I'm a magnetic field madman

In other words, they possess the ability to strike most worlds within the entire galaxy with absolute precision and absolute safety.

At the very least, the Eldar clearly possess a network that leads directly to the moon...

This means that their fleet is fully capable of easily bypassing the Solar Navy and advancing straight into Terra.

Guilliman estimated the consequences if the human empire were to go to war with this newly rebuilt Eldar empire—

It's not pleasant; they will undoubtedly win...

But the cost and damage will even exceed the losses caused by the Horus Rebellion...

This is no joke. In fact, the greatest stroke of luck that humanity faced during the Great Crusade was the Eldar's own demise.

If, during the thousand years following the great fall of the Eldar, there had been a relatively intact force that was hostile to the human empire, the difficulties of their Great Expedition would have been doubled.

The advantages that the Web Dao can bring are unmatched by humans trapped in warp travel... Even the space necromancers and star gods of yesteryear were tormented to the point of near death by the ancient saints' Web Dao.

This is an unacceptable loss!

At least until humanity has eliminated the other major enemies in the galaxy, the losses from a war with the Eldar are absolutely unacceptable!

After assessing the strength and resources of this newly formed Eldar empire, Guilliman also began to evaluate their political stance.

Compared to the current state of the human empire across the galaxy...

This new Eldar empire is attempting to embrace other races with a more open approach.

According to Chagatai, after the Comoros Rebellion, the Eldar supported an Aetheric class named Ams, helped him return to the Tau people's home planet, and carried out a two-and-a-half-year coup there!

Ammonium, along with the Visionary Enclave and his supporting soldiers, purged most of the Aetheric Class, killed the Supreme Ruler "Lord of the Eternal Spirits" Ammonium, and seized complete control of the supreme power of the planet Tau...

And thus announced that the Tau people and their allied races had formed an alliance with the Eldar Empire.

Although it is called an alliance, it is essentially a disguised "servant race". In this newly formed group called the Star Covenant, the Eldar occupy the highest-ranking position... while the other alien races are all a lower level concept.

However, this does not represent absolute suppression of social status, but rather a symbol of power and status within this covenant system.

The Eldar have a highest social class, and correspondingly, they have the obligation to send troops to uphold the covenant with the other races.

This franchise system reminded Guilliman of very bad memories.

The only alien empire during the Great Crusade that posed a threat to human power was "Randan"...

It is an alien empire similar to the Covenant, controlled behind the scenes by the worm-like alien Slothians.

Randan was so powerful that he could reduce Leon's First Legion to less than one-tenth of its strength in a direct confrontation... and then completely annihilate one of Guilliman's forgotten brothers and his legion...

Of course, there are also huge differences between the Eldar and the Covenant. First of all, the Slothians are incomprehensible and almost impossible to communicate with, but the Eldar can.

Moreover, Ran Dan controls other alien races more through their abilities than through a membership system like the Star Alliance.

Even at their peak, Eldar and humans didn't actually have any irreconcilable conflicts. Eldar's territory was entirely built on the Webpath, and most of their lost lands were within the Eye of Fear—even if the Empire returned, they would be more inclined to rebuild their nation in the old places.

They don't need to, nor do they have that many people, compete with the human empire for living space in the galaxy. As long as there is no unnecessary conflict of interest between them, they can certainly talk.

But other races in the Covenant are not necessarily like that; those alien races, such as the Tau, all have their own planets and colonies.

Although they had taken root and extended their civilization, those places were inherently human territory in the face of an unreasonable empire...

The Empire never minces words when it comes to occupying alien planets, but if you insist on giving a reason, then the Empire will have to have a serious talk with you about the issue of human territory in the dark age of technology.

It's incredibly unreasonable and downright thuggish, but these ideas and actions have long been deeply ingrained in the core of the empire's governing philosophy.

Guilliman couldn't judge whether the Covenant was good or bad, but there was no doubt that... the Covenant's existence would be a huge obstacle to the future human empire...

The destructive power of a group of Xenomorphs is completely incomparable to that of a scattered Xenomorph... Even individual Xenomorph races, which may be less than titanium, can bite off a piece of flesh from the half-dead Empire when they come together!

"The Empire can form an alliance with the Eldar, but there is absolutely no possibility of cooperation with any Xenomorphs that cross the Empire's bottom line. This is the Empire's bottom line, and humanity's bottom line! We will never forgive any Xenomorph that has enslaved or betrayed humanity!"

Guilliman stated his bottom line: he could tolerate aliens...

