Children, humanity is not perfect.

"As human beings, we eat grains and other foods, have seven emotions and six desires, and are prone to three calamities and six illnesses."

"The human body is weak, but the human heart is Greed."

Some people Greed, some are arrogant, some are insatiable, and some indulge their Inner Daemon.

"But humans are just that amazing."

"Look up at the sky, children."

The Primarch looked up at the blue sky.

"From this moment on, you are the Perpetual and the Fire Keepers."

The Primarch looked at Han Mingxuan with puzzlement.

Of all the brothers, only the Lord of Drakes should be Perpetual.

"The first footprint left by an ancient ape after it came down from the tree."

"From the first crisp sound of the Stone Age being struck."

"The first spark ignited by the striking of Flint."

From the very first time an ancient ape looked up at the sky, humanity's future was sealed; it was destined to reach for the Sea of Stars.

"Humans are imperfect, but they are hopeful."

"The sky you see when you look up isn't much different from what ancient apes saw, but modern humans are the Overlord species in the universe."

"Because humanity has hope, a thirst for knowledge, and the courage to take on challenges."

"Let civilization burn like an everlasting flame, illuminating the dark galaxy."

"Let the hope in people's hearts flow like a mighty river, forever moving forward."

"In this dark galaxy, the hope in people's hearts is an eternal beacon."

Swish.

Lorgar listened to Han Mingxuan's words, a soft golden light suddenly began to emanate from his body.

His light shone in the Warp, illuminating Warp darkness.

Meanwhile, a fleet of Rogue Trader, lost in the Warp, spotted a golden star.

"Captain, there's light!"

"Are you crazy? Where would light come from in this dark, Warp?"

"There is light, golden stars, golden light."

"Great Emperor!"

The fleet captain looked at that gentle yet resilient light and felt a lump in his throat.

"Full speed ahead, get closer to that golden light!"

"Clear!"

"The entire fleet is entering hypersonic speed mode. All units, be on alert!"

The fleets in Warp near the Peaceful Star System all saw that glimmer of light, which gave them renewed motivation after they had lost hope.

Of course, the Daemon in the Warp also saw it.

However, when they looked at that golden light, they felt a stinging pain in their eyes.

Their eyes were burned to ashes.

At Han Mingxuan's house, everyone watched as the light emanating from Lorgar gradually faded.

"Praise be to your great wisdom, praise be to humanity, my dear Uncle." Lorgar Jia bowed solemnly to Han Mingxuan.

What did you see?

"I saw my lost brethren in the Warp, and I wanted to do something for them."

"Just as truth guides people out of ignorance, I want to lead them out of darkness."

Han Mingxuan looked at Lorgar with satisfaction.

It's still early, and the Monarchia affair is still a long way off. Lorgar can be saved, and she has already been saved.

"So what did you do?"

"Use me to light a lamp for them to move forward; let me be the fire, let me be the lamp."

Immediately afterwards, Lorgar looked at the Emperor.

"Father, I have a request."

"What is it, my child?"

"I want to build a city where we can discuss science, study truth, and light a Lamp for those in darkness."

"Have you decided what to call me yet?"

"It will be called... City of Truth, and the first city will be located in Nostramo in the Peaceful Star System."

When he finished speaking, the Scriptures on his body disappeared completely, and thick black hair slowly grew back on his bald head.

At this moment, he bore a striking resemblance to the Emperor, bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance.

"Alright, I will have Dorn stay to help you with construction, Guilliman stay to help you with planning, and Ferrus Manus and Fulgrim build the most perfect city defenses for your City-State."

"Father, I'll stay too," Horus said.

"Oh?"

"Father, as the First-Returned Son, I want to lay the first brick in my brother's career, given his achievements."

The Emperor was pleased with Horus's performance, but he shook his head.

"I'm afraid that won't work, my child."

"I have to lay this first brick myself."

Boom!

The Emperor himself contributed to his cause!

Lorgar has never received such an honor!

He had never received such an honor when he worshipped Emperors as gods; but now that he treated his father as a human being and began to study the truth, all of this had come true!

"The second brick will be laid by you, Horus Lupercal, the First-Returned Son, the Emperor's most outstanding son," Han Mingxuan said calmly.

The Emperor nodded.

The Horus were dumbfounded.

The father publicly admitted what his Uncle had said!

Indeed, I will always be the most outstanding Primarch and the most excellent Scions!

"The third brick..."

"The third brick will be laid by you, my Uncle, the elder who led me back from the wrong path."

Han Mingxuan looked at Lorgar in surprise.

Originally, he had envisioned that Luo Jia would undoubtedly have to Lorgar the third brick himself.

How did it become me now?

"And what about you, Lorgar?"

"I am just a Lamp, my dear Uncle. To be a Lamp is already a great honor for me."

"If given the chance, I would gladly be the lamp oil beneath the wick."

That's incredible!

This Lorgar's enlightenment is a bit too high; he's gone from a fanatic to Paladin.

"Curze."

"I am, Emperor."

"Are you willing to return to the Imperium and join the Great Crusade?"

"May the light of humanity shine upon the universe, Emperor."

"I'll be waiting for you in Terra. At that time, there will be a return parade in Terra."

"At that time, I will entrust the Eighth Legion to your command. May your strength bring new Order and justice to the Imperium."

"The glory of humanity will live on forever."

After explaining all this, the Emperor finally looked at Han Mingxuan.

"Old Han, we need to talk privately."

In Han Mingxuan's study, the Emperor sat in Han Mingxuan's former seat, while Han Mingxuan sat on the sofa on the other side.

"Emperor."

"Don't be nervous, and thank you for doing so much."

"From the moment you appeared, their futures changed."

"And the facts have proven that you taught Curze very well, very well."

"Maybe now I should think about what kind of table I should make."

That table could fit him, all his sons, his best friends, and Han Mingxuan.

"Heh, I just did what I could."

"Regarding those Thunder Warriors," the Emperor said, "I won't pursue that matter. I believe you have the ability to make them better. Similarly, as for that Necrons, just handle him well."

Hiss.

Huangpizi are truly terrifying.

To prevent any problems, Han Mingxuan had Trazyn hide all the Thunder Warriors.

"Also, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you."

"What?"

"About your Nephews."

Do you want me to help you bring them back?

"Yes."

"That's absolutely impossible, don't even think about it."
