The Sun King's Evidence

"You are the Old One." Mazda-Moody said calmly when he looked at the Lord of Humanity standing in front of him.

"..." This time the emperor surprisingly did not refute, he just stood there calmly.

"But you are not the Ancient Saint we expected, you are not our master." Lord Demon Toad shook his head repeatedly: "You are just an unlikely Messiah."

An unlikely messiah? Fulgrim frowned, what was Mazda Moody talking about?

"...It doesn't matter what I am." The emperor said something. He had no intention of defending anything: "But I think it is necessary for us to communicate."

"Come in with me, young Ancient Sage." There was no expression on the Demon Toad's face.

The huge pyramid opened its doors in front of the Lord of Mankind...

In the ancient and profound ancient pyramid, the demon toad Mazda Moody raised his holy throne. He raised his eyes and looked at the magical and glorious ancient pyramid, the sun stele, and the moon stele, silently.

The emperor's gaze was focused on the clear pond.

Under the pond is a pattern of stars.

In the dark galaxy, a black crack splits the entire galaxy into two halves.

A human with a laurel wreath on his head and a "U" symbol on his shoulder announced his return holding a long sword burning with golden flames.

"Roboute Guilliman?" Fulgrim was a little unbelievable at first, but then he saw the figure of Inani, the Eldar God of Death, in the mural at the bottom of the pool.

If his father had not returned because of Lion's efforts, would Guilliman also be resurrected because of the power of the Eldar Death?

The Emperor's Children Primarch thought in his mind.

"Young Old Saint, what do you want to do when you return to this world?" Mazda Moody didn't care what the Emperor would do, and to some extent, there was even a lack of basic respect in his words. : “What can you do to help the big plan?”

"Your plan?" The emperor frowned. He seemed to be used to the indifference of the demon toad.

These creatures are servants created by the ancient saints. They are cold-blooded in the true sense.

What is a cold-blooded species?

Keep them if they are useful, discard them if they are not useful, and execute them if ordered. They never consider favors or relationships. All of their existence is to complete the "big plan" left by the ancient sanctuary. Everything does not conform to the big plan. Everything must be destroyed.

To this end, these servants of the ancient saints have spent tens of thousands of years.

So why the “big plan”? What’s the point of accomplishing the “big plan”?

That is not a problem that these cold-blooded species need to consider. As long as they are in order to complete the big plan, they will form an alliance and start a war. They will not feel pity because they have fought side by side, nor will they give up an alliance just because they were mortal enemies.

"The big plan is our mission. When the Star Gate is destroyed and our master leaves, the mission of protecting this world falls on us. This is the will of the ancient saints, and we should implement it." Mazda Moody spoke The voice is very slow, and it can feel the power of the creation behind it, which is enough light to illuminate the entire galaxy: "You have inherited the legacy of the ancient saint."

"What's the big plan?" the Emperor's answer sounded like it didn't answer the question.

Mazda-Moody didn't answer.

In fact, after tens of thousands of years of discussion among the Slann people about the big plan, they have yet to get a unified answer. Many of the contents of the prophecy tablets left by the ancient saints are unclear, and every Slann has his own opinion.

And all the Old Saints who really knew what the big plan was had left, and all the first-generation Slann had been killed in the battle.

Behind the few words on the surface are countless psychic communications. The Demon Toad is using terrifying power to communicate with the Lord of Humanity. It seems that it is not afraid of the Emperor's power at all, or in other words, it doesn't care.

No one knows what the Emperor and Mazda-Moody said.

After a long time, Mazda Moody spoke again: "If what you say is true, young Ancient Sage, this will be a noteworthy issue. After leaving the guidance of the Ancient Sage for tens of thousands of years, no one can Interpret for us those ancient stone tablets and the technology that has been shelved."

"If you servants of the ancient saints allow it, I can interpret the contents of those stone tablets for you, and I can find and analyze the lost technologies for you." The emperor's cold eyes exuded a sharp light: "This is not a request. , this is a requirement.”

After coming into contact with the mind of the Demon Toad, the Lord of Humanity already understood how much sacrifice these sons of order had to make in order to fight against evil.

What was once a legion of millions of lizardmen is now a fragment of its former glory. The Great Guardian is now supported by hundreds of Slann who spend all their life force and energy to fix themselves on obelisks and towers. On top of the pyramid, he continues the great protection with his own life.

However, this is not without cost. Slann is a creation made by the Ancient Saints. Without the guidance of the Ancient Saints, they will not reproduce. Although they are immortal, frequent wars and demonic invasions still make the Slann race gradually wither.

