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

Chapter 312 Horus Meets the God-Emperor
"Bang bang bang!"

"Rumble————"

Three shells hit the bullseye of the passageway gate.

As the saying goes, "Smoke doesn't cause harm."

The explosion kicked up dust, but after the flames disappeared, the passageway gate remained intact.

A pale golden psionic barrier appeared on the gate, perfectly neutralizing the macro cannon's attack.

"Drip drip."

The device is responding.

“Boss, the strength of that psionic barrier is at the Alpha Gaga level, which is half the strength of the Palu portal. Judging from the psionic signature code, it is indeed the work of the big golden guy.”

Although the weasel was in a dormant state during the apostate era and lacked awareness of the outside world, it had already begun to possess the power of a god-emperor after being worshipped by many believers for a long time.

Any attack launched against Terra Palace will trigger the Weasel's instinctive reaction, causing him to block the attack with a psionic barrier.

This is why, all these years later, the demons of Karata have never been able to breach the palace.

Of course, this is also why Li Nuo dared to shell the gate.

He had previously learned from Makado that the Terra palace was impregnable during the Apostate era.

Golden Corn is a pure free-range chicken, utterly vulnerable to naval cannons. However, as long as the God Emperor can continue to gather faith power, Terra Palace will not be breached, and Golden Corn will naturally remain invincible.

After venting his anger with the Hongpao, Li Nuo ordered a return to base for rest and regrouping.

The Paru fleet established a temporary outpost in the ruins of Karata, and Lino switched his consciousness to Space Generation II.

Horus's escort ship left the warp and rendezvoused with Kron's reconnaissance ship.

Lino installed a network access device on the frigate and had the reconnaissance ship lead the frigate to Karata.

Inside the frigate's bridge, Horus, with his tenacious will and excellent physical condition, barely regained his ability to walk.

Bored in the treatment room, he went to the bridge to observe the Palu beastmen with curiosity.

Horus was truly shocked when the gates of the net opened.

As the Emperor's favorite Primarch, Horus learned knowledge from his father and Macardo from a young age, and can be said to be very knowledgeable.

He certainly knew of the existence of the ancient sages and the significance of the online path.

The moment the gate to the net opened, his heart skipped a beat, and he stood rooted to the spot like a wooden stake.

"This...this is the Neto?!"

Horus cried out, slightly out of control, before gasping for breath from the pain in his chest.

“Yes, this is the Net Way.” Li Nuo, possessing the second-generation Spaceman, almost burst out laughing at Horus’s country bumpkin-like appearance.
"However, it is not the internet of the rebellious era, but the internet of the apostate era."

The words "Age of Rebellion" did not affect Horus much; his face showed only relief, composure, and surprise at the cyberspace.

A few days ago, Lino checked Horus's injury as usual.

Horus is recovering well; he can get out of bed and walk around, and his mind is much sharper.

Tzeentch's false memories, Leno's account, and Guilliman's own experiences of being corrupted by psychic rituals.

All indications suggest that he is involved in a complex incident.

This series of appearances contains both truth and falsehood, some of which are deliberately fabricated, while others are a performance designed to mislead the public.

After a long period of thought and analysis, Horus, through his own efforts, uncovered the truth behind a series of events.

He did indeed instigate a great rebellion in the thirty-first millennium.

He was indeed killed by the emperor because of this rebellion.

All of this is the concealment of chaos, yet it truly happened.

When Horus and Lino recounted their analysis, they were emotionally stable, their thoughts coherent, their speech clear, though their words were tinged with doubt.

Why did Guilliman betray the Emperor? Why did I travel from the thirtieth millennium to the thirty-sixth millennium...?

Knowing that many things could no longer be kept secret, Li Nuo simply told them everything.

After hearing this, Horus said with immense relief:

"Thanks to Alpha and Omega, without them I would not have been so aware of how terrible the corruption of chaos is, nor would I have had the chance to undo my mistakes."

Everyone wants to live a second life.

This applies to mortals, and even more so to the original beings.

After learning the truth, Horus did not blame Lino for using lies to stabilize his injuries; he understood that this was an extraordinary measure for an extraordinary time.

Seeing that the chaos had not damaged his mind, Li Nuo allowed him to move around on the ship.

Thus, Horus witnessed the opening of the gates of the net.

What surprised him even more was what came next.

The Paru fleet's more than 300 ships are docked at the temporary spaceport in Karata, with a temporary outpost and space dock nearby.

