Terra's Great Rebellion??

The spear was entirely black, without any luster, and showed no signs of being a legendary weapon.

The spearhead is triangularly bladed and spirals towards the end.

A lifelike Fire Drake is depicted at the junction of the spear shaft and the shaft.

The spear shaft is covered with scale-like stripes, which increases the grip.

At the end is a Double-Headed Eagle with its wings folded.

Qin Yun reached out and grasped the spear in his hand; it was heavy and substantial.

When held in one's hand, the once dormant spear comes to life.

The jet-black spearhead shimmered with light, like a red-hot iron block, its original dark metal patterns replaced by intricate, ancient scarlet runes.

A feeling of spiritual connection arose in Qin Yun's heart, causing him to smile involuntarily.

He casually swung it in his hand, and it produced a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

The spear was sharper than anyone could have imagined.

"This weapon feels so good to use. I wonder who forged it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light screen appeared, revealing the name of the spear and its forger.

Name: Fang of the Fire Dragon (Legendary)

This is a weapon that a father taught his children to forge, containing immortal power and might.

After returning to the Imperium, Vulkan did not immediately rejoin his legion, but instead stayed by the Emperor's side, where he was personally instructed by the Master of Mankind for several years.

During this period, in addition to knowledge of military strategy, astronomy, geography, and other subjects, the Emperor also taught Vulkan how to forge weapons imbued with mysterious power.

Vulkan hunted down an ancient Fire Drake that lived in lava on the Nocturne.

Its teeth were removed, and various secret metals were combined.

Finally, this spear with terrifying power was forged.

When the Fang of the Fire Dragon is swung, scorching flames rise from the tip of the spear. Its high temperature can melt metal, making it incredibly lethal.

"Hehe, hurry up and use this spear to poke Magnus's one eye and burn Fulgrim's ass."

"Silently recite the enemy's name, then Throwing it, and then..."

"Idiot, of course nothing will happen. You think it's the Gungnir? You big idiot, just hold your weapon and fight."

Upon seeing the last sentence, Qin Yun's smile froze.

That damned Old Man Emperor!!

"Ignore the last sentence and don't let that trash affect your mood."

Qin Yun muttered to himself, refocusing his attention on the spear in his hand.

The information provided by the light screen indicates that this weapon is a legendary weapon forged by Vulkan.

As a master blacksmith within the Primarch, it's not surprising that he forged this weapon.

Qin Yun walked to the open space in the office and began to wield his spear with fluid, graceful movements.

The heavy spear felt weightless in his hands; he wielded it with effortless ease, finding it perfectly comfortable to handle.

The spearhead turned bright red, and flames suddenly rose up, shining brightly.

"It has Fire-tipped Spear feel to it."

Qin Yun muttered something, then grabbed his spear and thrust it out.

A faint, ethereal dragon's roar resounded.

Immediately afterwards, a Fire Drake swept out.

It instantly set several bookshelves in the office ablaze.

Holy crap!

Qin Yun hurriedly put away the Fang of the Fire Dragon and used his spiritual energy to extinguish the flames.

Noisy footsteps came from outside the door.

With a hum of the force field device disengaging and a hiss of the hydraulic system, the tightly closed office doors opened to both sides.

A guard composed of Primaris Marines rushed in and quickly formed a defensive formation to protect Qin Yun from all directions.

"Your Living Saint, we received an alarm. Are you alright?"

The captain cautiously looked around while asking questions.

Qin Yun: "..."

Aren't you guys being overly cautious?!

They rushed over so quickly!

Thank goodness for Dimensional Space, otherwise you would have discovered I was playing with fire.

A Living Saint playing with fire and burning down his house.

If word gets out, my lifelong reputation will be ruined.

"During meditation, an accident occurred, causing my psychic energy to go out of control."

"Let's deactivate the alarm. I can also find someone to come and fix my bookshelf."

