Chapter 1332: Magnus Doesn't Know Shit... (The Moon Came Out Again After the Rain)
With Guilliman's return, most affairs within the Ultramar star region returned to normal, and Duanmu Huai gave Guilliman two gifts as a gesture of goodwill.
One was a Reality Stabilizing Anchor, and the other was Faster-Than-Light Travel.
The Faster-Than-Light Travel technology in Duanmu Huai's hands came from the Galactic Empire, a place so utterly insane that even fighter jets could use this thing. Naturally, its technology was as mature as it could possibly be. Thus, after using the Reality Stabilizing Anchor to construct a large, physically stable region of the universe, Duanmu Huai gave the Faster-Than-Light Travel technology to Guilliman for research.

The biggest problem with Warp Space Travel was that it was unsafe. After all, the Warp Space was the domain of the Evil Gods. If they wanted to mess with you, all they had to do was prevent you from leaving the Warp Space, and you would become a fish on a chopping board, helpless before them.

From that perspective, Faster-Than-Light Travel was indeed safer than Warp Space Travel. If Duanmu Huai hadn't had the Webway, he would have used Faster-Than-Light Travel instead of the Warp Space too.
Duanmu Huai's plan was to first finish developing Faster-Than-Light Travel, then head
