Unsealing the Void Dragon

The strategic projection platform slowly rotated and emitted light.

The presence of Primarch such as Guilliman, Lion El'Jonson, Corax, and Jagatai.

They each stood in one corner of the control panel.

He examined the various strategic plans submitted by Qin Yun.

For some reason, they all tacitly accepted Qin Yun's leadership position and obeyed his orders.

The main reason was that they were unable to govern Imperium of Man with excessively large territories.

The Imperium's current development is entirely due to the Beacon Network provided by Qin Yun.

Once this is lost, the Imperium of Man will instantly crumble, plunge into eternal darkness, and be completely divided up by traitors and Xenos.

"By drawing energy from the Warp, the entire human race can ascend. Living Saint, you are very much like my father."

Jagatai spoke calmly.

As the eagle of Chogoris, he possesses not only keen eyesight but also sharp intuition.

With just one glance, he realized the terror of the Aetheric Phase Engine.

It would drain the entire Warp, causing the Realspace to collapse.

This project will inevitably provoke a fierce backlash from the gods of the Warp, and the two sides are very likely to engage in an earth-shattering war.

"The gods will not let this go easily." Lion El'Jonson reached out and gestured with the projection. "The depletion of the Warp is tantamount to severing their foundation."

"This is the last resort." Qin Yun looked at the Primarch.

"If human civilization ceases to exist, then this Milky Way will have no meaning to exist."

"Is the situation that bad?" Sanguinius's soul was glowing.

Although the remaining souls aboard the Vengeful Spirit have been recovered, preparations for its resurrection still need to be made.

Through Qin Yun's efforts, the Laughing God persuaded the Avatar of Ynnead to use his Ynnead to resurrect Sanguinius.

Once the time is right, the Archangel will be able to return to the Realspace and become another Primarch to return to the Imperium.

"This universe is fundamentally broken, and all order will inevitably slide into collapse."

Qin Yun looked helpless.

The Warp gods are troublesome enough.

But he found traces of Extragalactic Old Gods in some subtle clues.

There are even more terrifying beings beyond the Milky Way.

They are more terrifying than the Chaos Gods.

They are beings that existed since the beginning of the universe and possess incredible power.

If these ancient gods were to interfere with the Milky Way, humanity would have no chance of winning.

Only by using the Aetheric Phase Engine to ascend to a higher dimension can there be even a sliver of hope of victory.

"The only way to completely solve this problem is to put ourselves in a do-or-die situation and restart this universe so that there is hope for life."

"The Aetheric Phase Engine is still in its infancy. It's unclear when it will be ready for widespread application. Don't worry about it too much; let's focus on the current issues first."

Qin Yun steered the conversation back to the issue of the Haunted Necropolis.

"I will personally lead the team on this matter," Lion El'Jonson said.

"No." Qin Yun shook his head. "You need to be stationed in the Imperium Nihilus. Although there is the Webway, the connection between Terra and the Imperium Nihilus is still very fragile."

"If one day the Webway falls and Terra loses contact with the Imperium Nihilus, someone will be needed to hold down the fort and protect the Imperium from traitors and Xenos invasion."

"I'll take charge," Guilliman said. "I've always led the Indomitus Crusade, so it's best for me to deal with that Silent King."

Having awakened his true nature Avenging Son, Guilliman's combat prowess is now on par with any Primarch.

Even if we face the Silent King head-on, we will not lose.

"You'll need to assist me with administrative matters. This task will be left to Corax and Jagatai." Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, then looked at Corax and Jagatai. "I wonder if the two Primarch would be willing?"

"I have no interest in leading troops," Corax said. "But I will assist the Expeditionary Force and help them fight the Necrons."

Jagatai nodded, "I don't like being constrained either. I don't even want to take over White Scars anymore."

"With you all here, that's enough," Qin Yun said. "Now that the Imperium has convenient communication, if we encounter a crisis that we can't resolve, we can summon the God Chosen. As long as we proceed steadily and don't rush into things, we have an overwhelming advantage."

After discussing how to resolve the Haunted Necropolis, the meeting adjourned.

The communication devices were shut down, and the Primarch's projections disappeared.

Qin Yun stayed in the dark communications room for a while, then went out and had Xi Ling open the passage to Mars.

