The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 467: Essence and Characteristics! It's good to lean on a big tree for shade! Reward!

"I understand. What should I do next? Do I need to collect any materials?" Guilliman asked.

Apart from the Emperor and the Four Chaos Gods in the Warp, no one probably knows the specific ceremony of ascension, whether it requires taking drugs to advance, or relies solely on the power of human faith.

"Don't worry, I will now show you what your essence is."

The Emperor smiled and said that even if materials or props were needed, Guilliman did not need to look for them. He would take Guilliman through a journey of self-discovery.

"My essence..." Guilliman was stunned. His first reaction was that his body structure was composed of various genetic engineering and ancient sorcery.

After that comes the Warp Entity Seed that the Emperor had previously spoken of.

"The essence of the Primarch comes from the Warp, and each essence in the Warp is unique. Among countless abstract and fragmented emotions, there are always a few pure characteristic essences."

"The cunning Tzeentch pursues constant change, the lustful Slaanesh only wants to be happy forever, the bloodthirsty Khorne can only find his meaning in killing, and the corrupt Nurgle revels in the process of life disappearing."

"These ultimate and pure characteristics are the essence of the gods of the warp."

Guilliman nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood what the Emperor meant. According to this statement, each of these Primarchs had their own essence, and each of their characteristics manifested itself in different ways.

Perhaps the essence of Horus would be pride and arrogance, while he would have something akin to wisdom.

When revealing the nature of the Warp to Guilliman, the Emperor mentally recalled that he had previously stripped the physical seeds of their properties and memories, leaving only the husks as vessels for the Primarchs' souls.

The reason why he did this was that he was worried that the Primarchs would be affected by their pure essential characteristics, completely lose their humanity, and despise human life.

After all, the Primarchs were not real humans, so it would be reasonable for them all to return to the Warp and accompany the Four Chaos Gods.

That is why the Emperor erased their characteristics and memories, giving the Primarchs space to give birth to their humanity, but human nature is destined to be a complex, changeable and fluctuating state of the soul.

The pure nature of characteristics will not allow other emotions to exist. Deification is the process of abandoning human nature, discarding all impurities of mortals, and becoming an incomprehensible existence.

The only thing the Emperor can guarantee is that Guilliman will retain some goodwill and kindness towards humans after being promoted to a god. As for the new gods that will come later, they may need to be controlled by the matrix of the giant enterprise.

Thinking of this, the Emperor believed that his education of the Primarchs had some effect.

Because according to the theory of the nature of the Primarchs, after Horus launched the Great Rebellion, these twenty Primarchs should have rebelled. After all, the Warp is their true place of origin.

After saying this, the Emperor temporarily closed the alien space force field, exerted his psychic power, and brought Guilliman's consciousness to a mysterious subspace.

In the chaotic darkness, Guilliman saw a vague light and shadow. He opened his eyes hard to try to recognize these things. Soon, he saw a sword burning with pale flames.

A teardrop-shaped spear, a broadsword that gleams like the sun, a staff inlaid with gold, gems, and runes, a book that keeps turning the pages...

Obviously, these items are representatives of various Primarchs, and they symbolize the essence of each Primarch.

Not long after, Guilliman suddenly felt something hit his body, and a nostalgic and familiar feeling came to his heart.

This indescribable wonderful feeling made Guilliman quite surprised. Is this his true nature?

Guilliman closed his eyes, trying to feel the power carefully, but this strange feeling seemed to be limited to this, and there were no new changes.

"This is just a projection of the area where I sealed the essence of each Primarch. You haven't really obtained your essence yet, but I believe you have already had a preliminary feeling of this wonderful feeling."

The Emperor suddenly appeared and explained to Guilliman.

"No wonder, every time I travel through the warp on a warship, there is always a mysterious force pulling me. I thought it was the temptation of the warp entity."

Guilliman suddenly understood why Magnus had thrown himself into the exploration of the Warp with all his might.

