MTLNOVEL Chapter 164: 276
Chapter 276 Hello, Lord Gao, Gao Yi
With a heavy heart, Gao Yi also stepped into the throne room.
Anyone who witnessed the Emperor's condition at this time would find it hard to imagine how an individual could endure such torture for tens of thousands of years.
The "torture instruments" that made the Blood Orcs sigh were torturing the Emperor's body and will every moment.
With the Emperor's devotion, Gao Yi even felt that the emergence of a state religion was almost inevitable. Even if the Primarchs did not fall asleep one by one, the state religion would appear in another form.
What made Gao Yi feel relieved was that the worst result he had expected did not happen, and the emperor had no intention of putting him on the Golden Throne.
When facing Gao Yi, the Emperor did not show his Warp side as he did when facing Guilliman and Ferrus.
The two had already seen each other's true nature in the subspace, and it could even be said that they understood each other's special form of existence better than anyone else.
Gao Yi could feel a power belonging to the emperor descending upon him.
This force seemed to be trying to see his body clearly from the inside out.
The psychic power belonging to the Emperor is sweeping through every cell of Gao Yi.
For the Emperor, the two had never met in the real universe. Regardless of whether Gao Yi had other purposes, he had to first ensure one thing: whether Gao Yi was a human being.
As this power left Gao Yi's body, the Emperor, who obviously understood the nature of human beings more thoroughly than anyone else, confirmed Gao Yi's identity as a human.
The subsequent conversation between the two did not involve the Emperor trying to ask him about his secrets as Gao Yi had imagined. Instead, he asked about what the world Gao Yi lived in was like.
The conversation between the two was more like a casual chat, and the emperor was full of curiosity about Gao Yi, the outsider.
Gao Yi even took out several nano-healing guns to try to repair the Emperor's body.
However, the healing gun enhanced by the system did not help the emperor's body.
The constant drain and supernatural damage from the Warp is not physically repairable.
"I will let Guilliman and Ferrus help you. I hope you can really help the people of this world get rid of their suffering. This world is more dangerous than you think, and those Necrontyr are becoming more and more active in the galaxy.
The Empire's enemies have never been just Chaos. In addition to fighting dangers from within the Milky Way, it also needs to guard against threats from outside the Milky Way."
"Extragalactic threat? Tyranids?"
"It's not just them. The rebellion of the Gold Man, Iron Man, Stone Man and Iron Man, as the Empire is talking about now, did not destroy all of them. Some of them escaped. No one knows how far those who left the Milky Way have developed in these years, and no one knows when they will come back, and what their attitude is towards today's humans.
Are all the ancient saints dead?
Your arrival will bring unexpected changes to this world, and may even focus the attention of various beings on the galaxy. If you were in my shoes, would you allow an existence or civilization to grow to the point where it could threaten you?"
"I see."
The Emperor's warning did make Gao Yi feel a little heavy. The current empire was still limited to the Milky Way. The Tyranids and the Silent King who had exiled himself for 60 million years represented that the world was not just this big.
When the door of the throne hall opened again, everyone's eyes were on Gao Yi. In less than an hour, Gao Yi walked out.
And no one took the initiative to ask about the content of Gao Yi's conversation with the Emperor.
"Lord Gao Yi, Ferrus and I are going to gather the high lords. The unrest outside is getting worse... I must quell this riot as soon as possible. When the meeting is over, the parliament will grant you greater power."
"I hope everything goes well for you. Kaul and Pavian's research should have made some progress. I will hand over the government affairs platform to you as soon as possible. I believe these things will be of great help in your subsequent reforms."
Gao Yi didn't know how Guilliman and Ferrus were going to solve the problem of the High Lords, but as the meeting was held.
A shift in power soon occurred among the High Lords.
Most of the High Lords chose to unconditionally support the leadership of the Primarch.
The Assassins' Court and the Inquisition have become more active on Terra than ever before.
