Chapter 127: The Primarch Celebration Preparations on Terra

The message relayed by the Astropath was the same as what Ninglu had anticipated.

He was the first to recover a lost Knight World and incorporate it into the Imperium, which greatly pleased the Emperor, who immediately realized the potential for political propaganda.

The order he issued to Ninglu was to return to Terra, where the Imperial Chancellor Malcador had already prepared a grand celebration for him.

Of course, the Emperor also considered the Primarch's unique hobbies and promised Ninglu the opportunity to enter his private treasury once more as a reward.

After Ninglu finished reading the message relayed by the Astropath, it felt as if something within his body had melted.

The digestion progress of the "Briber" Potion had reached a new node.

Ninglu nodded in satisfaction; the effort of personally conquering the Daxos Binary System had not been in vain. Not only had the Potion clearly been digested, but he had also, unsurprisingly, gained another chance to select a treasure.

The Primarch then issued the order for the fleet to sail toward the nearest Mandeville Point, with the Solar System as the destination.

Chief Apothecary Mitchell and the "Harvest Priest" Malena did not accompany him; they boarded a ship and headed for the Triken system.

Among the Junluanzhanshi who had not yet been sent to their respective Chapters, those Order Shadows who were not chosen to accompany him to the Solar System also left the Void Hunter; they would join their respective Chapters to continue expanding the Legion's sphere of influence.

During the voyage, Ninglu, sitting on the Command Throne, asked Arsena Dunn about the progress of the task assigned to him.

"How is the research on occult languages progressing?"

The Reader remained silent for a few seconds before organizing his thoughts.

"My lord, after discussing it with Thomas, I have made some discoveries."

"In the process of civilization's development, every race will, both accidentally and inevitably, discover certain words that possess mysterious power."

"The accidental aspect lies in the process of discovery, while the inevitable aspect is because most races' understanding of the universe includes more than just the scientific level; the unknown drives them to explore hidden mysteries from a supernatural perspective."

Ninglu tapped his fingers, listening to the Primarch Attendant continue.

"I sent requests to the lords of each Chapter, and they all cooperated with my actions."

"He and I, after collecting, summarizing, and analyzing them from numerous Xenos races and civilizations, searched for those special vocabularies."

"Currently, there has been good progress; I have found 51,940 words from the languages of twenty-nine races, and the analysis is now complete."

After the Reader finished reporting the progress, he stated his next plan.

"I think this trip to Terra will yield significant gains. As far as I know, in addition to High Gothic, there are many other languages from different civilizations, and I will gain something from them."

"I think by the time I return, I should be able to create some fragmented words, and then attempt to combine them into sentences."

"Well done, continue according to your own line of thought."

Ninglu spoke to encourage him.

Meanwhile, under the orders of the Imperial Chancellor Malcador, various departments of the Imperium began intensive preparations for the Primarch's arrival.

The populace, having received the news that the Primarch was about to arrive on Terra, were even more jubilant and excited.

The Emperor had ended the era of warlordism on Terra and initiated the magnificent "Great Crusade."

One after another, human worlds lost for thousands of years were recovered, making them feel that humanity was rising again to become the race that dominated the galaxy.

Many Imperial citizens still remembered the grand ceremony fifteen years ago for the return of the first Emperor's Children, Horus Lupercal; that celebration had lasted for an entire month.

Now, Imperial Chancellor Malcador announced that the celebration on Terra to welcome the return of the second Primarch would also last for a month.

The people of Terra, who were working heavily for the "Great Crusade," were also told good news: from the day the Primarch arrived on Terra, they would receive a three-day holiday.

For four whole months, the biggest topic for the people of Terra was the upcoming Eleventh Primarch.

As they inquired about every piece of news regarding the Primarch from those around them, the Imperium's propaganda Machine also began to spin at a Rapid pace, and Ninglu's battle achievements were widely publicized.

"Primarch Ninglu, before being recovered by the Emperor, had already unified the entire Vostonia system; he crushed Xenos pirates, built model Hive Cities, and led the people of the system to prosperity."

"..."

"In the year 813, Primarch Ninglu discovered the Triken system and expelled the evil Xenos entrenched there, adding five habitable worlds with beautiful environments and rich mineral resources to the Imperium."

"In the year 814, Primarch Ninglu discovered the lost human colony of the Daxos Binary System; he personally met with the Vickstrix Family, and the first Knight World pledged its loyalty to the Imperium."

"..."

The audio channels of Terra played the Primarch's achievements on a loop, and as time passed, they continued to increase.

In places like Hive City parks and taverns, either affiliated with the official authorities or folk artists who keenly grasped the opportunity, they vividly recounted his legendary deeds to the public.

Every storyteller's version had more or less differences.

According to incomplete statistics from the Imperial propaganda department, there were 33,911 different versions of the duel between the Primarch and the Knight King in the Daxos Binary System alone.

The public discussed which version was true with great relish, arguing endlessly over it.

"Listen to me, the Primarch swung his sword once, and the ten-meter-tall Knight Mech was cut in half at the waist."

"The truth is, the Primarch leaped into the air and kicked the chest of the Daxuos Glory, and the Knight Mech slammed heavily into the ground; it is said that it crushed a hilltop."

"No, no, no, what others say is all fake. The Primarch didn't even make a move; he just glanced at the Knight King, and he couldn't withstand the pressure, kneeling down to pledge loyalty to the Emperor's son."

"..."

At the meeting of the Administration, after Malcador finished listening to the report, a faint smile could not help but appear on his aged face, and he issued orders in an orderly manner.

"The Xinggang must be prepared; ready a separate berth for the Primarch, and the music and etiquette of the honor guard must not go wrong."

"The security forces must ensure that the crowds on both sides of the main road to the Imperial Palace who want to catch a glimpse of the Primarch do not fall into chaos, and prevent crowding and stampede accidents before they happen."

"The banquet department must ensure that the food and wine are primarily of Vostonia taste, while also preparing other flavors from various ethnic groups."

"..."

As always, Malcador was meticulous, paying attention to every detail of the Primarch's return and issuing orders to the relevant personnel one by one.

Time passed day by day, and in November of 816, Malcador received news that the Primarch's Void Hunter had jumped out from the Underworld Gate—a star gate built during the "Golden Age" near Pluto.

On the 11th day of November, the Void Hunter arrived at the Xinggang of Terra.

The celebration to welcome the Primarch's return officially began!
