Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 1162 Thank Those Who Deserve Thankfulness
……

Dimensional space.

Garden world, castle.

In the castle's spacious hall, rather than in the dining room, there was a large table filled with sumptuous dishes.

Qin Mo brought some animals and plants from the ancient Terra period that had just been restored by the scientific research department. The Primarchs sat at the table, and those animals and plants were prepared and placed on the table.

Qin Mo sat at the end of the long table, with Ms. Elsa on his left and Angron on his right.

"Thank you, ma'am." Qin Mo said to Aisha very sincerely, "I know it's not easy to take care of them, but you did it, and you did it very well, just like you took care of those children in the Wanderer Tribe. The Lord of Thunder is as grateful to you as I am."

Elsa's iron hand shook gently: "I like these little guys. It's my honor to take care of them."

"Thank you." Qin Mo looked at Angron, "Thank you for helping Ms. Aisha take care of your brothers."

Angron just smiled.

He felt the happiness of his brothers and was so happy that he couldn't even speak.

"Let's start eating." Qin Mo picked up the chopsticks.

"Wait!" Luo Jia suddenly spoke up and raised his hand to suggest, "I suddenly feel that we should pursue a sense of ceremony."

Qin Mo nodded.

Luo Jia closed his eyes and clasped his hands together: "Lord, thank you for giving us such a sumptuous dinner, thank you for giving us a wonderful life, thank you..."

"Didn't I tell you not to steal Magnus's books?" Qin Mo frowned.

Magnus looked at Lorgar with a sly smile: "I told you that the religious development book is not something a little brat like you can read."

Luo Jia had no idea what was wrong with this. He was very confused: "Uncle, don't you think religion is very fascinating? Think about it, an abstract concept, a god that does not actually exist, in ancient times, that god would not give anything, but humans just believe in it."

“Two people who are thousands of miles apart can regard each other as brothers and sisters just because they share the same faith.”

"A group of people who have nothing to do with each other can come together to do the same thing just because of a belief."

Lorgar was very excited.

"And because of different beliefs, two groups that have no hatred towards each other will fight and blood will flow like a river."

"In those distant times when false gods did not give back to mankind, people still believed in gods. Now that gods walk among humans, religion will be particularly powerful."

Luo Jia wanted to say more, but he swallowed the rest of his words because he noticed that Qin Mo's face didn't look good.

He thought he would continue to receive an education in classical mechanics, but he did not.

Qin Mo lowered his head and picked at the pork that Elsa put in his bowl. He was silent for a while, then began to talk about an ancient story.

"In the eighteenth century, when humans still used the AD calendar..."

"Magnus might be the only one who understands what I'm saying, so I'll change the story."

"Thousands of years ago, humans fell. In a civilized world that once belonged to humans, aliens brutally enslaved humans. In order to rule over humans, the aliens trained humans to be their confidants. Then one day, the aliens discovered that the humans they trained were secretly planning to rebel against them."

Qin Mo looked at Luo Jia who was confused.

"Then the alien questioned one of the humans they raised but rebelled against them, saying that your masters had given you food, clothing and daily necessities since you were a child, so why did you help your lowly fellow human beings to fight against your masters?"

"Then the human replied, 'The food I eat is all grown by my fellow enslaved people, and the clothes I wear are all sewn by my enslaved people. How can it be a gift?'" "Put it on you, Lorgar. The same applies to us."

Qin Mo knocked on the plate in front of him.

"What is contained here is cultivated by the learned among mortals, or synthesized by the diligent among mortals. The same is true for what you are wearing."

"With the Himalayas and the mobile fortress as the center, the area is 3,700 kilometers to the north, 2,000 kilometers to the south, and 2,200 kilometers to the east and west. All the people living in this human force today were once either slaves or barbarians who used the dining table as a toilet. They were hungry and poorly clothed, and they hid in their nests and trembled when the powerful came to plunder."

"You say God gave us good dinners and a happy life, but no, it gave us nothing."

After saying that, Qin Mo looked at Luo Jia.

Hearing this, Luo Jia also had some rebuttal in his mind, but before he opened his mouth, Qin Mo guessed what he would say.

"Of course, it is undeniable that Flame and Thunder provided crucial help. It can be said that without the two people represented by the double-headed eagle, there probably wouldn't be a human force like us on Terra. Warlords would still fight each other every day, slaves would be offered as tribute every day, and barbarians would still shit on the table."

"But if there were no mortals, no mortals who are still fighting on the battlefield as we speak, and no brave people who are still rushing to sign up for irreversible and terrible transformations, and no diligent people who are producing weapons and equipment and logistical supplies in factories..."

"Without them, an extraordinary being who spends every day in the laboratory..."

"And another extraordinary being who spent the entire day taking care of problem children, and the rest of the time was either in the lab or giving orders at the front line."

"All of us are still huddled in the mountains outside, and the dream of Terra's unification is still out of reach."

Qin Mo glanced at the Primarchs.

"Extraordinary beings and mortals have shaped all of this together. We have accomplished each other, and together we have given what we can and done what we can for a dream that is greater, more beautiful, and more unattainable than the dream of unity."

After saying that, Qin Mo waited for the Primarchs to gain some insights.

Little Horus thought for a moment and suddenly said, "We are born extraordinary. We are stronger than ordinary people, and we should also bear more... Father seems to have trained us as weapons. Even though he never said anything, I can feel it."

Qin Mo nodded in agreement: "Horus is right. I don't want to explain your fate to you so early, but if there are things that mortals cannot do, and responsibilities that mortals cannot shoulder, when you grow up, you have to do it and bear it."

As he spoke, Qin Mo looked at Luo Jia again: "If you expect that the two of you who think you are gods are just extraordinary people, and that you can be as omnipotent and omniscient as gods, and then you don't have to bear or do anything, and just think, ah, leave it to the omnipotent gods. Then you have unrealistic delusions."

"Your father was herding sheep in Asia Minor when he was a dozen years older than you. When I was your age, if I didn't have a dedicated mother like Ms. Aisha watching over me, I would have choked to death on my pacifier if I turned over."

"There are no gods, only extraordinary people and mortals."

After saying that, Qin Mo stared at Luo Jia.

"do you understand?"

Faced with this question, Luo Jia thought for a moment before answering: "Yes, uncle, I understand."

"You know nothing."

"A momentary language education can't change anything, even for someone like you who was born extraordinary."

Qin Mo raised his hand and pointed at Magnus, then at Lorgar.

"I can only warn you at this early stage of your education because it is more powerful than words."

"Anyway, if you steal Magnus's books again, I guarantee you'll have to sleep with your butt tucked up for the next month."
