Chapter 64—The Road to Salvation (3)
The warm glow of the promethium brazier danced freely, dispelling the unique dampness of the study, the pale orange firelight warmed Luo Jia's face, his appearance very similar to that of the emperor looked quite sacred under the warm light, the pale gold skin color outlined the gilded rune marks, and the only thing left in the room was the friction sound of the quill pen constantly writing.
If you listen closely, you can also hear the subtle sound of the lips and teeth of the progenitor opening and closing, and it is Luo Jia silently reciting the sacred prayer of the "Book of Words".
At this very moment, Loga is working on a document that will be of great use for the future, and for this reason, he has been working tirelessly for dozens of standard Terra days, and he still writes non-stop, unless there is any urgent event that warrants his involvement, or...
"Loga, the 3917th canon note seems to be a bit ambiguous - I think you'd better revise it."
Elaine walked up to Loga with a stack of heavy papers.
“… What's wrong? ”
Luo Jia stopped writing with some confusion.
Loga was accustomed to the sister's unannounced visit—she seemed to be reminiscent of Perturabo in many ways, and she was always able to notice the details.
"Just look at it."
Elaine flipped through a stack of heavy papers and handed it to Loga.
Luo Jia looked at the original manuscripts of these Holy Texts with some confusion, most of them were researched by himself and Elaine in a few days of discussion about the future, and they were also his best ideas for the future of the human empire-
"[As for the issue of religious belief, both the mother group and the child group are based on the 'imperial truth' in their propaganda - for some remote worlds that do not yet understand the existence of the emperor, they can be allowed to adapt to the direction of local beliefs to a certain extent. 】… I don't think there's a problem, huh? ”
Loga looked at Elaine in confusion, and Elaine covered her face a little helplessly.
- I clearly didn't mention to Luo Jia that the [Great Devourer] that will appear in the galaxy in the next life, why did this kid get the four-armed God Emperor out in advance...
Elaine took a deep breath, trying to calm her mind.
"My brother, it seems that the stories I have explained to you do have some inducing effect... But, no matter what, your desire to spread the power of faith across the Empire... It's better to dismiss it as soon as possible. ”
"But I don't think the power of faith can make any too big a mistake, sister. Now that we all know that the Father is facing some unspeakable evil beings, it is time to further guide this power born of the heart to Him, until..."
"—until he really becomes a god?"
Looking at Luo Jia's extremely reverent appearance, Elaine laughed out loud.
"In this day and age, the existence of faith and the power of the heart is the greatest mistake."
"I've spoken to you more than once, Loga. The religious kingdom of your dreams will only have a chance after the Great Expedition is completed, and one of the less than ideal scenarios... It is when all hopes of the human empire are shattered and reason is gone, that religion can be the pillar of mankind's backing. ”
"Our Father is fighting against the [monsters] born of the heart with reason and reality. Do you understand? Every sincere emotion you admire will become a stumbling block on our walking path... When our Father is able to accept the presence of this emotional power, He is no longer the Father we know it. ”
So, no matter how many millennia have passed, whether you and I are still alive or not, whether we are going to fail or to light, whatever it is... I will never stop you from supporting this [Mankind's Oldest Spiritual Refuge]... But, at the very least, not now. ”
Elaine stared powerfully into Lorga's eyes.
"Everything... Leave it until after the Great Expedition. ”
Loga seemed to want to say something, but after the word 'Great Expedition' was uttered by Elaine, she took the document with a little frustration.
He was convinced.
Indeed, he instinctively ignored the enormous implications that could be born in the smallest details, and it was not without seeing that those who were like a lifesaver for religion in some remote galaxy could indeed have some consequences if they did not bring the civilization contained in the truth of the empire to them...
Elaine crossed her arms and sighed as she watched as Luo Jia Xun quickly changed the contents of the holy text.
It seems that bringing the [knowledge] of the future to the present may indeed lead to some unexpected mistakes, at that time, I only talked to Luo Jia a little bit about some of the existence in the subspace, as well as the fate of the human empire, the mission and existence of the human lord, and the obligations of the genetic prototype, most of the crises that the human race will face in the future...
Luo Jia was already ecstatic and immediately decided to use many of the structures of the future human empire she mentioned in the Seventeenth Legion, and even longed to lie down and sleep until the future 'religious heaven'.
