She believed that even a failed resistance was better than becoming a vassal without a struggle.

……

When the anti-foreign faction decided to act, they were confident that they had the situation under control and possessed the military power to change the situation, and they would not hesitate to use this ability.

Unfortunately, before the song of reform could be finished, the forces they had ambushed at the gate of the Titanium family were surrounded by a large army of "defeatists".

From all sides, massive Titanium Hammerhead tanks lined up, and the heavily armed Flame Clan army surrounded them. This military operation, which was supposed to be a surprise attack, instantly turned into a counter-attack.

The anti-foreign faction was extremely surprised. Even with Yingyang's prestige, it was impossible for him to mobilize all the Flame Clan warriors to participate in the internal struggle. What on earth was going on?

Then, a scene that shocked Yingyang and many high-ranking anti-foreign officials appeared. The first to appear was the "famous traitor", or the hero in the eyes of ordinary Tau people, who had switched to the Federation camp many years ago.

Then it turned out to be Qingxi, the mentor of the Supreme Ether Anwa and Yingyang!

Now the enemy is truly in the Supreme Council. Who would have thought that the supreme leader of the Tau Empire is such a defeatist.

Yingyang was not surprised by Anwa's appearance. Although this Supreme Ether had been living in seclusion in recent years, he was still "alive" after all, while Qingxi was dead.

On the contrary, the etheric mentors among the conservatives who knew the truth about Anwa were horrified. They thought that Anwa and Qingxi in front of them were both absolute haunted phenomena.

This man, who was Anwa in both physical structure and thinking mode, used his usual charismatic "standard ether style" tone to persuade the anti-foreign faction to lay down their arms and peacefully disarmed the opponents.

"You lost."

Anwa spoke in a calm tone. His voice was gentle, but it chilled the hearts of all the anti-foreigners.

Ultimately, Yingyang and the Anti-Foreigner Faction had no choice but to lay down their arms.

They couldn't understand what was happening, they didn't even know who they lost to.

……

After the anti-foreign faction's influence in the Titanium family was eliminated, supporters of other families were gradually marginalized and disempowered.

Finally, Supreme Aether Anwar personally appeared for the first time since his third expansion of the Sky, and once again spoke face to face with all the citizens of the Tau Empire.

The Supreme Ether Anwar announced to all citizens of the Tau Empire that the Tau Empire would engage in deeper cooperation with the Helka Federation. In fact, this meant completely joining the Federation's system and taking the other side as the leader.

The "defeatists'" ideals eventually became reality. Although most Tau Empire residents still had doubts about this decision, they eventually accepted this new order after being attracted by Anwar's speech and the technology and resources brought by the Federation.

……

When everything was settled, the confused Yingyang went to a secluded residence to find Qingxi, Anwa and Yuanjian, who were discussing the new martial arts routine "Ryuken's Fist" they learned from the Federation.

"Supreme Ether Master, you..."

"I am a ghost of the past, just like your master."

Anwa's frankness surprised Yingyang.

Chapter 162 Mechanical Prophet.

Yingyang stood silently in the center of the courtyard, feeling the sound of the breeze blowing through the bionic bamboo forest.

The night was as dark as ink, the stars were silent, and her eyes fell on that familiar figure, the Supreme Aether Anwar, once the beacon of the Tau Empire, the guide of the Elemental Council, and now...

Is he still Anwa? Yingyang's hand subconsciously tightened around the handle of his gun, but he didn't draw it.

She had to find out, she had to listen to this man, or this being, explain in person who he was and what he had done.

"You've always been very perceptive, Xia Siou."

His voice and intonation were no different from Grand Master Anwar's.

"Strictly speaking, I wasn't reborn."

This "Anwa" looked at Yingyang. His voice was still gentle but firm, carrying the majesty of time. His gaze was deep, as if he could see through every wave of Yingyang's heart.

"The 'me' standing before you now is just a simulation of the former Anwa."

Yingyang's breath hitched slightly. While she knew of the T'au Empire's tradition of using high-precision AI to simulate the lives of great T'au talents, ensuring their wisdom could be passed down through generations—her mentor, Qingxi, had been treated in the same way—she had never imagined that this system could allow a person to be completely "reborn." What she saw before her was simply beyond the reach of T'au AI technology.

