It's a pity Horus isn't here. As the substitute for this Warmaster, he should have met him.

"Why did you suddenly appear to see me? You are the first Perpetual besides Malcador to come to me of your own accord."

"Sir, I'm seeking your help solely because you've recreated the Earth."

"Throughout my endless life, I have always longed for a place where I can find a moment of peace."

"When I saw this Blue Planet reappear before my eyes, I even thought it was all a dream, but when I set foot on this land, I truly felt the feeling of returning to one's roots."

"Sir, you are incredibly valuable in the eyes of us old folks."

"In this world, the Homeworld is both a blessing and a curse, but you broke Terra's curse, you broke the curse of that dying Homeworld on humanity. You did better Neoth."

The Throne World of humankind is Terra, the Homeworld of Homeworld, and Terra now half-dead.

This undoubtedly foreshadows the future fate of humanity; future Imperium of Man will inevitably be embroiled in constant conflict and will only survive by a hair's breadth.

But in the face of endless fate, Oll Persson saw a different answer.

He saw that the new Nostrano was 99% similar to its original Homeworld!

At the same time, the fluctuations of destiny emanating from New Nostramo are exactly the same as those emanating from Earth tens of thousands of years ago when humanity first explored the universe.

This delighted Oll Persson.

Ultimately, he chose to come here, and he also saw the future of humanity, another answer that humanity has written in this world.

"Sir, Nostramo now gathers nearly half of the oldest Perpetual in the entire universe."

"Nearly half? How could that be so many?"

Because this is home.

Hearing Oll Persson say that, Han Mingxuan's nose suddenly felt a little sore.

He understood Oll Persson's feelings best; Olpeson's initial intention to reshape the New Nostramo to resemble Earth was also to ensure he wouldn't miss his old home too much.

"Then why are you telling me all this now? I can't handle those Perpetual with my abilities. Telling me this will only make me lose a few nights of sleep."

"In fact, after the number of Perpetual reached a certain level, we all reached a tacit understanding."

What kind of tacit understanding is it?

"Your safety must be guaranteed at all costs. This is the current consensus among all the Perpetual in Nostramo. In this world, you are the most special."

"We Perpetual, in the endless ages, have only known where we came from, but have no way back. Now, our way back is before us. We are very grateful to you, thank you."

"There's no need to be so polite, elder."

Wasn't Han Mingxuan doing this, in a way, to find a place for himself to belong?

Although he knew he could go back, the waiting before he could was the most agonizing part.

"Alright, sir, enough of that, let's get down to business."

"Currently, there are two Perpetual you have the most frequent contact with. One is Susan, at least for now she is called Susan. A long, long time ago, she was a member of Human Mystery Cult, mainly in charge of life sciences."

"There's another one named Hawk Hassanti. He's not a member of the Human Mystery Cult, but he's very famous among all the Perpetual. His forging skills and weapons development capabilities are second to none."

"You mean Hawk Hassanti from the Arms Factory?"

"Yes, he was the first to stand up for you and offer to protect your safety."

"Furthermore, among all the Perpetual, he was the first to publicly declare that he would use the technology he possessed to ensure the safety of the entire Planet."

No wonder.

It seems that Underhive District is indeed a place where many talented people emerge. If I remember correctly, Hawk Hassanti's resume states that he was a blacksmith in Underhive District back in old Nostramo.

"The other thing concerns me personally."

"Your personal one?"

"Yes, as his first Warmaster and the oldest Perpetual, I have some ancient things to entrust to you, which may be of use to you."

Han Mingxuan quietly observed the Warmaster, eager to know what Oll Persson would offer.

What secrets does this oldest and most mysterious Perpetual possess?

"Sir, before we proceed, would you mind if I told you a story?"

"Of course, no problem, please go ahead."

Elders often like to tell old fables to illustrate what they want to say, and Han Mingxuan is very familiar with this.

"A long, long time ago, probably tens of thousands of years ago, it's been so long, I can't quite remember."

"At that time, Neoth and I were best friends, and I was his Warmaster. It's just that his humanity was diminishing, and his rationality and Divinity were increasing."

"Until one day we arrived at a place where there was a tower called the Tower of Babel."

"Within the Tower of Babel, there exists an ancient and mysterious power that we call the Enuncia."

"At this time, a religious organization called the Cognisance Faction was researching and using these powers."

"And within the Tower of Babel lies a complete system of Enuncia."

"This creation incantation has no learning curve, is extremely powerful, and can be learned by anyone, but it is also very dangerous."

"On this matter, Neoth and I had a serious disagreement, and ultimately I destroyed the tower and left him, and I remain so to this day."

Why did you bring up Enuncia with me?

Enuncia are similar to words becoming law, but they're not a good thing.

Without sufficient strength and physical endurance, one's entire being will rot after using up the Enuncia.

"Enuncia, this kind of thing is very dangerous; it will directly harm a person's body and soul after use."

"However, I am telling you all this today so that I can impart the Enuncia to you."

"Of course, to outsiders this might seem like it's meant to harm you, but you're a Teacher, you're powerless, and this universe is dark and dangerous."

"Therefore, I need to provide you with some special means of survival."

"Didn't you say you had already destroyed it?"

"That is indeed true, sir, but to this day, I remain the last person to have seen the entire system of Enuncia."

Tsk.

That's quite a veteran.

Finally, Oll Persson handed an Obsidian Bracelet to Han Mingxuan.

Under the sunlight, the Obsidian Bracelet shimmered with a hint of golden light.

Looking at the thing on his wrist, Han Mingxuan could hardly believe it; it was actually the final Enuncia.

However, this thing is useless to me.

Moreover, these so-called "Enuncia" are, to put it bluntly, almost like using a cheat code.

However, due to the soul projection, he hasn't been able to develop more uses for his cheat system yet.
