"Based on historical records, the Eye of Terror that Logar saw, and the clues provided by the traitor Cole, we can confirm that the corruption of the Eldar led to the birth of Slaanesh, the birth of a completely new god."
"And the Emperor is the most powerful human psionicist. He has the ability to become a god through the faith of all humanity... Of course, this would sacrifice all humanity."
"That's why the Emperor forbade the existence of religion and extreme beliefs, whether it's belief in him or belief in the giants. Such extreme beliefs might lead humanity astray and give birth to new warp gods."
"Then what is the reason for the Emperor's desire to become a god?" Guilliman continued to ask.
Horus sighed, then continued, "What do you think is the purpose of the Great Crusade?"
Magnus: "Unify the Milky Way, unite humanity."
Vulcan: "Liberate the people and bring peace."
Saint Gilles: "For a better future."
The Primarchs revealed what they believed to be the purpose of the Great Crusade.
Horus slammed his fist on the table.
"What you've said is all correct. This is exactly what we've been doing, and it's also what the Emperor needs!"
"But now the warp is launching another counterattack, and the Emperor, as the strongest psionicist, may already know what is going to happen in the future, so he wants to make a change."
"The warp is influenced by the emotions of intelligent life. The corruption of the Eldar gave birth to evil gods, countless civilizations in the galaxy were ravaged, and human civilization fell into an era of chaos. Such an era contains a great deal of violence and resentment. If these contradictions are not eliminated, the warp will continue to grow and eventually corrupt the real universe as well..."
"The Emperor wants to prevent such a future, and the method he has chosen is to bring peace to the galaxy, so that life no longer conflicts with each other, thereby weakening the warp's influence on reality, or even directly changing the warp!"
"The Emperor has kept the existence of the Warp a secret, perhaps because the Warp itself is a threat. The fear that mortals have of the Warp will only accelerate its growth. And the demons might even enter the real universe like mad dogs after the truth about the Warp is revealed."
"The Emperor never stopped us from actively contacting the Warp and investigating the truth. Perhaps it was because the Emperor believed that if we could successfully uncover the truth, it would mean that his children had become strong enough not to be easily corrupted again. So he had been waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the Primarch to discover the truth..."
At this point, Li Xiang, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
"So... the Emperor needs to become a god, and then humanity needs to defeat him. Since he didn't become a god through human faith, no one else will be harmed in the process. As long as the god is defeated, and the Emperor is defeated—because the Emperor is the strongest psionicist and the one with the best chance of becoming a god—it means that humanity has grown up and will no longer have faith and fanatical worship. Because humanity has defeated its own god, such humanity might have the ability to protect itself in the warp."
"Yes, that might be it!"
Horus responded excitedly.
This seems to be a logical line of reasoning.
Although there are still many flaws, it seems that the emperor was too idealistic.
But this could very well be the Emperor's plan.
He is waiting, waiting for the day when humanity comes of age.
Humanity will no longer believe in God, nor will any more gods be born. Humanity's destiny will be in its own hands, and its future will be created by humanity itself.
This is perhaps what the emperor hoped for.
"The Emperor... he's going to die, right?"
Li Xiang said this.
(I almost forgot to post this while I was King of Elden in the borderlands _(:з」∠)_. I'm just making up stories about the Emperor, who cares about this or that?)
(And also, Happy National Day!)
Chapter 139 The Emperor: "Ah, my son has rebelled again?"
Meanwhile, the Emperor, far away in Terra, sneezed while repairing the Webway.
"Oh, so you're talking badly about me?"
"I don't care what time I have to work overtime today!"
The emperor continued his diligent work.
The affairs of the Galactic Federation have been entrusted to Makado; he will not personally intervene.
Because his identity is so special.
He has been avoiding exposing his identity too much, and he has even been staying in seclusion in Terra for several months. In fact, the highest leader in the outside world has been replaced by Makado.
According to his plan, once the network is repaired, humanity will no longer need to use the warp for navigation, and the warp will no longer threaten human civilization.
Furthermore, with the establishment of the Galactic Federation, positive emotions will counteract negative emotions in the warp, thus balancing the warp.
As for the Four Evil Gods?
They can only cause trouble in the warp; whether they can come to the real universe is still a question. After all, the Red Giants severed the connection between the warp and the real universe back then. At least for tens of millions of years, the four warp gods will find it difficult to actively interfere with the real universe.
Although the expeditionary force at the front has discovered the reappearance of the demons, there should still be enough time left.
Small warp corruptions like demons can come to the real universe by chasing fallen psykers, but powerful beings like the Four Evil Gods require even more powerful psykers to fall and successfully break through the barrier between the two worlds to reach the real universe.
Such a powerful psychic is naturally someone like the Emperor.
As for his child, Loga, going to the Eye of Fear, will he be bewitched?
