Chapter 692: Heading into the Darkness

The fleet traveled through the void. They had arrived at the edge of the Milky Way through the webway and were heading towards the dark places at the edge of the Milky Way. The fleet was moving very fast. The superluminal speed brought to them by the curvature engine allowed them to quickly reach the Mandeville point of the current galaxy, and thus begin their subspace navigation in this dark area.

Just like when humans explored the Milky Way in the past, for this galaxy, it is still distance that separates the worlds. The superluminal navigation of the curvature engine is still too slow in this galaxy. Only with the help of subspace navigation can the fleet reach the distant other side of the stars in just a few months or even weeks.

On the current fleet, Wang Ming was staring at a group of traversers who were in training. He was looking at these traversers in training, their excellent tactical coordination and the strategic tactics after being sorted out by the fleet tactics. A hundred years have passed, and they have changed from the traversers who cried when they knew they had traveled to this desperate universe to warriors who can now watch the birds singing and the flowers blooming in the chaos evil god.

Sometimes time really passes so quickly. It has only been a few hundred years since they traveled to this universe. They have changed a lot of things in this universe, liberated the world, recovered lost territories, and established a new order on those worlds. The people's livelihood in this desperate universe has been greatly improved, and the humans in this universe have been made much safer.

At least within the boundaries of the human empire today, no planet will be destroyed overnight by the traitors of Chaos. There are now Imperial troops stationed on every world, and they all have the power to protect themselves before the Imperial support arrives. Everything has changed a lot, but the shadows in the galaxy have not been dispelled. The power of the Chaos God is still the same as before. Their power affects all mortal beings in the galaxy. The connection between the High Heaven and the mortal world is so great that all creatures with souls will be affected by the High Heaven. Everything has changed, and yet it seems as if it has not changed at all.

Therefore, in order to completely isolate Zhigaotian from the mortal world, Wang Ming led his fleet to the dark place on the edge of the Milky Way. He hoped to find the so-called way to become a god through some things there that have not yet been discovered by humans. This is not like those immortal cultivation novels he read before he traveled through time, where something like cultivating to become a god and ascending to heaven. Wang Ming knew better than anyone how abstract the gods in the subspace were.

He just wanted to use this power, because only the evil gods in the subspace could kill those who were also evil gods. Now he could only think of a way to solve all the problems in the universe in this way. Otherwise, the Chaos Evil God would still be a mountain pressing on them, which could never be moved and would always be on their shoulders.

Wang Ming was watching the traversers' training while thinking about things, until the alarm sounded that the fleet was about to enter the subspace, Wang Ming's mind was pulled back to reality. He looked at the portholes that were closing quickly, turned around and left the training ground and returned to his room.

Nowadays, the most thing Wang Ming does on the fleet is to communicate with Isa. As the god of the Eldar, Wang Ming has many questions to ask Her. Although he does not know exactly what the gods of the Eldar are made of, and what their connection with the warp is like, but since his current goal is to use the power of becoming a god to destroy those Chaos evil gods, he must understand those things about the gods.

In this way, the fleet entered the warp. Wang Ming also spent several days communicating many things with Isa. During this time, he also learned what the gods of the Eldar were and that they were also connected to the warp. However, this was not of much help to Wang Ming's plan. He could not replicate the process of the gods of the Eldar because he was a creature of the physical universe. He could only become a warp entity through the faith of intelligent creatures like the Emperor.

But his soul is not affected by the warp. He is not untouchable, he is also a psychic, but the special nature of the soul from another world makes him unable to be directly affected by the warp like the psychics in this world. Wang Ming now even suspects that the psychic abilities given to him by the Emperor are actually drawn from His power, or are forcibly bestowed on his soul by Him. However, this only allows him to use the power in the warp, and has no effect on his plan.

"I still have to find a way from that black area. The lost world of mankind, those aliens with a strong connection with the Supreme Heaven, and even those subspace phenomena that appear in the real universe are all my opportunities. Damn it, I even feel like a Vashtor now. At least the purpose is the same."

Wang Ming looked at the holographic projection screen in front of him, which was playing the various explanations of the subspace knowledge he had obtained from the Inquisitors of the Tribunal on Terra. To be honest, when Wang Ming got these things from the Inquisitors, each of them was facing a great enemy. Some of them even wanted to fight with Wang Ming directly and use their own lives to delay time to destroy these things.

In fact, Wang Ming understood the actions of these Inquisitors. After all, a Primarch had such a great interest in the Warp that it was hard not to think of the traitors in the Warp. Moreover, Wang Ming's current status in the Empire was like that of Horus. Although Wang Ming was not given the title of Warmaster, the combat capabilities demonstrated by the 21st Legion and the things they had done in the past few hundred years.

Those inquisitors had no doubt that if Wang Ming betrayed the Empire, the galaxy would be hit by a disaster even more terrible than the Horus Heresy. After all, the weapons and equipment in the hands of the 21st Legion, as well as those creations that were suspected to be from the dark technological age, would make it easy to destroy a large galaxy, just like what they had done before, turning an entire star system into a wasteland in a very short time, in order to establish an isolation zone to block the Tyranids.