"These simulated AIs developed by the Tau Empire itself, such as my former self, are often subject to strict restrictions."

Ai Anwa continued, "They have no real thoughts and can only provide limited auxiliary suggestions. But the Federation's technology has changed everything."

The Helka Federation is their conspiracy. Yingyang's brows furrowed slightly.

Ai of Anvar, the Supreme Aether, recounted the entire process of his awakening to Commander Shadowsun.

"Federation technology makes all the difference."

Ai Anwa said lightly, as if stating a common fact, "Through their extremely advanced hacking technology and the signal repeaters hidden in the goods they traded to us, our computer network has been unknowingly incorporated into their matrix system."

"And they kindly used the most advanced mechanical prophetic omnic upgrade system to help me upgrade, allowing me to iterate into a fully intelligent synthetic personality and achieve a complete self."

Yingyang finally understood that Anwa was not "reborn" at all, but the Federation directly copied his thinking mode and created a super-advanced Ai with Anwa's personality.

"They used leader personality uploading technology and the mechanical prophet upgrade system to optimize my logic matrix to an extreme degree."

Anwa's gaze remained unchanged as he continued, "Finally, I possessed all of Anwa's memories, all of his ways of thinking, and the astonishing wisdom he could never have possessed."

“But this is just the beginning.”

Anwar said calmly, "Under the nose of the Elemental Council, I have already taken control of the entire Tau Empire's computer network and quietly organized my own forces."

As Ai'anvar gained control of more and more power, he was finally able to secretly bring Farsight and his Vacuum Clan technicians to his home in the Tau Capital. With the help of Federation technology, he successfully "reincarnated" himself, possessing an organic body that could move at will. This allowed him to convince the Flame Clan to mobilize and completely crush the anti-foreign forces.

"You may think that the anti-foreigner faction's plan is very secretive, but in reality..."

He smiled slightly, and before he finished speaking, a killer drone quietly flew from the corner of his residence, showing off its installed pulse gun, and circled low in front of Yingyang.

"...They reported everything to me a long time ago."

Anwa asked the drone, who originally worked for the anti-foreign faction, to retreat. The drone made an incomprehensible electronic sound and then disappeared around the corner again.

Yingyang's heart tightened. She finally understood why the anti-foreigner movement had failed so completely. Their every move had been under the surveillance of the AI Anwa from beginning to end.

After hearing the news, Yingyang felt dizzy. She couldn't believe that what Ai Anwa said was true. He used a miraculous method to easily defeat the anti-foreign forces.

To him, this was not a mutiny but a circus.

"The drones fulfilled their duties."

Anwa said calmly, "To maintain the prosperity and stability of the Tau Empire."

Prosperity? Stability?

Yingyang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She suddenly pulled out her pistol, pointed it at Anwa's forehead, and roared: "You have become a monster!"

The courtyard was silent for a moment.

Yuanjian's face changed drastically, and he immediately drew his sword to stand between them, preventing the conflict from escalating. However, Anwa simply raised his hand and gently pushed Yuanjian away.

Then, with an unprecedented harshness in his tone, he reprimanded: "Don't you understand? Xia Siou, maybe I'm not Anwar, but like him, I'm fighting for the Tau Empire."

Yingyang clenched his teeth, and the muzzle of the pistol remained motionless.

"Do you think the Tau Empire can remain indifferent to the Federation's demands for alignment?"

Anwar's voice was deep and powerful. "If the Helka people really regarded us as enemies, just like they treat the Imperial World, we would be destroyed in an instant! But they don't. They care about us. They respect us as friends."

The anger in Yingyang's eyes grew even more intense. "You actually think this kind of complete infiltration and control is respect?"

"you are wrong."

Anwa shook his head, "You haven't understood the true horror yet."

His gaze seemed to penetrate Shadowsun's soul.

"The Federation's network technology has unknowingly connected every Tau computer system to their matrix. They possess this power, yet they go to such lengths to accomplish this, precisely because they hope for a peaceful transition for the Tau Empire."

Yingyang's fingertips trembled slightly.

"They didn't use force against us, they didn't start a war, they didn't even demand our submission."

Anwa slowly extended his hand. "But even so, we have been swallowed up by their grand system. Because we are lagging behind, because we cannot keep up with their pace."

