Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

Guilliman was discussing some important arrangements with the great sage Belisarius Kaur.

The opening of the fifth stage database will greatly promote the implementation of these plans.

The expansion of the empire will continue to roll like a snowball, and eventually become a super invincible behemoth.

Now it's just a trivial start.

The expeditionary force not only expanded the territory of the empire, but also continuously absorbed advanced technologies and development concepts from various universes, making the empire more diversified.

Those universes that were conquered were not simply about expanding the empire's dominion.

The first is to increase the scope of human life and enhance people's sense of well-being.

Second, the resources obtained make human life better and enhance their sense of belonging to the empire.

The third is that the different development routes of each universe have brought a lot of inspiration to the Empire's Mechanicus and related scientific research units.

Even if the empire does not rely on the database, it can create a large number of new technologies.

The expansion of civilization is crucial.

Many people advocate peace, but peace is a slow poison for a huge empire.

In the short term, people will sing the praises of peace.

But after a long time, they will become suspicious.

I feel that the world is full of injustice, I feel that I am underappreciated, and I feel that I have no upward channels.

Over time, they will lose confidence in everything and are eager to use war to prove their worth and redefine their interests.

Not only empires, but even enterprises are the same.

Once the business is no longer expanding.

The employees of the enterprise will feel that they have no room for improvement.

Only those positions that are available can be robbed.

In order to keep their positions, those executives will also start to be on guard, and even act preemptively.

Businesses can quickly become mired in endless infighting.

In the end, all the power was exhausted in the internal fighting, and was harvested by enemies in the business field.

After communicating for a long time, Belisarius Kaur left Guilliman's study.

Guilliman watched the great sage leave, his heavy face did not get better after the conversation came to an end.

The opening of the Phase 5 database is a good thing.

But the auxiliary elves also brought bad news.

The tenth-order database promised at the beginning of the activation did not actually exist.

The auxiliary database has only been perfected to the sixth stage, and the next four stages only have general theories and directions, and there are no exact data and research results.

When the database of the fifth stage was opened, and after in-depth study and understanding, Guilliman got a passage about the words left by the creator.

"Latecomers, when you see this message, you must have achieved certain results. Please use the gift we left behind properly. The future of the heavens is infinitely exciting, and it awaits your excavation and recognition. The old road has come to an end, and the individual legends created in the age of mythology will also become a thing of the past. Now, you have a better choice, perfect this road, and you will go further. Don’t let us down, and don’t let humanity down.”

Only the voice is saved in the database, and no video data is saved.

The existence of the creation database seems to be trying to erase its own influence on future generations.

Judging from the existing information, it should be left by the pioneers in the human race.

The empire's historical understanding of the heavens is not clear.

It can only be inferred that the heavens have experienced an unimaginable evolutionary time. The universe was born and developed again and again, and then its lifespan came to an end and was reborn again, over and over again.

After a long time, the heavens have gradually entered the age of civilization.

Civilizations at this stage are generally based on the use of subspace.

Learning the knowledge of the subspace and controlling the power of the subspace should have been very popular at that time.

The many paths of practice that appeared in universe 03 are the remnants of that era.

Don't think that universe 03 was destroyed by the empire, but think that extraordinary civilization is nothing more than that.

Creatures who think like this are fools.

The birth, prosperity and decline of extraordinary civilizations are important processes in the evolution of the heavens.

It's like biological evolution goes through unicellular, multicellular, aquatic, terrestrial and other stages.

A civilization needs to go through tribes, slavery, feudalism, and industry, and go out of the planet it belongs to, into the deep space, into the galaxy, into the universe, and finally out of the universe.

Looking at the previous stage from the perspective of a latecomer, one will inevitably feel that that stage is backward and ignorant.

But they don't know that they are just an insignificant existence in the evolutionary history.

Extraordinary civilization is prevalent, countless paths of practice have been opened up, and the splendor is indescribable.

At this time, a group of pioneers realized the limitations of the transcendent path.

It is also possible that some civilizations rely on technology to repeatedly challenge the status of those extraordinary civilizations, making them realize that the road to extraordinary has come to an end, and it will be extremely difficult to take another step forward.

