This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 320 The Emperor is Heartbroken

"That would be a terrible situation."

The emperor spoke through a speaker.
His body still lay on the golden throne, but his consciousness could see the data analysis charts created by Xiling.

The Time Cataclysm is a catastrophe in all aspects, a heavy blow to both the warp and the laws of reality.

If the cataclysmic event of time cannot be stopped, civilization throughout the galaxy will regress to the Industrial Age.
That is, an era in which spacecraft could be launched into space, but there was no way to colonize other planets.

Because the distance is too far, and there is no means to travel faster than the speed of light.

"The entire galaxy will collapse."

Qin Yun stroked his chin, looked at the projection in front of him, and asked Xi Ling.

"Is there any way to cause the warp to collapse first?"

The human empire and the warp are now locked in a stalemate.

The chaotic gods, using their authority, performed all sorts of inconceivable feats, doing things that mortals could not.

The Empire certainly cannot compromise either.
We'll have to use all sorts of time-based weapons, causality-based weapons, and even stellar-destroying weapons.

War is a contest of who is less afraid of death and who can endure longer.

Victory is simply outlasting your opponent.

It was already destined that the two sides would reduce the galaxy to ruins.

Neither side will back down; only when one side is completely defeated can this war be truly ended.

You made the Chaos Gods abandon their persecution of humanity and stay obediently in the Warp.

No longer devouring human souls.
They definitely wouldn't want to.

The human empire, on the other hand, has no way to back down.

Giving in means plunging yourself back into the quagmire of an endless war.

It left countless citizens of the empire living in despair and suffering, never able to find relief.

In that case, it would be better to just destroy the universe and let everyone die together.

"Yes." Xiling nodded.

“We had already started the construction of the Ether Engine before.”

"The Aether Engine can draw energy from the subspace and convert it into dimensional energy for human ascension."

"If we give up ascension and use this energy to maintain the real universe and protect the human soul, it is possible."

"At that time, humans will only need to replenish their soul energy once every once in a while to ensure their survival."

"If the energy of subspace is condensed into crystals and used in weapons, it can ensure that various cutting-edge technologies can continue to be used."

"Although this method is very troublesome, humans can still survive."

"But once the Ether Engine is activated, the Chaos Gods will surely launch an all-out attack on humanity, and the final battle will come sooner than expected."

Upon hearing Xiling's words, Qin Yun frowned, looked at the projection in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, Qin Yun spoke again, "Organize the relevant information and inform the Primarchs so they can prepare."

“Yes, Master.” Xiling nodded.

"Wouldn't that be too dangerous?" the Void Dragon said. "I haven't even recovered my full strength yet, and we're already going to start a full-scale war?"

"If things go wrong, the entire galaxy could collapse." Even the Night Bearer showed a worried expression.

He realized that the saint was utterly insane.
They really want to smash the Milky Way to pieces.

"There's no other way. This battle is going to have to be fought eventually, so we might as well take the initiative to start it."

Qin Yun also wanted to slow down and wait until all the players had reached the demigod level.

Many of them have already fused with fragments of the laws.
As time goes by, they will gradually grow into demigods with authority.

But now the situation has changed. Who could have imagined that both sides' misuse of causality and time would lead to a time-related catastrophe?
Instead of passively responding, it's better to take the initiative and seize control.

"That's settled then. Go back and make your own preparations."

"This battle will determine reality and the subspace, and who will gain dominance over the galaxy."

Qin Yun spoke calmly, looking at everyone.

At this point, he had already integrated most of the forces in the galaxy.

The space dwarves, the Eldar, the Fearless, and the Star Gods were all together.

Qin Yun did not make contact with the Titanium Clan.

This race has some merits, but they are not yet qualified to participate in a war of this magnitude.

Unlike most Empire players who dislike the Tau, Qin Yun has always maintained a neutral stance towards the Tau.

He even accepted the Star Gods and the Deathbringers, allowing them to become vassal races of the Empire.

Naturally, they wouldn't target a young race that hadn't seen the truth and thought they could change the galaxy.

As long as the Tau don't cause trouble, he won't even bother with them.

