From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 607 The Current Situation of the Empire
On October 0040, 10 of the Imperial Calendar, the Eternal Hall of the Imperial Palace welcomed the grandest celebration in human history.

Dorn, the Primarch known for his iron will, wore a wedding gown inlaid with adamantine scales and, with the Emperor's personal blessing, completed a sacred interracial union with Aoi Losri-an from Terra.

The layout of the wedding scene is the pinnacle of imperial aesthetics.

The hundred-meter-high painted glass windows refracted the sunlight into colorful waterfalls, illuminating the ceremony corridor composed of tens of thousands of crystal roses.

The choir of the Terrala elves formed a square formation and sang "Eternal Companions", which combined the marriage vows of humans and subhumans.

It is worth noting that Vulkan, the primarch of the Flame Lizards, personally served as the captain of the guard of honor. The blessed scepter he held was wrapped with the vine of immortality bestowed by Hera.

On the day of the wedding, most of the Primarchs were present, but some chose to stay in their respective territories in order to prevent Chaos demons from launching a sneak attack on the real universe during Dorne's wedding.

The Primarchs who were unable to attend expressed their blessings in their own ways.

Guilliman sent a astronomical device made by the most outstanding craftsmen in the Five Hundred Worlds, Sanguinius sent a choir of Blood Angels, and Perturabo's gift was of special significance. It was a miniature palace model with every detail of the wedding scene precisely reproduced inside, as if to remind the brothers not to forget the kindness of the elves.

The political significance of this marriage went far beyond the ceremony itself.

At the state banquet following the ceremony, representatives from subhumans and other races were allowed into the palace inner court.

The banquet hall dome, which was specially modified by the Engineering Department, projects the cultural totems of all major races within the empire in real time.

When Aoi appeared wearing a crown that combined human jewelry craftsmanship with the style of the elves, representatives of all races present inadvertently performed the highest etiquette of their own race.

The marriage of Dorn and Aoi marked the Empire's thorough recognition of the subhuman race and its regard for subhumans as an important cornerstone of the Empire, making all races that had no reproductive isolation from humans feel more submissive and dependent on the Empire.

The marriage celebration between Dorne and Aoi Lothrien can be said to have left a significant mark in the history of the empire.

In the seventh standard month after the wedding, the Imperial Government issued the "Subhuman Rights Act", and the cover of the collector's edition made of fine gold was engraved with the coat of arms of the Imperial Fist and the Elf Losrien Royal Family side by side.

The Act clearly states that all intelligent races that are reproductively compatible with humans shall enjoy full Imperial citizenship.

This policy directly led to a 47% surge in surrender requests within the Star Wars universe, greatly accelerating the integration of the expeditionary force.

For races that are reproductively isolated from humans, the Empire has adopted a more in-depth strategy of spiritual assimilation, which requires the Emperor to "personally take charge" to eliminate hidden dangers once and for all.

Sui Yang continued to consume more and more spiritual energy through the Golden Throne, subtly influencing the "aliens" who were brought under the rule of the empire.

Take the Sangheili (elite) as an example. These fighting races from the "08" universe worship every day in a prayer room inlaid with the emperor's holy statue.

In the temple of the Sangheili home planet "Sanghelios", the obsidian statue of the Emperor is three hundred meters tall, and the psychic crystals embedded in its eyes radiate golden light day and night.

As early as the founding of the empire, the Sangheili regarded Sui Yang as their "Lord" and "God-Emperor".

And when it comes to loyalty, no other race can compare to the Sangheili, who devote their whole heart, soul, and faith to "our Lord".

It is true that Sui Yang's actions did consolidate the rule of the empire, but it also increased his burden.

For the stability of the empire, Sui Yang could not leave the Golden Throne for long, and the total amount of spiritual energy consumed every day could even extinguish three bright giant stars (such as Betelgeuse and Rigel).

However, unlike the immobile Corpse King in the Warhammer 40K universe, Sui Yang still retains his freedom of movement.

In addition, there is a small spare "Golden Throne" in the Governor's Palace on the Earth in "Pacific Rim".

If necessary, this Primarch with the strongest psychic power can complete the succession procedure in a short period of time, so that his Emperor father can completely regain his freedom, and then go to the front line to supervise the battle in person.

And soon after Dorn married Aoi——

In the meditation hall of the Imperial Palace, Dorn knelt on one knee and presented a thick analysis report to the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne.

