Chapter 424: Alien Forces
Wu Pifu felt more and more that this Magic Conch was really a good thing, especially for a combat-type person like him who was not good at deciphering or long-range planning. This thing was simply a divine artifact!
However, this matter was of great importance. He was now trapped in this star system, without any faster-than-light travel means. He couldn't possibly spend thousands of years going to another star system, right?
At the same time, because the pulling main quest hadn't been achieved yet, he hadn't killed enough demons for one hundred thousand points, so he couldn't even return to Gaia. If he couldn't find a faster-than-light travel method, he would really be stuck and trapped to death here.
Actually, it wasn't that there were no other ways for faster-than-light travel. For example, entering the Warp wouldn't necessarily have problems, and if the Emperor could resist the Four Gods, even for a moment, they could indeed go to another star system.
In short, Wu Pifu now intended to use the Magic Conch to predict what he should do.
And he was prepared to use the forbidden method.
Wu Pifu moved his mouth and transmitted sound to Beelzebub, and Beelzebub emitted thoughts after thinking, which Wu Pifu perceived. After a long time, Wu Pifu nodded and picked up the Magic Conch.
"Magic Conch, I want to know if there is any other way to obtain faster-than-light travel means if we don't take Warp travel. It is not limited to human power, but we cannot use psychic power or any power related to the Emperor, the Four Gods, or the Warp. It is best if it can be limited to material means or technological means. Any race's power is fine, but it must be something that can be definitely obtained, and you cannot say useless nonsense. It must be a method that can be practically obtained..."
Wu Pifu's lung capacity was naturally astonishing. He repeated everything Beelzebub told him, and the people around him stared blankly at this scene.
Then, a crack appeared on the shell of the Magic Conch. Fortunately, the crack produced by the previous use had already healed to the point of being almost invisible, so Wu Pifu felt calm in his heart.
After several seconds, a wave-mixed female voice that sounded almost angry and anxious came from the conch: "Wait, fast, trade."
Very good!
Wu Pifu knew he had succeeded. This time, what the Magic Conch said was not useless nonsense—for example, if he asked how to travel faster than light, the Magic Conch answered "use technology to travel faster than light"—but it practically stated the method, and it was very detailed... although he didn't understand it.
But it didn't matter, he had a decoder!
Ding-ding-ding, Whispering Skull!
"When a person is about to die, their words are good. There is no existence in the world that knows more truth than the dead."
"Killing ten thousand lives can charge once, and up to one hundred charges can be stored."
"You can use one charge to resolve a riddle, resolve a few words, or use one hundred charges to obtain the detailed content of a prophecy."
Correct, this was the thing that could interpret the Magic Conch's riddles!
It was simply a matching set.
Wu Pifu picked up the Whispering Skull and looked at it carefully, and then he was immediately surprised to find that the Whispering Skull actually had one hundred usage permissions fully charged!?
Did this mean he had killed one million lives?
No, had he killed that many?
Even counting the ones he killed in the weekend and the ones he killed in the Heaven World this time, it was at most a few tens of thousands of lives, right?
Or was it that killing one demon was equivalent to killing tens, hundreds, or thousands of lives?
Wu Pifu thought of a flesh-and-metal demon he killed in the Heaven World. At that time, after killing it, a massive amount of souls gushed out. Could it be that these souls were also counted as his kills?
While deep in thought, Wu Pifu picked up the Whispering Skull and thought about it, and decided to use the option of one hundred charges to obtain a detailed interpretation.
"... Wait in place, because of your uniqueness, a violent echo has been triggered in the Warp of the entire world. The failure of the Four Gods is unprecedented. They are still brewing a huge conspiracy, and for your uniqueness, they will use all their strength at all costs. So once you enter the Warp, you will definitely die, without any exception. All proposals suggesting you enter the Warp, whether or not you take refuge with the Emperor, will be the calculations of the Four Gods, and even the original."
"But precisely because your existence has triggered ripples in the entire Warp, all life that relies on the Warp to obtain psychic power will feel the existence of your uniqueness, especially those with prophetic abilities... Among the Aeldari in this world, there are a large number of Farseers. They will be the race among all races in the galaxy that first confirms your existence, and they will swarm over. Carefully choose one of them."
"The Aeldari will open their Webway for you, but this is still not safe. The Webway is a curtain area between the material and the Warp. The Four Chaos Gods are only limited by dimensions, not that they cannot break the curtain. You have seen it with your own eyes and confirmed this point. Once they know your location in the Webway, they will break it at all costs, and then catch you in the Warp. So you must be fast, fast, because you only have one chance, one chance to enter the Webway, one chance to travel faster than light through the Webway, one chance to pass under the eyes of the Four Gods."
