"When there is no way out, the only way to salvation is the dangerous road."

- Adrad Uslan

…………

The Void Whale managed to break out of the Screaming Vortex.

Fu Qinghai had heard that there was an area in the Screaming Vortex called the "Rope Turning Realm", which was the residence of another Tzeentch Great Demon Sal Tyre. Fu Qinghai didn't know where the Rope Turning Realm was located, but at present, it seemed that except for the initial encounter with the Flame Lord Demon Engine, the Void Whale had not encountered any Chaos Demons who tried to stop him.

The Idalong ship left the superwhale and turned to sail in the other direction. The Elven cruiser also moved much faster than the Human Empire warships when traveling at sub-light speeds, and soon arrived at a large portal on the outskirts of the Kronos Expansion Zone, a portal for warships to pass through.

Then the Adalong ship entered the tunnel.

Fu Qinghai silently noted down the location.

He didn't care about other places, but the Calixis Star Zone, including the Kronos Expansion Area on the edge of the Calixis Star Zone, had already been regarded by Fu Qinghai as his sphere of influence. The existence of any portal in these places is worth being wary of - as it is not only the Ark Spirits who can use the portals, but also the Dark Elves, Harlekey Spirits, and Elven Pirates.

The Adalong ship is speeding through the tunnels.

Go through one fork after another and branch.

Fu Qinghai and Saramande, who have been reunited for a long time, are still chatting about each other's recent situation, mainly Fu Qinghai told Saraamand about the process of his battle of wits and courage with Tzeentch and the Great Devil.

It turned out that we hadn't talked enough for a day.

A Spirit soldier came to the cabin and reported:

"Lord Saramande, here we are."

"So fast?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head and said in surprise.

"Yes, let's go, Aoyama."

Sarahmand said gracefully.

The Screaming Vortex and the Eye of Dread are both located in the Hazy Star Field, but the distance between the two is very far away, and if you use the traditional way of subspace jumping, it will take a month or two to reach it without a single moth - however, as we all know, there are the most moths in subspace, and it is possible to arrive early or late, and the specific sailing time is actually difficult to estimate accurately.

Although this is not the first time that the speed of light has been used to sail faster than light on the network, the top speed of a jet motorcycle and the top speed of an Ada Dragon ship are never comparable. In less than a day, he crossed almost half of the hazy star field, and the high efficiency and stability of the network navigation still surprised Fu Qinghai.

No wonder the emperor is so fond of the Internet.

Not to mention the stability that far exceeds the subspace jump.

Speed alone is an exaggeration.

……

Osvi Ark World.

The Idalong ship slowly docked at the airport.

Fu Qinghai followed Shalamander out of the battleship.

Along the way, Fu Qinghai's hideous and evil black armor and burly body shape that was different from ordinary people caused the spirit clans in the airport to look sideways. How many years has it been since there have been humans in the world of Usvi's Ark? And he's a Space Marine. Many Elven civilians have spent their entire lives in the Ark World following the path, and have never seen a Space Marine in their entire lives.

Walking in the smooth jade-like spirit bone passage, Fu Qinghai saw a spirit child next to him, standing beside his mother and blinking his eyes and looking at himself curiously. Meeting his gaze, the spirit child smiled and stretched out his finger to him, but was stopped by his mother. The Spirit Clan's eyes dodged and wandered, not daring to look at each other, and quickly picked up her child and moved away.

Fu Qinghai retracted his gaze and didn't care.

It's normal for them to feel scared.

That's where Space Marines come in.

"My father is waiting for you in the council, Aoyama."

Saramander looked back.

"Hmm."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

is about to meet the legendary old prophet, Aedad Uslan, Fu Qinghai also has a trace of fluctuation in his heart. This is the representative and leader of the Ark Spirit Clan, and his prophecy ability is superb—not the passive prophecy of St. Giles and Midnight Ghost, Adrad's cultivation of the Prophetic Way can take the initiative to start a purposeful prophecy.

And in a sense.

Adrade is also half a tragic figure.

He accurately predicted that Horus had been corrupted and descended into chaos, so he sent one of his Nether Lords to inform humanity and inform the Third Legion's genetic protogen, Fogrim. But he never thought that the Phoenix Lord had fallen earlier than the battle commander, and Fugen was the first genetic prototype to fall. In the end, the Nether Lord wiped out the entire Phoenix Guard, and then the Spirit Titan was strangled to death by Fugen.

Similar cases abound.

It can be predicted, but it can't be changed.