This seven-hundred-page document was bound in a gold-wrapped envelope, with the Imperial Fists emblem and complex confidentiality runes etched on the surface.

When the Emperor used psychic power to suspend the document in the air and open the title page, a psychic-projected gene chain model emerged on the parchment, and each spiral structure was slowly rotating.

The report demonstrated in detail that the union of the Primarch and the elven royal family could indeed produce offspring naturally.

But the red warning bar in the third chapter is particularly eye-catching.

During the development of the embryo, it is very likely that it will emit unique subspace fluctuations, the intensity of which is at least 12000 times that of an ordinary psyker.

The psychic projection demonstrated that this fluctuation would penetrate the tightest psychic shielding and form a striking "stellar explosion" in the subspace, which would then attract the attention of a large number of demons and monsters.

Furthermore, even though Aoi possessed a strong psychic talent and was quite good at using pure psychic energy, the physical strength and mental will of the royal members of the elves could never compete with the Primarch, and they were even worse than the Greek lesser gods who had resisted the erosion of Chaos for tens of thousands of years.

At that moment, Dorn's voice echoed in the Meditation Hall, each syllable carrying the firmness of steel:

"Father, I am not afraid of fighting, but I must not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of me."

Just as Dorn said, if she conceived a child with a member of the elven royal family, the evil gods hiding in the warp would have countless ways to invade Aoi's body and contaminate the fetus in her belly.

After all, no matter how cautious and vigilant Dorne is, it is impossible for him to pay attention to his wife's every move all the time.

No matter how strong Aoi is compared to ordinary people, he cannot confront the evil god head-on like the Primarch.

If Chaos succeeded in corrupting or plundering his offspring, and used them as bargaining chips to threaten the Imperial Fists, or even the entire Empire, Dorne would be a sinner who would be doomed.

Therefore, Dorn believed that before the Empire was completely stable and all Chaos heretics were resolved, there was no possibility of hastily preparing for pregnancy, and he spoke again:

"Father, before the last heretic and demon is purified, and before the last rift in the warp is sealed, I will never let my personal feelings endanger the Imperial defense."

There was a complex light flowing in the emperor's golden eyes. It was not only the majesty of a ruler, but also a hint of the warmth of a mortal father.

Sui Yang tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne with his fingers. This habitual action has continued since the founding of the empire, and the interval between each tap is accurate to milliseconds.

Although Sui Yang did want to have a grandson, he still respected his son's choice. Aoi, who was kneeling beside Dorn, raised his head slightly. His long golden hair, unique to the elves, was like flowing moonlight in the spiritual light, as if he was ready to speak at the right time.

The "Eternal Vow" necklace around her neck flickered with a soft blue light, and the life rune inside the soul stone showed that her biological age was equivalent to 24 years old by human standards.

"Your Majesty, Lord of Mankind."

Aoi's voice was different from her husband's, as clear as a crystal wind chime. "For us elves, thousands of years is just the length of a deep sleep, and I believe that under your guidance, the human empire will not even need such a long time to cleanse the world.

Besides, what we elves are best at is patience."

These words showed that Aoi naturally supported the decision of her primarch husband.

Besides, although her lifespan was not infinite, it was not a problem for her to live for tens of thousands of years, so Aoi thought she could afford to wait.

Finally, the Lord of Mankind nodded slowly and said, "Your caution is the shield of the empire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sui Yang gently waved his left hand, releasing a faint golden light that enveloped the somewhat dazed Aoi.

These light particles are not simply energy, but contain the Emperor's understanding of the essence of life.

As the golden light penetrated Aoi's skin, golden stars appeared in her emerald eyes that had never been seen before.

Dorn saw at a glance that his father had used up his spiritual energy to personally "bless" his wife. As for the content of the blessing, it was most likely to strengthen her body, strengthen her will, and even prolong her life.

The rock-like Primarch immediately expressed his great gratitude to Sui Yang: "Thank you, father!"

Dorn's sonorous voice of thanks echoed in the meditation hall. The psychic flames around the golden throne swayed slightly with the sound waves, casting changing light and shadows on the ground.

After the footsteps of the Primarch couple disappeared outside the door of the Meditation Hall and the sound of the heavy door closing completely dissipated, the golden light in Sui Yang's eyes faded like a tide, revealing a pair of human eyes that remained astonishingly clear after hundreds of years.

