The Mysterious Jagatai
"Everyone, look around. Maybe we can find some clues."
Labor is Most Glorious thing. This call is for other players to work together to find clues.
Many players scattered around the Jetbike, and even drones were launched.
Their footsteps, shouts, and the roar of machines echoed through the empty Aeldari city.
At first, players were very motivated, after all, who wouldn't want to see the man known as the fastest in the Warhammer Universe?
However, after searching around, they found nothing and immediately became dejected.
It was as if this transport ship had appeared out of thin air, and there was no clue as to its owner.
"They must have left the Jetbike here when they were passing by."
"Forget it, let's start by uncovering the city's treasures."
"The city looks quite large; there should be some good stuff there."
"..."
The adventurers turned their attention back to this long-lost city of the Webway.
According to data from the testing instruments, this Webway city was built at least five million years ago.
"Five million years ago, back then, humans should still be using stones, right?" Idle Sage of Dream Hall said, looking at the time displayed on the instrument in his hand.
"Using stones? You're dreaming," said the Labor is Most Glorious, shaking his head. "Back then, humans hadn't even shed their fur yet!"
"Do the Aeldari view humans the same way we view fishermen?"
"Very likely."
"..."
Players chatted and explored the ancient city.
They found many rare gems, crystals, precious metals, and Wraithbone materials.
These things are quite common in the ruins of lost Aeldari cities.
In addition, they also found some blank Soul Stone.
This is a good thing.
They were able to get a lot of good things from those Aeldari.
As long as Slaanesh lives, the Aeldari's need for Soul Stone will not disappear.
After all, the Soul Stone could protect them from being devoured by Slaanesh.
Soul Stone are made of a type of psionic crystal known as Waystone.
If the Aeldari carries Soul Stone with them
At the moment of their death, their souls are absorbed into the Soul Stone.
That way, their nemesis Slaanesh wouldn't be able to devour them.
Otherwise, they will end up like the Dark Eldar, becoming Slaanesh's after-dinner treat.
Soul Stone can be brought back to the Craftworld and placed inside the Wraithbone Core to grow into larger Soul Stone.
With the help of the Infinity Circuit set up by the Wraithbone, the deceased can freely travel within these Infinity Circuit.
Together with the other dead, they became part of the spirit of the Craftworld.
"With these Soul Stones, this journey is break-even." The Idle Sage of Dream Hall showed excitement.
If they can leave, they can sell these Soul Stones to the Craftworld Aeldari in Commorragh and make a fortune.
He spearheaded the formation of the adventure group, whose dream was to explore every ruin in the universe and unearth the treasures left behind by ancient civilizations.
Because they entered the game late, and there weren't many support policies available,
All activities of the adventure team are self-funded.
If they keep losing money, the adventure team will probably have to disband after only a few explorations.
Therefore, making a profit is also a very important thing.
Ammunition, warships, Power Armour, logistical supplies, etc.—you have to spend money to buy all of that.
Without making a profit, we really can't continue.
"As long as you don't do anything reckless, exploring ruins is never a bad deal," said the Labor is Most Glorious.
"It's not just Xi Ling who needs those ancient relics; those Tech-Priests like them too."
"Besides selling the items we unearth to the Aeldari, we can also sell them to other players who enjoy collecting."
Just as everyone was rejoicing over the harvest,
"I found an entrance here at the temple."
A player (ID: Knight Rider LOL) shouted in the communication channel.
Upon hearing the sound, Idle Sage of Dream Hall and other players rushed towards the coordinates shared by that player.
That temple was extremely magnificent.
The gate is equipped with a sealing barrier.
However, as time passed, the seal became damaged.
The players entered easily.
Everything inside was well-preserved and there was hardly any dust.
Sculptures of the Aeldari Gods stand in rows.
The walls are covered with exquisite murals.
"These murals likely depict the origins of the Aeldari."
Looking at the murals that have not faded for millions of years, he exclaimed in surprise, "Labor is Most Glorious."
The murals depict a group of Old Ones with large heads and slender bodies, shrouded in light, who shaped the Eldar Gods.