How do you describe Adrade? He's a gambler, a whammy, an unscrupulous old bastard and a riddler who is used to talking. But at the very least, his ability to see the future is incomparably strong, and his stance against chaos is incomparably strong, these two things are certain. The old prophet of today may not be as powerful as he was 10,000 years later, and he may not even be old, but his prophecy ......

Fu Qinghai paid 100% attention to it.

Far more than the importance of blind prophecy.

The two of them arrived at a secret room in the depths of the Ark World, where a pointed arch automatically cracked in the smooth and unmarked walls. Shalamander stood at the door and made a "please" gesture, Fu Qinghai nodded, and walked into the secret room alone.

The walls behind him were slowly healing, and there were no lamps in this room, but all the walls emitted a faint glow, a soft light characteristic of Spirit technology. The air is fresh and has a strange fragrance.

An elongated figure in a black robe and a crescent moon helmet floated on the floor, illuminated by a ray of light falling from the sky and surrounded by swirling runes.

"Hello, Aoyama Khan."

The black-robed prophet looked up and spoke.

"Hello, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai bowed his head calmly.

"You may be seated."

The prophet raised his hand to signal, and a cylindrical spirit bone round platform automatically rose at Fu Qinghai's feet, and the height was just right. Fu Qinghai sat down sideways and came face to face with the prophet.

"I could see eight Chaos Demons bound in her power armor, greedily snooping on my soul, and if it weren't for Sarahmande's repeated assurances, I would have thought I was a Chaos Space Marine."

Adrade spoke softly.

"This is the key to my survival through the storm."

Fu Qinghai didn't explain much.

"I also learned after talking to my daughter, it turns out that she was able to successfully escort the Paseril Barbarian Spirit Clan to evacuate and retrieve our artifact, the Sword of the Old Woman, thanks to your help. I have to say, Aoyama Khan, you surprise and comfort me, you are one of the few enlightened people in the human empire, and you have not been brainwashed by those rigid dogmas and fanatical propaganda. The young race of humanity lacks guidance, and there is a general distrust of our race. However, you know that you and I both face a common enemy, and that is the Primordial Annihilator. ”

Aydrad made his point.

The Aeldari call the demons "the Primordial Annihilators".

Space necrons call demons "creeping enemies".

"No, you're wrong, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai shook his head firmly and said:

"I don't trust the Spirits, not at all."

"I only trust Sarahmande."

Fu Qinghai emphasized the words and said seriously.

Adrade was visibly stunned when he heard this.

"Okay."

The Supreme Prophet nodded and said.

He grabbed a rune from the air, examined it, and placed it in the turbulence around him, the rustle of black robes echoing through the ancient silence of the chamber.

"Then let's talk about the matter at hand."

Adrade changed the subject and said:

"Actually, the Council of the Prophets in Usvi did not fully support my decision, they had always thought that I was interfering too much in my fate, and therefore opposed many of my decisions, including this one. The Council of the Prophets thinks we shouldn't get involved in a dispute between Space Marines and their Chaos cousins, it's a thankless effort to do so - in a sense they're right. I'm telling you this to make you understand, Aoyama, you won't get much support from the Ark World in this operation, I have done my best to send someone to bring you here from the Screaming Vortex, and the rest is on your own. ”

"I understand."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"Thank you for your help, Supreme Prophet."

Fu Qinghai had expected this, he didn't expect to get the full support of the Usvi Ark World at all—not to mention why the Ark Spirit Clan should support him, even if they wanted to fully support him, just imagine that the Black Sanctuary saw a group of Spirit Clan warships approaching, and his first reaction was to turn the muzzle of the gun and fire.

Adrade is considered an ultra-radical in the world of Osvi's Ark, and many of his actions are actually not authorized and approved by the Council of the Prophets, and are completely self-proposing, and after so many times, the Council of the Prophets naturally has a lot of criticism against him - he was even expelled from the Council of the Prophets in the era of 42K.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself?"

Adrade asked, staring at him.

"All I have is faith, the supreme prophet."

Fu Qinghai replied calmly.

"I'll send you to the Gate of Cadia."

Adrad spoke out his decision.

"That's enough."

Fu Qinghai slowly stood up and said.

……

Shalamander and Adrade stood side by side in a hollowed-out skeleton-like corridor behind the airport, watching the Ida Dragon slid off the boarding deck again.

"Since the Council of the Prophets has made it clear that they are against it, why do you choose to help Aoyama, Father?"

Saramander asked, turning her head.

"The Council of the Prophets thinks I'm interfering too much with fate."

Adrad looked at him and whispered:

"I don't deny what they are accusing me about. But this time it's different, I'm not interfering with fate, on the contrary, I'm letting fate get back on its track. ”
