Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 1198 The New Golden Age
……

On top of Terra's towering navigation tower, the Emperor sipped a drink while admiring the latest giant statue built on Terra.

Soldiers wearing power armor of the Mortal Auxiliary Army, scholars wearing white clothes, workers wearing engineering power armor... They are made of a special metal that can be classified as a type of adamantium.

They gathered together, holding high the flag of the Imperial Sky Eagle.

Above them, the Flame Thunder Eagle hovered with its wings spread, its sharp eagle eyes looking up at the starry sky of Terra.

A large number of newly built warships left Terra's star port and slowly passed in groups in the night sky above the giant statue.

The emperor watched all this with joy.

Prosperous Terra, gradually recovering ecology.

An era belonging to mankind, an era more prosperous and powerful than the peak of mankind in the past, is about to come.

boom--

The sudden sonic boom abruptly drew the Emperor's attention back to the present.

The Emperor turned around and leaned on the railing to look at the newcomers. "If the beings in the Warp do not target us, the human race will eventually prosper more than it did twenty thousand years ago."

"They should have already targeted us, or have targeted us a long time ago." Qin Mo said ambiguously, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that they hadn't prepared to do anything until now. This is beyond my expectations."

"They." The Emperor smiled and shook his head. "They are not them. They are a collection of many concepts and emotions in the warp. They actually have no self. Perhaps for some reason they even have a positive impact on reality. These are the gods."

"But we still have to be prepared," Qin Mo said.

The emperor nodded as a matter of course, but he felt very relaxed at this time.

Some time had passed since the Imperial Senate had given seats to the Astartes, and the Primarchs had returned to the Great Crusade.

The most powerful opponent they encountered was the Randan Empire, which was easily "drowned" by the Imperial Guards, Thunder Warriors, Astartes, and a large number of mortal armies and navies. In fact, that joint operation was not intended to destroy Randan.

Instead, Taranis and Horus discussed it and decided to open up an additional new front. When all parties sent people to open up the new front, they discovered and destroyed Randan.

This is why the Emperor feels at ease at this moment.

"I heard that a kind of green spore animal was discovered on the front line. I know what they are." The Emperor thought of the latest battle report. "Then we two can go together and kill their leader."

"Our existing world has been fully tapped into its potential. There are a huge number of troops, warships, resources, equipment..." Qin Mo walked to the railing, looked at the prosperous Terra and shook his head, "We don't have to go to the front line in person."

Hearing this, the Emperor raised his eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone: "I also want to see with my own eyes the scene of people fighting and contributing their strength for the same goal. After all, the words on the battle report are not as exciting as seeing it with your own eyes."

"Even I feel excited."

The Emperor turned around and gazed at the prosperity under the navigation tower.

"Everything is thriving, people are united, fighting and sacrificing for the same goal."

"The ignorance, hatred and infighting that arose during the low point of development... were all cleansed away by this centripetal force."

Listening to what the Emperor said, Qin Mo looked down at the bottom of the navigation tower and said in a deep voice: "But everything has a cycle, prosperity, decay, rebirth, prosperity... This cycle will never end."

"Entropy increases." The Emperor nodded. "Indeed, even abstract non-material existences will experience entropy increase. But no matter what, the changes they bring will always exist. Even if the empire decays thousands or tens of thousands of years later, it will still prevent the human race from experiencing the fatal low point it usually does. Then someone will stand up and bring about a thriving situation, just like now."

Qin Mo seemed to be thinking about something. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked, "Those leaders in human history who brought people out of the trough, were they mentally strong or did they also have extraordinary powers? I am particularly interested. By the way, do you know these things? For example, some leaders in history were psychics, or had other superpowers."

"Of course not." The Emperor shook his head, "They have not encountered a situation that requires extraordinary strength to deal with." "They are not alone."

"It is because people are longing for the return of rationality and order that many people will stand up. Even if their leaders do not have extraordinary powers, they can gather together to change everything. They are unstoppable and invincible."

"If most people are willing to degenerate, or even miss being degenerate, and are not worth saving, then even if it were you and I, I'm afraid we would be helpless and have no way to help."

Qin Mo thought about it and found it hard not to agree.

Both were silent for a while.

As I leaned over the railing and looked out over Terra, the only sound was the bubbles of my drink popping.

Until the Emperor suddenly asked: "If the human race no longer needs us, what do you want to do?"

"I will solve other problems of the human race." Qin Mo answered without hesitation, "No matter when, there are always troubles that need to be solved, such as the gods."

"Then I will hide in the crowd."

said the Emperor.

"I am only the most powerful psyker of the human race, perhaps the most powerful psyker of any race that has ever existed in the galaxy."

"I am not a powerful entity in the Warp. I am just the most powerful in the real universe."

"But if all human beings were like me, we would no longer have to fear the threats of the gods."

"I will do this after the human race reaches the light, no matter how long it takes, no matter what the cost."

Qin Mo suddenly looked at the emperor.

He remembered the Emperor's plans for Ascension.

This plan simply created a new folder on the data board, and it seemed like an almost impossible plan.

"Then it's settled." Qin Mo looked up at the sky. "When the human race no longer needs us, I will go to the subspace to fight against the gods, and you will study how to let humans ascend in reality. Then you can bring the ascended humans to the subspace to help me."

"If you ask me, you should stay in reality." The Emperor smiled and shook his head, "When humans ascend, we can fight together in the warp."

"If humans no longer need us, we can do whatever we want." Qin Mo nodded.

The Emperor nodded as well.

After a few seconds, the emperor's face suddenly became serious and his eyes became extremely deep.

"Humanity will no longer need us."

"Humanity will also forget us in time."

"That's really..."

“It’s as beautiful as a dream.”
