Resurrecting Old Man Emperor
To revive Old Man Emperor, we must first solve the problem of the Webway.
Magnus's foolishness led to Old Man Emperor being severely beaten by the Four Gods while he was working on the Webway.
Countless demons flooded the Webway, defeating the force composed of the human Adeptus Custodes and the Silent Sisterhood.
The Adeptus Mechanicus also betrayed the retreating troops by abandoning them in search of a path to Mars. As a result, not only were they wiped out, but the retreating troops were also left without flank protection and surrounded.
Old Man Emperor used the sacrifice of a thousand Psyker to rise from the throne, storm into the Webway, and engage in the End of the Empire, only to be severely wounded by them.
Ultimately, at the cost of 'Ra', the End of the Empire was brought away from the Webway, saving the surviving Imperial Adeptus Custodes and Sisters.
However, due to the interference of the four gods, the Webway could not be completely shut down, and the Emperor had to block it himself.
To revive Old Man Emperor, we must first solve the problem of the Webway and block the power of the four gods so that He can rise from the Golden Throne.
"If Old Man Emperor is to be resurrected, he must first find the Fragments of Humanity."
Qin Yun muttered to himself.
After the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Old Man Emperor fought against the Warp.
I have been trying to eliminate my own humanity to avoid becoming weak due to emotions or memories.
Before his final battle with Horus, he abandoned all humanity.
Kindness, emotions, and so on have all been stripped away from him; we must first find the fragments of his personality.
"While resolving the issues with the Webway, we also collected fragments to prepare for the resurrection."
Qin Yun made a plan.
This matter was too significant, so he decided to carry it out secretly, keeping it from everyone.
Even Primarch like Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson should not be informed yet.
After all, the power wielded by the Four Gods is beyond imagination. Once the other side learns of the plan, they will surely do everything in their power to stop it.
Even with the Emperor's resurrection, Abaddon isn't safe even if he runs back to the Eye of Terror.
Given the nature of the opponent's Great Crusade, even the eggs in the Eye of Terror would be shaken to their core, and the mutated earthworms would be split vertically.
Even Emperor couldn't withstand facing four Chaos Gods at the same time.
Therefore, this matter must be carried out in secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
"We can keep it from the Primarch for now, but not from Titan."
Qin Yun thought of some important things.
He instructed Xi Ling to activate the Beacon teleportation, heading to the Grey Knights' homeworld— Titan.
"Yes, Master, Xi Ling will take care of it for you right away."
Xi Ling nodded and immediately followed Qin Yun's instructions, activating the Beacon teleportation and setting Titan as the destination.
As the Beacon device roared, the environment around Qin Yun began to distort.
Once everything returned to normal, he had already traversed countless light-years and arrived in near-Earth orbit around Titan.
This is the advantage of Beacon teleportation; in the blink of an eye, you can reach any planet with Beacon.
After an announcement was made, Grand Master Voldus of the Grey Knights, who was not on a mission, came to greet them personally.
Under his guidance and that of several other Grand Master, Qin Yun entered Titan.
Titan populated only by Grey Knights and servants of the Chapter, making it extremely desolate and quiet.
Many buildings were empty, with only blessed Servitor patrolling them.
This mysterious planet was sent to a mysterious dimension by Malcador, where it stayed for over two thousand years before returning to the Imperium of Man.
When the High Lord entered the Titan and saw what was inside, they acknowledged their status and placed them under the command of the Inquisition.
The Grey Knights were equipped with the best gear and ruthlessly carried out exorcism missions throughout the Imperium aboard their own high-speed Strike Cruiser.
Although they are Psyker, not a single Grey Knights has ever been resurrected to date, and no one knows where their incredible resistance comes from.
When Qin Yun arrived at the surface of Titan, he sensed powerful spiritual energy and the presence of demons.
This place holds some demons that are difficult to completely destroy, and of course, some demons are used as practice tools.
"I need to see your End Times Edict."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qin Yun revealed his purpose.
This left the Grey Knights Grand Master, led by Voldus, looking at each other in bewilderment. They had never imagined that the Living Saint would make such a demand, nor did they know how the Living Saint knew of the existence of the End Times Edict.
It should be known that only the Grand Master knows of the existence of this item, and only the Supreme Grand Master can open and view it.
Since the previous Grand Master — Kaldor Diego, also known as the Brother Captain Stern Supreme Grand Master— was Warp, they have not elected another Supreme Grand Master.
