Chapter 556 The Twenty-Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Two Dreams
Zhou Yun sifted through all the records about Mon-keigh in the Black Library and directly questioned Sigucci, who had witnessed those events firsthand. Using this fragmented information, Zhou Yun finally pieced together the truth of the matter.

The reason Mon-keigh appears so abruptly in Eldar history is that they truly appeared suddenly in the galaxy after the War of the Heavens. The Eldar knew nothing about the origins of this race, but the subsequent accounts differ from Eldar history.

In Eldar records, Mon-keigh is said to have invaded Eldar territory, but the truth is that the territory the Eldar referred to encompassed the entire 'galaxy'. At the time, the Eldar considered the galaxy one of the legacies left to them by the Ancients. Mon-keigh, who suddenly appeared in the galaxy and began collecting resources and energy, was thus regarded as an invader by the Eldar.
So the Eldar launched a surprise attack on Mon-keigh.
Then, in a very shameful way, they lost.

According to Sigucci, this is mainly because Mon-keigh possesses a peculiar technique for manipulating and suppressing subspace.
This technology can extract the psionic energy of one or a group of psionicists, forming a psionic entity that automatically suppresses subspace reactions within a certain area.

This technology was a fatal blow to the Spirit Race, leaving even the Spirit Race gods helpless as they watched their race suffer, unable to overcome the technology and intervene to help.
This technology gave Zhou Yun a strong sense of déjà vu, as if it shared the same origin as the technology of the Golden Throne. The Emperor also provided information that the Dragon Kingdoms had indeed made significant contributions to the development of the Golden Throne's technology.

At the same time, Zhou Yun clearly remembered that there was a similar machine on Dawn Star, a colony of CNSA, and it was thanks to that thing that he survived the Old Night unscathed.

Furthermore, the Eldar were not massacred by Mon-keigh at the time; records indicate that they were merely captured and forced to work by Mon-keigh.

According to the notes of an Eldar who worked for Mon-keigh, Eldar were required to work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, 12 hours a day, more than 6 days a week, and their contact information had to be kept on 24 hours a day, ready to work at any time. The promised high-temperature allowance turned into two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke). Every now and then, Mon-keigh's leaders would use their off-duty time to hold morning meetings, evening meetings, weekly meetings, and summary meetings, giving Eldar all sorts of pep talks and making grand promises.
This is absolutely the Dragon Kingdom!

Even through the blood and tears of the Spirit Clan's notebook, Zhou Yun could smell the scent of home.

So now it seems that the real situation is that the Dragon Kingdoms at the end of the unification war migrated to the past in some way, briefly stopped for a period of time after the War of Heaven, and then continued to migrate to the more distant past.

Zhou Yun was certain that the period following the War of Heaven was not the ultimate goal of the Dragon Kingdoms because, according to the Eldar records, the disappearance of Mon-keigh was as sudden as their arrival.

The Dragon Kingdoms likely only made a brief stopover at that point to gather resources and energy. The Eldar were just asking for trouble, and ended up being their slaves for so many years.
However, it is also clear that the Dragon Kingdoms have left a significant psychological scar on the Eldar. Even after so many years, the mention of Mon-keigh still evokes images of brutality, savagery, and cannibalism.

So Zhou Yun, Xi Gaoqi, Kaul, and the Emperor combined human and Eldar technologies to create a device that could send messages to the past.
The drawback of this instrument is that the recipient needs sufficient knowledge of the properties of subspace and spacetime to capture this information from the flow of time and subspace.
They pinned their hopes on the Dragon Kingdoms for such technology, and they appealed to them for help. Xi Gaoqi sent a dramatic account of the current galactic tragedy, and the Emperor wrote a lengthy letter. Zhou Yun hoped that the Dragon Kingdoms would lend a hand to their brother, considering they were all from the same region. In the end, they actually received a reply.
"We wait at the beginning of the universe, time and space, and we wait for the end of the universe, time and space."

"We await heat death and restart, we await cultivating new fields."

"Do not dwell on old friends and homeland, but instead use the newly kindled fire to brew new tea. Enjoy poetry and wine while you are young."

"Enclosed with the reply are: Homecoming Plan (1.0).pdf and Hometown Plan (2.0).pdf".

Based on the replies from the Dragon Kingdoms, Zhou Yun roughly understood what the Dragon Kingdoms wanted to do.
They did indeed migrate towards the past, traveling all the way to the very beginning of the universe.
At that time, the real universe, like the subspace, consisted only of pure energy drifting about. The entire universe was in a state of extreme heat, and only young Star Gods existed within it. In fact, they couldn't even be called beings, because it was difficult to distinguish between the environment of the universe at that time and the individual Star Gods.

