While Russell traveled through the anchor galaxy aboard the Kettle of Greed, the Far Eastern star field was still as busy as ever.

In the Far Eastern star field, the Espernes star region, a barren uninhabited galaxy quietly orbits a miserable white gas giant, with huge spots like devil's eyes, so this gas giant is also called by astronomers - white ghost.

The giant speck is called the Spectre Eye.

Above the Spectre Eye, in the synchronous orbit of the white Ghost Giant, a large, inconspicuous tower-like facility hovers silently, and the overall shape of the facility resembles the extended antenna of a human home television set in Terra's ancient times.

The massive antenna just stood still above the Spectral Eye, like a tall, pricked ear listening intently.

This is the 'Subspace Listening Station', an intelligence unit affiliated with the Spiritual Department of the Order of Truth.

This department was formerly known as the Hall of the Star Whisperers of Espernes, and many of the monitors were directly hired former Star Whisperers. Because of the instability of the Psykers, the expeditionary fleet to Terra did not take with them too many Psykers except for the necessary Navigators and Starwhisperers, and was not looted like the Foundry Workers and Vein Specialists.

Therefore, psionics can be said to be the most lacking type of talent in the Truth Order today, and the psionic department is also the largest number of the four major departments, so that in addition to assisting Colonia in deciphering the organic canon, there are also a large number of redundant manpower that can be stationed in the subspace listening station to listen to the subspace and listen to the astral communication from all over the empire.

For the listeners at the Ghost Eye listening station, this is an unusual day because it has just ...... They listened to a special star language.

"What's wrong with you? The body is so stiff ......"

A monitor held the freshly brewed hot cocoa, his eyes looked at his colleague who suddenly froze with wary eyes, he was a veteran star talker who had served in the Star Whispering Hall for many years, and he clearly knew how dangerous it was to monitor the subspace. Once the astral whisperer's scattered consciousness accidentally comes into contact with some evil being that lurks in the sea of souls, it is tainted by it...... It wouldn't be strange that the Star Whisperer would have turned into a monster in no time.

Fortunately, this fellow monitor was simply shocked by the content and origin of the information he heard, and was not exposed to some untouchable existence.

"Can you help me get the pen and paper over there? This message cannot be dictated, I have to write it by hand. The stiff listener pleaded.

"Let's go rest when you're done, you're a little tired." The old listener gave him a few simple instructions, and after bringing him a pen and paper, he didn't say anything more.

The other party took the pen and paper and immediately began to write, and soon, the handwritten parchment scroll was sent up through a highest-level expedited channel, and less than half an hour later, the orbit of the white ghost giant planet rippled in space caused by the jump engine.

A Cetus-class Titan ship leaped out of the bend of time and space, and it was a large warship that only department heads were qualified to mobilize, because the origin of this star language was so great that Promelia, who was the head of the psionic department, had to put down everything she was doing and come to the listening station to take a personal look.

The encryption of this star language is very old, and although it has been translated many times, it still maintains the highest level of encryption, and the ancient encryption method that has not changed for a long time is directed at Terra.

"Star Whisperer from Terra......" Promelia, who hurriedly boarded the listening station, took the carefully rolled parchment from the listener's slightly stiff hand and began to read the contents.

The professional monitor's handwriting is very neat and standard, and it is as easy to read as print, except that the pen at the end of each word is a little hasty, which is enough to see the excitement of the listener when he writes these contents:

[Due to the lack of conclusive evidence, in the name of the Archbishop of the Sun Domain, Terra has decided to reject the proposal of the Church of Espernez to canonize 'Alexei Reyput' as a living saint.] 】

"......" Plemelia fell silent.

"Alexey, isn't that living saint? The Emperor's Prophet Coming? Promelia was a little puzzled: "I remember that she has been called the Prophetess of the Emperor for many years, and everyone in the entire Far Eastern Frontier has assumed that she is a living saint worthy of it...... But what about this reply from Terra? ”

The young listener bowed his head slightly, not daring to reply.

Promelia thought for a moment and asked, "When was Alexei Reyput first called a 'prophetess' and a 'living saint'?" ”

The listener whispered back, "...... According to the genealogy of the Reiput family, in the 776th year of the 39th millennium, Alexei Reip, who was still a minor, performed the emperor's miracle for the first time on the main planet of Nifur, accurately predicting the time and place of an orc invasion and avoiding the destruction of a mineral planet; Later, he provided danger warnings and important fighters for Espernes's operations against aliens and chaos many times, and became famous, and was finally enshrined as a 'living saint' by the state religion. ”

"How many years is that now?"

"The 40th year of the 019th millennium, Director." The listener answered truthfully

“…… In other words, Terra has just replied to a request sent about 300 years ago. Promelia couldn't help but laugh.

As a young woman, she was born in Falla, run by the Order of Truth, and had not been subjected to the anthropomorphic rule of the Imperial bureaucracy, though she would hear the monks complain about how abstract and difficult the Human Empire was. But sure enough, only by touching it in person can you truly appreciate that the human empire is ...... What an abstract form of government.

Promelia sorted out her chaotic thoughts and calmed down:

"The Terra headquarters rejected the application of the Espernez branch to make Alexei the emperor's living saint, which means that the Terra expedition initiated by her is actually not legitimate......"

Further, Terra denied the narrative that the prophetess carried the emperor's will, which meant that her words and actions did not represent the emperor's will, and the contract signed by Alexei to cede the Far Eastern star field had no legal effect...... At least Terra doesn't admit it. ”

Excuse me......

Aware of the seriousness of the problem, Promelia quickly classified the message from Terra as top secret, using a spell to erase the memories of all those in the know, including the psykers who received the star language.

Because of Russell's absence, she didn't inform the other department heads of her peers about this, but went directly to the Quiet Black Domain, found Gray Wind who was docked next to the giant dockyard to oversee the master, and gave her this subtle reply.

After understanding the situation, Grey Wind responded very simply and rudely: "If Terra doesn't agree, then neutron will kill Terra." ”
