Chapter 57: The Holy Land - Planet Gaia
"Do you know why when I talked about this star sector, I said that this is a place of hell?"
Cecilia did not directly begin to explain the situation in this star region, but asked Mu Yunshang questions.
Mu Yunshang shook her head, "That's what makes me feel strange...... Isn't it related to purifiers? β
"Exactly." Cecilia sighed, a flash of resentment in her emerald green pupils, "In addition to our Ida Elven Republic, there are four large and small civilizations in this star region, namely the Gakanda Federation, the Olefa Empire, the Holy Council of Franlon, and the United States of Andorhar. β
"But in reality, all five of our civilizations were driven here from another distant starry sky."
"Expelled?"
Mu Yunsheng's hand holding the teacup subconsciously exerted force.
"Could it be that you were all driven from your original homes by the Purifiers?"
Cecilia nodded, "Yes, there used to be more than a dozen civilizations in our homeland, and for a long time, we were separated and united with each other, and then there was even a tendency to form a huge interstellar alliance, but ...... Eight hundred years ago, the Purifier came. β
"To this day, no one knows where the Purifiers came from, and they have suddenly appeared in our homeland like ghosts to wage an extermination war against all civilizations they can reach. Caught off guard, we suffered huge losses in the initial encounter. β
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Cecilia, who remembered the past, curled her lips and smiled a little forcefully.
"These are all told by the older generation, in fact, I am the elf of the new generation, I have lived in this star region since I was born, and I have no memory of the past home, but even so, our new generation still inherited the unforgettable hatred for the purifier from the predecessors."
"In the beginning, we tried to communicate with each other while resisting the Purifiers, but no matter how many requests we made, they were all lost. In the end, we realized that there was no communication with the Purifiers, and only one of them could survive. β
"The war went on for decades, and we went from the initial disadvantage to gradually reversing the tide of the war, and even had the opportunity to drive the Purifiers out of our homeland at one point - until there were traitors among us."
"Traitor?" Mu Yunshang twisted her eyebrows, "Didn't you say that purifiers can't communicate?" If you can't communicate, how can there be traitors? β
"That's something that we exiles haven't been able to figure out until now."
Cecilia sighed.
"Under the pressure of the Purifiers, a fragile but somewhat useful alliance was hastily formed, in which representatives of all races were able to have a voice, and we even elected three Supreme Speakers - they were the leaders of the three most powerful civilizations of the time, and shouldered the expectations and hopes of all living beings in the entire Alliance. Unfortunately, all three civilizations are now extinct. β
"Destroyed by the Purifiers?"
"No, actually...... They must be self-destructive......"
Cecilia threw another bombshell.
"What do you mean? Self-extermination? β¦β¦ Wait a minute! You just said the traitor, is this traitor them? β
"That's right."
Cecilia, pursing her lips, squeezed two words out of her lips, paused, and continued:
"The three Supreme Speakers betrayed the Alliance, and even took all the armies of their civilization with them, and rushed like madmen into the cannon fire of the Purifiers after completely giving up resistance, and after the destruction of the army, their planets were completely destroyed by the Purifiers - the terrible and strange thing is that the people of these planets were very calm when death came, and it could even be said that they were feverishly welcoming the extinction brought to them by the Purifiers."
"Is there something wrong with these people's brains?"
Mother suddenly spoke, her brow furrowed in distress and her face was puzzled.
"Do you still have such a sense of performance art when you die?"
Mu Yunshang glanced at her mother angrily - didn't you see that Cecilia was sad!?
Cecilia was obviously a little dazed by her mother's detachment, but it didn't take long for her to cover her mouth and laugh.
ββ¦β¦ You guys...... It's completely different from what I thought before. β
(You're saying we're all a bunch of comics...... οΌ
Mu Yunshang complained in her heart.
"Ahem...... Go ahead. The betrayal of the Alliance has taken a huge toll on us, and we are no longer capable of fighting the Purifiers, and civilization after civilization has been destroyed, leaving only the five civilizations I mentioned, including our Ida Elves. β
"Just when we couldn't see hope, the curators appearedβthey were a race that had been fighting the Purifiers for a long time, and with the help of the Purifiers, we were able to successfully escape from our homes with a very small number of our people and go into exile in this sector."
"Curator ......? Is it the blue-skinned race who claim to be passionate about gathering knowledge and mysteries of the universe? β
"That's them."
Cecilia nodded.
"After we went into exile in this sector, little by little we began to rebuild our home, but ...... The Purifiers have reappeared, chasing us like demons, and this time, they have completely surrounded our exiled land, the starfield. We will never be able to escape again......"
"I have a question!"
Coral suddenly raised his hand.
"After you went into exile here, your strength was greatly reduced, how did you persist for these hundreds of years?"
"Because we have discovered the Holy Land!"
Cecilia suddenly raised her voice.
"Holy Land? What is that? β
Mu Yunsheng's heart moved, and she suddenly wanted to know what this 'holy land' was.
"That's a perfect planet! It's a perfect fit for all the lives we've documented so far β it's incredible! No matter what form of life it is, it can survive on that planet, and at the same time, that planet is huge enough to carry all the races we have exiled! We call the Holy Land β Gaia. β
The corners of Mu Yunsheng's mouth twitched......
(Well, the planet Gaia has popped up, and it's the holy land of Gaia...... Could it be that there is a legendary fallen empire nearby? οΌ
"Relying on the Holy Land of Gaia, we have built countless space colonies in the surrounding starry sky, which have survived with great difficulty until now. The Purifiers seem to be fearing the Holy Land, and while they have always surrounded the sector, they have always stopped near the Holy Land. Later, the lockdown was even relaxed a little bit, and sometimes it suddenly disappeared for a while. It is because of this that we have the ability to try to send small groups of troops out of the Holy Land...... My sister's fleet was originally left for external exploration. β
It's getting more and more confusing.
Mu Yunsheng, who was very interested in that holy place, immediately made a request:
"I can...... Would you like to visit your holy place, Gaia? β
Cecilia thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I can't make decisions about this, I need to report it to the council, everything about the Holy Land needs to be decided by the representatives of our five races together." β
"Understandably, I'll wait for news."
Mu Yunshang laughed.
He always felt that there must be a very great discovery in the Holy Land of Gaia.