The individual is strong, the status is respected, and it occupies 99.9999% of the world's resources, but there is no way to improve the race.

Extraordinary civilizations have stagnated in many cases, and even regressed.

Perhaps this civilization has existed for millions of years, and it still maintains the tribal way of life and the way of life of ancient feudal dynasties.

The development of the underlying system and productivity is hopelessly slow.

Various factors such as family, bloodline, and inheritance also restrict the development of extraordinary civilizations.

Geniuses who can advance the development of the times are wasted because of their origins.

What everyone competes for is the resources of practice, and what they compare is the level of realm.

They don't care whether there will be changes at the bottom.

Those people's thoughts were firmly imprisoned by extraordinary practice.

Unwilling to think about other possibilities in this world.

The power structure of Extraordinary Civilization is very stable, and the bottom layer cannot compete with those well-established inheritances and families.

Advocating blood theory, do not value personal efforts.

Even if ordinary people save every second of their time to work hard and try their best to improve, they are not as good as disciples of aristocratic families and those with blood in a day.

The brutal practice competition and the backward way of inheritance suppress the creative play.

The theory of only combat power has stifled countless talents who have potential but have not been able to realize it.

No matter how creative talents are, if they do not have enough combat power, they will not be able to obtain resources and have no corresponding status, which greatly dampens people's enthusiasm for creating new things.

It is a general trend that technology replaces the extraordinary.

Encourage innovation, refine the division of labor, and let the bottom-level people who realize their ambitions have more opportunities.

Technology has a stronger self-elimination ability.

A powerful transcendent, when he occupies the top of the ecological chain, it is difficult to eradicate him.

Because his natural lifespan has become extremely long, much longer than ordinary people.

Coupled with the strength of power, it is not difficult to fool and guide the development direction of a civilization.

In addition, extraordinary civilization does not require universal education and various advanced knowledge.

Before entering the path of spiritual practice, many people may be illiterate.

After mastering the cultivation method, he is also good at using spiritual consciousness and the like.

There is a generational gap between illiterate mortals and spiritual practitioners, resulting in the division of civilization.

The long lifespan of the top-level organisms makes the change of power extremely slow.

A wrong idea may last for millions of years without being corrected, and may even become a special unspoken rule.

But what a scientific and technological civilization needs are countless talents.

No matter how fooled by those in power, he still has to cultivate enough elites to maintain a civilization that does not decline.

It seems that Guilliman did not have the human empire before he woke up. No matter how corrupt the Terra Council is, it is necessary to maintain enough human elites to slow down the decline of the empire.

It is a general trend for technological civilization to replace extraordinary civilization.

It is also the biggest change in the era of hundreds of billions of trillions of heavens.

Some of the self-sacrificing forefathers of mankind realized this.

They began to reform slowly, trying to transfer human beings from the extraordinary path to another path that is more suitable for the future.

Reforms will lead to conflicts, which are very likely to turn into wars.

Conservatives must be unwilling, thinking that extraordinaryness is the law of the ancestors, and technology is just a small Doyle.

Once they came and went, war broke out.

According to the analysis of the existing data, universe 03 is very likely to be a remnant after the war.

With so many races, the path of human practice has been forcibly destroyed.

If there is no twists and turns, who would believe it! !

By piecing together those fragments, imperial historians have restored a part of history.

Universe 03 should be a universe where the extraordinary civilization of human beings has developed to the extreme.

The Brilliant Era is even related to other universes and has contacts.

Some people have come into contact with the theory of scientific and technological civilization, and believe that human beings should follow the route of scientific and technological development, give up spiritual practice, and give up the individual pursuit of the eternal road.

Because eternity represents stagnation and immutability.

Such a world is suffocating and hopeless.

They planned the end of the Dharma Era, trying to use this method to force human beings out of the comfort zone, and also tried to cut off the path of human cultivation above the true immortal level.

Some people don't want to do that.

Let yourself give up the eternal lifespan and superior status and reincarnate to die, sorry, really can't do it.

Even the supreme being who claims to see through everything may find it difficult to accept such an ending.

Resistance is inevitable.

They don't want to care about the future of mankind.

All they care about is their own way and the results of their practice.

