Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

While a bloody battle raged on the city walls and outside the city, the high-ranking officials and nobles inside the city trembled in fear.

They saw the red demons outside the window, and also the two towering Khorne monsters.

Many more civilians, upon seeing those demons, were filled with fear and prayed incessantly to the God-Emperor for protection.

In normal times, these mortals who see the demonic entities of the warp would receive corrupted knowledge from the warp. To prevent secondary infection from this corrupted knowledge, the Inquisition would mercilessly exterminate them all!

But at this moment, even the Imperial Court of Justice is unable to spare enough manpower to do this.

This incident will be a major headache for the court.

Speaking of the courtroom, their philosophy differs from Ye Ming's.

Ye Ming was unwilling to kill people for something that hadn't even happened yet. He was willing to believe in the will of humanity. With enough guidance and monitoring, humanity would surely overcome the influence from the subspace on its own!

After all, witnessing a demon is not a serious form of corruption.

For the court, eliminating these people physically is not only simple, but also requires minimal resources.

The primary goal of the court is to resolve corruption crises efficiently, quickly, and proactively.

However, if the high lords and various departments hadn't been indifferent to the lives of ordinary people, how could they have become so corrupt and degenerate so quickly, becoming victims of the evil god's followers?

……

Guilliman emerged from the laboratory and returned to the Golden Throne.

He looked at the figure with mixed emotions of sadness, and there it was, still sitting there, a desiccated corpse wrapped in life support equipment. It was definitely no longer the father he remembered.

During their previous conversation, he had heard countless voices calling out to Guilliman by countless names.

"Son", "Primarch Thirteen", "Lord of the Ultramarines", "The Last Hope's Advisor", "A Sharp Sword", "A Useful Tool"...

Countless different voices rang in his ears, and Guilliman understood then that the Emperor had never loved the Primarch!

However, in those voices that seemed to echo yet never appeared, Robert Guilliman obtained knowledge and truths as ancient, complex, and eternal as the stars.

Looking at it again now, he can still see countless faces and hear countless voices, as if many people are sitting on that golden throne.

That might be a person's behavior in different situations, or it might be the emperor's already shattered personality, a product of thousands of years of pain, regret, sorrow, and other complex emotions...

Guilliman could clearly sense that the Emperor's power was now greater than before; he had become something beyond human, complex, mysterious, and strange!

Humanity's faith and worship over the past ten thousand years have distorted and deformed the existence of emperors, gradually deifying them.

In the subspace, this manifests as an expanding, colossal shadow, while the once eternally burning golden sun is now gradually extinguishing...

The emperor could rise to power at any moment, becoming the very thing he least wanted to be...

It was at this moment that Guilliman realized—the Emperor did not love the Primarch, but he deeply loved humanity!

He could have risen from that shattered golden throne long ago, but in order to suppress the net behind the golden throne and the power of the four Chaos Gods from the warp, he preferred to let his body decay rather than rise from there and leave.

He is the one who has made the most sacrifices for humanity!

"Father, tell me, is he really your hope?" Killieman asked.

In an instant, the originally complex and chaotic sounds and faces began to influence and merge with each other, eventually unifying into a single face with great difficulty.

—A middle-aged man with a tired face.

That unified, weary voice said to Guilliman, "As you can see, Guilliman."

"Guilliman, you are my pride, my greatest victory, my last loyal offspring, my last instrument..."

"But as you asked me, hope remains..."

"His arrival has brought about even greater changes, and I need you to assist him, care for him, and help him..."

"The Primarch and Astartes are both extraordinary; they don't love humans and look down on them, but he, who came from true humanity, would not..."

"Look at the ideas he brings. Perhaps we have another option. It may fail, it may bring even greater disaster, but... it's worth a try."

The emperor's voice fell silent once more.

Hearing the Emperor acknowledge Guilliman himself filled him with even more sorrow, but that did not matter, because his adoptive father, his real father, had already passed on his spirit to Guilliman!

Guilliman loves humanity too, and he will not abandon them!

He slowly knelt down to pay his respects to the emperor, then resolutely turned and walked out of the temple.

He had already made up his mind. He wanted to implement and carry out the new ideas that Ye Ming had brought. The current chaos was a disaster, but it was also an opportunity!

He may not have that much time to carry it out, but Ye Ming can do it for him.

"Father, I am not your last loyal son. I still have brothers alive and fighting alongside me!"

Guilliman walked out of the palace, but did not see the soldiers of the expeditionary force. Instead, he learned from the guards that the Great Demon Khorne had descended.

"Form another small team, follow me."

The Primarch gave the order in an unyielding tone. The surrounding Guards looked at the now-closed gates, then silently selected a team of thirty men to follow the Primarch out of the palace.

Prior to this, including the army led by Marshal Trajan, they had already dispatched three thousand guards!

This was the first large-scale deployment of the Imperial Guard since the Cyber ​​War.

Not to mention, they are also to some extent subordinate to the Primarch...

It should be understood that, in the eyes of the Guardians, the reason why the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne and became what he is now was caused by those emotionless Primarchs.

Like the superhuman Astartes, they are war machines and cannot be trusted.

But this time was different; they chose to temporarily trust Guilliman because of the Primarch, the child they had watched grow up together!

Guilliman strode forward, silently walking out, and then led the Imperial Guard into the battlefield.

The moment he appeared, the chaotic battlefield gradually returned to order, and the Ultramarines were regrouped and began to follow Guilliman in suppressing the demons on the walls.

He fought his way to Ye Ming's side, gently patted Ye Ming's shoulder, and whispered, "The Emperor deeply loves humanity, and his thoughts are the same as yours."

Ye Ming's powerful body was recovering. He spat out the blood clot stuck in his throat and responded hoarsely:

"Just as I expected, sir."

"Yes, we have a lot to do next."

Guilliman nodded, then brandished the Emperor's Blade and charged at the Great Demon with unparalleled power.

He and Trajan worked together to drive out the other three major demons, while the Ultramarines, Grey Knights, Imperial Fists, and Inquisitors on the walls, along with the Astral Army, drove out the remaining two major demons.

The battle is over.

The battle, which was difficult even for the Imperial Guard, was quickly ended after Guilliman appeared.

With Ye Ming's help, the Imperial Guard's casualties were greatly reduced. About a thousand soldiers were injured, and many of them were missing limbs. They were able to continue fighting after being fitted with prosthetics.

Only a small number were loaded into the Imperial Guard Dreadnoughts, and there were no instances of Imperial Guard Dreadnoughts dying due to insufficient mechs.

After the battle ended, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then fainted again.

After the battle, Guilliman led Ye Ming towards the palace without saying a word, and then entered the gates of the Golden Throne again.

Trajan, Sicarius, Vodors, Celestine, and others were then ordered to temporarily take charge of postwar affairs while awaiting the conclusion of the Primarch's and the Emperor's conversation.

Ye Ming, who had been unconscious, woke up once again in the shared space...
