Chapter 631: Director of the Chapter Think Tank,

Extreme Star Field, Yashan Star Sector, Qiaogris.

Horqin grassland, an endless sea of ​​grass.

A group of storm prophets sat in a circle, meditating with their eyes closed. The breeze blew across the sea of ​​grass, and the meadow rose and fell like green waves. These storm prophets had old faces and were generally of oriental appearance. But among them, there was a storm prophet who looked very young and had a very special appearance.

Tan skin, black curly hair, high nose and deep eyes.

This is a Space Marine without a name.

He only has a nickname in the Khorchin language: Tengyur.

It means "reincarnated person".

As we all know, the White Scars are Space Mongols, the Space Wolves are Space Vikings, and the Ultramarines are Space Romans. Many would assume that the Thousand Sons are Space Egyptians, due to the Thousand Sons Legion's famous Scarab Terminator Guards.

But actually, strictly speaking.

The Thousand Sons should be considered space Persians.

Tenjur has a very standard Persian look. Of course, in the Warhammer 40K universe, this is called the Prospero look. He looks completely different from the Chogorians around him, but he is also dressed like a Storm Prophet: He

wears layers of animal fur on the outside of his MK8 counter-insurgency power armor, and his shoulder armor and chest armor are decorated with knots, wooden amulets and various bone products. He looks more like a steppe shaman than a Space Marine.

"call..."

Danzhuer exhaled lightly.

Then he slowly opened his black eyes.

"How's it going, Tenjur?"

The oldest Storm Prophet closed his eyes and asked,

"Do you feel the call of the Heavenly Road?"

"I feel it."

Tenjur smiled bitterly and replied,

"The voice calling me is getting stronger day by day. I am afraid that sooner or later I will get lost on this road. I really am."

"Don't worry."

The Storm Prophet smiled, opened his eyes and said:

"You are one of the most powerful Space Marines with psychic talents that I have ever seen. You can feel the way to heaven without even meditating. You should make good use of your talents instead of resisting or fearing them. Yesugei once said..."

"I know. You've said that many times."

Tenjur reluctantly took over the conversation and said:

"The great Yesugei once said that the two worst mistakes humans have ever made are to pretend that the road to heaven does not exist and to embark on it."

"Yes, that's right."

The Storm Prophet said with a smile.

The White Scars traditionally call the Immaterial World "The Road to Heaven". This famous quote by Yesugei is very classic, and it represents two wrong directions: First, pretending that the Road to Heaven does not exist refers to the Imperial Truth compiled by the Emperor, which deceives itself and forcibly denies the existence of the Warp and psychic energy. Second, embarking on this path refers to the series of serious consequences caused by the Thousand Sons Legion's unscrupulous abuse of psychic energy.

This sentence of Yesugei is also often quoted by Chagatai. It represents a kind of moderate Eastern philosophical concept that is rare in the Warhammer 40K universe: be impartial, don't go to extremes, restrain desires, respect nature, and demand in moderation.

After the Burning of Prospero, except for the founder of the Grey Knights, Revell Arvida, who was known as the "Perfect Thousand Sons", the rest of the surviving Thousand Sons wizards were almost annihilated in the face of the corruption of the Chaos Gods, especially Tzeentch. In contrast, during the entire Horus Heresy, no Storm Seer of the White Scars Legion fell into Chaos.

The Storm Prophet's psychic performance on the battlefield may not be as devastating and varied as that of the Thousand Sons Sorcerer.

But the Storm Prophets never fell, including in the next ten thousand years, they never fell into Chaos.

"But the road to heaven brings me pain."

Danzhuer frowned and shook his head:

"I always have a feeling that I can change everything around me as I please, whether it is plants, soil, rocks, people or animals, and shape them into whatever I want. I am afraid that I can't control myself."

"Then let me tell you another story."

The old Storm Prophet said slowly:

"It's still about Talihutai Yesugei, the greatest Storm Prophet in the history of the White Scars."