So many people in the Empire are actually wary of the 21st Legion. They are afraid that Wang Ming will become the next Horus, but will Wang Ming become the next Horus? That is absolutely impossible. He is not the so-called Warmaster, nor is he the true son of the Emperor. He comes from the era when humans have not yet set foot on the stars, from the most beautiful cradle era of humans. In that era, humans have not yet stepped out of the cradle of the earth. Compared with this dark universe, that world is like heaven. He has the moral values ​​​​from that era, and also has the growth experience from that era. Naturally, he cannot have a broken childhood like those Primarchs in this world... Well, it seems that the psychological problems of a large number of Primarchs come from this. It seems that the problem of education is still very important.

As Wang Ming thought about this, he continued to open a video about subspace information. He was not worried about what impact these things would have on him or the fleet while sailing in the subspace. After all, he was like an emperor now, and he also arranged a thing similar to a star torch above the fleet. This thing operated through his subspace essence, and the golden flame kept it ignited, and the golden light illuminated every corner of the fleet.

This thing is like an enhanced version of Geller's Stand, and it also has a huge anti-subspace pollution ability. As long as this thing exists, almost no demons can invade the fleet. After all, the reputation of the 21st Legion in the subspace is like the reputation of the subspace demons in the real universe. Almost all demons will choose to escape after seeing the golden light that makes them feel sick.

After all, no demon wants to experience the feeling of being really killed. Just as mentioned before, in the warp, the notoriety of the 21st Legion has become a consensus among the demons in the warp, especially what they have done in the warp, clearing out all the demons in an area. Now, they have become a horror legend in the warp. The demons have now developed the habit of running away as soon as they see the golden light, no matter it is the warp entity that is like the cold sun or the fleet of the 21st Legion, running away is the right thing to do.

After all, no demon wants to die, and the fleet is sailing steadily towards its destination. This time they are heading to a world with Federation records in the dark corner of the Milky Way. It is a weapons testing site of the Federation and also the largest outpost world built by the Federation on the edge of the Milky Way. This outpost world connects several surrounding worlds together, and it can be regarded as the largest gathering place of human worlds on the edge of the Milky Way.

This time the fleet went to that area mainly to see if there is any human civilization surviving in this area, and to look for those strange subspace phenomena and those strange subspace creations in this corner that humans have not set foot on for thousands of years. These things are closely related to Wang Ming's plan.

Just as the fleet was about to enter this star field, a war was breaking out on the fleet's destination world in this star field, the world that was once an outpost of the Human Federation. It is not accurate to call it a war. This was not like the war in the concept of the time travelers. Instead, it was like two tribes fighting for territory.

Humans and alien tribes are fighting for territory, and the territory they are fighting for is the ruins of a huge city. If there is an Imperial at the scene, he will immediately recognize that it is not a city, but obviously the remains of a huge hive city.

This is a very broken hive city. Yes, the word broken is the most appropriate to describe this hive city. The original structural frame of this huge hive city has not completely collapsed, but half of its area seems to have been completely wiped out by some kind of weapon. Moreover, around the wreckage of this huge hive city, the wreckage of starships like giant beasts stand on this land.

Some of these starship wreckages can clearly see the characteristics of the Human Federation, but some are not what human ships should look like. It is obvious that this world has experienced a huge war, a war between humans and an alien race. After the war, the few starships of mankind all fell on this world in this war, and the alien races that invaded this world remained in this world forever, and have lived with humans for tens of thousands of years.

After tens of thousands of years, the humans in this world and the aliens in this world are still constantly engaged in various wars. After all, humans and the alien race have a feud. Humans regard these aliens as their eternal enemies, while those aliens regard these humans as their only source of food in this dead world. After all, compared to humans who can still rely on some technologies left over by the Federation, whose names they don't even know now, to produce food, those alien races can only regard humans as their food.

This alien race was actually once a very respectable race, but now, like their ancestors in the barbaric times recorded in history, they have abandoned their former civilization and are fighting all kinds of battles with humans in this world like wild beasts.

The humans in this world have also forgotten everything about the Human Federation. Apart from some records left by their ancestors, they have almost forgotten their identities as citizens of the Human Federation. They now only know that they come from a world civilization called Earth. Their civilization was once extremely powerful in the Milky Way, and their relatives are spread throughout the galaxy. But now they can no longer set foot in the starry sky. Now they can only look up at the bright starry sky when the night falls in this world.

They often wonder which world in the starry sky they come from, which light spot in the starry sky is their former mother star, and which light spot has their blood relatives looking at them from afar. They do not think that their blood relatives have forgotten them. They must have encountered more difficult things in their own world. Their world can no longer set foot in the starry sky, and the situation in other worlds should not be much better. Whenever the humans in this world think so, they will pray from the bottom of their hearts for those blood relatives scattered in the galaxy, wishing them safety and hope that they can find them in the distant future.

They have forgotten the time when they were the Human Federation, but they have never forgotten their own names. They are human beings, they are the remnants of that unknown and powerful civilization. They live in this world, waiting for their blood relatives or themselves to set foot on the starry sky again one day and return to the great civilization of mankind.
