Dorn did not bother with this stubborn guard, even though if he wanted to, he could easily twist off the head of the golden-armored giant in the blink of an eye.
The gap between the Primarch and the Adeptus Custodes could not be made up by so-called skills or numbers. Even when facing the weakest Primarch Alpharius, the Adeptus Custodes commander Valdor could only hold on for a few minutes and even asserted that he would definitely be defeated.
"Alas, the rebels are not united internally, what about us?" lamented Malcador.
Now that he is still here and the Emperor is still here, they can suppress the conflict between the Custodes and the Primarchs. But once something goes wrong between the two of them, will this conflict completely intensify and explode?
Malcador didn't know that the ability to predict the future is not omnipotent, and what you see may not be true.
When the tens of millions of timelines you see are all real, how do you choose?
He now only hoped that the meeting on the throne would go more smoothly. Luo Xi was the chosen one from the beginning.

"Nios, why is it you?"
Luo Xi stood there, rubbing his fingers instinctively to speed up the flow of the blood that had become stiff due to shock.
Before climbing the stairs, he prepared for the worst in his mind - once in Macragge, during a conversation with Guilliman, the other party suggested that the "Chief" might be the same person as the "Emperor".
Although Luo Xi strongly refuted this absurd statement, this shadow has always lingered in his heart. To be honest, who can completely deny this possibility?
Even after repeated ideological struggles, Luo Xi felt that this possibility was not completely unacceptable. Although he didn't know why the almost perfect wise man in his heart had become the one who repeatedly behaved in confusing ways, it was also a good thing to see the Chief again.
And when he saw the true face of the Lord of Mankind, he realized that his guess was wrong, but not completely wrong.
It’s because the person in front of me does have some relationship with the chief.
Luo Xi knew the man under the aura of the Lord of Mankind.
"Is Neos your real name or just one of your endless names?" Luo Xi asked repeatedly, desperate for an answer.
"You are the Emperor, you are the Lord of Mankind, you are Neos, you are the Messiah of Om, who else are you?!"
Luo Xi's heart was pounding. If a person suddenly discovered that the true identity of one of his friends was the Lord of Humanity, he would probably have the same reaction.
"You may take that as my real name, my friend," said the man on the throne.
"Ten thousand years later, we will meet again."
The Emperor's voice appeared directly in Roche's mind, and he tried his best to control his psychic energy to prevent the scattered power from blowing Roche's head into pieces.
Even Malcador could not sustain the psychic power of the Lord of Mankind for long, let alone a psychic insulator like Roche.
Looking at Neos, whose face was filled with pain, Luo Xi's mind flashed back to their past interactions.
In the 21st millennium of mankind, Roche entered the famous Pan-Solar Union University. He concealed his previous identity and relied on the knowledge and experience accumulated over a long period of time to enter the top university in this solar system.
This is the cradle of humanity's cutting-edge technology and frontier theories, and countless famous scientists have emerged and grown from here.
Many people who graduated from here became top figures in a certain field, some entered the human alliance to engage in politics, and became the CEO of a certain star region. Many founders of giant technology monopolies also came from here, turning the knowledge learned at the Pan-Solar System Alliance University into tangible behemoths.
For an immortal like him, it is not a strange thing to go back to university. In a long life, one always needs to do something to kill time. Even hobbies that one once loved will eventually become boring and indifferent after countless years of repetition.
But he is not good at learning. Luo Xi has always maintained a good habit of learning. For those cutting-edge technologies, he needs to spend a long time to absorb those genius ideas and theories, and what he lacks the least is time.
At that time, at the Pan-Solar System Union University, he got to know the chief of the alliance with his outstanding performance.
He continued his studies beside the Chief as a student, and after several years of getting along, Luo Xi confessed to him his identity as an immortal.
"Your hiding is not very good, Luo Xi." The chief just smiled and said, "I helped you erase the traces you left behind. Someone in the alliance is tracking down the traces of you immortals."
"One of the original driving forces behind the development of mankind today is the fear of death. Countless people yearn for the power of immortality."
With the development of human technology, society has become more transparent and intuitive. The lives of immortals like Roche, who have left their marks in history, have become increasingly difficult, and their hiding has become extremely difficult.
At that time, there were several equally outstanding talents beside the chief who studied with him.
Neos is one of them.
To be fair, Luo Xi and Neos are both students of the chief. Although they are from the same school, they do not have a very close relationship.
The reason is simple, mainly because this Neos... is too aloof and mysterious.
He didn't know where to return to school almost only when the chief was in class, and he was only interested in courses related to biological genetics. As for other courses in the fields of mechanics, artificial intelligence, etc., he was nowhere to be seen.
However, in top universities, geniuses are often eccentric and difficult to understand, and there is never a shortage of people who do amazing things, so Neos's habit of "skipping classes" would not attract other people's attention at all.
In other words, only Luo Xi, who was also bored and often paid attention to some weird classmates, noticed the existence of Neos.
He even went to the chief to learn about the other party's situation. After the latter showed Luo Xi several papers written by Neos in the field of biological genetic science, he realized that Neos was an absolute genius.
In Neos's paper, there was even a mention of an idea of using enhanced transformation surgery to strengthen the bodies of ordinary humans. The completed body will have greater strength, stronger recovery ability, and stronger thinking form. Standing from his current perspective, Roxi thought carefully and immediately reacted.
Isn't this the Thunder Warrior, or the original prototype of Astartes?
The concept of Astartes appeared earlier than expected.
"Neos is a smart boy." The chief spread his paper on the table and scribbled with a pen, outlining some important parts.
"Unfortunately, he didn't learn everything well. He learned everything but not deeply enough. Otherwise, his idea of human enhancement wouldn't be full of loopholes."
