Just as Sanguinius and Horus led the fleet, carrying the clone's "remains" and Fulgrim's head, on the voyage back to Terra.
For these two primarchs, who had already connected to the Hilling civilian network, one of their greatest pleasures was immersing themselves in that boundless network, whose volume of information far surpassed any Imperial database, and experiencing the seemingly ordinary yet miraculous daily lives of Hilling Empire citizens.
They browsed art exhibitions, learned new knowledge, and even watched Hilling citizens discuss the customs and culture of "newly discovered worlds," enjoying themselves immensely.
