Chapter 564: No aliens! All are humans!
"Necron... growing a machine spirit." Guilliman's face was a bit strange.
He himself had a subtle view of "machine spirits," of things that clearly had animistic colors like the soul of machines.
Guilliman did indeed occasionally perceive the existence of machine spirits, but this feeling was vague, weak, indirect, and could not directly prove the existence of machine spirits.
He also knew that many Tech-Priests didn't understand the principle of machine spirits, and their cognition of machine spirits was also at a primitive, irrational level of belief.
In other words, Guilliman's view of machine spirits was closer to this being a superstition, or a Warp effect?
After all, most machines should be isolated from the Warp.
The Necrons are an example. This mechanical race is isolated from the Warp.
But now Zhou Yun told Guilliman that there is a Necron with a machine spirit.
This made Guilliman feel that his worldview had collapsed a bit, and felt that materialism did not exist again...
Guilliman sighed in his heart. It seems that materialism has often not existed since a certain time.
"I can confirm that I have traveled through the galaxy with Anrakyr for several years, and I believe Anrakyr has a soul."
Fulgrim said with a shallow smile:
"That was definitely not faked, nor was it the false emotion brought by the broken obsessions of those Necrons. That is a true soul."
"I have seen Anrakyr looking at the stars alone in the middle of the night more than once. How could a soulless and spiritless machine be attracted by the night sky?"
Guilliman did not have much trust in Fulgrim's words, he only cast his inquiring gaze at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun of course knew exactly what was going on.
In tens of thousands of simulations, he had already studied this clearly.
When he was on Ashford, he had initially established a link with the domain of Malicious Craft, and Anrakyr was born with a machine spirit because he was influenced by the domain of Malicious Craft.
The Warp reflects the emotional tides of all living beings in reality, and these emotions naturally contain all kinds of creative power, which directly formed the domain of Malicious Craft, and the domain of Malicious Craft was born from the creative power that created those machines, naturally having to include those machines.
Just like bacteria and viruses, these simple lives do not possess emotions, should not have a link with the Warp, should not produce souls.
But the fear of disease, the fear of decay, and the desire for survival are all closely related to these microorganisms. At the moment when these emotions prompted the birth of the Nurgle domain, these microorganisms naturally established a connection with the Warp and gave birth to souls.
The reason why the machine spirit is not yet a true soul is entirely because the domain of Malicious Craft has not truly been produced, and the connection between the Warp and these machines is not deep enough.
If the god of the domain of Malicious Craft is truly born, all machines in the galaxy will probably begin to have souls in the true sense.
Zhou Yun simply explained this to the three semi-Primarchs.
This made Guilliman raise his eyebrows slightly. He felt that Zhou Yun's understanding of the Warp was much deeper than before. Is this the meaning of sleep?
Sanguinius's gaze was lowered slightly, appearing a bit sad, a bit self-blaming...
"Do Necrons crave to obtain souls?" Guilliman's eyes flickered with light: "Can Anrakyr act as a representative of the Necrons to cooperate with humanity?"
Guilliman did not ask if Trazyn could represent the Necrons. He had heard some deeds of Trazyn from Cawl and knew that Trazyn was loathed by everyone in the Necron internal circles.
"A large part of them do crave to obtain souls."
Zhou Yun nodded and admitted:
"Most Necrons regard themselves as the former Necrontyr. From their perspective, they were suddenly poured into this cold mechanical body, lost true perception of all things, and only boundless emptiness remained in their minds."
"They crave the warmth of the living, crave souls to fill themselves, and want to reverse the biological conversion and change back to Necrontyr... because they now find that compared to a short life with taste, the empty and lonely cold eternity is more tormenting."
"And I happen to have the ability to grant them souls."
Zhou Yun's words made the people present feel a shock, as if they saw hope.
But Zhou Yun quickly poured a basin of cold water on them: "If it were a few hundred years ago, Anrakyr could indeed represent some Necrons, but now he cannot."
"The Silent King, if nothing else, does have some ability in internal political struggle. Anrakyr's political power has basically been dissolved by the Silent King."
"What about the Silent King himself? Is there a possibility of cooperation with us?" Guilliman asked with a frown.
"There is some, but... you don't understand the Silent King." Sanguinius hesitated and said: "I established a certain degree of friendship with the Silent King ten thousand years ago."
"Ah?" Fulgrim exclaimed without covering it up.
Lion and Guilliman also looked at Sanguinius in unison, a bit unbelievable.
You, who have thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually colluded with aliens secretly??
Even if you colluded, it was actually one of the top big figures among aliens like the Silent King??
Even if you colluded with the Silent King, you actually kept silent and hid it from everyone??
Sanguinius! What a deep heart!
Lion put his hand on the table, looked up slightly and stared at Sanguinius. He opened his mouth and was about to speak——————
"Lion, I hope you think about how to explain the Dark Watchers on Caliban before you speak." Zhou Yun interrupted Lion before he spoke.
Lion's expression froze when he heard this, and he held back the words that reached his mouth. Then he was silent for a while before saying: "I understand Sanguinius. Not every Legion has no secrets like the First Legion."
Guilliman's mouth twitched because of Lion's words, but he was also a little depressed. Ten thousand years ago, you had a friendship with the Silent King? What about the Second Empire period? Did you still keep in touch? And the Pharos beacon back then was a relic of the Necrons. Did the Silent King participate in the back of this matter?
For a time, many suspicions popped up in Guilliman's mind, and he began to guess what Sanguinius and the Silent King had done together.
