Chapter 305
Listening to Zhou Yun's words, Cegorach's expression suddenly became more serious.
"What are you trying to imply?" He asked in a low voice.
Looking at Cegorach's expression, Zhou Yun knew that He must have had the same guess as himself.
"Let's review the two prophecies about Ynnead. When the last soul of the last Aeldari returns to the Infinity Circuit, Ynnead will be born from the death of the Aeldari."
"When the five Crone Swords gather, Ynnead will wake up... Is there a possibility that this is actually the same prophecy?"
"Just like if the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang stands up from the Golden Wang Zuo, He will become the Dark King, bringing death to humanity."
"The true face of the prophecy is that if the five Crone Swords are gathered and Ynnead, formed by the pure Aeldari souls in the Infinity Circuit, is truly born in this world, the Aeldari will also face complete destruction. All Aeldari souls will flow into the Infinity Circuit, gathering in Ynnead's body, allowing Ynnead to ascend."
This is a guess Zhou Yun had a long time ago.
The Crone Swords themselves come from the finger bones of the Aeldari Crone God Morai-Heg.
This Aeldari god who manages souls and destiny induced Khaine to cut off His five fingers, and Vaul, the god of smithing, forged the five fingers into five Crone Swords.
Yvraine believes that as long as the five Crone Swords are gathered, Ynnead can be truly born in the Warp and destroy Slaanesh... And the Aeldari don't need to pay the price of the destruction of the entire race.
But the power of the Crone Swords comes directly from Morai-Heg, Khaine, and Vaul. Two of the three were easily swallowed by Slaanesh, and one was broken into pieces. How could their power possibly allow Ynnead to obtain the power to defeat Slaanesh?
So Zhou Yun's guess is that the Crone Swords are the condition for waking up Ynnead, and when Ynnead is awakened and born, it will be like when the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang stands up from the throne, causing the entire Aeldari race to move toward complete destruction.
At that time, Ynnead's power will penetrate time, and all the deaths of the Aeldari from ancient times to the present will become His power. He is the incarnation of the destruction of this once great race. It is indeed possible to defeat Slaanesh, who was born in the lust of the Aeldari.
And Cegorach in front of him must have this guess in his heart and also have concerns about Ynnead.
"This is just your guess." Cegorach's face no longer had a smile, and His voice was low and heavy.
"That's why I brought this." Zhou Yun showed the ring and cross in front of him to Cegorach.
"This is the Right-Wrong Divination Machine. Things judged as correct by it must be correct."
Zhou Yun said slowly:
"After Ynnead gathers the five Crone Swords and is resurrected, the Aeldari will all move toward death, and their souls will return to the Infinity Circuit."
The moment Zhou Yun's voice fell, the red ring jumped up into the air, shook a few times, and confirmed that what Zhou Yun said was correct.
Cegorach laughed dumbly and couldn't help but ask back: "I know you have many magical items, but just relying on such a ring whose effect cannot be proven, a ring that may be controlled by you——————"
Before He finished speaking, His expression stagnated slightly.
Cegorach had always been paying attention to the fate of the Aeldari.
That is a fate that is a mess and constantly weakening, a fate pointed out by the last prophecy of the Crone God Morai-Heg before coming to death.
In the past ten thousand years, that fate had never changed, but at this moment, the mess of fate before Cegorach suddenly became neat.
With the present as the anchor point, the fate before Cegorach split into two strands.
One strand extended out and dispersed into a mess again, making people unable to see clearly.
The other strand broke, melted, and was destroyed in the near future...
Cegorach saw it. The second strand of fate that ushered in destruction was... was the future of Ynnead's birth.
In that future, Ynnead rose amidst the wails of all Aeldari, the Infinity Circuits on all Craftworlds solidified into His body, and countless Aeldari souls roared in the circuits...
Subsequently, Ynnead and Slaanesh intertwined, and the future of the Aeldari came to an abrupt end at this moment.
Cegorach couldn't laugh anymore.
"Things judged as correct by it must be correct" turned out to mean this!
Directly anchoring the future, making the possibilities of the future converge.
It's not because the future must be like this that it is judged as correct.
It is because it is judged as correct that the future is forced to be like this.
This kind of item, this kind of power, what do you want the Lord of Change to do?!
Cegorach restrained His smile again and looked at Zhou Yun.
"I saw that future. If Ynnead is resurrected, the Aeldari will indeed move toward death."
"But I had guessed this long ago. With Ynnead, the Aeldari at least have a chance to perish with Slaanesh."
"Don't say such things, Clown God." Zhou Yun looked at Cegorach, knowing that he had pushed the balance in His heart: "I know what your final laugh is. You never intended to really let Ynnead be born, let the Aeldari be destroyed, and perish with Slaanesh."
