Blood and Vitality Tempering

The increased Psionic Energy of these newborn children are likely due to their prolonged exposure to powerful beings in the Warp.

This allowed them to form a closer connection with the Warp during their creation.

The Emperor loved humans, but Emperor loved purebred humans even more.

Even many Abhumans might be seen as similar to Xenos by the Emperor.

The fact that Emperor loved women can actually be used to judge this from many other aspects.

For example, the imperial guards in the palace, who were treated like precious treasures by the Emperor and were never Adeptus Custodes.

If ordinary humans are the Emperor's currency, then these genetically pure humans are the Emperor's gold coins!

Black Sun: Hahahaha, purebred humans! So many purebred humans!!

Of course, problems also arise.

In a certain frontier world, a group of traditionalist families not involved in the plan formed the "Pureblood Alliance," claiming to "protect the original bloodline bestowed by the Emperor."

Black Sun: You son of a bitch...

A conflict nearly erupted, until Guilliman made a decision that surprised everyone:

He invited the alliance's representatives to Macragge, not to give them a lecture, but to give them a tour.

The delegates visited the gene disease treatment center and saw the people suffering from mutations;

I visited the school and saw the "Children of the New Era" learning and playing with ordinary children;

Finally, they were taken to the archives and shown a big data visualization of human genetic degradation over the past 20,000 years.

The delegation leader, an old soldier Gorgon, silently reviewed all the materials and then asked only one question:

"Sir, if... if we choose not to participate, what will become of our children in the future?"

Guilliman's answer was straightforward, "They will face a completely random genetic lottery, just like all the children of the past ten thousand years."

They may be healthy, or they may be unfortunate.

The goal of the plan is not to eliminate anyone, but to give everyone another choice, a choice that allows future generations to avoid jeopardizing their health at the cost of birth."

After returning to his homeland, Gorgon disbanded the "Pureblood Alliance".

He said at a community rally, "I still believe that our bloodline is worth cherishing."

But the Primarch is right: true cherishing is not about clinging to a past that may carry pain, but about ensuring children have a healthy future.

The choice should be in the hands of every family.

With the help of biological culture devices, just two months later, when the first wave of "Children of the New Era" began to enter puberty, an unexpected cultural phenomenon emerged.

These children did not form a segregated elite class.

They came from all walks of life; they were the sons of farmers, the daughters of technicians, and the brothers of soldiers.

However, they do share some commonalities: greater adaptability, fewer chronic health problems, and faster cognitive development in certain areas.

With the help of Guilliman's dedicated educational programs, their mental age remained consistent with their physical age.

The common people began to refer to them as the "Plain Yellow Banner".

Initially tinged with a touch of irony, the term originated from an unearthed historical document from Old Terra, originally referring to a privileged class within an ancient Imperium.

But soon, the meaning of this word was reinterpreted.

In popular understanding, "yellow" no longer represents skin color or privilege, but rather "golden bloodline".

The "new human beings" symbolize health, vitality, and hope for the future.

The children themselves have accepted the title, but they prefer to interpret it as "the rightful heir of Ultramar".

This means that what they are inheriting is not privilege, but the hope of Ultramar the great cause of Guilliman, the King of Guilliman!

Deep within the Primarch Temple of Macragge, this place is less a dwelling and more a biomechanical cage designed to house beings of supernormal abilities.

Of course, it's a voluntary prison.

No one in the world can imprison the Primarch.

The five-meter-thick solid marble wall is embedded with a wave-damping alloy layer, and each of the seven airtight gates is strong enough to withstand direct fire from the main guns of a warship.

Pale blue Psionic Energy suppression runes flowed through all the seams.

This is not to prevent external interference with the Primarch.

On the contrary, it was to prevent "something" unconsciously released by the Primarch from spreading throughout the entire Hera Fortress like seismic waves.

Yvraine, the leader of the Ynnead Army, walked silently through the corridor.

Her dark purple body armor gleamed with a dim light under the cold glow of the emergency lights on the corridor walls, like the faint light of a deep pool under the night sky.

She was invited to serve as Guilliman's "Psionic Energy mentor".

The title is somewhat ironic, considering that she is to mentor a being whose Psionic Energy power has reached the pinnacle of human abilities and has even begun to touch upon certain non-human realms.

In the recently concluded recapture of Ultramar, Guilliman's tactics sent a chill down the spines of all observers, allies and potential enemies alike.

Guilliman made no attempt to conceal his true nature; in any future large-scale demonic battles, he would simply kill the demons and extract their Warp Essence.

Given the strange prophetic and clairvoyant abilities of Psyker in Warhammer, this trait cannot be kept secret for long.

Instead of hiding it, it's better to show it openly.

This also made everyone realize that Guilliman's strength was not just in terms of raw power.

He not only defeated the creations of Chaos, but also "devoured" them in a perplexing way.

Whenever his blade pierced the bloated shell of the Nurgle Daemon, or his Psionic Energy flames burned away the core of the Tzeentch beast.

The purified Warp Essence did not dissipate back into the Ethereals, but were instead drawn into his body like a vortex.

Imperium scholars recorded the data with trepidation: the Primarch's Psionic Energy readings increased at least twentyfold during the expedition.

If measured by the crude twenty-four-level Psionic Energy strength scale used by humans, he would already be firmly at the highest level.

Even among the Grey Knights, who specialize in hunting demons and whose members are all exceptional Psionic Energy monsters, Guilliman stands out as one of the best.

Of course, Guilliman was also aware that he was still far from being at the pinnacle of mortal Psionic Energy.

For example, Mephiston, the mysterious Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels, is rumored to possess Psionic Energy approaching those of a demigod, enough to freeze time and reshape the climate.

Even now, Guilliman has not awakened to the Warp Essence Primarch.

Within this powerful body, the Warp Essence originating from the Emperor and belonging to the being "Robert Guilliman" seems to exist entirely nonexistent.

This body is more like an extremely efficient but somewhat "empty" container, which is being slowly filled and strengthened by a new soul in another way.

Even so, relying solely on this savage accumulation of "devouring," given time, he might very well be able to touch the threshold of a Lesser God in the Warp, or even... go further.

Lost in thought, Yvraine had already arrived at the first gate.