The well-organized patrols and maintenance, the disciplined orc fleet, the spectacled butt-wielding man with scholar's glasses, and the tall and imposing Palu boy, who is as powerful as the Primarch.

Horus was deeply impressed by the spirit displayed by the Paru fleet:
"Your troops are well-equipped and brave. I regret that I did not witness their battle against the demons; it must have been a spectacular sight."

"There will be other opportunities in the future." Li Nuo smiled, waved to the other person, signaling him to go up to the command platform, and then gave instructions to the noisy boy:

“Send a communication request to tell Golden Corn that we have brought Horus Lupecal from the era of rebellion.”

"Hehe, okay, boss. I guarantee those golden corns will be so scared they'll wet their pants."

The boys had traveled extensively with the Space Generation II, were well-versed in the various eras of the human empire, and knew all too well the upheavals Horus's appearance here would cause.

Sure enough, when the Golden Corns saw Horus on the communication screen, they were all stunned for a full minute!

"No, this is a devil's plot! Don't believe our eyes!"

"He's Horus?! How could he be Horus?! Wasn't Horus killed by His Majesty?!"

"No, no, that can't be..."

Jin Yumi's nerves and mind were as hard as iron, yet more than half of the people panicked at this moment.

A few golden corn cobs picked up the data tablets, glanced at them, exchanged looks, and said into the communication channel:
"The results of the Auger matrix scan match the records in the gene archive."

"Although we hate to say it, we have to admit that the human with the golden light burning in his chest is indeed Horus Lupecal."

“His psionic aura matches His Majesty’s psionic identification code. I suggest we let him in so we can conduct further screening.”

The golden corns chimed in, engaging in a heated debate about whether or not to allow Horus into the palace.

Li Nuo interjected and asked:

"Why don't you go and ask the God-Emperor for his opinion first? If the God-Emperor wants to see Horus, you can take him in. If the God-Emperor is unwilling, then forget it."

The orcs' act of bombarding the gate was rather crude, but their advice was quite reasonable.

Jin Yumi sent one of his men back to report the news.

A moment later, the message came back.

"His Majesty invites you and Horus to come in together; the rest of you shall wait outside."

An air chamber entrance appeared above the passageway gate.

Li Nuo and Horus exchanged a glance, donned their armor for walking in the void, and entered the air pod. The pod closed, and a scan, disinfection, and cleaning process was completed. Li Nuo and Horus officially entered the Terran palace during the apostate era.

Without Golden Corn leading the way, Li Nuo skillfully guided Horus through the forks in the passage and into the correct doorway, demonstrating an even greater familiarity with the place than Golden Corn himself.

Golden Corn's attention was entirely focused on Horus, and he paid little attention to the orcs.

Thus, four men from the Golden Corn escorted Horus through the Golden Gate, up the steps, and to the Golden Throne.

Upon seeing the figure on the throne, Horus's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his gaze reddened, and he knelt on one knee, crying out in anguish:

"Father!"

A simple word, "father," has triggered a profound and moving reaction!
On the golden throne, a gaunt figure shone with golden light, a bright yet cold radiance filling the palace.

A middle-aged man with long hair and wearing golden armor descended the steps in the dazzling golden light, approaching Horus step by step.

"Horus..."

The middle-aged man tried his best to control his voice, but he still couldn't suppress the slight tremor in his tone:

"Is that you, Horus? Why...why are you here? Is this a dream?"

"Father..." Horus burst into tears without realizing it.

The middle-aged man suddenly clutched his head and let out a painful groan.

Just as Jin Yumi was about to rush forward and block the middle-aged man from Horus, Li Nuo stopped her.

"Don't move, this is normal. We have successfully awakened the emperor of the Apostate Era, and he is now connecting with the God Emperor of the End Era. Give him some time, and he will soon understand what is going on."

Jin Yumi ignored everything and tried to rush forward, but Li Nuo's strength was surprisingly great, and he firmly held all four of them in place.

The struggle lasted for more than ten seconds before the middle-aged man lowered his hands and let out a long sigh of relief.

“I see. Taladin, Comans, the four of you go back to guard the Golden Gate. I'll take care of things here.”

"His Majesty?"

"The Horus before you is indeed from the Age of Rebellion, and this orc is indeed our ally. Go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Nuo let go of his hand.

The four imperial guards glanced at him, picked up their halberds, and left.

The light on the golden throne dimmed, revealing a gaunt figure, but the middle-aged man did not disappear.

