Hyperion, but in Warhammer 40K

Of course, he might be a bit old, but with Zhou Ye's skills, this wouldn't be a big problem. As long as the capacity was large enough and there was no genetic rejection, it would be fine.

At this time, more than 100,000 students gathered in the Law School. They all knelt and prayed devoutly, because among them were hearses.

While their Law Academy had provided Space Marines before, they felt it was lacking without their own core Astartes. And just recently, the great Lord of Pathfinder had assigned the Night Lords to them.

Now, some of their first batch of graduates have gloriously returned to the Golden Throne or to the embrace of the Lord of Pioneers.

Now, along with several coffins, melodious and ancient hymns were heard.

Glory, forever burning.

Courage lights up the sky and the earth.

……

We wait for you, we sing for you.

Come back, my friend, come back, hero.

Again, again, burning.

For family, for hometown, for glory.

Are you still courageous?

Remember the names of heroes and follow them.

Once again, onto the battlefield.

……

As the coffin slowly passed through the campus, accompanied by ancient ballads, sadness, honor, and excitement filled the entire campus.

At this moment, all the students were eager to follow their seniors and step onto the glorious battlefield. They would fight a life-or-death battle against evil and heresy, uphold justice and fairness in their hearts, and finally return to the Lord of Development.

At this moment, in the shadows of the academy, Konrad Coze was staring at the scene in front of him in amazement. There was a little glimmer in his eyes. He already knew that Zhou Ye had directly assigned this academy to the Midnight Lords.

This will become the main force of his legion in the future. Even if ten thousand years have passed, Koz suddenly felt his blood boiling at this moment, and his heart, which had long been dead, trembled again.

As for the traditional skills of the Night Lords, he had never taught them to these new Night Lords. The main reason was that looking at these new students made him feel ashamed.

"The Night Lords are a thing of the past. I need a new name."

At this moment, Koz was also muttering to himself, and then he received a message from Zhou Ye.

"Come quickly, meeting!!!"

Looking at the Primarch's special mobile phone in his hand, Koz turned around and left the academy.

……

"So now there are thirty-five worlds?"

Looking at his tablet, Zhou Ye couldn't help but cover his eyes.

"Three Category II worlds have been discovered, and two Category III worlds have declared direct allegiance to you."

"My head hurts..."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye couldn't help but rub his forehead. He divided his world into three levels.

One type of world is a clean planet. It's not necessarily a paradise world, nor is it necessarily a wild world. It's a planet that has no human beings at all. This type of planet can be directly occupied.

Thirty Worlds are basically all of this type, and it's also Zhou Ye's favorite. Less trouble, easier to manage.

The second type of worlds are those lost worlds. Undiscovered by the Empire, they have developed independently. The people from above have ended up here for various reasons, but that's not so bad. After all, they're isolated from the outside world, and many of them are still relatively primitive societies.

The population is sparse, and it can survive even without contact with the outside world. This means that this is also a very valuable planet, and it can be simply cleaned up when the time comes.

The third type of world is the world that belongs to the Empire. These worlds are standard Imperial worlds, of course not Hive Worlds. Zhou Ye would never touch this thing, it would be too troublesome.

Even if I get it, I need to clean it up and down many times, which is very troublesome. For example, Quint and Estia.

Therefore, the three types of worlds are generally agricultural worlds, feudal worlds, and primitive worlds.

"The second-type world is fine, but what about the two third-type worlds?"

Zhou Ye asked speechlessly after hearing this. In fact, he usually doesn't even touch the third type of world.

"An agricultural world and a water world. They provide a large amount of food, salt, and seafood to the local area. If there is a major problem with these two worlds, the entire planet will fall into a terrible famine."

"Where are the people above them?"

"These two planets didn't have many people to begin with, and they were both ravaged by cults and demons. And because there weren't many people there, sacrifices couldn't yield anything ridiculous. When we found them, they were already in a state of collapse, so worlds like these are extremely valuable."

"Good! My merchants accepted them. I doubt they forced the planetary governors to agree. Worlds like these are required to pay tithes, but never mind. It's not a big deal."

This was also a cumbersome matter. The three types of worlds were required to pay taxes. It wasn't that Zhou Ye had to pay, but rather that he simply didn't want to confront the empire head-on. Besides, the tithe itself wasn't much. Ordinary planets, due to limited transportation, could only store their supplies. The empire also needed resources.

Tax collection often leads to problems like this, and the risk resistance of individual planets is extremely poor. It is easy for problems on one or two planets to cause a chain reaction of vicious reactions, but this is not a problem in Zhou Ye's hands.

