Chapter 365, Golden Light Enters Dream
The power of the Warp is endless, and the Warp is also "generous". If someone needs the power of the Warp, it will give it without hesitation.
But the premise of everything is that this "person" must be his own "person", that is, he must possess the essence of subspace.
The essence of the subspace can be understood as a kind of "authority". The amount of subspace power one is qualified to mobilize depends on the size of the authority.
As for the source of 'authority', there are many different sources.
Psykers do not exist in the subspace essence. They are essentially uncontrollable channels, loopholes for the power of the subspace to leak into the real world, which is a disaster for the real world. It was not until the Emperor established the Psychic Network that this power could be controlled.
But the original products of the subspace are completely different. They have the essence of the subspace, and the power they can mobilize belongs to themselves, but it is precisely because of the essence of the subspace that they will be rejected by the real universe, and under normal circumstances they cannot pass through the reality veil.
Demons are of course also native products of the Warp, but generally speaking, the Warp creatures that are called demons are specific and are born from the will of some great beings. Even powerful beings like the Great Unclean Ones are essentially the same.
The Storm Kingdom owned by Gu Hang is different. It does not rely on a great existence, but grows from the subspace. Its essence is due to similar and unified turbulence in the soul sea of the subspace. Then, due to various reasons, it was twisted and changed into its current appearance, giving birth to secondary gods such as the original angry owl. Now the essence of this subspace is controlled by Gu Hang again.
During this process, the trust of the people of the Alliance in Gu Hang also caused some ripples in the soul sea of the subspace, and finally manifested itself in the Kingdom of Storms, allowing the Kingdom of Storms to grow somewhat in the past few years.
But the overall growth is not large.
With a population of 500 million under the Alliance, the waves that can be created are relatively limited; and, while it is true that the people under the Alliance trust their governors, in terms of religion, they generally still maintain their faith in the Emperor. These two things themselves are not in conflict, it’s just that the increase brought to the Kingdom of Storms is not that exaggerated.
Gu Hang had no intention of changing this situation.
Why change?
It’s nice to take shelter under a big tree. I’m a loyal citizen of the empire!
It's good just like this.
However, since you enjoy the benefits of the imperial system, you must bear the corresponding price.
But didn't Gowaga, the unclean one, come to our doorstep?
Swallowing it is equivalent to swallowing the part of the subspace essence owned by Govaga, which means having more "authority". The scale of the Storm Kingdom may be able to expand to two or three times its original size with this opportunity.
This is where the harvest comes from.
But soon, something happened that directly shattered Gu Hang's fantasy.
It was even like pouring a bucket of cold water directly on his head.
Somewhere in the dark, he felt a gaze full of "loving" looking towards his kingdom of God from a very far distance.
The gaze was so far away, as if it was at the other end of the boundless subspace; but the feeling of being watched was so clear that it was impossible to ignore it.
Gu Hang couldn't help but tremble.
It was not that he was afraid, but when the gaze arrived, his soul sensed the threat and his kingdom of God trembled.
It's like seeing a mountain collapsing before your eyes, pressing down on you, but you have no way to escape and nowhere to hide.
Gu Hang knew what this was.
This is the gaze of the loving father.
He is one of the four beings that cannot be ignored in the endless subspace.
It was not until this time that Gu Hang realized that he was in trouble.
Great Demon, what level of thing is this?
Even in the eyes of that kind father, a big demon is definitely considered to be a big deal.
He just disappeared for "no reason" and was imprisoned in the Kingdom of Storm God. It doesn't seem incomprehensible that he would look here with some concern.
But this glance was somewhat fatal to Gu Hang.
It's okay if you're just looked at. It's scary, but if you're glared at, you won't be doomed.
But who can ignore the message behind this?
He was being targeted by the Kind Father, one of the four great gods in the subspace.
Even if he didn't come himself - his tiny place was not worthy of a loving father to come personally... right?
But even if he doesn't do it himself, this stage will be quite difficult.
Isn't it normal to send two or three big demons?
To deal with one Gewajia, Gu Hang had already exhausted all his energy and strength, and he had to use some tricks to do it. If there were multiple of them coming at once, how would he stop them?
