Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 636 Transforming the Immortals Triggers the Early Opening of the Eleventh Layer of Space

The third month of 894.

On the second planet of the cradle of serpents, Nimrod shed his black armor, revealing a body as smooth as marble.

He slowly lay down in the Fountain of Youth, and at the same time, with a thought, John, who was standing in the center of the ceremony area, raised his hand.

Following the activation method in the mind link, the cat placed its paw on it, and psychic energy surged forth.

The dazzling light shone into the obsidian eyes of the Brain Cat, just like Nimrod's.

The runes of Isa, the goddess of life, were clearly reflected in the eyes of the Primarch.

The Primarch clearly felt that as his body was being cleansed in the clear spring of life, his spirit was also being refined and made purer.

He couldn't help but let out a soft, satisfying gasp.

As the water rippled, a thick black mist suddenly rose around him.

[Hmm?] Ninglu was startled. He had not actively controlled the "Disordered Kingdom" and did not know why black mist was rising around him.

Before he could figure out what had happened, he suddenly felt the Fountain of Youth begin to boil.

The progenitor keenly sensed that the rate at which the spring water was being consumed was significantly faster than before when converting subordinates.

[Is it because I am the Primogeniture?]
Ning Lu stared at the black mist that filled his vision and couldn't help but think to himself.

[It seems to be related to more than just this, and also to the concept of a "disordered country."]
As he pondered, light flickered in the eyes of the Primogen, and his telekinetic powers spread out, extending towards a fountain of youth ten kilometers away.

Planet Two has three fountains of youth, two of which were consumed during the previous transformation process; this is the last one.

The telekinetic energy took the shape of a water pipe and reached the sweet fountain of youth.

The water was drawn up by telekinesis, meandering along the "pump pipe" and flowing into the pit, replenishing the depletion of the Fountain of Youth.

While maintaining the original gene and replenishing the fountain of youth, they also keep an eye on the changes in the "disordered country".

Ninglu, with his superhuman perspective, looked down upon the kingdom shrouded in black mist.

He saw that deeper within the "black box" formed by the gray lines of rules, black mist surged and billowed.

Lines of rules appeared chaotically within the black mist.

The unbalanced scene plunged Ninglu's thoughts into chaos and distortion.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, his reflections on the current situation shimmered around him like shards of a broken mirror.

Mystical rune changes triggered by Isa's Life Rune.

The Fountain of Youth, a high-level entity, triggered changes in the "Disordered Kingdom".

The "Black Emperor's" resurrection ability is amplified by the evolutionary boost from the transformation of immortals.

……

Just as Ninglu was about to ascend to the third level of the Thelma state of mind, gathering his chaotic thoughts like a tangled ball of yarn, the black mist suddenly surged and then disappeared.

His thoughts settled, and his mind became clear.

Ninglu looked down upon the lines of rules, layer upon layer, rapidly taking shape to form a magnificent megastructure.

Its front features a sloping gate, and the building as a whole is shaped like a spire, radiating a dazzling light.

As the black mist surrounding him dissipated, the function of the eleventh level space became clear in Ning Lu's mind.

The bizarre building is a mausoleum, corresponding to the "Black Emperor's" resurrection ability.

Ninglu anticipated that the source essence would activate its resurrection ability ahead of schedule, but he thought it would happen during the transformation after advancing to Sequence 4. However, he did not expect it to activate in the eleventh layer of space.

While he was filled with admiration, he noticed that the mausoleum was different from what he knew.

Ninglu knew that the "Black Emperor's" ascension ceremony would drive the people to build nine pyramid-shaped mausoleums.

The eleventh floor building, however, resembles an elegant spire, with its doors tilted.

[It seems to combine the life force of Isha, the life goddess of the Elven race.]
From the information presented in his mind regarding the "Land of Chaos," Nimrod noticed that exploring this dimension differed from the process of the "Black Emperor's" resurrection. The "Black Emperor's" resurrection process had three stages:
First, uniqueness is separated from the owner and conceptualized and abstracted.

