Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 268 Finding it yourself is never as convenient as asking for it directly.

Gao Yi closed his eyes and began to examine the system.

[Complete Control of a Habitable Planet (9/10)]

"This habitable planet is really difficult to manage... Humanity's adaptability to the planet is starting to be too low."

The system's criteria for habitability were stricter than Gao Yi had imagined. Even planets in the Warhammer universe that weren't heavily polluted and could be considered high-quality didn't meet the system's requirements.

Only the heavenly worlds in those Warhammer games can meet the standard.

However, finding a planet in the Warhammer world that can be called paradise is not an easy task.

An ecosystem must meet human physiological needs and cannot contain any high-value resources.

Otherwise, any valuable planet discovered by the Empire would be developed as much as possible, and resources would be abandoned in order to protect the ecosystem.
Impossible. It's better to extract more resources to manufacture weapons and equipment than to keep this thing. Living a good life is always a priority below survival.

Gao Yi's efforts to terraform planets have never stopped, but even with all-out efforts to restore the ecosystem, only two or three habitable planets have been achieved through terraforming.

Most of the remaining habitable planets were discovered by Gao Yi in undeveloped star systems using that star map and the warp drive.

But even so, they were still one short.

Opening his eyes and temporarily exiting the system, Gao Yi pondered how to collect the last planet. He then looked at Guilliman beside him.

Suddenly an idea came to me
"Developing or searching for something yourself is nowhere near as convenient as getting something ready-made!"

Feeling Gao Yi's burning gaze, Guilliman felt uneasy; why did that look seem so malicious?

At this time, Guilliman Feralus was already on his way to Terra with Gao Yi.

From the moment Trajan met Gao Yi, he couldn't wait for Gao Yi and Guilliman to go to Terra.

Ferrus's return was also a pleasant surprise for Trajan.

The news of Feralas's resurgence immediately reached Medusa, the homeworld of the Iron Hand. The Iron Hand, who had just won a massive tank battle against Chaos, could hardly believe the news.

They knew better than anyone else about their Primarch's death. Although they firmly believed that their Primarch would return one day, they never expected it to be in this way.

While Gao Yi and his group were heading to Terra, the Steel Hand was also mobilizing almost all of its available resources to travel to Terra as well.

Felus was also somewhat uneasy, after all, his current way of being was too special.

The key reason why Ultramarines can continuously produce troops is that Guilliman is still alive, allowing them to acquire large quantities of gene seeds.

As for Feralas's current state... he can't extract any gene seeds.

Upon learning that Guilliman Feralus was about to return to Terra, the entire continent was preparing for the celebrations of the Emperor's offspring. For the ordinary people of the Empire, this was undoubtedly great news, but for some, it was not.

Furthermore, the appearance of the Zerg and Protoss made the Empire fully aware of their existence through reports from the Kadia soldiers.

This caused a huge uproar among those in the know, and even though both helped Cardia win the war, they were still questioned by the court.

The stronger they appeared, the more fear and worry the empire felt.

Those who are not of our race will surely have different hearts.

Out of their duty, the court must find out the origin of these aliens.

Furthermore, DOOM, this mysterious warrior, has been labeled as extremely dangerous in the Inquisition.

The addition of another Primarch has further increased the pressure on the High Lords.
They seemed to already feel the power in their hands slipping away from them.

Upon learning of this news, some high lords in the Highlord Council began to seize the opportunity to make their final stand.

It is virtually impossible to get a human empire with an extremely xenophobic ideology to immediately accept the existence of aliens.

The emergence of the Zerg and Protoss seemed to give the High Lords hope of continuing to hold power.

The Primarch's battle with these aliens made them feel that they had some leverage to attack the Primarch.

They could neither punish Guilliman nor Firus, but with no other opportunity, they tried to get Guilliman to make some concessions to them under the law of the Empire.

Gao Yi's emergence also drew the attention of the high lords to the expansion of their territories. These territories were originally outside the imperial tax system, but now that they learned of Gao Yi's large-scale production of combat suits and various war equipment, they too took notice of the expansion's existence.

They have even begun to order the Ministry of the Interior to investigate the expansion of the territory and prepare to implement the same tithe tax policy on the expanded territory.

They even hoped that Gao Yi would hand over this technology, and they did not hide anything from Gao Yi about what he had done in Cardia.

The High Lords even hoped that Gao Yi would hand over this technology to the Empire, especially the Mechanical Order from Mars, whose desire for it was stronger than anyone else's.

The fact that Gao Yi was able to control these aliens led the High Lords to order him to undergo an investigation by the Empire.

However, Gao Yi did not intend to pay attention to the High Lord's demands. There was no question of handing over technology, and as for taxes, Guilliman and Felus had already promised to help him resolve that issue. After taking over the power, they gave Gao Yi a new identity.

And it exempts some of its planets from taxes.

However, Guilliman also hoped that Gao Yi could provide the Empire with some weapons and equipment at a low price or free of charge.

For safety reasons, Trajan never revealed to the High Lords that Gao Yi was appointed by the Emperor. With the Emperor's endorsement, the existence of the Xenomorph could become reasonable even if it seemed illogical.

If all else fails, tell these high lords through the Primarch and the Imperial Guard that these are biological weapons modified by the Emperor using genetic technology.

Regardless, Gao Yi and Guilliman must travel to Terra, the center of power and faith for the entire human empire, from which many decisions must be made.

Guilliman needs to return to Terra to regain power, and he also wants to hear from his father what Gao Yi's existence really is.

"Lord Gao Yi, could you please stop looking at me like that? If you have any needs, you can just tell me directly."

“Heh heh, Guilliman, I do have a request.”

"Lord Gao Yi, just say it. If I can do it, I won't refuse. After all, you resurrected me and even saved the empire. Everyone has witnessed your contributions."

"Does a paradise exist in Alteramar? If so, I can even offer enough resources in exchange."

"Paradise World?"

"That's right, I don't need any other industrial facilities or other value on it! I just need its ecological environment to be good enough for human survival. I don't even need management rights; all personnel can remain the same as those of you Ultra Warriors."

What I need is to have ownership of this planet transferred to my name.

"What do you need a planet like that for? While these paradise worlds are nice, their real value is very low. However, I do remember that there are such worlds in Otraman. These worlds are usually used to reward meritorious soldiers for a vacation and rest."

"Just think of it as me finding a place for my soldiers to take a vacation within the Empire!"

Although Guilliman didn't quite understand Gao Yi's request, he still chose to agree.

"You don't need to pay any price... Your contributions to the Empire don't need to be repaid. You can wait until I return to Terra and finish what I'm doing, then have someone change all the permissions for this planet, so you can send someone to take over it."

"No, I'm in a real hurry. We should be able to do it through Star Language, right? Send a Star Language message to Macurag now and get it done!"

"Alright. Although I don't understand your intention, I'll have someone send a message in Star Language right now, and it will be resolved quickly."

Ultramar is not subject to the control of the Terra government. Although the internal government system of the Ultramarines is also very complex, since the Primarch has spoken, everything is given the green light.

In just a few hours, Guilliman had taken care of Gao Yi's problem.

Listening to the starry language sent back.

"This planet now belongs to you, Lord Gao Yi!"

Upon hearing Guilliman's reply, Gao Yi quickly opened the system.

As expected, the requirements for the last planet were also met.

[Habitable Planet (10/10)]

[Requirements met]
