Chapter 100: Transmigrators Never Surrender, Warhammer Cannot Do Without Warp Psionic Power! (Please Subscribe)

[Mysterious Zhou Mingrui (Group Owner): No, from what you're saying, your world's human empire has already entered the interstellar age, so why haven't you unified your currency and financial system yet?]

After listening to Rogue's account, Klein was shocked by the brutal tax system of the human empire in the Warhammer world, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

He finds it hard to imagine.

A star-level civilization doesn't even have a unified currency and financial system; it still needs to pay taxes using its population and goods.

Is this really scientific?

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: Because the Imperium of Man is so vast, spanning the entire galaxy, it contains approximately half a million inhabited planets and hundreds of millions of ordinary planets.]

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: Despite the Empire’s vast territory and numerous planets, its administrative efficiency is relatively low. Information transmission relies mainly on traditional paper documents and verbal calls, lacking modern information-based administrative systems and artificial intelligence assistance.]

The human empire's ships also rely primarily on warp travel. However, due to warp storms and the influence of the Chaos Rift, these ships are prone to getting lost or even being attacked by enemies.

This resulted in the human empire, even after entering the interstellar age, still lacking a unified currency and financial system.

Roger replied with a sense of helplessness.

Why can't human empires establish a unified monetary system?

There are many reasons for this.

The most important reason for this is the difficulty in communication and transportation.

Interstellar travel and communication in the Warhammer universe primarily rely on the warp, but the warp is extremely inefficient for both transmitting messages and transporting resources.

Interstellar travel goes without saying.

A fleet that sets sail today may arrive at its destination tomorrow, or it may arrive in the next millennium, or even the day before it sets sail, all assuming no enemies interfere.

Subspace communications are an even bigger problem.

The human empire's warp communication technology relies primarily on the Star Speakers. Each human planet has a Star Speaker acting as a liaison, and once a Star Speaker dies, they lose all contact with the empire.

The most frustrating thing is that communication between Star Speakers doesn't rely on words or writing, but on an image imagined in their minds, which the other person then tries to guess what the other wants to express.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if a human empire could establish a unified monetary and financial system.

to be honest.

The problem is that the human empire has expanded too much, and logistics and communications simply cannot keep up.

[Lu Sheng, the Supreme Demon: What the newcomer said is only one aspect. I think the reason why the human empire in the Warhammer world is not good is because they did not implement a cooperative development strategy on human planets outside Terra, but rather a complete colonization policy.]

While all are human planets under imperial rule, some have already entered the interstellar age, while others lack even basic industrial systems and remain in the age of cold weapons. The role of the planetary governor is to collect taxes for the empire.

[Lu Sheng, the Supreme Demon King: As long as the planetary governor pays eleven percent of the taxes, he can rule this planet in any way he wants, even if he turns all the humans on the planet into slaves and exploits them in the most extreme way, leaving mountains of corpses, the empire will not interfere.]

Paying taxes on time is the greatest act of loyalty to the God Emperor.

Conversely, any planet that dares to refuse to pay taxes will suffer the Empire's most brutal blows; if the resistance escalates, an extermination order will be issued, wiping out all life on the planet.

The human empires in the Warhammer world rule their subjects with such ruthlessness and cruelty.

It's not about common development.

Instead, it was endless oppression and exploitation, utter colonization.

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: Lu Sheng is absolutely right. The Empire's policy towards ordinary human planets is nothing but blatant colonization, with utmost exploitation and oppression.]

[Warhammer Planet Governor: So, guys, help me! Save the kids!]

Rogge pleaded for help again.

However, he was met with silence.

Human Empire, Chaos God, Demon Legion, Interstellar War...

Such a war is beyond the reach of ordinary group members.

Then consider the issue of suppression by the laws of another universe.

The crowd fell into an even deeper silence.

Even Cthulhu Ying Zheng, who had been spying on the Qin Empire and wanted to expand it to other universes, dared not speak.

Finally, it was the group admin, Klein, who broke the silence.

[Mysterious Zhou Mingrui (Group Owner): Newbie, it's not that we're unwilling to help you, but this Multiverse Chat Group is a bit different from what you imagine. Apart from the group owner and administrators, other group members don't have the ability to travel between universes, and the chat group won't solve the problem of the laws suppressing other universes for its members.]

[Mysterious Zhou Mingrui (Group Owner): If your world were just a simple interstellar war, that would be fine; we could all try to find a way to help you. But since it involves Chaos Gods...]

Klein stopped there and didn't continue.

Because as long as the other person isn't stupid, they can understand the underlying meaning in his words.

Previously, some group members were willing to use the red envelope rule to send their avatars to the mysterious resurrected world.

