Warhammer 40 A New Hope

And Zhang Yi... Compared to what the three Primarchs did, it seems like he... did nothing...

"Ahem, let's talk about business." Zhang Yi changed the subject.

With four primarchs (actually only three are in charge of the work), the empire that was originally ailing is gradually recovering. Although it is still far from the empire in the [Golden Age], there have indeed been improvements in all aspects.

However, the enemies of the Empire would not sit idly by and watch the Empire recover.

Because of the ancient elves' goddess of life, the attacks from Nurgle have never stopped, and the plague has spread along with their attacks.

The same is true for Khorne and his followers. They seem to be selecting strong men and shouting words like "Fateful Battle" and "Dark Green Warriors" from time to time.

Slaanesh's recent behavior is a bit... disturbing. Slaanesh cults have appeared on several planets on the edge of the Empire's territory. However, unlike ordinary Slaanesh believers, there are many relatively normal women in these Slaanesh sects, and these women often have certain animal characteristics - such as cat ears, fox tails, goat hooves and so on.

In addition, during the crackdown on these Slaanesh cults, it was discovered that each of these sects often had a portrait of a person, collectively referred to as the "Son of Pleasure", who they worshipped and even used as an object of self-generation.

"Why are you looking at me? I've been hanging around the palace recently. I don't know anything."

As for the most troublesome and most vigilant Tzeentch, they have been silent recently...

Although the other three gods could more or less feel the influence of the "blue soft-bodied creature" in their actions, they themselves had not made any movement recently.

"Should I go to another world and hide for a while..." Zhang Yi was a little nervous. "The last time they did this, I got tricked..."

The greenskins are still the same greenskins. The chaotic galaxy has not had much impact on them - they are WAAAAGHing even more happily.

There is still good news - under the leadership of Evelyne, the Eldar who followed her began to build Eldar cities on the planet where the God of Death was born, and also started to trade with nearby human cities.

Evelyne's Death Army is also calling on other Eldar compatriots who have not joined them to stop being enemies of the Human Empire. This has also led to a significant decrease in the frequency of human ships being attacked by Eldar pirates recently.

The birth of the Eldar Death God opened up a pure land for the Eldar, allowing them to no longer worry about the threat from Slaanesh - at least for the time being.

"The situation in the Empire is now stable, and trade with the Eldar is gradually expanding..." Guilliman said. "From now on, at least the Eldar led by Evelyne really want to coexist peacefully with the Human Empire."

"We can still withstand Chaos' attacks at this stage, so it's not a big problem. The various planets are also restoring their relations with the human empire, and the same is true for various taxes..."

"However, we are also facing another problem at this stage - there are too few people who can serve as leaders."

Today, the XCOM world has been able to feed back to the 40K universe intermittently, the development of Ringworld is also continuing, and the biggest gain - research on the curvature engine has also begun, and it is estimated that there will be a prototype soon.

As the Empire gradually recovered, the problem that Guilliman mentioned also emerged: they had few reliable leaders and managers.

The Supreme Lords and Planetary Governors have been replaced by Guilliman. Although those people are not as shrewd managers as him, they are at least dedicated to the Empire.

If the empire wants to rise again, those planets, legions, and warbands that were previously unmanageable for various reasons naturally need to be regained control, and then someone must be the general leader to coordinate and plan these matters.

Guilliman did find some lords to help him deal with it, but there were too few loyal and talented administrators...

Zhang Yi was very clear about how busy Guilliman was - one day he opened more than ten portals for Guilliman to go to different planets to hold meetings and discuss suppressing rebellions.

"Guilliman won't die from overwork, right?" Zhang Yi asked Vulkan secretly.

"Although our Primarch's physique is different from that of ordinary people, but now that you mention it... I am a little worried..." Vulkan replied in a low voice.

"Ahem, I can hear you." Guilliman cleared his throat and said, "Instead of worrying about me, you should think about what to do."

"As for this problem... the best way is to create a coordinating AI or something like that." Zhang Yi said. "But it is basically impossible in this world, at least not now."

"Then, I'll try to get a few more Primarchs to work overtime?"

195. Method of Resurrection

"Ko... Ko what is it (flipping through phone), Corax (Primarch of the Raven Guard) should still be blocking Lorgar in the Warp, hammering him every time he blocks him..."

"Then... (continues to flip through the phone) Rogal Dorn, the Custodians have turned over the Centurion of the Imperial Fists again and again, so he should not be in Terra..."

"Why do we need to send the imperial guards to overthrow the Centurion?" Chagatai Khan interrupted Zhang Yi and asked.

"This is related to another matter. I'll tell you when I have time." Zhang Yi replied. "The next is Leman Russ. He led a team to the warp to find something that could heal the old... Emperor..."

