Chapter 1640: Chapter 527: I Want You to Help Me Cultivate (6k)
The President had not noticed that his voice had become so raspy and pained.
If the previous events were just weights added to the balance of his heart, making him change his mind for the sake of the entire civilization, gradually leaning toward agreeing to the conditions of that mysterious church.
Then the minister’s voluntary revelation of his identity was the final and heaviest weight, completely tipping his balance, making him lose the will to resist.
It’s a joke to say that if the infiltration was only at the lower levels of the Federation, he could understand.
Even if this infiltration had penetrated the military and every part of the Federation, it might still be possible if done skillfully enough.
After all, since Federation employees were already found when the network anomalies were discovered, it wasn’t surprising for there to be more.
But even one of the highest levels of the entire Federation, a genius he regarded as the hope of future civilization, turned out to be among those infiltrated.
And everything he did had been watched by the other party, then what was he still struggling for?
Some strange behaviors of this minister had been re-sorted out by him, now with the most reasonable explanation.
So, he was testing him back then...
The President recalled the meeting not long ago, where the minister had once raised a strange question, which he thought was testing his attitude to decide future actions.
Now, it seemed it was already to confirm his willingness to cooperate with that behind-the-scenes organization suspected of being a church...
That’s why there was the conversation from dozens of minutes ago.
"Heh, ultimately, he didn’t even know what the other party’s organization was, whether it was a church, or if they truly believed in any God..."
The President thought with a bitter smile.
However, after finally making a decision, the President instead felt a sense of relief.
Turning to look again at the young minister, the latter seemed to have released some transcendent ability after confirming his willingness, placing his hand on his head, muttering something.
From his hearing, as a transcendent, he barely pieced together what seemed to be a prayer and report.
Just seconds after the prayer was finished, the subordinate who reported earlier joyfully exclaimed:
"Your Excellency, the President! Report from Fleet No. 03! Those insect swarms suddenly stopped their attack for some unknown reason!"
"Your Excellency, the President! The attacking Insect Clan on Colonization Star No. 8 of the Colorado Star System have also slowed their offensive..."
"Your Excellency, the President..."
The messages echoed continuously in his ears, and the President let out a long sigh of relief, laying down his last major concern after surrender.
It seemed this unknown force was quite serious about the contract...
No, now that this civilization was about to fall into their hands, they were cherishing their own possessions.
The President smiled helplessly, raising his head to look again at his minister.
"Since your conditions have been met, can you satisfy our curiosity a bit?
At least, we need to know who our partner in cooperation, the future ruler is.
And when you became one of them?"
"You haven’t really become one of us yet, so I can’t say much.
As you suspected, it is the Red Moon Church, and those insect swarms are part of us, they are the Lord’s favored clan.
I can’t say more than that."
The young minister shook his head, providing no further information.
Delving deeper would involve the nature of the insect swarm and the purpose of the Red Moon Church, these are still secret matters for the Starry Sky.
Even without truly becoming one of their own, there is an awareness of confidentiality, knowing what can be said and what cannot.
Of course, a more important reason was that after the prayer, he felt a gaze fall upon him.
A similar feeling was experienced when receiving the oracle from the Lord of Red Moon.
Being watched by his own God, even if he wanted to reveal some things for his civilization, he couldn’t say much and quickly moved on to the next topic.
"As for me...
Perhaps it was even earlier than you knew; it was during the trip to exchange and learn with the Saien Civilization that I encountered them.
As for the reason, you have seen it.
They gave me the transcendence I couldn’t seek, and the knowledge I craved, and now, they have come to my civilization, solving my last worry."
The young minister answered the President’s next question in advance, showing a hint of crimson magic power held in his hand, displaying the true strength acquired through the artificial relic.
"Indeed, it’s a certain church, but the Red Moon Church, what is that? It seems unfamiliar, and the faith doesn’t appear to be in the mainstream Gods..."
Without the pressure of being the Federation President, the President now felt relaxed, asking completely out of curiosity.
He was now like a company CEO whose poorly managed company was finally acquired.
After handing over the company, he became an employee, no longer needing to worry about the company’s revenue pressures.
But as an employee, it’s still necessary to understand who his future boss is.
After all, during the recent negotiation, the Red Moon Church’s higher-ups proposed controlling the civilization, and he still needed to maintain normal civilization operations, the difference being in the shift of mindset.
The young minister silently listened for a moment, then nodded:
"According to the oracle, my Lord is pleased with this operation and the President’s attitude.
The church’s higher-ups will arrive soon; before you become the believers of my Lord, allow me to disclose more information."
