Chapter 376 The Rules of the Subspace
The fleet sets sail through subspace.

Back when the ancient sages were still roaming the human world...

These network channels became the navigation routes for the Ancient Saints, allowing them to travel safely, quickly, and efficiently through these worlds.

However, with the extinction of the ancient sages, these nets have lost their human maintenance.

Although they were navigating the network, it felt to them like they were sailing through a vast, unending starry sky. Only in the middle were there some connecting points, and on these points, which were like capillaries on a major artery, numerous network connection points were linked together nearby like endpoints.

Basically, you can access every planet through these networks.

"The detected subspace energy concentration is very low, with almost no subspace force."

The detector is monitoring the concentration of subspace content in the real universe in real time.

After all, the concentration of subspace will seriously affect the degree of change of the warship. A high concentration of subspace will also affect the physical and mental health of the crew and soldiers on the voyage. Even if the magic resistance is high, there will still be a certain degree of danger.

"It's even lower than when we activated the anti-magic domain. It seems that the ancient saints' methods are indeed powerful. No wonder they can be called saints. Their technological creations are still a miracle to us even now."

Indeed, even now, the Gamma World is still amazed by the methods used by the Ancient Saints to build the Networld within this world. The subspace is entirely a sea of ​​souls generated by fluctuations in emotional energy. In such a world, constructing a building that is completely isolated from the chaos and rules of the subspace is indeed an absurd thing.

"Never mind those things. We don't intend to build something so laborious and thankless. Maybe they used some kind of secret method that we don't understand."

You mean magic?

The conversations between the Space Marines reveal their keen interest in these secrets, surpassing many of the Imperium's warriors who only know how to fight. They are not merely warriors who only know how to fight; they also possess the abilities of true scholars, researchers, and thinkers. This multifaceted nature makes their thinking more flexible and adaptable than the outdated and rigid conventions of the Imperium.

"Try to talk about these things as little as possible here."

The Imperial Guards passed by these people and issued a decree.

After all, this is still Chaos territory. Although their fleet's voyage can avoid the attention of the four Chaos Gods, if they really attract their attention, it will be a loss for them. Their goal is not, after all, the four Chaos Gods in the warp.

"Yes!"

The outer network space was extremely spacious; they could hardly see the end of the outer perimeter at a glance.

It was as if everything was extremely far away from them, but their travel speed was hundreds or even thousands of times faster than that in the real universe.

Of course, if they use the Ether Phase Engine, they will be faster, but their purpose will be even more obvious: they will attract a large number of Chaos forces.

The stargate of Morocco!
This is the place Horus went before his decisive battle with the Emperor.

According to the description of the Four Gods.

It was within this stargate that the original Emperor obtained forbidden power from the warp, the power of the Dark Lord, and a certain secret fire. This stargate was also the weakest link between the warp and the real universe, and of course, it was also where Horus ultimately fell completely.

Morocco Star.

This is a planet on the edge of the human empire, which the Emperor secretly visited during the Great Crusade.

On this planet, there is an ancient stargate, possibly a device created by some ancient race, such as the Old Ones, or even more distant races, that leads directly to the deepest part of the warp.

In this world, the Emperor obtained the method to create the Primarch, as well as forbidden powers, and made certain promises with Chaos.

However, because the history is so long ago, almost no one except the Emperor knows what the Emperor actually obtained here. Perhaps he did obtain the most mysterious thing that was originally hidden behind the Star Gate by the ancient holy race in another way.

"Is the planet Morocco and its stargate behind what the ancient saints hid? Or did the emperor also obtain some kind of power from the depths of this place?"

There are also certain rumors in the subspace, such as a mysterious prophecy about the Chaos Gods that eight Chaos Gods will completely converge at a certain point in time. When the eight Chaos Gods are fully converged, the entire subspace will be completely complete, and at that time, the primordial chaos at the very center will appear.

This was a prophecy that even Vashtor firmly believed in during the chaos.

This is also why he so desperately wants to become the fifth evil god in the warp.

