Chapter 304

【Item Name: Map of Purgatory (Fake)】

【Origin: Webway - Black Library】

【Evaluation: The Map of Purgatory is a Webway navigation system made by Adeptus Mechanicus members trapped in the Webway during the Webway War using the skin of Sisters of Silence, but this is one of the nine fakes carefully forged by Cegorach over a hundred years. It will only guide the user to the Haemonculus Coven at the bottom of Commorragh. As the God of Trickery and one of the longest-lived and most knowledgeable beings in the galaxy, Cegorach is also a unique artifact forger, which is also one of the sources of funds for the Harlequins' daily operations.】

【Production Time: 705. M37】

【Status: Pure Aeldari craft, but it is not imaginary】

【Value: 168,000 yuan】

Zhou Yun's face turned black.

Fake, it really is a damn fake.

What kind of national treasure gang is Cegorach?! He actually forged nine such fakes!

"This is a fake." Zhou Yun said, looking at Cegorach.

Cegorach's expression stiffened, and then He turned His head sharply to look at Sylandri Veilwalker: "How did you do things!"

"I'll say it again, this is my dear friend Cegorach, and you took a fake to fool him! Sylandri, as the Laughing God, I am very disappointed in you!"

Sylandri Veilwalker pointed at herself in a daze.

Should she have taken the real one? Was it supposed to be the real one? Did the Laughing God really want to give Zhou Yun the real one?

Sylandri Veilwalker was full of question marks.

But she still ran into the library hurriedly to get the real Map of Purgatory.

Seeing Sylandri Veilwalker leave, Cegorach quickly showed a bright smile and looked at Zhou Yun.

"Sorry, sorry, I deliberately made nine fake Maps of Purgatory to prevent people from peeping at the Black Library and attract their attention."

"Sylandri Veilwalker must have taken the wrong one."

"Is the one taken away by Inquisitor Chevarc also a fake?" Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with curiosity.

Inquisitor Chevarc was an Imperial Inquisitor who had entered the Black Library. He took away the Map of Purgatory that could act as Webway navigation, but because of this, he was hunted down by the Tzeentch Chosen Ahriman. That Tzeentch Chosen had always longed to enter the Black Library.

But now it seems that the process of Chevarc taking the Map of Purgatory was too smooth, almost as if it was deliberately done by the master of the Black Library.

And the Map of Purgatory in Chevarc's hand was also attached with some kind of overly powerful anti-psychic field, almost as if it was deliberately targeting Ahriman.

"Hehe, not only do you have a pair of wise eyes, but you also know everything about the galaxy."

Cegorach bowed slightly and said without sparing any praise:

"The Map of Purgatory in Chevarc's hand is a special version I made. It not only integrates a strong anti-psychic field but also exerts my power."

"Anyone who approaches or pursues that fake will become more prone to deception, more radical in behavior, and prone to doing funny things."

"Of course, what really fooled him was not my power or forgery technology."

Speaking of this, Cegorach showed a playful smile:

"Ahriman destroyed his own legion with Rubric spells and turned his brothers into puppets trapped in armor ash cans. He longs to make up for his mistakes."

"Even if he guessed it might be fake, his heavy psychological burden made him unable to let go of any possibility."

Zhou Yun nodded approvingly.

Among the four Chosen ones, Ahriman, Khaine, Lu Xiusi, and Mortarion-Typhus, Ahriman, the Tzeentch Chosen who is a psychic lunatic, is of cliff-level strength.

But just like Khaine being placed for Angron-Typhus's revenge, the opportunity to reverse the Rubric is also Ahriman's weakness.

As long as there is an opportunity to reverse the Rubric, this Chosen one who should be full of wisdom will abandon his brain and try at all costs.

On the contrary, Lu Xiusi and Typhus have no weaknesses because they are shameless.

After a while, Sylandri Veilwalker came to Zhou Yun holding a big book almost identical to the one just now.

Zhou Yun took the thick big book with a metal cover and stuffed it into the four-dimensional pocket...

【Item Name: Map of Purgatory】

【Origin: Terra - Palace Webway】

【Evaluation: A Webway navigation system made by Adeptus Mechanicus members trapped in the Webway after the Webway War, made using the skin of Sisters of Silence. The Sister of Silence who sacrificed herself voluntarily never died on a physiological level, and her flesh and skin still have physiological activity and are undergoing blood circulation. The complex arteries, veins, and capillaries on it symbolize the labyrinthine path of the Webway.】

【Production Time: 018. M31】

【Status: Still maintaining physiological activity】

【Value: 13,000,000】

This time it's the real thing.

Zhou Yun's eyes moved slightly, took out this thick book from the four-dimensional pocket, and gently opened the metal cover.

Exposed to Zhou Yun were layers of skin and flesh stretched to near transparency, with blood vessels densely intertwined, like a labyrinth.

These skin and flesh even maintained their temperature, trembling gently in Zhou Yun's hand, and a pump-like device on the spine was supplying oxygen to them...

A layer of goosebumps couldn't help but rise on Zhou Yun's body, not because of the appearance of this Map of Purgatory, but because the moment he touched these flesh pages, Zhou Yun felt like he had touched a void.

