Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"Speaking of the Emperor, I remembered something."

Qin Mo suddenly began to search around in the research room.

In the storage box, he found one of the things that the Emperor could not carry with him and left here after coming to the Maelstrom.

A box.

"What is this?" the recorder asked.

"Good question." Qin Mo took the box in his hand and weighed it, "The Emperor prepared carrots for the Eldar."

"Carrots?" The recorder flipped the pages of the book, "Is this a metaphor, a proverb, or a fable? Let me record it."

Qin Mo then satisfied the recorder's desire to record.

The box in his hand was the Emperor's masterpiece, and it contained the souls of the Eldar.

When the flagship of the Destruction Campaign in Comoros was destroyed, the Emperor proposed to collect the souls of all the dead Dark Eldars, and then tear them apart and decompose them.

As long as this box exists, the souls of the Dark Eldar can be used and infused into a body, so that it can be reborn like a newborn and forget everything that happened to its soul before it was torn apart.

The Emperor hoped to use this thing to help Guilliman consolidate the covenant between humans and the Death Army, and even to restrain the behavior of the Death Army.

Because this thing will be like a carrot hung in front of a donkey by a fishing rod, tempting the donkey to move forward honestly, that's why it is called a carrot.

Assuming that the alliance between humans and the Death Army is unstable, the Emperor will use this thing to threaten the Death Army.

Either get a little bit of favor, get a little soul in the box to reshape the troops, or watch the box and the soul material destroyed together, and the Eldar completely lose the opportunity to recruit.

But fortunately, the covenant went smoothly, and the Emperor never used this thing.

But it is also natural that this thing was not taken out as a gift to the Death Army.

Even if it is purely human, hostility to aliens still exists.

"This thing can absorb soul matter and reorganize into soul." Qin Mo threw the box in his hand up and caught it again, "Maybe it can help us."

"Then why don't you use it directly?" The recorder asked.

"If we don't want to produce subspace demons like the Ancient Saint Barracks we use as a canteen, then we have to collect soul matter accurately. I need the soul characteristics of the Necrontyr race." Qin Mo answered.

"Then why don't you look for the soul characteristics of the Necrontyr?"

"Because the Necrontyr has no descendants."

Realizing that the Q\u0026A will enter an endless loop, Qin Mo took the initiative to end the Q\u0026A: "Now we are talking about business, don't joke."

"Ha, ha." The recorder laughed twice mechanically, and then continued to talk about business, "This thing should really be useful. Although the current Necrontyr has no soul, the Necrontyr in the past was not."

"You mean, time travel?" Qin Mo asked.

"Yes!" The recorder turned the pages of the book continuously and came to the record of the power of the Star God, "We can control time, let time pass and regress arbitrarily, and we can go back to the eve of the War in Heaven."

Hearing this, Qin Mo frowned and shook his head.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the idea of ​​time travel, but the cost is a bit high.

The overall reversal and acceleration of the timeline will lead to a fatal problem, that is, the reality membrane will be weakened.

Admittedly, there is no reality membrane in a place like the Maelstrom, and the consequences of time travel can't be too bad, just like sending most of the Comoros to the Eye of Terror and then throwing it back to before the Big Bang. The consequences can be tolerated, but the variables of time travel are too large.

And some things are really impossible.

For example, traveling back to the past and changing the fate of the Primarchs who have already ascended to magic, so that they don't ascend to magic, this is not feasible, because too much about the things in the subspace will involve messy concepts and established facts.

Although the Necrontyr has no psychic potential, the soul is still a soul after all.

"Why don't we give it a try?" The recorder suggested, "Go back to before the War in Heaven. Although we can't change the outcome of the War in Heaven, nor the fate of a race, we can still do something in the past."

Qin Mo still hesitated: "Manipulating time will not only weaken the reality membrane of the current time manipulation area, but also weaken the reality membrane in the past. I don't want to bring the current subspace creatures back to the past."

"It doesn't matter if the current subspace creatures are brought back to the past. There is no time in the subspace, which means that after the birth of the gods, the real creatures at the time of the War in Heaven were fighting against demons." The recorder said, "Besides, aren't you curious about many things?"

Qin Mo listened.

"For example, the Burner once captured several ancient saints to obtain the knowledge of the Webway. Were those ancient saints released by it to fulfill its promise, or were they killed, or... left behind?"

"How was the war fought during the War in Heaven? Sooner or later, the real creatures of today will develop technology like that during the War in Heaven. We have ready-made examples to learn from."

"And your friend Guilliman is still looking for his adoptive mother, whether she is alive or dead."

"These things did not happen at the same time node, but if we travel long distances on the timeline, we can go to the time nodes where these events occurred."

"We can also do what we want to do and witness the soul of a Necrontyr."

The recorder said a lot, but Qin Mo knew that the recorder also wanted to witness some things that it could not witness when it was in Saranoga's belly, but if it was just to satisfy the recorder's curiosity, Qin Mo would immediately deny this idea.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Qin Mo nodded: "I decided to make a small-scale attempt. If it is really feasible, if we go back to the previous time node, the soul of the Necrontyr race still exists, then not only this benefit, but we can also get more benefits."
