Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 626 Cause and Effect
……

The Think Tank Fleet stayed in Comoros, together with the Imperial Main Fleet.

Uslan managed to spread the news that humans had rescued Aisha far and wide, and eventually all the elves would know that Aisha had been rescued.

The Emperor and Uslan's judgment was not wrong. Saving Aisha would become a good cause and lead to good results.

Feedback comes at the end of the first month after Aisha returns to the real universe.

The central city of Comoros.

The manor that originally belonged to the largest conspiracy group has now become the palace of the goddess of life.

The audience hall was adorned with treasures looted from many races.

The Emperor stood in the audience chamber, with Aisha, the Eldar Goddess of Life, beside him.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, Valdo, the primarchs who participated in the destruction of Comoros, and Qin Xia who rescued Aisha stood on the left side of the Emperor.

Uslan stood next to Aisha.

Before them was the first group of envoys from the Ark World who came to Comoros with goodwill and rewards.

Qin Xia looked at these messengers.

They were led by a prophet. The most obvious feature of their clothing was the green color representing Aisha. On each person's chest, where the emblem of the Ark World to which they belonged was printed, there was a red heart engraved.

"Mother Goddess."

The messengers knelt down before Aisha.

Elsa raised her hand gently and asked the children to stand up.

"They come from Aisha's Prayer Ark World, and they are loyal believers who still believe in you." Uslan came to the side of the envoys and introduced the visitors to Aisha.

Now, among the many Eldar Ark worlds, there is only one that clearly believes in Aisha, and that is the Prayer of Aisha.

As for the Dark Eldar and the inhabitants of Commorragh, before their destruction, they did not believe in Aisha at all, but believed in the god of war Cain.

Cain had humiliated Aisha before the fall of the Eldar gods. Even if Commorra was not attacked by humans, the Dark Eldar would not have taken Aisha seriously.

"Praise the warrior who saved the Mother Goddess." The prophet looked at Qin Xia and bowed.

Qin Xia bowed slightly in return.

"We will wait for the Mother Goddess's orders." The prophet looked at Aisha again, "Perhaps your faith has declined in this era, but we still uphold the faith of our ancestors, and we will protect you."

Uslan immediately responded: "Aisha's Prayer Ark World took great risks and sacrificed many people to break through the network route guarded by our dark relatives, just to be the first to meet you."

Aisha couldn't say anything and was so moved that she covered her face and sobbed.

Seeing the goddess of life sobbing, Chagatai looked at Qin Xia with a squint, his left eyebrow slightly frowned, as if to say: This alien god is a crybaby? I thought she was just as divine as the emperor.

Qin Xia shrugged and said nothing.

Angron could sense the emotions and feelings of the messengers of Aisha's Prayer Craft World, so he could understand why Aisha was sobbing.

Today, when the belief in the Goddess of Life has long since declined, an Ark World, upon hearing the news of Aisha's return, will pay the price of blood just to be by the side of the Goddess for the first time. This is the appeal of Aisha to her believers.

But unfortunately, this Ark world is probably the only one that truly believes in Aisha.

"Humans." Aisha's Prayer Prophet took out a square box, which was a device made of spirit bones. "It contains the route map discovered by our Arkworld ancestors. As the attitudes of other Arkworlds towards you are unclear, we cannot give you the route maps given to us by other Arkworlds for diplomatic reasons."

The Emperor stretched out his hand, and the spirit bone device flew into the air and fell into his hand.

Angron looked towards the Emperor, wanting to remind him of one thing: the Emperor must now say something to these Eldar.

The reason is that these messengers from Aisha's Prayer Ark World encountered many Ark Worlds on their way here, and those Ark Worlds entrusted them to find out the attitude of the Human Emperor by means of an audience with Aisha.

No matter how bad the emperor is at speaking, he should speak now.

However, Angron did not need to remind him.

The Emperor held out his hand, and the wraithbone device floated back into the Prophet's hands.

"Your Aisha Prayer Ark World is very weak. If you hand over the network routes you control, you may be besieged by opponents."

"We humans saved your mother goddess, but this was not a transaction of Aisha in exchange for a network route. It was the first time that the human species extended a helping hand to an intelligent race with whom it shared weal and woe."

"In my eyes, I saw this meeting as a beginning. A prophet. The beginning of two races moving together into the future, fighting a terrible and powerful enemy together."

The Emperor's words echoed throughout the hall, and his determined and kind eyes appeared particularly sincere and sacred against the golden light.

"Greetings to you, Lord of Mankind." The messengers performed the Sky Eagle Salute like humans.

Then the prophet of Aisha's prayer was silent for two seconds, and asked the Emperor: "But my people have prejudices against you, so..."

"There is no race that does not have prejudice against another race." The Emperor's tone was gentle and tolerant. "In ancient times, our race would divide each other into different groups and attack each other. Among two groups of people with the same genes, one group would exterminate the other group."

"But is it meaningless? Not really."

"In essence, in ancient times, our people did not kill each other because of differences in ethnicity, but for the pursuit of interests...for survival, for a better life, or for other material conditions that are conducive to survival."

“Individuals are weak, so they need to find common ground with their peers, use that common ground to unite others, form a collective, and fight for their interests. Any concept that can bring individuals together will become a tool to achieve this goal.”

