The Astartes Family's Notebook

Warp - Baidu Translate

v. to twist, deform; to bend; to make perverse; to make (behavior, etc.) irrational;

n. (on a loom) warp threads, warp yarns.

I'm sorry for the incompetent but considerate help; I just searched it on Baidu for you. You're welcome.

So, for things like the Sea of ​​Souls and the Supreme Heaven, GW should give a bow to the subsequent authors and two bows to the translation team.

According to later additions, GW has a very interesting description about the subspace and the real universe.

It is said that there are two main viewpoints among the psionic researchers of the Empire. One is that the warp and the real universe are mirror images of each other.

Secondly, there are two other interpretations. One is that the subspace is merely a demiplane that exists within the real universe and cannot exist independently. In short, the subspace is an abstract world based on the real universe. The other is that the Milky Way is just a bubble floating in the subspace.

On a side note, the rise and fall of Japanese anime actually reflects the predicament of the British.

Rhodes Island's achievements, Cowboy Bebop, and Satoshi Kon's masterpieces—in an era of economic prosperity, minds were also open. As JoJo 2018 aptly put it, the anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage, and the Golden Spirit is a reflection on "humanity." Any philosophy that departs from this fundamental foundation is nothing but empty whining.

I've gone off on a tangent. There are just too many flaws in GW, and once I start complaining, I can't stop.

Let's return to the topic of subspace.

First, we need to consider a question: what are the four warp vendors fighting over in their so-called Great Game?

This is why the author incompetently mentions "The Sun and the Moon Are Wrong Together" at the beginning; what they are fighting for is the right to survive.

Regardless of how much the Great War retconned, one thing is certain: before the War of Heaven, if the Ancient Ones of Spring did not speak, which warp toad would dare to utter a sound?

In the novels related to the War of Heaven, it is explicitly mentioned that the Ancient Ones did not initially use the power of the warp to fight against the Star Gods.

It was only after the Star Gods turned the Fearless Ones into space undead that the Ancient Ones suffered a complete defeat in the real universe, and began to launch a large-scale targeted counterattack by taking advantage of the Star Gods' inability to effectively utilize the warp.

The gods of the Eldar were born during this period.

The gods of the Eldar, such as the Phoenix King Asuyan, are definitely not purely subspace beings; they have physical forms.

Although the War of Heaven stirred up the Warp, after the War of Heaven ended, it was basically a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Whether you say the Necromancers won or the Eldar won, GW deliberately left things ambiguous, retconned, and left things unclear. There's no need for Warface fans to argue. Before the next retcon, the latest official statement is that the Necromancers won.

Because the Necromancers, who dismembered the Star Gods to use as batteries, had transcended the laws of physics, the Eldar could only hide in the Web of the Necromancers and eke out a living.

Then the Silent King began to act as a reflective monster.

From the moment the master control agreement was lifted, the Necromancer in space had already effectively split apart; the subsequent dormancy was just a load of nonsense.

Regardless of what the space necromancers think, the next tens of millions of years will belong to the Eldarin race.

Undeniably, it was the Aidalings who reshaped the Milky Way, and Phoenix King Asuyan, as the adopted son of the Old Ones and a Level 2 administrator of the Warp, made a tremendous contribution.

However, the Eldar's dominant position came too easily. Asuyan was not an ancient saint after all. The Eldar's tens of millions of years of glory had made them insatiable, and they had completely ruined the Warp.

Therefore, there is an unfounded claim that Slaanesh is actually Asuyan, or at least a part of Asuyan.

Asuyan couldn't handle the mess in the warp anymore, so he used the birth of the Slaanesh to format the warp like a C drive. The Eye of Fear is essentially a pressure relief valve.

The unfolding of the large rift was actually the second pressure relief action by the four vendors.

Otherwise, the subspace where the pressure cooker is used to cook poop will explode again.

Once you understand this fundamental premise, it's not hard to understand what a great game is.

Those who have owned a PSP should be familiar with the concept of flashing the firmware.

The Chaos Eight Winds, also known as the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star, is not an inherent concept of the subspace, but rather a virtual access control program created by the four Chaos Gods to more efficiently control the subspace.

Otherwise, why would none of the four vendors be willing to take the proper position? Is it because they are humble?

Before the Eldar's great fall, neither Tzeentch, Khorne, nor Nurgle dared to raise their voices at the Eldar gods with physical bodies, because the Eldar at their peak were truly capable of blocking the door of these three in the Warp.