Then, the Black Emperor's subjects heard once again the majestic voice of the gods.

Finally, the "Black Emperor," who merged with "uniqueness," reappeared, and the three Sequence 1 extraordinary properties automatically returned to His hands.

Compared to other methods of resurrection, the "Black Emperor" can be considered the strongest, as he represents an order that other true gods cannot reverse or stop.

The resurrection he now possesses will not reclaim anything, but the source matter grants him that the resurrection process will not be interfered with.

He was resurrected not at the place where most immortals died, but in the mausoleum of the eleventh level.

Nimrod's resurrection ability is also different from that of the "Black Emperor" in his memory.

The Black Emperor will not truly die until all nine of his secret mausoleums are destroyed.

Even if all nine mausoleums are destroyed, as long as a certain number of remnants of the order established by the "Black Emperor" remain, He can still exploit the loopholes in death to resurrect.

Although Nimrod is not associated with the mausoleum or order, as the chosen one of the "disordered nation," he can be resurrected in the mausoleum of the eleventh level space as long as he still bears the responsibility of evolution.

Ning Lu pondered the differences, his eyes suddenly shining.

The resurrection granted by the "Land of Chaos" is stronger in some ways, at least it was before I was abandoned by the Source.

Of course, I can't just act recklessly; if I get killed, I'll lose everything I have.

When heading to truly life-threatening situations, I cannot bring equipment like the Hand of Order, as this would significantly weaken my combat capabilities.
Nimrod considered the evolutionary requirements of the "Land of Chaos," as well as the required potion ingredients and rituals, which were significantly more difficult than other sequences, and naturally concluded:

The ritual requirements for my ascension to "Black Emperor" will be higher, and my resurrection ability may also be stronger.

After Ninglu was satisfied with the resurrection ability he had gained, he at least gained a certain degree of "courting death" ability.

As he pondered, the black mist dissipated, and the rate at which the Fountain of Youth was being consumed returned to normal.

While Ning Lu was gathering his thoughts, he also noticed that the Fountain of Youth had dried up.

He didn't feel regretful. Exhausting a fountain of youth to gain the resurrection ability granted by the "Land of Chaos" ahead of time was far more valuable than the cost.

The Fountain of Youth rapidly dissipated amidst a dazzling light, finally bursting into a blinding flash before vanishing.

As the Primarch rose, he clearly felt that the life force he had lost when facing King Hrud was rapidly replenished.

Time has no meaning for me anymore.

Once you obtain Peturabo's improved stasis device, you can travel to the Sak Trada Abyss again.

Locate any possible fragments of the Birac relic and bring the entire remote but resource-rich Abyss under your control.
The Primarch's eyes flashed, and with a burst of telekinesis, the armor that Vokhan had crafted for him flew in, enveloping his increasingly lustrous marble body.

……

The following day, in the original body's office, Ning Lu listened to reports from everyone.

After Alcena Dunn reported on the general situation of each planet, the think tank director Thomas then spoke.

“My Lord, the think tank has discovered psionic crystal veins on various planets, which should be used to build special structures for the Eldar.”

"The organic structures on each planet are also built using crystals."

He gestured to Ethan, the Unyielding Psionicist behind him, and Nimrod saw a dazzling spiritual light emanating from the open box.

"Various lunar metals have also been found on some islands of Planet Three, which cultists use to make weapons."

Ning Lu nodded slightly. The metals, gems, and blood of extraordinary creatures representing different lunar states required for the "Potion Professor" to advance to Sequence 5 have all been collected.

If the ritual is performed in a star system with a moon, under the light of a full moon, Mikel can be promoted to "Crimson Scholar".

“Mining psionic crystals and moon metal.”

The next day, Nimrod arrived at the third level of the "Land of Chaos" and picked up the fully charged prophecy die.