That's because the strange creatures in the Mysterious Revival World lack sentience, and through studying them, people have gained some understanding of the cosmic laws governing the Mysterious Revival World, so the risks are still within a controllable range.

But the Warhammer universe is different.

Through the accounts of Rogue and the eccentric demon Lu Sheng, one can imagine the dangers of the Warhammer world.

No one believed they could solve the Warhammer problem.

Or rather, apart from Niu Jun, the administrator, no one in the chat group dares to guarantee that they can contend with the Chaos God under the suppression of the Warhammer universe's rules.

I saw the reply from the group admin, Klein.

Roger's heart sank.

What the hell.

This chat group of all the heavens is a little different from what he imagined.

Why is it that other people's chat groups have powerful members to rely on, and the members can even go on picnics and barbecues to other universes every now and then? Why is my own chat group so useless?

Let alone the issue of group members traveling through time, they can't even solve the problem of suppression by the laws of another universe.

That's fucking trash!

However, Roger did not completely give up hope and asked with a glimmer of hope.

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: Can Nak help the kids?]

[Mysterious Zhou Mingrui (Group Owner): Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it. With my current abilities, I can't solve the problem of the suppression by the laws of the other universe. So you'd better consult the great Niu Jun. He might have a solution.]

[Governor of Warhammer Planet: Thanks for the reminder, Lord Kelp. I'll go consult Master Niu Jun right away!]

Klein's refusal disappointed Roger.

However, he understood what Klein meant. There was someone in the chat group who could solve his problem, but that person was not the group owner Klein, but the administrator Niu Jun, who was also from the same hometown.

He just turned to Klein for help, but he'd completely gone to the wrong place.

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: @Journey to the West Niu Jun, bro, can you help this kid?]

Roger pleaded for help in a very humble and nervous manner.

They feared that even the last glimmer of hope would be completely extinguished.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West (Administrator): Can you tell me what you would do if you didn't receive an invitation to the All-Heavens Chat Group?]

Niu Jun asked curiously.

[Warhammer Planet Governor: To be honest, I've already had ten rituals prepared in advance at the Governor's Mansion. If the Imperial tax collectors don't give my Augusta citizens a way to survive, these ten rituals will be activated simultaneously.]

Roger answered truthfully.

He was now hoping that his fellow countryman from the Journey to the West world could help him. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to follow the original plan and hold a Chaos Sacrifice before the Imperial Tax Collection Ship arrived, leading his people to join the Four Little Merchants.

Anyway, paying taxes is out of the question.

Impossible in this life.

At worst, they could simply switch sides and join the Four Little Vendors, leading the entire human race of Augusta to form a new Demon Warband.

As for his soul falling into the subspace after death, where it was devoured and tormented by the four peddlers?
What the hell.

All I want to do now is live; who cares what happens after I die?

I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me; after I die, I don't care if the world is flooded.

[Niu Jun (Administrator): Good heavens, ten sacrifices! You didn't hold all ten sacrifices for Slaanesh, did you?]

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

If it were Niu Jun who traveled to the Warhammer world...

If he is driven to desperation by the human empire, he will have no choice but to seek refuge with the Four Peddlers.

Niu Jun felt that he would most likely side with Slaanesh.

After all, in that cesspool-like Warhammer universe, dying in pleasure is a kind of happiness.

However, attracting Slaanesh's attention is not an easy task; at the very least, a massive assembly of ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand, people would be required.

Ordinary lust is clearly not enough to attract the attention of a chaotic god.

[Governor of Warhammer Planet: Ahem, please don't misunderstand, sir. I, Rogue, am a respectable man. My main concern is minimizing the cost of the sacrifice to that god of pleasure, and I'm also thinking of the people of Augusta.]

[Governor of Warhammer Planet: Of course, these ten sacrifices aren't just for the Slaanesh. I also captured quite a few prisoners during the previous war with the Greenskins. If things really come to a standstill, we'll have to use these prisoners as sacrifices.]

[Warhammer Planet Governor: Finally, if things truly reach a point where there's no other way, I'll have no choice but to take my men and leave Augusta for now.]

You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

In fact.

Rogge had made three preparations.

The first step was to launch a rebellion directly through the Governor-General's Imperial Guard, kill all the Imperial Tax Collectors who came to collect taxes, and seize the Imperial Household Department's tax collection ships.

As a second option, if the military rebellion fails, they will hold a sacrifice ceremony for Slaanesh and lead the humans of Augusta to join Slaanesh.

The third option was to bury prisoners and condemned prisoners alive and offer sacrifices to Khorne if the rebellion failed and the sacrifice to Slaanesh failed.