"Using this faster-than-light passage through the Webway, you must go to a place where you can truly obtain faster-than-light travel means in the material universe... the Damasklos Sector. There, the Szarekh Dynasty led by the Necron Stormlord has almost crippled the defensive positions of the Ultramarines Legion and captured several important industrial planets in that star sector. You need to contact the Necron Stormlord there, engage in a warrior duel with it, and defeat it cleanly and neatly. Only then will it acknowledge that you have the power to talk to it, and then, reach a deal with it, giving it hope of obtaining a soul, and obtain material folding technology from the Stormlord, thereby obtaining the faster-than-light travel method of the material world."
"To make the Necrons obtain a soul, there are three key points. First, you can devour the power of the Warp by killing demons. Second, you can obtain the direction of the soul through a deal with a trace of the essence of death. Third, you can use the characteristics of the Super-Brain Heaven and Earth and your consciousness sea to extremely accelerate the time flow of the consciousness algorithm... Through the uniqueness of the above three, you have the ability to process the algorithm program into a sentient life with a soul, and you can reach a deal with the Stormlord."
The Whispering Skull said these words. When it finished speaking, the one hundred answer counts were cleared at once, and the skull returned to silence.
But Wu Pifu was completely stunned, and not just Wu Pifu, the people around him were also completely stunned. They all stared at the skull with wide eyes, and then Priest Reston roared loudly: "The Emperor protects! This must be the Emperor's protection!! The skull representing human purity has unveiled the fog of the prophecy of the future! This is the Emperor's protection for the Living Saint!"
Wu Pifu couldn't be bothered to deal with this priest. He turned to look at the three demon Primarchs and then at Inquisitor Kethia: "What do you think of this proposal? We wait in place, the Aeldari will definitely come smelling my scent, then use the Aeldari to enter the Webway, pass through the Webway quickly, go to this place called the Damasklos Sector, and then make a deal with the Necrons to obtain the faster-than-light travel method of the material universe. What do you think?"
The three demon Primarchs looked at each other, and Ma Genusi, who was best at speaking and best at psychic power, said: "That's right, the Aeldari will indeed very easily know of your existence. They are the race with the strongest psychic constitution in the material universe. At the same time, in order to avoid the Thirsty Lady, they will also do their best to predict, plan, fail, predict, plan, fail... In short, not to mention their funny success rate, they will indeed rush over as quickly as possible after discovering your existence. This point is beyond doubt."
Kethia thought for a long while and said: "I have reservations about cooperation with the Aeldari... but I have heard of the war in the Damasklos Sector. It was about eighteen years ago, not long after I became an Inquisitor, the Inquisition received a distress message from the Damasklos Sector transmitted by the High Lords of Terra. It should have been information transmitted about thirty years ago. It is said that the star sector was attacked by the Necrons, and then twenty years ago, an Ultramarines Chapter of eight hundred people was ordered to defend the star sector. If there is no error in the information in this statement, then it should refer to this war."
Wu Pifu said with a heavy expression: "It's already a war thirty years ago? Then everything will be over by the time we rush there..."
Kethia stopped speaking, and Ma Genusi couldn't help it. He laughed and mocked: "You think too highly of the current Human Empire. To them, the war information sent from a star sector thirty years ago is completely 'present tense.' Perhaps a distress message from a planet one hundred years ago is only a little late. I think if it weren't for the Ultramarines, I'm afraid the distress message from thirty years ago would still be an unread file in the government affairs pile!"
"?"
Wu Pifu subconsciously touched his neck and head, and then he asked seriously: "So you mean, the star sector might still be in war, but whether it is the Human Empire or the Ultramarines Legion among the Space Marines, they might be in a bitter battle, right?"
Everyone, including the three demon Primarchs and Kethia's group, nodded at the same time. Every person or demon's expression was serious and earnest.
Wu Pifu didn't want to talk. He felt that this world was really too fucking absurd!
At the same time, with the unprecedented Warp storm caused by the joint efforts of the Four Chaos Gods, information about Wu Pifu's existence spread throughout the Warp without the control of the Four Chaos Gods, and psykers who were good at prophecy in the entire galaxy received this information to varying degrees.
However, the Four Chaos Gods were, after all, unique existences in the Warp. They could almost be considered the manifestation of the chaos and terror of the Warp. At the same time, they also possessed great control over the Warp. So Wu Pifu's information carried their brand and traces, and even more information that they had distorted, hidden, and covered.
"Special human, Wu Pifu."
"Possesses the potential to become a Dark God!"
"Kill him, devour his existence, and you can cross the limit of the Fifth and directly become the Sixth Dark God."
"He will defeat/fail in the Warp/material universe, he will save/destroy everything, he will be the messenger of war terror/constant/eternal change/extreme pleasure/all hope..."
If a psyker's psychic power was strong enough, they would see all this information, and then be surprised at the completely contradictory and completely opposite different answers, and then fall into confusion, or even fall into the corruption of the Warp.