Hearing this, the other Storm Prophets around him opened their eyes and listened quietly to what the elder had to say:

"When Yesugei was sixteen years old, he completed his psychic awakening. In his dream, he dreamed that a monster with a bull's head, an eagle's head, a snake's head, and a fish's head found him and asked him to drink the red liquid in the wine glass in his hand again and again. Yesugei knew that the visitor had bad intentions, so he did not drink it. Then a person covered in golden light came out from behind him. Yesugei could not see his face clearly, but he noticed that the four monsters showed a certain fear and disgust for this golden figure. Even though the golden figure did not speak, Yesugei knew that if he drank the glass of wine, it would greatly offend him, but in order not to anger the four terrible monsters, Yesugei took a small sip and refused. Then the four monsters left angrily, and the golden figure stayed beside him."

The breeze continued to blow across the weathered faces of these storm prophets, blowing up the black hair hanging down at their temples. There was a scent of green grass and the faint fragrance of wild flowers in the wind.

"What do you think this story tells?"

The Storm Prophet turned and looked at Danjur.

"This shows that Talihutai Yesugei was a cunning man who was good at playing both sides and not offending either side."

Danjur nodded and said.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

The Storm Prophet raised his head and laughed heartily:

"That's not wrong. But what I want to tell you is, Tenjur, your talent is a gift from the Warp. You don't have to reject it completely or accept it completely. You can also choose to just try it out, just like Yesugei did. It all depends on your will."

"I understand, Master."

Danzhuer nodded solemnly.

The gloom between Tenzin'er's brows dissipated a little, but his heart was still full of confusion.

The biggest problem that troubled him was not his overly powerful talent, but his self-identity.

To this day, Tenjur still has not figured out a key question: Who am I?

"Tanjur" is just a nickname. In fact, he has no idea who he is. Qingshan Khan did not hide anything and told him all about his life:

He is not a natural person but a clone. The object of the clone is a powerful Thousand Sons warrior - Amon, nicknamed "Black Crow Eye", the captain of the 9th Academy of the Thousand Sons Legion, the commander-in-chief of the Blind Order, and Magnus' personal attendant. Not only that, the gene seed he used to be promoted to a Space Marine also came from Amon. It was Qingshan Khan who found him from the depths of the battleship of the Thousand Sons wizard Ktesias - obviously the Chaos wizard wanted to perfectly copy a new "Amon". Unfortunately, this plan was eventually destroyed by Qingshan Khan at the time, thus saving him from the fate of becoming another person. Danjur did not participate in any battle of the Brotherhood of God Machine and the Iron Pagoda Chapter. Qingshan Khan just sent him to Chogris to let him learn from the Storm Prophet.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

During these ten years, "Tanjur" studied psychic knowledge diligently every day. Astartes has a transformation organ called ganglion, so it is not normal for him to dream easily. But he dreamed almost every night. He dreamed that he was a native Prospero and a citizen representative of the commune of Tizca, the City of Light. He dreamed that he picked up a giant red baby on the planet and raised the baby to adulthood, teaching the baby magic knowledge and then learning magic knowledge from him in return. The giant baby was named "Magnus"... He dreamed of the blazing fire and ferocious wolves, he dreamed of exiling others and self-exile, he dreamed of Azak Ahriman and his red letter spell: tens of thousands of comrades turned into puppets without flesh and only armor in the light...

Tenzin was tortured by the dream and felt like dying.

He couldn't tell who he was.

Even so, Danjur was still incredibly powerful. On the one hand, he was learning the psychic knowledge of the White Scars Storm Prophet. On the other hand, he could recall all the knowledge of the Black Crow School, one of the five major schools of the Thousand Sons Legion, just by dreaming. And one thing that many people would overlook:

Danjur had undergone two additional surgeries invented by Qingshan Khan, and awakened his psychic power for the second time.

He is a completely new and alien Space Marine.

Three years ago, Tenjur had easily defeated the White Scars' chief Stormseer in a psychic duel, which alerted the Primarch. When Chagatai learned that Tenjur's gene-seed came from the Thousand Sons Legion, he was quite emotional: he said that he and Magnus had been very good friends.

While studying in Chogris, Danjur had been constantly comforting himself: I am not Amon the Thousand Sons, I am an Iron Pagoda warrior, I am a member of Qingshan Khan's army. He wanted to regain and strengthen his identity in this way. Unfortunately, just ten years ago, Danjur heard a bad news from Ilya:

the Iron Pagoda Regiment was engulfed by the subspace storm.

His chapter was thus completely cut off from contact.

He was almost breaking down.

Even the last bit of identity is gone.