It's impossible to resist.
Thinking of this, Gu Hang's expression became unusually serious.
But if you ask him whether he regrets it or not, the answer is no.
How could he let Govaga go? Compared to the slightly curious gaze of a loving father, Govaga was a challenge that needed to be faced directly. If he let this guy's subspace essence run away, in a few years, he would rebuild his soul and body and return to his peak.
Perhaps, that so-called peak is not enough for him to stir up trouble in the real world, but in the subspace, he can definitely show his power as a great demon.
By then, the Great Unclean Ones of the Storm Kingdom, who had long remembered him with great hatred, would definitely come to seek revenge. Moreover, with it prepared, they would definitely not come alone.
When the time comes, what will Gu Hang use to stop it?
There's no way to stop it.
To strike him while he's weak, we must do so when Gowaga is trapped between the veil of reality and the Kingdom of Storms, his body and soul destroyed by naval guns, he loses all his strength, and only has the essence of the subspace left, then we must completely crush him to ashes, that would be the most reliable option.
What a pity is that he has a father behind him.
There is nothing we can do about it.
It would be wrong to say that Gu Hang had not thought of this possibility beforehand.
But on the one hand, he was hoping for luck, and on the other hand, he had no other choice.
It was nothing more than releasing him, and then waiting for Gowaga to recover before raising his Storm Kingdom;
Or now, being targeted by the benevolent father, and then waiting for the benevolent father to come to the door and destroy the Kingdom of Storm God.
Anyway, once this situation is triggered, the Kingdom of Storm God will never be able to be saved.
Gu Hang had a cold face, and many thoughts were running through his mind.
One plan after another took shape in his mind.
There are thoughts of resistance, but there are also thoughts of cutting off the tail and surviving when the momentum is wrong.
If we really can't protect the Kingdom of Storm God, then we can just give it up.
The nature of the subspace of the Kingdom of Storms was indeed controlled by Gu Hang, but not Gu Hang himself. If he destroyed this place, he would lose a very useful means and trump card, which was a pity, but it would not affect his career in the real world.
Could a loving father go to the real world and kill himself?
It's not that easy.
It just means that I will be missing a means in the future and won’t be able to use the Kingdom of Storms.
It's a pity and it hurts a lot, but it's not completely unacceptable.
Gu Hang was thinking so, but suddenly, some new changes occurred.
His eyes blurred and he seemed to see a violent golden flash.
A cold sun rose as if in the warp, and a biting cold wind blew.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Hang seemed to hear an angry roar, shaking the entire subspace.
It seemed to come from a loving father.
But he was not curious, did not hesitate, and decisively withdrew all his perceptions.
It seems like something serious has happened, so I quickly got away to avoid getting covered in blood.
But this so-called big event did not last long after all.
Soon, when Gu Hang plucked up his courage and extended his perception through the Kingdom of Storm God, he found that it was calm outside.
Even, it was a little too calm.
Malicious look?
That’s all.
The surging waves of the warp?
Calmed down.
Kind father?
Uh... the kind father is still there, still occupying an important position in the vast and unobstructed subspace, but there is no tendency for him to look towards me anymore.
Gu Hang felt that there seemed to be a thin layer of mist around his Storm God Kingdom, blocking out many sights.
What's going on?
Gu Hang had a rough guess in his mind.
In the subspace, there is only one person who can be compared with the four most majestic beings.
For humans, there are four evil gods in the warp; for other races, there are five.
But...what have I done to deserve this?
…
There was no point in studying those things in the Kingdom of Storm God. He wouldn't understand them anyway, so he didn't think much about it.
After ensuring the origin of Gowaga, at the top of the central tower of the kingdom of God, being baptized by thunder all the time and unable to escape, Gu Hang's consciousness left the subspace.
His spirit had already reached its limit, but he still held on and walked out of the observation tower of Mingyan City.
The secretarial group and several senior officials who were waiting outside couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the Governor finally come out.
So scared!
We have won the battle and now is the most festive moment. However, the person who led us to victory has been silent here for more than two days. How can this not make people feel sad?