Qin Yun made up an excuse and let the guard team leave.

The damaged bookshelf was quickly removed and replaced with a brand new one.

Afterwards, Qin Yun sent everyone away and stopped fiddling with his weapons, instead focusing on the reforms.

The first thing to do, naturally, is to bring over the successful experience of the Calixis Sector.

The Imperial Bank was established, with Terra guaranteeing the issuance of currency.

The importance of money goes without saying; you must keep a firm grip on it.

The second thing is to increase military benefits.

If you want a soldier to wield his baton well, he needs A5 Wagyu beef every meal.

The third thing is to encourage entrepreneurship, improve production efficiency, and promote technological innovation.

Productivity is the key to all policies; without making the pie bigger, no matter how you divide it, it's useless.

Qin Yun promulgated First Company of laws.

This includes improving welfare benefits for the lower classes and increasing education spending.

Invest in fields such as finance and commerce.

At the same time, we have vigorously fought corruption and improved administrative efficiency.

Suppress the vested interests and provide an upward channel for the middle and lower classes who have talent but no power.

Qin Yun's First Company of actions were decisive and swift.

One wrong move and the Imperium would be finished.

But if the Imperium is not willing to undergo painful reforms and endure the pain, its death is only a matter of time.

The High Lord of Terra were completely dumbfounded.

The amendments Qin Yun introduced in a single day outnumbered those they had discussed for a year.

More importantly, the other party did not consult with them at all, but simply informed them what they should do.

Such dictatorship and domineering behavior naturally provoked strong protests.

Opposition voices rose and fell.

When their own interests were harmed, these people lost all sense of awe for Qin Yun, who was the envoy of the God-Emperor.

Many church members even secretly referred to Qin Yun as a messenger sent from hell.

Using sweet words to deceive the Emperor and the Primarch, they were born into Terra to wreak havoc.

Power corrupts loyalty and oaths.

In order to firmly promote reform policies and implement various laws and regulations,

Qin Yun's first reform target was the Adeptus Arbites.

He wants to first purge the corrupt elements in the Adeptus Arbites, and then use the Adeptus Arbites to promote reforms for himself.

In order to prevent the Adeptus Arbites from being paralyzed, Qin Yun adopted a strategy of suppressing some while winning over others.

Factionalism and the elimination of dissidents are common occurrences within Terra's various departments.

Which family that has survived in Terra to this day hasn't trained assassins? Which family hasn't trained death squads?

Once there is a conflict of interest, it is not surprising that various forms of political suppression will be carried out against the enemy, or even the physical disappearance of the other party.

Therefore, many families are sworn enemies, and these are blood feuds that are irreconcilable.

Qin Yun exploited this hatred.

Divide, win over, suppress, and eliminate a group.

From among the survivors, new hostile targets emerged, leading to a cycle of both appeasement and suppression.

This process was repeated until the entire Adeptus Arbites was thoroughly cleaned up.

All high-ranking officials in the Adeptus Arbites who colluded with gangs in Chao Hive City, abused their power, tortured others to extract confessions, maliciously fabricated false cases, and even secretly supported smuggling were dismissed and stripped of their property and political power.

Many hereditary families within the Adeptus Arbites were stripped of their positions by Qin Yun.

The people of Hive City were dumbfounded.

Many once high-ranking "big shots" have fallen from grace in an instant, to the point that even stray dogs on the roadside can bark at them.

After the reforms touched the vested interests of those already in power, many people harbored deep resentment towards Qin Yun.

Assassination attempts against him have increased.

They would ambush him on his likely route, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

Disguised as petitioners, acting as human bombs

They poisoned his water supply.

Despite the pressure, Qin Yun still managed to complete the reform and restructuring of the Adeptus Arbites.

Subsequently, the restructured Adeptus Arbites was instructed to forcefully push forward with reforms.

However, the reforms to Terra quickly encountered resistance.

