Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

There was a kind of mystery in what the Prophet Aida said, which was unique to the elves. Luo Xi tried hard to understand it, but he felt a headache coming on.

"Take you humans as an example. In the past, during the so-called Dark Technology Age, your technology had already developed to a remarkable degree, and you were even able to rewrite the rules and manipulate the nature of our universe."

Luo Xi knew this. In the past, humans once had a weapon that could modify the hit rate, so that the weapon's hit rate reached 105%. This was a distortion and modification of the rules.

"Among the humans at that time, there even emerged a group of beings called Golden People. Their genes were almost perfect, but unfortunately they still had limitations. What they advocated was to continue on the genetic path, so as to achieve genetic ascension for all humans."

"Once they truly complete the so-called genetic ascension, all humans will have perfect genes. No one will be troubled by birth, aging, sickness and death. Ordinary enemies will no longer be able to threaten their existence. They will be completely transcendent and become a god-like existence."

All human beings will no longer be subject to birth, aging, sickness and death... and will be eternally immortal.

Hearing this, Luo Xi felt a little tempted, but also had a vague feeling that something was very wrong.

Is it really possible for such a civilized race that is above all things to exist?

Regardless of whether Luo Xi really listened or not, Uslan continued, "There is another group of people who believe in machines and metals more. They choose to take the path of mechanical ascension and try to transform themselves into mechanical bodies, or simply sublimate their consciousness into a string of data to achieve transcendence."

He gave an example.

"Among you humans, there should be something called Machine Soul. I think you must have doubted its authenticity, but I tell you, Machine Soul does exist. It is not an intelligent AI, but it really exists."

Luo Xi had always thought that the Machine Soul worshipped by the current Mechanicus was a nonsense, but with some of the things he had seen, he had indeed become more powerful after being blessed by the Mechanicus, and he had to accept that the Machine Soul might really exist.

Those machines also have souls.

Even some more complex machines have more colorful souls, with emotions that are even comparable to those of humans.

And now hearing that Uslan actually knew something about machine souls, he immediately perked up and listened carefully.

"I can tell you that the creation of machine souls is related to humans in the Dark Age of Technology. Those humans who wanted to perform mechanical ascension tried to steal the power of the Creator and give mechanical dead objects souls."

"Although I don't know what they did, after an incredible experiment, they did it. They modified the rules. From then on, machines can also have souls, and are not just cold and dead objects."

Uslan’s words stunned Luo Xi. The birth of the machine soul was actually related to human’s ascension experiment.

They wanted to first try to give the machine a soul, and then upload their own consciousness into the machine, so as to achieve true immortality.

It sounds crazy, but they actually did it.

"What about the ending? What is the ending?" Luo Xi asked urgently.

Uslan shrugged, expressing his regret helplessly.

"I don't need to tell you about the ending. If humans really succeeded in ascending, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state now. Whether it's genetic ascension or mechanical ascension, their final result is failure."

"The consequence of genetic ascension is that it completely destroyed the human genetic sequence. Not only did they not obtain the so-called perfect genes, but they were also bitten back by them. As far as I know, the Golden People are completely finished."

"Although I don't know the final outcome of the mechanical ascension faction, according to my judgment, they also failed. After all, we haven't seen anyone who has successfully completed mechanical ascension."

Uslan mentioned the Necrons in a mocking tone: "By the way, don't think that those metal skeletons have already ascended mechanically. They are completely cheating. All civilizations in the entire universe are candidates. The ultimate test question is how to complete the ascension. The Necrons cheated, and the end result is naturally punishment."

"Their original race, the Necrontyr, has perished. The remaining ones are nothing more than soulless machines that think they are Necrontyr. They are deceiving themselves and others, thinking they are still the same beings they once were."

Civilization, candidates, ascension.

Luo Xi thought about the relationship between the three words, and suddenly he had many new insights.

"What about you elves? And your creator, the Ancient Saint?" Luo Xi thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that Uslan did not mention him.

"Unfortunately, we failed too." Uslan sighed helplessly. He also hoped that his race could complete the ascension. Then the elves would be truly immortal, jump out of the confinement of the long river of time, and become a fish that walks ashore.