"His plan also requires surgery to implant the modified object. In terms of human body adaptability and modification efficiency, it is inferior."
"Since they are planning to carry out transformation, why not just use genetic drugs to automatically generate the so-called transformation organs after the individual transformation begins?"
"So, I can only give him a B+, but if he can continue to improve, maybe he can get to an A."
The memories in his mind seemed to be activated, and even Luo Xi didn't realize that he still remembered this scene.
The aura of the emperor as the master of mankind suddenly dissipated a lot in his eyes.
After all, if a person knew that the great, omnipotent human emperor could only be rated B+ by his teacher in the past, his worship of him would be more rational.
The figure on the throne saw Luo Xi's expression change, and he immediately laughed as well.
It was a genuine smile.
The horrific pain caused by the Golden Throne's extraction of psychic energy could not break his will. In fact, if necessary, the Emperor could sit here for a whole day, a whole year, or even ten thousand years.
His will had long been sublimated, and everything he had was dedicated to the great cause of saving humanity.
"Yes, I failed to satisfy my teachers and didn't get an A grade until I graduated."
The face of the Emperor, or Neos, showed happy memories of the past, and his consciousness seemed to have returned to the days when he was studying at the Pan-Solar Union University, when he was carefree and free.
He can freely choose the courses that interest him to attend, or he can silently appreciate the figures of some young and lively classmates.
Humanity is full of vitality and constantly moving forward. It is not the turn of a student like him to save the world.
Having survived from the Stone Age to the present day as an emperor, he has witnessed firsthand how humans have created incredible achievements step by step. He has seen human progress and innovation, and he has seen what this race is really like.
"So, all those times you skipped classes, you went out to save the world?"
Luo Xi's mood was extremely complicated. He felt both the emotion of meeting an old friend and the helplessness of Neos's current desperate situation.
He subconsciously made a joke to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"It's not like I'm saving the world. I'm just trying my best to help as many people in need as possible." Neos said this modestly. However, with his terrifying psychic power, calling him a superman would be an underestimation of him.
"Your current situation is... Oh, I don't know where to start. Are you okay, Neos?"
Luo Xi had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask Neos, but when he really wanted to open his mouth, he didn't know where to start or what to say first.
Why did the Emperor take the path he is on today, and how should they solve the current predicament of the Empire.
How did humanity fall into depravity during the Golden Age, and why did the Dark Age of Technology end in the destruction of the Iron Man Rebellion?
All of this is brewing in my heart, and in the end it can only be transformed into one sentence: Are you okay?
Chapter 362: The Savior Emperor
"Am I okay?"
Neos didn't expect that this would be the first question his old friend asked after meeting him.
He looked at his body, whose spiritual power was being continuously drained by the Golden Throne. His flesh and blood were shriveled and rigid, and he could vaguely see the jagged and protruding bones with the naked eye.
For a normal person, when the body becomes like this, it is definitely death.
The one thousand psychics brought by the black ship of the Sisters of Silence would be burned to ashes in an instant after coming into contact with the power of the Golden Throne, and even their souls would be completely destroyed.
"I am the Emperor," Neos said.
"At least it's not bad."
Luo Xi didn't know whether what this old friend said was true or not. Maybe for the Emperor, the current appearance was not that bad.
Seeing that Luo Xi did not ask any questions for a long time, the emperor began to talk about the past.
"I know you have a lot of questions, I will tell you everything I can."
Neos spoke, and Luo Xi vaguely felt that this old friend had undergone some changes that he could not imagine.
When he called himself Neos, the one who dominated his consciousness was the lonely scholar he knew in the past, his old friend and classmate, the mortal with flesh and blood.
And when he called himself the emperor, what dominated his consciousness was a savior without blood or tears, infinitely strong and powerful, a transcendent existence whose absolute divinity was greater than humanity.
He didn't know if this was a form of schizophrenia, or perhaps using such an adjective to describe the Emperor was a great insult, so he just kept the idea in his heart.
"Let's start from the beginning, and tell how our golden age came to an end."
The Emperor said, using incredible means to flash past scenes in Roche's mind, reproducing everything as if it were a film sped up a million times.
"Since the invention of the subspace engine in the 15th millennium, we humans have truly broken away from the limitations of the cradle of Earth and headed for the sea of stars, and gradually created a huge interstellar alliance."
"We invented the Stone Men. These durable biochemically modified humans can withstand the baptism of long years like natural rocks. When our colonists fall into hibernation, the Stone Men will control the ships and use the subspace navigation to find suitable planets, and then thaw the humans after arriving at the destination."
"The Stonemen relied on the wisdom given by humans and the creativity generated by self-learning. They then created the Ironmen. From the perspective of scientific research and creativity, the Stonemen with their long lifespans are undoubtedly more advantageous than humans who are restricted by death."
Luo Xi nodded. There was nothing wrong with what Neos said. Compared with the human technology tree that had developed to an incredible level, the lifespan of the human race was really too short.
Life is so short that many scholars cannot reach the forefront of science and technology in their entire lives, let alone go further and make new contributions.
He still remembered the great scientists of the first millennium of mankind, Newton, who discovered classical mechanics, and Einstein, who discovered the mass-energy reaction equation.
They were undoubtedly the most brilliant scientists of that era. If their lifespans could be infinitely extended and they could ignore the effects of disease and aging, how much more achievements could they make?
"The stone man who kept learning and updating invented the iron man. With the help of his most capable partner, humans defeated the green-skinned orcs of that period and many incomprehensible alien races. Even the Eldar, the overlord of the universe at that time, were unwilling to waste their time enjoying themselves and fight to the death with humans."
Luo Xi nodded. Everything the Emperor said was known to him. This was indeed the golden age of mankind. The entire civilization was developing at an incredible speed and momentum, and everything was thriving.
