Macador was silent for a moment, and then he spoke with a grin.
"According to the psychic projection, we found that a Necron Overlord took Voyager 1. This is really strange. Why would the echoes of those ancient races be interested in our antiques?"
"Even those pieces of space junk are tens of thousands of years more advanced than Voyager 1."
Now it was Roshi's turn to be silent, because even though Malcador had not mentioned the other party's name and characteristics, the smug face of a museum owner from Solomnas emerged in his mind.
"Why, do you have any idea, Roxi?" Macador was a little surprised, and Roxi waved his hands awkwardly to indicate that he didn't know.
To be honest, Trazyn is the overlord of the Necrons, but he always likes to do petty thefts all over the universe. It is really embarrassing to say that you know him.
The next time he sees him, Roche will definitely ask him where he hid Voyager 1.
The three of them rode in the anti-gravity hovercraft and continued to go deeper into the core of the Terra Palace. The outline of the palace gradually appeared above the horizon.
Countless palaces are built on the mountains. The vast Himalayas have been completely transformed into the human world, and those complex and exquisite buildings have become clearer.
Roxi didn't know who built it. When the Emperor arrived, a large part of the Terra Palace was already completed. In the distant past, some existence built these buildings for some purpose.
In the Terra Palace, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a giant structure reaching to the sky. It is like the Tower of Babel in ancient mythology. According to Malcador, this is the largest single man-made building on Terra.
Imperial Astronomican.
The tip of the Astronomican has already broken through the atmosphere, but the dazzling psychic light is enough to penetrate any barrier. Even at the edge of the Milky Way, navigators can see the glittering light of the Astronomican on Terra.
The Star Torch contained extremely terrifying psychic power. Even when Luo Xi stood dozens of kilometers away and looked at it with his naked eyes, he felt that his soul seemed to be ignited by it.
"When the Empire was first established after the Unification War, the Emperor ordered the construction of the Astronomican. The technical priests from Mars and the Emperor's personal experts worked together. After paying an unimaginable price, the Astronomican for navigation was created."
Macador seemed a little sad. Even if humans stood tens of kilometers away from the Astronomican, they were still as small as ants. If it weren't for the use of some special technology, the existence of the Astronomican would be enough to crush the continental plates beneath it and sink directly into the mantle and core.
What he was sad about was that glorious period when humanity achieved unification and the Emperor used his extraordinary knowledge to create the Primarchs and the Astartes Legion, launching the magnificent Great Crusade.
Mankind broke free from the endless decadence of the long night and began to move forward again.
Although the human empire created by the Emperor and Malcador is a completely extreme, ignorant and stubborn political system, everyone has to admit that humans can only accept such imperial rule now.
As long as we can unite humanity and allow human civilization to continue, all sacrifices are worth it.
No betrayal is too small to forgive, no sacrifice too great to accept.
Countless giant sculptures that are as big as Emperor-class Titans stand in the square leading to the throne room of the palace. Those magnificent objects carved from giant marble record and tell what happened in the distant past.
Human beings have been fighting against nature since their birth, and only through constant struggle has mankind come to where it is today.
From the moment they entered a magnificent archway, any mobile vehicles were prohibited from entering, and the Seal Bearer and Luo Xi could only move forward on foot.
Luo Xi had a vague feeling that countless pairs of eyes were watching him from an imperceptible place. This came from his extremely sensitive intuition, which had helped him overcome difficulties countless times.
"The Emperor's Guards. They are everywhere in the Palace," Malcador said quietly.
Sure enough, as the Seal Bearer spoke, several powerful warriors who were taller than Astartes and equipped with gorgeous golden armor suddenly appeared from various places that Roxi could not imagine. They were
They wore some kind of sharp helmets engraved with complicated runes, with long red tassels hanging from the top. The mighty Imperial Sky Eagle was branded on their breastplates and shoulder armors, and the round skulls symbolizing human purity embellished the blank area below the Sky Eagle.
Each of the imperial guards held a guard spear in their hands. Their steps were light and silent, yet as swift as lightning.
"The ultimate creation of the Emperor's bio-alchemy, the Custodian."
Luo Xi thought to himself that these golden-armored warriors looked more powerful than the Astartes. Even in their non-combat state, they were still several levels ahead of the Space Marines in terms of numerical strength.
"But why do these guys look... more like some kind of golden corn?" Luo Xi secretly complained in his heart. Of course he didn't dare to say it out loud. He had never dealt with the Emperor's Guards, and God knew whether they were easy to get along with.
"Seal Master, please follow me."
