Night Had Fallen

"Purge faith? I'm sorry, sir, I don't quite understand what that means."

"Hehehe, you'll understand. Come on, let's go to New Prospero."

Celestine followed Han Mingxuan closely, but the occasional glances she gave into Han Mingxuan eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"Ask if you have any questions."

"Excuse me, sir, what is New Prospero?"

She knew a little about Prospero, but where was this New Prospero?

"That's Planet of the Sorcerers."

Planet of the Sorcerers?!

"My lord, that's Daemon World!"

That's the Homeworld of the Daemon Prince, the Lord of Changes!

After Prospero's destruction, the entire city of Tizca was swept away by a Warp Storm and subsequently carried to that Planet.

Apart from Tizca City, there is no relatively fixed place on that Planet.

Even the Star around which the entire Planet revolves has nine cycles of change.

"Why would the Chancellor Minister invite you to a place like that? Could this be some kind of conspiracy by Warp Daemon?"

"Don't be nervous, Sister. I've said it before, if you want to follow me, you'd better clear your mind of all your beliefs."

"You can leave now to do whatever you want; you have plenty of time."

Han Mingxuan continued walking forward as he spoke, without any intention of stopping, and Celestine did not stop either; she simply followed him.

Han Mingxuan ignored this and simply led the other party to Planet of the Sorcerers.

On the outskirts of Planet of the Sorcerers, they met the person who had run over to deliver the message to Han Mingxuan —the Department of Internal Affairs official.

"We're inside the Eye of Terror now, there's no need for you to be dressed in human skin."

"Your Excellency, this leather suit is my favorite, and I don't want to damage it."

"Fine, whatever you want. Where is he?"

"The Chancellor is already waiting for you in the Old City of Tizca. Please follow me."

The two followed the Daemon toward Tizca City, but Celestine wasn't just following quietly; she had her own ideas.

Just as everything quieted down, Celestine suddenly rushed out from behind Han Mingxuan and thrust her sword into the man's back.

Golden Psychic Power flames began to burn on the longsword, emitting a putrid stench that made one grimace.

At the same time, the Department of Internal Affairs official moved, but his body didn't move; it was his head that moved.

He turned his face behind him, looking at Celestine with a mixture of helpless mockery and a hint of anger.

"Your Living Saint, as I've said before, this skin is my favorite, and repairing it would be very troublesome."

"Warp Daemon, your schemes end here!"

But upon hearing Celestine's words, the other party did not panic; instead, they burst into laughter.

"Warp Daemon? Your Excellency Living Saint, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Take a closer look, and see just how much your sword can actually hurt me."

Suddenly, Celestine came to her senses and realized that the golden Psychic Power on the sword had very limited effect on the Daemon in front of her.

"What... what the hell are you?!"

"In your common understanding, he's Warp Daemon, but due to Sinleech's influence, it seems the Tzeentch faction isn't very united anymore."

?!

Hearing the unhurried, explaining voice behind him, Celestine felt a chill run down her spine.

Oh no, could the Father of Night be a fake too?!

"I told you this when you first arrived, Sister, if you want to follow me, you need to clear your mind of any preconceived notions."

"Who... who are you?"

Seeing the hatred and suspicion in Celestine's eyes, Han Mingxuan simply smiled and shook his head.

Sure enough, that's just how the world is.

"Am I not the Father of Night you've been searching for?"

"Perhaps your God -God-Emperor didn't tell you, but although I hate the Warp, sometimes the things I do are even more terrifying Warp Daemon."

"And let me tell you a little secret."

"What?"

"From the perspective of humans, there are four Warp Gods, but from the perspective of all beings in the universe, and even from the perspective of Warp other four Warp Gods, there are five Warp Gods."

After saying this, Han Mingxuan drew his sword and nodded to the person leading the way.

"Let's go, take me to see Chancellor Prime Minister."

Then the journey became much quieter. Eventually, the Ministry of the Department of Internal Affairs officials led Han Mingxuan and Celestine to where Sinleech was. Celestine was in a daze the whole way.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Han. It must have been more than ten years ago."

"Yes, it's been over a decade since we last met. But why did you dare to see me first? You know, you deserve some credit for my being here. Aren't you afraid I'll make you fly?"

Upon hearing Han Mingxuan's words, Sinleech's expression stiffened, but he quickly realized that Han Mingxuan wasn't really angry; the other party was joking.

"That's rare, Mr. Han, you actually joke with me."

"After all, you're a breath of fresh air in this world," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

"It seems I've been lectured by you for far too long; now I'm actually feeling a little fortunate—how absurd."

"Alright, enough of our small talk. Now, tell me, why did you call me here?"

Hearing Han Mingxuan say this, Sinleech no longer concealed anything.

Immediately afterwards, a Warp Storm struck, and then, using this storm, Sinleech transformed back into his original form.

The Lord of Changes!

At the very moment that Sinleech reverted to his original form, Celestine was enveloped in an unparalleled golden light.

"Ah~ sorry, Old Cured Meat, I forgot your little figurine is still right next to me."

Facing the Lord of Change, if it weren't for the Emperor's Psychic Power, Celestine would probably have turned into Chaos Spawn in the next second.

This wasn't something I saw in a dream; it was facing the Lord of Change up close.

"Wow, you've changed quite a bit."

Celestine came to his senses and saw Han Mingxuan standing there as if nothing had happened, even commenting on the Lord of Changes.

The Imperium... is over.

The Imperium Chancellor is the Lord of Changes, and the Father of Night, whom the Imperium seeks, chats and laughs with the Lord of Changes.

"Hey, little girl, although I'm the same as him, we're fundamentally very different. Don't compare me, a god, to the district."

"I only became Chancellor because I found it interesting. As for the Lord of Change' you mentioned, he's still processing documents in Terra right now."

Two... two Lord of Change?!

Now, Celestine can only silently recite the Lectitio Divinitatus to keep himself conscious.

"Hey, Old Cured Meat, your little figurine collection isn't exactly a mental fortitude."
