Chapter 307

"So, I held the wolf-like state of mind and stabbed the Sun God's spear at the master of humanity."

"The rational world woven by the Sun God was broken before my eyes, and that primitive and chaotic truth was displayed before me."

"Master, did you actually lead humanity into such a desperate situation?"

"Master, did you actually hand such a cruel duty to me, the one given the Sun God?"

"But I listened to your thirteen commands, knew the thirteen sins I would commit, and will complete the thirteen missions you gave me."

"I am the Custodian given the Sun God, my fate is the same and opposite to the wolf given the Wine God."

"That wolf will find the Tree of Life for you, so that you can return as a human."

"And I will find the lost true name for you, so that you can die as a human."

Reading to this point, Zhou Yun paused slightly. His tone became strange, his voice couldn't help but raise, and he read the last line of this note: "

"I am the failed guardian, I am the most despicable traitor, I am Constantin Valdor."

"I will abandon all identities and exist only in the name of the Yellow King, until I kill my master and the master of all humanity."

"May the sins I commit be despised by all living beings forever."

Sanguinius fell into silence, looking at the notebook in Zhou Yun's hand with surprise.

Zhou Yun was also slightly shocked by the content in the notebook.

This is a confession, the confession of Constantin Valdor, the Captain-General of the Custodians ten thousand years ago, written on the eve of his departure from the Empire with Russ.

Valdor used obscure and symbolic vocabulary to describe what he was going to do, but Zhou Yun understood.

The Wine God's spear and the Sun God's spear are two twin power spears forged by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang in the past.

These two spears have the same power, which is to make people see the truth.

But the power of these two spears is exactly the opposite.

The Wine God's spear will make the stabbed person see their own truth.

The Sun God's spear will make the user see the truth of the stabbed object.

The Wine God's spear was given by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang to Leman Russ, the Wolf King, while the Sun God's spear was given to Constantin Valdor, the Captain-General of the Custodians.

According to Zhou Yun's memory of his previous life,

The wolf given the Wine God clearly refers to Russ. After the Great Crusade ended, Leman Russ and Valdor had a quarrel. Shortly after, Leman Russ claimed to be looking for the so-called Tree of Life to heal the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, and then disappeared from humanity's sight.

And Valdor left the Imperial Palace almost at the same time, and his whereabouts were unknown... Now, this confession has solved the mystery for Zhou Yun and Sanguinius.

The so-called Yellow King is Constantin Valdor himself.

I don't know if it was the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's own guidance or Valdor's own decision, he stabbed the Sun God's spear at the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, and clearly saw part of the truth about the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, and possibly accepted the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's orders to a certain extent.

An order exactly opposite to Russ's mission.

Leman Russ will look for the Tree of Life, so that the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang can be resurrected in the material universe as a human.

And Constantin is looking for the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's lost true name, so that he can let the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang die as a human.

"Constantin Valdor, he is one of the people who accompanied the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang the longest, longer than us Primarchs."

Sanguinius's tone rarely mixed with some complexity:

"In a sense, he is also our brother, the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's child."

Zhou Yun nodded in agreement.

Constantin Valdor was the first Custodian completed by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, the template for all future Custodians, the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's left hand. He followed the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang to fight as early as the Unification Wars of Terra, witnessed the Empire moving from Terra to the stars, and fell to Horus on the *Vengeful Spirit*.

And now he has taken on the task of killing the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang. Presumably, the psychological pressure on him is also great.

The text used in this notebook is protected by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's power. In theory, it will almost never be leaked.

But if Constantin Valdor's mission is completed and the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang dies, this confession will also become content that can be interpreted.

Constantin Valdor longs for his sins to be despised.

But in Zhou Yun's view, Constantin Valdor and Leman Russ are like insurance prepared by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang.

If Leman Russ fails and other plans also fail, then Constantin Valdor, who has found the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's true name, will become the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's final executioner, preventing the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang from becoming the Dark King and bringing complete destruction to all humanity.

However, compared to Constantin Valdor's confession, Zhou Yun cares more about some practical things...

For example, the back of this notebook records Constantin Valdor's training on spells.

That kind of magical language that can distort the reality of the universe without relying on psychic power is something Zhou Yun is naturally extremely interested in.

Then Zhou Yun saw that after the two pages of confession, the whole thick notebook was filled with small regular script recording knowledge about spells.

But such a thick notebook only recorded three spells.

The first spell is the simplest, and its meaning roughly includes "harm", "equivalence", and "pain".

Zhou Yun simply understood it. The effect seems to be that the user himself suffers a certain amount of damage, and the object affected by the spell will also suffer equivalent damage.

This spell contains a total of six syllables, but each syllable contains more than 7,000 specific frequencies. Each frequency must be spat out in a specific order and rhythm within a specific time. There can be no stuttering in the middle. The connection between syllables, frequencies, and words must be smooth and perfect.