When the overall environment deteriorates, even the true gods of the warp cannot escape it. The power of the Chaos God mainly originates from the projection of the ideological trends stirred up by intelligent races in the real universe onto the warp.

So, just like in the game of Tengxun, the power of the four hawkers is their life; a lack of power means a thin existence.

Although the Chaos God exists simultaneously in the past, present, and future.

But being difficult to kill doesn't mean it's impossible to kill.

If we erase their existence in the past, present, and future, the four street vendors will also disappear.

Yuan Tong, the guy with the big eyes, his vision is twenty years ahead of GW...

The mental state of the gods in Deep Sea Embers is roughly a profile of the four peddlers.

Therefore, although the Four Vendors seemed invincible, they dared not extend their reach too far. Not to mention the Heavenly War where the ancient saints still existed, even in the era when Asuyan and his group of spirit gods were still active, the Four Vendors could only act as gods with their backsides closed.

The warp is the warp of the Old Ones, and even Tzeentch wouldn't dare claim to have omniscience about it.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been the incident of Carlos the Weaver of Fate being pushed into the Well of Eternity.

Later official novels also describe how, before the Emperor left the mountain, he went to a mysterious temple in the Warp that even the four peddlers couldn't find, made a deal with twenty Warp lesser gods, and then returned to Holy Terra to rebuild the shattered land.

There is a causal fallacy here, but that's how it's written in the novel. The warp nature of the Primarchs came first, and then came the seven hundred years of Terra Wars and the Astartes Project. Essentially, it was about finding bodies that could contain the power of those twenty warp minor gods.

The Emperor received angel round venture capital from the Four Peddlers at the beginning of the plan, so the Weasel knew from the start that, according to the agreement, half of the Primarchs would betray him.

This is also why his attitude toward certain Primarchs is a mystery.

The Emperor, this biological father, it's unknown which nine offspring will ultimately betray him.

Let me give you a little spoiler.

Anyone who has played the FF7 remake should know that almost everyone was dissatisfied with the original FF7's ending.

That's why we have this story of everyone joining forces to reverse cause and effect and the timeline, and let's fight again.

The same outcome was achieved by the four peddlers' rebellion against Horus.

Let's not even mention the high-rarity SSR cards like Angels. Who doesn't like Archangels? So even the four vendors couldn't come to a conclusion. The pseudo-scripture "The Great Rebellion of Saint Gillespie" couldn't pass the review of the Subspace Publishing House and had to be abandoned.

Thus, Khorne created "The Great Rebellion of Loguedon".

Tzeentch created "The Robert Guilliman Rebellion".

Nagoro wrote The Great Rebellion of Lane Al Johnson.

Slaanesh, the weakest of the four gods, looked at Leman Nus, and then at the dragon lord and the raven king protected by the emperor.

Damn it, this apocryphal scripture is better left unwritten!

Wait a minute, isn't there still the Khan among the loyalists?

Please, GW is the cultural spokesperson for the Angsa bandit gang, how could he possibly let a space Mongol rise to power? Chagatai Khan is an exempt product.

During the cholera pandemic, the cause and effect were reversed. The emperor and those three had fought fiercely. If the emperor had lost, or if the three—Tyranny, Khorne, and Nagore—had determined a victor, then the apocryphal scriptures would have overwritten reality and become official history.

Fighting on behalf of the Emperor is none other than our Golden Words Messenger, Pope Luo Jia!

Luo Jia, Luo Jia, if only you had gritted your teeth back then, your father would have truly loved you to death.

So you understand now, right? All these examples are meant to tell you, fellow readers, what the four gods are fighting over in the Great Game.

They vie for the orthodoxy, for destiny, for power, and for strength.

If one possesses sufficient power to subdue other powerful beings in the subspace, one can alter cause and effect and create a reality that is advantageous to oneself.

Some readers felt that the Battle of Alevia was too long.

But there's no other way. If it didn't involve the struggle between the four Chaos Gods, a small battle every ten or so chapters would be so simple.

But since it involves reversing cause and effect, it can't be done quickly.

Just as the Emperor was collecting fragments of Horus's soul, Tzeentch was also collecting fragments of the Scepter of Fate that he had smashed himself in the Crystal Palace.

Behind Tzeentch's many nonsensical actions lies this purpose.

The three gods' joint selection forced the Lord of Change to shatter his authority. Similarly, if Tzeentch wins against three opponents, he can use this concept to reverse the hatred of the past.

Just like the main text says, during that battle, hide a few more fragments of the Scepter of Destiny right under the noses of the other three companions.