The chaos from Chaos was obviously eased a lot after Guilliman took over the command, but the evil god was obviously determined to make trouble for the Empire.
Over tens of thousands of years, the Four Gods have developed more followers in Terra than imagined, and no matter how much effort is put into clearing them out, they cannot be killed all.
However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already proven to be rotten, so Guilliman did not hesitate to raise his butcher knife.
Tzeentch has almost infiltrated the Ministry of Internal Affairs into a hornet's nest. We were originally worried about whether it would affect the operation of the empire.
As it is now impossible to rectify the situation using conventional means, we have to kill them.
Guilliman loaned those artificial Untouchables and Night Sentinels to Gao Yi. They all had the ability to sense the power of Chaos and were used to screen those affected by Chaos.
Because of the chaos in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irtu was directly removed from his position as High Lord by Guilliman and imprisoned.
The subsequent fate of these high lords is no longer Gao Yi's concern.
The second high lord to be brought down was Kanya, the spokesperson for the Rogue Traders.
Kania never thought that she would be the second one... and the fact was that she should not be the second one to be sanctioned. Her quick resignation was purely because Guilliman made room for Gao Yi.
In the name of the Emperor, Guilliman directly sent Gao Yi to this position.
It was only at this moment that other people in the empire truly understood the importance of Gao Yi.
However, Gao Yi was still somewhat resistant to this. Handling government affairs was not something he was good at nor did he want to do. He did not want to experience the miserable life of the high lords.
Guilliman had made arrangements for him in advance, as he knew that Gao Yi had more important things to do.
He was seeking protection and blessing of power for Gao Yi. While Gao Yi was enjoying the protection and benefits of this power, he would also arrange people to solve government affairs problems.
He needed Gao Yi to have more time to provide the empire with a steady supply of powerful technology.
It has to be said that this made Gao Yi very satisfied, as this was exactly what he was doing.
In addition to this position of marginal high lord, Gao Yi also has a new identity, which is the first time in the history of high lords.
The Kronus Expanse was officially incorporated into the empire's territory from a region outside the empire.
The Kronus Star Sector was officially established, and Gao Yi was appointed as the governor of the sector. Now Gao Yi can mobilize all imperial forces within the expanded zone at the official level.
The Kronus Expansion Area was also directly marked as special tax exemption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' database.
While enjoying the privileges of an official star zone, Gao Yi does not have to worry about taxes affecting the development of the planets under his jurisdiction. The tithe is too heavy a burden for a planet.
Not only the area was expanded, but the Malfi Sector within the Calixis Sector was also incorporated under Gao Yi's command.
The number and size of the two planets combined are unmatched by any other empire sector.
However, after obtaining the identity of the high lord, Gao Yi still needs to bear some responsibilities.
This high lord was also responsible for trade within the Empire. He didn't care how much Gao Yi sold his combat uniforms for to other forces in the Empire. All he needed Gao Yi to do was to provide Guilliman with a large number of combat uniforms at a low price to arm the Empire's soldiers.
The Empire will provide Gao Yi with a large amount of alloys needed for manufacturing.
How could Gao Yi refuse such a good thing? Guilliman provided the materials, leaving Gao Yi with only time left.
Although the profit per piece is lower, the total price has even increased significantly.
When Guilliman saw the offer Gao Yi had given him, he felt a little regretful. He should have lowered the price a little and even wrote "buy 5 get 1 free" on the offer.
But Guilliman also had his own request, which was that he wanted to send some people to participate in the government affairs of the expansion zone.
Gao Yi also understood what Guilliman meant. The Emperor had obviously told Guilliman some secrets.
This is surveillance of it.
Gao Yi did not refuse. Overt surveillance was always better than the other party's secret investigation, and Gao Yi had nothing to hide.
The other party will never be able to access secrets and technologies that cannot be revealed.
The news that Gao Yi became a high lord was also sent back to the expansion area. After hearing this news, the alliance members knew that this wave was completely right! Everyone is going to get rich