“We should be taking the path of psychic ascension. In the days of the ancient elves, each individual was a powerful psychic, far superior to what you would call an Alpha-class psychic. We can easily play with and extinguish stars.

But unfortunately, indulgence and depravity destroyed us, and the consequence of failing to ascend was the birth of Lady Thirst, which sounded the death knell for us. "

Uslan was very calm and did not show much subjective emotion when talking about his race.

He is a very special elf, and also the most communicative elf that Luo Xi has ever met. Perhaps it is precisely because he is not as arrogant and conceited as other elves that he reflects on the past instead of dwelling on it.

"As I said, all civilizations are candidates, and their ultimate goal is to complete the ascension. As poor students, we have no way to evaluate the Creator. I don't know whether they have completed the ascension path."

After listening to Uslan's explanation, Luo Xi suddenly found that many of the questions that had been bothering him had answers.

The Emperor reshaped humanity so that the race he loved could achieve ascension and transcendence, becoming a transcendent species no longer affected by any enemies, including the Warp.

And now, Horus' betrayal has destroyed the dream of revival. Does this mean that the human candidate has failed again?

Chapter 292 Guilliman, you plotted against me! (Please subscribe)

After a conversation with Uslan, Luo Xi suddenly felt a little upset.

Behind all this, it seemed slightly different from what he had imagined, and appeared more complicated and obscure.

"You don't need to be anxious. The outcome of the Terra war is still undecided. The Wolf Shepherd God blessed by the mighty powers of the Warp may not be able to defeat the wise and capable Lord of Humanity." Uslan comforted.

If Horus did not have the support of the evil gods of the Warp behind him, he would not have had much hope for these traitors.

On the surface, this war was a rebellion started by Horus, but in essence, it was a war between the evil gods of the Warp and the Emperor of Mankind.

Humans themselves might not have much idea, but as a member of the Eldar, Uslan knew very well how terrifying the Lord of Humanity was.

Although he looked like a human, in the subspace, Uslan once vaguely glimpsed the other party's golden sun essence that constantly emitted cold fluctuations.

To be honest, Uslan had never seen a life in the real universe with such terrifying psychic power. Even the ancient elves who could easily crush stars were like harmless lambs in front of that man.

Perhaps only the wise men among the ancient saints can be compared with him?

He didn't even dare to get too close to the other party's existence in the subspace, because it was just cold sunlight to humans, but it was the most deadly poison to alien life and demons.

Even the terrifying demons of the Warp only dare to call each other "the Cursed", and this treatment is generally used to describe the four supreme evil gods of the Warp.

Of course, Uslan did not tell Luo Xi about these mutterings, because it was really not very glorious and it would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

"If we Eldar have such a great and capable being, why should we fear Lady Thirst?"

Uslan sighed in his heart, since he was under the protection of the webway, he could imagine the evil god who was entangled with the elves, but if he was in the outside world, the other party would have shifted his attention long ago.

Listening to the prophet's advice, Luo Xi also smiled.

"You're right. I once advised Conrad Coates not to be superstitious about prophecies, let alone be trapped by them. It turns out that those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly. When it comes to me, I can't help but fall into trouble as well."

He decided to put these distractions aside. What he had to do now was to return to Macragge and then discuss with Guilliman, Lion and others how to quickly mobilize troops to support Terra.

With Uslan's help, they were able to use the webway to mobilize troops, which was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough.

As for the [Terra Ritual] that the prophet hinted at, it was very likely that they would not all be able to make it to Terra, and that was not something he should be thinking about now. If their reinforcements really could not even reach Terra through the Webway, then there was nothing to say.

God is watching what you do. Luo Xi will just try his best. Whether he will succeed or not is another question.

"I must reiterate one point: Luo Xi, our cooperation is based on your presence. I have also come into contact with other imperial people besides you, and they are all completely incommunicable. Therefore, you can only ask me to borrow the power of the Webway."

Uslan warned seriously that he was taking a huge gamble, betting that humans would be able to abide by the agreement after using the Webway.

He understood that the dilemma humanity was currently facing was also the dilemma facing all of the universe. If the Lord of Mankind was really killed by Horus, then the forces of chaos would completely control the most powerful race in the galaxy.

The webway beneath Terra will explode completely, and the endless warp demons will turn humanity's home planet into a place of death no different from the Eye of Terror.

