Warhammer: I don’t want to become an evil god!!

"Never forget my father's lesson, the saint. He acted recklessly and gambled everything, which led to the complete collapse of the situation."

Qin Yun nodded, indicating that he had heeded the Primarch's advice.

"The internet is only one part of the rise of humanity, not the whole of it."

"I won't go all in on the Internet project."

"The Human Empire will always put humanity first, and any technology will only be used to help humanity live a happier life in this dark universe."

The Internet Project was once the Emperor's most valued project.

He believed that as long as the Web existed, humanity could escape the Subspace and gain the opportunity for salvation and ascension.

The Great Expedition and the establishment of the Empire were merely things the Emperor did to develop the online world.

The purpose is simple: to build a network to integrate the resources of all mankind and prevent anyone from causing sabotage.

The emperor never cared about the empire at all; he treated it purely as a tool, intending to abandon it once he was done with it.

Horus was worried that his father hadn't reserved a place for him in the human empire.

This idea is completely unnecessary.

Because there were simply no seats available; no one had a place.

This is also why human empires have so many drawbacks and problems.

Because it was never the primary purpose from the beginning, but rather a tool, a process.

The internet is the result the emperor wanted.

Qin Yun questioned the Emperor's idea that everything would be fine if he just ran an online guild.

The Ancient Spirit Empire also possessed the Net Path, yet it still met a tragic end, and even gave rise to the Slaanesh.

Going back further in time, another race that possessed the Internet of Things yet still went extinct was the Ancient Saints.

The net was created and built by the ancient sages.

They also sowed the seeds of most life in the galaxy.

They are as powerful and wise as gods.

In the end, it was still destroyed by the Star Gods and the out-of-control subspace creatures.

There will always be enemies of one kind or another in this universe.

Does having internet access really mean you can rest easy?

Even if humanity becomes the most powerful civilization in the galaxy, can it truly continue to exist peacefully forever?

The Milky Way is just a remote corner of the universe.

Outside, there are countless other star systems, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda Galaxy.

Even if humanity completely conquers the galaxy,

Who knows what terrifying things might exist beyond the Milky Way?

If the Tyranids can come to the galaxy, why can't the next hostile race to the galaxy come?

Any attempt to solve all problems once and for all will ultimately backfire.

The key to the continuation of a civilization lies in always remaining vigilant and prepared.

Qin Yun's initial motivation for repairing the network was simply to reduce the costs of the empire's commercial trade.

To give the Imperial army greater mobility

It's not some grand project that would allow humanity to rest easy!

Therefore, Qin Yun will not pour all his resources into the Internet Dao project, nor will he put the cart before the horse and push the empire into an abyss of no return for the sake of Internet Dao.

All technology and engineering should serve humanity and the empire.

Rather than the human empire serving a particular project or engineering endeavor.

This approach is completely putting the cart before the horse, only adding to the suffering of the vast majority of the empire's people.

“I hope you will remember my words today, Saint,” Guilliman said. “If we go astray again, human civilization may truly be heading towards destruction.”

"Regent, I have always believed in one thing."

"What?"

Qin Yun's words aroused Guilliman's curiosity.

"That is to give civilization to the years, rather than giving the years to civilization. The future is uncertain, and the only thing we can do is to seize the present."

"No one can truly control the future; doing the present well is the most important thing."

Guilliman, as the Primarch, also possessed astonishing talent and accomplishments in the field of literature.

He easily understood Qin Yun's words about time and civilization, and even empathized with them.

Over the past ten thousand years,

While chaos and aliens may have played a role, the Empire itself also went down the wrong path.

When Guilliman awoke and learned of the Empire's current state, he was filled with despair.

He would rather the empire his father built had been replaced by someone else.

They also did not want to see the absurd actions taken by the people of the Empire in order to prolong the Empire.

They lived purely for the sake of survival, completely abandoning the vitality and dynamism that civilization should possess.

After reaching a consensus, the two discussed the details.

Several hours later, the two sides closed the communication and ended the conversation.

……

In the communications room of Macurag,

"Give civilization to time, rather than time to civilization."

