I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 274 The Emperor Says the God Emperor is a False Emperor
"Yes, you heard me right. I want you to destroy the man on the throne, the God-Emperor of the Apostate Era and the End Era. I control all the power of the Dark Lord, so the 'God-Emperor' of these two sub-universes, the Apostate Era and the End Era, is most likely an imposter from the Chaos God. I want you to destroy them for me."

The emperor made a startling statement.

Li Nuo didn't realize it at first, thinking that the Emperor wanted to send him to his death.

But when Li Nuo heard the term "God Emperor," he suddenly understood.

The Chaos God can freely choose which sub-universe to reside in.

The emperor before me was the fifth Chaos God – the Dark King.

Influenced by a certain law of the Age of Rebellion, the Emperor, despite possessing the power and status of a true god, can act freely in human form and is not subject to the will of the Dark Lord.

The Lord of Darkness is a first-class soul.

In the Warhammer canon, the Dark Lord answered the Emperor's call during the duel between the Emperor and Horus, using the Emperor as a vessel to descend into the real universe and bestowing upon him power.

From the Emperor's perspective, this process was about embracing his warp essence, abandoning his physical body, and ascending to become a Chaos God.

However, from the perspective of the Dark Lord, as a first-class soul, the Dark Lord merely infiltrated the spacetime node of the Horus Rebellion and chose the Emperor as the vessel for his descent.

The Emperor's control of the Dark Lord's power is tantamount to being possessed by the Dark Lord, transforming into the Dark Lord's form from the inside out.

The emperor in front of me encountered a bug.

He possessed all the divine power of the Dark Lord, yet he was not under the Dark Lord's control.

So the question arises: if the Dark Lord's authority is in the hands of the Emperor before him, then what kind of authority does the God-Emperor of the Apostolic Age and the Age of End hold?

During the Apostolic Age and the Age of End, the God-Emperor was called the "God-Emperor" because he could respond to the prayers of nuns, monks, and warriors like a god, and provide them with help in critical moments.

The emperor before me claims to possess the full power of the Dark Lord. Then the "God Emperor" who responded to prayers during the Apostate Era and the End Era should not possess the power of the Dark Lord.

The divine power of the emperors of these two eras must have originated from elsewhere, most likely from the "chaotic evil god" mentioned by the emperor before them.

But is that really the case?
Li Nuo wondered to himself.

For this argument to hold true, there are two prerequisites.

The first prerequisite:
The emperor before them possessed the full power of the Dark Lord.

This is a fundamental premise.

Only after the major premise is satisfied can the second premise, or minor premise, be established:
The divine power of the God-Emperor during the Apostolic Age and the End Age must have originated from the Chaos Evil God, and not from any other deity.

Only if these two preconditions, one major and one minor, are met will Li Nuo consider agreeing to the Emperor's request.

But then again, Your Majesty, you think too highly of me.

I'm just someone who farms in the online world.

Asking me to fight "false emperors" in the Apostate Era and the End Era seems a bit too far-fetched.

Li Nuo fell into deep thought.

The emperor spoke:

“I know what you’re worried about. To prove my point, I can send you to the sub-universes of the Apostate Era and the End Era to experience the conditions there firsthand. Once you’ve verified my claims, it won’t be too late to consider eliminating the ‘false emperor’ on the throne.”

Li Nuo spread his hands and asked:

"You're so capable, why don't you go yourself?"

"I cannot leave the sub-universe of the Rebellion Era. Not only can I not leave, but I must also mobilize most of my forces to seal off the subspace of this sub-universe to prevent the Chaos God from infiltrating..."

The Emperor patiently recounted many details of the sub-universe.

Li Nuo gradually realized that this was a battle royale game in which the gods were the pawns.

The Rebellion Era sub-universe has a total timeline of 1035 years.

The Apostolic Era sub-universe, with a timeline spanning 1983.

The End Age sub-universe has no end in timeline, starting from the first year of the 41st millennium and continuing until the sub-universe is naturally destroyed.

The End Times were extremely chaotic, and it had become a trend, a fashion, and a political phenomenon for the Space Marines of the Imperium of Man to be blessed by the Chaos God.

He who loves the terror of war, the lust of Slaanesh, and the cycle of life of Nergoth, chooses to remain in the end times.

Tzeentch loves change and planning, and he also enjoys impersonating the "God-King," making the Apostate Era his preferred choice.