The leading imperial guard swept his eyes with a cold knife, and there was no difference in the way he looked at the seal holder, Roche, and Rogaldorn, as if he were a ruthless flesh and blood machine.
Following behind the Imperial Guards, Luo Xi and others were able to enter the throne room where the Emperor was now.
The melodious sound of bells echoed in the palace, the steps of the imperial guards were as precise as if they were carved, and the huge stained glass windows let in the sun's rays, making this place even more sacred and transcendent.
The throne room is right before our eyes.

The Emperor's Guards led the three men into the throne room. They were fully armed, wearing shining golden armor, holding activated guard spears, and were fully ready for battle.
Surrounded by them, Luo Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva. His brain was frantically warning that if they dared to make any abnormal moves, the guard spears of these imperial guards would fall down immediately without mercy.
The Imperial Guards are the pinnacle creations of the Emperor's bio-alchemy. They must begin transformation from infancy. Under the influence of bio-alchemy, the candidates will spontaneously begin to transform, both physically and spiritually.
In addition to their extraordinary martial arts and fighting skills, the Imperial Guards must also be proficient in politics, physics, geography, astronomy, history, philosophy, art and other subjects. The transformation of each Imperial Guard is completely customized for the individual, and their genetic advantages will be strengthened to reach a level of perfection.
The last door slowly opened, and through the gap, Roxi glimpsed the darkness and faint light in the throne room.
A sticky white mist similar to steam gushed out from the gap and then disappeared immediately.
The imperial guards stood guard at the door of the throne room, watching the seal bearer lead Luo Xi in.
Afterwards, these powerful guards stood at the door like sculptures and began their guarding duties.
Although he was mentally prepared, when he entered the so-called throne room, Luo Xi was still completely shocked by what he saw. The blood flow in his body seemed to stop, and the surface of his skin constantly fed back a tingling feeling to his brain.
The throne room is not just a room, but an extremely large space with no visible boundaries. It is filled with all kinds of unknown machines, most of which Roche does not recognize at all.
Giant pipes with a diameter large enough to accommodate a fully armed guard of imperial guards shuttled through the darkness. They were intricately outlined on the floor, walls, and ceiling, interweaving together to form a dizzying maze.
Something similar to white mist continuously gushed out of the dark pipes, but the viscosity of that thing was completely different from that of water vapor. It seemed to be maintaining the space here in a specific condition so that the countless devices could operate normally.
Roche could only recognize certain matter reactors and void printing devices similar to those on his ship, which were constantly replicating various different machines under the control of invisible forces.
Scarlet light flowed across various gauges and display screens, with only a few flashing a verdant green luster. It was obvious that the equipment here was not very grand.
"The Golden Throne has never been a single individual creation. Strictly speaking, perhaps the entire throne room, or even the entire Terra Palace, is part of the Golden Throne."
Malcador said with emotion, using his psychic power to clear away the white mist in front of him, revealing countless more complex pipe systems.
They seemed to have accidentally entered the belly of a giant python, and the tubes inside were its intricate internal organs.
Although Luo Xi could not understand these things in a short period of time, with his intuition and experience, the beauty of these machines proved that they were the crystallization of talent and wisdom.
Science and technology and human instinctive aesthetics often have something in common. If you feel that a certain technology, certain formulas, or certain technological creations can bring about an instinctive sense of beauty, then it is likely to be effective.
This is a simple empirical science, but it often works very well most of the time.
"Some of these technological creations are used to maintain the existence of the Golden Throne, some support our [Artificial Webway] project, and of course some are the source of power for the defense system of the entire Terra Palace."
"The core of Terra's Aegis defense system is located here."
Malcador explained to Roxie, while Dorn continued to follow silently behind.
Dorn did not come here often, because those Guards resisted the coming of the Primarchs. Contrary to what many humans imagined, as creations of the Emperor, the relationship between the Primarchs and the Emperor's Guards was not actually harmonious. Some Guards even had a natural hostility and vigilance towards the Primarchs and Space Marines.
In fact, humans do not have much of a concrete concept of the size of things. When the scale is limited to centimeters, decimeters and meters, they can still use themselves as a reference relatively simply.
But when this scale reaches hundreds of meters or even kilometers, tiny creatures like humans lose their perception of size.
For example, the largest and most eye-catching mechanical creation in the throne room is this one. Its surface has a gold-like luster. It is placed on a golden metal door driven by a machine. The door can easily accommodate the entry and exit of a Warlord-class Titan.
Countless energy lines and rune circuits spread across the several-kilometer-high golden throne, forming a complex array that no one could understand. Even with just a glance, the amount of information contained in it almost made Luo Xi dizzy.
