After speaking, the Imperial Guard stood there like a statue, just like the regional Imperial Guard, who stood in front of the airdrop pod, waiting for Gu Changqing's reply.

However, Gu Changqing was not as calm as he appeared. His heart was in turmoil, and all sorts of thoughts were flashing through his mind.

Damn it! I've already become an immortal, and I have endless time to accumulate power until I unify the world, so why is it that the very time I just transmigrated is the timeline where the Emperor is about to launch the Great Expedition?

At this moment, Gu Changqing was already sweating profusely, but the imperial guards did not pay any attention to it.

What they didn't know was that the soul inside the man before them was no longer that of the former emperor's son, but a completely new soul that had drifted in from some unknown world.

Whether they cared about this detail or not, Gu Changqing had no time to pay attention to this Imperial Guard at the moment.

His mind was constantly churning with various questions and answers, and the powerful, Primarch-like body gave his thoughts a tremendous boost.

You must know that the Emperor is the most powerful psionicist in the real universe of the battlefield. If Gu Changqing were to meet the Emperor like this, the Emperor would definitely notice that he is different from before.

The Emperor might mistakenly believe he was infected by the four Warhammer Gods and thus personally kill him.

Although Gu Changqing is an immortal being, the Emperor can easily mold a star into a sphere the size of a fist.

With his original form's strength, he couldn't withstand even one move from the Emperor.

Just when it seemed like they were stuck in an unsolvable predicament, Gu Changqing's eyes, which had been lost in thought, suddenly brightened!

He's got it!

Although the risks are high, this might be the only way! But right now, we need to deal with the immediate situation...

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing's gaze returned to its previous calmness. Without making any movement, he simply spoke slowly to the imperial guards in front of him:

“Yes, for the glory of humanity, I will follow you to Terra. However, I need to stay here for a few days. After all, once the expedition begins, we may never be able to return to this homeland!”

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards did not refuse. After all, it was only a few days, and besides, Gu Changqing was the emperor's son. Let alone a few days, even if it were several months, they could only wait.

Without a word, the Imperial Guard silently walked back to the airdrop pod that had smashed a crater in the ground, then closed the pod door and waited for Gu Changqing's arrival.

Only after the Imperial Guards had completely disappeared from sight did Gu Changqing immediately turn his head away, large beads of sweat dripping from his head, his chest heaving.

"Finally...finally I got away with it!"

With a long sigh of relief, Gu Changqing, whose mood had calmed down somewhat, murmured to herself before quickly walking towards her residence in the manor, far from the area.

The beautiful scenery along the way could no longer attract Gu Changqing's attention or make him slow down.

All he wanted to do was get back to his residence as soon as possible and refine and implement the plan that had just come to mind.

...

Chapter Two

After returning to his original dwelling, which resembled an old-fashioned bungalow, he hurriedly locked the modified black high-security door and rushed to the secret room from his memory.

Arriving at the dark gray iron door of the secret room, Gu Changqing looked at the old combination lock next to it, which was covered in dust, and quickly pressed the numbers he remembered.

After pressing the green confirmation button, Gu Changqing anxiously waited for the iron gate lock to open.

As time went by, Gu Changqing became increasingly uneasy. After all, the combination lock on this iron door was a creation from thousands of years ago, and it was not impossible that its internal structure was damaged.

Moreover, its iron gate and the entire secret chamber were made using advanced technology produced by the Cult of Machines, which even his original body's strength could not break through.

"Hurry up and start it! Give the machine some power!"

Gu Changqing looked at the combination lock that remained completely still and couldn't help but utter a slightly anxious sound.

After an unknown amount of time, as if in response to Gu Changqing's prayer, the lock on the door, which had stood for a thousand years, clicked.

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. After silently cursing the machine, he made no unnecessary movements, grabbed the doorknob with his left hand, and reopened the iron door of the secret chamber that had been sealed for thousands of years.

The moment the iron gate opened, a pungent smell wafted into Gu Changqing's nostrils, causing even him to wrinkle his brow.

Fortunately, the powerful body quickly adapted to the smell, which could kill a mortal instantly if inhaled.

After entering the secret room and closing the iron door, the room briefly regained light for a few seconds before returning to complete darkness.

Fortunately, Gu Changqing was the original body, so even in complete darkness, he could clearly see everything around him.

Inside the secret room, besides the smooth, mirror-like gray walls, there was only a small red wooden box in the center.

This is Gu Changqing's goal, and it is also an essential first step in his plan.

"A fragment of the Great Demon Khorne's body?"

In the darkness, Gu Changqing stared at the wooden box, which looked like blood, and muttered to himself.

In my memory, this wooden box contained a part of the body of the great demon Khorne, who had killed my original mother. The original owner had placed it here so that one day I could finally kill this great demon and avenge my mother.

However, as a subordinate of Khorne, the God of Blood and one of the four evil gods of the Warhammer universe, this great demon's strength is naturally comparable to that of the Primarch.