"You planned an extremely ironic ending. To prevent Ynnead's birth, Slaanesh will have to protect a part of the Aeldari and become the protector of the Aeldari..."
"The irony of the final laugh lies not only in Slaanesh protecting the Aeldari, but also in the fact that Cegorach, who hates Slaanesh the most in this galaxy, simply can't bear to use the sacrifice of the Aeldari to launch revenge against Slaanesh."
"In your heart, the Aeldari are more important than revenge... As long as the Aeldari can survive, even if this survival is being kept in captivity by Slaanesh and completely losing the future, you can still abandon complete revenge for this."
This is the contradiction between Cegorach and Ynnead.
Ynnead longs to be born and then kill Slaanesh to take revenge. The destruction of the Aeldari can be accepted in it. He is closer to the incarnation of the Aeldari's desire for revenge and destruction.
Cegorach is the opposite. He only treats Ynnead as a deterrent to Slaanesh. In His heart, the survival of the Aeldari is more important than revenge. He is actually the incarnation of the Aeldari's continuation and desire for survival.
The two will eventually have contradictions, just barely cooperating now.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun reached out to Cegorach and said with a smile:
"Cegorach, you claim to be a clown and a player, posing as frivolous, but I know you are one of the few Aeldari worthy of respect."
"If humanity wants to cooperate with the Aeldari, I think it is better to cooperate with you... Of course, this depends on whether you are willing to choose a better future."
"A better future for the Aeldari than the final laugh you planned."
"This depends on your offer." Cegorach's mouth cracked into a smile.
He vaguely saw that in the future where Ynnead was not born, at the end of that mess, the Aeldari seemed to be blessed by some kind of light...
Cegorach was ready to exert His ability as the God of Trickery to fight for more benefits for the Aeldari.
As the one with the best mouth among the Aeldari gods, Cegorach is the best negotiation master among all Aeldari.
This is His advantage. Zhou Yun seems to have no power and symbol of negotiation and deception.
"Let's talk about the details of cooperation." Cegorach said with a smile and confidence.
Zhou Yun nodded slightly, and then put his hand on the Anywhere Door and pushed it open gently.
Opposite the Anywhere Door, Luo Bote Guilliman was buried in a pile of documents. He noticed the Anywhere Door opening in front of him and raised his slightly tired face.
"Looks like it's my turn?" He stood up, walked into the Anywhere Door, and stood in front of Cegorach.
"This is my negotiation representative." Zhou Yun pointed his hand at Guilliman and said with a smile.
The confidence in Cegorach's smile faded.
If there is anyone in the galaxy who makes Cegorach feel afraid as a negotiation master, Luo Bote Guilliman beside Zhou Yun is one of them.
Watching Cegorach engage in a tug-of-war with Guilliman over every bit of what the Aeldari needed to pay, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a bit bored.
Professional things should be handled by professional people. Negotiation or all government affairs are Guilliman's specialty.
Zhou Yun confidently handed over the responsibility of negotiating with Cegorach to Guilliman, and he and Sanguinius started strolling in the Black Library when they were idle.
Cegorach opened up part of the permissions for the two. In fact, according to Cegorach, He didn't fully master this Aeldari knowledge treasure house either.
"The power of the Aeldari Pantheon still remains here, including the barrier set by Asuryan. These residual powers are unwilling to accept me, the clown." Cegorach warned Zhou Yun and Sanguinius, hoping that the two would try not to touch those closed books.
Zhou Yun expressed that he would try his best.
"You and Him seem to have a pretty good compatibility." Walking between the intricate bookshelves, Sanguinius said with a smile.
"With Cegorach?" Zhou Yun couldn't help shaking his head: "How did you see that?"
"He seems to know something about you." Sanguinius said while hanging his head in thought: "This is very unusual. Maybe you didn't find it, but the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang has covered up many histories of the third millennium of humanity. Only those allowed by Him can see information related to Doraemon."
Hearing this, Zhou Yun frowned.
The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang covered up the history of the third millennium? Did He block information about Doraemon in the Warp?
But, Cegorach seems to know something about Doraemon, just not much.
"Do you think the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang sent some information to Cegorach?" Zhou Yun asked, touching his chin.
"He is the most likely one." Sanguinius said while thinking: "But if you want to know the truth, you can only go to Terra and ask Him personally."
Zhou Yun nodded slightly.
Guilliman has been resurrected. After completing the reconquest of Ultramar, the three should consider going to Terra.
"Let's not consider these for now." Sanguinius said softly: "This is the Black Library, the treasure house of knowledge in the galaxy. Let's find something valuable to take away."
Saying that, Sanguinius seemed to be guided by his own psychic power, grabbed a book from the bookshelf beside him, and stuffed it to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun glanced at the cover of the book and found that he couldn't understand the words on it, so he stuffed it into the four-dimensional pocket.
"Item Name: Book of Magnus (Copy)..."