Brother Bao, I've already said that it's very difficult for an evil god to interfere with the real universe. Otherwise, with such a huge opening in the Eye of Fear, the evil god would have already led the demons out to fight their way out.
Moreover, the Emperor trusted the giants, which is why he allowed Loga to go and do something reckless.
Before the Titans even appeared, the Emperor had foreseen that in the future, there would be 20 children, half of whom would betray the Empire and become servants of the Warp.
Although the Emperor did not know exactly which children would betray him, and given that the Emperor at that time extremely disliked psionicists, he did not take it seriously. He figured he could just eliminate all the traitors.
But then, giants appeared during the Iron Wars, and things changed; the Emperor could no longer predict the future.
Originally, the future of the world seemed to be predetermined, and the Emperor could use his powerful psychic abilities to glimpse it and fight against the evil gods of the warp.
But then giants appeared, the future changed, everything became unclear, and prophecies could no longer be made.
The Emperor once asked the giants why the future would turn out this way.
But the giant said, "Isn't this better? The predetermined future will not happen, because the future of mankind is now finally full of infinite possibilities."
Therefore, in order to explore these infinite possibilities, the emperor also made changes.
For example, he plans to wait until the network is repaired and the Galactic Federation is established, then perhaps Horus or Guilliman can replace Makado, since Makado is already old.
Then the two old men should go find the group that disappeared after repelling the warp...
The emperor, filled with anticipation, quickened his pace in his work.
Then, Makado, that old man, rushed in.
"Old Huang, something terrible has happened! Your son has betrayed us!"
The emperor suddenly looked up.
What do you mean my son betrayed us?
Why did the future revert back to its original state?
So what exactly happened?
it's actually really easy.
A group of Primarchs deduced that the Emperor might want to become a god himself, and then have humanity defeat humanity's gods, thereby freeing humanity from ignorant faith and the Warp.
Because the Emperor did not inform the other Primarchs about the Web Path, mainly because the Web Path itself is related to the Warp. Although the Titans severed the connection between the real universe and the Warp, making it difficult for the Four Outcasts to continue interfering with the real universe.
However, the Webpath system was originally an initiative of the Emperor to intervene in the subspace. If the evil gods discover this initiative, they may destroy the Webpath, and then the Emperor's plan will be in vain.
The current situation in the universe is that evil gods cannot actively intervene in the real universe, but the real universe can actively enter the warp, such as through warp travel.
Because humans in this universe must engage in subspace travel in order to establish communication across vast distances between universes.
Perhaps for this reason, the giants' seal on the warp has begun to loosen recently.
Therefore, the Primarchs are now divided into two factions.
One faction believes that the Emperor's sacrifice was great and that the expeditionary force should continue to complete the Great Crusade, fulfill the Emperor's plan, and achieve peace in the galaxy.
Another faction felt that they couldn't sacrifice their father; now that the Titans were here, they could just let the Titans elbow through the warp.
Then this viewpoint was discussed... but no one paid attention to Li Xiang's opinion, the person involved.
Finally, Horus decided to send several Primarchs back to Terra to inquire about the Emperor's situation; they needed to find out the truth.
If you can't explain it clearly, arrest your father.
The front lines are in dire straits, and you're committing suicide in the back? What kind of nonsense is that?
Let's discuss this together.
Then, a large fleet of warships sailed back to Terra.
Li Xiang even helped open a wormhole.
Then he went to Terra.
He also wanted to meet that legendary emperor, to see what kind of person he was who would choose to sacrifice himself to save the galaxy.
Some of the expeditionary force's warships returned to Terra, startling Terra and even the Iron Man who was repairing the network channel for the Emperor's transport of supplies.
What's going on? Is another civil war brewing?
Is this a preparation to replicate the nightmare of the fourth planet?
Even the Emperor's personal guards were poised to strike and eliminate the rebellious Horus.
This was a fierce battle, a battle between a son and a father.
But as the saying goes, your father is still your father. Horus arrived at the palace in a huff and then met with the emperor.
The emperor was so angry he laughed.
Then, with a single glance from the Emperor, Saint Gilles, the Blood Angel, and Roger Dorn, the Fist of the Empire, who had followed Horus back to Terra, subdued Horus.
Upon seeing the Emperor's face, which was a mixture of anger and amusement, the two realized their previous guesses were wrong. In order to atone for their mistakes, they decided to first subdue the culprit Horus and then hand him over to the Emperor for a lesson.
The situation is urgent, let's take down Horus!
Then the emperor took the group of foolish children in and gave them a good talking-to.
The Emperor smiled as he looked at the Primarchs.
"I heard someone say that I'm going to become a god, and then I'm going to kill myself, right?"
(This chapter is just random stuff. I made up some random reason to send Haki Hibiki to Terra, and of course, there are some plot holes in it too qwq.)