I've been having some thoughts lately, since Kaldor Diego has been confirmed as Warp entity and can no longer return to lead the Grey Knights.
Demons are rampant throughout the Milky Way, so they plan to choose another one.
Seeing the troubled expressions on the faces of the several Grey Knights Grand Master,
Qin Yun directly activated the Heroic Spirit Summoning, Brother Captain Stern who was fighting on the Warp Daemon to the Realspace.
"Demon, take this from my greatsword!"
The arrogant Brother Captain Stern the Titan's Sword felt the scene before him distort before returning to normal. He then saw the Imperium Living Saint and several Grey Knights mentors, and his face immediately showed surprise.
How did I suddenly end up here?
"I have summoned you, Kaldor Diego. You are still the Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights, and I need you to make some decisions."
Qin Yun said.
"Living Saint, please give your orders." Brother Captain Stern sheathed the Titan's Sword and bowed to Qin Yun.
"I need to see the Grey Knights' End Times Edict," Qin Yun said.
The Brother Captain Stern looked hesitant.
When he took over, the previous Grand Master repeatedly warned him that this was something he could only see himself, and that this was a rule that all Grand Master had to abide by since the creation of the Grey Knights.
Just as he was about to refuse, the Brother Captain Stern remembered that the situation he had encountered with the Grand Master before was not as complicated as it was now.
They didn't have Living Saint or God Chosen who were higher-dimensional beings back then.
After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.
"If you would like to see it, please follow me."
With the Brother Captain Stern agreeing, the other Grey Knights Grand Master stopped talking.
The influence of the Imperium Living Saint has surpassed that of the Emperor on some planets.
After all, the Emperor wouldn't give them bread and milk.
But the Living Saint did indeed guarantee that they had refrigerators, and that they were filled with milk and bread.
Many people assume that the Imperium Living Saint is the second Imperium Emperor, and even the Primarch who returned to the Primarch holds this view.
Entering the Grey Knights' highest-security-level Secret Chamber,
In the presence of several Grand Masters, Qin Yun opened the wooden box, inside which was a parchment bearing the Emperor mark.
It contains the highest instructions left to the Grey Knights by the Master of Mankind before the final battle.
"The Master of Mankind shall never allow anyone to leave the Golden Throne —whether through resurrection, rebirth through another's body, or ascension into some kind of Warp entity."
"Once He does that, the Grey Knights must use every means to bring it back so that He can continue to fulfill that terrible duty."
The parchment contained very little information; Qin Yun glanced at it and read it all.
"The Grey Knights's End Times Edict".
The contents of the parchment were neither weapons nor magical formulas, but merely an order.
But Qin Yun knew the Grey Knights would do that.
They themselves are a weapon, willing to fight against the entire Imperium to fulfill their ultimate mission.
Qin Yun came over because he was afraid that the Grey Knights would try to sabotage Old Man Emperor's resurrection after discovering some clues.
After all, the awakened Emperor is not someone the Grey Knights can handle.
The best way to keep Him on the Golden Throne is to keep Him as He is now.
Qin Yun activated the Faith Barrier, completely blocking the gaze of the gods, and then revealed his plan to resurrect Old Man Emperor.
Undoubtedly, this was met with serious skepticism and opposition from the Grey Knights Grand Master.
"The End Times War will begin soon, and we need a powerful force to fight against the gods."
Qin Yun tried to persuade them.
"I'm afraid the Warp will add another combatant."
The words of a Grand Master caused everyone to turn their heads; such words could be considered extremely disrespectful.
But they didn't care. When discussing this kind of thing, you can't be afraid to say this or that. You have to talk about the most serious consequences.
"Then let's first collect the fragments of the Emperor's personality and let Him use His humanity to suppress His growing divinity. Otherwise, if He continues to absorb faith, He will soon be unable to suppress it and will forcibly ascend to a higher level."
"At that time, the probability of Him becoming a Chaos God in the Warp will be greater, and the crisis that humanity will face will be even more terrifying."
"..."
A heated argument broke out between the two sides, but in the end, the Grey Knights Grand Master, including Voldus, backed down and agreed to collect the personality fragments first to help the Emperor regain his humanity.
After obtaining the Grey Knights's consent, Qin Yun left Titan and headed to Commorragh to select players to complete the mission.
After several major battles, Qin Yun's level reached LV30.