Fortunately, he did not explain to Luo Jia the whole picture of the 40th millennium, which was too distant and dark, and all the turmoil about the Great Rebellion, otherwise this fanatical believer would have to establish a national religion on his own, and then become the third genogen to be completely removed.
Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help but think back to the current point in time.
We are now at the end of the Great Expedition, and if nothing else, in a few decades, it will be the Battle of Ulano that crushed the Greenskins frenzy, and the Great Rebellion that followed...
She wasn't ready yet, not only was her feud war with the Blood God not over, her severed right arm needed to be retrieved, her treatment for Perturabo's twisted mind needed to be put on the agenda, and she wasn't even done to save Loga - she still had to keep an eye on her religious brother to prevent him from doing anything to make the emperor high blood pressure.
And judging by the fact that the Blood God deliberately threw himself into the City of Perfection, they didn't seem to care about the two tiny pawns who drove the origin of the rebellion at all...
In this way, the fate of the wolf shepherd god also seems very ethereal...
Endless thoughts and questions erupted and disappeared in the brains of the genetic protogen, as large and numerous as bright stars, and it was clear that facing a huge test from the four gods of chaos, time was not too much for her and the human empire.
A slight sadness appeared between Elaine's brows.
Immediately, Luo Jia's voice interrupted her thoughts.
“… Promise. ”
"There shouldn't be any problems... At the very least, there will be no problems now. ”
With a dejected expression, Loga handed Elaine the revised document.
Although he was grateful for Elaine's trust, the older sister, who had been sent by his father to 'inspect' him, did seem to be doing a good job of doing so.
Even the loopholes she inadvertently left behind were discovered by her.
Elaine took the document and looked at it for a moment to make sure there were no problems before nodding slightly in satisfaction.
"It's not bad."
This attitude of daring to face problems formally is not a disappointment to the energy he has poured into Luo Jia, a stinky boy full of religious beliefs.
After Elaine fully explained the emperor's attitude towards faith, the difficulties faced by the human empire, and the true meaning of the truth of the empire, Luo Jia was able to get out of that confused state of mind, and he truly regarded the emperor's existence as a god, and did not question his existence and actions anymore.
Although this situation is strange in this thirtieth millennium, if he can survive the Great Rebellion as a loyalist normally, he will naturally have a stage to shine in the fortieth millennium of the empire.
So, in terms of the state that Loga is showing now, Elaine is not too worried about Loga's future.
I was only worried that he might be killed after he made the emperor angry.
Immediately, under Lorga's even more bewildered gaze, Elaine began to pick out the marked parts of the thick pile of Sacred Texts one by one, and quickly stacked them on Lorgar's desk.
"This, this... These are also ——!? ”
"Of course, my dear brother."
Elaine smiled a little slyly.
Obviously, Luo Jia's 'unintentional move' is more than this one under her 'careful selection'.
And Elaine, the good sister who fulfilled the emperor's order to 'spy on Loga', naturally did not miss any of these opportunities to provoke, and Loga could not question any of her provocative behavior, because from any point of view, these were very reasonable behaviors - just like when she was stabbed by Perturabo.
Judging by the Lord of the Red Sands happily shoving a thick stack of papers in front of Luo Jia, she also enjoyed the feeling of being able to use her father's power to torture her Genetic Brothers.
- One day, Peturabo will not be able to escape.
Looking at Loga with satisfaction and lamenting the pitiful appearance of entering the work, Elaine thought to herself.
She couldn't help but think of the time when she was tormented by an infinite amount of work.
At the time, her task was only to manage the maelstrom... There was no gaze from chaos, and no time was too short.
And the heirs who surround him all day...
Thinking back to her children and the many worlds under her command, Elaine couldn't help but sigh.
That war consumed too many things, whether it was resources, lives...
"I wonder how they're doing..."
Looking at Luo Jia, who was immersed in writing the Legion's Holy Codex, Elaine's mind seemed to drift to a great vortex far away from the hazy star field.
I just hope they are well.
After all this is over, a new tomorrow awaits us.
Looking at her right arm, Elaine thought to herself.
……
……
I fell asleep last night while coding words!
Speaking of which, the World Eater's patrol bag seems to be out, and I'll go to one in two days!
