This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 511 You Spirit Race can leave, but I, a human, cannot?

Dawnwing knows its own limitations, even after living for so many years.

Or rather, living in this galaxy is the most efficient way to rid arrogance of those who are familiar with its true nature.

Although they couldn't stand the living conditions of humans, they combined their precognitive awareness and innate extraordinary abilities to gradually intervene in imperial affairs, starting with making human life a little better, and gradually gaining more and more power and influence.

But everyone always knew that this ultimate overpowered protagonist in the universe had been beaten half to death and was still squatting on the golden throne.

Those immortal companions who had been entangled with him since ancient times, such as the first Warmaster Orpeson, the over-the-top Lady Erda, the Cult agent John, and the young man Macardo born in the Dark Ages, etc., all of whom were close comrades of the Emperor, were all killed in the counterattack of the Four Gods. It can be said that not a single one was spared.

This made the time travelers even more aware of the kind of enemies they were facing, and they became more cautious in making decisions on various matters. They no longer dared to be as carefree as they were when they were chatting and joking around before they came to power, and they did not try to create a path that was unprecedented and unparalleled.

Just like the previous arrangements made for the Eldar and the Greenskins, the group also has a relatively clear and feasible plan for the future of humanity.

That's plagiarism.

As one of the two victors in the war for heaven, the pure reality path of the space necromancers is a complete failure for this universe. After all, souls truly exist, and no one can deny the objective connection between intelligent life itself and the warp.

In a sense, it's questionable whether life forms without subspace projection can even be considered life. This is why the Necromancer, after being transformed by the disastrous Star God, developed a strong self-identity bias and ultimately chose to betray the Star God for revenge after the war.

Then there's the Eldar.

"I would like to thank you all again for your decision to provide assistance, and for Lord Huron’s decisive support. Lord Huron is an excellent politician. It is just a pity that reality did not give us more time. Due to the loose structure of the alliance, it was difficult to reach a consensus and we were unable to conduct a more in-depth discussion on cooperation."

After receiving the racial resettlement measures handed to him by Ifreni, the High King looked at the Eldar who had already infiltrated the Primarch's secretariat, and at the treatment they received that was completely in line with that of the orthodox humans. He also felt a somewhat incomprehensible emotion.

However, as the leader elected by the five major alliances of Wotan after being severely tortured and losing ninety percent of their population, Thorgrim the Vengeful One naturally wouldn't make too many low-level mistakes. Without hesitation, he immediately revealed his secrets to the Primarch.

"Fortunately, we have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we will actively respond to the Primarch's request."

After saying that, he immediately handed over the Primarch a hard drive that he had prepared, which contained information on the existing STC and other technologies of the Wotan Alliance.

As a hooded priest, Thorek Ironbrows, who was not required to participate in the conversation directly, made no attempt to hide his stare at the young Eldar secretary, clearly not understanding how the Eldar could attain such a status among humans.

There's nothing we can do; you're not as good at commanding armies as the Eldar.

It sounds cruel, but for humans who haven't evolved to the level of ancient saints who don't need to worry about gains and losses, it's a political issue they have to face.

Let alone the Eldar, even if the Orks actually fixed the network one day and came out to humans saying, "Let's stop fighting, let's make peace, share technology, and achieve mutual benefit," then the humans would still happily greet them. To facilitate their activities within the Empire, they might even issue them a demi-human certificate or something.

Even Ramses, who was working as a supervisor in the park and also focused on negotiations regarding artificial heritable psychic technology, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement when he thought about the history of the Eldar Empire.

Sixty million years.

He lived as the galactic overlord for a full sixty million years.

A naturally psychic race with incredibly resilient souls and ridiculously strong bodies, requiring no modification and only needing minimal training to rival the Astartes. Individuals within the race are immortal, their genes are stable and difficult to contaminate, their social productivity is explosive, their overall technological level is inherited from the Old Ones, their military might crushes the galaxy, and they have the Pantheon in the Warp, maintaining a dominant position in both the Warp and the real world for a long time.

See, this is what it means to be the chosen one?
Now let's look at humans.

Leaving aside lifespan and physical condition, the upper limit for non-heretic life-extending surgeries is five hundred years. Exceeding that limit can easily lead to problems, and physical fitness would be a disaster. If they were truly good, the emperor wouldn't have created such astonishing and ruthless things as the Imperial Guard, Thunder Warriors, and Astartes.

The Wings of Dawn have been busy for almost a hundred years, and not counting Astartes, they have increased the average lifespan of the Empire by 13 years, which is less than the number of years of compulsory education enacted in the Dawn system.

Genetics are also highly unstable. Even though the Wotan Alliance has only been separated for less than 20,000 years, the physiological differences between the two sides have already become significant. During the Dark Ages, with the explorations of various technological whizzes, a diverse array of advancements flourished, which even the Bloodlings might find astounding.

Just kidding, Fenris has no wolves.

One of the Emperor's greatest achievements during the Great Crusade was the re-correction of the genes of humans on various planets, which had almost completely diverged from each other. This led to the establishment of a genetic identity recognized by the mainstream of the Empire, which laid the foundation for the long-term survival of the human empire.