As soon as their output comes out, it will be immediately taken away for circulation. It will be exchanged for other resources. As for the tithe, it is not a problem. Just keep a record first, and then operate it casually, and you can quickly make up the difference.

He had already managed the tithes for at least a hundred worlds, and his merchant fleet now enjoyed a strong reputation in his local sector. Even the Ministry of the Interior was amazed at how well the tithes were paid in this sector... So paying the tithes on behalf of others wasn't a big issue, and of course, not paying them wasn't a big deal either.

"Okay, after all, it's the agricultural world and the aquatic products world."

Zhou Ye said nothing more about this. Of course, don't think that the agricultural world is a good place. The ecology of that planet itself has been destroyed, and the crops growing on the earth are as big as high-rise buildings.

The land is filled with various pesticide compounds, and if a person is exposed to the air without protection, they will not survive for long. And this is based on the physical fitness of 40K supermen, not the weak chickens of 3K.

But food and salt are very important commodities, and indeed these two planets can bring huge profits.

Just as Zhou Ye was frantically handling government affairs, a dark shadow flashed outside and Koz walked in. However, the latter was also stunned when he saw the wall composed of hundreds of screens in front of Zhou Ye.

Each screen contained different content, and just glancing at it made his scalp tingle. He saw all sorts of documents, so densely packed that he couldn't help but tremble.

Zhou Ye wasn't always this busy, but the war had just ended. Furthermore, due to the opening of the Great Rift, his star sector was right next to the empire's sacred territory. Therefore, the impact was enormous, and it could be said that fires were everywhere.

Zhou Ye couldn't just ignore it. If chaos broke out in these places, one or two would be fine, but if there were too many, it would break the star tracks that had been laid with great effort.

Only Zhou Ye can make the final decision on many things, so he is really busy for the time being.

"Go ahead. I won't say any more polite words."

After casually smashing the bouncing desk with a punch, Zhou Ye's face showed a hint of relief. To be honest, seeing Zhou Ye in this state, Koz didn't know why he felt a little scared.

"You see what you want to do. I don't keep idle people here. Now choose a job for me."

Looking at Koze in front of him, Zhou Ye said nonchalantly. In his eyes, everything is cattle and horses. He even considered whether to bring in a group of cunning people and then use imaginary numbers to clean them out. After all, the Great Devourer's control over them is also a kind of psychic control.

There were even some cunning individuals who had escaped the control of the Great Devourer, and even some who believed in demons. For example, Zhou Ye encountered some worlds plagued by cunning individuals, and his wandering traders gave the planetary governor a very melodramatic and abstract method.

Infect a group of thieves with Chaos in an orderly manner, then close the middle nest and throw them over. Then the thieves will start a vigorous civil war. At this time, the planetary governor only needs to attack once reasonably to ensure the balance of power between the two sides.

Those who make it to the position of Planetary Governor are practically useless. They may not be very good at communicating with the outside world, but they are masters of keeping things balanced. Several planets use this method to prevent thieves, and it has proven to be quite effective.

Just as chickens are treated like cattle and horses, so too is a Primarch this big. Seeing that Curze was in much better spirits, Zhou Ye decided to get him moving quickly.

The first batch of Night Lords had already been trained, so he didn't need to lead them personally. Speaking of which, if Zhou Ye remembered correctly, this guy hadn't actually taught them the traditional skills of the Night Lords. Although he had prepared a large imaginary force, if this guy dared to teach him, he would just use a large force to shoot through the air.

"Night Lords is not a good name."

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ye tilted his head and looked at Konrad Coates. It seemed that he had come up with this name himself. If Zhou Ye remembered correctly, the Midnight Lord didn't seem to be called this at first, and he had completely forgotten what it was called.

"Whatever you want, change your name if you want. And I have to remind you, they won't just follow you."

"It doesn't matter."

"What name do you want to change?"

"What do you say?"

"kindness?"

"You must have done something to their gene-seed, so you decided to call it whatever you wanted."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye fell into deep thought. He had indeed added some spice. Because this thing was nicknamed Batman, Zhou Ye also added a lot of ramblings. Adding the issue of very high-quality troops, it complemented his ramblings.

In that case...

Dark Knight.

Finally, Koz left with a satisfied look on his face. He was also Zhou Ye's next position: the Chief Justice, the Grand Inquisitor of his world.

Of course, that's a matter for the future. Right now, Coze needs to go to the Law School and learn. His original path was too wild, and Zhou Ye was worried. Of course, it wasn't just him; the surviving bat cubs needed it too.

They were all temporarily recruited by Zhou Ye, and they also needed to complete their original studies. However, it was not a big problem. Asta was particularly strong, and their learning ability was also very strong.

