Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Three days later.

Star Shield City, City Lord's Mansion Conference Room.

Two figures sat upright on either side of the conference table.

On the left is Leonard, the Supreme Commander of the Star Shield Army and the strongest man in the Empire. On the right is Elendina, the City Lord of Star Shield City and daughter of the God Emperor.

Directly in front of the two, three holographic figures projected by a high-precision matrix were shimmering with a faint blue light.

It was the other three giants of the Imperial High Council—Pope Clement of the State Church, Chief Technician Otto, and Judge Alexander.

Judge Alexander crossed his arms and scanned the crowd:

"Everyone, do I need to repeat how rampant those rats in the sewers of the Mechanical Engineering Cult have become these past few days?!"

"Cult members are blatantly distributing leaflets everywhere, spreading the bullshit doctrine of 'the suffering of flesh and blood, and the ascension of machines'! They are luring foolish civilians into joining their cult!"

"My inquisition has been working non-stop for the past three days. The ashes on the stakes are piled up three feet high, and tens of thousands of cultists have been executed! But it's no use! Those brainwashed lunatics aren't afraid of death at all! They were even praising the Mechanicus while they were still in the fire!"

At this point, Alexander's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

A few days ago, when the rumor that "the God Emperor has fallen into a tentacle monster" was just beginning to emerge, he proposed swift and decisive measures, preferring to kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free, and treated all the civilians who spread the rumors and wavered as heretics.

However, this suggestion was suppressed by the others present.

Alexander said in a deep voice, "Your silence makes the people of the empire at the bottom of society think that the government is guilty! They are now really starting to believe that those damned rumors are true!"

"What are you all thinking? Are you just going to sit here silently and watch the empire fall apart?!"

"Calm down, Alexander," Pope Clement's aged voice slowly rang out.

"Unless His Majesty the Divine Emperor personally issues a divine decree in response, no matter how many people you kill or how violently you suppress them, it will be useless. Bloodshed will only breed more doubt and lead to a more violent backlash."

"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Alexander glared at him. "Give us an explanation! Are we just going to let the Mechanicus hollow out the very foundation of the empire?"

Chief Technician Otto nodded: "The problem can't be solved with swords, but we do need to give the people of the Empire a reasonable explanation as soon as possible. We must come up with a solution today."

Leonard silently wiped his sword without saying a word.

Elena, who had been silent all along, finally slowly raised her head.

"Things have come to this point, so I won't hide it from everyone anymore."

"From what I've received... what the Cult of Mechanics said in the leaflets is true."

hiss......

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, staring at Elendina in disbelief.

If Elendina weren't not the daughter of the God Emperor and had a special identity, everyone would have suspected her of being a heretic.

"No...impossible!" Alexander was the first to react, his voice trembling as he said, "His Majesty the God-Emperor is the greatest being on Torres! He is an omnipotent god! How...how could He..."

The blasphemous words "degenerated into a monster" stuck in Alexander's throat, and he couldn't utter them.

Elena gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with sorrow: "I have no way of knowing the specific reason."

Pope Clement took several deep breaths, his withered hands gripping his scepter tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness Elena... how did you become so certain about His Majesty the Divine Emperor's current condition?"

Elena said slowly:

"Just today, a memory suddenly came back to me."

"That's a memory that my father sealed deep in my mind twenty-two years ago. This memory will only be automatically activated under specific circumstances, or rather... when the worst-case scenario He foresaw occurs."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath.

"Your Majesty the Divine Emperor... foresaw today's situation?" Leonard suddenly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his deep blue eyes.

"Yes!" Elena nodded. "With Father's great wisdom, how could He not have a solution! In the sealed memories, He not only told me the truth, but also left behind a reversal method called the 'Purification Ritual'!"

"By initiating this ritual, we can help Father temporarily suppress the pollution within his body and restore his sanity!"

"A purification ritual?!"

Everyone grasped the key words.

If the God-Emperor could return, even for just a few minutes! The Mechanicus's conspiracy, and even the Mechanoid Eldar's fleet, would be reduced to ashes under the God-Emperor's wrath!

Alexander eagerly pressed, "What exactly is required for this purification ritual?"

"Please allow me to keep the specific ritual formation a secret for now," Elena said, changing the subject. "But I need two things now. First, 2000 absolutely devout believers with flawless faith in the God-Emperor; second, the God-Emperor's Sword!"

"Finding 2000 believers is easy." Alexander frowned. "But the Sword of the God-Emperor? That supreme artifact, hasn't it always been with His Majesty the God-Emperor?"

No, not at all.

Elena slowly said, "Before my father fell into his slumber, he hid the Emperor's Sword in a top-secret location on the planet Torres. I already have the coordinates; I will send the Imperial Guards to find it!"

At this point, she turned her gaze to the Pope projected on the screen:

"Lord Clement, the task of selecting 2000 devout believers is entrusted to you. You must rigorously screen them from churches in major cities! Remember, this concerns the survival of the empire; not a single word can be leaked!"

Clement bowed solemnly, placing his hand on his chest. "Your Highness, rest assured. However... once the person is chosen, where should they be sent?"

"Send them to the city lord's mansion in batches by secret. I want to interrogate them personally to ensure that there are no false believers of the Mechanicus mixed in!" Elena answered without hesitation.

Chief Technician Otto pondered for a moment, then rationally asked, "Elendinah, if the ritual succeeds, how long will His Majesty the God-Emperor be able to regain his sanity?"

Elena frankly replied, "I don't know either, but with my father's extraordinary wisdom, since He left this as a backup plan, He must have already arranged a way to break this deadlock!"

Alexander's eyes burned with fervor: "If the ceremony succeeds, will we... be able to have an audience with His Majesty the Divine Emperor?"