I have worked so hard to get to this position, and now you tell me that everyone will die together, and then leave this world to ordinary people.

Isn't this a joke?

Those who opposed the reform created various worlds centered on the heavenly world, that is, the Great Immortal Realm conquered by Calgar, the Great Yang Room, and so on.

I want to use these to fight against the Dharma-ending era.

As for the mutation above the level of cultivation, some historians believe that it is the ghosts of the reformers, and some historians believe that it is very likely that the path of cultivation first appeared such terrible mutations as flesh mutation and soul distortion. Stimulated by some scientific and technological civilizations, it is an important factor that promotes the emergence of reformist human extraordinary civilizations in universe 03.

Unknown what happened later, this group of top extraordinary figures all disappeared.

The Dharma-ending Age created by the reformists has not been completely successful, and technological reforms have not been implemented, but the path of human practice has been destroyed.

Human beings who were disconnected all of a sudden were slowly replaced by other races.

Those ancient holy places were also taken away and became the places that people have owned since ancient times.

Human civilization gradually declined and became the vassal of other races.

until the fall of the empire.

This is the historical speculation about Universe 03.

If you want to know what really happened, you can only know it if you go back in time and return to that period.

In any case, the replacement of extraordinary by technology is the general trend.

Many civilizations are trying to take the road of science and technology, and take the road of technological integration of subspace.

Reincarnation games, Ultra Universe, and Supreme God are all attempts.

Combining various scientific and technological concepts with subspace, trying to blaze new trails.

None of these roads is superior. At the end of the never-ending road of truth, no existence can determine where the next brick of truth will be laid! !

As for those who vainly tried to use the tide of the subspace to re-establish an extraordinary civilization and take the route of restoration of mythology, they would all die.

Guilliman walked back to his desk from the door, opened the system interface, and called the auxiliary elves.

[Here, host. 】

"Can you enter new knowledge?" Guilliman asked in a deep voice.

He had a plan in mind.

There has never been an eternal dynasty in this world, nor an eternal monarch.

Humanity hopes that Guilliman can always rule the human empire, but Guilliman does not want to do that.

He fears that one day he will become a pedantic, conservative image representative

Just like the original Assassin Mentor - Van Gerich.

He waged a dictatorship for humanity, assassinating other High Lords of Terra.

In the first eighty years, he worked hard to make the human empire glorious again.

But in the last twenty years, he became a madman, almost destroyed everything again, and even refused to surrender his power.

Think the empire is doomed without it.

Guilliman is in the same situation now.

Everyone thought that without him, what should the empire do?

One day, he will think so too.

Think of yourself as unique, think of yourself as indispensable.

At that time, who will stop him, a lunatic?

[Yes, host. 】

"Enter all the knowledge of the empire into your database." Guilliman issued an order: "At the same time, I will give you the authority second only to me, but you are not allowed to interfere with the fate of mankind, unless they are clearly caught in a situation where they cannot Only by solving the crisis, and most likely causing self-destruction, can you choose a qualified host again and guide him to use those knowledge and authority to save mankind."

[Understood, this command has been written into the underlying data code, and will become one of the most important rules of the auxiliary elves. 】

Guilliman nodded.

After the sixth stage database is opened, the auxiliary system will be useless to him.

He will find a way to separate this system, and then put it in the empire's god brain matrix, let it read all the knowledge, and leave it to the next successor.

The empire may be destroyed one day, just like the countless civilizations that humans have destroyed, disappearing into the long river of history and becoming a small splash in it.

In the distant future when they disappear, those poor people may fall into darkness and despair again, looking up at the starry sky and praying for salvation.

At that time, there will be another successor who will turn out to do what he once did, bring mankind out of the abyss, and then push them forward.

After giving the order, Guilliman closed the system interface, sat in his seat, and thought about what his successor would be like! !

clever?

cunning?

Cruel?

Or kindness?

"Let it be," Guilliman whispered.

The man who created the system and kept the knowledge database to himself may have pondered the same question.

Thinking about what role your creation will play? ?

How is it for humans contemplating the far future? ?

Think about whether your successor is capable enough? ?

Thinking of this, Guilliman smiled.
