After the establishnt of Blue Star Technology, Xu Mo disappeared again, keeping himself away from the public eye.
Now, serving as Zero's stand-in while bearing the identity of the Empire heir, he has ford a powerful fleet. His priority among major top forces has likely surpassed Gaia, so naturally, he cannot reveal his whereabouts at will.
As for Blue Star Technology, with the Governor's Mansion's support and the backing of the Mystic God Temple, combined with high-quality products, along with the operational capabilities of Ross and Ye Qingdie, is there any need to worry about developnt issues?
As for the safety of Ross and Ye Qingdie, Xu Mo has, of course, given it priority consideration, allowing them to reside in the Mystic God Temple, managing and commanding remotely, and providing them with chanical Body protection.
Nowadays, people from various major forces already know that their base is in the 'Skull Star Domain'. Ross and Ye Qingdie have lost their value in providing information. Top forces won't pay a high price to deal with them. On the contrary, if the base wasn't exposed, Ross and Ye Qingdie would be in danger because the others would try every ans to find them.
The last war, in fact, had sowhat positive effects.
However, these major forces do not know that Skull Star is not the real base; otherwise, they would still not let them go.
As for Xu Mo's whereabouts, he actually went to the Capital Star Ao Temple to practice in seclusion. Even the Transcendents of the Ao Temple didn't know about this because he was very secretive when he went, aiming to avoid revealing his whereabouts and provoking the appearance of the Lin clan and the Church Destroyers like in the past.
Of course, Osman O'Brian and Vera O'Brian knew about it. Xu Mo needed to pass inspection to enter the Capital Star Ao Temple, and Vera O'Brian personally went to receive him, entering through a special passage without anyone knowing.
Ti passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, years flew by, during which Xu Mo was in seclusion practicing at the Ao Temple.
Many significant events also occurred during these years, particularly one major event that drew attention from all sides.
Cosmic wars have never ceased, and the Lin clan, the Church, and Saint Tiya have pushed the formation of the Cosmic Federation under the guise of hoping for universal peace to maintain cosmic order and prohibit war.
In reality, they never stopped their war efforts, and their control over various planets along the Emperor River increased. Nurous forces surrendered and complied with their call, advocating for the establishnt of the Cosmic Federation to promote cosmic unity.
Simultaneously, their invasion of the Coriade Star Domain has never ceased, consuming many planets in the Coriade Star Domain. However, the Coriade Star Domain is vast and has many Advanced Civilizations that united to resist the invasion, forming a powerful resistance force that has kept the war at a stalemate.
In the Tyr Star Domain, there have been repeated confrontations as well.
Among these events, the most major incident is undoubtedly the Abyss.
Not long ago, the Abyss army officially erged from the Abyss and joined the mighty cosmic war. Upon their appearance, they advanced directly towards the Emperor River, launching attacks on several planets, occupying or obliterating them, inciting a bloody storm.
In response, the Church and other forces have vehently condemned the Abyss and more fervently propelled the establishnt of the Cosmic Federation. Due to the threat from the Abyss, many planets along the Emperor River agreed and were willing to join the Cosmic Federation.
However, while they called for peace and the formation of the Cosmic Federation, no force mobilized an army to confront the Abyss directly.
It seems no one wants to deplete their military strength!
Even if the Abyss were destroyed, losing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of their own, what does such a victory an?
The Lin clan, the Church, and Saint Tiya clearly won't do it unless they deploy the Alliance Army.
But presently, their battle lines in the Universe are already widespread.
Moreover, the appearance of the Abyss benefits them because a threat is necessary to drive the establishnt of the Cosmic Federation.
...
At the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo isn't interested in the events happening outside.
At this mont, he is in seclusion, imrsing his consciousness in the Mystic God Virtual Trial Field for cultivation.
Xu Mo's current cultivation thods fit perfectly with the Mystic God Virtual Trial Field. He is now in a state of egolessness, without a physical body, only spirit, seemingly omnipresent, rged with the universe.
"Mystic God." At this ti, Xu Mo's voice echoed from the virtual universe of the Mystic God Virtual Trial Field. In this mont, the virtual universe seed to transform into Xu Mo's face.
"Hmm?" Mystic God responded, completely like a human consciousness.
As Xu Mo beca more familiar with the Mystic God, he found that the Ao Temple often seed very human; in conversations now, Mystic God uses interjections, utterly unlike a cold intelligent machine.
"When can you answer my question? What exactly are you?" Xu Mo was filled with curiosity about this.
What's the connection between Mystic God and the Ao Temple?
Is Mystic God truly a human?
Over the years, Xu Mo has never t the founder of the Ao Temple.