"Who designed and built it? In my opinion, it undoubtedly exceeds the limits of human beings."
Luo Xi sighed from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't think he was a top scientist, he was still acceptable.
Having lived for so many years, he has more or less learned a lot of cutting-edge knowledge, and relying on the advantage of immortality, he has transformed a small part of it into his own.
Many of the talented scientists who had pushed human civilization forward were his classmates at the Pan-Solar Union University. Although compared to them, Roche was just a tiny star whose luster was taken away by the sun, but when the sun sets, the tiny star still shines.
It is precisely because he has witnessed so many outstanding and extraordinary geniuses that Luo Xi always maintains a humble and cautious heart.
There were actually more creatures in the throne room than one might have imagined. Roxi saw that between those large machines and containers, there were hundreds of technical priests and modified servitors in red robes working attentively.
"Those are not members of the Mechanicum of Mars," Malcador said. "They are Tech-Priests who are subordinate to the Emperor and utterly loyal to the Imperium. Our allies, the other side of the Double-Headed Eagle, have also experienced a schism."
Malcador was referring to the Martian Civil War. The effects of the Horus Heresy were not limited to the Imperium. In fact, the Imperial allies, the Mechanicus of Mars, also betrayed the Imperium, and even the Fabricator-General Kyber-Hal sided with Horus.
There are a large number of tubes and cables on the Golden Throne leading to the mysterious space below the palace. Roxi knows that it is a portal connected to the Eldar's Webway, and it is also a laboratory where humans try to build an artificial Webway.
He felt something in his heart. It was the discovery of the Golden Throne and the Eldar Webway that gave the Emperor the idea of establishing the Human Empire. Everything, the death and sacrifice of billions of people in the galaxy, and the dedication of countless loyal people, were all for the operation of this golden machine in front of him.
The Golden Throne has long been tied to the fate of mankind, and now it is on the brink of collapse. The damage to the webway has caused endless demons to attack the throne world of mankind.
"Is the Emperor sitting there?" Luo Xi looked up. The Golden Throne was located at the top of this technological creation from ancient times. It was like a super-giant pyramid, perhaps more than several kilometers high.
"Yes, there is a greatest man out there who is suffering beyond anyone's imagination."
"He sacrificed himself for the survival of mankind."
Machado said, and everyone was in silence.
This is the greatest sacrifice in human history.
Chapter 359: Firewood for Psychics (Please Subscribe)
The Webway Project was the key to the Emperor's plan for Humanity's Ascension, and it all came to an end when the full force of the psychic warnings of Magnus the Red and the Thousand Sons Legion shattered the psychic barriers erected by the Emperor to protect his man-made Webway.
A crack was torn in the artificial webway, which was originally the weak point of the webway, and the long-coveted Warp Demons swarmed in through this gap.
Behind them are the four supreme evil gods of the Warp. In order to stop the Emperor's plan, they are even able to put aside their endless hatred and temporarily unite.
"The Webway War," Malcador lamented.
"When Magnus's folly caused destruction, the Emperor and I sent a large number of Custodes and Sisters of Silence, as well as technical priests and solar auxiliaries loyal to the Emperor. We did defeat the demon offensive in the early stages of the war."
"But the number of enemies is endless, and our brave warriors will be injured and exhausted. For every demon of the Warp banished back to the High Heavens, ten or a hundred times the same kind will come again to attack."
"In order to prevent everything from going to complete destruction, the Emperor used his unparalleled psychic power to create a psychic barrier within the reach of the Golden Throne, covering the remaining Imperial forces returning to the Imperial Palace."
Looking at the grand subspace portal, Luo Xi seemed to be able to smell the blood and rust in the air that had almost turned into substance. Countless of the empire's most elite technicians and soldiers fell here.
Suddenly, an ancient bronze bell seemed to ring in the grand throne room, and the busy red-robed figures around it suddenly stopped.
At this moment, above Terra's orbit, a fleet of black ships slowly docked at the platform, and the mysterious Sister of Silence was teleporting to the palace with thousands of suspended transparent sarcophagi.
"That is the [Unspoken Sanction] issued by the Emperor, and the Sisters of Silence and the entire Black Ship Federation are carrying out this order together." Malcador explained.
Luo Xi saw that everyone was making way for the group of Sisters of Silence, even the imperial guards who looked very difficult to get along with and had a sour face towards them were no exception.
The leader, a Silent Sister wearing golden armor of silence and holding a two-handed greatsword, came to the front of the seal holder.