After seeing everyone off, Qin Yun remained alone in the throne room.
The final battle with the gods is about to begin.
He had some questions he wanted to ask Old Man Huang, and he couldn't let this guy fool him anymore.

"You orchestrated my journey to this universe, didn't you?"

"Perhaps we can leave this matter for after the war," the Emperor said, trying to change the subject.

"I think it's better to tell you now; it'll be good for both of us." Qin Yun persisted in asking.

Seeing Qin Yun's persistence and insistence on getting to the bottom of things, the emperor had no choice but to patiently explain the whole story.

"Actually, it wasn't me who initiated it. Rather, it was you who responded to the call of the beings in this universe and came here in the form of a higher-dimensional being. Our souls merged, forming a trinity. You created a channel that allows higher-dimensional life forms to continuously enter this universe."

"I used you as an anchor point to influence the higher-dimensional universe, allowing higher-dimensional beings to enter this universe in the form of players. Sending you into the Imperial Glory was my idea."

"Couldn't you have gone to a better place?" Qin Yun frowned, remembering how he had been killed by mutants at the very beginning of the game. "Do you know how painful it is to be torn apart?"

"You know I was a bit confused back then," the Emperor said in a low voice. "Honestly, I never expected that as a higher-dimensional being, your initial strength would be so weak."

"I thought you could at least fight your way out, but before I could even bless you, you died!!"

Qin Yun: "…………"

Is it my fault that I lack emotional intelligence?

"You deserved to be stabbed in the back by Or."

Emperor: "…………"

A burst of noise came through the intercom. "Where are GW's people? Where did you take them?" Qin Yun asked.

"To prevent them from using their higher-dimensional powers to influence the real universe, I sent them all to mining worlds to mine," the Emperor said. "After mining for so long, they've become quite well-behaved."

"You're quite the character," Qin Yun said, speechless. "When do you plan to let them go back?"

"Wait until the final battle is over. Because of your existence, this galaxy is undergoing dimensional ascension, and soon they will no longer be able to influence the fate of this universe."

"Then let's send them back after the final battle." Qin Yun nodded. "What will happen after the final battle? Will those players be able to descend again?"

"Of course! As long as you and I don't perish, this passage will remain open until the universe ends. I'm also counting on them to help me fight the enemies beyond the galaxy."

"An enemy from beyond the Milky Way? Those ancient gods from beyond the realms that the ancient sages once mentioned?" Qin Yun asked in a low voice.

"Yes, when the faith of all mankind was bestowed upon me, I also gained extraordinary power and vision. Before, I only saw the chaotic gods, but later I realized that they were nothing more than out-of-control weapons."

The Emperor's voice was calm, "The ancient sages sorted out the subspace and created the eight-pointed star, intending to use it to forge nine chaotic gods and gather the power of the entire galaxy to fight against those ancient gods from beyond the realm."

"But before they could succeed, the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star went out of control, and the Chaos Gods, who were supposed to protect the galaxy, became the greatest enemy of the many races in the galaxy."

"The ancient gods from beyond the realm haven't even invaded yet, but they've already wreaked havoc on the Milky Way. If we starve the Chaos Gods and reshape the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star, we'll have enough resources to fight against the ancient gods from beyond the realm."

"With the help of players who possess high-dimensional power, we will definitely be able to sweep away those ancient gods. Then, humanity will be able to break out of the galaxy and venture into the universe."

"(⊙o⊙)..." Qin Yun interrupted the Emperor, "Why don't we first consider how to win this final battle in the galaxy?"

“Of course, I’m prepared,” the Emperor said. “In a head-on confrontation, we definitely can’t beat those four guys, but as long as we hold onto the Aether Engine and drain the warp, they will become incredibly weak once the Cataclysm of Time breaks out.”

"By then, we will be able to easily defeat them."

"It seems you were prepared all along." Qin Yun looked surprised.

"Nonsense, I can't wait to cripple those guys. They hurt me so badly, I can't just let it go like this." The Emperor's tone was full of eagerness. Clearly, he had been looking forward to the final battle for a long time and couldn't wait to take revenge.

This surprised Qin Yun. "Aren't you going to completely destroy them?"