However, there is absolutely no room for negotiation when it comes to aliens that have committed unforgivable sins against humanity.

"Hypocritical bastard, the number of humans who have gone extinct over the past ten thousand years is millions of times greater than the number of humans who have died," Jain Zal coldly mocked.

"We're all in the same boat, just fighting for our respective races," Guilliman said calmly.

“Yes, in fact, the Covenant pays special attention to whether a race has an irreconcilable, one-sided blood feud with the Human Empire when reviewing applications for membership,” Eldrad said in a clear, ethereal voice, his arms crossed.

"The races that join the Star Covenant are mostly those who, like the Tau, have had conflicts with humanity, but not to the death. And as for uniting with these races, are you, the future Regent of the Human Empire, prepared?"

"I will do my best to promote stability for all parties," Guilliman said after a moment of silence...

"In addition to the peace agreement, the joint expedition against the Eye of Fear that we must launch must be put on the agenda."

This is the core of Guilliman's diplomacy; taking down the Eye of Fear is of paramount importance, rather than addressing potential territorial issues in the future.

Wipe out the Black Legion, and at the same time kill all those traitors who should have died ten thousand years ago!

This is the most important thing for Guilliman. By doing this, he can minimize the influence of Chaos on the mortal world and reduce the bleeding of the Empire.

“We would certainly be happy to, and if a cooperation can be reached, lending you the Internet wouldn’t be out of the question,” Eldrad said softly.

"Even if your emperor were to awaken and show enough goodwill to lease a portion of the network to humans... that wouldn't be out of the question."

The words were full of temptation, but even knowing that it was a bait that was hard to swallow and dangerous to swallow, Guilliman still felt a desire and a craving.

The Emperor's departure from the front lines and return to Terra was one of the main reasons for Horus's fall... and all he sought was a web path belonging to humanity.

And now, if the Eldar could rent their network...

This is a temptation that is hard for humans to resist, but Guilliman knew that this bait must be poisonous.

If they truly become completely dependent on the internet, will humanity's future be controlled by them?

Guilliman remained silent, but countless factors of political struggle flashed through his mind.

He then spoke, preparing to continue discussing other matters—

There are still many, many things to discuss, and even the matter of treating myself can be completely postponed.

But some people clearly couldn't wait any longer.

With a deafening explosion, the dome of the Eternal Council was instantly shattered!

Bai Qianshuang descended along with a beam of emerald light from a lighthouse!

The Eternal King of Eldar stood on the sacred table of the council... yet none of the attendees uttered a single word.

Eldrad sighed, but could only resign himself to his fate and say...

"Your Majesty, this is the Primarch of the Human Empire, the future Regent Robert Guilliman..."

“I know him, of course I know him.”

Bai Qianshuang looked at the famous "Thirteenth Prince" with great interest, and rubbed her chin playfully, saying...

"I heard you're having an affair with Evelyn, is that true?"

"..." Guilliman was at a loss for words. He had imagined many scenarios of meeting this legendary supreme leader of the Eldar Empire, but there was absolutely no such thing as it.

However, Chagatai had already spoken to Guilliman beforehand.

Bai Qianshuang, like Blood Shark, is a "human," but most importantly, he is also a magnetic field madman.

"Heh, let me see how your Second Empire technique is? Or, something like Ultimate Evil God would also be acceptable..."

Bai Qianshuang continued to tease Guilliman playfully... but through his body, a beam of emerald green light suddenly shot into the sky.

The members of the Eternal Council knelt respectfully on one knee toward the light, which was the will of the Mother Goddess Isha!

At the same time, a golden flame also burst forth from Guilliman's body and rose into the sky... And the moment it separated from Guilliman, a strong poison and excruciating pain amplified Guilliman's discomfort a thousandfold.

He was sweating profusely and clenched his teeth, determined not to lose face.

Upon seeing this, Chagatai immediately injected the panacea into Guilliman's body to temporarily suppress the deadly poison of the plague.

Above the sky, the intertwined golden and green light signifies the meeting of two deities.

The Mother Goddess, formed from pure light of life, wore a sorrowful expression... and before her, the cold, golden sun also formed an illusory figure.

"Can't the Lord of Humanity negotiate?"

Isa gazed at the emperor before her, the loving mother goddess pleading, tears falling from her eyes transforming into hardened soul stones…

"No." The Emperor rejected Isa's plea with utter coldness.

"The gods are a plague to mortals. If you truly love your people, then follow the path."

"Isa, the gods of the Spirit Race will never allow her to return to the mortal realm!"