PS: The first chapter is done.

129

Chapter 129 Zhou Ye always felt that he was a beast.

"Huh, finally done. I'll leave the rest of Klein's execution to you guys. Huh, I'm exhausted. Did I forget something? Oh, where's Ahriman?"

After finally finishing the job, Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something. He had forgotten Ahriman, the ultimate killer. There was nothing he could do. There were simply too many things to do.

And this guy is too quiet, he doesn't do anything bad to himself.

"Captain, Ahriman was hung up and beaten by his own brothers."

After hearing Zhou Ye's words, Aijiang's joyful voice also rang out.

"what?"

Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a little confused.

"They saw the blasphemous symbols on their bodies and knew what Ahriman had done. Many of them were actually unaware of what had happened and remained loyal to the Golden Throne."

"Pfft..."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye almost laughed out loud. The world was truly abstract. Who would have thought that Ahriman would now become the chosen champion of Tzeentch? Not being beaten to death by his brothers was pretty good, so where were the others?

"It's been half a month, where are they?"

The beating has been going on for almost two days. It is impossible that they have continued until now.

"He bought a piece of land and is growing grapes."

"I'm still thinking about growing grapes with that clever Magnus. Let me think... Never mind. Let him take all the Chaos Blessings. Make arrangements for the other Thousand Sons and have them become professors in various schools. And while you're at it, see if there are any with gene-seeds. I'll put them in the schools when I get back."

He had secretly added ingredients to these Thousand Sons. The Thousand Sons led by Ahriman were not tainted by Chaos. They also had basically no psychic powers, so Zhou Ye simply recruited them. Now he just felt that he was too smart. Everything was just cattle and horses.

Chaos and the Traitor were no less powerful than the beasts of burden, and as for Ahriman, he hadn't touched him. Giving him extra fuel was too much of a drain, there was no point. Anyway, if he dared to do anything awful, he'd definitely finish him off with a single, imaginary blow.

The main thing was that this guy was covered in Chaos Blessings, although he himself didn't believe it at all. Moreover, Tzeentch gave him a very subtle feeling, but Zhou Ye still thought he should observe this guy first.

After all, it was well known that everyone in the Thousand Sons, from the Primarch to their Space Marines, was extremely intelligent, possessing a wealth of knowledge but appearing to be less intelligent.

Among them are Magnus, the smartest man in the universe, and his eldest son, Ahriman, the second smartest man in the universe.

"Ai-chan, have someone bring me some chicken thieves. I'm planning to do some experiments."

After looking at the report in his hand with a headache, Zhou Ye decided to make a bold attempt. That is to see if he can contaminate some chicken thieves and then throw them into the newly opened forging world.

After all, before Tyrann arrived, Ji Zei was a model worker. So Bu Zhou Ye decided to try and see if he could use imaginary numbers to cleanse it and rebuild its genes. This would ensure it wouldn't produce pure-blooded Ji Zei, and then block the Great Devourer. These were all meaningless beasts of burden.

After all, the environment on the latest Forge World is extremely harsh. If it were the Empire, the Gear Boys would probably just find a planet that couldn't pay the tithe, transform billions of people from their world into servitors, and throw them all on it.

But these ordinary people are not very good, but the thieves are very good. These things are really durable, so he plans to throw them up and give it a try.

After all, as his worlds grew, one Forge World simply wasn't enough. He needed more Forge Worlds to satisfy the massive demands of himself and the surrounding worlds. Being cunning was truly useful.

……

Svartalfheim 1, Zhou Ye's forge world. It was also the first mining world he discovered. The warp here was exceptionally stable. There were no Mandeville points at all, making it an undiscovered world for the Empire.

It was here that he mined crazily and pieced together the first Emperor Titan.

Now this world has become one of the forty worlds supporting Zhou Ye, and at the same time provides abundant supplies to the forty worlds.

Because this world has rich mineral resources, what Zhou Ye originally dug was not enough compared to the entire planet.

Named after the world where the dwarves in Norse mythology live, it is also the richest world besides Pioneer Star.

After all, Pioneer Star is a political, economic and cultural center, and this place is undoubtedly an industrial center.

This place is different from Zhou Ye's other worlds. Flames and lava flow across the entire planet. That is the blood of Om Messiah and the wrath of the Lord of Exploration.

Now this is the Mechanicus that completely obeys Zhou Ye. Except for the Grand Sage and several other important positions who are artificial humans directly created by Zhou Ye, most of the other technical priests are originally humans.

When Zhou Ye first arrived in Estia, he had a grand academic exchange with a group of black oil men. The results of that academic exchange were meaningful.
