While Russell was traveling through the Anchor System on the Kettle of Greed, the Far Eastern Starfield was still as busy as ever.

In the Far Eastern Star Territory, in the Esbanese Star District, a pale gas giant planet is quietly running in a desolate and uninhabited galaxy. The huge spots are like the eyes of the devil. Therefore, this gas giant planet is also known to astronomers. It's called White Ghost.

That huge spot is called the Ghost Eye.

Above the Ghost Eye, in the synchronous orbit of the white ghost giant planet, silently hovered an inconspicuous large-scale tower-like facility. The overall shape of the facility was somewhat like the extended antenna of human home televisions in ancient Terra.

This huge antenna just stood still above the Ghost Eye, like a high-erected ear listening attentively to something.

This is the intelligence department affiliated with the Psychic Department of the Order of Truth - the 'Subspace Listening Station'.

The predecessor of this department was the Astropathology Hall of Esbanese, and many of the monitors were directly recruited former astropaths. Because of the instability of psykers, the expedition fleet to Terra did not bring too many psykers except the necessary navigators and astropaths, and they were not plundered like the foundry workers and ore experts.

Therefore, psykers can be said to be the most indispensable type of talent in the Order of Truth today. The psionic department also has the largest number of people among the four major departments. In addition to assisting Koroniai in deciphering the organic canon, there are also a large number of Extra manpower can be stationed in warp listening stations to monitor the warp and listen for astrological communications from across the Imperium.

For the listeners in the 'Ghost Eye' listening station, today is destined to be an extraordinary day, because just now... they heard a special star language.

"What's wrong with you? Your body is so stiff..."

An monitor was holding freshly brewed hot cocoa and looking warily at his colleague who suddenly froze. He had gray hair on his temples and was a senior astropath who had served in the Astrology Hall for many years. He knew clearly Know how dangerous it is to monitor the subspace. Once the astropath's wandering consciousness accidentally comes into contact with some evil existence lurking in the sea of ​​souls and is contaminated by it... it would not be surprising if this astropath is immediately deformed into a monster.

Fortunately, this fellow monitor was simply shocked by the content and background of the monitored information, and was not exposed to some untouchable existence.

"Can you get me the pen and paper over there? This information cannot be dictated, I have to write it by hand." The stiff monitor begged.

"Go and rest after you finish writing. You're a little tired." The old monitor simply gave a few instructions and said nothing more after getting him a pen and paper.

The other party took the paper and pen and immediately started writing at the desk. Soon, the handwritten parchment roll was sent up through a top-level express channel. Less than half an hour later, the white ghost giant planet swayed in its orbit. The space ripples caused by the jump engine.

A 'Cetus' class Titan ship jumped out from the bend of time and space. It was a large warship that only department heads were qualified to mobilize. Because the origin of this star language was so great that it alarmed the spiritual being. Plumelia, the head of the Energy Department, had to put down everything she was doing and come to the listening station to observe in person.

The encryption of this astrological language is very ancient. Although it has been translated many times, it still maintains the highest level of encryption. The ancient encryption method that has not changed for a long time points directly to Terra.

"Astral language from Terra..." Plumelia, who hurriedly boarded the listening station, took the carefully rolled parchment from the slightly stiff hands of the listening officer and began to read the contents.

The professional monitor's handwriting is very neat and standard, and is as easy to read as printed text. However, the strokes at the end of each word are a bit hasty, which is enough to show the monitor's excitement when writing these contents:

[Due to the lack of conclusive evidence, in the name of the Archbishop of the Sun Sector, Terra decided to reject the proposal of the Church of the Esbanese Sector to canonize ‘Alexey Reipt’ as a living saint. 】

"..." Plumelia fell silent.

"Alexei, isn't he the living saint? The emperor's prophet?" Plumelia was a little confused: "I remember she has been called the emperor's prophetess for many years. All the people in the entire Far Eastern Frontier Everyone agrees that she is a well-deserved living saint...but what about this reply from Terra?"

The young monitor lowered his head slightly and did not dare to reply.

Plumelia thought for a while and asked: "When was Alexey Reipt first called the 'prophet' and the 'living saint'?"

The monitor responded in a low voice: "...According to the Leipte family genealogy records, in the 776th year of the 39th millennium, the underage Alexei Leipte first showed his emperor's appearance on the Nifl Prime. Miraculously, he accurately predicted the time and location of an orc invasion, which prevented the destruction of a mineral planet; later, he repeatedly provided dangerous warnings and important fighter opportunities for Esbanese's battles against aliens and chaos, and he became famous. He was eventually regarded as a 'living saint' by the state religion."

"How old is it now?"

"Year 019 of the 40th Millennium, Director." The monitor answered truthfully

"...In other words, Terra just responded to an application sent about 300 years ago." Plumelia couldn't laugh or cry.

As a young woman, she was born in Falla, which was managed by the Order of Truth. She had never accepted the anthropomorphic rule of imperial bureaucrats, although she would always hear the monks complain about how abstract the human empire was and how difficult it was to deal with. But sure enough, only by personal contact can you truly understand how abstract a political system the human empire...is.

Plumelia sorted out her chaotic thoughts and calmly said:

"The Terra Headquarters rejected the application of the Esbanese Branch Church to confer Alexei as the Emperor's Living Saint. In other words, the Terra expedition initiated by her is actually not legal..."

"Furthermore, Terra denies the narrative that the prophetess carries the emperor's will. This means that her words and deeds do not represent the emperor's will. Then the contract drafted and signed by Alexei to cede the Far Eastern Star Territory is gone. The legal effect...at least Terra does not recognize it."

This is troublesome...

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Plumeria quickly classified this message from Terra as top secret and used magic to cleanse the memories of all insiders, including the psykers who received this astrological message.

Because of Russell's absence, she did not inform other department heads at the same level about this matter. Instead, she went directly to the quiet black domain in person, found Gray Feng, who was supervising the creation of the master, docked next to the giant shipyard, and sent this delicate letter to him. Send the reply to her for review.

After understanding the situation, Gray Wind gave a very simple and rude response: "Terra doesn't agree, then kill Terra with neutrons."