The old Storm Prophet quietly looked at the young Thousand Sons warrior opposite him who had closed his eyes and entered a meditative state again. He knew clearly every problem that was troubling the other party, but he was neither able to do anything nor wanted to intervene, because this was his own heart disease and demon, and he had to wait for him to figure it out.

The Storm Prophet looked up at the distant sky.

There are sparse clouds floating in the blue sky.

Suddenly, the Storm Prophet's lips curled up into a smile.

"Get up, Tenjur."

The old Storm Prophet suddenly spoke.

Danjur slowly opened his eyes.

"It's time for you to set off for Quanzhou Monastery."

The old Storm Prophet said calmly.

Tenjur frowned slightly when he heard this:

"What do you mean, Master?"

The Storm Prophet showed a mysterious smile:

"Your Chapter Master awaits you there."

The Thousand Sons warriors were stunned for a moment.

......

Yashan star area, Qiaoglisi, Quanzhou.

The Inquisition cruiser arrived here and was soon discovered by the White Scars fleet patrolling the galaxy and was asked to immediately identify itself. It can be seen that the entire Fifth Regiment is still in a state of combat readiness, somewhat alert and even nervous.

After the Inquisition cruiser was identified, it was allowed to dock in Chogris. Looking down from orbital space, Chogris still maintained the original natural landscape of a wild world, with mountains, grasslands, rivers and oceans that had not been developed. There was no heavy pollution like in the Hive World, but there was no construction either. The entire planet did not even have a spaceport, so the cruiser could only dock above the Chapter Fortress Monastery.

Fu Qinghai took a shuttle to the surface, and the shuttle landed in the Quanzhou Monastery in the Kuntaka Mountains. Fu Qinghai took off his ghost armor and put on the blue shell. When he walked out of the cabin, he found that many familiar faces were already waiting for him:

an old woman in an old military uniform.

A Leviathan-type siege dreadnought.

There are also many White Scars warriors.

"Aoyama!?"

Fu Qinghai was not wearing a helmet. When Elijah Lavallee saw his face, he immediately exclaimed and stumbled over, as if wanting to confirm.

"Sizu."

Fu Qinghai hurriedly supported the female general.

"Qingshan, are you still alive?"

Ilya put his hands on Fu Qinghai's arm armor and looked up at his face carefully. He said in disbelief,

"Hasn't the Iron Pagoda Regiment been engulfed by the subspace storm? I have confirmed many times with the Astronomican and the Inquisition. Have you escaped from the storm?"

"I am the only one who escaped."

Fu Qinghai explained briefly:

"This is a long story, Sizu, let me explain it to you later. Where is the Khan now?"

Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point.

"He...he's missing."

Ilya lowered his head and said with a look of pain.

"hiss..."

Fu Qinghai took a deep breath when he heard this.

Why was it still so damn late?

"Chasing the Dark Eldar into the Webway?"

Fu Qinghai asked tentatively.

"You know that too?"

Ilya raised his head and asked blankly:

"I haven't even reported it to Terra yet."

really...

Fu Qinghai cursed inwardly.

But he was also confused: before he went to Chogris, he recalled the setting data in his mind. According to the normal timeline of the Warhammer 40K universe, Chagatai disappeared in 081.M31. Now it is only 080.M31. Why did he disappear a year in advance?

At this time, in the crowd behind Elijah Lavallee, several storm prophets were whispering.

"Is that person sure to be Qingshan Nayanhan?"

A Storm Prophet asked.

"I don't know. The Iron Pagoda Chapter was trapped in the warp storm for ten years. He could be anything. Have you ever thought about why he was the only one who came out?"

Another Storm Prophet asked back.

"We'd better be cautious and confirm it."

Some people say it's never a bad idea to be careful.

"Hmph, not necessary."

A muffled groan suddenly sounded above the heads of the group of storm prophets. A hoarse and rough voice came from the pitch-black observation hole of the Leviathan siege dreadnought.

"Don't bother with any psychic confirmation. I only took one look and I knew he was still the same guy, the one I brought back from the colony!"

The Dreadnought said with a buzzing sound.

I could hear the displeasure in his voice.

Several storm prophets looked at each other.

"As you said, Ogedei Nayan Khan."

A Storm Prophet said respectfully.

"The Khan also faced off against stragglers of the Traitor Army and Dark Eldar slave raiders. He battled a powerful Dark Eldar lord on the world of Korushir V and disappeared while pursuing the xenos deep into the Webway."

