Chapter 98 Departure to Terra
"Then let's choose Luojia!"
After multiple rounds of consultations among Primarch Magnus of the Thousand Sons, Primarch Horus of the Shadowmoon Wolves, Chief Primarch Livy of the Thousand Sons, and Primarch Macard of the Empire, the Word Bearers Primarch, Loka, who was absolutely loyal to the Emperor, was finally chosen as the first Primarch to be recalled to Terra.
After all, Loka has been gaining momentum in recent years, and all the Primarchs have been persuaded and harassed by this figure who is practically a pope in the Imperial faith system.
Although Horus and Magnus, who were present, had both been persuaded by him, they genuinely felt the transformative change in Luo Jia and his heartfelt and sincere worship of the emperor.
In truth, Magnus and Horus believed from the bottom of their hearts that their brother, the Primarch of the Word Bearers, was just a madman blinded by fanatical faith, a fanatic who blindly worshipped the Emperor.
But now they need this most loyal fanatic to stand by them, to make this son who is absolutely loyal to the emperor the first to stand on their side and stabilize the situation.
The four present need to bring in more Primarchs to stabilize the Empire's situation.
In fact, both Macardo and Levi, who were present, knew that the crisis of the Emperor falling into slumber was not due to the various departments of Terra being out of control, nor was it due to the Mechanicus breaking the sacred covenant and declaring independence.
The real core crisis was something that neither Macard nor Levi mentioned, as the Emperor's two sons were also present. In fact, Magnus and Horus were also well aware that if news of the Emperor's death were to leak out, the greatest crisis for the Empire would be that of the Emperor's sons.
Not only because each Astartes Legion is incredibly powerful, but also because each Primarch possesses extraordinary strength, charismatic personality, and commands immense influence.
If the emperor's children learn that the emperor has fallen into a deep sleep, they may declare independence, usurp the power of the empire, or commit treason by overthrowing the emperor and establishing themselves as emperors, which would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire empire.
Therefore, the four of them need to win over and unite more Primarchs to stabilize the situation and safeguard the foundation of the human empire.
However, all of this must be done after they return to Terra, firmly grasp power, and gain sufficient influence before they can slowly select trustworthy imperial heirs and reveal the truth about the emperor's slumber.
The four's most pressing task right now is to bring the Thousand Sons Legion, the Shadowmoon Wolf Legion, and the Emperor's main expeditionary fleet back to Terra intact.
With sufficient military strength, Horus, the interim ruler appointed by the Emperor, could firmly control Terra and deal with the potential unrest that might erupt after other Primarchs learned the truth.
The following week.
After the Ultramarines took full control of the Ulanor campaign, the Thousand Sons Legion and the Shadowmoon Wolf Legion, along with the Emperor's main expeditionary fleet, quickly withdrew, tearing open the veil of the real universe one after another, and sailing into the warp to return home.
As for the Imperial Dream...
They would only set sail slowly after all the combat fleets had withdrawn.
Although Li Wei and his party were eager to return home and knew that time was of the essence, they could not rush things.
First, it was illogical for the Thousand Sons Legion and the Shadow Moon Wolf to accompany the Emperor on his return journey.
Secondly, no matter how anxious one is, the emperor's dignity must not be compromised, and he must not show any sign of haste; he must also put on a good show.
Moreover, the wise and prudent Macardo had specifically instructed that it should be done as quickly as possible, but without losing face or disgracing the Emperor, so as not to arouse suspicion among the various departments of the Empire, spread rumors, or cause other Astartes legions to sense something amiss, thus becoming suspicious, discovering the truth, and causing unnecessary turmoil.
half a month later.
Within the dark and boundless subspace.
The turbulent energy flow in the warp was suddenly torn apart, and a massive fleet painted in pale white, scarlet, and gold supported the Geller force field, which glowed with a pale blue light, and sailed steadily in the depths of the warp.
On the Imperial Dream.
In a sealed cultivation chamber, the floor was covered with intricate spiritual energy support arrays.
The company commander and the original gene of the Legion of the Thousand Sons were all sitting cross-legged according to the orientation of the Mandala Spirit Gathering Array.
Li Wei, who was located at the center of the array and was radiating golden spiritual energy, looked unusually pale under the golden light, as if he was suffering from exhaustion of spiritual energy.
He was extracting the pure psychic energy from each of the Thousand Sons Company Commanders and Magnus, and then integrating it into his own psychic origin. Using a unique method inherited from the Emperor's essence, he was replenishing the energy fuel needed by the Star Torch with an extremely secretive psychic technique.
Li Wei initially intended to maintain the supply of Star Torch solely through his own psychic powers, but after only a few days, his psychic power could no longer sustain it, and he could only rely on the psychic power of Magnus and the various fraternity leaders.
Of course, the various guild leaders did not know what Levi was using their psychic powers for. It was not that Magnus and Levi did not trust them, but with so many people involved, they could not reveal even a little bit to prevent any accidents.
After a long while, Li Wei, whose spiritual energy was exhausted, slowly withdrew his spiritual power and weakly said, "Alright, everyone, Archmage, today's mission is over."
As soon as the words were spoken, the company commanders of each academy stood up, bowed to their respective ancestral bodies and chiefs to take their leave, and then skillfully pushed open the door of the secret room and walked out one by one.
A moment later, only Magnus and the weak-looking Livy remained in the secret room.
Magnus looked at Levi's pale face, sighed, and said with guilt, "Levi, you've really had a hard time. It's also my fault for not being able to learn Star Torch's psionic secrets, leaving you to bear it all alone."
He paused, then comforted her, "Once we get back to Terra, we won't have to go through all this trouble. After all, this place is too far from the origin of the Star Torch, and most of the psionic energy is wasted on spatial transmission."
"It's nothing." Li Wei, his breath weak, waved his hand and forced a smile. "I hope to get back soon. The future that my Black Raven School divines is always shrouded in darkness, filled with unease and misfortune."
Ever since he accepted a part of the Emperor's essence, the Black Raven School's psionic secrets have been triggering uncontrollably, showing him fragmented visions of the future.
Li Wei did not trust prophecies about the future, but every few days, dark visions of the future would appear on their own, a torment that no one could bear.
More importantly, the Black Crow School's prophecies were merely abstract and vague images and fragments, and Livy was unable to accurately judge the specific crises, which was the root of Livy's troubles.
After all, telling you that the future is extremely dangerous, but without explaining the specifics, is the most nerve-wracking thing.
"Hmm..." Magnus patted Levi on the shoulder, comforting him, "It'll be over soon. There's only one month left of the journey. These days will be coming to an end soon."