Players' levels also rose to LV30, and many players obtained godhood fragments by hunting demons or killing Xenos gods, making them stronger and able to undergo a second upgrade.
Players who did not absorb the divine fragments can strengthen their Adeptus Custodes to gain greater combat power.
Therefore, sending them to collect fragments of the Emperor is not a difficult task.
Qin Yun assigned the task to the selected player: to revive Old Man Emperor.
After a long wait, Sanguinius is ready to be officially resurrected. The Aeldari's Avatar of Ynnead and Laughing God, Yvraine of the Guilliman family, and the Great Farseer Eldrad, among others, all head to the Imperial Glory.
This warship has undergone several upgrades and is now larger than an ordinary planet, making it the most powerful warship in the Imperium.
But Qin Yun rarely travels by boat anymore; he uses Beacon to teleport instantly and travels around the Milky Way.
For this reason, it has always been used by the Blood Angels, which has drawn considerable criticism from other Chapter.
Dante simply slammed the picture of the Archangel and the photo of the Imperium Living Saint onto the other person's table.
"See that? Same armor, same wings. Living Saint are the Primarch of Blood Angels. What's wrong with us sailing our own ship?"
When someone questions how a Legion could have two Primarch,
"Never mind that, if you're so capable, go ask the Emperor."
Dante silenced his opponents with his rebuttal.
Apart from the Imperium Living Saint, who can freely communicate with the Emperor's will?
The Imperium Living Saint, however, seemed to be completely indifferent to the situation.
Everyone gathered on the Imperial Glory and began to revive Sanguinius.
The process of resurrecting Sanguinius was not complicated. First, Qin Yun used the Emperor's power to mend Sanguinius' soul, and then sent the soul into the repaired body.
Immediately afterwards, the embodiment of Ynnead released the power of death and rebirth into Sanguinius.
After all this was done, golden flames roared up and burned Sanguinius to ashes.
Moments later, countless rays of light converged into the sphere of light.
A holy figure with wings appeared in the sphere of light. When the light dissipated, Sanguinius, brimming with vitality, returned from the Death World.
The Chaos Four Gods noticed this and tried to stop it.
However, their minions were no match for the Imperial Glory, which had become the strongest warship in the Milky Way.
The demons were just about to enter the Realspace through the torn rift and besiege the Imperial Glory...
As soon as it appeared, it was hit by several Annihilation beams with a diameter of five or six kilometers. The newly acquired entity was instantly reduced to ashes in the Void and banished back to the Warp.
Intending to use the advantages of warp Warp to board the ship, they discovered that the Imperial Glory was filled with unimaginable power of faith.
As soon as they entered, they were burned to ashes.
When the Chaos Gods realized the Imperial Glory was a troublesome vessel and attempted to tear open the rift to descend upon it themselves...
Sanguinius had already been resurrected, so there was no choice but to give up.
As the will of the gods departed and the Warp Rift closed, Qin Yun knew that if there were a next time, the gods would not send their minions, but would descend directly upon him.
Guilliman, Lion El'Jonson, Corax, Jagatai, Sanguinius, and more and more loyal Primarch are returning.
The balance of power between the two sides began to shift.
Abaddon couldn't even handle one Primarch, let alone five.
The Chaos Gods either send in the Great Demon or the Daemon Primarch directly, or they themselves will take to the field.
Otherwise, facing five Primarch and a fully transformed Imperium of Man, Chaos would be utterly crushed.
After resurrecting Sanguinius, Qin Yun gave him a task: to go to the Webway, cooperate with Little Fulgrim, and wipe out the demons in preparation for the Emperor's resurrection.
At the same time, a series of quests for Sanguinius were released, offering generous rewards to ensure that players were always by Sanguinius' side.
Sanguinius' soul was incomplete, and for this reason, Qin Yun did not want Sanguinius to leave his sight, to prevent him from being corrupted by the Warp fragments that fell into the hands of the Chaos Gods.
As long as there is a player nearby, the player's own higher-dimensional power can help him resist the corruption of the Warp and allow him to reach him at any time to provide support.
Sanguinius did not object to this arrangement, but rather accepted it readily.
Excited and thrilled, the little angels howled and followed the Archangel into the Webway.
Qin Yun expressed his gratitude to the Aeldari and promised to repay them by returning some planets with small populations that originally belonged to the Aeldari. He also promised to introduce preferential laws to allocate resources to them and help them rebuild their homes.