With the help of the vast number of humans in the galaxy, the evil gods will have the most sumptuous feast since the War in Heaven.

Uslan didn't dare to think about how horribly the evil gods would be able to expand the influence of the subspace under such circumstances.

By then, the scars in the real universe, those huge and difficult-to-bridge Warp rifts, will not only be the Eye of Terror and those smaller Warp whirlpools.

I am afraid that by then the real universe will be completely riddled with holes, and countless subspace cracks will be like tentacles extended from the Supreme Heaven, penetrating deeply into the body of their universe, polluting and sucking its life.

For life in the real universe, it will be an absolute dark doomsday. The dead will never rest in peace, their souls will be manipulated and devoured by demons and evil gods, and the living will suffer extremely horrific slavery and torture, never to find a peaceful place again.

But that is a matter for the future. If humans turn against them and directly seize the Webway, the Eldar will be in huge trouble now.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone else get involved in the Webway." Luo Xi made the promise.

Others could not be as rational and restrained as he was. Luo Xi certainly knew what the Imperials were thinking. Once they were allowed to enter the Webway, they would immediately attack the Eldar and seize the Webway at all costs.

Luo Xi did not deny this idea, he just wanted to ask, what happens after you grab it?

The Eldar know how to navigate the Webway and know the exact locations of millions of Webway gates, but what about humans?

Although the Eldar's understanding of the Webway is also decreasing, they can at least maintain and repair some Webway facilities, and even make a youth version of the Eldar's Webway branch. Although the quality is far inferior to the original version of the Old Ones, it is still incomparable to humans.

Humans only know that the Webway is a good thing, but know very little about its specific situation. Roxi is afraid that by then it will be humans who will destroy the last legacy of the Creator because of their own ignorance and stubbornness. It would be better for the elves to occupy it temporarily.

Roche is able to restrain himself, and he also hopes that humans can have the Webway, but that is not realistic at the moment and is not the optimal solution.

Of course, if humans’ understanding of the Webway could one day rival that of the Eldar, then Roche also hoped that the two races could “develop together and live in harmony.”

The flow of time in the webway was different from that in the outside world. Luo Xi felt that only a few minutes had passed before Uslan announced that they had arrived at their destination.

"This is a hub fork of the Webway. The Savage Eldar of Alaitoc Craftworld and Pandora will part ways with us here."

"They will return to their own Craftworlds and look for new homes."

The Eldar warship that had been leading the human fleet forward "whoosh" rushed into another webway exit. The chaotically changing webway changed its form in the blink of an eye, and a new branch line appeared.

Luo Xi blinked, all this happened in the blink of an eye.

"If there were no Eldar leading the way, I'm afraid we would all be lost in the Webway. These extra-dimensional spaces are neither in the real universe nor in the subspace. We can't find the direction at all."

"In the warp, there are navigators who can guide the direction, but in the webway, it is completely dark."

Uslan will still stay with Luo Xi for the time being. Under Luo Xi's introduction, he will meet with the Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds.

Without Roche's guarantee, he would not be able to meet Guilliman, and the other party would be even less likely to trust him.

The Red Alert and several cruisers passed through the webway's light gate and jumped back to the real universe in an instant.

The familiar star of the Macragge system shone its light into the porthole of the Red Alert. A large group of destroyer fleets suddenly gathered around it, signals were coming in like snowflakes, and those terrifying interstellar defense weapons were being warmed up.

"This is Red Alert, we have returned."

"I repeat, this is Red Alert, we have returned to Macragge."

Roche immediately sent a signal to the surrounding warships and orbital defense platforms for confirmation. He didn't want to go through so much trouble to return to Macragge, only to be blown up by his own people.

After complicated identity verification and boarding inspection by both parties, the activated defense alarm finally subsided.

Roche piloted the Red Alert and followed the barge to Mustafar. The precious black stones loaded on the cruisers would be immediately put into further production.

"Mr. Deputy Governor, welcome back to Macragge." The mortal official on the orbital platform saluted respectfully.

"Hmm?" Luo Xi subconsciously felt something was wrong. What did they call him?

Seeing that Luo Xi was a little dazed and stunned, the mortal official immediately explained.
