Chapter 66 Zhang Guizi
929.M30.
At the Mandel Point closest to the planet Agoru in the Extreme Starfield, intense subspace energy surged wildly, followed by a sudden tearing open of a dark purple subspace rift.
With a flash of light, a warship painted with the colors of the World Eater Legion emerged from the churning warp and arrived in the cold, real universe.
Upon receiving the identification signal from the Thousand Sons Legion, the warship turned its bow and headed toward a grayish-brown planet in a distant star system.
Li Wei stood before the massive tempered glass porthole on the bridge, gazing at the desolate, lifeless planet in the pitch-black universe.
At this moment, the Thousand Sons Legion's crimson fleet, which blots out the sky, completely surrounds the entire planet, forming a standard blockade formation.
He sighed with emotion, remembering that this was the beginning of the story of the Thousand Sons in his past life, and also the first time Magnus had come into contact with Tzeentch's deadly bait on this planet.
This is also why he rushed back to the Thousand Sons Legion, fearing that the treacherous Qi would start another incident.
However, Li Wei wondered if Tzeentch had recovered his strength and courage after being caught and beaten up by the Orcs' two gods in the Carmenca system, and if he would dare to harass the Thousand Sons again.
What frustrated him even more was that his arrangements for the World Eater Legion had only just begun, and many of his plans were only just getting on track.
Upon receiving the urgent message from the Thousand Sons Legion, Li Wei had no choice but to put everything aside and requisition a cruiser from the World Devourer Legion to rush back at full speed.
"I don't know if Kayan can withstand the pressure. The time is too short. I originally planned to personally oversee the situation for half a year to stabilize it. However, with the assistance of seven members of the Thousand Sons Think Tank, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Li Wei silently gazed at the planet Agoru, which was surrounded by the Crimson Fleet. He felt that Kayan was still too inexperienced and might not be able to stand on his own, but there was nothing he could do, as he had too few people around him.
With that in mind, Li Wei switched to the Stormhawk of the Devourer Legion and, like an arrow released from a bow, broke through the thick atmosphere of the planet Agoru and landed at the front-line landing site of the Thousand Sons Legion.
Clang!
The Stormhawk's hydraulic hatch slowly descended, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound.
Li Wei, carrying simple luggage, half-closed his eyes and braved the scorching wind and sand as he walked down.
He had barely stepped onto the rough, hard rocky ground, and his eyes had barely adjusted to the glaring sunlight, when he heard the laughter of Magnus, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"My chief, it's been years, and you've improved a lot."
After hearing Magnus's voice, Li Wei saw the scene before him.
Magnus, dressed in a long robe with gold trim, led ten company commanders of the Thousand Sons Legion, who were already lined up to welcome his return.
"Primarch, all is well." Li Wei looked at Magnus, whose appearance hadn't changed in years, and felt a long-lost sense of familiarity. He took the initiative to bow and greet him.
However, during the ceremony, he noticed a rune book bound by chains beside Magnus, which swayed gently with Magnus's every move.
The Book of Magnus? Livy was taken aback.
He suddenly remembered that in his past life, the Book of Magnus was a supreme spiritual text compiled by Magnus with all his heart and wisdom.
Li Wei had spent so many years with Magnus before, but he had never seen Magnus compile this forbidden book. How could it have appeared after only a few years?
Li Wei's thoughts suddenly stopped, and he felt that everything in front of him was very familiar, so familiar that it was frightening!
The tragic fate of Senko began on this planet beneath her feet, and the Book of Magnus appears once again, like a script of destiny.
This made Li Wei feel that his efforts might not have been effective, but only delayed the tragedy from unfolding.
The cheerful Magnus couldn't bear missing Livy any longer, so he stepped forward and looked Livy up and down, who was covered in dust. Seeing that he hadn't changed much, he noticed that Livy's eyes were a little unfocused, and he suspected that Livy's long journey through the warp had made him mentally exhausted.
Then he laughed loudly and said:
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back."
While still lost in thought, Li Wei felt a warmth in his heart and a sense of relief upon hearing Magnus's caring words.
He thought he was overthinking things. He had already changed a lot, and Qianzi's fate might not repeat itself as it did in his previous life.
......
The Thousand Sons Legion's temporary command post on the planet Agoru.
The cold metal walls were covered with tactical projections, and a holographic star map in the center of the council table was slowly rotating, marking all the anomalous psionic locations on the planet Argoru.
At this moment, the debate was in full swing, with the leaders of various societies engaging in heated arguments over how to explore and eliminate unknown subspace creatures.
With Levi and Magnus agreeing on a pre-arranged narrative, Tzeentch, the God of Change, was defined as a special and powerful warp being.
Of course, this is not because Livy and Magnus are arrogant and think that the current Thousand Sons can destroy the Lord of Change, but because they are preparing to destroy the demons on the planet they are on.
After months of exploration, Magnus discovered that the planet beneath his feet did indeed harbor demons with considerable psychic power, and was very likely an avatar of Tzeentch.
After discussing with Magnus, Levi tried to figure out if they could use the suppression of the Chaos God by the real universe to destroy this Tzeentch incarnation and weaken Tzeentch's original nature.
Of course, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Tzeentch's main body descended upon this clone. After Levi and Magnus reached a consensus, they set the ultimate objective of confronting a warp deity, and the entire army was on high alert, just in case.
Moreover, it wasn't that Livy and Magnus insisted on becoming riddle tellers like the Emperor, refusing to explain their true objective to the Thousand Sons.
Rather, it was the imperial truth propagated by the iron fist of the empire and the emperor.
Few Astartes warriors believed in the existence of gods in the Warp; they believed that only twisted and evil Warp creatures existed there.
Even if Livy and Magnus forcefully claim the existence of gods, the Thousand Sons might be more inclined to believe that the Emperor is a god, given that the Emperor's terrifying psychic aura has long been deeply ingrained in their minds.
In this context, the Thousand Sons Legion's mission on this planet became the elimination of a special subspace creature.
Watching the argument quickly escalate into a shouting match, Li Wei sat to Magnus's left, his thoughts drifting away.
He recalled his previous trip to the City of Perfection in search of a way to deal with the Four Chaos Gods.
He felt that his research on the power of faith was still too superficial. He had made some progress, but he had already given those progress to Kayan as a trump card.
However, the question of how to sever the power of faith of the four Chaos Gods, which was first explored in the City of Perfection, ultimately failed.
His research showed that the four Chaos Gods did indeed need the power of faith, but the power of faith was not their only weakness.
Putting aside everything else, under the impetus of Imperial Truth, even faith has almost disappeared throughout the galaxy, let alone faith in the Four Chaos Gods, yet they still live well.
They are the gods of rules, as can be seen from their divine roles. As long as living beings have corresponding emotions and activities, they will not die.
Furthermore, according to Li Wei's research, if a large number of gods of faith could be created, the four Chaos Gods could be weakened by plundering the emotional share they needed.
By dissecting the power of faith, he discovered that the power of faith in the Warhammer universe is actually a special product born from the fusion of the emotions generated when living beings pray and the omnipresent psionic energy in the warp.
"Unfortunately, Magnus was not willing to become the god of faith."
Levi glanced at Magnus, who was tapping on the table trying to quell the argument, and thought to himself with a sigh.
Because faith can be toxic. If you truly accept that overwhelming belief and obsession, even if you have a strong will, you will gradually be transformed into the god imagined by the believers.