As the Beacon device roared, the environment around Qin Yun distorted, and then he arrived at the space station in Mars orbit.

The Magos and priests responsible for maintaining and guarding the Beacon bowed to him.

As the Emperor's Messenger and the incarnation of the Omnissiah, Qin Yun's status on Mars is even higher than that of the Fabricator General.

After traveling to the surface by transport boat, Qin Yun easily led Xi Ling to the entrance of the underground ruins and went inside.

A maze that can stop ordinary people cannot stop Qin Yun.

He easily met the jailer, Dalia Cecilia.

This genius girl from ten thousand years ago, blessed by the Emperor's great power, has aged without showing any signs of aging over the years.

"Living Saint."

Dalia had never been outside, but the familiar aura emanating from Qin Yun made her realize that he was the Emperor's envoy.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Yun nodded. "I'm going to see the Void Dragon."

"This way." Dalia respectfully led Qin Yun into the long-sealed ancient ruins.

During the feudal era of human civilization, fragments of the Void Dragon fell to Earth.

He was defeated by the Emperor, who was playing the role of a knight at the time, and imprisoned on Mars.

For ordinary people at the time, Mars was still a mythical concept.

However, some organizations that possess the secrets of the Warp have already begun using the remaining Webway and rifts to travel to various planets.

The Emperor learned a great deal from those organizations and also learned about these secret passages and rifts, which is why he sealed the Void Dragon on Mars.

Void Dragon have no physical form, existing in a multi-dimensional, superimposed state.

If a mortal looks directly at it, he will be harmed.

To mortals, beings like Void Dragon are no different from gods.

However, the opponent's multi-dimensional form had no effect on Qin Yun.

"Help it reshape its body," Qin Yun said to Xi Ling, who was following behind him.

"Yes, Master." Xi Ling nodded happily.

With her movements, the Void Dragon, which was originally just a ball of light, acquired a body made of active Nano-metal.

The Void Dragon's appearance is very similar to the Aether Dragon described by Qin Yun regarding the Stellaris.

"Ants." The Void Dragon spoke in human language, filled with contempt and resentment. "What means did you use to deceive my people and make them willingly obey your commands?"

"Naturally, it's all thanks to my wisdom and strength," Qin Yun boasted shamelessly. "Also, stop calling me an ant. I'm the only one who can decide whether you'll be imprisoned forever."

"You don't want to be trapped here until the end of the universe, do you?"

"You can't do it," the Void Dragon said. "My life is infinite, while the human Imperium will eventually decay. When your story ends and a new race rises, who will remember the seal here?"

"Then you'll have to wait a while." Qin Yun was very patient. "I was originally thinking of giving you a chance to Revenge and take revenge on that guy Szarekh."

"You should know that he was the one who ordered you to be blown to pieces."

"It seems that you are unwilling, but would rather suffer in this dark and Dimensional Space."

"What did you say?" The Void Dragon's tone changed. "That despicable traitor Szarekh has returned from beyond the Milky Way?"

After the Void Dragon was shattered into pieces, it was sealed in different places.

However, as time went on, some fragments broke the seal.

When it attempted to seek Revenge on Szarekh, it unexpectedly learned of the slumber of the Necrons and their departure, which enraged it so much that it could only vent its anger on several slumbering Necron Dynasties.

The Void Dragon and the few Necrons engaged in a fierce battle, completely destroying their Tomb.

However, it also paid a heavy price, being severely damaged by the enemy's weapons, its body nearly shattered.

He ended up on Earth, where he was eventually captured by the Emperor and imprisoned.

For the Void Dragon, everything else can be abandoned, except for Szarekh, who must die.

"Szarekh is back, and he's activated the Haunted Necropolis," Qin Yun said. "I want to give you a chance."

"If you swear to serve me, I will set you free."

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" The Void Dragon laughed in a human tone, its fiery eyes fixed on Qin Yun. "You want my help, but you call it pity."

"I must say, you are cunning. But you have underestimated the wisdom of a C'tan. I will help you deal with Szarekh, but I will not pledge allegiance to you."

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Qin Yun didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

The fluidity of the movements sent a shiver down the spine of the Void Dragon.

Ah!! No!!

Are you really just going to leave like this? Couldn't you at least try to negotiate a price?

"Perhaps we can talk again." The Void Dragon lowered its stance a little.