This sense of void made him slightly uncomfortable... Clearly, the Sister of Silence who was sacrificed to be made into this Webway map still maintained physiological activity, and her nature as a Blank always played a role.

Seeming to feel Zhou Yun's touch, the blood vessels on it suddenly began to change, weaving with each other, as if the Webway was being woven in the Warp.

"Terra." Zhou Yun said to the Map of Purgatory with constantly changing blood vessels.

The blood vessels on the Map of Purgatory gradually took shape, and scars appeared on the skin, revealing patterns, markings, and words.

The Solar System, the Solar System that Zhou Yun was once very familiar with, was outlined by scars on the skin, and the positions of planets and stars were roughly marked.

The blood vessels extended toward the Solar System, gathered into a door on the moon, and a blood vessel struggled to spread toward Terra, but it was always broken at the last moment before touching, and internal bleeding spread at the position of Terra.

There was only a void in touch, but from the blood vessel constantly spreading toward Terra, Zhou Yun seemed to vaguely feel some kind of emotion, some kind of resonance.

Home... let me return to your side...

Terra... Terra... Hua Hua Hua Di Huang...

My hometown... humanity's hometown...

The broken voice seemed to ring in Zhou Yun's ears, it seemed to be one person's voice, and it seemed to be the chorus of many people.

Zhou Yun's heart jumped gently, and some emotion in his heart resonated with the Map of Purgatory.

I don't know what the group of Adeptus Mechanicus and Sisters of Silence trapped in the Webway experienced, and where they got this kind of incredible technology.

They might have experienced a long journey in the Webway. The sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus racked their brains to find a way to navigate in the Webway. A Sister of Silence voluntarily offered her body and became the Map of Purgatory, the first Webway navigation of humanity.

The Map of Purgatory is not a map to purgatory, but a compass to escape purgatory.

But in the end, they still failed, unable to return to the Terra they were thinking about day and night, falling in the Webway.

This precious Map of Purgatory thus entered the Black Library.

Zhou Yun reached out and placed his hand on the position of Terra on the Map of Purgatory.

"I will take you back." He promised softly: "I will take you home."

"Back to Terra, back to Earth, back to our hometown."

For a time, the sense of void on the Map of Purgatory seemed to disappear a lot, and those voices no longer rang in Zhou Yun's ears.

But there was still some emotion in it, which was worry, asking about the current situation of the Empire.

"Sanguinius has returned." Zhou Yun said softly, and in an instant, the uneasy emotion conveyed by the Map of Purgatory almost disappeared.

"Robert Guilliman has returned." He added.

Uneasy emotions surged in it again, telling Zhou Yun to be vigilant about Guilliman's ambition and the like...

The corners of Zhou Yun's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"This." Cegorach had been observing Zhou Yun's reaction. He hesitated for a while before opening his mouth: "Since I have already offered the Map of Purgatory to you, do you see if you still have..."

"What do you mean by offer? This Map of Purgatory is clearly the property of our humanity. I haven't settled the account with you for stealing our human property!" Zhou Yun stuffed the Map of Purgatory into the four-dimensional pocket.

Cegorach opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt that what Zhou Yun said seemed to make sense and was completely irrefutable.

This Webway navigation, the Map of Purgatory, is different from the Aeldari's Labyrinth Codex.

The Labyrinth Codex is a Webway map recorded bit by bit by the Aeldari over a long period of time, while the Map of Purgatory is a navigation system completely created by humanity itself. The two are not the same thing.

But Zhou Yun didn't put too much pressure on Cegorach, but slowed down his tone and said in a persuasive tone:

"I want to talk to you about Ynnead."

"You should know that the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, me, and Ynnead essentially belong to the domain of erosion and destruction, and my occupation of the domain of erosion and destruction comes entirely from the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang throwing it to me."

"The only ones who have ascended to the domain of erosion and destruction autonomously and competed for the fifth position are the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and Ynnead... Of course, it seems that if the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang wants to, He is already it."

"One of them is the true Death God of humanity, and the other is the Death God of the Aeldari."

Cegorach frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand what Zhou Yun wanted to express.

"I just want to ask the master of the Black Library with curiosity, what will happen if the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang succeeds in ascending to godhood?"

"Humanity will die, complete death." Cegorach replied: "After the Siege of Terra, the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang Himself is the totality of humanity. He is the collection of all humanity, and all human souls not plundered by the four gods gathered into Him."

"Then I ask you, how was Ynnead born?" Zhou Yun asked back with a smile.

"... Ynnead was born in the Infinity Circuit of the Aeldari Craftworld. The Infinity Circuit accommodates the souls of pure Aeldari not corrupted by Slaanesh..."

Cegorach seemed to vaguely understand what Zhou Yun was expressing.

The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and Ynnead, humanity and the Aeldari, there is some kind of correspondence between the two.

"Do you still remember the two conditions for Ynnead's resurrection in the Aeldari prophecy?"

"All Aeldari die, gather the five Crone Swords... You seem to think that as long as one of them is achieved, Ynnead can be resurrected."

Zhou Yun said while taking out a red ring and a blue cross from his pocket:

"Then do you think that according to the style of Aeldari prophecy, could these two conditions actually be one?"