Because the price of becoming an evil god is that the possibility is limited. Not everyone will become an evil god in the subspace. And if all the gods occupy all eight positions of the eight-pointed star, then there will be no place for them in the subspace.

When the primordial chaos destroys everything in the warp, all the other warp creatures and demons who didn't become the eight evil gods of the warp's eight-pointed star will be wiped out by the primordial chaos. This is unacceptable to any evil god. Of course, this excludes the Emperor. For the Emperor, witnessing the destruction of chaos might actually be a good thing, fulfilling his last wish. Unfortunately, the seats of the chaos gods are limited; sitting on them signifies eternity. Just as Vashtor can be a malevolent art on the eight-pointed star, but a malevolent art doesn't necessarily represent Vashtor.

Becoming one of the eight points of the star can solidify his connection with malevolent arts, making him a malevolent art. However, if he cannot become a Chaos God, he, like other demigods and those utterly useless Chaos Demons, will become cannon fodder that can be discarded at will.

And there are other benefits to becoming an evil god on the Chaos Octagon.

When the human soul disappears, the entire universe will no longer experience intense subspace emotional reactions due to fluctuations in the real universe. The Chaos Gods will also disappear, but their eight positions will remain fixed. Once fluctuations occur again in the real universe, they will regain their unparalleled power.

The positions of chaos were completely determined from the very beginning.

North: Erosion and Destruction
Northeast: Hellstorm

East: Vicious Arts

Southeast: Ecstasy Perception

South: Greedy Dissolution

Southwest: Corruption Erodes
West: Invisible Distortion

Northwest: Unintentional Killing

These mysterious, yet-to-appear, chaotic evil gods may already be predetermined by some, and the Emperor's identity as the Dark King is one of them, corresponding to the due north direction.

In reality, the Emperor's due north direction is not necessarily the due north direction of the subspace, because even the current eight-pointed star is deflected, including the Blackrock Fortress they captured. This eight-pointed star structure, which represents the subspace, operates on the principle of the eight-pointed star's transformation between order and disorder.

"Beware, the power of the warp is surging; there must be some damage."

In the network, there are often some damaged areas. After all, these places have existed for hundreds of millions of years. In such a long time, without the repair of the ancient sages, many of the damaged areas have become unsolvable.

Research in the Gamma World is, after all, scientific research, while research like that of the Ancient Saints is more like magic. If the Gamma World wants to achieve real results, it will probably need to rekindle its technology.

Therefore, even if the Gamma World is incredibly trusting, it cannot completely entrust its life to the technology of the ancient sages.

Therefore, the Gamma World began to use its technology to shield itself from the subspace. The first layer was to set up a protective barrier to completely protect the Gamma World from its integration into the subspace. The special method was to adjust the frequency so that the Gamma World's warships would appear to the subspace creatures as just other floating objects in the subspace. Then, more powerful spatial and temporal devices were used for protection, so that even if an enemy invaded, it would take a long time to reach the warships. The final layer was a strong particle grid, a method that was specifically designed to counter subspace forces.

Of course, if all else fails, they can only have the Soulless cleanup team, equipped with Saturn Terminator armor, amplify their Soulless characteristics to completely shield all subspace energy. Even if those subspace creatures get close, they'll have to consider whether they can defeat them.

Ordinary subspace creatures rarely engage in direct combat with soulless beings, as they are the natural counter to them. Even if these beings could be resurrected, they would still need human assistance. Apart from the Four Gods, no one is capable of or willing to pay the price to bring back those who have been killed.

Their voyage was almost entirely smooth sailing.

Things went a little too smoothly.

However, they did not let their guard down.

After all, this is the depths of the Networld, and also the depths of the subspace.

Even the Four Gods rarely come to this chaotic area that the Four Gods don't care about.

When the warships sailed to this area.

They gradually sensed something was amiss.

The once safe world began to boil over.

It's like a catfish entering a lake.

In subspace, there is no front, back, left, right, east, west, north, south, up, or down.

But in the clouds above, they vaguely sensed some enormous creature slumbering.
