Chapter 84 Seeing the Emperor Again
Chapter 84 Seeing the Emperor Again
"Your Excellency Horus, I have long admired your name, and it is an honor to meet you today."
Coming to his senses, Li Wei quickly bowed in greeting.
He looked at the intact Horus, the Shadowmoon Wolf Primarch, but the image of the broken and lifeless Horus he had just seen involuntarily flashed through his mind, creating a stark contrast.
Seeing Li Wei's somewhat dazed expression, the astute Horus, sensing that Qianzi's chief strategist was about to utter something earth-shattering, smiled and said:
"Chief of the Thousand Sons, have a good talk with Abaddon, a member of the Shadowmoon Wolf Four Kings Council behind me."
As he said this, he reached out and pulled over the muscular man behind him, who was wearing black Terminator power armor, no helmet, and had a topknot hairstyle, and introduced him.
"Come on, you are all high-ranking members of your respective legions, you must have common topics to discuss."
Horus, having made all the arrangements, chatted and laughed with Magnus as they walked toward the distant reception room, while the two Primarch's personal guards followed closely behind in orderly steps.
For a time, only Abaddon of Shadowmoon Wolf and Li Wei, the chief think tank of Thousand Sons, remained.
"Hello, Chief Li Wei."
Seeing that Levi looked a little confused, the cheerful Abaddon took the initiative to greet him.
"Hmm!" Li Wei, snapping out of his daze, quickly returned the greeting with a smile.
He had already realized that the man in front of him was the one who possessed the Shadowmoon Wolf Warrior that he had seen in the future, and that the imposing Astartes warrior in front of him was also the initiator of the Eternal War in the future, and Abaddon, the war commander of the Chaos forces in the future.
However, Levi had no intention of eliminating him at all. He had realized that his changes to the Warhammer universe had completely altered it. It was even uncertain whether Horus could become a Warmaster, let alone Abaddon, the future enemy of the Empire.
However, he now had even more doubts in his heart. He had to meet the Emperor, and there were too many unsolved mysteries in his mind. He vaguely sensed that his time travel was closely related to the all-knowing and all-powerful Emperor, the ruler of mankind.
Seeing that Abaddon might not become a war commander in the future and was somewhat embarrassed, Li Wei spoke first, smiling as he said:
"Come on, I'll take you to see the headquarters of Qianzi's think tank and let you see Qianzi's countless ancient books and secret texts."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei led Abaddon to his private Stormhawk helipad and flew towards the Crimson Book, the headquarters of Thousand Sons' think tank.
......
In the days that followed, the Thousand Sons Legion, skilled in psionic abilities, joined forces with the formidable Shadowmoon Wolves to launch a grand expedition, achieving resounding victories and advancing triumphantly.
As for Li Wei, Qianzi's various plans had already been arranged, so he felt at ease and went deep into the subspace to devote himself to the research of psychic magic.
Whenever he encountered a bottleneck in his psychic magic, he would seek advice from Magnus or study with the Creator Vashtor, leading a very fulfilling life that allowed Levi to temporarily forget the strange prophecy.
Years later, in the turbulent subspace, the golden light that mimicked a star torch that Li Wei's soul body, glowing with a fluorescent white light, gathered in his hand suddenly intensified.
He then deliberately extinguished the golden light in his hand and looked sharply towards the place where the golden light was shimmering deep in the subspace.
In that subspace bathed in golden light, Li Wei saw a golden torrent that could devour everything slowly approaching him. The light was like a blazing golden sun, as if it wanted to completely evaporate his fragile soul.
"The Emperor has arrived. It seems that some things can be resolved. I have been puzzled for far too long."
Li Wei thought to himself, his mind instantly sinking into the third level, his soul returning to the real universe.
The moment his soul returned to his body, the personal communicator on Li Wei's wrist immediately rang.
"Quickly... Li Wei, the Emperor is here! We must immediately proceed to the Emperor's carriage, the Emperor Dream, to pay our respects."
"Hmm." Li Wei replied in a deep voice, standing up. He was now more eager to see the Emperor than Magnus was, and he wanted to see the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind, even more. He had too many questions that he wanted to verify.
......
Emperor Dream Ship.
The bridge banquet hall.
The place was brightly lit, with long tables laden with delicacies and fine wines, and every corner was decorated with meticulous care.
Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, and Horus, the Primarch of the Shadowmoon Wolves, sat on opposite sides of the long table, while the seat of the Emperor, the head of the table, remained empty.
Livy, as Magnus's chief deputy, stood behind Magnus, quietly awaiting the Emperor's arrival.
Although this was Li Wei's third time seeing the Emperor, he felt no emotion. He focused more on the Emperor's guards, the Silent Sisters and the Imperial Guards, who stood solemnly on both sides of the hall, exuding an imposing aura.
Even the guards brought by Magnus and Horus held their breath, filled with awe, making the atmosphere in the banquet hall extremely oppressive.
Just as Li Wei was about to lose his focus, a dignified yet gentle voice rang out.
"My sons, Magnus and Horus, you have worked hard."
Li Wei's unfocused gaze instantly focused on the gate in the distance, heavily guarded by the Silent Nun and the Golden Guard. The emperor, dressed in a golden robe and wearing a golden laurel crown, slowly walked in.
Behind the tall and imposing emperor, the aged-looking Macardo, the one who held the seal, slowly walked in, leaning on his obsidian scepter.
"Father!"
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Apart from the Emperor's personal guards, the Silent Sisters and the Imperial Guards only needed to bow slightly in greeting, while the other Astartes warriors who had come with the Primarch knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
Amidst a deafening roar of cheers, the Emperor finally took his seat in the main seat, and Macardo stood beside the Emperor, where he usually stayed.
The emperor raised his hand in a gesture and said:
"My sons and my warriors, please don't stand on ceremony. This is just a family dinner; there's no need to be so formal."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Primarchs returned to their seats, and the remaining warriors also stood up, but all of them stood up straight, looking exceptionally energetic.
The tense expressions of the Thousand Sons and Shadow Moon Wolves were not only because most of them were seeing the Emperor, the Lord of Humanity, for the first time and were extremely excited.
More than anything, it was for the sake of their respective legions' reputation, since the opposing legion was right in front of them, and they couldn't afford to lose face for their own legion.
The banquet concluded with the emperor, Magnus, and Horus engaging in lively conversation.
Then, just as Li Wei was secretly regretting that he couldn't see the Emperor privately today, the banquet had just ended and everyone was preparing to leave.
Macardo, who had been relegated to the background, walked up to Levi and whispered:
"The Emperor requests the presence of Qianzi's chief think tank."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Li Wei completely bewildered.
