Chapter 345: Guilliman thinks he is a materialist
"So, what is called the Warp essence of a Primarch?" Guilliman looks at Sanguinius and Zhou Yun, bewildered and confused.
His eyes are full of confusion, as if he completely cannot understand why a Primarch would be linked to the Warp, and why the essence of a Primarch would be in the Warp.
Zhou Yun and Sanguinius look at each other, both with deep difficulty in their eyes.
The Warp is an idealistic world, and everything about the Warp is linked to will and reality.
Just as Mortarion firmly believes in numerology, so his own Warp power makes numerology effective in his hands.
If a Primarch firmly believes from the bottom of his heart that he has nothing to do with the Warp, then his own Warp power will make him truly isolated from the Warp.
Of course, this should be impossible by all accounts. Primarchs all have strong Warp potential, and their Warp parts are just as important as their flesh parts.
By all accounts, even those Primarchs who are least adept at psyker powers should be able to mobilize their own power by instinct, just like Perturabo's innate knowledge, Konrad Curze's prophetic ability, and Sanguinius's wings.
These talents clearly exceed the level that their superhuman genes can reach, and even exceed the limitations of physical laws. Most Primarchs should have noticed their non-material universe nature during their growth or long lives.
Even Mortarion only tried to use numerology to explain his own characteristics, rather than completely denying it.
But... but perhaps because of the education Guilliman received, Guilliman seems to have truly never realized that he is linked to the Warp.
Zhou Yun and Sanguinius exchange thoughts silently, deciding to explain it to Guilliman slightly.
After all, the three of them should be an alliance of one, and most information should not be hidden from each other.
"The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang used his own gene sequence to shape the gene templates of twenty-one Primarchs, and relied on the editing of these twenty-one templates to create twenty-one sons with extraordinary power."
"But material strength alone is not enough. The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang also needed to inject power from the Warp into his sons."
Zhou Yun weighs his words, telling Guilliman the information he knows:
"Long before the Primarchs were truly born, the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang obtained twenty kinds of Warp existences in the Warp. Those were the unborn Primarchs, the power of twenty non-ordinary spiritual realms."
"I am not sure if our father truly knew the essence of those twenty kinds of power." Sanguinius supplements softly: "Those might be the remnants of ancient gods of humanity, might be the old gods of other civilizations, might be some powerful existences born in the future, or might be the echoes produced by the emotions and will of certain groups of people in the Warp..."
"But regardless of the essence of those twenty kinds of Warp existences, we were existences on that side of the Warp before we were born. Then the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang used his gene sequence to shape our material universe bodies, and the twenty worlds we scattered to further shaped us, letting us inherit the values, thoughts, kindness, and even cruelty, distortion, and flaws of those who raised us, whether human or non-human."
Sanguinius spreads his arms slightly, showing Guilliman his near-perfect body:
"We were thus given humanity, we were thus shaped as humans, but it cannot be denied that on a level deeper than the soul, on the level of concepts, we are from the Warp."
"Most of the time we just mobilize our power unconsciously, trying to use instinct, superstition, and knowledge to utilize this power that originally belonged to us. But if we can recognize our posture before we were born in the material universe, and realize our duties and essence, it can make the true existence belonging to the Warp beneath our human representations manifest."
"So, Father forgot me when he was injecting Warp power into us? Or did he deliberately omit me?" Guilliman says, pinching his chin.
"..." Sanguinius and Zhou Yun let out confused cries at the same time.
"Isn't this right? We have twenty-one brothers, and Father only took twenty kinds of Warp existences. Clearly, one person was not injected with Warp essence, only a pure material body."
Guilliman says confusedly:
"Obviously, I am the only Primarch who was not injected with Warp essence. This can also explain why you all have psyker potential or other supernatural powers, while I don't."
"..." Zhou Yun blinks confusedly, then looks at Sanguinius.
Sanguinius also blinks, then looks at Zhou Yun confusedly.
Neither of them followed Guilliman's train of thought.
The reason there are twenty Warp essences and twenty-one Primarchs is because the twentieth Primarch is a twin Primarch, Alpharius and Omegon sharing one existence, not because the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang omitted Guilliman.
Sanguinius looks at Guilliman silently.
From the perspective of the Warp, the Guilliman in Sanguinius's eyes is a storm of blue and gold interwoven, roaring and carrying some kind of sense of order.
He cannot say what that is, but there is no doubt that Guilliman is absolutely not special; he also has a Warp essence just like other Primarchs.