But Sui Yang showed a rare trace of fatigue.

Silence returned to the throne room.

Sui Yang's deep gaze penetrated the dome, as if looking directly at the chaotic realm outside the real universe.

If the current holographic territory map of the empire was displayed at this moment, the projections of the eighteen universes (including the main universe) would shine brightly in the darkness, and each point of light would represent the pulse of thought of billions of lives.

Sui Yang could clearly sense the 400 trillion thoughts and emotions that were flooding in like a tide.

The determination of the frontline soldiers, the hope of the colonists, the curiosity of the scientists, and so on, these spiritual energies continuously flow into his mind through the throne, and are then "infused" into the realms of heaven and hell by him.

If we compare today's heaven and hell with the real universe, these two spiritual dimensions have expanded to the size of a small galaxy with a diameter of 50,000 light years.

Within the two realms, the mountains and rivers constructed of pure spiritual energy are evolving autonomously, and are even beginning to give birth to guardian spirits such as angels, demons, and terracotta warriors.

Sui Yang believes that this phenomenon can already show that heaven and hell are "extremely microscopic subspace dimensions", that is, two pure dimensions that are completely controlled by his will.

"It's not time yet."

But Sui Yang believes that the time for a real counterattack is far from over. After all, they only have the capital now, and still do not have the strength to completely overturn the table.

As for the Terraria Universe controlled by Dorn, the total population has reached an astonishing 160 billion. The scope of human involvement there is inside and outside the Orion Arm, and more than 400 Earth-like planets have been transformed.

The total number of Astartes of the Imperial Fists is approximately two million.

The second is the Halo universe numbered "08".

The Halo universe can be said to be a key node that allows Atlas and humans in the main universe to make rapid progress.

After all, humans in the Halo universe entered the era of interstellar colonization more than 400 years earlier than humans in the main universe, and their technologies related to interstellar navigation, atmospheric transformation, etc. are "innumerable."

However, the governor of the Halo universe is not just one person, but is jointly held by multiple Primarchs, namely Fulgrim, Angron, Riemann, Mortarion, and Corax.

The total number of Astartes of Fulgrim's Sons of Man, Angron's War Hounds, Leman's Space Wolves, Mortarion's Dawn Raiders, and Corax's Raven Guard are similar, all around 800,000.

The universe numbered "Zero Nine" is "Cyberpunk 2077", where Dorn serves as the governor part-time and the total population is approximately billion.

The universe numbered "10" is "Terminator". There is no Primarch serving as the governor for the time being. After all, the main force of the integrated forces is the former ABCS (Atlas Emergency Response Team), as well as the special operations team of the Investigation Department and the elite of the reconnaissance force.

Therefore, the "10" universe is directly governed and connected to the main universe, and its total population is also about 60 billion.

Next is the Gears of War universe numbered "One-One", with Perturabo as its governor. The Gears of War universe also has the full support of Atlas, bringing the total number of humans to 120 billion.

The Iron Warriors Legion, led by Perturabo, had a total of about two million Astartes.

Next is the "Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters" universe numbered "12", whose governor is still Magnus.

But humans in the "Godzilla" universe are on the verge of extinction, with less than a million survivors. To this day, the total population on the other side of the space gate is only about 20 billion, and their range of activities is limited to the solar system of the "Godzilla" universe.

However, the biological division of the "Godzilla" universe is using the genes of those giant beasts to conduct various biological experiments, preparing to clone the giant beasts at low cost to become large "cannon fodder" units of the Thousand Sons Legion.

Then there is the "Trench Crusaders" universe numbered "One Three", whose governor is Leon, and whose total population is about 300 billion.

"One-Four" is the "Starship Troopers" universe, and is also one of the key nodes for the rapid increase in the overall strength of the Human Empire. The total population is as high as 6000 billion, and the governors are Guilliman, Sanguinius, Lion, and Horus.

"One-Five" is the "Alien" universe, with Riemann as the governor and a total population of 1200 billion.

"One-Six" refers to the "Red Alert" universe. The governors are the twin brothers Alpharius and Omegan. The total population is 400 billion. As for the number of Astartes in the Alpha Legion, it is about , which is not much different from that of the Thousand Sons. It can be regarded as an auxiliary legion.

The last one is the "One-Seven" universe, which completely "transformed" the human empire, namely the "Star Wars" universe.
