Infinite Metaverse

Su Zheng, captain's room.

Fu Qinghai, Tristan, No. 56.

The three of them were sitting in a circle chatting.

The Chapter Leader first poured a glass of strong wine for the Chief Intelligence Officer, and then prepared to pour a glass for the Hermit Master, but was stopped by the Chief Priest raising his hand. Tristan waved his hand and explained:

"Sorry, Khan, I don't drink. I've been used to following the rules of the Silver Hand for too many years."

"OK."

Fu Qinghai put down the decanter.

Turning to look at No. 56, he asked:

"What happened?"

"It's no big deal."

No. 56 took a sip of wine and said lightly:

"Calixis Sector, Sintila Hive World, the first state church was built not long ago."

"What sect?"

Fu Qinghai sat back on the captain's chair and asked casually.

"The Emperor's Temple Sect of Salvation."

Number 56 said.

"It's indeed them."

Fu Qinghai laughed as expected.

Fu Qinghai, Tristan and No. 56 are all reincarnators, so they directly use the term "state religion" to refer to these religious figures and this emerging organization. But in fact, strictly speaking, it was not until the end of the first half of the 32K era that the Temple of the Emperor of Salvation was officially recognized as the official religion of the empire and awarded the title of "State Church". Before this time, there were countless sects that professed their faith in the Emperor.

But now, Terra has acquiesced to their missionary behavior, and they are expanding very quickly. The last major event in the plot line was the "Great Purge". At that time, the Iron Buddha Chapter was still the Brotherhood of God and Machine. Fu Qinghai had already seen that the state religion The priest is leading the displaced people of the empire to rebuild their homes. Now, in just a few years, the state religion's beliefs have spread to the Calixis sector on the edge of the Hazy Star Field.

The Emperor's Temple of Salvation, a sect that relies on "The Words of the Emperor" compiled by Lorgar before his fall as its main doctrine, is currently the mainstream sect and the most powerful sect. It is said that in order to achieve their current status, they even fought a religious war that was not particularly large-scale.

"Moreover, there are some priests who followed the trading ships to the Phaeton Forging World. I noticed them at the airport, but they haven't started preaching yet."

Number 56 said.

"Ignore them."

Fu Qinghai quickly gave instructions:

"This sect has inherent flaws. Perhaps those who were originally founded are loyal, but they will soon become corrupted. They are too greedy for power and wealth. As for those who enter the Marquez King region and try to preach Pastor, get rid of them all."

The Chapter Master made a throat-cutting gesture.

The chief intelligence officer nodded in understanding.

One of the founders of the Emperor's Temple of Salvation sect is the first living saint of the Human Empire - Eufradi Keeler. For the first time, this bitch showed that she can display psychic powers without spiritual talent and only through devout faith. Spells. But the Emperor had not yet sat on the Golden Throne at that time, so it is highly doubtful where the psychic powers in Ms. Keeler came from.

The Ecclesiastical Tribunal has always had disputes with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The two have long competed for the power to govern the empire's basic people's livelihood. It was not until Gao Zhi Van Dier came to power that he served as the Pontiff of the Ecclesiarchy and the Minister of the Interior at the same time. This dispute was finally over. As we all know later, the Temple of the Emperor of Salvation sect of Gorge Vandire was overthrown by Sebastian Thor's Alliance of Light sect, and the state religion changed its dynasty. Therefore, even if we want to have a good relationship with the state religion, it is not to have a good relationship with the current state religion. They are a force destined to perish. Although they have existed for a long time, for the Astartes, it is actually not that long.

"Okay, since there is no national religion, how does Khan think the issue of the Chapter's faith should be resolved?"

Tristan asked the crux of the matter.

"We follow the same old routine."

Fu Qinghai said bluntly:

"We believe in Imperial Truth."

"Huh? Imperial Truth?"

Alpha and the Word Bearers asked together.

Is this too Old School?

It hasn't been long since the rebellion ended, the state religion has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people, and the empire's beliefs are very confusing. But everyone already knows that the so-called Imperial truth is a complete lie and scam, and the two Space Marines from the Traitor Legion know it very well. Even if you don’t believe in the God Emperor, do you still believe in the truth of the empire at this time? What's the point?

"That's right, the revised Imperial Truth."

Fu Qinghai took a sip of wine and said:

"Adding the content of the upper subspace, we face up to psychic energy, face up to chaos, face up to these idealistic forces that lead to the corruption and depravity of intelligent creatures, and then be wary of them and guard against them."

The biggest problem with the Imperial Truth is that it does not acknowledge the existence of demons and evil gods, and tells people that psychic energy is just a special kind of energy, and that there are no demons or monsters in the subspace. However, this statement has long been overturned as the rebellion progressed. Fu Qinghai believes that Iron Buddha now needs a new imperial truth - "Imperial Truth·Iron Buddha Revised Edition".

"It's not impossible."

After listening to the chapter leader's thoughts.

Yin Xiuchang said he could give it a try.

"I think it's quite creative."

The chief intelligence officer is a man of fun.

He doesn't care about matters of faith.

The beliefs of Space Marines can be roughly divided into the "Human Emperor Faction" and the "God Emperor Faction". Both believe in the Emperor, but the former regards the Emperor as a king while the latter regards the Emperor as a god. At present, the "Human Emperor Faction" still accounts for the majority, but in the later period, the "God Emperor Faction" will become the mainstream. The typical representative of the "God-Emperor" is the Black Templars, and the Space Marines who have experienced the Great Crusade and the Great Rebellion basically do not think that the Emperor is a god.

Fu Qinghai himself is a staunch "Human Emperor faction".