Having said that, Zhang Yi looked at the withered bones sitting on the golden throne not far away.

"Didn't you try to stop me?"

"...He ran too fast and I didn't have time to call him..."

"Ahem, my father was also seriously injured at that time, so it is understandable that he made some mistakes." Guilliman said. "What about the whereabouts of the others?"

"Lion El-Jonson is sleeping in the deepest part of the Stone Monastery. His current state should be similar to your (Guilliman) previous state, but I don't know how to wake him up."

"Finally, the souls of Ferrus and Sanguinius should be in the hands of the Emperor, but they cannot be resurrected for the time being due to different reasons." Zhang Yi continued. "The Emperor intended to let Ferrus Malus lead his [Bound Legion], so he did not let him be resurrected, and Sanguinius..."

"On the one hand, it's because Sanguinius is too perfect. Those four want to get him. If he lives, it will bring huge pressure to the entire human empire. On the other hand, Sanguinius's soul was severely broken due to the previous battle with Horus..."

Once again, Zhang Yi looked at the Emperor and said, "No matter how badly it's broken, after so many years, you still haven't put it back together? Are you slacking off?"

Pah! (Psychic slap)

"Be polite to your father."

"...your uncle..." He was knocked to the ground by a slap, and he raised his left arm tremblingly and raised his middle finger.

Slap! (Another slap)

The other three Primarchs just watched quietly as Zhang Yi was beaten up by their father - they had become accustomed to their new brother and their father's daily life.

"If Leman Russ were here, he would probably feel envious," said Vulkan.

"It is possible," Chagatai replied.

"Ahem, father, please let him go for now. We still have things to discuss." Guilliman acted as a peacemaker again and said to the Emperor.

The emperor then let Zhang Yi go, and Zhang Yi, with a dusty face, also got up from the ground.

"I do have the souls of Ferrus and Sanguinius, but I cannot quickly resurrect them at this stage." The Emperor said. "I know Lion's situation. We can ask the Lizardmen or the Eldar to find a solution to his physical problems..."

"I can only sense the approximate location of Corax and Leman Russ. After all, they are both in the demon's territory."

"Can you use your ability to find Corax and Leman Russ directly?" Guilliman asked Zhang Yi.

"Of course, but they are all in the subspace. Are you sure you want me to open the door in the real world to find them?"

“...This is indeed a problem..." Guilliman held his forehead with his hand.

"If we consider the possibility of rebellion against the Primarch, there are actually three other candidates." Zhang Yi suddenly said. "From what I have heard, the 'Wonderful Pony' will ambush Guilliman in the future and fight him on the moon..."

"The Alpha Legion is the same. Some of them rebelled only because they were disappointed with the Empire at that time. They did not go along with the demons. They have been trying to protect humans in their own way... At least I know that there is such a saying..."

"Then there's Curze. His rebellion at that time was just despair for the future. If we can find him, it would be fine... Should I not talk about this topic?"

Zhang Yi said as he looked at the three Primarchs who suddenly looked gloomy and the hall which had quieted down.

"...No, you are right." The Emperor suddenly said, "Many of the Primarchs' rebellions are related to me..."

"Tell me more about Magnus."

"Well... Magnus's rebellion was caused by guilt and Horus's false decree at the time..."

"His soul was also shattered in the previous battle, but most of it was recovered by his subordinate Ahriman, and he has now been promoted to a Tzeentch [Demon Prince]..."

"Besides Tzeentch's influence, Magnus feels more guilt and hatred towards the Emperor - for what the Emperor said and did, and what he has done..."

"He is one of the few rebellious primarchs who may return, but of course, it is only possible..." Zhang Yi said. "You can't expect the Emperor to apologize and Xiao Ma will turn to the light..."

"But it's possible, right?" the Emperor said.

"Yes, but you still have to deal with the problem of his soul - it should be in Tzeentch's hands now."

"...I need all the information about my battle with Magnus in the original timeline." Guilliman said, calling over the servant who was responsible for transcribing. "The more detailed the better."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

This meeting lasted for a long time. After all, this was an important moment for the Human Empire.

The information about Magnus's battle with Guilliman in the original timeline was recorded on a thick stack of papers - Zhang Yi was so dry-mouthed after hearing it.

After reading it, Guilliman said that he had a general idea, but whether it could be realized was still to be discussed.

"So, can I have a meal first?" Zhang Yi said. "I'm hungry..."

"I just happen to want to eat something. How about that restaurant we went to last time?" Vulcan said.

"Count me in and give me a roasted lamb or something," Chagatai echoed.

"You guys... Oh, forget it." Guilliman said helplessly. "Please ask that mortal chef to make me some light snacks."

