Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"Faced with this temptation, theoretically, there are only two roads to take. One road is called the road of transcendence. Psychic power wants to control you and make you its slave. Naturally, you also have the opportunity to completely control psychic power, surpass it, and dominate it. In the history of tens of thousands of years, there are people who can truly see through the essence of psychic power and completely control it, but there are very few people who can complete this road of transcendence. The most famous one is our sacred emperor. Naturally, we cannot compare with the sacred emperor. It is almost impossible to completely control the psychic power that is difficult to explore and hides many secrets of the universe. Just think about it. In the history of tens of thousands of years, countless psychics have lived in it, but there are no more than one person who can truly complete the road of transcendence. So most of us psychics, There is another path, that is the path of resistance. "

"The path of resistance?"

"It is similar to the path of the Eldar, but the Eldar people use the path to devote themselves to the art of killing, without time to care about other things, so as to avoid their emotional fluctuations. Being killed by the enemy lacks real bitter hatred, and killing the enemy does not bring excitement. They use the path to shield their emotions and turn themselves into a robot with flesh and blood, so that they can naturally avoid being tempted by psychic power and demons. But we don't need this. We human psychics only need to build up mental defenses, and gradually improve and strengthen them, so that we can resist the temptation of psychic power in most cases. Although the temptation still exists, it will be a very slow process. "

"But no matter how slowly, we are still gradually falling, just like struggling in a quagmire. No matter how you struggle, you will eventually sink into the quagmire. Is that right?"

"Yes, just like everyone will die, as long as they live long enough, every psychic will eventually fall."

Li Anjie asked: "Unless he surpasses."

Jacob nodded and said: "Yes, unless he surpasses."

"I understand," Li Anjie suddenly realized, "Is this a lesson, your father asked you to do it?"

"Even if your father didn't say it, there would be such a lesson, but the environment at that time would not be as good as it is now. There would be few opportunities for you to personally feel the power gradually increasing, until the opportunity to clearly feel the surging power in the end," Jacob said with a smile: "Your father is not a simple person , we have to work for him and judge the stability of the space barrier; we can also use this power to attack the orcs; and finally, this is also a learning course. He didn't miss any advantage, and he took all the good things. And you, you should understand your position. You are just a rookie. Although countless people may have praised your qualifications, psychics are different from others. The better your qualifications, the more precious your psychic power is, and the more terrifying its power is, and the more attractive it is to you. You just used the quagmire as an analogy, which is very good. If the general psychic is trapped in an ordinary quagmire and is just slowly sinking, then you are trapped in a super large quagmire. At the moment you understand it, the muddy water has submerged from your ankles to your neck. "

"I, have been submerged to the neck?"

"If you don't know yourself, if your mind has been blinded by a powerful force, then you are already deep in the quagmire, almost a dead person. Fortunately, you have good talent, especially your character, and you are not too stupid. You finally understand that something is wrong. Besides, you have a good teacher like me by your side, so you don't have to worry too much. "

"So, Master, what should I do?"

"Continue to feel this power. The orcs are still attacking fiercely. You will need to go to the battlefield later. Defeat all the orcs you see, save the humans, and then come back here and tell me how you feel. "

"I understand. "

After a while, Li Anjie walked out. The orc army inevitably fell into an inexplicable civil strife again. The orcs once again ignored the human shrimps. The orcs and orcs began to fight each other again. With the experience of the last time, the fighting speed of these orcs this time was obviously faster than the last time. The orcs did not say anything. They were like the murderers of their fathers. Without saying a word, they began to put their kind to death with red eyes.

When Li Anjie returned to the room, she sighed and said with a little pride: "Master, I am much better this time. I successfully controlled that emotion. I didn't..." Before she finished speaking, she felt the same in the air, and a more turbulent and wonderful feeling surrounded her.

She looked at Jacob in astonishment. Jacob nodded and said, "Your sense is indeed sharp. The third nuclear bomb exploded. The barrier of space has changed from indestructible to weak. At this time, as long as there are cultists here, they can summon some low-level demons directly into this world through magic rituals. At the same time, this also means that this area will become clearer in the eyes of demons, and the psychics here will find it more difficult to hide their whereabouts and are more easily controlled by demons. Fortunately, this change is not permanent. It only takes a year for this place to return to its original state, and the universe will repair its wounds by itself. "

"Why do you do this?"

"Of course it is because of work needs. What we want to test is the critical value of this space. In other words, in a battle, how many nuclear bombs can be withstood in a battle area at most. I thought the space was still stable before. It would be no problem to drop another nuclear bomb, so I submitted the report through psychic communication. Of course, if you want to get more accurate results, you should let the space barrier continue to weaken, or even cross it slightly. This is the spiritual world point, so that the critical value data can be accurately obtained. However, your father is not willing to take risks, which is good. Only madmen would risk doing this." Jacob concluded: "The accurate data still needs to be calculated. It can only be concluded that the world can only withstand three tactical nuclear bombs like this in a year. It is really a castle made of piled sand. A space that looks so stable can actually withstand three bombs. A nuclear bomb becomes weaker."

"Master, you know, that's not what I'm asking. I want to know, why!?"

"What why?"

"Father, why are you testing me like this? Testing me? Why? Why didn't he tell me?"

"Do you think this is your father's temptation and test for you?"

"Isn't it?"

"No, no, your father is just protecting you." Jacob sighed and smiled, as if he was laughing at a child who was disobedient and insisted on eating sweets. "It is not the person who tests you and tests you. It's your father, but this world. As I just said, good qualifications don't simply mean that you are born better than others. You are stronger than others. It also means that you have a stronger sense of spiritual energy. Because of your keenness, you are more likely to die than others, you are more likely to be captured by power, you are more likely to lose your mind and commit unforgivable sins. Most psykers are under extremely short-term circumstances. To complete this transformation, they did not have three nuclear bombs to let them gradually feel the feeling of spiritual power filling their bodies. Most of them were suddenly swallowed up by the raging spiritual energy. They might have been just one before. A humble psyker, a being who is discriminated against by the people in the empire. His life is likely to be very miserable, but in an instant, he suddenly has huge power. He can destroy an army with just a wave of his arm. , he can make those who were once beyond his reach kneel in front of him with just one thought. In this case, how should he keep his heart? And your father has done a lot for you, just to let you? After overcoming this difficulty, you are a psychic. Unless you never use psychic powers in your life, you will be tested like this sooner or later. This is a test from the world, and you must be strong. "

"I, I don't know, I just feel good. I feel that I only need one word to make the world crawl at my feet. It is so easy to become the king of the world. It only takes one word. Father, mother, both will When you come back to me, even the master will praise me, all it takes is one word."

"No, don't say it. Those are just your illusions. Li Anjie, get to know yourself. In retrospect, who are you? Who is the most important to you? What is the happiest thing in your life? Li Anjie, you have to understand, That feeling is just an illusion. The real you are just a rookie on the path of spiritual energy. Don't take advantage of the power you are not familiar with, you will regret it. "

"No, it's not an illusion. I know it's true. I can change reality, but that reality is not real." Li Anjie said calmly: "I don't need false beauty, because reality is good enough. Yes, I probably understand my father’s painstaking efforts.”

"Okay, you should be able to sink into the depths of your consciousness now and build your mental defenses. There is no need to tell me that your consciousness is something that only belongs to you, and the mental defenses are just external. It’s just a layer of protection, it will be an image, such as a city wall, armor, etc. This kind of thing is extremely personal, and you have to explore it on your own.”

Li Anjie closed her eyes as instructed. After a while, her breathing became calmer and finally disappeared.
