Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564: Chapter 530: The Secret of the Priest Clan

Inside the side chamber.

Lunus cast his power to set up a barrier, shrouding the entire space within, ensuring no outsiders could enter, spy, or eavesdrop.

Shen Tang appeared surprised. After all, this was the Imperial Palace, and Lunus was more or less family. What important matter could only be shared with her? Why was the work on secrecy so rigorous?

The warm and composed smile on Lunus’s face vanished, replaced by a hint of urgency, as if eager to confirm something, "Xiao Tang, what exactly happened during the time you and Lan’er were missing at the Forgotten Sea? Can you tell me everything in detail?"

Shen Tang, of course, would not refuse.

She recounted in detail what had happened at that time to Lunus.

From the sudden incident at the Priest Temple, to being lured into an illegal laboratory, and then later rescued by Jia Lan — apart from concealing details related to the system, she laid almost all facts before him.

Lunus pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It’s roughly the same as I guessed. Those people in black are visitors from an alien star, not the original inhabitants of this continent. The expansion of the polluted area is also their doing."

Shen Tang supplemented, "And there’s one more thing, before I fell unconscious, I vaguely heard them say to take me away. It seems they must open some ’Star Gate’ through blood sacrifice to leave here... I suppose they entered here using this method."

Lunus nodded, "There is a power barrier protecting the perimeter of the continent, alien Beastmen cannot directly break in, they can only open the Star Gate through blood sacrifice for teleportation. But the cost of blood sacrifice is too great for them to invade en masse; they can only plan slowly to seize this continent through such means."

Shen Tang furrowed her brows, "What is their purpose in doing this? Since we already know the mastermind behind the polluted area, I want to ask the High Priest how to stop the end of destruction?"

Lunus keenly caught the five words ’end of destruction’ she uttered, his divine-borne beautiful golden eyes quietly gazing at Shen Tang.

From their first meeting, he knew this female was definitely extraordinary.

She harbored many secrets, seemingly aware of many things, even he couldn’t entirely see through.

"Their ultimate goal is to seize the Earth Core."

Lunus explained, "The Earth Core is the crystallization of energy on this continent and the source of the barrier protecting the planet. Their specific purpose in deploying pollutants is unclear, but one thing is certain: the power of the Earth Core contradicts the curse power. The stronger the pollution power, the weaker the energy of this continent will become."

"The barrier that guards the continent will also become weaker and weaker until it is completely breached, at which point the army can march straight in."

Shen Tang asked, "...Could the High Priest tell me what to do now?"

Lunus said, "The alien star has completed its deployment task, the spread of the polluted area is now uncontrollable. If we want to stop the situation from completely deteriorating, there is one way - to completely close and destroy the Star Gate, cutting off the passage between the two worlds."

He continued, "According to my speculation, they have only opened one Star Gate currently, but it is uncertain whether its location is fixed or random, further searching is needed."

Shen Tang nodded, "I understand. I will strive to unite more forces to find the existence of the Star Gate and destroy it!"

Lunus had little time left. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided, "Xiao Tang, I have one more thing to tell you. It’s a secret about our Priest Clan of Merfolk."

Shen Tang listened attentively, "Please speak, High Priest."