The Eldar Gods then gave birth to offspring, forming the earliest group of the Aeldari.
Subsequently, the gods followed the Old Ones sages and created the Aeldari civilization.
This race, though faltering, followed the path ordained by the Creator and eventually became a glorious civilization.
"I'll write it down and post it online later for the scholars to study." Idle Sage of Dream Hall didn't pay much attention to the murals; he wasn't interested in the Aeldari's outdated history.
He just wanted to know if those Aeldari had left anything of value behind.
"Stop looking at those murals, come here quickly."
Knight Rider LOL shouted to his adventure team brothers,
Led by him, the players arrived at the entrance of a pitch-black cave.
The beam of light couldn't see the bottom when it shone in; it seemed to be infinitely deep.
"This thing must be a rift between reality and the Warp."
What do you think is inside?
"It must be a treasure."
"Let's go in and take a look."
"..."
The players chattered amongst themselves, showing no fear of the unknown, only greed for the possible unknown treasures.
After some discussion, the players decided to venture deeper into the dark cave.
Assign several players to guard the many treasures already acquired.
The other players then activated their flight abilities and entered the dark cave.
As they delved deeper, players had a very strange feeling.
It was as if they were approaching the end of the universe, and their souls and bodies unconsciously felt a sense of fear, urging them not to go any further but to turn back immediately.
The Power Armour system malfunctioned.
The flow of time becomes difficult to anchor.
But players are born fearless.
The more instinctive the fear, the more excited one becomes.
They all sped off at full throttle, racing towards the cave.
Ultimately, they crossed a certain boundary.
The feeling was wonderful, like being beyond everything.
Then, light appeared.
They passed through a dark cave and landed on a cold, barren land.
The Stellaris overhead were densely packed and arranged in a very strange way.
"Where am I?" Idle Sage of Dream Hall around, his face full of confusion.
Why is this the scene at the bottom of the cave?
I thought I was going to fall into a crack in the universe!
"Something seems off about the Stellaris in the sky,"
Labor is Most Glorious. He compared his reflection to the Stellaris, frowned, and...
"This angle is so strange, it's like the Milky Way has turned into a painting."
"We may have fallen outside the universe, or into four-dimensional space."
Idle Sage of Dream Hall: "..."
Knight Rider LOL: "..."
The other players in the adventure group. "..."
Are you kidding me?
Falling out of the universe? Falling into four-dimensional space?
This game is ridiculous?!
"Look at the Stellaris above you. Doesn't it feel like you're standing in the Void, looking down at the planets?"
The phrase "Labor is Most Glorious" made the other players raise their heads.
They gasped in surprise; it really did look like it.
"It must have broken out of the game model," commented a player (ID: Love and Dobby).
"I think we should consider another thing, which is how to leave? Now that we've left the game modeling, does that also mean leaving the main program?"
"If I die now, will the data be lost?"
The phrase "Labor is Most Glorious" made the other players a little uneasy.
They finally managed to level up to level 10 or higher, complete their first job change, and shed the newbie status.
If the data is lost, wouldn't we have to start all over again from the beginner tasks?
More importantly, if I die here, will there be an error message and I lose my game slot?
Upon realizing this, the players were completely stunned.
Don't risk losing the game slot you worked so hard to get.
"The situation shouldn't be that bad. Warhammer Online claims to be 100% realistic. Maybe this place is an Easter egg that the game developers have made for the players."
"The Warhammer Universe has both rule gods and faith gods, as well as high technology, so it's not surprising that this kind of Easter egg, which is thrown into the outer universe, is not so surprising."
Idle Sage of Dream Hall's words put the other players in the adventure group at ease.
They scattered, exploring the cold land.
This place is not entirely desolate; many strange Wraithbone and crystal structures are situated on this land.
Clearly, the Aeldari or the Old Ones built this place for some purpose.
Roar!
When players explore deep enough
A terrifying roar resounded.
As the strange light appeared, some bizarre, twisted creatures that defied the laws of the Realspace appeared before the players and launched an attack.
But the players easily killed the monsters and obtained some strange crystals from them.
