The Seventh Base Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Chapter 78 Why didn’t you die

Xu Mo and Ye Xi discovered a new world.

Having been navigating in the universe for a long time, the humans on the Ares Battleship felt adrift and became accustomed to sealing their memories in Memory Crystals, much like keeping a diary.

Thus, Xu Mo caught a glimpse of a vast array of memories and stories.

About the Ares, about the people and events on the battleship.

The Ares hailed from a powerful civilization in interstellar space, the Cos Civilization.

Through these memories, Xu Mo found out that the universe was incredibly brutal, with no laws to constrain action. When interstellar warships encountered each other, they often faced raiding by interstellar thieves.

The Ares wasn’t a raiding warship; on the contrary, it was on a mission to explore the stars.

Yet even so, they conducted many despicable deeds in the course of their interstellar voyages.

In space, there were also some extremely brutal criminal gangs hunting in the stars.

This made Xu Mo feel that the interstellar realms were utterly a world of survival of the fittest.

At this moment, as Xu Mo was ‘exploring’ a Memory Crystal, he came across some exceedingly deplorable memories.

“Cos New Calendar 10,031, November 7, the Ares encountered interstellar thieves for the first time. However, these interstellar thieves seemed inexperienced, they underestimated the Ares’ combat ability and were destroyed by us. The great Captain Ares confiscated their spoils and let them go.”

“Cos New Calendar 10,032, June, is this the fifth time we’ve encountered interstellar thieves? After the Empire’s collapse, the interstellar order seems to have completely disintegrated. This time, the great Captain Ares didn’t hold back his anger, destroying the opponents’ warship and killing all the thieves.”

“The great Captain Ares is becoming more and more irritable, perhaps because of the long time spent navigating.”

“We came to a planet for supplies, but this planet seemed not to give the great Captain Ares the respect he deserved, so when Captain Ares left, he taught them a harsh lesson.”

“Today we encountered an interstellar travel ship. Naively, they seemed unaware of the dangers that exist in space. The Captain ordered their seizure, plundered their supplies, took a number of beautiful women aboard the Ares, and destroyed the rest along with their ship. As for the women, the most beautiful ones were taken by the Captain. Having traveled in space for so long, the Captain has gradually changed, beginning to reveal a mad side.”

“They actually dared to retaliate against the Ares, dispatching a fleet to hunt down the Ares Battleship. To punish them, the great Captain Ares destroyed their planet.”

“The great… no, Captain Ares is becoming more and more vicious, he’s starting to turn on those around him. Today someone questioned his decision and was thrown from the Ares; he sees himself as a king here, not allowing anyone to challenge his authority.”

“We have destroyed three planets already, I am getting scared; Captain Ares is becoming increasingly merciless.”

“Retribution has finally arrived…”

The memory ends, documenting some major events. After watching, Xu Mo felt deeply moved.

It seems that no matter which world or which planet, there are traits common to all humanity.

The memories in this Memory Crystal recorded Captain Ares’ journey from civilization, to barbarism, to slaughter, until destruction.

“What did you see?” Ye Xi asked, seeing Xu Mo fall silent after he finished watching.

She wasn’t adept at mental abilities, so she couldn’t see it.

But people of the Cos Civilization have spiritual power as their racial talent.

“The transition of this warship from civilization to slaughter,” said Xu Mo simply and Ye Xi let out a sigh.

“Let’s go to the next one,” Ye Xi said, full of curiosity about everything here, coming from an advanced civilization in space.

The two came to another cabin, one that was clearly a woman’s residence.

However, Xu Mo and Ye Xi quickly found some indecent items, casting odd glances at each other, one look between them creating an awkward atmosphere.

“Next one,” Ye Xi said.

“Maybe there are some valuable clues here?” said Xu Mo, still deciding to examine the Memory Crystal and sealed the memories within.

Xu Mo discovered that the owner of this Memory Crystal was actually Yaduo, mentioned by a man before.

In those memories, there were numerous amorous encounters, making Xu Mo’s expression grow even weirder.

“Really knows how to have fun…” After exiting the Memory Crystal, Xu Mo moved on to search the other cabins.

A great deal of information was received by Xu Mo, who also found memories of great value, about Cultivation.

The Cos Civilization’s people had spiritual power as their natural talent, and their Cultivation focused mainly on the development of spiritual power. In their belief, spiritual power was the source of all things in the universe; everything revolved around the human mental plane.

Operating warships, mechas, and fighter jets was mainly done through brainwave control, depending primarily on spiritual power; the stronger the spiritual power, the faster the neural response could be.

This was somewhat similar to Xu Mo’s Cultivation, and it was this similarity that allowed him to control the warship.

The warship was very large, and it took Xu Mo many days to digest the diaries sealed in the Memory Crystals inside the battleship.

Xu Mo lay in a resting room, with two Memory Crystal Balls placed before him, his spiritual power pouring into them.

“Female devil, today is the fifteenth day you’ve been sealed. I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to return alive and give you this gift. You don’t like to talk much, so from now on, you can say what you want to say inside this. You’ll definitely gift, right?” Xu Mo infused a memory into it, hoping to give it to the female devil as a gift if he could make it back alive.
