Chapter 232. What's Left for the Emperor
The storms of the warp no longer swept through, the pollution of the corrupt will no longer surged, and the physical universe, which had long been deeply poisoned, was revitalized once again.
This great upheaval that impacted the universe subtly altered the entire cosmic landscape. All the races that were still fighting ceased their battles and quietly observed the warp undergoing this great transformation, as well as the strange forces surging between the universes.
Humanity has ushered in an incredible wave of development. Lost territories have returned, and warships from the Golden Age have been traversing the Warp. Humans no longer need to consume corpse starch, and fresh plants have once again taken root and sprouted on human territory.
Without the constraints of warp corruption, previously unusable technologies were put back into development, beginning to purify the planet's environment, which was on the verge of collapse.
At the Emperor's behest, statues appeared out of thin air on various planets, depicting the miraculous King Noah, the god of hope and salvation in people's hearts.
A new era has begun, which the Empire has named the Era of Exploration.

Holy Terra, within the palace belonging to the Emperor.
The emperor was dressed in casual clothes, his powerful strength restrained, his face resolute, and his eyes gleaming with determination.
Beside him was an extremely ethereal shadow, as if it would disappear at any moment.
The emperor looked at the phantom and said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you for helping me. I can feel that as time goes by and as war breaks out, I will eventually fall into darkness. Perhaps the Four Gods will die by my hand, but civilization will surely perish, and everything will be merged with darkness."
The blurry phantom was naturally Ji Yuan. After altering some of the nature of the subspace, he had almost exhausted the power he transmitted to this universe.
It would be very difficult for him to recover, not only because his main body and his clone were too far apart, but also because of the universe itself.
The Warhammer universe is rejecting external forces, and even now, it is still rejecting Ji Yuan, urging him to leave.
After altering the nature of the subspace, the passage connecting the Warhammer universe was directly repelled. However, Zero was unharmed and had already been sent to the Ultra Dimension by Ji Yuan.
This might be some kind of cosmic self-preservation mechanism, preventing too powerful external forces from causing the collapse of cosmic order.
However, once those statues generate enough power through human faith to connect with the original body, he will be able to freely explore this world, and this shouldn't take too long.
Ji Yuan waved his hand, looked at the Emperor, and replied softly, "There's no need for that. I never stand idly by when it comes to the hope of a universe. If I hadn't encountered the Four Evil Gods who were heading to my universe, I wouldn't have come to this universe. The chaos started because of them, and it also ended because of them."
The Emperor asked in bewilderment, "They actually want to extend their reach to other universes? What an enormous appetite! Now that they are sealed away, I will not allow them to rise again. The history of the Four Evil Gods will be history forever."
"The Four Gods aren't the biggest threat," Ji Yuan frowned. "The universe you're in is very special. The fact that those beings are willing to help Tzeentch means that this universe must hold a great secret. Unfortunately, my current power is insufficient to support my exploration."
Those Outer Gods don't just go to any universe, let alone offer help. The universes they travel to must hold some kind of deep secret.
The Marvel Universe is like this, and so is the Warhammer Universe. Although he didn't know why they left after seeing him, Ji Yuan didn't believe they went everywhere. It was just a pity that he couldn't capture their coordinates, otherwise he could have tried to uncover their secrets.
The Emperor gazed ahead, his imposing presence radiating authority. "Secrets? Whatever the secrets may be, I will protect my empire and safeguard this universe. I will never repeat the mistakes of the past, and with the gifts you have bestowed upon me, I believe I am capable enough to handle anything within the universe. Give me time, and I may well be able to spread glory beyond the cosmos!"
The Emperor has grasped the true nature of the Warp. Having faced death and been reborn, he has come to understand what true power is.
Now that the four gods are sealed away, he is the only god in the entire subspace, and human faith is more active than ever before. In time, he will enter another realm, the realm of true gods.
"There's no need to be nervous. I believe you can lead humanity to new heights," Ji Yuan said with a smile.
In fact, his ability to transform into the miracle king Noah largely stemmed from the emotional attachment he had placed in the emperor, which he then cleverly channeled and merged with Noah's power.
Miracles, hope, and protection—these are the very meanings that emperors represent to humankind.
In the Warhammer universe, he is humanity's guiding light, a being born of miracles, and the eternally guardian, sorrowful king.
What you think about becomes what you get; what you imagine becomes what you achieve.
If one is determined enough, the power to change reality can be born from these emotional attachments.
Otherwise, how could the clone transmitted by Ji Yuan exert such enormous power and even directly change the universe itself?
Ultimately, without the will to save oneself, even if others want to help, it will be in vain.
To get help from others, you must first help yourself.
"I feel much more at ease after hearing that."
The emperor laughed heartily.
He had experienced too much darkness, witnessed too many wars, and endured too many trials. He had thought about ending the corruption of the physical universe by the Four Gods and about leading humanity back to the Golden Age one day. He never imagined that things would unfold like this.
Sitting on the throne for ten thousand years, was it painful? Undoubtedly, every second was filled with unimaginable suffering, but the emperor never regretted it. He always held onto hope, waiting for an opportunity.
But he didn't expect that things would end so hastily.
Several evil gods, driven by their own desires, coveted other universes and attempted to bring disaster to them, only to destroy themselves in the end. Whenever I think about it, it feels somewhat absurd and unbelievable.
Evil gods are born from various desires, and they also fall because of desires. This is truly a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable.
It feels so good to be bathed in light.
"It's time for me to go."
Ji Yuan's figure grew increasingly dim, almost disappearing into a sketch-like silhouette.
"it is good."
The emperor stood up, his eyes swirling with a mix of emotions, which ultimately coalesced into just three words.
"Thank you."
Ji Yuan nodded and said, "When you encounter something you can't resist, never give up hope. I've left a force of hope here. Call on Noah's name, and he will answer your call and give you strength."
After saying that, his figure slowly disappeared and vanished completely.