When the Apostolic Age sub-universe reaches the end of its timeline, Tzeentch must move his family to the End Age in order to ensure their survival thereafter.

The emperor before me was the same.

The rebellion era sub-universe is currently his little territory.

To save the Primarch, build a pan-galactic human empire, comprehensively strengthen the Primarch, the Imperial fleet, and the Space Marines, and finally collectively enter the End Age to fight a final battle against four Chaos enemies.

If the Emperor's plan continues, eventually the Primarchs of the 30k era will emerge, collectively aiding the human empire in the 41k era.

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," and "To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability."

When the emperors of the 30k era reached the 41k era, their first enemy was not the four peddlers, but the "God Emperor".

Considering the chaotic situation in the End Age, the Emperor felt it would be better to allow the Apostate Age sub-universe to develop for 1000 years before the timeline of the Rebellion Age sub-universe reached its end.

This means we must take territory from Tzeentch.

“I have confirmed that the ‘God-Emperor’ of the Apostate Era sub-universe is an imposter, Tzeentch.”

The emperor stared at Li Nuo with his dark, unyielding eyes:

"Once you are fully prepared, I will send you to the sub-universe of the Apostate Era. Once there, you are free to decide whether to help me. Of course, you can also refuse me. However, doing so will deprive you of a path to leave this sub-universe, and you will have to seek a way out from other gods. Their demands may not be as easy as mine."

The "other gods" mentioned by the emperor should refer to the Spirit Race.

They sought help from the Emperor, who only asked them to eliminate the "God Emperor."

Seeking help from the spirit race's gods might result in them demanding that you kill the four peddlers, significantly increasing the difficulty.

Li Nuo was fully aware of this, and did not reject the emperor's proposal on the spot:
"I need to go back and discuss it with my buddies before I can make a decision."

"Yes, no problem." The Emperor nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Before we conclude this meeting, I would like to make a request."

Li Nuo asked:
"Um, what's your request?"

The emperor emphasized the following:

"I have done a lot of preparation to save my offspring. During the recent rescue of Koz and Angra, I received some information. Unidentified orcs, mysterious psionicists, or some other characters appeared on the scene, interfering with my Primarch rescue operation. If these people are your people, I hope you will stop interfering with my work to save my offspring. In return, I promise not to interfere with your development of the Web Path."

Well, it seems I was worrying about things that weren't my concern.

Since things have come to this point, it wouldn't be right not to give them face. "Okay, no problem, we understand."

Li Nuo paused for a moment and asked:

"Do you still want that subspace energy single crystal? You're so powerful now, I feel like single crystals are pretty much useless to you."

"No, single crystals are useful to me." The Emperor's voice was deep and resonant.
"My power must be used to protect this universe, the Primarch, and myself. I cannot spare much power to protect the mortals of this universe. The single crystal can greatly alleviate my burden."

“Okay, I understand. I’ll discuss the monocrystalline transaction with Golden Corn myself.”

Li Nuo waved his hand:
"I'm leaving, bye-bye."

"Farewell, I await good news." The Emperor waved his hand, opening the golden gate and allowing the orcs to return the way they came.

The golden gate opened and closed, and silence fell at the foot of the throne.

The rustling sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached.

Imperial Chancellor Macardo strolled over slowly, leaning on his staff.

He stood to the side and behind the emperor, gazing at the closed golden gate, and let out a long sigh:

"Your Majesty, these are truly a strange group of orcs. They have conquered Comoros, mastered the technology to produce warp energy single crystals, and can even extract warp essence from warp. In every aspect, they are far more powerful than Ulanoro. My spies have been observing them for a long time, but they still cannot figure out their origins. Your Majesty, what do you think is the origin of these orcs?"

In Macado's eyes, the Emperor was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man dressed in a coarse cloth robe, just like himself.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing slightly:
“Don’t laugh at me, Mark. Even with the power of the Dark Lord, I still couldn’t see through these orcs. Some force is preventing me from seeing their trajectory and future prospects.”

Makado's expression was somewhat grave:
"This phenomenon is unusual. The force interfering with you may be no less than that of the Dark Lord. Could it be the 'Gao Mao Er Ge' that the orcs always talk about? But we haven't found 'Gao Mao Er Ge' in the warp."

The emperor shook his head slightly:

"The fact that 'Gorma' did not appear in the warp does not mean that they absolutely do not exist. It is possible that they have placed the essence of the warp into the real universe and resided in some orcs."