"The Chaos Gods are closely bound to the Octagon. To destroy them, we must first destroy the Octagon. And the Octagon is related to the survival of the Milky Way. Once it is shattered, the ancient gods from beyond the realm will immediately invade, and we will be crushed by them in an instant."

"Therefore, we can only suppress and reshape them continuously; it is impossible to truly eliminate them."

"It's not difficult to do this as long as we can obtain the knowledge in the Black Library and the relics left by the ancient saints."

"…………"

Qin Yun talked with the Emperor for a long time, and all the confusion that had been bothering him was resolved.

At the same time, the two also discussed the issue of the Primarch.

“Perhaps it’s time to let them see you,” Qin Yun said. “I haven’t told them about collecting human essence to resurrect you. I was worried about encountering some problems, but now that you have been successfully resurrected, it’s time to tell them.”

"It's certainly time for a meeting. Oh, and bring Koz back." The Emperor's voice was noticeably lower when he spoke of his offspring.

He treated his twenty sons as tools, which led to a complete break between him and Ilda, and ultimately resulted in the betrayal of nine Primarchs.

The Emperor had also wondered if the other Primarchs would not have betrayed him if all twenty of his sons were by his side.

But then I thought, if I had raised them myself, it might not have been nine, but twenty.

Alpha was never sent out of Terra; he and Makado raised him, only to be tricked and betrayed by the cult.

Horus was the one I spent the most time with, and I devoted all the energy that I used to spend with the twenty Primarchs to him alone.

As a result, this guy led the betrayal.

The very act of Ilda throwing the Primarchs out was precisely why they did not completely rebel.

Dorn has a loving grandfather who keeps the blanket his grandfather gave him. When he's sad, he covers himself with the blanket and goes to sleep, and then he's full of energy again the next day.

Ryan was guided by the Knights of Caliban and became a knight who strictly adhered to the rules.

Ruth was forged into maturity in Fenris and chose to be loyal to humanity.

Chagatai's experience in Chogoris made him keenly aware of the unbearable chaos, thus leading him to choose loyalty to the Empire.

Needless to say, Guilliman had loving adoptive parents.
Even when he was lost, it was his adoptive mother's will that led him out of his predicament.

Angron is a tragedy, but was it really Erda who caused this tragedy?

The emperor reflected on the many things he had done.
Many things are done too radically, arrogantly, and overbearingly.

They always think they are absolutely right and can't stand criticism or advice from others.

This resulted in the betrayal between the parents and children.

Many people sacrificed themselves for his plan.
Those who were once considered his traitors ultimately died trying to redeem him.

"Xiling, activate the communication links between the Primarchs." After saying this, Qin Yun left the throne room, giving the space to the reunited father and son.

"Sage, are you truly planning to initiate the Ether Engine project?" Guilliman's projection appeared first.
He had received a message from Xiling, learning about the Time Calamity and Qin Yun's plan.

“I still think it’s too reckless,” Ryan said. “We should play it safe.”

"You should really see what Motarrian looked like before he was banished," Chagatai said, in a good mood.
He beat Motalian so badly he made him question his existence.

That guy is probably crying his eyes out in that fat bastard Nagle's arms right now.

I was really annoyed with this guy during the Terra Wars, and now he dares to show up again. I'll beat him to a pulp.

"Brothers, let's be quiet for a while and listen to what the Sage has to say." Saint Gilles' voice was as gentle as ever. "After we finish discussing serious matters, I'll share a few funny stories with you. You'll never guess how peculiar the thought processes of those Spirit Race members are."

“I really want to maintain respect for them, but I just can’t help it, you know…”

"Where is the Sage?" Corax looked around but did not see Qin Yun.

Emperor: "…………"

So all you see is the Imperial Saint?

Is there no father like me left?

This is the throne room, after all; at least let's see the old father on the throne first.

"It was not he who summoned you, but I."

The emperor spoke through a speech apparatus.

The Primarchs stared wide-eyed, and after they confirmed it was true,
They looked at each other, their attitudes becoming reserved and their voices serious.

It was nothing like the relaxed and humorous conversation he had with Qin Yun.

This made the emperor even more heartbroken.

How can you still discriminate against people?!

P.S.: There probably isn't much more content left. After filling in the gaps from the Primarchy arc, we'll start the war.