The baby longs to be embraced by his mother, the traveler who sleeps in the open air wants to return to his hometown, the fallen leaves fall into the roots of the tree...

Their souls originally came from here, so how could it not resonate with them?

However, Guilliman was very self-disciplined and strictly followed the Emperor's orders. He never lingered in the Warp, and only now was he able to glimpse the truth of everything.

"Next I will send you to the subspace, and your essence will merge with you, just like the positive and negative poles of a magnet attract each other."

The Emperor patted Guilliman on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "After this, I will proceed to the next step, but I will not tell you the details of the subsequent plans now."

This action plan is of great importance, so it is best to take it one step at a time and let as few people as possible know the full details.

Guilliman nodded, but soon sighed again: "The situation in the human empire is so bad now. I have to leave right after waking up. I am worried..."

The team that came to Macragge this time included not only the Great Sage Caul who had come to the appointment, the Eldar who hoped to form an alliance of interests with humans, but also the living saint Celestine who obeyed the instructions of the God-Emperor.

It goes without saying that since the God-Emperor sent Celestine, he must hope that Guilliman will return to Terra and take control of the Empire on his behalf.

Now that he's gone, who will take over this mess?

"Don't worry, I will go to Terra to meet him as soon as possible. Just carry out the task I give you."

In order to complete Guilliman's ascension ceremony, he definitely needs the help of the God-Emperor, and he must communicate with the God-Emperor in advance.

In addition, the Emperor also has to find a way to free himself from being trapped in the golden toilet. The Emperor of this universe possesses the power of human faith for tens of thousands of years.

He is definitely much better than me in terms of psychic powers. With his help, the success rate of upgrading will be much higher.

Guilliman secretly rejoiced, this was exactly what he wanted the Emperor to say.

He was afraid that the Emperor would turn around and return to his own universe, leaving him to search for his essence in the Warp.

Now that the Emperor himself is ruling on Terra, that is of course the best situation.

"When will I go to the Warp?"

Guilliman couldn't wait to put an end to it all and return the galaxy to normal.

The war that has been burning for ten thousand years has left too many lives in a purgatory-like world. Now that he has awakened, he must end this nightmare as soon as possible.

"The sooner the better."

The Emperor certainly hopes to get everything done as quickly as possible, but before officially setting off, he still needs to explain some things to Calgar and others.

"Call everyone here and tell them you are leaving for the time being, and then set off immediately." After the Emperor finished speaking, he paused again and said to Guilliman: "You may encounter some unexpected events when you go to the Warp this time, such as not being able to find your essence, or the appearance of demons."

"But no matter what happens, you have to hold on. I will always assist you in secret. Remember, never give up."

The Emperor could not fully guarantee that Guilliman would be able to find his own essence, so he had to remind him in advance and be mentally prepared to deal with any emergency.

"Yes, I will complete the task!"

Guilliman's eyes were determined, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if he encountered the Four Chaos Gods in the Warp, he would fight to the death to get his own essence.

After deciding on the next plan, Guilliman turned on the communicator and asked Calgar to immediately summon all senior generals and Cawl and others to the library.

Guilliman then fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about how to let Calgar lead the Ultramar sector to its best condition during his absence.

And quickly complete the expansion, training, and war preparations of the Ultramarines Legion in case of emergency.

Thoughts one after another emerged in Guilliman's mind. There were too many things waiting for him to complete urgently.

Not long after, Chapter Master Calga entered the library with Chief of the Think Tank Digris, Inquisitor Katarina, Living Saint Celestine, Great Sage Caul and others.

The Emperor pretended to be a guard and stood not far from Guilliman, and no one noticed that there was such an important person here.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Guilliman slowly spoke: "Everyone, the Chaos War in Macragge has subsided, and the Ultramar sector has returned to peace."

"I will leave here to carry out another important task. Before I leave, I need to tell you something."

Leaving Macragge, on a more important mission...

Calgar was obviously stunned. Shouldn't Guilliman's top priority now be to reorganize the legion as quickly as possible, lead them to fight again, and restore the glory of the empire?

