Chapter 1012: Coexisting with Eternity
Using the three major methods of talent enlightenment in the [Hero] interface, functional building exchange in the [Building] interface, and troop training in the [Training] interface, Gu Hang has to spend a lot of time every month to transform the billions of gift points obtained through wars and monthly fixed income from territories into real power in the alliance in politics, economy, and military.
Sitting in the Kingdom of Storm God, maintaining the Thunder Torch Tower, and using it to suppress the Alliance and the entire New Empire, normalizing interstellar navigation and interstellar communication, and reducing the influence of Chaos corruption;
As the Prime Minister of the New Empire and leader of the alliance, he handles major and strategic government decisions;
Plan the spending of gift points in the system interface;
These are Gu Hang’s three types of daily work.
It is really a daily routine. He cannot let go of any aspect of his work, and it has occupied most of his time.
The time he had free to move around and control himself became shorter and shorter, and now it was almost gone.
Gu Hang certainly wouldn't be happy with this situation, and he wouldn't enjoy it. Although he was a bit of a workaholic, he was so perverted that he felt comfortable working all the time.
But it's not too painful.
On the one hand, he was used to it and had become numb to it. Inertia pushed him to keep doing it, and he could endure it.
On the other hand, there is also a contrast.
Although he was also imprisoned, the severity of his imprisonment was obviously not as high as that of the emperor.
At least, Gu Hang can move freely in the real universe as long as he is willing to pay the price. But the Emperor can never return to the mortal world.
Even without mentioning the price to pay, Gu Hang was at least quite free on Angry Owl Star. The veil of reality here was thin, and since it was the origin of the Kingdom of Storms, as long as Gu Hang was on Angry Owl Star, it was basically the same as staying in the Kingdom of Storms.
In this world, he could at least still lead a somewhat mortal life. His wife, Ye Lishia, had basically stepped down from all frontline combat command duties. She was still a key member of the Dark Side Expedition's military committee, but her primary responsibility was administrative work.
Although I am also very busy, it is much better than Gu Hang.
At least, the two can still live a life as a couple, unlike in the early years when they were separated for a long time.
Although Gu Hang doesn't have much free time, even a little bit of it will make a significant improvement to his condition.
Life continued like this, watching as the Empire's borders were gradually reclaimed through the Dark Side Crusade and the Indomitus Crusade. Throughout the universe, the citizens of the Empire, though not entirely free from danger, were at least generally living better in the Age of Cataclysm, even better than they had during the Old Empire. Humanity, as a whole, had weathered a major crisis and had a chance to flourish again...
These things are already within sight.
Perhaps there is still a long way to go and it will take a long time, but there are no obstacles on the road, and Gu Hang has a long enough life to witness the arrival of that scene.
By then, I will be able to say that I have lived up to my mission of coming to this universe.
Of course, there are obstacles, not entirely.
The greatest danger still comes from the four evil gods and the subspace itself.
The Warp brought psychic energy, faster-than-light travel, and the ability to instantly communicate across star regions and even the universe. Technology based on the Warp is the core that supports a cosmic empire.
However, the fickle, turbulent Warp, known as the Ocean of Souls, is constantly changing and surging. The risks it brings are objective, a 'natural disaster' that humanity cannot completely avoid by any means currently available.
And those four evil gods born from the subspace... Unfortunately, the stronger Gu Hang becomes, the more he realizes that those four gods are immortal.
The four evil gods originally represented some aspect of the will of all living beings and souls in this universe. Unless the entire universe was annihilated and the sea of souls in the subspace collapsed, the four gods would be indestructible.
But their immortality does not mean they are invincible.
On the contrary, the league has defeated them many times in the past.
It's not even just the Alliance. They have won many times in the empire's ten thousand year history.
Although due to the immortality of the Four Gods, they can make a comeback after losing countless times, but every loss for the Human Empire represents a trauma. If the loss is big - such as the previous Battle of Terra, then it may be completely lost.
But at least until now, humans have persisted.
Gu Hang believes that humans will continue to persevere in the future.
Besides, will the subspace always be so dangerous?
Maybe.
Gu Hang believed that the surge of the Warp was actually cyclical, but this cycle was very long. According to many historical records, at least 10,000 years ago, when the Empire was first established, the Warp was not as dangerous as it is today.
The outbreak of the Imperial Civil War was a major upheaval; but in its aftermath, the waves of the Warp have only grown more fierce and dangerous.
After the power of the Warp Wave continued to grow for ten thousand years, it reached its peak with the fall of Cartier and the appearance of the Scarlet Scar.
According to the history of the Eldar, before the establishment of the Human Empire, when the Eldar Empire collapsed, that was the time when this round of warp strengthening took place, and its landmark event was the birth of Slaanesh.
But further back, when the Eldar Empire was at its peak, including during humanity's so-called 'Golden Age', the Warp was far less dangerous than it is today.
Gu Hang could feel that as the scarlet scar was slowly repaired, this round of subspace frenzy should slowly die out.
Perhaps the Warp will never return to its most peaceful past; in who knows how many years, another disaster, no less devastating than the Scarlet Scar, or even more powerful, may arrive...
But the empire has already gone through two rounds, and Gu Hang will lead the human race to deal with future crises again and again.
Humanity is learning, and will continue to learn, how to coexist with the dangerous Warp and the cruel Four Gods.
…
Just as Gu Hang was looking at the future of the entire race, a message was delivered to his desk with the highest priority.
That was the news from the Dark Side Expedition - the Angel Expeditionary Force.
They suspected they had discovered traces of a son of God.
Gu Hang immediately paid close attention to the matter and asked to report the latest news at any time.
