Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Yes, at this stage, everyone in the mortal world can only wait and watch. They can only wait until the Chaos Party really takes action and then find a way to deal with it.

However, there are things that can be done now.

Because Zhang Yi saved the Bear God, the diplomats from Kislev reached a preliminary cooperation with the Lizardmen. A large amount of precious metals (gold) and "mercenaries" will be shipped to Kislev, allowing them to survive the difficulties caused by the disappearance of the Bear God more safely, and provide them with certain protection during the period when the Bear God is weak.

At the same time, they will also consider allowing the Lizardmen to build semi-permanent transmission nodes within Kislev.

While Kislev would broker exchanges between the Lizardmen and the Human Empire (Medieval), it would also send some people and the Lizardmen who came with the ships to find the Lizardmen artifacts buried in the Old World and transport them back to Lustria.

On the Zhendan side, after Zhang Yi handed the scroll given to him by Ersun containing the whereabouts of Long Zi Shen Zhu to Miaoying, Zhang Yi also asked about the abnormal behavior of Hun Dun.

In response to this, Miaoying said that there are indeed chaotic forces with strange behavior outside Changheng, but overall it is still normal.

Moreover, they had no good way to find out what went wrong with Chaos and what they wanted to do. Besides, they needed to gather people to find the missing Long Zi Shen Zhu.

After reaching a few simple agreements with Kislev and the Lizardmen, Zhang Yi returned to Lustria.

At this time, a large space transport barge that had landed from space was docked on the city square, and the giant lizards and lizardmen were loading the previously agreed-upon rewards onto the transport ship.

Along with these ancient saint technologies and creations, there was also a new lizardman unit of about 500 people and a fourth-generation magic toad priest on board.

The return of the Bear God not only stabilized Kislev, adding variables to Chaos's invasion many years later, but also strengthened the communication between the Lizardmen and the Old Road to a certain extent.

The reuse of several brooding ponds, combined with the possible establishment of teleportation nodes in Kislev, would allow the Lizardmen to reach out to Old Worlds far across the planet and aid humanity in resisting a possible Chaos invasion.

Master Mazdamuddi was very satisfied with the result. He kept his promise and gave the Human Empire (40K) more of their ancient artifacts, technologies, and personnel assistance.

These Lizardman troops are an improved breed hatched in purified incubation pools. They have stronger adaptability and the ability to fight in various areas, including the universe. The magic toad priest who followed them voluntarily followed Zhang Yi and others and planned to have further exchanges with the rulers of the Human Empire (40K) (if possible).

The fragment in Zhang Yi's body (Son of the Star) was also very satisfied with this and was willing to accept the assistance of a small force given by Master Ma.

Of course, how to make most people today accept these non-human races, and how to make the old man on the Golden Throne agree to communicate with the magic toad priest, that is Zhang Yi's headache.

Mazdamuddi gave so many gifts that it took two trips by transport barge to transport them all.

When the transport barge landed for the third time, Zhang Yi, the Lizardman troops, Locke and others boarded the transport ship and left the planet.

On the one hand, the exploration and communication of this world has come to a temporary end. They now need to bring the gains of this trip back to Terra, report to the Emperor, and prepare for the exploration of the next world. On the other hand, they can also avoid possible conspiracies and gazes from Chaos. After all, at this stage, the isolation and protection of this world by the Old Saints are still effective, and the evil gods in the medieval world are still unable to go to the outside world.

The large space transport barge once again broke through the atmosphere, came into the universe, and safely left the gravitational range of the planet and drove into the larger ship.

The expected attack from the evil god still did not come. While the people on the ship breathed a sigh of relief, they also became more confused and nervous.

But they can only wonder, no matter which universe they are in, they don't have the ability and possibility to actively cause trouble for the evil gods.

Soon after, a huge portal appeared and the entire cruiser sailed into it and disappeared into this universe.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"One drop of divine blood can lift the curse."

Egrim van Horstman (the old man who narrates) takes a stone back into his arms.

If Zhang Yi were here, he would be able to recognize that the stone was the one that had been inserted into his hand before, with his blood on it.

"No matter whose it is..."

"The person from outer space has temporarily left, and the chaos has fallen into silence..."

"But this doesn't mean they give up..."

The white crow landed on his shoulder and looked at the [Book of Destiny] in his hand.

"A bigger conspiracy is brewing..."