But they are still insisting, they don't know why they want to protect, why they have to give everything they have to fight the Chaos Demon, but they always insist, because this is the order of the Ancient Saint.

In some ways, they resemble the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne.

This does not prevent the Emperor from seizing the technology and knowledge left by the ancient saints, but after understanding all this, he is willing to give these poor and respectable creatures some space, because Chaos is the mortal enemy of both sides.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, not to mention that the Emperor's resurrection comes from the legacy of the Old Ones.

From a certain perspective, this is also a transaction.

"It's not enough. Our master's legacy cannot be replaced with shared knowledge as you imagined." Lord Demon Toad shook his head: "In ten thousand years of sleeping and thinking, I have understood a lot. If you are not willing to stay and Together we will fight against a powerful enemy, and we will not surrender what I hold, even if you destroy us."

"My heir will stay." The Emperor set his sights on Fulgrim: "He will lead the human army to fight alongside you."

"Not enough." Mazda Moody still shook his head: "That is the master's legacy."

"I can re-consecrate your polluted hatching pools." The Emperor made the second condition.

"Not enough." The Demon Toad Lord still shook his head, but his attitude had already relaxed: "If this is the case, we can only allow you to check the three pyramid chambers."

Fulgrim looked calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with doubts and confusion. He thought that these servants of the ancient saints were really stubborn.

The Emperor seemed to notice Fulgrim's change in mood, and a simple psychic message ordered him to calm down.

"The Son of the Ancient Saint is indeed a very powerful being, but he is not invincible. His staying can only give us a little more chance of winning in the war against the eternal enemy. This is not enough... As for humans, they are too young and too simple. Many of them are too young and too naive. He was very naive at the time and was extremely susceptible to the corruption of Chaos. I believe so far that the most important reason for the failure to complete the grand plan is precisely because these young races were not exterminated, resulting in Chaos having a large number of minions available." Gold. The Holy See was slowly placed on the altar inside the pyramid. Mazda Moody spoke very slowly: "You need to come up with more things to impress me, young ancient saint. This is my duty and my responsibility." I will use everything I have to complete my mission until the big plan is realized.”

"It's really sad." Fulgrim spoke, and he sarcastically said: "But you still don't understand what the real big plan is."

"Son of the Ancient Sage, you are also part of the big plan. The master has already seen through everything. The four sons of the Ancient Sage are existing in this world. You are like the faint light spots of order in the endless chaos, purple, red, silver and blue. Sex." Mazda-Moody continued: "This is not enough, this is not enough."

The emperor's eyes were fixed on the demon toad, and he was thinking about the gains and losses.

Due to the effects of the eternal Warp Storm, the Overlords of Mankind were essentially unable to teleport their armies, and the Emperor even suspected that nothing could reach this world through the Warp Storm without his own power to navigate it.

It's no wonder that the Old Ones chose this world as their playground, their testing ground, and their final refuge.

The last legacy of the Ancient Saint must not be obtained by Chaos!

After much thought, the Emperor decided to reveal his last trump card.

The Lord of Humanity stood in front of the Demon Toad, and spat out a few words on his noble face with endless light and miracles.

For the first time, the Demon Toad Lord showed a surprised expression. He raised his head, seemingly in disbelief.

But the emperor nodded calmly, the conditions had been stated, it was up to the other party to accept it.

If the other party didn't accept it, then he would have no choice but to do it himself at the risk of being discovered by Chaos.

The atmosphere was filled with anxiety. In the huge pyramid of the City of the Sun, above the dozens of clear pools and long stairs, among the various sacred runes and ancient imprints, the pictures on the ceiling Under the moss-covered scene, the Emperor, Fulgrim and the Demon Toad sitting on the golden throne fell into silence.

In an instant, hundreds of communications were sent back and forth within the Holy Council. Every sleeping Slann received Mazda-Moody's communications and gave their own response.

The consciousness gradually returned to the body, leaving the Demon Toad Lord with a painful choice. Reason told him that the master's inheritance could not be obtained by these young races, but reason also told him that this might be one of the few ways to prevent the end. There are many possibilities. The origin of the other party is unknown and the existence is mysterious. When Mazda Moody closes his eyes and lets his soul shuttle between the shadows of the chaotic world and the material world, he can sense that the person in front of him is full of The cold sun shining with the light of Symmetra.

The greatest and wisest minds in existence were hard at work calculating the pros and cons of the matter, and Mazda-Moody's magical powers even amused the Emperor, who had rarely seen such pure and pure magic. A powerful magical creature that is not affected by chaos.

