#492 - Chapter 492 Puppet Civilization

It's understandable that one or two individuals might be secretly controlled.

It's also understandable that an organization like the Red Robe Sect could control more people through drugs.

But how can controlling an entire civilization be understood?

Note that throughout history, civilizations have been conquered many times.

A civilization can invade another through military force and achieve complete assimilation within a century or two through religious assimilation, cultural infiltration, and so on.

But that's assimilation, not control.

Historically, every attempt to control another civilization through force has invariably failed.

"Not yet. But if the sacrificial ceremony is completed, the situation will be different," the High Priest said, shaking his head.

"What will happen if the sacrificial ceremony is completed?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"All civilizations will be destroyed by them," the High Priest replied.

"Who is controlling them?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Could it be the Manichaeism?" That was his first reaction.

"I don't know. The message left by the ancestors only contained one sentence: Beware of them," the High Priest replied.

"You're concluding that the Modo are a puppet civilization based on just one sentence? That's too arbitrary, isn't it?" Dongfang Chen felt that they were already taking the topic into the realm of metaphysics.

"Not at all. The last segment of memory in our minds comes from a plague that occurred more than two thousand years ago. It was that plague that led to the collapse of the entire Mayan civilization. At that time, five High Priests used mind-reading on several invaders and confirmed that it was a premeditated civilization extermination plan. And the one executing this plan was the Modo people," the High Priest said.

"What does that have to do with the Modo being a puppet civilization?" Dongfang Chen didn't understand.

"This is the power of mind-reading, to be able to peek into the depths of a person's heart. I can't describe the feeling, but what I can confirm is that their cognition doesn't come from themselves," the High Priest described.

"Are you saying that someone is manipulating their thoughts, even their actions?" Dongfang Chen stated according to his understanding.

"Yes!" The High Priest nodded.

"Xiaolin, can you help me check what period it was in Eurasia more than two thousand years ago?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Commander, more than two thousand years ago, the Persian Empire collapsed and the Sumerian civilization was destroyed."

Hearing this answer, Dongfang Chen felt his hair stand on end.

Doesn't it sound like a planned civilization extermination event?

"Then has it been detected who exactly is controlling the Modo?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"No," the High Priest replied bluntly.

"I've always had a question: why did the Ates civilization of Europe, the Tasmanian civilization of Australia, and your Mayan civilization appear at almost the same time? What exactly is going on?" Dongfang Chen asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"I don't know much about the Ates and Tasmanian civilizations you mentioned. But what I do know is that the Egura civilization, the Indus-Pakistan civilization, and the Mayan civilization we are in all revived at the same time. In addition to your Chinese civilization and the Sumerian civilization that has not yet revived, these civilizations actually all come from Venus," the High Priest did not directly answer his question.

The Egura civilization is located on the African continent and has now formed the Egura Democratic Republic.

The Indus-Pakistan civilization is the current India and Pakistan. No one has yet discovered that the scorpions that are rampant in the Ladakh region came from India and Pakistan.

Dongfang Chen frowned; he wasn't satisfied with this answer.

"In other words, you also don't know why so many civilizations revived at the same time?" He further asked.

"Yes," the High Priest replied.

Dongfang Chen now basically believed what he said.

Because just now, he had Xiaolin look up the historical records of the Mayan civilization and found a very strange point.

That is, a long time ago, the Mayans used another calendar, called the Divine Calendar. In that calendar, a year was 260 days. This is extremely close to the orbital period of Venus.

Furthermore, they also had another calendar, which was a calendar summarized from the observation of Venus's orbit from Earth, called the Venus Calendar.

This has not appeared in other civilizations.

Coupled with what the High Priest mentioned today, that the Mayans have the ability to inherit memories, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion: the Mayans are very likely from Venus, and that Divine Calendar was brought from Venus. The Venus Calendar represents their special feelings for Venus and their ancestors, and of course, it may also have other uses.

Sometimes knowing too much is a burden.

Dongfang Chen seemed to have realized that the current Mayans were not fighting for the future, but for the past. Their brains were burdened with too many memories of their ancestors, which gave them a greater sense of mission and a strong desire for revenge.