"One-third of the Charter Captain refuse to unload their cargo unless the Living Saint is willing to retract the absurd policy."

"A protest march broke out in Sector BT145, with protesters demanding sufficient food."

"Some officials at the Department of the Interior are on strike, demanding that you ban the proposed reforms to the Department of the Interior."

"..."

First Company of messages signaled the severe resistance encountered by Terra Reformation.

This First Company of bad news made Qin Yun understand the headache Guilliman had felt back then.

This is Terra after a cleanup.

When Guilliman first arrived in Terra, the situation was probably even worse.

Faced with Terra's intricate web of interests,

Pushing forward with reforms in a forceful manner will inevitably lead to bloodshed, carnage, and even civil war.

But if reforms are not promoted, the Imperium will still perish.

Even the Primarch ultimately had no choice but to create a new logistics department to procure the supplies needed for the Indomitus Crusade.

It's easy to imagine just how outrageous Terra's bureaucracy had become.

Even the Primarch felt despair upon seeing this.

This network of interests is deeply embedded in the Imperium; whether it is pulled out or not, death is inevitable.

Now, this is just the beginning, and the other side has already launched a strike.

Terra has long lost the ability to maintain its self-sufficiency.

All food and water need to be transported from other planets to sustain the lives of the Terra inhabitants.

Charter Captain were the main force responsible for this task.

If they choose to strike, Terra will quickly fall into a deep abyss of shortages, followed by a great Famine.

They dared to go on strike with Qin Yun precisely because they knew this, hoping to force him to compromise.

"Requisition more transport ships to maintain transport routes and prepare to replace those Charter Captain."

"Send someone to tell those Charter Captain that if they don't want to be Charter Captain, they should never be charter captains again."

"I'm only giving them 24 hours to consider. If they still refuse to unload cargo and occupy port berths when the time is up, they will continue to passively resist the government of Terra."

"They will all be arrested for Imperium, and their entire families will be wiped out as well."

"If anyone starves to death because of them, I will turn their entire family into Corpse-starch."

"Tell those guys on strike at the Department of the Interior to take it or leave it. If they don't want to work, we'll replace them. Immediately order nearby troops to be stationed at the Department of the Interior. Anyone found to be maliciously sabotaging the work will be executed immediately."

"Those who don't want to do it, fire them immediately. Promote those who are capable and willing to do it. Threatening me? No way."

"The only way to get me to retract those reform policies is to come here with Bolter and blow my head off."

"Besides..."

Qin Yun's orders were very firm.

Even if you were to turn half of Terra's population into Corpse-starch and use it to feed the other half,

This reform must be pushed forward.

A short pain is always better than a long pain.

If one refuses surgery and doesn't remove the tumor because of fear of pain,

That cancer will continue to draw nourishment from the Imperium to grow stronger.

A malignant tumor won't stop growing; it will only get bigger.

The best solution is to endure the excruciating pain and undergo the surgical removal.

Doing so would certainly result in a lot of bloodshed, but the wounds would heal and the Imperium would be reborn.

At this moment, Inquisitor Galen, led by his guards, made his way through the bustling crowd and came before Qin Yun.

"Your Living Saint, the investigation into the Fifth Fleet has made initial progress."

"We found several special intermediaries who attempted suicide but were stopped by us."

"By reading the memories of those intermediaries, we obtained some very urgent intelligence."

"Terra is brewing a massive rebellion, possibly spearheaded by several current or former High Lord, and more than 50 families may be involved."

"In addition, there is another very important matter, namely that the Minotaurs Chapter has entered the Sol System. They claim that they returned to Terra to replenish their ranks, but I suspect that they were instructed by some High Lord with ill intentions."

"The enemy possesses immense power. If a conflict breaks out, the entire Terra will be thrown into chaos, and it may even affect the entire Sol System."

P. S.: I was planning to give you a chapter back, but my laziness kicked in again, so I only have 3,000 words left.