This era lacked any beings with souls, had extremely weak connections to the warp, and possessed a reality far more powerful than any era that would follow.
The Dragon Kingdoms built a pocket universe there and gathered all the psionicists together, using a technology similar to the Golden Throne to isolate them from direct contact with the warp, thus minimizing the warp's influence on that era.

However, this technology only allows the Dragon Kingdoms to escape on their own, because if too many people come to that era, the candlelight of their souls will be too conspicuous, causing the Warp's influence on reality to rise to a level similar to that of the 40th millennium of humankind.

In reality, this homecoming plan is only temporary. The Dragon Kingdoms' true intention is to, on the day of the theoretically inevitable cosmic heat death and reboot, push a new reality away from the warp during the instant before the material universe is born, when reality and the warp are completely disconnected, and rebuild a world unaffected by the warp. In other words, the Dragon Kingdoms will be unable to offer humanity any assistance in the fortieth millennium.
By this time, they had already spent far too much time and energy on the Dragon Kingdoms.

The Golden Throne is nearing its limit; the Emperor can barely withstand the ever-growing, intense urges to self-destruct.
It's okay, though.
It was just a dream.

Zhou Yun told himself this as he watched the universe be consumed by the inferno of the Dark King's ascension, stars fall, stars extinguish, and only a dark sun hangs high in the subspace.
Ultimately, the galaxy was destroyed, the universe fell silent, and all things returned to death.
But Zhou Yun can continue to try.
One thousand times, two thousand times, three thousand times, five thousand times, ten thousand times, fifteen thousand times, twenty thousand times
More and more dreams flashed before Zhou Yun's eyes. He watched the Dark King ascend to power time and time again, watched all things in the universe perish in the fire, and finally, only the pitch-black sun in the void watched him as he stepped into the next dream.

His dream stretched endlessly, and with increasing skill, he gradually drew closer to his desired goal, to obtain the answer.
The 22,221st dream

This time, Zhou Yun did not make a choice.

He ignored the space undead, the Tyranid swarm, and the Emperor of Man.

He went to a paradise world that he had carefully selected from his more than 20,000 dreams, lay on the soft grass of this planet, and stared blankly at the clouds drifting across the sky.

He had chosen this paradise world a long time ago, but out of more than 20,000 dreams, only after experiencing the most unbearable, arduous, and headache-inducing dreams would he come to this paradise world, attempting to spend a peaceful and tranquil dream.

Of course, those who attempted to live in seclusion in a paradise ultimately did not achieve good results.
at last
Twenty-two thousand two hundred and twenty times, he felt he was very close to the answer.
In the previous few attempts, he had already found the last few pieces of information he was missing to obtain the answer.
He could clearly sense that he would get that answer in his next dream.
But was that really the answer he wanted?

Even if he gets the answer, will he definitely be able to save the galaxy?
Reality is not a dream; there are no second chances.
Even if he knows the answer, if he makes even the slightest mistake, if the butterfly effect occurs even slightly, everything could be ruined.
But this answer is one that, once taken, is almost impossible to turn back from.
Why does it have to be him?

Why can't it be someone better than him?

Saint Gilles? Guilliman? Lane?
But I've tried all of these in my dreams.
Only Zhou Yun can seek that answer; Zhou Yun himself is an indispensable part of that answer.
It wasn't because he could do it so well, but because it could only be him, only him.
The others could only eke out a living, unable to change the fate of the Dark Lord's ascension.

At this moment, lying on this lawn, Zhou Yun unexpectedly gained a deeper understanding of the emperor than ever before.
But whatever decision Zhou Yun makes after waking up, since he has already had more than 20,000 dreams, he naturally still has to get that answer.

And so, he lived out his life peacefully in this heavenly world, for the first time ever.
Perhaps it was the emperor's blessing, or perhaps fate had finally shown him a bit of favor.
But if he does nothing, the outcome will naturally remain the same.
He stood on the burning grass, watching the birth of the Dark Lord of this dream, watching the pitch-black sun hang above the warp and reality.
Watching the corpses of billions of humans lift the dark sun high into the sky, within which lay the remains of a human emperor...
The emperor burned fiercely, howling and roaring in agony. He was the Lord of Darkness, and also the sacrifice for the Lord of Darkness's birth.

He was the first person to die in the galaxy, and also the last person to die in the galaxy.

He stared at Zhou Yun, as if asking if Zhou Yun had received an answer.

Zhou Yun calmly turned around, letting the raging flames of erosion and destruction engulf him.

It's okay, though.
It was just a dream.
The galaxy is destroyed, the universe falls silent, and all things return to death.
Zhou Yun can continue to try.