"They are waiting for his next arrival..."

"A wider world (noise)..."

17. Gains and Discussion

Terra Palace - In front of the Golden Throne

"The thought of hundreds of scaly aliens hovering over Terra gives me goose bumps," the Emperor said from his Golden Throne. "Especially with a giant psionic toad!"

"...You were hostile and genocidal towards all alien races because their appearance did not conform to your aesthetic standards, right?"

"..."

The journey back was quite smooth. The magic toad priest with powerful psychic abilities made it easier for Zhang Yi and others to travel through the subspace.

As for the Lizardmen on the cruiser, everyone on the ship showed great restraint and patience.

Although there are still some conflicts, overall, the problem is not serious.

Father Kadoc, the somewhat "heretical" technical priest, had a series of technical exchanges with the accompanying magic toad priest, Kua Kuat, when the ship returned to the 40K universe and sailed towards Terra.

It has to be said that even in the medieval world, when the various technologies left by the ancient saints were very limited and lost in large quantities, many of the Lizardmen's current incomplete technologies and equipment/equipment are higher than the current level of imperial technology in some aspects.

This also shows from the side how powerful the Old Saints were at that time, and how powerful the [Star Gods] who were able to beat the Old Saints to near extinction and the Necrons in their heyday were.

After arriving at the Terra Airport, for safety reasons, Zhang Yi did not release the Lizardmen, but went to the Terra Palace alone with the Imperial Guards to report to the Emperor.

"But then again, you're calmer than I thought." Zhang Yi looked at the Emperor who seemed to have fallen silent because he had 'spoken the truth', and said again. "I've been thinking about how to send the demon toad priests away while you were yelling 'some aliens should die'..."

"I hate all aliens. The human empire does not need and has no energy to establish friendly relations with aliens with all kinds of ugly defects at this stage." The Emperor's voice came from the speaker on his dry skull. "But this does not mean that I am a completely unreasonable lunatic."

"Although it's almost the same..."

Snapped!

Zhang Yi, who was muttering quietly, was hit with a slap in the face by the Emperor's psychic energy full of love.

"Be careful when you talk to your father."

"I'm not your tool Primarch! I'm not even a human in this universe! You can't be considered my father!"

"But I can beat you until you call me daddy!"

Zhang Yi chose to shut up from the bottom of his heart and raised his middle finger to the emperor in his heart.

"The issue of dealing with the Lizardmen you mentioned will be postponed for now." The Emperor's voice echoed in his magnificent palace. "I temporarily acknowledge the promise made by the fragment in your body to them. I will not deal with them at this stage, but I will not publicly acknowledge their relationship with the human empire either."

"I certainly won't communicate directly with the so-called Demonic Toad Priest you mentioned."

"For a formal exchange, either you wait for their [Ancient Saint] who may still be alive to come, or you prove that you have the ability to change and save the human empire."

"I will then consider giving you and giving them this opportunity."

"At this stage, everything they have done with you and your crew members is only personal."

Zhang Yi was relieved about this result. At least it was not the worst situation.

"Now, let's see what you brought back from your first operation."

Several huge stone tablets and animal skin scrolls were brought into the palace, including this crystal placed on a golden pedestal.

"..."

Then, both parties in the palace fell into a strange silence.

“Explain these to me!”

"I know everything about you." Zhang Yi said. "Didn't the fragment share your memory with you?"

"．．．．．．．" The Emperor's psychic slap was eager to try.

"Ahem, anyway, the general situation is..."

Zhang Yi narrated their journey in the shortest and most complete terms possible.

"I think the most valuable things I brought back this time are this [Resurrection Crystal] and..."

"The method and theory of building the Great Vortex."

"The Resurrection Crystal is one of the black technologies left by the ancient saints. Once it is activated, it can slowly heal the surrounding creatures and speed up the healing of their wounds." Zhang Yi explained. "After further activation, it can further speed up the healing of wounds of all creatures with recorded DNA within a certain range, and can even regenerate broken limbs and bring some recently dead creatures back to life."

"Of course, the second mode requires recording various specific data of the organism, otherwise it may cause you to grow an extra hand or your genes to collapse or something like that."

"And the construction theory and method of the Great Vortex is a super-large device used to weaken the subspace, stabilize reality, and prevent creatures in the subspace from invading reality."

