Chapter 882, Prophecy and Resurrection
"How can I help you?" Gu Jing asked.
"We need you to be our guide and lead us to the destination we have already set."
“Tell me more about it.” Gu Jing pretended to be listening attentively.
Maeve Neil explained it in detail.
They had already set the destination for this trip in the Internet earlier, so there shouldn't be any problem.
However, the impact of the Cartier explosion and the appearance of scarlet scars was still too great.
"Before we got lost, our navigation was stable. In fact, it is still working. However, we did not expect that the connection between the subspace and the real universe would change so drastically. In your words, it is the so-called scarlet scar. The drastic change caused our navigation, which originally relied on the connection between the subspace and reality, to become completely disordered..."
That sounds reasonable.
Gu Jing could understand the changes.
If the Eldar traveling through the Webway were compared to ships sailing in the dark sea at night, then the navigation they used would be the many lighthouses that pierce the darkness and the unchanging stars in the sky, which served as markers to confirm their current position and the direction of their destination.
Under normal circumstances, this is fine. Whether it is a lighthouse or a star, it is usually unchanging, or even if there is a change, it is within a predictable range, changing periodically and regularly.
But a catastrophe completely overturned everything. All the stars were in chaos, and the lighthouses were all relocated. As a result, the navigation in my hand still pointed the way in the original way. Wouldn't it be certain that I couldn't get out?
However, Gu Jing still had a core problem.
"Then how did you find me? And why must I be the one to lead you out?"
He looked at Kaur as he asked the question.
Gu Jing never gave up the calculations. The 'intelligent assistant' behind him kept checking the surrounding environment and the people in front of him. He was afraid that these guys might be some kind of sub-space entities that had transformed to deceive him.
It's possible that those Tzeentch demons could come up with all kinds of weird and strange methods.
But he was still confident in his abilities. After investigating for so long, he basically ruled out the possibility that these people were disguised as some sub-space entities.
Although he still remained very vigilant, he was indeed curious about what was going on with this rather strange group of people.
Among them, compared to the two suspicious aliens, Kohl, who once had a friendship with his father, is the more trustworthy one.
But Kaul shook his head slightly at this time.
His eyes turned to the two ladies beside him.
"You'll have to ask them both. I asked the same question as you, but I didn't get a definite answer."
Princess Arellian said, "We said that because..."
"Because Gu Jing is related to the fate of your clan, you can find him through the prophecy." Kaul added to Arielian's words, "But just this sentence is not enough to convince Mr. Gu Jing. You need to make the reason more clear."
"You don't believe us?" Arelion asked, "Don't forget who rescued you. If it weren't for us, you would have died in Cartier long ago!"
Kaul remained calm: "Indeed, you are right. This is why I am willing to control the situation and allow Estella, Miristine, Changting, Rosemond and others to continue to maintain our cooperation. However, this does not mean that I completely trust you, nor does it mean that I will believe every word you say."
Arielian said sarcastically, "You don't even want to fully trust your savior?"
"At least you didn't save Mr. Gu Jing's life, and the target of your trust now is not me."
After saying this coldly, Kaul kept silent.
His meaning was clear: he would not guarantee any of the Eldar's subsequent words, and he had appeared earlier to save Princess Arellian simply for the ongoing cooperative relationship between the two sides.
The spirit tribe didn't lie to him, but at least they were hiding something from him. From now on, whether Gu Jing would agree to the spirit tribe's request was up to Gu Jing himself.
Even if the final decision is 'no', it is possible that he himself will continue to be lost in the webway.
“So what exactly is this so-called fate connection?” Gu Jing’s psychic tentacles moved around Mavenir’s body, and fine runes appeared in his golden pupils. “It’s best not to use prophecy or something like that to evade me.”
"But, it is a prophecy."
"Our race once ruled the sea of stars and was the most outstanding psychic race in the history of the entire universe."
When she said this, Maeve Niel looked a little proud, but she immediately retracted her expression and turned it into sadness.
"But in a disaster far more terrible than today's Scarlet Scar, our race was destroyed overnight."
"The remaining tribesmen split into many branches."
"Over the long years, the various tribes, whether it was the prophets on the arks, the druids in the wilderness, or the witches and old women among our fallen tribesmen... all received a prophecy in various ways: the youngest son of the evil god, who advocated rationality the most, would return to the human world in the End Era and decide the final fate of the Eldar."
"There are different interpretations of this prophecy, and there are roughly three categories."
"First, the youngest evil god is... Slaanesh. Born from the corpses of our clan, she is indeed the youngest evil god today and the source of our clan's suffering. If she is interpreted as the youngest evil god, then we should look for her most rational offspring."
"But obviously, you don't believe this interpretation." Gu Jing said, "Otherwise you wouldn't have come to me."
"Yes. Although many of my kin have been trying to find the most rational of the children of Slaanesh, they have never found a suitable target."
"The second interpretation refers to your Emperor. You call him the God-Emperor all the time. Although he is different from the four most unspeakable ones in the warp, he can be considered valid just in terms of power. And if he is interpreted as the youngest god, then the target is very clear - Robert, who has been sleeping on the Super Sea Star for 10,000 years, is the most rational one among the many descendants of your God-Emperor. Most of the interpretations of the prophecy are on him."
Gu Jing didn't know whether this was possible or not.
He has also read a lot of the history of the empire, or rather the myth of the empire.
The legendary Son of God - Robert, the ancestor of the Infinite Legion, is indeed such a person.
But it still had nothing to do with him.
