Chapter 1012, Coexisting with Eternity
By utilizing the talent development in the [Heroes] interface, the functional building exchange in the [Buildings] interface, and the troop training in the [Training] interface, Gu Hang has to put a lot of thought into how to transform the billions of bonus points earned through war and the fixed monthly income from the territory into real political, economic, and military strength for the alliance.
He was stationed in the Storm Kingdom, maintaining the Thunder Torch Tower and using it to suppress the Alliance and the entire New Empire, normalizing interstellar travel and communication, and reducing the effects of Chaos Corruption.
As the Prime Minister of the new empire and leader of the alliance, he handles major strategic political decisions.
Plan how to spend your Blessing Points in the system interface;
These are Gu Hang's three types of daily work.
It's really routine, so routine that he can't put down any aspect of his work, and it already takes up most of his time.
He has less and less free time to move around and control his own destiny, and now he has almost none.
Gu Hang certainly wouldn't be happy about this situation, nor would he enjoy it. Although he's somewhat of a workaholic, he's also abnormally so, finding pleasure in working all his time.
But it shouldn't be too painful.
On the one hand, he's gotten used to it, he's become numb to it, and inertia drives him to keep doing it; he can endure it.
On the other hand, there is also a comparison.
Although both were imprisoned, the severity of his imprisonment was clearly not as high as that of the Emperor.
At least Gu Hang can move freely in the real universe, as long as he's willing to pay the price. But the Emperor can't return to the mortal realm at all.
Even disregarding the consequences of his actions, Gu Hang is at least on Rage Star, where he enjoys considerable freedom. The veil of reality is thinner here, and it is the origin of the Storm God Kingdom. As long as Gu Hang is on Rage Star, the difference between his current state and that of his current state in the Storm God Kingdom is not significant.
In this world, at least he could still live a somewhat ordinary life. His wife, Yelicia, had also largely relinquished all command duties in the front lines. She remained an important member of the Dark Side Expedition's military council, but primarily handled administrative tasks.
Although he's quite busy, it's much better than Gu Hang's situation.
At least, the two can still have married life, unlike in earlier years when they would be separated for a long time.
Although Gu Hang doesn't have much free time, even a little bit of free time can greatly improve his condition.
Life continued in this way, watching as the empire's territory was gradually reclaimed through its covert and relentless expeditions; the citizens of the empire, across the entire universe, while not entirely out of danger, generally lived better lives during the Great Cataclysm, even compared to the old empire era; and on a human level, they weathered a major crisis and had the opportunity to shine once more…
These things are already within reach.
Perhaps there is still a long way to go and a considerable amount of time to travel, but there are no obstacles in sight, and Gu Hang has a long enough life to witness that moment arrive.
At that time, I can say with certainty that I have lived up to my mission in coming to this universe.
Of course, there are obstacles, but they are not entirely absent.
The greatest danger still comes from those four evil gods, and from the warp itself.
The warp brought psionic energy, faster-than-light travel, and the ability to communicate instantly across star systems and cosmic domains. Technology built upon the utilization of the warp is the core that underpins a cosmic empire.
However, the fickle and turbulent subspace is known as the ocean of souls. It is constantly changing and surging, and the risks it brings are objective, they are 'natural disasters,' and they are something that humanity cannot completely avoid by any means at present.
And those four evil gods born from the subspace… unfortunately, the stronger Gu Hang became, the more he realized that those four gods were eternal and immortal. Those four evil gods represented a certain aspect of the will of all living beings and all souls in this universe. Unless the entire universe was destroyed and the subspace, this ocean of souls, collapsed, the four gods would never perish.
But their immortality does not mean they are invincible.
On the contrary, the league has defeated them many times in the past.
It wasn't just the alliance; throughout the empire's millennia-long history, they had also achieved numerous victories.
Although the four gods are eternal and immortal, they can come back stronger no matter how many times they lose, while for the human empire, each loss represents a wound. If they lose a major loss—like the previous Battle of Terra—they might be wiped out.
But at least until now, humanity has persevered.
Gu Hang believes that humanity will continue to persevere in the future.
Moreover, will the warp always be this dangerous?
Maybe.
Gu Hang believes that the fluctuations in the warp are actually cyclical, but this cycle is extremely long. According to many historical records, at least ten thousand years ago, when the empire was first established, the warp was not as dangerous as it is today.
The outbreak of the Imperial Civil War was a major upheaval; but in the aftermath, the waves of the Warp have only grown stronger and more dangerous.
After the power of the warp waves continued to increase for ten thousand years, the landmark event marking the peak was the fall of Cartier and the appearance of the scarlet scar.
According to Eldar history, the great strengthening of the Warp occurred before the establishment of the human empires and during their destruction, marked by the birth of the Slaanesh.
But going back further, when the Eldar Empire was at its peak, including humanity's so-called 'Golden Age,' the Warp was far less dangerous than it is today.
Gu Hang could sense that as the scarlet scars were slowly repaired, this wave of subspace frenzy should gradually subside.
Perhaps the warp will never return to its most peaceful state; many years from now, another catastrophe, no less severe than the Scarlet Scar, or even more devastating, may arrive...
But the empire has already gone through two cycles, and Gu Hang will lead the human race to deal with one crisis after another in the future.
Humanity is learning, and will continue to learn, how to coexist with the dangerous Warp and the cruel Four Gods.
……
Just as Gu Hang was contemplating the future of his entire race, a message was delivered to his desk with the highest priority.
That was a message from the Dark Side Expedition - the Angel Expeditionary Force.
They suspected they had discovered traces of a son of God.
Gu Hang immediately began to pay close attention to the matter and requested that the latest information be reported at any time.