He said to Li Nuo:

"My payment will be made to you in the usual way. The human empire of the Apostate Era needs time to complete its integration. Once we are ready, we will immediately launch an attack on the Church of Omniscience. Until then, you are free to use your time as you wish. Thank you for your help."

Li Nuo knew that the father and son must have a lot to talk about, so he didn't want to waste their time. He simply replied and returned the way he came.

Before stepping through the golden gate, Li Nuo looked back and saw the father and son sitting on the steps having a long talk, a scene full of paternal love and filial piety.

The forbidden blue spell and holy mark within Horus's chest cavity have disappeared, and his chest has returned to normal.

It seems that even though he is a god-emperor from a time of apostasy, he can easily deal with forbidden blue-word techniques that have not yet fully taken effect.

Li Nuo felt relieved and strode away.

Back on the ship, a system message popped up.

[The quest "Eliminate the Enemies of the Holy Light Alliance" has been updated.]

[You have retrieved the Primarch Horus Lupecal, aiding the awakening of the God-Emperor from the Age of Apostasy.]

Based on your performance, the God-Emperor grants you the following rewards:

There are five essential conditions for ascending to the status of a True God of the Orcs. Please fulfill all the conditions in advance. You will receive the blueprint for the ascension ceremony when you collect your next reward.

[Condition 1: Obtained the genetic sample of the ancient orcs. This has been achieved.]

[Condition Two: Possessing a fragment of ancient orc genetic material; this has been achieved.]

[Condition 3: Control a beloved young priest; achieved.]

[Condition 4: Possess the corpse of an ancient orc leader. Not yet fulfilled. Please click here to accept the side quest. This quest will guide you to obtain the ancient orc's corpse.]

[Condition 5: "Ritual Materials List" - Please collect all items on this list. Not achieved.]

The first three conditions don't need to be considered; Li Nuo had already met them long ago.

The fifth condition provided a list, which Li Nuo opened and looked at; there were no difficult points.

The fourth condition was the only one that left him a bit stumped, but thankfully the God Emperor thoughtfully provided a corresponding side quest.

Li Nuo clicked to claim the task, and the task interface popped up.

[Quest: Talathim's Secret Treasury.]

【describe:】

[Tarrazin controls the tomb world of Solemnace. Among its collection is the corpse of an ancient orc chieftain, dating back to the War of Heaven.]

Solemnas is located in the southern part of the Far East star system; its specific address is (a string of symbols).

Please travel to Solemnas and obtain this ancient orc corpse by any means.

[Task Reward: None.]

Tarasin?
King of Figurines?
Sending the Blood Raven Clan to steal Tarashin's figurines would be a showdown of the century!

Li Nuo glanced at the Paru fleet entrenched in Karata and couldn't help but smile to himself.

Let's talk to Tarachin first. If we can't reach an agreement, then we'll steal from them. If we can't steal from them, then we'll fight. We can't just let these 300-plus ships have a holiday here.

Li Nuo adjusted the download device.

The second-generation spacefarer was aboard a frigate belonging to the Holy Light Alliance, which was a modified version of the Human Empire's Sword-class frigate.

Lino left the ship in Karata and entrusted it to Golden Corn for safekeeping.

All the supplies and equipment on the ship were transferred to Kron's scout ship, while the boy and the fart spirit were assigned to the fleet.

Command of the fleet was handed over to Space Generation II.

Li Nuo arranged for the Space Second Generation Restoration Fleet to replenish its manpower using alchemical potions and spores.

He also took out sufficient materials from the Paru warehouse and gave them to the fleet to repair ships and replenish ammunition, fuel, and coolant.

With everything arranged, Lino possessed Kron and piloted the scout ship to find a route to Solemnas.

This reconnaissance mission lasted six days, during which Li Nuo discovered something interesting.

Solemnas is located in the southern part of the Far East region.

It was a strange planet covered with countless mirrors.

Using necromantic technology, Tarachin transformed the entire planet, adding a "Dyson sphere" that could isolate it from external detection and internal energy reactions.

This sphere uses activated metal as its main material, which not only has self-repairing capabilities but also prevents energy from leaking out of the planet and efficiently collects solar energy, making the entire planet's energy utilization efficiency extremely high.

The seamless Dyson sphere also blocked the visitors from outer space.

Li Nuo piloted a stealthy reconnaissance ship, circling the planet in search of a suitable landing site.

Deep underground, a green screen illuminates a metallic necromancer mask, its empty eyes silently watching the invisible ships above the planet.