What could be more important than this?

"Primarch, please forgive me for being blunt. The situation in Macragge is not stable yet. Many brothers have not had the chance to see you yet. We hope you can stay a little longer."

Calgar knew only too well what Guilliman meant to the Ultramarines and to Macragge.

In the ten thousand years, countless Ultramarines Chapter Masters passed away, and these Astartes never got to see the day when Guilliman woke up until their death.

Guilliman looked at Calgar's fiery gaze. He could feel the other's extremely eager state of mind, and he also knew how much his children missed him.

But compared to meeting his descendants, finding the essence and completing the ascension ceremony is obviously more important, and he cannot waste time because of this little thing.

"The mission I'm about to carry out is very important and urgent. If you have anything to say, we can talk after I come back."

Guilliman sighed inwardly, he also wanted to be with his offspring, but he didn't know if this trip to the Warp would be successful. He might die at the hands of evil gods and demons, or he might lose his original intention after being upgraded.

After becoming a god of the subspace, I am afraid that my descendants will no longer recognize me, and some "goodbye" means that we will never meet again.

Guilliman tensed the muscles in his cheeks, trying his best to look calm.

"Respected Primarch, can you tell us where you are going?" At this time, the living saint Celestine stepped forward and asked.

She came with a mission entrusted by the God-Emperor. The God-Emperor needed Guilliman to return to Terra to rule the Empire. This was the God-Emperor's highest instruction.

Guilliman had just woken up, so logically no one would remind him of anything more important than returning to Terra.

"I'm sorry, but I can't comment on this matter." Guilliman responded coldly. This matter was too important. With so many people present, who could ensure that the news would not be leaked?

The matter was kept secret, and Guilliman would never reveal any information about the mission he was going to carry out.

"Primarch, you must come back to Terra with us as soon as possible to meet the God-Emperor. This is the God-Emperor's order!"

Inquisitor Katarina also spoke up to persuade her. She originally disliked Celestine, but after confirming that she had successfully resurrected the Primarch, she had to believe in her identity.

The status of the Imperial Inquisitor is indeed high, but it is still several levels lower than that of a living saint. Here, only Celestine's words are the most effective.

After all, her every word and action represents the will of the God-Emperor.

"I know this is the Emperor's instruction, but what I am doing now is also what the Emperor asked me to do."

Guilliman found it difficult to accept that the Emperor had become the God-Emperor, so he still used the Emperor to refer to his father. Logically, Guilliman should believe in the God-Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne.

Instead of the young emperor who came from a parallel universe.

After all, the Divine Emperor is his real father.

But after carefully weighing the pros and cons, Guilliman believed that only by completing the ascension ceremony could the predicament facing the Empire at this moment be effectively resolved.

How much effect could returning to Terra and regaining power have on the collapsing galaxy?

Facing Guilliman's words, Celestine showed a look of doubt. How could the God-Emperor issue two completely different instructions at the same time?

Guilliman also noticed Celestine's confusion, but he did not give any specific explanation, and he never told a lie from beginning to end.

At this time, Archmagos Cawl did not say a word the whole time, but just stared at Guilliman motionlessly. He actually wanted to speak, but didn't know how to say it.

He came to Macragge to fulfill his promise, but Guilliman had not yet paid the Eldar the reward for resurrecting Guilliman!
Evelyne's trip was not in vain.

The Army of Death needs to form an alliance with the Ultramarines Legion to contain the Chaos Legion for the Eldar so that Evelyne can collect the materials to help Death complete his ascension.

That’s right, after experiencing countless setbacks and hardships, the elves seemed to have understood the truth that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.

The reproduction of a civilized species fundamentally depends on whether there is a "God" behind it.

Because of the Emperor, humanity was able to dominate the galaxy and even survive when faced with internal rebellion.

The reason why the Eldar fell from their position as the overlord of the Milky Way and never recovered is essentially because they have no backing and no protection from gods.

And believing in Iniad, the god of death, is the only hope for the continuation of their race!