Coupled with the Iron Man rebellion and the subsequent explosion of the Eye of Terror that caused the warp to break, the Imperial colonies to be isolated, and the alien invasion, the human Empire and the rulers of its planets have become somewhat concerned about maintaining unity and recognizing the leadership headed by the Terra Highlords Council.

Let's just make do. If we completely abandon the reference to the old night era, life will be even more unbearable.

Not to mention souls, the upper and lower limits vary greatly. There are immortal beings like Makado who are beyond the realm of reason, and there are unfortunate souls who have just awakened their psychic powers and were possessed by demons.

As for psionic technology...
At 40k, the most routine operation of the Star Language Court, the official communication hub of the Empire, is still to play symphonies and organize choirs and shamans in the church.

Of course, we can't entirely blame humans.

The main problem is that the warp has been thrown into chaos by the Eldar, and humanity's psionic technology is a late-developing technology. We haven't even had a chance to develop it yet, and now we simply don't have the resources to research it.

Given the environment of the subspace, even if Ramses didn't have some special abilities, he wouldn't dare to go there.

Who knows whether the one opening their arms to you is cunning or truth?

Snapped!
The sound of violent whipping echoed back from the assembly line, accompanied by the demon's painful cries.

A Spirit Race Analyst wielded a whip made of psionic energy, striking the demon precisely at its core while pushing it to its limit.

Fine fragments of essence were drawn off the whip blade. The analyst skillfully rubbed the blade with his palm, and a handful of crystals gathered in his hand.

This is the most authentic memory obtained from a demon in the harshest environment, when it was powerless to protect itself and could no longer even muster the instinct to protect. It is a memory that is hard to fake.

These precious memories will be handed over to the prophet in charge of the knowledge production line for preservation, screening and sharing, and finally submitted to the higher-level team for further review, comparison with the stored projects, and finally entered and archived.

Duplicate information will be concentrated in the reserved area and cleaned up periodically to prevent it from occupying the subspace capacity of Dawnwing that is used to protect knowledge and technology security.

This information will be compared again before cleaning to prevent any unexpected situations.

Once confirmed to be completely accurate, duplicate information is thoroughly destroyed, and the prophet responsible for this task is jokingly referred to as the "burning agent."

Currently, with the Eldar fully siding with the Dawnwings, the Warp Park has become expandable as its population has increased. It has further established a production system centered on Warp Demons, with core objectives including knowledge collection, expansion of the Aspect of the Celestials' living quarters, development of pure Warp energy, and further development and application of Emperor Engine technology.

These jobs require frontline workers to possess nothing more than precise psionic control, strong mental resilience, and most importantly—

Unparalleled loyalty to the leader.

This poses no pressure for the Eldar.

These people not only felt no guilt for torturing demons, but even found it enjoyable.

As for powerful figures, they've tried to curry favor with them before. As long as they can live better than under Slaanesh, they're willing to do anything.

Judging from the attitudes of the Eldar prophets Ramses received, these people didn't care about having a god to care for them; they were more concerned about not losing their powerful ally.

The Eldar race is generally heartless, and we cannot ignore the overall characteristics of this race because of a few charismatic individuals or a small group.

If no one cares, we can look to the end of the Eldar Empire; in any case, the Wings of Dawn have no intention of loosening their moral requirements on the Eldar. But now there's another big problem.

Ramses had too many Eldar under his command, which greatly squeezed out human employment opportunities.

We now have the basic technology for psychic powers, a reliable god, and the prototype of the Pantheon is under construction. However, the Emperor really doesn't like this name, so we'll discuss it and change it later.

But there was no one.

A significant portion of these psionicists and think tanks are still struggling to progress under the tutelage of their psionic mentors. According to graduation requirements, they haven't even completed their courses, their thesis defense is still a long way off, let alone leading their own work.

Ramses can't keep using the Eldar forever, can he? What about all the technology he's extracted from the demons?
While the Empire has the Astartes, and a select few, exceptionally gifted, stable psionicists, what about the rest?
Honestly, given Astartes' current state, any Primarch other than Guilliman could easily turn these people into something like warp demons if they wanted to. Changing bodies would be as easy as shedding a shell; at most, they wouldn't be as noble as the Eldar, and they'd have to pay the warp for things when they returned to the real universe.

However, everyone still hopes that the general public can also have the opportunity to join in. Although the current situation objectively does not allow it, and perhaps the people of the Empire who are used to suffering are too lazy to care about these things, they just feel that it would be better if the Lord could be treated like a human being. But they should still be given a chance.

Otherwise, when the Wings of Dawn launch their 'Great Uprising' in the future, should we bring these people along or not?
If the Dawnwing Empire's future technology becomes even more psionic, what will become of these people?

So, the Astartes are working in the domains of various Primarchs, the psykers are serving the Emperor in the Warp, and the rest of us are just going to stand by and watch?

The time travelers felt that if they were going to take charge, they should take charge to the end.

The knowledge is there; what I'm giving you now is the conditions to enable you to learn.

