Second Founding

The last guy who asked me if I wanted a wife snatched away the gentlest woman in Sichuan and Chongqing. But he didn't lose out either, as he found a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, whose appearance was so imposing that he was almost as big as Corgi.

As we all know, the Emperor is a Perpetual, and without exception, Perpetual become mentally disturbed due to living for too long, turning into one abstract madman after another.

Such a rebellious act, if committed by Emperor, would probably have Rebellious son in him beating every single one of his unfilial sons to the ground. But Yellow Skins 12345 is a rather peculiar character.

Although Yellow Skins 12345 is a personality split from the Emperor, and each fragment can be called the Emperor, it's like being possessed by Slaanesh 20 minutes ago and then experiencing a period of enlightenment 20 minutes later. Each personality fragment is different, and can even be described as bizarre.

Other powerful soul fragments are already waging a battle for Terra within the Emperor's body. Each one is a great warlord and a tyrant, fighting and devouring each other, all vying for the ultimate Emperor.

The reason why Yellow Skins 12345 was chosen is precisely because he is bad at the game. He is a fence-sitter among fence-sitters, greedy, lazy, cunning and treacherous, and even a little lecherous.

Seeing everyone trying to set him up with a match, Yellow Skins 12345 not only didn't refuse, but was quite excited instead.

"The young widow you're talking about isn't Isha, is it?"

Sigh! If it's for the empire, I'm not unwilling to sacrifice myself. Come at me, I can handle it.

Yellow Skins 12345 is despicable; he has lost the basic dignity of Master of Mankind. But while the words may be crude, the principle is sound: Isha might actually be able to heal the Emperor.

As Warp Entity weapons created by the Old Ones Saints, the Eldar Gods are quite prestigious, and could even be considered among the strongest of the lesser gods.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that, according to the established rules, the Eldar Gods are controllable.

The Eldar Gods are indeed abstract. There is a god named Asuryan who learned from Jiajing and practiced to walk like a crane, unafraid of palace maids strangling him. He is clearly the eldest brother of this group, but he chose to govern by doing nothing and completely let things fall apart.

Isha, a loving mother, spoiled her son, granting the Aeldari an endless lifespan. The entire race descended into depravity, with everyone becoming perverted, lustful, and sadistic SM fanatics. Ultimately, this unstoppable extreme indulgence gave birth to Slaanesh.

And then there's Khaine, the God of War, this crazy red-skinned guy, a complete novice in foreign battles and a god in domestic ones, muttering incomprehensible nonsense, drawing his greatsword and slashing, and killing his own people more ruthlessly than his enemies.

The creations of the Old Ones Eldar Gods are commanders, builders, logistics managers, healers, Tank Warrior, and even an artistic soldier named Cegorach.

From Mordred's perspective, the Eldar Gods' creation technology can be considered the final form of the Primarch, a true military-grade combat machine.

Moreover, they are at their peak from the moment they appear, unlike the Primarch who needs to develop. They may even be equipped with various buffs and divine weapons.

The Old Ones' base of operations is in the Warp, while the C'tan's base of operations is in the Material Universe. Even when fighting on foreign soil, the Old Ones can rely on their superior technology to hold out against the C'tan until the very end of the War in Heaven.

Even after the Burning One, that old sly fox, burned through the Webway and directly attacked their base, they still fought to the death.

And this is the Old Ones, a super-race that lives forever in the background, where even a tiny remnant (Orks) or a garlic-peeling girl (Aeldari) can become the overlord of the galaxy. In fact, before the last Old Ones One was wiped out, the three Warp vendors dared not touch them.

Everything stemmed from that War in Heaven, but there's no need to dwell on the past. The most important thing now is whether Isha is truly useful.

"I think it's possible. After all, she's a goddess of life. Even if she can't cure Old Man Huang, she can at least make him a little more human."

That Personality Excretion Device isn't a long-term solution. You can't hide the truth forever. Right now, Old Man Huang is like a boiler about to explode. What we're doing can only release the pressure, but the fire underneath is still burning.

"Then can't we just put out the fire?" Luojia asked.

"It's impossible, or rather, it can't be done." Mordred indicated that the Emperor's situation was different from Luojia's; Luojia was passively contaminated, and all that was needed was to remove the source of the contamination.

"But what if the source of pollution is humans?"

"I have made worst-case scenario plans. I even discussed a plan to deal with the Four Gods with Old Man Huang 10,000 years ago."

For those four patches of skin disease in the Warp, the souls and even emotions of all beings are their source of power. Don't think that the Four Gods or even the Yellow Skins are gods of law; they are actually gods of rules, which are the fundamental logic of the entire world.

The solution is simple: the Physical World also affects the Warp. And it doesn't take much; just kill all life in the entire galaxy to stop the Four Merchants.

The price is the extinction of humanity, the emergence of the Black Skins, and the beginning of a new cycle. But the problem is, what good will it do if we're all dead?