"There's no need to talk. You just need to consider whether you accept my terms," Qin Yun said. "I have a C'tan by my side. Perhaps she doesn't know much about ancient technologies, but I believe in her learning ability."

"Don't worry, Master. With just a little effort, I'll definitely be able to master that ancient knowledge easily," Xi Ling hurriedly stepped forward, proudly straightening her back.

Void Dragon: "..."

He suspected that he might be experiencing auditory hallucinations due to being imprisoned for too long.

He actually heard his tribesmen address the human in front of them as their master?!

"How can you regard a lowly, short-lived species as your master?"

"You are a noble C'tan, the master of the Realspace."

"He should be the one calling you master, not the other way around."

Enraged, the Void Dragon attempted to pounce on Qin Yun, but saw psionic chains appear in the Void, binding him tightly and preventing him from making contact.

"It doesn't have the memories you've inherited." Qin Yun had Xi Ling stand behind him, then looked at the Void Dragon. "From birth, she was bound to me, sharing life and death. My relationship with her is much better than that of the so-called clansmen you speak of."

"Back then, when you were killing and devouring each other, you didn't treat each other as your own people; instead, you treated each other as enemies more often."

The Void Dragon stared intently at Qin Yun.

Using something from so long ago as an example, he couldn't find a point to refute for a moment.

Qin Yun and the Void Dragon locked eyes.

The Void Dragon felt that this human was even more troublesome than the one who had defeated it before, so it turned its head away and sized up Xi Ling beside it.

"You're still in your infancy? It seems that a C'tan split off a seed, gave birth to you, but failed to develop."

"It was only in recent years that they were cultivated to live alongside humans."

"Xi Ling has nothing to do with today's events." Qin Yun took a step forward, shielding Xi Ling behind him. "Cooperation? Or being trapped here forever?"

"You swear that I will get my wish and tear Szarekh apart with my own hands?" the Void Dragon demanded.

Qin Yun nodded. "I swear, you will get what you want."

"Then I will serve you, human, until you die of old age." The Void Dragon lowered its metal-forged head in submission.

"Very well, I will send you to the Haunted Necropolis."

Without wasting any words, Qin Yun inscribed Binding Runes inside the Void Dragon's body.

They took it and Dalia out of the Dimensional Space together.

Qin Yun can utilize the power and wisdom of Xi Ling and the Emperor.

The Binding Runes he inscribed could absolutely control the Void Dragon, making it impossible for it to disobey his commands.

Dalia was thrilled to see the light of day again.

She hasn't left her prison for ten thousand years, as she's been guarding the Void Dragon.

Everything has changed drastically.

My former companions have long since turned to dust and bones, leaving no trace whatsoever.

But her duties were not over; Qin Yun instructed her to continue monitoring the Void Dragon.

To prevent the other party from doing things that are detrimental to humanity.

After letting Dalia tour the area, Qin Yun instructed her to take the Void Dragon to the Haunted Necropolis battlefield to eliminate the Silent King as soon as possible.

On the other side of the Milky Way,

The resurrected Little Alpaca rallied the members of the Battle Roses and launched an attack on the Illuminor, Zarathusa.

After an earth-shattering battle, the Tomb Pyramid was destroyed, and the players suffered heavy casualties.

Zarathusa limped away using a dimensional Portal.

Of course, he also left some harsh words before leaving.

"This matter will not end here, humans. Remember my words today. Soon you will know just how terrifying my wrath can be."

"Not only you, but your entire race will suffer a terrible nightmare."

News of the Illuminor's failure and escape quickly reached the ears of Silent King Szarekh.

As the last king of the Necrontyr Ones, he was not worried about the human counterattack.

"The only ones who could defeat us were the Old Ones and the C'tan, but now, both of them have perished."

"Humanity's attempt to stop a chariot with its bare hands is absolutely the most foolish thing they have ever done."

"Be prepared, for the age of the Necrontyr will return. This time, we will truly rule the Milky Way, and no one will be able to stop us."

Silent King Szarekh remained silent.

Instead, his personal guards relayed these two sentences to his generals.

P. S.: Another chapter! Thank you all for your support. It's not long anymore; once I finish writing about the Emperor's resurrection and the unification of the Milky Way, that'll be about it.