Makado pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
“That’s certainly possible. If that’s the case, we’ll have to capture Bloodhand and the orc who saved Angra to investigate them and figure out what’s going on.”

The emperor nodded slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:
"We will study these orcs carefully, but not now. First, we will gather all our offspring according to plan, consolidate our base, and then deal with the aliens in this universe."

A hint of coldness crept into the emperor's words:
"Those aliens who are willing to cooperate with me may stay, but they must obey my orders. Those who are unwilling will be eliminated."

Macado nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

Uncooperative aliens will undoubtedly become a springboard for the Chaos's great enemy to invade this universe.

Rather than letting them wreak havoc on the human empire, it's better to eradicate them early to prevent future troubles.

On this point, Macardo shared the Emperor's view and treated everyone equally, showing no mercy.

...

...

the other side.

Li Nuo and Jin Yumi completed this transaction.

Both parties agreed that, starting with the next transaction, the trading volume of monocrystalline crystals would be increased to 100 million tons.

Lino ordered Kron to transport the green light mud to Comoros and switch his consciousness to the space body.

He was stationed in Comoros to oversee Palu Boy's work on building the psionic engine, repairing the Heart of Fire, and translating Isabella's soul code.

After possessing space, Li Nuo found Isaacrian in the open-air workshop where psionic engines were being manufactured and asked her directly:

"I want to contact the pointy-eared prophet through official channels, and ideally, speak with the pointy-eared deity. Do you have any suggestions?"

Isabella glanced at Li Nuo, a smirk playing on her lips as she teased:
"What? Your people got thwarted by the weasel? Now you know to ask our Spirit Clan's gods for help?"

“Say what you want to say, or don’t say it at all. Also, you’re a black bean sprout, not a pointy-eared one. A god with pointy ears might not like you. Don’t keep calling him ‘your spirit race’s god,’ as if you’re very familiar with a god with pointy ears.”

Li Nuo retorted irritably.

Isabella crossed her arms and scoffed:
"So, you're just a greenhorn, you don't understand our situation at all. You know, the clown's backer is the God of Laughter, who once extended an olive branch to me. He sent a clown to approach me, trying to recruit me into the troupe."

"real or fake?"

Li Nuo scrutinized Isabella from head to toe.

In orc slang, clowns are called "flower sprouts," clown troupes are called "flower sprout troupes," and the laughing god behind the clown troupe is called "flower sprout king."

The Clown Troupe has relatively lenient requirements for its members. As long as you share the same ideals, whether you are a member of the Dark Eldar, the Ark Eldar, or an Eldar pirate, you can become one of them.

Of course, the difficulty lies in finding "like-minded people".

Faced with Li Nuo's doubts, Isabella was full of confidence and somewhat smug:

"How many Eldar do you think possess the legacy of the ancient Eldar now? Before you swept through Comoros, there were at most ten people like me whose soul codes contained knowledge of the ancient Eldar."

"To tell you the truth, I've been carefully recalling my past experiences these past few days. I can confirm that there is at least one spirit god in this universe, most likely the most talkative of the spirit gods, the Laughing God - Xi Gaoqi."

Li Nuo raised an eyebrow:

"Why do you say that?"

Isabella raised her index finger:

"The prophets of the Ark race must rely on the power of the race's deities to receive prophetic revelations. The prophets I've encountered can all use their prophetic abilities normally. This indicates that there is at least one race deity in the sub-universe. Even if the true form of the race deity is not here, He must have sent at least one avatar to oversee things. I think it should be the Laughing God, or an avatar of the Laughing God."

Li Nuosi nodded thoughtfully:
"That sounds reasonable. So how can we talk to the bean sprout?"

Isabella winked and smiled like a fox:

"Do you believe that if I send a message using the encoded transmitter, the clown will appear?"

Encoded transmitters are unique network communication devices of the Dark Eldar, capable of transmitting messages between different network spaces.

This item could easily be used by Isabella to request reinforcements, so Lino hid it in the forward base of the Netway.

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then had the beast bring over an encoding transmitter from the forward base.

A moment later, Isabella saw the telegraph machine as she had hoped.

Under Lino’s supervision, Isabella sent a simple message.

The recipient's address is the same as the network node where the Black Library is located:

Spirit Race Holy Mark - N98-76T54.
