Chapter 885, Sitting at the Poker Table
Gu Jing stood up, glanced at the statue of the Son of God, stepped on the white snow under his feet, and let out a long breath.
Although he had acted confident throughout the entire process, in reality, how could he not be nervous at all?
But fortunately, so far, everything has turned out pretty well.
From the Space Marines such as the Black Crusaders and the Grey Knights, or relatively ordinary troops such as the Inquisition and the Skitarii, there are definitely casualties, but overall, they are completely within an acceptable range.
Turning his gaze to Maevenior and Great Sage Kaul, Gu Jing said, "I have fulfilled the request you made to me. Now, most people have safely arrived at Super Starfish. Now, it's time for you to fulfill the reasons you used to convince me."
He was talking, of course, about the resurrection of Robert, the Son of God.
"Of course, this is our goal." Maeve Niel said, "We are currently located near the North Pole of the Super Starfish. The next step is to find the base of the Infinite Warriors, get in touch with them, and gain their trust..."
When he said this, Gu Jing raised his head and looked into the distance.
"No need to look for them, they are here."
…
When his son and his group successfully arrived at the Super Starfish, Gu Hang, whose consciousness was in the Kingdom of Storm God, raised his head with a smile: "You see, I already understand the rules of the game. I followed the rules completely this time, and I won."
"Behave yourself. You should leave."
A scream echoed outside Gu Hang's kingdom of God.
The Dark Prince was quite unhappy and unwilling.
But so what?
This time He really lost.
What a pity.
Those prey were very valuable, especially the small but elite Eldar team, and their leaders Mevnir and Arielian, whom she was very eager to obtain.
But...if you lose, you lose.
No matter how unwilling you are, you have to end this game first.
But it doesn’t matter.
They still have a long, almost eternal time, so they can play slowly and have fun, and don't care about winning or losing this game at all.
After Slaanesh's screams gradually faded away, Gu Hang heard Khorne's furious roar again.
He hears these kinds of sounds more easily now than before.
It is estimated that another "game" between Slaanesh and Khorne, the biggest rivals and enemies, has begun.
After confirming that those guys had gone far away, Gu Hang sighed helplessly.
The confrontation between evil gods in the subspace is called the 'Great Game'.
What bullshit!
Gu Hang didn't want to play these so-called games at all, and he didn't think these "games" were great.
But he had to play.
He had a feeling that the more powerful he became, the less free he became.
It felt like the gods had treated everything as chess pieces and a game over the long years, but he had been forced to join in.
But he soon figured it all out.
What was the reason for freedom in the past?
It is because he is too weak and too far away from the truth of the real universe that he can seem to be "free" to do this or that.
What is more important is that he must admit that someone is carrying the burden for him.
Why was he always at peace in the Warp when he first became a 'god'? Why was it that later on, when he always used the power of the Warp Kingdom to tear open cracks in the real universe and put the power of the Kingdom of God into the real universe to overwhelm others, he always took advantage and there were no other powerful enemies in the Warp to attack him?
He originally thought that everything was as it should be, and that this was the way the world was.
The Emperor? Maybe the Emperor gave him some help, but he was mainly on his own.
However, after reaching his current position, he knew that relying on himself was nonsense. If there was no one to protect him and carry him forward in the subspace, he would have been hit hard and died when there was a strong interference in the real universe.
When he was still weak, not to mention the powerful ones in the warp, even a great demon like Shakchi would be enough to destroy him. How could he have a sword master like Rossmond? How could he have the help of the Eldar god who had fought against Shakchi countless times, exchanged countless lives of his people for experience, and left eternal scars?
To put it bluntly, it’s all thanks to the emperor’s protection.
In the initial stage, he hid Gu Hang's Kingdom of Storm God under his wings, making it difficult for other malicious sub-space powers to find it, giving Gu Hang and his alliance precious time to develop.
And now, he has reached his current position. Even among the powerful beings in the subspace, he is no match for any of them in a head-on battle of equal conditions. However, at least he has reached this level, and in his own kingdom of God, it is not a big problem for him to protect himself.
At this time, don't count on the emperor's protection anymore.
It’s not that the emperor doesn’t want to, but that it’s impossible.
The greatest significance of the protection provided by the Emperor was that it could hide Gu Hang. But now, with the size of Gu Hang and the Alliance, it was impossible for him to hide. Other powerful people had already regarded him as a rival and had even begun to invite him to "play games".
On the contrary, now is the time for him to provide shelter to others.
For example, his son.
In the battle on the web, every person and Eldar unit played a very important role. And the biggest contributor was naturally Gu Jing.
Gu Hang, on the other hand, did not play any significant role in the matter itself, and even played some negative roles. The exchange between Gu Jing and Gu Hang made the situation on the Internet suddenly become complicated and difficult.
There is nothing wrong with this.
But what about at a higher level?
That's a joke, if Gu Hang wasn't there, there would be more than just Xia Keqi squeezing into the cybernetic barrier.
Slaanesh had no idea how much he coveted that Eldar god-enemy.
That is His 'core interest'.
If Gu Hang hadn't been watching, Slaanesh would have no opponent in this 'game', and he would have been the only player.
How could He still be so honest?
They will definitely make an effort to interfere and direct the "game" to the ending they want.
This is the meaning of Gu Hang’s existence.
Even though he couldn't provide any help to Gu Jing, and even seemed to have side effects, he gave Gu Jing, the Eldar, and the Space Marines a relatively fair chance to fight the demons.