Guilliman stared intently at the gradually dimming communication interface, repeating to himself the words the saint had just spoken.

This statement was like a scalpel, precisely pinpointing the empire's weaknesses.

The empire can no longer operate as it did before, resorting to any means necessary to survive, excessively sacrificing the interests of the lower classes, and treating everyone as a tool.

Human Empire, humans in front, empire behind.

One day, sacrificing the empire for the benefit of humanity would be perfectly justifiable.

Humanity must never be sacrificed for the sake of the empire's survival.

At that moment, Guilliman suddenly thought of something else.

"Sacrifice the Empire for humanity!!"

"Could it be that the Sage intends to replace my father and establish the Third Human Empire?"

"It's a pity Ryan isn't here, otherwise we could have regained our former glory."

Guilliman stroked his chin, lamenting Ryan's absence.

If the sage truly decides to abandon the empire established by his father and build a third empire...

Guilliman would not only not object, but would wholeheartedly support it.

Moreover, his opposition might not even be effective.

The emperor bestowed so many blessings upon the sage, even more favorably upon his own son.

They probably also wanted the sage to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the empire.

Overthrowing everything old and rebuilding a brand new empire might very well be the emperor's idea.

"Now that the Sage has conquered Comoros, once the project to repair the network is completed, the strength of the Human Empire will surely rise again."

"At this rate, it will be only a matter of time before the four Chaos Gods are driven out and peace is restored to the Milky Way."

"After the war is over, I will go to farm and then handcraft a ship to travel through the universe."

Guilliman couldn't help but fantasize about his wonderful future life.

Anyone who desires power should strive for it and fight for it.

Anyway, he doesn't like it.

The universe is so vast, yet I have never been able to see it in my lifetime. Isn't that a regret?

As for why it's called the Third Human Empire...

It is definitely not because he once established a second human empire.

Rather, it was the human empire created by the emperor, which was essentially the second human interstellar regime.

………………

The Battle of Comoros.

“WAAAGH”.

The old captain, the leader of the orcs, roared.

The terrifying sound was like thunder, making the entire city of Comoros rumble.

The old captain was originally an ordinary orc under the command of the raiders—Grod.

Wherever the boss tells him to go, he goes, grabbing whatever he sees, blowing the heads off the enemies, and having a good time.

Until one day, they went to war with humans.

Grod, the leader, had his head chopped off by those traitorous bastards.

The old captain seized the opportunity to defeat his competitors and became the new leader, continuing to lead his crew in the galaxy of WAAAGH.

As time went on, his body grew larger and more resilient.

Originally, the old captain planned to find the two well-known big bosses, the Bonebreaker and the Arsonist, and join them in launching an even grander WAAAGH expedition.

However, under the guidance of Brother Mao, they arrived at the intricate battlefield of the online world.

However, it's quite nice here.

Fighting those shrimps is so much fun!

Those shrimps produced quite a few good things.

The cans also became bigger and more powerful.

There are also various flying Gungat.

All of this made the old captain WAAAGH.

He kept calling for the other orcs to come here.

"Hey guys, charge! Take those shrimps!"

The old captain shouted, waving his hand to signal the boys to jump off the warship and fight the shrimp on land.

Then, the old captain jumped down as well.

As soon as he landed, he grabbed an exaggerated machete and chopped down several shrimp.

"Have all the shrimps gotten rich these days? They're all dressed so well, and they all look like canned goods, just different sizes."

The old captain had fought with shrimp from other places before, but those shrimp were nowhere near as well-equipped as the shrimp before him.

Those poor shrimp only have laser guns and shells.

These shrimps in front of us are all encased in thick armor, with buzzing drones assisting them.

This fighting style is very similar to the blue-skinned enemies the old captain used to encounter, but the firepower is much stronger and the close combat ability is also more powerful than those blue-skinned enemies.

He lifted his foot, then stomped down hard, crushing the head of a shrimp.

A winged shrimp carrying several large cans of shrimp landed in front of the old captain, stopping him from continuing his killing spree.

"WAAAGH!!"

"Kids, charge! Chop these giant cans to pieces!!"

The old captain became excited when he saw the shrimp and ran towards them while shouting.