"In the medieval world, it was represented by a huge vortex that could be directly observed from space. The Great Vortex could directly extract and separate the energy of the subspace and stabilize the real world to a certain extent."

"At the same time, the subspace energy will be separated into several safer magical forces."

"Of course, safety knowledge is relative. There are many cases where so-called mages accidentally explode when casting spells."

"According to my initial understanding, if you can strengthen and build this device, perhaps you won't have to sit on this throne."

Even in the medieval world, there were two subspace rifts formed by the collapse of the Old Saints' portal. Because of the existence of the Great Vortex, it was not necessarily that demons ran from the two poles to other places every day (although a big one would still appear every hundred years or so).

In other words, even in the presence of multiple permanent and semi-permanent subspace rifts, the [Maelstrom] can still effectively weaken the influence of controlling them.

Although this may also be related to the strength of the subspace...

"...Very good." The Emperor was satisfied with what Zhang Yi had gained from this trip. "But, with just the things you said, it is not possible to completely control the energy of the subspace."

"Moreover, I will not let any place on Terra become what you call the "Chaos Wasteland"."

Zhang Yi shrugged at the emperor's words.

"I will have people research these things and technologies," the Emperor said. "Now, let's talk about something else."

"Are you bored again?"

"Try sitting on this thing for tens of thousands of years without speaking." The Emperor said. "You said that you might be targeted by the 'blue soft monster' (Tzeentch) of that world?"

"Based on what I have encountered and what I know about him (Tzeentch), either he is an idiot or he has a bigger plan, otherwise he would not arrange it this way."

"But you and I both know that he (Tzeentch) is not an idiot, although sometimes he (Tzeentch) goes too far while playing."

"indeed."

"I was prepared to be attacked by demons and raiders when I was exhausted, but no one came."

"This shows that his (Tzeentch's) plan is so big that he can temporarily let you go." The Emperor can be said to be the one who knows the four evil gods best in this world, second only to themselves. "Next time you go to that world, you must have at least one company of Space Marines with you, instead of just taking a few mortals with you like this time."

"You're not always so lucky."

"I know. You're not my father. Why are you nagging me so much..."

"Next question." The Emperor ignored Zhang Yi's complaints and said, "Gods also exist in the Warhammer world you mentioned, right?"

"Yes, I also saved a god who was very kind to humans." Zhang Yi said. "I remember that if I hadn't been there, he would have hoped that Bilak would let Kislev go when he died."

"That's not what I'm concerned about." The Emperor said. "In that world, there are elves that are very similar to the Eldar, right?"

"Yes, and it is divided into three major factions."

"Do their gods still exist?"

"Isha, Asuryan, Cain, the main gods of the elves that I remember and those that I don't remember should all still exist." Zhang Yi said. "And then, the elves are just like the spirits, most of them are arrogant and have problems."

"But they still have lizardmen there who can suppress them and teach them not to be too arrogant."

"The same name as those dead gods of the Eldar?"

"Um... most?"

Zhang Yi then realized that it seemed that the gods of the elves in the medieval world and those Eldar gods in the 40K universe who were either dead, captured, or in large numbers were the same name.

"I can't wait to see those elf gods blow up again."

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you afraid of exploding another evil god?" Zhang Yi said. "Although they do have this tendency (referring to wanting to close the vortex and confront the demons head-on)..."

"What do you know about those elves and their gods? Compared to the Eldar and their gods."

"Hmm... Let me think..." Zhang Yi pondered. "Lilith was pessimistic about the situation in the Middle Ages, deceiving the Knight Kingdom and letting humans guard the gate of her sanctuary; Asuryan saw too much and became even more sad about the situation, so he simply went into seclusion; and the mysterious inheritance ceremony led to the division of the elves..."

"I think I'll make you laugh for a long time..." said Zhang Yi.

"Hohohoho~ I'm already laughing."

The Emperor's laughter echoed throughout the palace. In some ways, the Elves and their gods of the Medieval World were no different from their distant relatives, the Eldar.

"So, do you think there is any connection between the two of them?" The emperor stopped laughing and asked Zhang Yi.

"Are they all creations of the ancient saints?" Zhang Yi asked uncertainly.

"You said that because the Old Saints isolated the medieval world, the outside world was completely unaware of the existence of such a place." The Emperor said. "Even the Warp and the gods within it were not aware of it. It was divided."

"Is it possible that the gods of the Eldar are also like this?"

18. Small talk
