No sooner do the people realize that Seldon's prediction is true than the Mule attacks Trantor where they are gathered to hear the prediction.

As it became evident that the Mule was succeeding in his quest for Galaxy domination, the Traders put their resources into fighting the Mule instead. A member of the Traders, Randu, is present and admits that the Traders had planned a revolt but were sidetracked when the Mule began attacking the Empire and the Foundation. Seldon's prediction includes the advice to "compromise" with the Traders who are currently in an uprising against the Foundation. A scientist named Ebling Mis figures the date of Seldon's next prediction, and a group of dignitaries is amassed to hear the words. The next crisis faced by the Foundation occurs a century later.

Riose is stopped, and the Foundation "wins," making Seldon's prediction true. The Emperor of the Empire, Cleon II, fears that Riose is amassing troops for a civil war to overthrow the throne and hauls him home to be executed.

Riose, in a moment of weakness, calls for backup reinforcements though he manages continuous victories. He encounters little resistance and claims new planets for the Empire, but is told that Seldon's Plan predicts that the Empire will not succeed. In the current time of peace, he goes to the outer limits of the Galaxy in search of worlds to conquer. Bel Riose of the Empire is a soldier who is only happy fighting for the Empire. The current book begins with a battle between the Empire and the Foundation. The series, known as the Empire series, is about the generations on those worlds, their lives, battles and victories. The idea was that the two would eventually mesh, forming a new, stronger Foundation - the Second Foundation. Seldon, in an effort to lessen the time of barbarism that is bound to follow the fall, created two Foundations - one at each end of the Galaxy. It was Hari Seldon who foresaw the current conditions of the Galaxy, including the fall of the Empire.