He was waiting for the Eldar Herald to tell him about their third reading.
"The third interpretation is you, Mr. Gu Jing."
"But I'm not the son of any god," he retorted.
"Indeed, you are not yet." Maeve Niel's words were quite meaningful.
“Haha.” Gu Jing sneered, “You want me to believe that my father will become a god in the future?”
That’s what Maeve Neal meant.
"I still have a hard time believing you guys."
Mevnir tapped the air with her bare feet, and the olive branch crown woven from an unknown metal suddenly burst into a star-like halo.
The space they were in was originally an illusion that was forcibly constructed.
The light and shadow changed like rippling water, and the place where they were suddenly turned into a clean delivery room.
Gu Jing had never seen this scene, but it did not prevent him from seeing his mother, Ms. Ye Lixia, lying on the delivery bed.
This should be the scene of his birth.
"We observed the ripples of fate when you were born. This is the truth that the Ark Council obtained in exchange for the Eternal Prism."
“It was at that time that the interpretation of the prophecy about you and your father gradually emerged.”
“So the ‘dirty things’ my father mentioned also include you, the Spiritual Race?” Gu Jing suddenly laughed, “So you’ve been spying for decades?”
There was anger in his smile.
Even the Demon Lord of Change behind him suddenly spread his wings, and every feather on his wings was changing color.
"I'm sorry, but this concerns the ultimate fate of our clan."
"I don't care about your fate, I just want to know what you are going to do."
Kaur, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Here, I can add one thing." The mechanical voice was full of rationality, "I once had an agreement with Robert..."
"You? With Robert? The Son of God? He's been asleep for ten thousand years."
"Yes."
"You've lived that long?"
"Yes. On some levels, it's not a secret."
“…Okay, please continue.” Gu Jing still had some basic respect for Kaul.
"The great Son of God has foreseen his own death. He asked me to try to revive him after his death. Now, I have completed the armor of destiny that can save the Son of God."
"Resurrection... Son of God?"
"Yes."
"But what does it have to do with them..." Gu Jing was referring to the spirits, "?"
"This armor can only be truly activated with their power."
"What about me? What role will I play in your script?"
Maeve Nir said, "We are still unable to determine which interpretation of the prophecy is correct. Even the most outrageous Slaanesh theory cannot be completely ruled out. In this case, we must take multiple approaches. This action originally had nothing to do with you. It was to resurrect Robert. In addition to the prophecy, we also need a being who is wise and powerful enough to lead your empire and find an ally for our people."
"But we have now accidentally drifted into a lost situation, and due to the interpretation of one aspect of the prophecy, we can only find you in the real universe. We need your power to serve as a new 'beacon' in the display universe so that we can calibrate our navigation."
"As long as we succeed, we will be able to reach Robert's sleeping place instantly through the webway."
"So, even if it's for the sake of your empire, please help us."
After hearing this, Gu Jing pondered for a long time.
There is too much information.
Whether it is Caul claiming to have a lifespan of ten thousand years, claiming to be able to resurrect the Son of God, or the prophecy spoken by the alien that his father will become a god in the future... these are things beyond imagination.
But to some extent, he was inclined to believe it.
Even the most outrageous point, that Gu Hang became a god, might not be really that absurd.
He knew the great power his father possessed. It didn't seem too exaggerated to say that his father was now a god.
After digesting it carefully, he finally said, "I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to communicate with my father."
Gu Jing is no longer young.
Now he is eighty years old. Although he still looks like a young man, he has become a mature man through long years of study and practice in alliance government affairs.
It is also because of this that he would not act alone and make any rash critical decisions.
He was mature enough, so he was aware enough that he couldn't hide this kind of thing from his father.
"No!" Emerald flames exploded around Arellian. "Once Gu Hang intervenes, his power will be too obvious and will destroy the stability of the Webway. The Warp Demon Army chasing us will arrive first and may even attract... attract the attention of Slaanesh."
"That's not up to you."
Gu Jing sneered and tore the lightning thread into pieces, and the entire dream space began to collapse.
He had never truly believed in these people who pulled him into his dreams, so he never gave up on turning the tables.
And now, the person who is in charge of this dream is no longer the witch princess who created the dream.
Mavenir's shadow flickered: "Please wait! We can open part of our memory core in exchange for your trust..."
"The promises of the Eldar are less trustworthy than the excrement of the Horror. There is no room for negotiation. Even if you continue to wander the Webway for another sixty years, it will not stop me from contacting my father."
Arielian's pointed ears turned red with anger, but Mavenir locked her throat with psychic power.
The pioneer wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth: "Let go, let Mr. Gu Jing go. We need allies, and we really need to be more honest."
Gu Jing's spiritual energy finally began to weave the Spark Rune. When the silver-white flame illuminated the entire space, Maeve Niel suddenly groaned and fell to the ground, and Arielian fainted.
"Father agreed." Gu Jing said as the rune went out.
His eyes were fixed on the scene that appeared after the dream collapsed.
This is a barren land. Its width is limited so that you can see the ends on both sides; but looking forward and backward, it seems endless.
He saw the living saint with white wings on his back, the Space Marines of the Black Crusades wearing black and white armor, the Space Marines with runes all over their silver-grey armor that looked quite special, the Stormtroopers of the Inquisition, the Skitarii, and the Eldar troops...
They are not just a small team, they are a mixed army.
And in this desolation, a rift opened up.
Just now, when Gu Jing contacted his father, the drastic impact caused had already been revealed.
A large number of Warp demons swarmed into the cracks.