To put it bluntly, if the Eldar can follow this path of evolution for the entire race, why can't humans?
Nobody believes it!

The Astartes modification is definitely not suitable. This thing is purely based on talent. If it's not good, it's not good. You can't just expel one of them from the race.

Human genes are not exactly stable, and making major changes without any experience or historical lessons can easily lead to a mess.

The Wotan Alliance happens to possess this technology, which can impart the same traits to a large group of people in a short period of time.

The Wotan Alliance's database contains a quasi-pseudo-technology: Barrier Technology.

This item can enhance the Hearthborn's originally weak psychic abilities, allowing them to cast psychic spells just like ordinary psychics of other races.

This is also the origin of the rumors within the Empire that the Wotan are immune to the subspace, and it is also the reason why many Inquisitors speculated in the early days that it played a decisive role in the evolution of the Tau Empire.

But these are all old news. For humanity, which has already decided to follow the Eldar route, as long as they end the possibility of Eldar rising in the warp, then this adversary will lose its threat.

The former site of the Tau Empire, located in the northern part of the ancient Otlamar, is sandwiched between the Dawn System and the Greater Otlamar. Due to its stable environment and fixed subspace routes, it has begun to return to human life with the arrival of human immigrants and has started to develop steadily. In the future, it will become a bridge for communication between the Greater Otlamar and the Dawn Sector.

Of course, not every Hearthborn has psionic talent, but now it will depend on how well the clone Brocade performs.

The Cloning Brocade creates clones with psychic abilities specifically to meet the needs of Alliance tribes, such as the respected Hooded Priests.

The Hooded Priests hold a transcendent position within the Wotan. They possess psionic talents unmatched by their brothers from birth. Similar to the Machinist priests, they are responsible for communicating with the Ancestral Core, a type of machine, and are regarded as the present-day ancestors by their fellow kin.

“Our cloned brocade is well preserved, and the related gene sequences and technology have not been contaminated.”

Seeing that the Wings of Dawn were so focused on technologies that could improve the overall quality of the Empire's people, the High King immediately grasped the key point.

He set aside his intended priority of emphasizing the Ancestral Core, prioritizing explaining to the Primarch the extent to which the Clones of Brocade were preserved, while also expressing his gratitude once again to Huron for being sent to rescue the clan.

If the other side hadn't chosen to exercise restraint when accepting the Alliance's plea for help, and hadn't been so eager to plunder the Alliance after the Chaos invasion, and hadn't helped the Alliance salvage a lot of technology that should have been destroyed before Abaddon tore apart the Silver Heart in the early stages of the war, Thorgrim wouldn't have been able to speak with such confidence to the Primarch.

Management is truly a science.

Huron may not have been the most outstanding Astartes, but he was definitely the most capable official in the Astartes.

Of course, we cannot ignore the need for all parties to correct his thinking and restrain his behavior, which enabled this once-misguided warband leader to successfully realize his value.

Similarly, Dawnwing will not be able to obtain as many things now.

Romulus made this judgment and told Guilliman.

"I think we can start promoting it in local areas. I can guarantee the safety of the technology. The interference of subspace technology with real universe technology is an old topic. As long as I establish a foothold, the risk is practically zero."

Chaos has been hating the Astartes surgery for a long time, but it's because the gene seed is directly bound to the loyalist Primarch, making it impossible to do anything about it.

Guilliman pondered for a moment.

To be honest, as someone who had been through the Great Crusade, he had always held a rather conservative view on genetic modification. Dawnwing had never actually seen how flashy those mutants or even humans who were labeled as aliens really were.

He made a huge decision to send Caul to explore the modification of the Primitive Space Marines, and at that time he held absolute power—

Although it was certainly too ambitious to say that, Guilliman believed that he was fully capable of handling the issue at that time.

But things are a little different now.

Their work is being overseen by the emperor.

However, since the Wings of Dawn have already laid out their future plans in detail, and it is a clear path that the Eldar have already explored but ruined by their own recklessness.

With Arthur as a backup plan, and driven by the desire for a better future, Guilliman felt it wasn't out of the question.

"I agree."

After quickly simulating contingency plans in his mind and devising numerous relatively feasible solutions for handling unexpected events, Guilliman approved and they subsequently signed the directive document together.

The surrounding secretariat quickly took over the documents.

Faced with the instructions issued by the Primarch, the secretariat had to work to develop a contingency plan by combining the relevant technical specifications submitted by the High King, and to select pilot planets to further develop a more detailed plan.

The empire has time now and can afford to wait. It can proceed step by step, addressing any problems that arise and overcoming any difficulties. It should only be rolled out after all preparations are complete, to avoid making a hasty decision and creating a mess.

This is also why compulsory education is difficult to implement in the Dawn Star Sector; many planets lack the necessary conditions, leaving Romulus to meticulously refine them bit by bit.

Guilliman then withdrew from the complex calculations and continued to look at the High King.

Compared to gene technology, which he instinctively wanted to avoid, he was quite interested in another key technology of the Wotan Alliance.

He casually flipped through the next database on the holographic image, and a 3D skull-shaped computer was displayed in front of everyone.

Ancestral core.