"So, you're willing to be 'gently' controlled by them like this?"

Shadowsun sneered, "This is your loyalty to the Tau Empire. I see you are being controlled by the Federation."

“If we don’t join, we’ll be left behind.”

Anwar said calmly, "And if we become a part of them, the ideals of the Greater Good can truly continue."

Yingyang's fingers tightened slightly, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Anwa's forehead, but she couldn't pull the trigger.

She knew that this shot was meaningless. In the end, she could only slowly put the gun down.

Ai'anwa then held out his hand.

"Obey my orders, Xia Siou, and you will understand what I have seen."

Shadowsun wanted to shoot, but she knew it would be useless, so she took the Aether Master's hand, and the Federation's combined mind network began to tell him everything the Federation was thinking.

When Yingyang came to his senses, he found that he could hardly breathe because the feeling was too great and unbearable.

"You can feel it, that's their grand vision."

Ai Anwa added.

"That grand plan will not be hindered by anyone. We must walk alongside it, for even standing by and watching is an obstacle that must be cleared. The Tau must closely follow the path of ascension."

Yingyang was filled with mixed emotions as she looked at this Ai synth who looked exactly like Anwa. She was just a warrior, a general who had been trained to serve the Tau Empire since childhood. Things about the future and grand plans were not something she should consider.

So she had no answer, and finally she said, "May you remain wise, Master."

Then, with a tangled heart, he left the courtyard of the Ether Mentor.

"Among the three of you, she's the most loyal and the most rigid. I...oh, that's how Qingxi describes her."

Ai Qingxi looked at Yingyang's back and said so.

“The future is pressing us all. The world has changed and the old ways are no longer relevant.”

Ai Anwa said so.

The galaxy is unleashed, and the Tau must charge forward to keep up.

Chapter 163 Son of God.

It has to be said that in terms of infrastructure alone, the Tau are much better than the Empire.

With just a few modifications, the many worlds of the Tau Empire could achieve the same massive production capacity as the Federation headquarters.

Although the Tau also have many problems within themselves. For example, they are closed to the theory of psionic energy; their flawed management style has led to the religiousization of humanity's understanding of the Greater Good and the creation of a psionic entity; and their allies, such as the Kroot, who are not entirely reliable on many issues.

But these can be overcome. With the deep participation of the Titans, the governors of the Helka Federation can finally begin to discuss the ideal they have always had.

That is to establish a broad interstellar community, a semi-managerial union covering the galactic area we control, in which each member of the interstellar community can vote on resolutions that affect all other member states.

Going further, we can start discussing the direct reorganization of this community into a Star Sea Republic with deep participation from all states.

However, the relevant actions still need some time to prepare, so another issue needs to be discussed first.

……

Federation scientists recently succeeded in obtaining the "goods" that were originally traded with Trazyn the Infinite: a clone of Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor's Children Space Marine Legion who defected to Chaos.

Researchers from the Helka Confederation conducted a series of sophisticated experiments on the "cargo" they had acquired from Trazyn. As a son of the Emperor of Mankind and the legendary Primarch, Fulgrim's clone undoubtedly possessed exceptionally high physical attributes. His muscle strength, bone density, and nerve reflexes far surpassed those of the average human, surpassing even the Federation's most elite gene-warriors.

Disappointingly, these data, while astonishing, still fell far short of the Federation's expectations. The Federation's military scientists had initially envisioned these Primarchs as ideal warriors, cloned en masse to supplement the Federation's combat power.

However, actual testing results forced them to abandon this idea. Although Fulgrim's clones were impeccable on an organic level, the cost of their combat effectiveness was too high compared to the mechanized armies of the Helka Confederation.

Creating a cloned Primarch requires a significant amount of resources, while an advanced combat omnic can provide even greater combat effectiveness at a lower cost.

In terms of individual combat capability, Fulgrim's clone may be able to crush most mortal warriors, but when faced with the modern warfare system, his role is minimal.

However, considering that the Emperor of Mankind was an extremely powerful psyker, the Confederacy believed that the secrets of the Primarchs might lie in their souls.

So they awakened Fulgrim's clones, began negotiations with him, and began to record the effects of his psychic fluctuations.

……

The awakened clone of the original body was horrified by the situation and tried to resist, but unfortunately his cage was specially made and he had no chance of success.