"Then in the space age, when bigger enemies and interests emerged, we were able to unite. Those old cultural and ethnic ideas were replaced by the greater collective concept of humanism."

"Party unity, fighting against dissidents, unity, and competition are the foundations of the survival of intelligent races."

The Emperor paused, giving the Prophet time to understand and savor the moment.

Then he continued.

"Prophet." "Humans and the Eldar are just like humans who entered the space age. They are facing a new crisis of survival and are faced with an imminent ideological choice."

"The Chaos Enemy is a threat to our entire reality."

"Should we build a new community of 'real creatures', or continue to kill each other? Just because you think we are an inferior race and we think you are damned aliens, so we keep killing each other until the whole reality falls apart?"

After listening to what the Emperor said, the Prophet of Aisha's Prayer suddenly remembered the War in Heaven.

The ancient saints spared no effort to spread life and treated every new race with love and peace. Is the reason for this simply because they were all born "white lotus"?
I'm afraid not.

Goodwill and morality alone are not enough to drive a large group like a race to persist in doing something.

The effect of these positive qualities on a race will be just like that of humans in the Golden Age: people with good moral qualities build utopias for aliens throughout the universe, and evil people want to exterminate all life, including humans.

Perhaps the ancient saints had already foreseen the birth of chaos, and a future in which chaos would become the archenemy of all real creatures. Therefore, they wanted to create a community of real creatures, and their race took the lead in setting an example.

If this is true, the sublimation of the ancient saints is definitely not just a sublimation on the physical level, and it is definitely not as simple as becoming a god who can make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand.

They want to unite all living things in reality and defend reality.

As a result, the ideological sublimation of all living beings in reality was destroyed by a slave race of xx emperors and xx overlords and a group of star gods who only knew how to eat.

"What he said makes sense." Angron conveyed the prophet's thoughts to his adoptive father.

Qin Xia thought about it and found that it was true.

"For real creatures" and "For the real universe" are slogans that seem too grand. No one would have paid attention to them before, but now everyone is facing the existential crisis of chaos.

Just like the humanism practiced by the human empire today, no one would care about it in the pre-space age. Who would care about all that mess when you can't even leave the earth?

But when humans entered the space age, encountered aliens, and needed to colonize worlds outside the solar system, the humanism that the Empire practices today would naturally emerge.

Thought is originally an abstract spiritual existence, but when the carrier of thought has a real basis including needs and crises, the spiritual existence will become concrete.

"The emperor's years have not been lived in vain." Qin Xia couldn't help but sigh.

"I will convey your words to my compatriots." The Prophet of Aisha's Prayer bowed again.

"This is not my original idea, but something I discussed with my best friend, Prophet Eldrad Uslan, many years ago."

The Emperor looked at Uslan, smiling.

Uslan bowed and saluted, holding his helmet and smiling.

The Aisha Prayer Messengers said goodbye and left.

Aisha was brought back to the pocket universe by Qin Xia.

Others left one after another.

When only Qin Xia, Emperor and Uslan were left.

The smiles on the latter two's faces disappeared instantly.

Uslan turned and walked away.

The Emperor turned his head away and looked at the dark Comoros outside the window of the hall.

"After that, those Eldar who are inclined to cooperate..." said the Emperor, "will take practical actions and come to Commorragh or lobby other Craftworlds. They will also change from being silent people who dare not speak to being speakers who can use some things as a basis."

"Until their opponents know that you almost got Uslan killed." Qin Xia said.

The Emperor was silent for a moment.

“You have no idea what happened before.”

When Qin Xia was about to leave, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"Uslan was not the person you see now at the beginning."

"In the beginning, he was a person who believed that other intelligent species should be exterminated by the Eldar. He had means and determination. He was the kind of person who would call on a group of deserters to counterattack on the battlefield, and then carry a bag of explosives to perish together with the enemy. So he was charismatic and had appeal."

"Under his lobbying, 90 percent of the Eldar were united and prepared to launch an extermination operation against humans."

The emperor gritted his teeth as he spoke this.

"After all, the threat of Chaos is not as big to us as I told the prophet of Aisha's prayer. When the day comes when Chaos is no longer a threat, guess what Uslan will do?"

"If I hadn't forced Uslan to go to the Moro Star Gate and let him experience Chaos, he would be our number one rival instead of a comrade now!"

Hearing this, Qin Xia said nothing. He thought that since they were comrades for the time being, they should cooperate instead of trying to harm each other. What if Uslan was a narrow-minded person, and the good start of saving Aisha would become a reason for the Eldar and humans to go to war?

"You always say that I put too much emphasis on the future and become confused because of that." Qin Xia said, "The only difference between you and me is that you put too much emphasis on the past."

The Emperor remained silent.

Qin Xia did not continue this topic, but asked another question: "Why did you take the quadrant to Mars?"

"Let him..." The Emperor pondered, "Let him lead an operation to hone his abilities other than scientific research."

"What action?"

"Searching for a ship from the Golden Age."

Qin Xia knew that the reason why the Emperor asked Quadrant to go to Mars was definitely not as simple as looking for a ship. This might be a fact, but it was just an excuse.

Qin Xia said no more and turned and left with the sound of his cloak fluttering.
