Chapter 231 Large-scale Human Trafficking Transaction
“Because it’s still risky.”

After hearing Ron's words, the emperor, who was sitting on the throne and looked like salted bacon, did not show any emotion. In fact, compared with the previous time, the emperor had only recovered some moisture from the completely dried corpse state. But it was only from 90% dried bacon to 70% dried bacon.

Apart from the body's slight elasticity, any other strenuous movement that requires muscles, joints, and connective tissues, such as standing up or talking, may cause tearing injuries.

"My consciousness is still in the subspace, closing the passage of the evil gods, preventing them from increasing their influence on reality. But it is only a block. I cannot kill them, just like people cannot kill death itself."

"I am indeed immortal. This is my destiny. But the time of rebirth is not constant. It may be one year or several years. During this period of time, my consciousness will be completely extinguished. At that time, the evil gods of chaos will definitely try their best to seize this last chance."

"So take your time. It may take a while, but... we have been sitting here for more than 6,000 years, so a few decades won't make a difference."

"Okay." Hearing this, Ron nodded, and then said bluntly: "Then how do we settle our deal?"

After hearing what Roan and the Emperor said, Guilliman and Corax looked at each other secretly.

They are not fools. Although they did think that Ron was the Emperor's backup plan at the beginning, they could clearly feel during the conversation that the relationship between the Emperor and Ron was not as the state religion claimed that the Emperor was the only God, and Ron was just an angry silhouette.

If Ron was just a silhouette, then there would be no need for the Emperor to show such respect, or even... respect.

Now, although Ron directly pointed out that the relationship between them was a transaction, to be honest, Guilliman and Corax breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They knew the Emperor's will. Although it was changeable, he had never had even the slightest selfishness towards the Empire, or more precisely towards humanity. If the cost would endanger humanity, the Emperor would not proceed. Or, if the cost was acceptable... they would not reject it.

After all, being able to return the Empire to the point where the Webway exploded and the Emperor lost consciousness is what they have always dreamed of.

Perhaps the Empire today has rendered that time as a myth, but Guilliman and Corax were both people who witnessed how humanity, through its own power, emerged from the chaos and launched the Great Crusade under the leadership of the Emperor, and moved towards the Golden Age of the Empire. They missed and longed for that era.

And now, the Internet has been restored to its original state and all hope is restored again. How can they not be excited?
After hearing Ron's question, the Emperor did not dodge, but said concisely and forcefully: "I will do my best to pay the price."

"…What do you mean by doing your best?"

Ron raised his eyebrows: "What I need is to complete the price, not to do your best."

"I know, so I will return a portion of my profits to satisfy you." The Emperor said, "My body needs to stay here to ensure that the veil between the warp and reality is not completely destroyed, but my consciousness can leave here and guide the Empire's troops to complete the mission of the World Tree."

"..."

Ron didn't say anything, just looked at the Emperor quietly. The Emperor also knew that joining the World Tree Field Department and letting the Empire's troops handle some low-difficulty tasks to ensure the normal operation of the worlds was just his most basic responsibility. It can even be said that the Emperor did not even fulfill the most basic responsibility, because his material body and most of his psychic projections remained in the 40k world. It was only the consciousness body that went to the World Tree base universe, not the complete Emperor.

Thinking about it, the Emperor said: "I am willing to hand over one-third of the proceeds from all future missions."

"Two out of three."

"Okay, I'm willing. If it's not enough, you can continue to increase it."

Hearing the emperor's attitude, Ron nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "One third is better. You can keep the rest to decorate the empire's mission team and ensure the efficiency of the mission."

"Okay, the Empire thanks you for your tolerance and understanding."

After hearing Roan's words, the Emperor's mummy-like face also showed a faint smile. But the arc was so small that even Primarchs like Guilliman and Corax could not guarantee whether they saw it clearly.

And after saying all this, Ron was not idle, but said: "Corax."

"Huh?" Corax raised his head in surprise, his long black hair draped behind him and a hint of surprise on his slightly pale face, puzzled as to why Ron called him.

However, Ron simply took out the soul blood bottles of the four demon princes from Helheim and threw them to Corax, and said to the Emperor beside him:

"I have already restored the souls of your children, as well as their ascended demon corpses. The price has been sent to your personal program. Take your pick. There are discounts for package purchases. We support credit and installment payments. No interest will be charged for the first three installments."

After hearing what Ron said, the Emperor's mummy sitting on the throne seemed to have a gleam of brilliance in his dark eyes, and then he quickly said, "Package, credit, and installment payment."

Others may not know how much effort the Emperor has spent on these Primarchs, but the Emperor knows it very well. At the same time, the Emperor understands better than anyone how to activate the true potential of these Primarchs - it was because of the inevitable Warp Storm caused by the deal with Chaos that these Primarchs were accidentally swept away, and some of them seriously deviated from the Emperor's preset track in their subsequent growth, and their values ​​were set, so the Emperor had to bite the bullet and take them in.

But others don't know, but the Emperor doesn't know? Give the Emperor a chance to start over. The Emperor is confident that he can fully stimulate all their potential. And when the time is right, let them awaken their own subspace essence.

The Astartes Space Marine Legions led by a Primarch and the Astartes Space Marine Legions without a Primarch are two completely different things. I won't talk about other things, just the Ultramarines Smurfs during this period. Although they were criticized by Guilliman, the Ultramarines felt ashamed, but they were still arrogant towards other legions - simply saying, "Hahaha! My dad scolded me! Unlike some legions that made mistakes, there is no..."

Of course, the Ultramarines would not express it so bluntly, after all, they were all elite professionals. But the subtle air and sense of superiority were something that other legions could intuitively sense.