The current state of the Infernal Galaxy dictates that Khorne is now the strongest Chaos God, since all that remains is war.

Unfortunately, even the strongest Khorne today still doesn't have the strength that Tzeentch had when he fought two opponents at once.

The Scepter of Destiny is truly amazing.

Therefore, given the rise of the benevolent father in the M41 era, Khorne would engage in various roundabout ways to gain loyalty.

This was mentioned in the novel *The Return of Guilliman*. If Nurgle's plague swept across the galaxy, and all mortal species were infected, that would be when Nurgle's power was at its strongest. The Father could completely rewrite reality with *The Great Rebellion of Lane Al Johnson*.

Therefore, Slaanesh will remain silent, Tzeentch will reveal nine truths, and Khorne will fight the Tyranids and do everything he can to make things convenient for the Emperor.

Because Nurgle's victory was even more unbearable for the three than the Emperor's gain.

Subspace rituals are filled with various metaphysical concepts.

metaphysics.

So, readers who think about it in conjunction with Titus's short story "Fearless" will understand.

If you admit defeat in the spiritual world, you also lose in the real world.

This applies to Astartes as well as to the four peddlers.

Just like in the game with Alevia, Tzeentch didn't need to actually wipe out all of Nurgle, Khorne, and Slaanesh's demonic armies. The Lord of Change used the fewest chips. As long as he dragged Alevia into the Warp with the other three players present, even if someone flipped the table, because Tzeentch bet the least, he would still lose by a small margin.

Who won? The table won.

Therefore, losing less is considered winning. So, the question is whether you won or not. Since you won against three opponents this time, according to basic metaphysical principles, you can shake the fact that the three gods slapped Him in the face during the election.

By accumulating small wins into a big victory, Tzeentch can completely overturn his past failures.

This is what makes chaos so terrifying.

The supernatural power of causality is truly troublesome.

I'm not trying to start a fight, it's just that the four peddlers in other fanfictions are a bit too kind, just like the Greenskins I think are willing to accept defeat.

Stacking armor again, Wu Neng really isn't trying to start a fight.

If I had written a story with a huge, overpowered protagonist, this book would have performed at least five times better, at the very least.

But it's the path I chose, so I have to finish it no matter how difficult it is.

Thank you to all the readers for subscribing. As one reader commented, this is exactly the kind of book I like.

Since I've chosen this style, I must be responsible to my readers who support me.

This book was never intended to help anyone become a god.

This is a love letter to a fan of ten years, and also a confession of my incompetence. You see, I thought I could update daily, right?

A proper adventure story, I'm writing the next book, stop rushing me, stop rushing me, I'm so anxious I could pee my pants.

Year-End Summary and Warhammer Musings (Part Six)

Wishing all my book lovers a Happy New Year in advance.

The book was published in June, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Compared to the efficiency of writing the three million words in ten years for "The Chronicles of Abnormal Warcraft", I am quite satisfied with the writing speed of one million words in half a year for "The Astartes Family Chronicles".

Please be merciful and speak kindly. Let's present the facts and reason with each other. If we are incompetent and don't use AI assistance or have any assistants, then earning an average of 150,000 to 160,000 yuan per month is really not bad.

When the new book was first released, it only had a little over 900 subscriptions in 24 hours. Now it's almost 2,000, more than doubling, which meets my expectations.

This type of book has less than a million words. Many readers will at most glance at the monthly vote count and add it to their favorites before clicking the red cross in the upper right corner.

This is normal.

By June of next year, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak into the boutique section with an average order value of 3,000.

I'm not saying this to be complacent about my incompetence, but rather to give a work report and summary to the readers who have always supported me.

Don't be fooled by the fact that some incompetent newbies constantly joking about having ten years of work experience; it's actually quite disrespectful.

Writing this book about Warhammer may seem like a breakthrough, but it's really just rehabilitation for incompetence.

How to maintain one's own writing style while adapting to the unique rhythm of online novels? To be honest, waking up in the morning means owing readers 4,000 words, which is similar to driving a taxi. Every day, before doing anything else, you owe the taxi company more than 200 yuan in contract fees, which is commonly known as "franchise fees".

But that's just how online novels are; there's no cure for it.

AI replacing online novel authors is only a matter of time; the progress of technology is terrifying.

You give a paid AI model a set of keywords, and it outputs something more fluent and coherent than you could have imagined. The only drawback is that it feels too much like an AI.

However, these shortcomings will be remedied sooner or later; we should trust science.