The players tested these crystals.
They discovered that they contained a strange power capable of altering the rules.
But this power is not the Ethereal power of the Immaterium, but another power that humanity has not yet recognized.
"These crystals are probably priceless."
The players didn't understand the purpose of these crystals, but they knew they must have some use.
"There's a temple over there; there should be a way out."
Love and Dobby saw a magnificent temple.
The players headed in that direction, engaging in battles with the creatures along the way, and finally successfully reached the temple.
And inside the temple, they found a peculiar crystal the size of a human head.
The power contained within the crystal is the same as the power contained within the crystals dropped by those strange creatures.
The players, of course, didn't hold back and immediately pocketed the crystals.
The temple also contains many murals.
"These murals likely depict the end of the War in Heaven."
Labor is Most Glorious. Carefully observe those murals and make guesses.
The murals vividly depict the cruelty of war.
The Old Ones possessed many mysterious and powerful technologies, and also had numerous vassals.
However, they still suffered repeated defeats and heavy casualties against the Necron army led by the C'tan.
Furthermore, the once peaceful Warp has also given rise to terrifying monsters due to years of war.
In despair, the Old Ones opened up a node outside this universe to collect the power of nothingness, hoping to use it to quell the war.
Unfortunately, the plan was unsuccessful.
Instead, it attracted non-existent creatures.
They continuously flow into the Realspace.
Ultimately, this forced the Old Ones to seal it away.
Later, the Aeldari built cities and temples, strengthening the seal.
Unfortunately, as the Aeldari Empire collapsed, the seal here was left unmaintained and eventually crumbled.
Fortunately, there was also a dark passage inside the temple. The players activated their flight devices, crossed the dark passage, and returned to the Webway space.
However, upon returning, they heard intense gunfire and shouts.
"Kill all these damned humans."
"Skin them alive, remove their bones, and make them wish they were dead."
"..."
"Dark Eldar." Idle Sage of Dream Hall recognized the voice immediately as that of the one who attacked his companions who were left behind.
After the destruction of Commorragh, the Dark Eldar roamed the Webway, seeking opportunities to attack humans and the Craftworld Aeldari.
"Get them!" shouted the slogan, "Labor is Most Glorious!"
After exploring the ruins, the players shouted various slogans and rushed out of the temple to fight the Dark Eldar.
However, most of these players were only level 10 or 11, and had just completed their first job advancement.
It's adequate against an equal number of Dark Eldar.
But now, the enemy's numbers are several times greater than theirs.
Soon, the Dark Eldar drove the adventurers into a desperate situation.
Just when they were about to be wiped out,
A towering giant charged into the battlefield, wielding a curved sword, sweeping away fallen leaves like autumn wind.
In just a moment, the Dark Eldar was slaughtered, crying out for their fathers and mothers, and running around in chaos.
Ultimately, the Dark Eldar were utterly routed and fled the battlefield in disarray.
The towering giant who made the move was none other than the Primarch that players had been searching for in vain— Jagatai.
After resolving the battle, Jagatai glanced at the players and then turned to leave.
The players naturally all chased after him; after all, this was the Primarch, how could they let him get away?
What rewards will you receive for bringing back a Primarch?
Just thinking about it is enough to excite young gamers.
They're definitely going to get rich!
"Khan, come back with us." Idle Sage of Dream Hall blocked Jagatai's way. "The Imperium is in dire need of you."
"No, now is not the time."
After leaving those words, Jagatai continued deeper into the Webway.
Players like Idle Sage of Dream Hall wanted to continue their pursuit, following Jagatai while sending messengers back to report to the other Primarch to persuade the King of Chogoris.
However, Jagatai disappeared after entering the swirling fog.
No matter how hard the players searched, they couldn't find a single clue.
Warhawk of Chogoris appeared abruptly, and then disappeared just as abruptly.
"He abandoned us and left?"
"Let's go back and tell the Guide about this."
"..."
Unable to find anything, the players had no choice but to leave the lost Webway city with their loot and return to Commorragh to report the situation.
At the same time, he handed the Void Crystal over to Xi Ling for her to examine.