Another approach is to use positive emotions to corrupt the Chaos God— "

Compared to the first option, Mordred was unwilling to even explain the second option, while the other Primarchs understood its meaning.

The first solution is to live as long as heaven and earth, and the second solution is to address both the symptoms and the root cause. However, the second solution is too difficult, but ultimately it comes down to a matter of capability.

If they could generate 990,000 magnetic field points per person and blast through the entire Warp with a single punch, then even the black would turn white, and they would all kneel before me in ultimate humiliation. But if we really had such a powerful superpower, humanity would have already broken out of the Milky Way and fought our way to Andromeda.

"Let's be more practical. Second Son, stop thinking about all this nonsense. The Goddess of Life can be a backup plan. Our most important task right now is to reclaim half of the empire."

Zhuang Sen was right. The Empire had only just managed to recover the core area of Sol Sector to the Maelstrom, and this was the result of their efforts over the past ten years.

The Great Crusade was a race against time, and they are now racing against time as well. Everyone is preparing for that Indomitable Expedition, and that takes time.

Now that things have come to this, there's no use thinking too much, but almost all the Primarchs have taken notice of the Xenos goddess named Isha, and are also thinking about this group of Pointy-ears Aeldari.

While everyone was present, the Primarchs held a small meeting and finalized their development plan, but Guilliman spoke the most.

After all, the fate of the empire rests on Guilliman's shoulders; anyone else could have problems, but he alone cannot.

Fortunately, Atlas has resumed some of its functions and is gradually taking over logistics and transportation. The initial investment has finally been recouped, and Atlas will soon be able to support the Empire.

The most important topic of the entire meeting was the Second Founding!

Taking this opportunity, Mordred revealed its entire Divine Seal Spire, including its core technology and production line, treating even Mechanicus equally: if you dare to ask, I dare to give it to you.

Not only the Divine Seal Spire, but also a large amount of Atlas technology was announced, Forge World to react and flock to Holy Terra to join, including the Mars headquarters.

Mordred had only one requirement: standardized procedures.

Anyone who has ever worked in logistics knows the importance of standardization. Mordred was fed up with all those bizarre specifications, especially at this stage when the Indomitable Expedition was about to begin.

God knows what those idiot Mechanicus were thinking. To prevent technology leaks, their casting specifications varied from person to person, and some even used unusual units.

As a result, some worlds are still producing outdated ammunition that was phased out during the Great Crusade, such as the notoriously difficult-to-strike.65 caliber explosive round, and the matching Bolter have to be manufactured separately.

This is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon. Over thousands of years of academic exchanges in the physical sense, the Cult of Adeptus Mechanicus has sprung up with numerous factions. In addition, in order to obtain resources, various Chapter have no choice but to cooperate with the Adeptus Mechanicus. This has led to the Empire's equipment being a hodgepodge of products from various countries, even more bizarre than that of Third Brother.

Mordred doesn't seek unity of purpose; he only wants the most basic weapons, ammunition, and even basic equipment to be modularized, something the Ultramarines excel at.

All of them are equipped with Mark X Power Armour and use the Mk2 Kaul Bolter, which fires.75 caliber rounds, making it compatible with the caliber of the most widely available Godwyn-pattern Bolter.

Belisarius Kaul is a staunch advocate of modularity, and the equipment he develops retains this characteristic. Even the most basic Power Armor can be adapted to different missions by replacing the external armor.

The most famous of these are the Gravis Heavy Armour and the Phobos Light Armour. This system suits Mordred's taste perfectly, possessing a simple and efficient industrial aesthetic that Mordred finds very appealing.

The Primaris Conversion is another major advantage; the new generation of Primaris Space Marine are indeed stronger on paper than the older Space Marine, that's a fact.

Although there are some flaws and not everyone can successfully modify it, this is not an excuse to reject the Primaris.

The reason why those Chapter resisted the Primaris Conversion was purely psychological. They were not afraid of death; they were afraid of being eliminated, of their honor, and of having everything swept into the trash heap.

Ultimately, he found an excuse based on Guilliman's Ambition to justify himself.

Just like the elderly fathers in the family, even though they have realized that the set of principles they believe in are outdated, they are unwilling to change, clinging to the last remaining so-called traditions and resisting suggestions from their children.

But times have changed, Mordred and Zhuang Sen can do what Guilliman couldn't.

One of them is the chief logistics officer, and the other is the Imperial Warmaster. One is in charge of food supplies, and the other is in charge of the army. If they dare to disobey, they have plenty of ways and means to deal with them.

Never mess with the quartermaster, never mess with your superior. And with Luojia's return as the Ecclesiarch, there's no excuse left.

Those who resist the Second Founding of the army are disloyal, unfilial, and unjust; they are great traitors, villains, and rebels.

However, in order to make the Second Founding process smoother and to minimize losses, Mordred made some changes to the Primaris Conversion surgery developed by Kaul and summoned the man behind Guilliman.

Most importantly, Mordred needs to retrieve something.