The Iron Buddha Battle Group will also be the "Human Emperor Faction".

The state religion dares not care what the Space Marines believe.

Even by the end of 32K, two-thirds of the people in the country had already believed in the state religion. At the beginning of the establishment of the state religion, legislation still stipulated that only two organizations could disrespect the beliefs of the state religion. Otherwise, not believing in the state religion was heresy and all needed to be purified. .

And these two organizations.

One is called the Mechanicum.

One is called the Adeptus Astartes.

Since the state religion did not dare to control the Astartes Chapter at all, why did the "God-Emperor Faith" still become the mainstream faith of Space Marines in the later period? Because a Space Marine was a mortal before he became a Space Marine, and if he had accepted the Ecclesiarchy as a child, he would most likely believe in the Ecclesiarchy after becoming a Space Marine—at least believing that the Emperor was a god.

This is why, even though it is clear that the State Church will not come to preach to the Astartes Chapter, Fu Qinghai still does not allow the State Church priests to enter the Marquez King Zone - you are not allowed to preach among mortals either! Fu Qinghai asked the Alpha Warriors to deal with these priests secretly. In fact, the Emperor's Temple of Salvation sect is not even an official religion at the moment. Even if they are prevented from preaching openly, it will not cause any trouble.

"Then, I will leave the task of revising and compiling the "Imperial Truth: Iron Buddha Revised Edition" to you."

Fu Qinghai looked at Tristan.

"No problem, Khan."

The cultivator Yin nodded and agreed.

Tristan comes from the Word Bearers Legion. He has studied the complete version of "The Book of Lorgar" and is a serious theology expert. He has also studied the "Imperial Truth" deeply. The power staff used by the Chapter Chaplain was also called the "Truth Staff" in the past, which means - if you don't believe in the Imperial Truth, then I will give you a head. Scepter!

Fu Qinghai turned to look at No. 56:

"In addition, don't let the missionary mission of the Temple of the Savior Emperor Sect in the Calixis sector develop too smoothly."

"I know, Khan."

No. 56 nodded to express understanding.

A fledgling national religious sect has to face an Alpha warrior secretly causing trouble... The difficulty of this level is indeed a bit beyond the standard. Moreover, the Calixis sector is the most densely populated and complex neighbor near the battle group's station. Number 56 has already penetrated it completely. He has been running the Calixis sector intelligence network for a long time, and even the district governor He has several mistresses, and each mistress has several illegitimate children. It is clear how many moles each illegitimate child has on his buttocks.

The two subordinates gave their respective orders one after another.

After talking about business, let’s talk about personal matters.

Fu Qinghai took out a golden crystal from the drawer.

Hold it in the palm of your hand and show it to your two subordinates:

"Do you know this thing?"

No. 56 looked confused.

Tristan's eyes suddenly opened wide:

"Fragments of Naaru!?"

"Haha, of course you know me.

Fu Qinghai smiled and said:

"Yes, Naaru Fragment. Augustus wants to be a battlefield observer to see the intensity of war in Warhammer 40K. I agree. This thing is the reward he gave, a Naaru Fragment. You know its value. How much is it?”

Tristan frowned slightly:

"If you just want to observe a battle, it would be too expensive and luxurious to give a Naaru fragment. This is a priceless treasure - for those who use the Holy Light. A small Naaru fragment can support the Naaru spaceship Running for a long, long time, the Draenei relied on the magical spaceship built by the Naaru to escape all the way and escape from the clutches of the Burning Legion."

"What if I explain to them the forbidden knowledge and precautions in the Warhammer 40K universe?"

Fu Qinghai added another chip.

The chief pastor shook his head:

"It's still not enough."

"Then there's only one answer."

Fu Qinghai said thoughtfully:

"The Zero Realm Guild has given a high reward that exceeds the value of the information itself. This is a goodwill signal from them and they want to befriend me. This is a gift, right?"

"I think so."

Tristan nodded in agreement:

"But there is no need to overestimate the value of the Naaru fragments, Khan. As I said, the Naaru fragments are only valuable to those who master the power of the holy light. They are valuable to other spellcasters and spirits. Even those who are capable can't use the holy light energy in the Naaru fragments. Moreover, Naaru fragments can be big or small, but the one in front of you is not too big."

Fu Qinghai also played World of Warcraft a long time ago.

Of course, Fu Qinghai also knows Naaru, a pure energy creature composed entirely of holy light. They are the incarnation of holy light, and their body fragments naturally contain the purest power of holy light. Not only that, he also knew that although the Holy Light represents light, kindness, hope, courage and other idealistic powers, the Holy Light also has pure energy attributes - not only can the power of the Holy Light be obtained through belief in the Holy Light, but also through enslaving the Holy Light. Light gains the power of Holy Light. Blood Elf Paladins obtain the power of the Holy Light by enslaving a Naaru.

"In that case."

Fu Qinghai casually threw the fragments to Tristan:

"Then leave it to you."

"Uh, this..."

Tristan subconsciously caught it and was shocked.

The cultivator Yin looked up at the chapter leader and said seriously:

"No reward for no merit, Khan."

"Of course, you're right."

Fu Qinghai leaned back in his chair and smiled:

"For any association, clear rewards and punishments are a basic requirement. But after all, we are only a small association, and the rules can be more flexible. You haven't made any achievements yet, but you can take credit first. Just treat it as your advance. I used my credit to advance this Naaru shard."

"ah……"

Tristan was stunned.

"how?"

Fu Qinghai asked with a smile while lying in the chair.

"I understand, Khan."

The chief pastor nodded solemnly and said.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and drank up the remaining wine in the glass:

"That's it, let's break up the meeting."
