When the sun once again shines on the land of Terra.

Guilliman personally greeted Vulkan who had just landed at the landing site.

Lord of Drakes can see the confusion and sleepiness in his brother's expression.

Under the leadership of Guilliman, Vulkan followed Guilliman to a secret room.

The two talked inside for a long time.

Vulkan walked out of the room with doubts and confusion on his face.

Guilliman told Vulkan Men of Iron's test plan and his encounter with Corax who appeared out of thin air.

This Primarch brother who has been hunting Traitors among Warp for ten thousand years told Guilliman a shocking news.

Emperor dropped the omen, and it was because of Emperor's will that Corax left Warp to see him.

He must participate in Men of Iron's crazy test plan and find clues about Imperium Stone from Chaos God at the critical moment.

After that, he only needs to tell Eagle of Chogoris the clues.

After Corax finished speaking, he turned into a twisted and weird black shadow and disappeared directly in front of Guilliman.

Just like when he appeared, there was no trace.

Guilliman knows that his brother has the ability to travel through the shadows.

But the moment the other party disappeared, Guilliman felt that he had seen something terrible.

Twisted and weird, but that was definitely not the brother he knew.

But the feeling that comes from the bloodline reminds Guilliman all the time, that is Corax.

He didn't know whether he should trust the other person.

The meaning of Emperor conveyed by Corax is obviously to allow Men of Iron to perform their tests, and also predicts that Men of Iron will successfully summon Chaos Gods to appear.

Otherwise, Corax would have no chance of finding any clues from those Chaos Gods.

As for Imperium's Keystone.

Guilliman knows very well that it must be referring to the brother with extremely low emotional intelligence, Rogal Dorn.

Honesty, loyalty, and the ability to accuse others of their mistakes without hesitation and straightforwardness.

No one can use the title Stone except Dorn.

As for Dorn and Guilliman, I don't really hate them, but I can't say how good their relationship is.

After all, no one wants to be blamed when they are frustrated.

Moreover, the emotions of Dorn and Progeny are also different from those of other Primarch brothers.

He and Progeny are more like comrades with a deep friendship, rather than a blood relationship like Gene-sons and Primarch's father.

Even Sigismund, whom Dorn values the most, does not show the affection that Guilliman sees as the bond between father and child.

It's the general's praise and appreciation for top soldiers.

Dorn regards the entire Imperial Fists army as a huge military camp, and turns his belief into the belief of all Progeny.

In Horus Heresy, the Imperial Fists army was almost completely destroyed by Traitors.

Their loyalty is engraved in their genes and cannot be corrupted.

As a friend of Dorn, Horus knows very well the tenacity of this brother and Progeny.

So a bloody trap was set at Isstvan.

It's just that Imperial Fists's fleet lost its way on the way to Isstvan V. As a result, Phall Star System and Iron Warriors started an amazing space battle.

This battle made Perturabo, who had always been jealous of him, even more annoyed.

And later built a fortress called Eternal Fortress to provoke Dorn.

Perturabo wanted to destroy Dorn and his remaining Progeny, but ultimately failed.

Massive Ultramarines reinforcements gathered from Ultramar arrived in time and successfully rescued Dorn and some of the remaining soldiers.

Imperial Fists Legion was almost completely exhausted in the eternal battle of Fortress.

After Horus Heresy ended, Dorn and Guilliman stayed together in Terra for a long time.

Guilliman is responsible for restoring Imperium's vitality, while Dorn is working hard to restore his own legion.

Although the relationship between Guilliman and Dorn is not harmonious, Guilliman still will not ignore Dorn's merits and loyalty.

And this is where Guilliman has a headache.

The state of Corax worries him, and the so-called meaning of Emperor he brings is full of risks.

But the other party specifically mentioned Stone.

It is difficult to imagine that a potentially corrupted person would seek out Dorn.

After all, the return of Dorn will definitely enhance the power of Imperium.

The contradictory status has even made Guilliman wonder whether this Corax has the same problem as Horus.

Maybe what he said was just to make up a story so that he would agree to Men of Iron's test and cause some disaster.

Guilliman and Vulkan expressed their worries and confusion, but did not receive any possible suggestions.

On the contrary, Vulkan also fell into it.

However, after learning the news about Leman Russ's return, Vulkan still acted very happy.

And immediately came up with a suggestion.

Leman Russ is the most sensitive among the brothers, maybe Guilliman should tell the other party all this.

After all, Corax said that he would participate in Men of Iron's test plan, and he will definitely show up when the time comes.

Russ may be able to tell whether the other party's status is normal.

If something goes wrong, Russ can easily restrain the opponent, after all, he still holds Dionysian Spear.

Guilliman nodded to Vulkan, then pondered for a while and made a decision.

The originally planned meeting was canceled and he had to go to the scene.

All loyal Primarch will personally participate in this dangerous operation.

They must go.

When it comes to Emperor's will, the opinions of those insects no longer matter.

He needs to gather the wisdom of Primarch people to analyze the problems involved.

He temporarily handed over the Imperium affairs to Raven Guard and Imperial Fists who had been following him to learn political decision-making, and retained the Archon team transferred from Ultramar to assist him.

He needs to get away for a while.

King Ultramar and Lord of Drakes soon departed from Terra in the fleet.

When the ship sank into Warp, Guilliman saw such a calm Warp for the first time.

Even though he did not accept his Warp Essence, the golden glow plated in Sea of Souls was still clearly reflected in Primarch's eyes.

The space filled with purple-red or blue-violet is now mixed with soft, like Terra Astronomican golden glow.

The rolling Chaos wave was suppressed, and the rolling Chaos fog disappeared.

Even saw the other Imperial Ships on the same voyage for the first time in Warp.

Although it is very far away, we can indeed distinguish each other clearly.

The ship sailed through it without any hindrance, and Navigator's instructions were clear and unambiguous.

For many Imperial Ships, the Warp sailing during this period has been unprecedentedly efficient and smooth.

But the same large number of reports and testing data of Adeptus Mechanicus also prove one thing, the wave of Chaos will soon spread across Warp again.

The intensity of Psychic Astronomican in some remote locations is declining rapidly, and the shining glow is gradually extinguishing.

No one knows what changes this ancient will will bring to Warp when it is dying.