After a long time, maybe a minute, an hour or even a whole day passed, Mazda Moody finally nodded: "This is an offer we cannot refuse, young Old Sage, but we must see you fulfill your promise."

Negotiation successful.

The new world, Lustria, the head of the cities, the first city, the place where the ancient saints first arrived, Itaza, the great pyramid.

The bright and pure light of order unlocked the complex code lock composed of technology and magic on the pyramid door. Under the guidance of Mazda Moody, the Emperor and Fulgrim successively walked up the long staircase to the ancient saint's creation. So magical, countless empty corridors and vertical passages leading to the very top of the great pyramid.

On the roadside, the golden ancient holy stone slabs depict portraits of lizard-man gods. They all look similar to demon toads, but they are obviously powerful in martial arts. The leader of the god is called Sun God Kotego. A god who is bathed in light and represents the sun or the power of the sun. He is also the main god of the lizard people's belief.

There is also the snake god Sotek. This new god was born during the thousand-year war between the lizards and the Skaven. It represents blood and revenge, and the will to destroy the Great Horned Rat.

Fulgrim's long white hair moved without any wind. He suddenly felt that the snake god on the stone slab was watching him. It was a deep sense of recognition and joy, but when he wanted to see Sotek's portrait clearly , but the other party seemed to have disappeared.

This feeling of being chosen...

The door to the secret chamber was opened, which was a vertical ascending passage. Mazda Moody repelled the temple guards who came to protect it. It turned around and motioned for the Emperor and Fulgrim to come to the pedestal.

On top of the pedestal sat a dead, rotting corpse.

Lord Kroc, the guardian of Itaza, the first Toad Priest of the Lizardmen, the most powerful and greatest Toad Priest, he and his first-generation colleagues assisted the Ancient Saints in transforming the world, and they also built the two poles. The portal (that is, the chaotic wilderness in the future), and is also the mentor who teaches elves to learn magic. It is said that its mission is to witness the last moment of the universe. Crocker left the most tragic sacrifice in the Great Disaster, but his indomitable soul still persisted in the world and became the first Relic Priest.

Crocker's face is obscured by a golden funeral mask. It can no longer speak and communicate, but its soul can interact with the material world, and its power can vibrate the air to create voices like distant echoes. The peak glory of the past has collapsed, but The remaining candles in the wind are enough to destroy its enemies. In critical moments, its soul will return to the real world under the immortal will of its master, helping the lizard people win another victory through its own power.

After the defense of Itaza ended with Kroc's great sacrifice, the lizardfolk worked hard to collect every small fragment of the remains, reverently joining the remains and wrapping them in resin-soaked oil paper.

From then on, the first lizardman holy priest was born, and many dead demon toads were also treated with this method. The Lizardmen discovered that these magic toads were so powerful that their souls remained attached to the world even after their bodies died. These ancient holy relics would once again formulate a great plan to replenish the world.

This mummy is sitting so quietly on the top of the great pyramid. It looks completely dead, dead in every sense of the word, but its soul still resides on its decaying body. The spirit is still watching the world.

It once watched how the Old Saints created a new race. It once watched the Old Saints build so many glorious cities in Lustria. It once watched as dozens of Chaos legions and hundreds of Chaos demons besieged them together. Itaza, it will also watch the destruction of this world. When the last moment comes, Crocker's unyielding will and immortal soul will use up his last vestige of power to protect the creation of the ancient saint.

The Emperor nodded slightly. He could feel a similar sacrifice in the mummy's body. These noble creatures sacrificed themselves at all costs just to protect, just like him.

The cold heart of the Lord of Mankind would not be moved by Crocker's sacrifice, but he still recognized Crocker's dedication, which made him start his own actions.

Golden radiance began to emerge from the Lord of Mankind, and the supreme power completely enveloped the secret chamber at the top of the pyramid. A straight golden light ejected from the emperor's heart and poured into the body of the holy priest who had been dead for thousands of years.

That is the Emperor's unique power,

Gradually, under Fulgrim's doubts and Mazda Moody's expectant gaze, light appeared in the two white jade eyes inlaid with yellow topaz on the head of the remains under the golden funeral mask.

Something happened inside this holy corpse.

Slowly, the arms of the holy skeleton were raised, and the mummy that was supposed to be dead opened its mouth and spit out an ancient language. This power came from outside the universe and contained the power of hope from the origin of the universe. The stars twinkled and the ancient language came out. The creative power of the Holy Spirit emerged from him.

"For...the big plan!"