127. The Emperor and Isaac

Are the Eldar gods powerful?

Of course, it's undeniably strong!

You might think that the Eldar gods who were crushed by a Slaanesh are not very prestigious... but that only refers to those gods at the end of the Eldar Empire.

Having lost their faith and no longer revered by the Eldar, while Slaanesh has been nourished by the Eldar Empire's countless years of indulgence, it would be abnormal for Slaanesh not to destroy the Eldar gods amidst such a rise and fall!

Even so, Slaanesh was caught in a tug-of-war with Kane at the time, and Kane even had some chances to win.

During the period when the Eldar gods were at their most powerful, which was the time of the War of Heaven, their power projected onto the mortal realm was even more magnificent than that of the Four Gods!

At least for the Four Gods, their method of collecting debts from the shameless Emperor was to use Horus to incite a great rebellion in the mortal realm, thereby shattering the empire and forcing the Emperor to become a god. But the ancient Eldar gods fought each other, and they were always truly involved in the battles themselves!

Kane himself single-handedly severely injured a Nightbringer who could easily steal a life force of light-years, and Asuyan, the Eldar god-king, was even more powerful—

He pulled up nine stars, lined them up, and then detonated them all at once, triggering a chain of supernova explosions!

Compared to Asuyan's peak, the Four Gods' performance in the physical universe can be described as mediocre.

Of course, strength itself cannot be calculated so simply... after all, the Four Gods and the Spirit Race Gods are deities of different natures.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Spirit Race gods possess the potential to become a major threat to humanity.

The Emperor would never allow the return of the Spirit Race gods.

Even a benevolent goddess like Isa was still a huge threat to the Emperor, no less than the Chaos God.

Because as long as she exists, the Emperor himself will have to deal with the troublesome Goddess of Life, not to mention that she will have Naguru standing behind her!

As for the Grim Reaper Jena, the Emperor didn't care, because his situation was very similar to the Emperor's.

The moment Death was born, his very nature dictated that he would wage an endless war against Slaanesh.

Just like if the Emperor became the Dark Lord, he would definitely wage a war against the four evil gods to the death.

"We and humanity will not become enemies!" Isa exclaimed excitedly.

“Our race has the potential for fusion. If the Eldar and humans join forces, and the gods of the Pantheon return to ally with you! We can defeat the Chaos God, and then—”

"I don't believe you!" the Emperor interrupted Isha, speaking coldly...

“Isa, your kind did things millions of years ago that do not deserve my trust. Even your own kind, the race that reveres you, you still regard as ants and playthings.”

"Asuyan doesn't care about the life or death of the Spirit Race at all. He holds high the Heavenly Fire and will only coldly watch all things perish!"

"To Kane, the Eldar are nothing but disgusting and threatening puppets; he himself is instigating a wave of Eldar slaughter!"

"Lilith viewed the Eldar as a flock of lost sheep, yet she maliciously toyed with them with the mindset of a mischievous child!"

“Even you, Isha! Your love for Eldar is nothing but unrestrained indulgence. It is your tolerance and leniency towards them that has allowed the birth of Slaanesh—you are the mother of Slaanesh!!”

The emerald green psionic energy forming the goddess's dotted lines swayed slightly. The Lord of Humanity's cold evaluation pained Isa, but it was indeed a fact.

The components that make up Isha are different from Kane's. Isha herself comes from a combination of the qualities of the Ancient Saints and the Eldar's concentrated faith... so in every respect she is the "mother" of the Eldar.

And her personality is just as the Emperor said, she has an unlimited love for the Spirit Race.

This love differs from the cold indifference of the Lord of Humanity, which equates to loving no one. Isa's doting affection for the Elven race led her to grant them eternal life...

Even death is nothing more than entering an infinite loop and being reborn without any loss!

It was precisely because Isa instilled in the Eldar this boundless disregard for consequences that their social atmosphere later became so degenerate.

Because if no atrocities bring negative consequences and any cruel acts are ultimately forgiven, then depravity is an outcome that almost any race would choose.

Comfort breeds decadence, and isn't this true of humanity as well?

The thousands of years of peace following the Horus Rebellion had corrupted the Highlords and Terra to an extreme degree... A mere battle on the scale of the War of the Beasts nearly disintegrated the entire Empire!

If Isha's grace had been bestowed upon humanity, even the Emperor couldn't imagine how low humanity would have fallen—

If mere worldly power can turn some people into devils, then the preferential treatment given to the Spirit Race is simply unimaginable!