"What are you eating?" Zhang Yi looked at the surrounding imperial guards. "One pig per person?"

"... (Imperial Guards: We can't get along with pigs, right?)

"(Opens the portal) Liu Maoxing~ is alive~"

At this moment, in the world of "Cooking Master Boy", Liu Maoxing, who was cooking, suddenly felt his hands tremble.

. . . . . .

On the conference table, several plates of delicious food emitting a faint golden glow were placed.

In front of Zhang Yi was a normal dish and a soup; in front of Chagatai Khan was a whole fragrant roasted lamb and several jugs of wine (Guilliman couldn't help it); in front of Vulkan was several plates of oversized dishes; in front of Guilliman was several baskets of exquisite snacks.

In front of the tall golden throne, there were several plates of exquisite dishes.

"Can you really eat this? It's like offering sacrifice to your ancestors..."

Snapped!

There were not many orders this time, so Liu Maoxing did not have to work too hard. After all the dishes were served, the Primarchs began to eat and chat.

"No matter how many times I eat this mortal's food, it's still so delicious." Chagatai drank and picked up a leg of lamb to eat. "How about inviting him to our place? I want my descendants to try it too."

"Don't even think about it. There's a high chance that he'll be targeted by Slaanesh if he comes here, and he might even be promoted to a demon directly. It's better to let him live well in his own world." Zhang Yi spoke directly, telling him not to have this idea anymore.

"I heard he's leaving? How about I let my offspring protect him?" Vulkan said at this time. "Or, I can make him a set of knives or something (power weapon version)?"

"Your offspring is not that idle, right? And don't you know some of his original story? There is no need for that." Zhang Yi refused again. "As for the power tool you mentioned... Is it really necessary to use power weapons to cook? You cut the cutting board and the table into pieces..."

"The dishes in their world that you mentioned that can make people immortal and bring back to life, can they be used to resurrect Sanguinius?" Guilliman also asked a question at this time. Compared with Chagatai and Vulkan's questions, his question seemed very normal.

"It's unlikely. Apart from the size of the two worlds, Sanguinius' body has turned to ash by now, right?" Zhang Yi said. "To eat those dishes, you need a mouth, right?"

There is no doubt that even with many problems, resurrecting Archangel Sanguinius is still the first choice now. Regarding the issue of the Four Gods' attention at this stage, there is still Zhang Yi, the [Chosen of the Five Gods], to attract the firepower, and the resurrection of the angel should receive less attention.

As for the other Primarch Magnus, even if he really succeeded, Guilliman, with the cooperation of many members, captured and brought back this brother who had fallen into Chaos, and he was indeed persuaded to come back by the Emperor as Zhang Yi said, but don't forget that his soul is still in the hands of Tzeentch. If this problem is not solved, Magnus will not be able to truly return to the Empire.

Although, the three Primarchs also learned that in the Blood Angels, there was a being with some of the power of Sanguinius - Sanguinius, and he was very likely one of the carriers needed for the Archangel's resurrection.

However, Guilliman and others also knew that their brother Sanguinius would be unlikely to accept a resurrection at the cost of sacrificing a loyal son of his own chapter - there is a reason why everyone loves the Archangel.

The Emperor was also not idle. Although the soul of Sanguinius in his hand was not completely assembled, it could already speak to him from time to time. He just needed more time.

Then, with the help of the Emperor and three Primarchs, Zhang Yi sorted out the stages of resurrecting Sanguinius at this stage:

1. Find a way to integrate the soul of Sanguinius now

2. Find or create a suitable, temporary body for him to recover his activities.

3. Find a way to fully revive and restore Sanguinius

The third part is actually not difficult. Even without relying on external forces, Sanguinius can slowly recover his strength and slowly restore his body to the level of his original body.

However, they are now stuck at the first step. If the Emperor were to work his way through it slowly, it would take who knows how long it would take.

"You regret not putting his soul together sooner, don't you?" (Zhang Yi)

"Yes, a little bit..." the emperor responded casually, but soon found something wrong.

"You really were slacking off before..."

Snapped!

"I'll say it again!"

The emperor slapped Zhang Yi so hard that he couldn't fall to the ground, and at the same time he yelled at Zhang Yi loudly.

"Your father, I didn't touch the fish!!!"

The nearest palace is also very peaceful~

196. Traitor and Best Friend

"So, why do you have to offend your father?" Guilliman said, looking at Zhang Yi, who was beaten black and blue by the Emperor. "Isn't this your first time?"

"As a person who grew up in the 3K era, it's hard for me to control my mouth..." said Zhang Yi.

"...Do you have any idea? A way to speed up the resurrection of Sanguinness." Guilliman asked.
