Warhammer begins in 2026

Colchis, a feudal religious planet mired in ignorance and fanaticism. For millennia, a false divine authority has shackled the people, dogma has run rampant, and sectarian warfare has been incessant. Generations of people have been trapped in the shackles of blind obedience and superstition, and civilization has long stagnated in darkness and ignorance.

Loka Aurelion was born on this land of suffering. After the Primarch's power was awakened, he used his extraordinary courage to quell the wars on all sides, shatter the false god system that had been passed down for thousands of years on the planet, end the sectarian civil war that had lasted for hundreds of years, and single-handedly unify the broken and chaotic Kolchith.

With the war over and the chaos over, the long-suffering people of Kolchis finally welcomed a long-awaited peace. Having lived for so long under the sway of the gods and bound by spiritual shackles, the people could not adapt to a purely secular order, and naturally placed all their gratitude and reverence on Loka, who had saved the planet.

In just a few years, a completely new national faith emerged across the planet. All people revered Loka as a saint, seeing him as the savior of the world. The entire nation was devout, and everyone was pious, maintaining their spiritual world by worshipping the strong and entrusting themselves to divine grace. At that time, Loka was trapped in a predetermined destiny. Seeing the people's allegiance, a growing sense of fanaticism began to grow within him. He increasingly endorsed the path of "faith binding hearts and the divine saving civilization," and, with a single-minded desire to emulate the holy path and begin worshipping the emperor, he gradually veered towards the edge of extremism.

Just before he was about to solidify his obsession and fall into the tragic turning point of his destiny, the light and shadow in the void descended, and Huang Feng descended alone to the land of Colchis.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no overwhelming aura; it simply stood quietly on the earth, silencing all the fanaticism and delusion that permeated the entire planet.

The moment Loka Aurelion looked up and saw the newcomer, the Primarch, who had pacified the world, ruled over all people, and possessed an unwavering will, froze. He clearly sensed the pure light and righteousness emanating from the other, the true path that transcended all illusion and the darkness of fate.

All self-control, pride, and prejudice in his heart crumbled instantly. Luo Jia trembled slightly, and without hesitation, he knelt down, bowed his head in submission, and felt the purest awe from the bottom of his heart.

Huang Feng looked at Luo Jia kneeling on the ground, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "Get up, and come with me to see this world that you personally liberated."

Loga got up as instructed, his vision broadened considerably, and he followed Huang Feng's footsteps to every inch of Kolchis. For the first time, he transcended his own self-perception and saw the hidden dangers behind the people's faith: the people had broken free from the shackles of the old false god, but had fallen into a new round of blind obedience to him personally, still relying on spiritual sustenance and lacking independent cognition, never truly escaping the essence of ignorance.

It was at this moment that Loka's heart wavered for the first time, realizing that his proud redemption had still failed to truly save humanity; it had merely been a different form of mental shackle.

From then on, the Empire officially settled in Kolchis. The entire Seventeenth Legion of Word Bearers returned to their posts and became the foundation of the planet's order; a large number of Imperial civil officials and administrative scholars followed, banning the extreme personality cult, abolishing the strict theocratic dogma, establishing a fair and orderly secular system of livelihood, popularizing true cosmic history and the truths of human civilization, and gradually guiding the people out of their mindset of blind obedience.

Following closely behind were the sages of the Mechanicocracy and the engineering forces, who initiated a comprehensive planetary transformation project. They cleared the ruins and pollution left by a thousand years of war, repaired the dilapidated infrastructure of city-states, established a complete system of energy, clean water, and healthcare for the people, improved barren land, and restored the ecological environment. These tangible constructions and improvements in people's lives allowed the populace to witness firsthand the power of civilizational progress, rather than relying on empty divine grace and miracles.

This was a gradual, subtle transformation. Over the years, the fervent personal beliefs of the people of Colchis were gradually stripped away and dissolved. The populace no longer clung to worshipping saints or indulging in illusions; instead, they began to believe in self-reliance, the power of unity, and the truth of civilized progress. The streets grew increasingly peaceful, people's hearts became more resolute, and the entire planet was finally freed from a millennium-long cycle of ignorance.

Loka witnessed this transformation firsthand and finally understood the true nature of his legion. The soldiers' loyalty was not blind fanaticism, but a genuine yearning for light and a desire to save humanity from its decline. They were sincere and willing to use themselves as a torch to traverse the stars and dispel the darkness.

Having witnessed the planet's rebirth, the awakening of its people, and the enlightenment of its legions, Loka's state of mind underwent a complete transformation. He still held Huang Feng in awe and acknowledged the Emperor in his heart, but he completely abandoned his past worshipful faith in gods, saints, and the strong.

