MTLNOVEL Chapter 163: 275
Chapter 275: Warning from the Emperor
The chaos on Terra seemed to be getting worse and worse, and the Imperial Guards even began to lead teams into the Lower Nest to carry out a cleanup.
But I still find that these active cultists can never be killed...
Some hives even appeared in some sacrificial rituals that summoned demons to Terra.
Some aliens and even cunning ones began to take advantage of the chaos to strengthen themselves.
Several squads of Grey Knights were also urgently transferred from Titan to Terra to deal with the increasingly serious Chaos threat.
With Chaos corruption on this scale, there is even a possibility that a great demon will appear.
Fortunately, this situation did not occur. The four gods, who were a little stressed by Gao Yi, did not choose to invest too much of their power in Terra.
Instead, this small-scale, covert sabotage was used to slow down Guilliman's efforts to regain control of the Empire.
The behavior of the Four Gods is even more troublesome than a direct large-scale attack.
The consequences of the traitor appearing in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were more serious than expected. The empire's political affairs came to a standstill for a while, and countless erroneous data triggered a series of chain reactions.
No one expected that Tzeentch's corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would reach this extent.
Many Internal Affairs officials were not even aware that they were helping Chaos. Under Tzeentch's silent guidance over the years, they became accomplices without realizing it. Until they were caught by the Inquisition, they still felt that they were really helping the Empire.
It is not easy to find wrong data from massive amounts of data and documents, and there is no way to prove who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted.
The huge and bloated bureaucratic system has shown its shortcomings at this moment...
When Guilliman went to meet the Emperor, all the Inquisition and the Arbitral Tribunal could do was to capture and kill, and they would rather kill the wrong ones than let anyone go.
Any nobles or even officials involved would be arrested, and the rebels would be ruthlessly suppressed.
Most of those who fell into the hands of the Tribunal and the Ministry of Justice never had the chance to get out again.
The transport plane landed at the Lion's Gate Landing Site. Everyone needed to pass through the Eternal Gate and then walk along the one-mile-long Eternal Avenue to enter the inner hall of the palace.
On both sides of the avenue are famous heroes in the history of the empire, and when you reach the square at the end, there are statues of the primarchs.
Statues of all the primarchs used to be here, but now those of the traitors have been removed.
The relevant history has also been erased, and most people are unaware of this history and the existence of the rebellious Primarch.
Guilliman looked at Gao Yi who was staring at the sculpture on the side.
"Lord Gao Yi, you are now qualified to have a statue of yourself on this road."
"Forget it... It doesn't matter whether it's a statue or not. I care more about something more tangible. Remember the rights you promised me."
"After you meet the Emperor, you will get what you want."
The chaos on Terra at this time prompted all the imperial guards to be dispatched, and tens of thousands of them strictly guarded every corner of the palace.
When everyone arrived in front of the throne room, the three hundred most elite guards were already lined up on both sides.
Looking at the closed palace door, Guilliman looked towards Trajan.
"Trajan, open the gate. Ferrus and I need to see our father."
Trajan nodded, and at his signal the door of the throne room opened.
Just as Guilliman and Ferrus were about to take Gao Yi in.
An imperial envoy said.
"Lord Guilliman, Lord Ferrus, the great Emperor has conveyed an oracle to me. He needs to meet Lord Gao Yi alone. Lord Gao Yi, please wait patiently here."
The words of the imperial guard made the three of them stop in their tracks.
"Good fellow... you're still on guard against me. What... are you trying to say to your own son in secret?"
Gao Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, Gao Yi also looked carefully at the surrounding imperial guards... He didn't have this feeling when he met him in the warp. He was still a little nervous when he really met the Emperor in person...
He checked the remaining psychic crystals and confirmed that there was still enough balance to summon Doom.
He even began to contact the Spear of Adun, which had not come with him, and his own fleet just in case.
Gao Yi was a little worried that the emperor would press him directly onto the golden toilet to sit on it instead of him.