Gu Hang endured the feeling of weakness and greeted everyone calmly, then appeared in the Governor's Mansion of Mingyan City again and met many officials from the Mingyan City Hive City Government and the Planetary Government. Then, he communicated with the Acting Commander of the Pegasus Fleet, Major General Du Shiliang, the Commander of the Star Army, Lieutenant General Hans, and the Special Envoy of the Star Domain Government, Neil Laois, in the Governor's Mansion.
This communication did not contain anything important. They simply explained their current situations and informed each other of the news, and that was it.
The purpose of the call was nothing else. Gu Hang needed to show his presence and tell his many partners that he had returned safely.
And this news is indeed more exciting than anything else.
…
The news of victory made many people very excited.
Neil Laois was one of them.
This special envoy and chief tax director of the star region government, who has undergone multiple life-extending surgeries and is already over 300 years old, is looking towards the surface of the planet Koroga with a smile on his face.
Her chest heaved, full of excitement.
Ever since she took on the role of special envoy and came to Koroja, she has been under a lot of pressure.
At present, the situation faced by the star region government is quite precarious. The most important thing is that the biggest disaster in the star region, the Iron-toothed Greenskins, has been going crazy since four years ago. Round after round of offensives, from the four star regions they have already occupied, continue to extend outward. The nearest Jinguan star region, which has always been the bridgehead against the Greenskins, has become a mess.
Multiple fortress worlds were caught in the flames of war. Countless soldiers from hundreds of worlds in the star field fought against the greenskins. There were eleven army groups in the Dragon Eagle Legion, with many subordinate legions, fighting fiercely with the greenskins on those key battlefields.
Multiple naval fleets played hide-and-seek and fought naval battles with the greenskin marauding fleets in the Jinguan Star Sector, Huanghe Star Sector, and Bloodberry Star Sector.
Everyone knows that you shouldn't engage in a war of attrition when dealing with the greenskins; it would be best if you could settle the issue with one blow.
But Dragon Eagle Star Region also wanted to do that, but it couldn't be done!
The high cost of war has made the star domain government unable to bear it.
Now is the moment when the entire star field needs to unite and contribute its strength.
But at this moment, a fire broke out in the backyard.
The hive world of Koroja 3 was an extremely important source of manpower. The export of 700-800 million people every two years provided a large number of soldiers, slave laborers, and colonial residents.
The entire Tianma star region, although it only has nine worlds, is considered small among the major star regions that generally have 15-16 worlds. However, this is the core star region in the eastern part of the Dragon Eagle star region, and the annual tax quota has reached 10 billion tax coins. With a total population of more than 60 billion, the six star regions bordering Tianma, whether in terms of population or tax, even if all are added together, are not as large as Tianma.
There is no room for error here.
As for Lao Yisi personally, she had long been tired of the position of Director General of Taxation.
And she wants to move up one step, that is, the Minister of the Interior of the Star Domain, which is a position second only to the Head of the Star Domain.
Her qualifications have long been sufficient; her achievements have also been sufficient.
What she lacked was just an opportunity.
The job of Chief Tax Officer was temporarily handed over to his deputy. Lao Yisi, who went all over the star field to collect taxes, took over the responsibility of the star field envoy and supervised the plague disaster in the Tianma star field. This was the opportunity.
If she did it well, she would rise to the top and the position of Minister of the Interior would be within her reach. The person sitting there now had already caused dissatisfaction. She had also received hints from the head of state and had connections in the Cosmic Domain government.
But if she doesn't do it right, being the tax commissioner might be the high point of her political career.
When he was at a loss, he chose to push Gu Hang up, which was indeed a bit like trying any desperate measure.
But now it seems...
“I have a very good eye.”
She couldn't help but smile complacently.
Moreover, she had a hunch that Gu Hang might bring her more surprises in the future.
…
Gu Hang, who was being thought of by Lao Yisi, was dreaming at this moment.
A burly man with long hair, wearing a simple robe and a laurel wreath on his head, was smiling at him.
The golden light that caught my eyes was not dazzling, but rather soft.
