#491 - Chapter 491 Sacrifice Ceremony

"What you said just now, that we all come from Venus, what's that about?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"I only know that Venus's ecosystem should have collapsed, and human ancestors migrated here. I don't know much more than that," the High Priest replied, shaking his head.

"So, both Venus and Blue Star had life at that time?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Not just Venus and Blue Star, a long time ago, many planets in the solar system had life," the High Priest replied.

"When was this?" Dongfang Chen was very surprised.

"It's hard to say the exact time. We haven't been awakened for very long, and many things haven't been fully clarified yet," the High Priest said, shaking his head.

"One last question, what do you need so many battleships for?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"This... I think our goals should be the same, right?" The High Priest looked a little puzzled.

Dongfang Chen was also puzzled by this answer.

"The same goal? What goal?" Dongfang Chen himself was stunned.

He has no goal now.

The mission assigned by the space station has been completed. He is now building so many battleships just to protect himself, to prevent other super-political entities with unknown details from causing trouble for him.

Besides that, there is no other purpose.

Although he had such doubts, he couldn't let the other party know that he didn't understand, so he could only ask in another way:

"We are only meeting for the first time, how do you know what my purpose is?"

"Are you looking for the reason behind the ecological changes on Blue Star?" the High Priest asked.

"..." Dongfang Chen was speechless.

What's going on here?

"What makes you say that?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"You sent a fleet to the American continent to hunt zombies there, right? The death energy on them will pollute the entire ecosystem. It's just that we don't have the strength to completely eliminate them," the High Priest sighed.

Dongfang Chen understood that the Mayans believed that what he was doing was saving Blue Star's ecology.

Of course, it is undeniable that he chose to completely decompose the corpses of zombies, and indeed had this consideration.

After all, the transfer of viruses to the microbial world is the culprit of the ecological crisis.

So, there is nothing wrong with the Mayans saying that.

"But even with battleships, you don't have the conditions to clean up the zombies," Dongfang Chen said.

"You misunderstood. We are not going to clean up the zombies, but plan to attack Modo Da," the High Priest replied.

Modo Da, that is, the Modo Da United Republic.

According to the information Dongfang Chen has, there are inextricable links between the Mani Church and the Modo Da United Republic.

But are they related to the ecological crisis?

If you want to say yes, it is indeed possible.

After all, the Red-Clothed Sect rose after the virus just broke out, and mastered the method of controlling zombies and suppressing the virus.

But it's hard to say what kind of relationship exists, after all, the information available is too little.

Of course, you can't expose your shortcomings during the conversation, so Dongfang Chen can only follow the topic and ask.

"How much do you know about Modo Da?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"We are old rivals, and we know a lot about them. However, it's mostly superficial," the High Priest replied.

Dongfang Chen couldn't figure out what kind of conflict could exist between them, one in the American continent and the other in the Eurasian region.

But this question cannot be asked directly. After all, the High Priest mentioned just now that they have a common goal. Asking this question is equivalent to admitting that he knows very little, and he is not sure whether it will cause any trouble.

But now is indeed a good opportunity to obtain key information, and it must not be missed.

"How can I get more information out of him?"

Dongfang Chen pondered for a moment and decided to play a trick, so he asked:

"It's a bit whimsical to want to attack Modo Da with just a few battleships, right?"

"That's right. But we must destroy the altar before their sacrificial ceremony begins, otherwise Blue Star will repeat the mistakes of Venus," the High Priest looked sad.

"Sacrificial ceremony?" Dongfang Chen couldn't control himself and shouted out.

But after shouting, his heart sank.

It would be troublesome if the Mayans noticed anything unusual.

"That's right. Maybe you don't know, the Modo Da United Republic is actually just a puppet civilization," the High Priest didn't suspect anything and still answered every question.

Dongfang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is considered lucky to dig out a new topic.

"What is a puppet civilization?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Their thoughts are controlled, so they are called a puppet civilization," the High Priest explained.

"You mean everyone is controlled?" Dongfang Chen couldn't believe it.

He had heard of puppet regimes, but that was just the rulers being controlled. But it was the first time he had heard of a civilization being able to be controlled.

This is too bizarre.