Elijah Lavallee recounts the events.

"One of the Dark Eldar Cabal Archons claimed that he came for you, Qingshan. He spread video and audio information about the massacre and torture of residents in the Yashan Sector. His methods were cruel and outrageous. He also mentioned your name in the video."

Elijah Lavallee warned.

"Mentioned my name?"

Fu Qinghai was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, he said he wanted revenge on you."

Ilya nodded in affirmation:

"This also aroused the interest of the Khan."

Fu Qinghai searched in his mind.

"Oh, I remember now."

Fu Qinghai suddenly realized:

At that time, he had just obtained an Emperor-class battleship and escorted Master Quinto on a Goliath-class factory ship and countless imperial transport ships to the border star zone. The Goliath-class factory ship was like a hot commodity in the universe, attracting the attention of a number of enemies including the Ork Blood Axe Pirates, the Night Lords Chaos Warband and the Dark Eldar Slave Fleet, but they were eventually defeated one by one by Qingshan Khan.

The Dark Eldar warship is the final enemy.

At that time, a Dark Eldar captain did say:

We are going to come to the Yashan star zone, the White Scars' territory, to get back our territory!

That guy... turned out to be him!

So, could it be that the Primarch entered the Webway a year in advance to hunt down the Eldar? This series of butterfly effects was actually because of the Dark Eldar that I drove away many years ago?

Fu Qinghai's expression kept changing.

"What's his name?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

"He said his name was 'Flask Malidrach', and he styled himself 'the murderous prince of the poisonous crown of Comoros', claiming to be the archon of the Shaved Flesh and Bloody Skulls Conspiracy."

Elijah Lavallee said sternly.

"Very good, very good, Comoros, right?"

Fu Qinghai clenched his teeth and spoke in a grim tone.

He clenched the bone amulet in his hand.

It doesn't matter if other races can't control you.

I can enter the Internet, but I can't control you?

Just wait! This is some bullshit about murdering a prince.

Sooner or later I'll have time to deal with these little bastards.

"Stinky boy!!!"

There was a buzzing sound in the distance.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked over. A siege dreadnought mech swung its two "arms" and strode towards him. Its huge mechanical claws made a "bang bang" sound as they stepped on the smooth stone floor.

"Boss, long time no see, how are you?"

Fu Qinghai nodded and greeted him.

The shout of "Boss" made the Dreadnought Mech overjoyed.

Ogedei Nayan Khan laughed loudly and said:

"Don't worry about me, I'm in good hands."

"but!"

The Dreadnought changed the subject and said in a deep voice:

"I was awakened from my dark slumber, and then suddenly I was told by these guys that my Primarch was missing! This made me feel very bad, do you understand, kid? No matter what method you use, you have to be responsible for finding him, otherwise you will never return to Chogris!"

Ogedei threatened word by word.

"I understand, Boss, leave it to me."

Fu Qinghai took the responsibility without saying a word.

"Good, I'm going back to bed."

The Dreadnought Mech was about to turn and leave after saying this.

"No hurry, Boss, wait."

Fu Qinghai raised his hand to stop Ogedei.

The Dreadnought twisted its body and turned back.

Fu Qinghai looked at Elijah Lavallee:

"Sizu, who is the current White Scars Chapter Leader?"

"Shayban Khan."

Elijah LaValley says:

"I specified it, and they all agreed to it."

"Okay, where is he now?"

Fu Qinghai nodded and asked again.

"He is in the patrol fleet of the Yashan Star Region."

Ilya answered honestly.

"Notify Shiban Khan to come back. Also, please ask Sizu to notify the Destroyers, Plunderers, Berserkers, and Storm Lords, the four White Scars regiments, to return to Chogris as soon as possible."

Fu Qinghai looked serious and said in a deep voice:

"I have something important to announce."

......

　1. "Tanjur" means "reincarnated child" in Tibetan.

　　2. Strictly speaking, the Thousand Sons Legion has six schools. As mentioned before, the "School of the Eagle" where Ctesias was located was banned by Magnus because it was too dangerous. Later, the Thousand Sons Legion claimed to have five major schools.

　　 3. Yesugei's short story comes from the short story "Brotherhood of the Storm", in which Yesugei described the golden figure as "the cold golden sun". This classic name of the emperor was first spoken by Yesugei.