What he sought was no longer a hollow sacred ideal, nor the solitary path to godhood, but the path of salvation that Huang Feng and the Emperor had traversed together—the bright road that dispelled ignorance, swept away darkness, protected all living beings, and led all of human civilization toward a better future. He shed his old prejudices and wholeheartedly wanted to follow in their footsteps, plunge into the starry sea, and redeem the countless fallen human worlds.

Luo Jia fully acknowledged all of Huang Feng's actions. He saw clearly that Huang Feng never relied on illusory miracles, but relied solely on hard work and protection to cut off tragedy, redeem all living beings, and light up the dark starry sea. He finally understood that the true path to sainthood is not a fanatical obsession with divine authority, but rather the responsibility and commitment to liberate people's hearts, dispel illusions, and lead civilization forward.

With his mind at peace and the right path clear, Loka stood on the newly transformed land of Colchis, addressing his entire army, and slowly uttered the timeless maxims of the transformed Word Bearers, the new Golden Word Messengers.

"Humanity has been controlled by ignorance and fanaticism for far too long. For too long, our people have been enslaved by the lies written by those foolish enough to deceive themselves, or selfish enough to be indifferent to the harm they cause. Some might say that these lies bring comfort to humanity, that only through faith in a higher being can human nature be controlled. Perhaps that was true in the past. But it is no longer true!"

"Now we know the truth about the universe. We have unlocked its secrets and mastered its power. We travel among the stars, dreaming of building an eternal empire. This is the greatest struggle in human history, and it is impossible to achieve if we stop ourselves with superstition and ignorance. We must confront the truth of the galaxy and spread light in the darkness."

"Imperial Truth is not a religion. It does not demand blind obedience. It demands conviction! It demands that we trust one another and believe that our cause is just. It demands that we believe in ideals, not idols. My father knew this, and we will bring this truth to everyone in the galaxy."

"This is not an easy task. Many will resist the changes we bring, clinging to the past like children clutching their blankets. Some will be forced into this new era, and we will be the ones driving them in. We will bear the burden of these battles because this is what we must do."

"We are messengers of golden words; the lies of the past will turn to ashes and dust before us!"

Every word resounded powerfully, echoing across the entire field. The hearts and minds of all the soldiers trembled. The blind obedience and fanaticism of the past were completely swept away, leaving only the unwavering belief in upholding the truth, dispelling falsehoods, embodying the Way, and illuminating the starry sky. The Seventeenth Legion completely shed its old malpractices and truly forged a new lineage of golden words.

Huang Feng, who had witnessed all the transformations along the way, was filled with expectation and hope. She hoped that Luo Jia would hold on to his original heart and the right path, abandon prejudice and not fall into delusion, walk the bright and holy path of spreading the word and protecting the world for the rest of his life, completely break free from the tragedy of fate, and become the most steadfast guide for human civilization.

She hopes that this newly formed legion of golden messengers will always uphold pure beliefs, not preach with fanaticism, not bind hearts with power, use golden words to dispel lies, use light to drive away darkness, become an inextinguishable spark in the dark starry sea, travel across the starry sea, and redeem all people.

She further hopes that the reborn Colchis will forever uphold this clarity and order, becoming the birthplace of the Empire's truth and a model of redemption for the fallen galaxy, allowing more human races to break free from the enslavement of ignorance and fanaticism and head towards a bright and eternal future.

Just as this land emerged completely from darkness and the first light began to appear, a sudden and strange change occurred in the world.

The sky over Kolchis suddenly darkened, a thick warp shadow obscuring the stars, and several massive spatial rifts roared, tearing the heavens apart. The auras of the four Chaos factions—Khorne's bloodthirsty rage, Nurgle's decaying plague, Tzeentch's cunning illusions, and Slaanesh's decadent excesses—pouring out simultaneously, enveloping the entire planet.

Countless low-level demons surged out of the rift, ravaging the earth, corroding all things, and assaulting settlements, attempting to drag Kolchis, who had just broken free from the shackles of ignorance, back into the abyss of chaos. Before the demon horde, dozens of towering, ferocious-looking great demons from the four major factions stood suspended in mid-air, their oppressive aura overwhelming the surrounding area.

This is the ultimate counterattack of chaos against the newborn light, the annihilation of darkness against human truth.

Loka's gaze sharpened, his fighting spirit rising.

Keep these golden words in your heart, uphold the righteous path, and walk the sacred road ahead.

He raised his hand to command the entire army, and the newly formed Golden Word Messenger Legion lined up to meet the enemy, their spears and blades standing tall, their fighting spirit burning brightly.
