The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Within those crystal pods, the ancient Eldar could communicate with and adjust constructs or unmanned devices countless light-years away. They didn't even need to participate in wars themselves; simply projecting their consciousness onto distant psychic constructs was enough to carry out most exploration and conquest missions, shaping a pan-galactic empire spanning numerous worlds.

Even the souls of deceased Eldar would enter these pods, but unlike the Infinity Circuit, their soul forms could move freely and even be reborn when they deemed it appropriate. In a sense, being resurrected from the spirit tree was an event that every Eldar would experience in their lifetime. They could transfer their souls to new bodies, meaning their lifespan only had theoretical limitations unless accidents occurred.

However, this made it difficult for their lives to be filled with meaningful interactions. Danger and excitement seemed to become the only appealing things in their long lives, and all known pleasures and joys began to bore many Eldar.

Solzhenitsyn couldn't comprehend this feeling of being "too bored from living too long," but he guessed that it was one of the roots of the Eldar's fall.

Born in sorrow, die in ease; the ancient saying still holds great meaning.

However, he was curious about one thing: Did the idle Eldar of the past ever consider exploring space beyond the galaxy? If they considered and executed it, did they discover anything, or were there Eldar civilizations outside the galaxy that they didn't know about? Or was the Eldar's efforts blocked by something, preventing them from exploring the worlds outside the galaxy?

"Yes, Lord Jain Zar has mentioned these things, but she doesn't know the specific results because she was just an ordinary girl before the Fall and didn't have access to such high-level information. Perhaps Hafee knows more than she does."

"Then what are the main difficulties in rebuilding the spirit tree?"

"Technology, huge amounts of energy, and the requirements for the rooting location. The first is relatively easy to solve; the technology might be available from some ancient Bonesingers. But according to Hafee, the energy required for the spirit tree must be at least the scale of three Infinity Circuits, which is equivalent to the energy supply required for three Craftworlds. The location is even more difficult. The spirit tree is an existence that runs through reality and the Warp. Its trunk can exist in reality, but its roots must be rooted in the core node of the Webway. However, during the Fall, many Webway core nodes collapsed one after another, and now there is only one place left."

Solzhenitsyn immediately thought of that place.

"Commorragh."

"These are all long-term plans, so you don't need to worry too much about them. The more chaotic the situation, the more we have to stabilize. The Tyranids won't walk through the Warp; who knows how long it will take them to crawl to the galaxy like that."

"Yes, that's the truth. Let's take it one step at a time."

As the two communicated in this creature's mind, the Eldar around them felt the power emanating and surging from Veronica, which was pure life force and maternal power. Its scale quickly swept through the entire Craftworld, surprising many non-Eldar races and enveloping the Spiritbone Dragon.

"The souls of Malan'tai have received their redemption."

When Veronica's palm left Bandaram, she looked at the weeping Wenselas Prophet.

"Prophet Wenselas, there is no need to be sad. They have become the most primitive state of the Eldar, an ending that returns to oneness. No matter what it once was, it is now a member of the Eldar. It will always exist as a member of the Eternal Court."

At this time, the light on Bandaram's body gradually dissipated, and its body underwent tremendous changes. Its entire size increased by a circle, with a length of nearly a hundred meters from head to tail. The original gray-white Spiritbone became like tall and verdant plants, and its limbs and tail were like roots and thick branches. The emerald green was dotted with golden hot light, and the carapace of its body was like rough and knotty trees. The soft, translucent wings were covered with thorny patterns, bringing out some magical fluff when waving, and the horn and bone plate on its head also became a forked tree crown structure.

At the same time, many multi-legged creatures resembling spiders, with a length of nearly one meter, could be seen drilling in and out of the gaps in the dragon's carapace. Its appearance was very similar to a dimension spider, which is a psychic creature that can only inhabit the infinite circuits and webways of each Craftworld. Its function is like an immune system, responsible for finding and eliminating all Chaos minions that pollute the infinite circuit. It has a unique restraint ability against Warp creatures and belongs to the purification mechanism of the Webway itself. Because they have the function of protecting the Webway and the Craftworld, they are also called white guards. (So the Emperor must have missed a lot of things when he was building the Webway, including safety measures. It is not surprising that a project that was rushed into operation had major safety accidents.)

However, the dimension spiders that emerged from the dragon's body showed an emerald color, and they were larger and looked more ferocious. The forelimbs were in the form of sharp claws.

This change caused the Eldar to exclaim, and the prophets were even more amazed because they sensed the changes that had taken place in this creature from the inside out.

Prophet Wenselas wiped away his tears, stood up, and bowed to Veronica in thanks:

"Your Majesty's kindness is like the vast stars, and the people of Malan'tai will always be grateful for your virtue."

Veronica nodded and said softly:

"Its name will be Bandaram from now on, and it is also the miracle of life of Malan'tai."

After that, Veronica simply did not return to the flagship, but started "working" on the spot. At this time, the battle was basically over, and the rest was cleaning up. Most of the Orks were wiped out, and their mountains of corpses needed to be incinerated. A few scurried into the deeper layers of the Craftworld, but they were just struggling to die because the Eldar prophets' eyes of surveillance had already spread to every corner of the Craftworld with the help of the Spiritbone structure. They had nowhere to hide and would be hunted down by the Eldar hunting squads one by one.

After a quick Spiritbone inspection, the Malan'tai Craftworld also confirmed the basic situation.

After a long war and a cruel disaster, this Craftworld was indeed dilapidated. Not only had the artificial sun gone out, but the water inside the Craftworld, such as the lakes, had long dried up due to lack of maintenance. The artificial forests and ecosystems were basically withered, and a large number of key equipment was damaged. Including the weapon system, less than half of it can be started and operated normally. Especially the core Wraithbone spirit vein network has multiple fractures and losses, which makes the energy transmission and guidance system of the entire Craftworld basically paralyzed, and can only use the lowest speed for slow "drift."
