Was I being made into some kind of... weapon? Becoming the spirit of some "artifact"? Once that "artifact" was born, I would become someone else's most effective weapon or magical treasure? Is that what it meant?
It’s no wonder that Chang Wei didn’t believe what Old Man Huang said, he just felt that this matter was too unbelievable.
I'm just an ordinary person who suddenly gained access to the system, an ordinary person without any extraordinary talents. How could I have such a deep and complicated background? Is this a joke?
Also, Huang Laohan's claim that he's not human is a bit too much. He's made of flesh and blood, so how can he not be human? And where is the so-called "artifact embryo"? Even nonsense has its limits!
Chang Wei suddenly burst into laughter to cover up the embarrassment caused by his previous shock.
"Respected Emperor, as you said, these are just your guesses. Perhaps the soul auras of the same entity are actually the same?"
Anyone else who dared to question the Emperor would have been slapped with a psychic dart. But for Chang Wei, especially one who played a crucial role in his plan, the Emperor could still tolerate his disrespect.
The Emperor glanced at Chang Wei and did not continue the previous topic. Instead, he said seriously: "In short, the time has come. This is a battle that will determine the ultimate fate of mankind! I ask you to fulfill your promise from that year. After all, I have already handed over my two sons to you..."
Chang Wei nodded and smiled, "Of course, that's why we're here! But to implement it, we still need the help of the respected Emperor. At the very least, we need the entire Empire to cooperate with our Light Chaser Fleet."
"I understand what you mean. I have been looking forward to appearing today for a very long time. All the preparations and plans have long been etched in my mind. However, out of respect for your presence, do you have any other requests?"
Since you, Old Man Huang, have said so, I won’t be polite.
"Respected Emperor, I hope you can grant me a righteous cause. At least a cause that can suppress all loyal Primarchs and make them obey my orders."
"At the same time, I also hope that you can always bless me and prevent me from being bewitched and harmed by those demons and monsters in the warp."
"Finally, I also hope to gain the power to amend imperial decrees and reorganize the army!"
To be honest, the first and second conditions are reasonable and logical, but the third condition is a bit too much.
You know, a country's political decrees and military are extremely sensitive and far-reaching issues! Especially since the Human Empire is a centralized monarchy, wouldn't touching these two things be like stroking the emperor's whiskers and touching his reverse scales?
Therefore, after Chang Wei said it, he felt a little regretful. However, in order to speed up the realization of strategic goals, he still bit the bullet and chose to give advice.
Chang Wei lowered his head slightly, with a sincere attitude, waiting for the emperor's reply.
The Emperor stared at Chang Wei without saying a word. After a long while, he replied in a neutral tone, "I understand."
Damn it! This ambiguous answer is like writing "read" on an essay without giving it a grade.
The heart of the Saint is truly unpredictable! I wonder if he'll do something bad to me because of this. He's not that petty, is he? This big golden guy is pretty positive, isn't he? He doesn't seem like the type who would just swoop in and smack someone to death if they scold him.
Chang Wei could only lower his posture as much as possible and continue to talk with the emperor.
This conversation lasted for over three hours. During this time, Chang Wei also asked the Emperor if he wanted to try out the advanced medical technology brought by the Light Chaser Fleet. Perhaps it could help him recover from the injuries sustained by Horus!
But the Emperor declared this futile, as Horus had been imbued with the power of the Four Evil Gods, leaving a lingering imprint of their ineradicable power within his body. These forces were constantly corroding and sapping his life force, forcing him to constantly fight them. Therefore, unless the Four Evil Lords were destroyed or their power withdrawn, or the Emperor himself died, his broken body could not be restored.
Chang Wei did not continue to insist, but turned around and asked the emperor expectantly whether he had psychic talent?
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were slowly turning up, Chang Wei quickly called a halt.
This time, he'd given up completely. He wanted to learn psionic powers, but he had no talent. He wanted to learn the Force, but he was too old. Learning the dark side of the Force? No way! Now, he wanted to test his psychic talent, but the Emperor said: "Do you see the look in my eyes that's about to turn up?"
Well, when it comes to supernatural powers, Chang Wei really doesn't have any talent at all, and he won't expect to "cultivate immortals" in the future. It's better for him to be a fleet commander with peace of mind. At most, he can occasionally use the "Spear of Dimension" to guest-star as a peerless ship immortal.
After leaving the palace, Chang Wei went to the luxurious residence that everyone had arranged for him. Before leaving, the emperor said that a great miracle would be carried out tomorrow, and at that time, Chang Wei's identity and the empire's next move would be carefully announced.
Originally, Chang Wei was going to return to the Hyperion, but then he thought it wasn't appropriate, as it seemed like he was being disrespectful to the Emperor. If the Emperor arranged a place for you, and you didn't live there, would that mean you looked down on him? So, Chang Wei couldn't refuse!
However, the imperial capital had been almost completely taken over, save for the Imperial Guards and the Sisters of Silence. The streets were completely safe, with local troops maintaining law and order and patrolling everywhere.
