Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"But Burner does have a point."

Zen continued to speak.

"Directly changing the past, present and future of the real universe will indeed have terrible consequences, but there is no way to avoid it."

"The last step of the grand plan is sacrifice. My race will firmly anchor the existing timeline of the real universe at the conceptual level, and anchor everyone's destiny in the same way. Everything will be the same as before, except for the erosion of the gods. will no longer exist in the future."

After listening to Zen's story, Qin Mo was suddenly very curious about this race: "You all seem to have insight into the future, into the extremely distant future, but you just can't see into the fate of your own race. Otherwise, why don't you change the fate of the ancient saints' extinction? ?”

"Is there any reason why the ancient saint race cannot be exterminated and must exist?" Zen asked rhetorically.

The emperor looked at Qin Mo.

Even though Qin Mo was so eloquent, he was speechless by Zen's light question at this time.

"Even if we look at the problem from a selfish perspective, we really can't change the fate of genocide."

“That’s the tragedy of prophecy.”

"You know what's going to happen, but it's hard to change no matter what you do. Of course, in some small things, you just need to pay attention to a few things to change your future, but on big things like the survival of the race, no matter how hard you work, It’s all in vain.”

The fate of the race of ancient sages themselves was stated in Zen's understatement.

Zen looked at Qin Mo.

"Speak in the language of your variable culture."

"Everything is fate, nothing is up to you."

Qin Mo was still silent, but he had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask the ancient sage in front of him.

He couldn't believe that a race could accept its own demise so willingly.

He couldn't believe that this powerful, god-like race had no resistance at all.

Even though Zen couldn't use spiritual power to probe Qin Mo's mind, it still knew what Qin Mo wanted to ask, so it took the initiative to explain it.

"The fate of the Necrontyr is fixed. At the moment when their entire race conceptually dies, the waves set off in the sea of ​​souls have already determined this matter."

"As for the race of ancient saints who are entangled in the fate of the Necrontyr, their fate will also be anchored the moment they are devoured by the Star God in the future."

"Of course we can change our destiny, but we cannot make absolutely safe changes. It is an established fact that the subspace has become turbulent. We have no way to calm it down, nor can we use it as we did before to do it safely. become something.”

"Using the already turbulent subspace to do a major event with extremely far-reaching consequences, rather than using psychic energy to fight something as trivial as this. The serious consequences that this kind of behavior may lead to are obviously more likely to be destroyed than the destruction of a race. accept."

Zen is still a bland statement about the survival of the race.

After hearing these words, Qin Mo asked in astonishment: "Your perspective is too high... It's a bit cold-blooded..."

"My race is a cold-blooded animal." Zen said. "In the primitive period of my race, a senior with psychic talent enlightened us. He was called the Holy Sage."

Qin Mo recalled the history of the ancient sages.

In the primitive era of this race, an individual with excellent psychic talent floated in front of all his kind, spoke extraordinary and holy words, and then enlightened his kind.

"We have been thinking about it for a long time, what is the meaning of our enlightenment, and what is the reason why the sages enlighten us?"

"Then we came to the answer. We are born different and become saints. It is natural that we should shoulder responsibilities that other races cannot bear, and enlighten other creatures in the real universe like the most holy sage."

"And when the life and death of the real universe itself is unknown, we should focus on the real universe itself, not the life and death of our species."

Zen said, raising his head, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate the stars.

"For a race like ours, the present always seems small compared to the past and the future. We don't care about the present, we don't care about the current time, we care more about the past and the future from a macro perspective."

"But because of this, we often ignore the present..."

Hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Will the things I lead mankind do in the future undermine your big plans to a certain extent?"

"Yes, this is a fact." The Ancient Saint nodded, "The Great Crusade brought extremely strong negative emotions to the galaxy, and the Empire, as a temporary ruling tool, plunged your race into misery, and the endless emotions nourished the soul. The gods in the sea, so that if you really face the crisis of destruction, the gods will take action to protect mankind."

"But everything you do is done to the best of your ability, and it is a wise move made in a dilemma."

"If you don't unify the human race, then what is supplied to the gods is not just negative emotions. The loose and chaotic human race may drag the entire real universe into the quagmire."

After responding to the emperor, Zen looked at Qin Mo again.

"Get out of here and do what you want to do."

"You are the only variable. The gods cannot spy on you. If you hadn't appeared around me in the future, I wouldn't have noticed you. This is an advantage."

"Perhaps in the distant future my race has perished and cannot provide you with substantial help, but in the past of the real universe timeline, the grand plan will be carried out. When you complete your work, repair the curtain of the real universe and isolate the extensive influence of the gods, my race will complete the last step of the grand plan and anchor the entire timeline with sacrifice."

Qin Mo nodded, thought about it, and suddenly asked: "How will the sacrifice you mentioned be carried out?"

Zen calmly replied: "We will turn the extinction of the ancient saint race into a ritual. The extinction of this race is a sacrifice. The extremely huge spiritual energy will anchor the timeline of the real universe and what has happened as I said, to prevent the collapse of reality."

Qin Mo was stunned.

Orikan opened the passage to the next time node: "Let's leave here."

"Let's go." Zen raised his claws and waved gently, "You, the variable, have your own problems to face, and we, the constants, also have our own problems to face. My own constant is to be killed by the Burner in the future, but I can guess that in the more distant future, you will bring order consciousness to the despicable existence of the Star God."

"If you think we are noble, you don't need to do anything for us, nor do you need to be grateful to us."

"You change the thinking of the despicable existence of the Star God, which is a commemoration of the sacrifice of the ancient saint race."

Zen slowly floated and turned, walking towards the distance.

Its race has its own future.

And it also has its own future.

As a speaker, Zen's mission has ended. What it needs to face next is being caught by Imotekh and the Burner in the future.