But this raises another question, if this is the case, how does the other party exist within the virtual world and appear to be omnipresent?
"I am Mystic God." The answer ca chanically, as if reverting from a human to an intelligent being, leaving Xu Mo sowhat perplexed.
"I know you are Mystic God. I'm asking, are you human or intelligent?" Xu Mo continued his inquiry.
"Is there a difference?" Mystic God replied.
"No difference?" Xu Mo asked back.
The Mystic God replied, "The distinction between humans and machines lies in the ability of humans to think independently, whereas machines obey the instructions set by humans, unable to think independently. Therefore, in a sense, the so-called 'human' is just a term for a lifeform with the ability to think. So, if machines also possess the ability to think, then there is no longer any difference between them and humans."
Xu Mo pondered the Mystic God's words and said, "So your ability to think also ans that you are a lifeform like humans?"
"You could say that," the Mystic God continued. "If humans had no spiritual existence, they would be no different from machines. If there were a species capable of controlling human thoughts, humans would beco machines."
"As for the species controlling human thoughts, they would beco gods," the Mystic God said. "That is to say, they would be what we call the creator. If you can achieve that, then you are a god."
The Mystic God's words stirred Xu Mo deeply. On Pandora Star, the warriors of the tribe also worshipped heavenly gods, who are the creators.
Many believe that although gods may not exist, perhaps a creator exists in the universe, determining the order of the cosmos.
But the Mystic God seed to explain this issue from another angle: if soone could control all human thoughts, then they are a god, a creator.
Back then, was the Emperor of the Empire pursuing such an answer?
The Mystic God seems to have provided a path for humans to beco gods?
"Mystic God, I didn't expect you to be a philosopher," Xu Mo said.
"What is a philosopher?" The Mystic God asked back.
"A thinker," Xu Mo replied. "Mystic God, thank you for your company. I'm leaving."
Saying that, Xu Mo left the Virtual Trial Ground.
After removing his gear, Xu Mo took a deep breath, his eyes thoughtful, seemingly pondering the Mystic God's words.
In recent years, he has been in seclusion, cultivating. However, now he has reached the peak of the Skywalker level, and breaking through to the Destructive Realm is not so easy.
The gap from Skywalker to Destroyer, in this vast universe, how many can cross it?
Looking at the current universe, seeing how many Destroyers there are, concentrated in the top cosmic forces, and they are rely a few in number.
Xu Mo glanced at his communicator and found many ssages, mainly from Vera O'Brien, since only a few people in the Mystic God Temple knew he was there, Vera being one of them.
Xu Mo dialed her communicator, and Vera O'Brien's face was projected in front of him.
"Senior Sister Vera, did I disturb your cultivation?" He saw Vera in tight-fitting clothes, sweat on her forehead, seemingly cultivating.
"No," Vera O'Brien shook her head. "You've been in seclusion for so long. When will you have ti to spar with ?"
Vera was well aware of Xu Mo's strength. She too faced a bottleneck in her cultivation and wanted to spar with Xu Mo for so inspiration.
"Now?" Xu Mo asked.
"Okay, I'll go prepare the trial ground and let you know. Co over when you're ready," Vera O'Brien replied.
It didn't take long before Xu Mo, covered in armor, appeared in front of Vera in the Temple's indoor trial ground. He wasn't wearing the first-sequence battle armor, to avoid revealing his identity.
"Begin..." Opposite him, Vera O'Brien rushed towards Xu Mo, her body closing in instantly.
"Senior Sister, I won't hold back," Xu Mo blocked her attack and said.
"No need to be polite with ," Vera O'Brien replied.
Upon hearing Vera O'Brien's words, Xu Mo did not hold back. Monts later, Vera O'Brien lay down.
"No more..." Vera O'Brien got up and said.
"Uh," Xu Mo said, "Senior Sister..."
"The gap is too large. It seems there's no point in sparring with you any further." Vera O'Brien realized she had been left behind by Xu Mo and had no idea how Xu Mo cultivated, his progress was too astonishing.
"Senior Sister, actually, you don't need to be discouraged," Xu Mo said. "After all, there aren't many under the Destroyer realm who can defeat ."
Vera stared at Xu Mo: "..."
She didn't want to speak.
"In the years you've been in seclusion, many things have happened outside," Vera didn't discuss cultivation further, as it was too demoralizing.
"Hmm," Xu Mo listened quietly, even though he knew so things already.
"The Abyss army erged, the universe is in constant turmoil. The Lin, Saint Tiya Star, and the Church are all pushing for the formation of a Cosmic Federation, deciding to hold a eting of cosmic forces in Asgard regarding the establishnt of the Cosmic Federation," Vera said.
