too. Palace Master Talos's words placed him in too high regard.

Heath O'Brien similarly glanced at Xu Mo in surprise, it seemed Palace Master Talos held Xu Mo in high regard.

"Do your best." Talos said with a smile, patting his shoulder, then smiled at Heath O'Brien before leaving.

Heath O'Brien felt that the glance carried deep implications.

"Entering the Empire Trial Field, stay safe." Vera O'Brien reminded, unknowingly whether it was directed at Heath O'Brien or Xu Mo, or perhaps a general reminder.

This time going to the Empire Trial Field was led by Heath O'Brien, at the time he would be in a leading position. Earlier, Palace Master Talos had evidently hinted that Xu Mo was very important, not to let Xu Mo become a sacrifice.

Vera O'Brien understood her brother somewhat, thus counted as a reminder to him.

"I'll wander elsewhere." Heath O'Brien understood the hint, got up and left, while Xu Mo gazed into the distance, his sight landing on Vera O'Brien's back.

"Is it pleasant to look at?" Zero asked Xu Mo from the side.

"Who are you referring to?" Xu Mo replied innocently, Zero rolled her eyes at him, showing strong survival instincts.

As time passed day by day, the Starship of the O'Brien Republic sailed into the Emperor River, this vast endless 'Cosmic Center' region, home to countless splendid civilizations, many destroyed during wars.

Yet to this day, the Emperor River still houses some powerful civilizations.

Among them is a planet led by the Old Imperial Family, Lin.

And the immensely powerful Saint Tiya Star Domain, who once regarded themselves as the highest civilization in the cosmos.

Additionally, Odyssey Star Domain also harbors many powerhouse factions, each occupying numerous planets. These powerhouse factions, many being top family alliances of the Old Empire era and ancient races.

Meanwhile, Coriade Star Domain boasts the most brilliant technological civilization.

Dark Star of the Abyss, forces nestling within black hole-star domains, always seeks to engulf the universe.

Tyr Star Domain equally houses many ancient civilizations.

The Cosmic Emperor River's most brilliant civilization forces are all converging on the same planet, boundless throngs, countless top figures arriving at one place.

This is a trial, but also a confrontation among major forces across the Emperor River, spying on the prowess of other civilizations.

That day, the Starship of the O'Brien Republic sailed onto this planet, coincidentally, the team of the Kales Empire also arrived at the same time.

The arrival of these two forces did not cause much commotion; the O'Brien Republic and Kales Empire continuously clashed, considering each other as biggest rivals, yet in fact, the Emperor River's civilizations did not regard the O'Brien Republic and Kales Empire outside the Emperor River seriously.

Emperor River Civilization, is indeed the highest civilization in the universe.