Superimposed on each other, the changes that may be produced are rising exponentially. Just remembering the correct pronunciation is challenging the limits of the human brain.

What's more, from the moment the first sound is made, the user's throat will be under great pressure.

Without a powerful body, it is impossible to persist until the complete spell is recited.

As for the other two spells,

The second contains "essence", "curse", and "contact". After using this spell, as long as any part of the enemy is injured, even hair, nails, eyelashes, or dander that have left the body, it can directly bypass all defense means and directly cause damage to the opponent's essence. However, its complexity and changes are far better than the first spell.

The third spell contains "imitation", "reproduction", and "similarity". The complexity of this spell makes Zhou Yun's head big when looking at it. Its function is about using this spell to reproduce the events of the past with similar results through similar causes, but Zhou Yun didn't fully understand it.

"The third spell is the most powerful."

Sanguinius made a judgment after listening to Zhou Yun's description:

"This spell can ignore specific time-space conditions and force similar causes to achieve similar results."

"For example, 'Sanguinius dies after boarding the *Vengeful Spirit*'. Boarding the *Vengeful Spirit* is the cause, and my death is the result."

"Using this spell can skip the conditions for achieving this cause and effect. As long as you board the *Vengeful Spirit*, you will directly face the result of death, even if Horus is not waiting on it."

"Logically speaking, the higher the similarity between cause and effect, the more powerful the effect should be."

"However, this complexity..." Sanguinius looked at the content recorded in the notebook and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Such a complex and changeable technology that will cause irreversible damage to the throat, no wonder it is only used by immortals most of the time."

Zhou Yun understood what Sanguinius meant.

These three spells are very powerful, one forcibly causes damage, one ignores all defenses, and one can directly distort cause and effect.

But the disadvantage is that the training difficulty is too high. Just recording these complex and cumbersome pronunciation methods and reciting them without a word wrong is not something mortals can do.

In addition, spells have an impact on the fluency of recitation, but it happens that from the moment the first syllable is recited, the spell will cause damage to the throat. Without a throat with strong recovery power, it is almost impossible to train.

After going back and forth, the people who can learn this stuff normally seem to be only Primarchs, immortals, or Custodians. It is difficult for others to learn...

I can only say that brother, your spells are indeed powerful, but they are still too operation-intensive.

Wait, memory, the ability to fluently recite complex syllables, and a throat that can withstand high pressure...

Zhou Yun couldn't help reaching out and touching his chin.

Some brothers have it, some have it! These seem to be there!

He seems to have a way...

"Guilliman has finished the negotiation."

Just when Zhou Yun was thinking, Sanguinius suddenly said.

The two turned their heads and walked toward the original position.

Then they saw an extremely wide wooden table placed in the original place, covered with piles of paper documents.

Cegorach sat opposite Guilliman with a pair of slightly funny small glasses, holding a pen, and signing His name on stacks of documents with a lifeless and dull face.

For some reason, a heartbreaking sense of corporate slave appeared on His body, as if He had been infected by Guilliman.

The current Cegorach doesn't look like the Laughing God, but rather like a bitter Ultramarine pulled by Guilliman to handle chores.

"Cegorach, we still have 169 documents, 2,197 supplementary documents, and 28,000 supplementary treaties formulated to eliminate ambiguity. In addition, these documents are best in triplicate, one for your Black Library, one for my Ptolemy Library, and one to be sent to Terra later."

"Of course, I hope you understand that these treaties are signed with you based on the authority I represent the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang. Now that I have not been truly granted the power as the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's agent, most of the parts about human obligations in the documents will have to wait until I meet the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang before starting."

"Of course, as the only god of the Aeldari who has independent behavioral ability, I think I can assume that you have the power to represent the entire Aeldari. I believe the Aeldari will not encounter the same obstacles as me when fulfilling their obligations."

Guilliman's mouth was like a bolter with a happy machine spirit, constantly outputting information and new agreement content to Cegorach.

Cegorach was completely blinded.

"This can be agreed, but is it necessary for the documents to be so detailed, is it necessary to sign every clause independently?" He looked at the vast sea of documents in front of him and asked with a trembling body.

"You are probably joking." Guilliman showed a polite smile: "You are the famous Aeldari God of Trickery, the fourth greatest liar in the galaxy. Of course, signing a contract with you must be detailed."

"Come, this document has 22 supplementary documents. You sign here, here, and here."

Cegorach looked like He was going to die. His voice trembled and asked: "You shouldn't have signed a contract with me, you should have gone to Vashtorr."

Guilliman didn't know who Vashtorr was. He just showed a smile belonging to a pure political animal.

"Your insults to my mother just now have seriously hurt my feelings, and in turn hurt the feelings of the entire Ultramar and humanity."

"I think we need to sign a few more supplementary treaties as compensation for the Aeldari's injury to human feelings."
