Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 76 Divination and Spiritual Communication
The initial exploration of the Tomb of the Dead went smoothly. Olivia and Tonya even established a small base of operations to house the various equipment and supplies they brought down.

However, due to Chen Xi's warning, they could not act too recklessly, which resulted in a slight delay in their research on the Tomb of the Undead and almost no results were achieved.

This was within Chen Xi's expectations. After all, even Belisarius Cawl himself could not fully understand the necromancy technology.

Even during the Battle of Cadia, the King of Figures had to provide personal guidance in order to operate the Black Stone Array on Cadia and try to reverse the polarity of the subspace to close the Eye of Terror.

It's just a pity that due to the influence of GW's financial report, Abaddon's first twelve Black Crusades had completely destroyed the Black Stone Array left by the Necrons.

Even with Trazyn's personal guidance, Cawl failed to save Cadia, which eventually led to the opening of the Great Rift.

This is certainly good news for the Hammersmiths. After all, the opening of the Great Rift means that the once sacred and inviolable timeline has finally begun to flow and is no longer eternally fixed in 999.M41.

At the same time, the entire human empire also opened up a new situation. The return of Regent Guilliman and Lion King, the increased administrative efficiency of the empire after the loss of the dark side of the empire, the frequent appearances of the old emperor, and so on...

It can be said that the entire galaxy is changing rapidly with the opening of the Great Rift.

Compared to the stagnant state of the empire over the past ten thousand years, such changes have brought new hope to the empire.

So even if it was possible, Chen Xi didn't want to stop the opening of the Great Rift, even though it would bring great trauma to the entire galaxy.

Not to mention, with Chen Xi's current small physique and strength, if he were thrown into an apocalyptic meat grinder like the Battle of Cadia, he wouldn't even make a sound.

"Chen Xi, this tomb seems to be fine!" Guterres was whispering to Chen Xi on the communication channel of the power armor: "We have been here for so long, why haven't we seen any troops from the Undead Dynasty?"

Although he was a master of casting, their base was surrounded by technological archaeological technicians of the Mechanicus at this time, and the two sages were busy collecting various data.

On the contrary, Chen Xi, Guterres, and the combat nuns they brought with them seemed to have nothing to do.

"They were all asleep. We were careful enough not to wake them up." Chen Xi did not let down his guard in the face of the current situation.

"By the way, was it so quiet in here the last time you came in?" Guterres asked curiously.

"Not really. The last time I came here, I encountered scarabs and underworld spiders almost as soon as I entered the door, and then the fight started." Recalling the last experience, Chen Xi was a little helpless. If he had not been so unlucky to encounter underworld spiders and scarabs as soon as he went out, perhaps he could have explored more places.

Hearing Chen Xi say this, Guterres showed a strange expression. He asked doubtfully, "Then why haven't we encountered any underworld constructs? Not even a scarab."

Chen Xi was also confused about this question, and this was exactly why he had always been vigilant.

This tomb world is too quiet, so quiet that it seems as if it is completely dead.

But Chen Xi knew clearly that this tomb was not dead. The last time he came here, he saw that part of the tomb's defense system had been awakened.

So ever since he entered here, he has always had a sense of crisis like a thorn in his back.

Guterres' question at this time made him feel even more uneasy. He thought for a while and said to Guterres: "Please keep an eye on it for me. I plan to use my psychic power to predict something." As he said that, he began to guide his own psychic power, trying to peek into the trajectory of fate.

Seeing this, Guterres stopped what he was doing, came to his side, and supported him with the forging axe.

Channeling and using psionic powers is not a comfortable thing.

Perhaps some guys who cannot control their desires can indulge in it, but the first thing that legal psychics of the Empire who have received systematic training learn is to restrain their power and not indulge in it.

Psychic power is essentially the power that comes from the soul.

When a person's soul is strong enough, he will have a greater chance of connecting with the Sea of ​​Souls. Some people with outstanding talents will be born with the ability to guide power from the Sea of ​​Souls to the physical universe.

Of course, some people may not have outstanding talents, but due to some unexpected stimulation, their psychic talents are awakened, and they can also do the same thing.

As for whether this unexpected stimulation is the result of the psychic's own mature talent or the use of drugs, it doesn't matter.

After all, with the current technology of the Empire, even Ogryn can awaken his psychic powers, so what else can't be done?
But no matter what, using psychic power is still something that requires great caution, because it requires the psychic to open his soul to the warp and use his soul as a channel to guide energy from the warp.

Untrained psykers often expose their souls unprotected to the warp at this stage, thus attracting the attention of demons or other warp beings.

This is not the case with trained psykers, who learn how to conceal their brilliance in the Warp and protect their souls.

Although Chen Xi is not a psychic, how to use psychic power is written in the memory of the chess piece he controls. He only needs to call up this memory to use psychic power without any hindrance.

From the outside, Chen Xi, who was channeling and using psychic energy, had purple energy flowing out of his eyes and lingering around his head.

As for Chen Xi himself, he simply felt his soul being pulled out of his body and then projected into a deep purple void.

He felt as if he was lying in a flowing river, and that he could guide and control the flow of the river with just a thought.

As Chen Xi's mind moved, a piece of information or some pictures flashed before his eyes, letting him know what he wanted to know.

This feeling of being omniscient is somewhat fascinating, but the knowledge in Chen Xi's mind reminds him that he must not indulge in it.

Chen Xi restrained his emotions, tried his best to retract his thoughts, and controlled his consciousness and soul to "return" to his body.

With a dizzy feeling, Chen Xi finally woke up. But the first thing he did after waking up was to shout, "Everyone, get into combat!"