When Gao Yi was still weak, the Emperor might not have had such thoughts, but as Gao Yi's subspace projection became more and more powerful, the amount of subspace energy that could be absorbed and purified also increased.
Although Gao Yi felt that his current value was such that the emperor was unlikely to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, he still had to be on guard against others, so he still prepared for the worst.
The human side of the emperor who is already on the path to becoming a god has become less and less.
Guilliman and Ferrus walked into the throne room.
The heavy door closed.
Guilliman and Ferrus came to the Golden Throne and looked up at the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne.
Countless tubes pierced into his completely dried and decayed body.
The Golden Throne constantly drains the Emperor's psychic energy and life force.
Seeing the Emperor again after ten thousand years, both Guilliman and Ferrus doubted for a moment whether the other was still the same Emperor.
At this time, the mummy-like emperor was constantly emitting a power that did not belong to a human.
A ray of light pierced through the souls of the two men, causing both Guilliman and Ferrus to feel unbearable pain.
"Father..."
Guilliman struggled to open his eyes and looked at the mummy on the Golden Throne.
Ferrus, in his Purifier form, has a keener sense of the Emperor than Guilliman.
Uncontrollable fear rose in the hearts of the two men. The Emperor's condition at this moment even reminded them of the Four Gods of the Warp.
A stream of psychic energy rushed towards the two from the Emperor's mummy.
As the Emperor's psychic power began to influence the consciousness of the two people.
The Emperor's appearance in front of the two men also changed again.
At this moment, in front of the two people, the emperor turned into a collection of countless consciousnesses, and all positive and negative emotions gathered on him.
Only at this moment did Guilliman truly begin to believe that the Emperor was truly on the path to becoming a god.
He tried to find the familiar emperor among these countless wills.
And the figure of the emperor that he once knew appeared among these wills.
At this time, the emperor no longer looked like a mummy, as if he had not yet sat on the golden throne.
This is also thanks to Gao Yi. Gao Yi's previous actions of relieving pressure on the emperor and sharing his faith allowed him to retain more humanity.
Both of them were very excited to see the Emperor again.
Guilliman also began to ask the Emperor what he should do next and who Gao Yi, the person he was concerned about, was.
But the answer he got was beyond his expectations.
The Emperor showed Guilliman and Ferrus Gao Yi's Warp projection...It was hard to associate the Xel'Naga with humans given their appearance.
The Emperor said that the key to saving humanity and the empire is still Gao Yi.
And when Guilliman learned from the Emperor that Gao Yi did not belong to this world at all, he also understood why Gao Yi had so many inexplicable things.
"Are there really other worlds besides ours..."
"Guilliman, it seems that this world is much larger than we imagined. I have also sensed voices from other worlds, and Gao Yi's existence has completely confirmed this conjecture for me."
Guilliman and Ferrus glanced at each other.
The Emperor's next words to Guilliman made Guilliman's expression suddenly become solemn.
Just as Gao Yi once thought, the emperor never had 100% trust in him.
To this world, Gao Yi is still an outsider after all.
Everything Gao Yi is showing now is indeed not harmful to humanity and the empire, but precisely because it is too beyond common sense and too powerful, even the Emperor feels that he cannot control it.
An individual who has no destiny or future in this world has no ties to this world, and human hearts are the most difficult things to guess. Gao Yi's growth rate makes the emperor feel uneasy.
In his eyes, no matter how much Gao Yi said he was doing it for humanity, it was ultimately just one-sided.
The Emperor told Guilliman that Gao Yi could be given more power within the Empire to accelerate its development.
However, we must also be wary of Gao Yi and the forces under his command, and the empire needs to exercise certain supervision over them.
While actively helping Gao Yi achieve technological breakthroughs, Kaul will also learn and master his technology.
Let those key technologies truly be in the hands of the empire.
"I understand...Father..."
The doors to the throne room opened again.
No one knows what the Emperor said to the Primarch.
However, Gao Yi's keen perception sensed that there was some change in the way Guilliman looked at him.
"Lord Gao Yi, my father wants to see you