What if all three contingency plans fail?
Rogge had no choice but to temporarily abandon the people of Augusta and make a strategic retreat, taking the Governor's Guard with him and temporarily escaping Augusta by spaceship, with the intention of returning later.

In a word.

Time travelers never give up, nor will they close their eyes and wait for death.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West (Administrator): Not bad, not too stupid!]

[Xi You Niu Jun (Administrator): One more question: If you were the Supreme Commander of the Warhammer Imperium, what would you do?]

The human empire in the Warhammer world has many problems.

However, these problems, besides the influence of the four Chaos Gods and alien races, are more importantly rooted in the human empire itself.

Niu Jun was eager to know what his fellow countryman, a transmigrator, would do after becoming the Supreme Commander of the Warhammer Empire.

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: Supreme Commander of the Imperium of Man?]

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: If I were to become the Supreme Commander of the Imperium, I would keep the Emperor pinned to the toilet to keep him occupied with the Chaos Gods, then consolidate our forces, reform our internal affairs, change our systems, vigorously develop technology, strive to break free from Warp technology, and liberate humanity from the influence of the Warp.]

[Governor of Warhammer: Build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king; only by pulling back your fist can you strike more powerfully.]

Roger said with a serious expression.

In fact, Rogge had also fantasized about the question Niu Jun asked many times. He had thought about how he would consolidate power, how he would reorganize internal affairs, how he would better develop the empire, and how he would make humanity even greater, if he were the highest administrative official of the human empire.

pity.

He could only think about these things.

The bloated and corrupt empire filled him with despair; the lower classes had no future to speak of.

Admittedly, in the human empire of the Warhammer universe, there are many mortal heroes and mortal generals, but these mortal generals are only mortal in body; none of them are truly from the lowest rungs of the empire.

The classes and strata of the empire had long been solidified and were far more firmly established than people imagined.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Rogge pessimistically concluded that even if he were placed in the position of the highest administrator of the human empire, or even the emperor, it would be difficult for him to pull the empire back from the brink of collapse.

All he could do was adjust the empire's overall development direction as much as possible, and try his best to get the empire out of the quagmire of war. Even if it meant losing some territory, it would be worth it.

Pulling your fist back is not a sign of weakness or cowardice, but rather a preparation for striking out with greater force.

[Xiyou Niu Jun (Administrator): One last question, what kind of universe do you hope the future Warhammer universe will be? Will it require warp psionic power and the existence of gods?]

Niu Jun declined to comment on Rogge's governing strategies.

After all, everyone can shout slogans, but few can truly put them into practice.

Such a person would be revered as a sage in any world!

Niu Jun didn't know if his fellow countryman who was a transmigrator could really do what he said, but he was very curious about what kind of Warhammer universe the other party wanted.

If the other party is very interested in becoming a god and wants the Warhammer universe to continue to retain warp psionic energy and the existence of gods, he will respect the other party's opinion after his true form descends into the Warhammer universe and do his best to preserve a portion of the extraordinary energy in the Warhammer universe's galaxy.

After all, the Warhammer universe is so vast, it wouldn't matter if he ate one less bite.

But what if the other party doesn't want the existence of warp psionic energy and gods?
Then Niu Jun need not stand on ceremony.

You can now relax and enjoy a delicious meal to your heart's content.

Roger had no idea what Niu Jun was really thinking.

Upon hearing this question, he froze, lost in thought.

Will the future Warhammer universe need warp psionic powers and gods?

Roger really wanted to just say he didn't need it.

But then I think of the emperor, the four Chaos Gods, other deities, the Primarch, the Imperial Guard, and so on in this world.

Their immortality seems to be closely related to warp psionic energy.

Once warp energy is gone, can the technology of the Warhammer world still grant immortality?

So in Rogge's view, Niu Jun's question, which seemed to be asking him to choose the future of the Warhammer universe, was actually asking him if he wanted to become a god and live forever.

After thinking about this, Roger remained silent for a long time before carefully replying.

[Warhammer Planetary Governor: Boss, interstellar travel in the Warhammer universe primarily relies on the warp and psionic coordinates. Therefore, this world doesn't need gods, but it cannot exist without the warp and warp psionic energy.]

The meaning is very simple.

Gods are not necessary.

Warp space and warp psionic energy are indispensable.

As long as warp psionic energy exists, he has a chance to achieve immortality, like the Primarch Vulcan the Salamander, and become immortal!
It's even possible that they could become immortal gods.

[Niu Jun from Journey to the West (Administrator): OK, I understand]

[Niu Jun (Administrator): I've accepted this quest. We can discuss the specifics of the transaction privately.]