The other Space Marine Legions would not hold a grudge against the Ultramarines for their sultry and arrogant expressions. After all, Guilliman abolished the Codex Astartes as soon as he returned. This Codex was created after the Horus Heresy to prevent similar large-scale rebellions from happening again. It was not only effective against the Astartes, but also led to the division of the Imperial Army into the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum. But even Guilliman himself might not have expected that this broken thing could remain unchanged for more than 6,000 years, and instead become more dogmatic and rigid.

The restoration of the legion system, large-scale conscription, and enhanced supply have effectively increased the strength of the various legions. Therefore, the Space Marines still have great faith in this Primarch who is good at government affairs. Therefore, in the face of the Ultramarines' sullen pride, they can only pretend not to care and silently hide their envy in their hearts.

Now, Corax has returned, and according to the news, he has been hunting traitors in the Eye of Chaos for the past six thousand years, and severely blocked the arrival of the first fallen Primarch Lorgar in the Battle of the Webway. This undoubtedly makes the members of the Ravens feel proud, because their father is not simply missing, but launched a fearless revenge and hunting against Chaos, which makes them feel that there is more glorious inheritance in their blood. And...

My father often praises me, unlike some...

For mortals, morale is an important component of combat effectiveness, but the manifestation of this combat effectiveness is not obvious. However, it is different for Space Marines. Space Marines led by the Gene Father will increase their combat effectiveness and organization by more than 30% on the original basis. In particular, the return of the Gene Father will have a direct impact on their genes. The legions that lost their primarchs in the Horus Heresy have more or less developed a large number of genetic and mental problems due to the fall of their primarchs.

Also, the Primarchs' specialties are obvious, but that doesn't mean they are weak in other abilities. On the contrary, apart from the different ways of dealing with things, as long as they calm down, each of them is a literal all-rounder, but during genetic engineering, they further specialized in one aspect based on their original genius.

For the Empire, if it could have four more pure Primarchs, it would be a hundred benefits and no harm. As for the price... compared to the entire human empire, no price is unacceptable.

In other words, there is no need to worry about what the Space Marines should do after humans get back on track.

The Emperor thought to himself - the Thunder Warriors needed to be wiped out with brutal means because their genetic engineering methods were relatively rough, they were mentally unstable, and even showed signs of rebellion. But the Space Marines are different. Whether it is their learning ability, organizational ability, or team combat ability, they are very trustworthy. When the human empire is really on the right track and no longer needs the assistance of the Space Marines, then we can just pack up and buy a world tree...

The Emperor had every reason to believe that Ron would not refuse this gift.

Watching the completion of another round of transactions between Ron and the Emperor, Corax and Guilliman looked at each other, then nodded silently.

They were obviously not qualified to participate in this level of transaction. Even Guilliman, who was an artificial political creature, a top workplace elite, and who deliberately lowered his glass halfway when toasting with the Emperor, was now thinking that it would be inconvenient to call Roen the Saint King in the future.

The reason is simple, because although the Saint King is higher than the High Lord Council in the official hierarchy of the Empire, he is still below the Emperor. And now, looking at the situation when Ron communicates with the Emperor...

Should he address him as Mr. Ron? Mr. Ron? Or the more intimate Uncle Ron? No... If Ron was just thinking of doing business, it would be considered an offense.

While thinking, Guilliman also glanced at Corax beside him. Although Roan did not express much, Guilliman instinctively felt that Roan seemed to be optimistic about Corax. Although he did not know why, he needed to pay close attention...

In fact, it was just because Ron missed Corax's political ideas a little.

After finishing the discussion on the transaction, the Emperor began to announce the next plan for the recovery of the empire.

The plan is actually very simple, which is to strengthen the garrison of the Eye of Terror, because many Chaos evil gods are only blocked in the warp, but their minions can still invade the material world through the Eye of Terror. Now the Emperor's overturning of the table has been effective, and the damage to the webway has been repaired. It can be predicted that for a long time in the future, the Eye of Terror will become a meat grinder battlefield for the confrontation between the Empire and the evil forces of Chaos.

In order to prevent Chaos from making a desperate move, it is quite necessary to strengthen the defense against the Eye of Terror.

In fact, the Martian Mechanicus is now preparing to set off for the star field around the Eye of Terror for reinforcement at the call of the Great Sage Dora Kaur.

Then there is the further reform of the state religion. The reform of the state religion in the past few years was mostly for the Webway War. Now that the Webway War has ended, the Empire has entered a period of prosperity and development, and the corresponding reforms must naturally be put on the agenda. The Emperor has awakened, and there will be little resistance to completing the reform. Especially with two Primarchs here, one is good at internal affairs and the other is good at stealing and beheading behind enemy lines. To deal with those Chaos Space Marines without the commander of the Demon Prince, it can only be said that good days are still to come. There is always one that suits you.

During the process, Ron had no intention of participating. He just sat there bored and waited for the meeting to end.

This also made Guilliman breathe a sigh of relief silently - this was just a simple transaction, and after the transaction was completed, Ron obviously didn't care much about the so-called empire.

Of course, Guilliman was still very happy. After all, if Roan wanted to continue interfering, he had no way to stop him. After all, if Roan hadn't given him the opportunity, he might still be lying in stasis and being visited and worshipped by the descendants of the Legion.

The higher your status, the harder it is to repay favors.

Thinking about this, Guilliman seemed to be somewhat curious and asked, "Speaking of which, Father, you said that in the future Space Marines will form special mission teams to carry out missions?"

"Yes."

"May I ask what the mission is? Are there any special requirements?"