Instead of being trapped in a destined ending due to Slaanesh's intervention.
Now, the children have arrived at Super Starfish, where the Son of God sleeps.
That was on the other side of the scarlet scar.
It is not easy for Gu Hang's power to cross the scarlet scar and affect that side. Because, Gu Hang is now, to a large extent, a 'racial god' - not the racial god of all mankind, but the racial god of the alliance.
Now, the influence of the Alliance on the other side is extremely small. Only before the Great Rift appeared, when Gu Hang's victory in the East was spread to the West, he attracted a group of "fans", especially those on Holy Terra, who were able to allow him to exert a little influence on the other side.
But the force applied was too small, and the key point was that there was this scarlet scar in the middle as a barrier, which made it very difficult for Gu Hang to know and understand some information on Holy Terra.
Not to mention his almost non-influential Superstar.
Gu Hang really couldn't control what was happening over there.
It all depends on how my son performs.
However, he is generally optimistic and confident.
On the one hand, he still had confidence in Gu Jing's abilities.
On the other hand, he couldn't control the other side of the dark side of the empire, but he wasn't the real human god. That side was the emperor's home ground, so he didn't have to worry too much.
He should continue to worry about the dark side of the empire.
It has been more than sixty years since the Dark Side Crusade began, and more than thirty years since the Ohmgerian War.
The victory in the Ohmgerian War basically means that the Greenskins, a major enemy that humans have to face during the Dark Side Expedition of the Empire, have withdrawn from the game. The death of King Bonebreaker means that the Greenskins in the real universe have suddenly lost their most powerful leader.
The green-skinned second brother Gomao was tragically attacked by the four gods. After suffering a great loss, he had to lie dormant temporarily and reduce his interference in the real universe.
This has caused the greenskin forces in the real universe, at least in the dark side of the empire, to fall into a huge trough.
It is still very difficult to eradicate this race. However, after surgery and chemotherapy, the cancer has slowed down significantly and the situation has improved a lot.
Perhaps, in who knows how many years in the future, the greenskins will eventually develop again, reignite the green craze, and bring huge challenges.
But at least not now.
After reducing a major alien enemy, the overall progress of the Dark Side Expedition became much easier.
At the same time, the victory in the Battle of Omgeria brought a great benefit.
A very important tentacle fleet of the Void Zerg was annihilated, and they were unable to replenish it for the time being.
The entire Forward Universe was completely recovered in the few years after the end of the Ohmgeria War, and the digestion process was relatively fast. It has now become one of the Alliance's solid territories. The stability is definitely not as good as the Spider Universe and the Eastern Universe, which have been controlled by the Alliance for hundreds of years, but at least it is not worse than the situation in the Magre Universe.
As the person in charge of the Forward Universe, Tech Hainot is doing a great job.
After the war in the Advance Space Domain was basically over, the Western Expeditionary Force entered the Tianwang Space Domain.
Tianwang Universe was no longer considered part of the Eastern Territory. According to the division before the Great Cataclysm, it was part of the Central Territory of the Empire. However, after the appearance of the Scarlet Scar, a large rift across the Empire cut a small part of the Central Territory to the Dark Side of the Empire.
After nearly thirty years of expedition, the Tianwang universe was basically recovered.
Gu Hang also gave Yan Fangxu a task, asking him to search and check whether there was a stable passage through the scarlet scar to the other side of the empire.
Unfortunately, Yan Fangxu did not find it in the Tianwang universe.
However, although this mission was not completed, the Dark Side Expedition as a whole went relatively smoothly.
In fact, the situation in the Tianwang Universe is generally worse than that in the Magre Universe and the Forward Universe after removing the Ohm and Lia Star Domain. Because the Tianwang Universe is quite close to the Scarlet Scar, the influence of chaos is much more serious than other places.
And here, after entering the room, Gu Hang had to play many games with the Four Gods.
To be honest, there are wins and losses, and the losses are more common.
Every defeat does not mean that the war in the real universe will be lost. After all, the real universe is still material, and the influence of the subspace is great, but it is not completely decisive.
However, when Gu Hang lost, it always brought huge losses to the allied forces in the real universe.
This made Gu Hang very angry and helpless.
But no matter what, the overall trend is still positive.
Although the battle for Tianwang Universe was arduous, at least up to now, Tianwang Universe has been largely recovered.
Compared to the Western Expeditionary Force, which was difficult at every step and whose entire expedition process had a lot to do with Gu Hang's participation in the "Great Game" between the gods, the Alliance's journey on the Southern Front was smoother.
The initial battle targets of the southern expeditionary force were the two space regions of Adan and Guangjin. At the end of the Omgeria War, these two space regions had been severely damaged.
And now, the southern expeditionary force has spread the war to the Dingyuan and Ningshou universes, and the battle is nearing its end.
At present, the alliance already has eight cosmic domains: Spider Web, East, Magre, Qianjin, Guangjin, Yadan, Dingyuan, Ningshou...
One quarter of the Star-Swallowing Universe in the northern border of the empire can also be counted.
Altogether, there are more than 43,000 worlds, with an estimated total population of nearly one hundred trillion.
Moreover, many of the policies adopted by the Alliance were completely "thankless" in the traditional politics of the Empire. But the Alliance did just that, step by step, steadily repairing those worlds destroyed by war, striving to make them recover quickly.
After decades of persistence, these long-term investments are gradually generating returns, giving back to the alliance and the entire expedition.
