Warhammer 40 Unorthodox Primarch

These Astartes were incredibly weak; even Li Taiji felt that ordinary battle groups could easily crush them.

To be specific, these people simply lack what Astartes possessed—faith and soul!

Li Taiji walked up to these nobles, his imposing height inspiring awe and reverence in them.

"You've been listening to your nonsense for so long just to find an excuse! I want to find an excuse to wipe out all of you worms! Using your filthy bodies and souls to gain the approval of the people of Collins World, this deal is too good to pass up..." Li Taiji said with a smile.

"That's not how it is! We're just talking to you on behalf of the High Lords Council! We're not trying to be your enemy! That's not in line with the rules between Imperial nobles..." Collins continued to explain.

"Wrong! I am not a nobleman! If you insist on an identity, you can call me a god! Let's begin! Purify this world!" Li Taiji said.

"Holy crap! Dad! I'm speechless! What kind of monsters are these? They're so damn weak! Are they some kind of cheap knockoffs? They don't even need psionic power, they could just smash them to death with their bare hands! They're like canned goods..." Lin Dafu complained.

"An Astartes who hasn't experienced blood and fire, who hasn't experienced the glory and faith of the legion, is nothing! At most, he's just a stronger bodyguard, with a body but an empty soul, reduced from a warrior to a slave..." Li Taiji said.

"Dad! That's too formal. These people are just bastards, aren't they? They'll sell anything to make a living, even their asses! I just don't know whose son produced such a pile of garbage..." Lin Dafa said with a sneer.

"Hehe, it's definitely not mine! Because I never handed over any genetic seeds!" Li Taiji said with a sneer.

"Hehehe! No problem! We were right to take him down from the start! Where are the Blood Raven Legion members? Why haven't they landed yet?" Lin Dafu was looking for people; he wanted to raid their base and get some good stuff, but the others were much more professional than him...

Collins discovered too many nobles, from Terra and from the Chaos-occupied territories, who lacked any sense of loyalty and instead adhered to a set of noble rules.

In Collins, all anyone knows is how to enjoy themselves, and you can have anything! Eldar! Orcs! Even some Chaos-corrupted creatures—some of them are even more damn Slaanesh than the Slaanesh!

These nobles, while listening to the emperor's wise words, are also running rampant and committing atrocities here; this is another form of corruption...

The People's Guardians summoned everyone on the world of Collins, including those from other sub-stars, and delivered a live verdict on their crimes! They also revealed the chaotic and corrupt state of the world to the public.

And they directly targeted the Highlord Council! They even announced that they had assassinated an Imperial Primarch…

It was a mix of truth and falsehood, and even contained some sand! Suddenly, "imperial noble" became a derogatory term.

The golden psionic fire purified everything about them, including their sins. But what if it could withstand the fire? Would it spare them?

Don't be naive. At worst, we'll just add more fires! Burning them one by one is just giving people an outlet for their emotions. Collins is a civilized world, yet it has been suppressed by darkness for so long! If this isn't handled properly, it will become a breeding ground for corruption.

If people were living in hell, would they care who gave them their power? Would they care about loyalty? It makes no sense!

The cries of nobles, the pronouncements of their families—all were meticulously recorded, to be dragged out and bled dry once they arrived in Terra! Whether they went to Terra to pay homage or marched directly there, there would always be a chance to meet them…

In reality, this intelligence was a test by the Imperial Guards of Li Taiji, probing his attitude and loyalty, and seeing how Li Taiji would choose when faced with the behemoth that was the High Lord Council. This also involved a lot of cooperation.

After all, the Imperial Guard on Terra is a force to be reckoned with, and they are only loyal to the Emperor!

The Blood Ravens were quite busy; they quickly searched for everything of value, completely uprooting the Collins nobility.

The threat of nobility in the world of Collins is powerful, but it is all based on respect for the High Lords Council, that is, operating according to their system.

If the opponent overturns the table, they don't have absolute fighting power; they're just chickens and dogs. This kind of thinking also represents the characteristics of the High Lords Council: as long as it's in the name of the Emperor, everything is invincible!

But Li Taiji was practically an emperor himself, so what they said carried more weight than what Li Taiji said.

Among the rescued people, a little girl caught Li Taiji's attention. This little girl had very strong spiritual energy, judging from the fluctuations, at least at the Alpha level, which means she had the spiritual energy of a planet destroyer.

But those clear, large eyes remained fixed on the imperial statue around his neck, praying without any impurities or emotional fluctuations, peaceful and pure...

"Dad! This little girl is amazing, I don't think I can compare to her..." Lin Dafa said sourly as he looked at the little girl.

"Holy crap! Don't even mention you! I can't even mobilize my spiritual energy as much as she can. I'm just passively receiving it... I bet this is another aunt that the Emperor arranged for me! She's the Emperor's chosen one! The Emperor can possess this little girl's body..." Li Taiji said.

"Huh? An old man possessing a little girl? Holy crap! Shameless old man..." Before Lin Dafa could finish speaking, he was sent flying by a psionic flick to the head, and the little girl's eyes changed.

It became ancient, majestic, and profound, with a pair of golden eyes that exuded endless majesty.

"You brat! Don't talk nonsense! Take good care of this little girl, she is the key to your control of the state religion! I will use this little girl to invoke my will and instruct the state religion to support you! If you want to change this world, you have to use others' strength instead of brute force..." the emperor said righteously.

However, this majesty lost its otherworldly feel when embodied by a little girl.

"I suddenly discovered a secret, or rather, a fact..." Li Taiji said to the little girl possessed by the Emperor, stroking his chin.

"What do you mean?" the Emperor asked.

"That grandson of Luo Jia is too wicked. He's not loyal at all. He's such a good actor. Like the Highlord Council, he's been using the guise of loyalty to scheme for his own benefit from the very beginning. If he were truly loyal to you, the destruction of the Ideal City wouldn't matter. He should think you were right. But this guy switched sides to Chaos because there's no profit to be made here."

"Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty! So the state religion is actually a tool at its core! Luo Jia is truly a sophisticated egoist!" Li Taiji said.

"Heh, that's not important anymore. Protecting this child will help you..."