Sanguinius opens his mouth slightly, wanting to explain, but Zhou Yun opens his mouth a step ahead of him.
"Yes, yes, you are right." Zhou Yun nods repeatedly to Guilliman, then gives Sanguinius a look, signaling that there is no need to explain anymore.
How can this be explained? If this could be explained, Perturabo wouldn't have to be so twisted, Curze's mental illness could be cured, and Angron's nails could be pulled out.
"Let's talk about Ma Genusi's problem."
Sanguinius sighs and changes the topic:
"Ma Genusi's essence might be in the *Book of Ma Genusi*, or it is the *Book of Ma Genusi*."
"There is no concept of time in the Warp. In the material universe, it was Ma Genusi who wrote the *Book of Ma Genusi*, but in the Warp, it was the *Book of Ma Genusi* that promoted Ma Genusi's birth." "Everything in that book has been activated, and those about Ma Genusi himself have also been activated. That is a more complete, more powerful, and more essential existence than the Ma Genusi active in the Warp today."
"If we can cause damage to the *Book of Ma Genusi*, perhaps we can wound Ma Genusi's existence itself, and even make him unable to enter the reality universe for a long time, just like Fulgrim."
"Or even better, we can sell Ma Genusi to Zhou Yun."
"How exactly did you discover these?" Guilliman asks with a frown.
Zhou Yun also casts a curious gaze, asking Sanguinius how he discovered such important information.
Zhou Yun even has a copy of the *Book of Ma Genusi* taken from the Black Library. According to the appraisal of the four-dimensional pocket, this copy and the *Book of Ma Genusi* body are connected... If he relies on a few props, Zhou Yun can really enter the *Book of Ma Genusi* directly to find Ma Genusi's Warp essence.
Sanguinius slowly tells the short clash between himself and Ma Genusi in the Warp.
"Could this be a trick of the Lord of Change?" Guilliman raises this question.
The process by which Sanguinius discovered the location of Ma Genusi's Warp essence was too coincidental, as if the Lord of Change was waiting for him to discover it.
Zhou Yun has a copy of the *Book of Ma Genusi* taken from the Black Library, and just happened to know the information about the *Book of Ma Genusi* concerning Ma Genusi's Warp essence at a critical moment. Everything happened too smoothly.
It is hard not to suspect whether this is a trick woven by the Lord of Change, trying to lure Sanguinius, Zhou Yun, and Guilliman into a trap to decipher that dangerous *Book of Ma Genusi*.
"It is very likely, but I can almost be sure that the *Book of Ma Genusi* is Ma Genusi's essence."
!
Sanguinius's mouth flashes with a smile:
"But Tzeentch's tricks are consumed at all times, while Doraemon's props are endless."
"The history of the third millennium of humanity has long been covered up by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang. Even Tzeentch is unlikely to predict what kind of props Zhou Yun has."
"I think it's worth a try."
Guilliman still frowns.
He is not good at planning these things while adding the influence of those supernatural powers in the Warp, and his understanding of Doraemon's props is far less than Sanguinius, who had already obtained the *Doraemon* collection in the Warp.
"Too reckless. Arriving at Terra is more important than any other goal now."
"You are worried that you will be late just like ten thousand years ago." Sanguinius says flatly, as if he sees through the thoughts deep in Guilliman's heart: "Opportunities like this are precious. I think it's worth a try."
"..."
Zhou Yun, on the side, says nothing, reaching his hand into the four-dimensional pocket:
"Dang, dang, dang, dang! Right-Wrong Divination Machine!"
The red circle and the blue cross are taken out by Zhou Yun from the four-dimensional pocket.
"What are you arguing about! Why don't you ask my wonderful tool?"
Zhou Yun points to the Right-Wrong Divination Machine on the table and asks.
"Ma Genusi's Warp essence is the *Book of Ma Genusi*." Zhou Yun asks the Right-Wrong Divination Machine before him directly.
The red circle jumps up violently, flickering in the air a few times, confirming that what Zhou Yun said is correct.
It really is... Zhou Yun's eyes flash slightly. If it really is Tzeentch's conspiracy, then this bait is too fat.
Then Zhou Yun looks at Sanguinius and Guilliman.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhou Yun says with a smile:
"Why don't you hurry up and write a detailed plan each, and let my Right-Wrong Divination Machine judge it?"
Hearing this, Sanguinius looks at Guilliman with some resentment: "Sure enough, staying by your side means you can't escape overtime."