Only the most powerful among them, or those who were completely unafraid of Warp corruption, could find the main content in this seemingly simple but actually extremely complex and contradictory information, and interpret and learn...
Among them, the Aeldari's psychic talent was indeed the strongest in the material universe of the entire galaxy.
In the dark void outside a certain star system, a spaceship so huge it could be called the size of land stood quietly.
This was a spaceship that was different from humans in both appearance and internal structure. There were also lives inside. They treated this spaceship as a planet, a world. Everyone lived quietly inside this spaceship. The entire spaceship was a world, a completely self-sufficient life world.
Craftworld Alaitoc, the void world belonging to the Aeldari race of the galaxy's intelligent species.
The Aeldari were once the overlord civilization of the galaxy in this 0.5 Dream World, but because they were too prosperous and had no external enemies, they began to fall into infinite indulgence. And in the countless years of indulgence, they accumulated endless negativity. These negatives combined with the Warp, and from this negativity, the Fourth Warp Chaos God, Slaanesh, was born.
At the moment Slaanesh was born, the material universe was torn apart, and a passage linking the Warp and the material world was torn in the central area of the galaxy. From here, one could enter the material universe or the Warp through physical means. Its name was the Eye of Terror.
And the Aeldari who gave birth to Slaanesh, 99% of the lives in their race announced their death at the moment Slaanesh was born, and their souls fell into Slaanesh's domain, suffering eternal, difficult-to-describe and unimaginable pain and torture.
Only a very small number of Aeldari survived because they were far away from the capital, far away from indulgence and torture.
Some Aeldari survived because they were luckily in the Webway, relying on the isolation of the Webway. They retained the skills of indulgence. These Aeldari were called Drukhari.
There were also some Aeldari who were in the void of the universe, relying on exercises and self-control similar to ascetics, and they also survived. And the technological spaceship Craftworld they lived in became their home. These were called Craftworld Aeldari.
At this very moment, in Craftworld Alaitoc, in a psychic cage, a male Aeldari wearing tattered Farseer clothes suddenly opened his eyes, and he shouted loudly.
"Someone come! Come quickly, let me go! I have seen the future, I have seen hope, I have seen the savior of our Aeldari race!!"
This voice was loud and roaring, accompanied by strong psychic power. The Aeldari guards at the door immediately rolled their eyes and fainted, and this psychic power spread rapidly, almost sweeping half of the Craftworld.
This male Aeldari immediately felt that his projection in the Warp was unstable, and vaguely a demon noticed his location, which scared him to immediately start stabilizing his psychic power and stop the roar, but his expression was still extremely anxious.
After a while, a female Aeldari wearing exquisite clothes and an incomparably beautiful appearance came to the cage with four guards.
"Yvraine, are you trying to attract the great enemy of our race!?" the female Aeldari shouted sternly.
The Aeldari named Yvraine immediately shook his head and said: "No, great Farseer of Craftworld Alaitoc, please forgive my impulse. It is really because I have seen the future, seen hope, and seen the savior of our race! The real one, not the one like the God of Death that requires the sacrifice of the vast majority of our race, the real savior!!"
The female Aeldari was silent for a long while. She stared at Yvraine and said: "You liar full of lies, you are more suitable to be a clown than a Farseer. You actually intended to steal the Crystal Farseer from our world. Do you know what this means?"
Yvraine said anxiously: "These are all minor matters, we should immediately..."
The female Aeldari roared low and said seriously: "Shut up, liar, you are a liar. I knew this from the messages of many compatriots long ago. They all said that not a single word in your words is credible. Yes, you are a liar, but... I have also seen this prophecy of the future!"
"I saw that human, that human who can become one of the Dark Gods of the Warp—no, is absolutely able to become one of the Dark Gods. The Four Chaos Gods covet him, each one is eager to get him, and he may even destroy those four, including our great enemy. Yes, I saw it too, so..."
The female Aeldari stared at Yvraine seriously for a long while, and then she said: "I decided to believe you, this liar, once, just once..."
"I will raise all the armed forces of the Alaitoc world, open the soul circuit, start the twin psychic Titans, and open the long-sealed secret Webway that only I know, to go to the savior's side as quickly as possible. And you..."
"Guide us through the risks of this journey, use all your strength, use all your life, use all your power, subordinates, relationships..."
"Yvraine, I will believe you this time, risking the lives of everyone in our race, for the Aeldari, for the lost gods..."
"Promise me, promise us, don't let our trust and sacrifice be in vain!!"
Yvraine was silent. He stood up straight, tidied up his tattered Farseer clothes, patted the dust on his face and body, and performed the highest etiquette of the Aeldari race with his best appearance.
"I have accepted this promise. If I violate it, I will be cast into the domain of Slaanesh..."
"Eternal torture, never to be reborn!"
