Chapter 19: The Past of the Spirit Race

The network is definitely one of the top technological creations in the Warhammer universe.

It was built by the Ancient Sanctuary, the mightiest race in the galaxy ever, with godlike technology, and there is no other force in the world that can master this technology.

In front of the authentic products of the ancient saints, the emperor's artificial network is like a clumsy defective imitation, and the quality is completely incomparable.

The network is equivalent to a kind of highway, allowing the inhabitants of the physical world to use subspace for rapid interstellar voyages without being affected by subspace evils.

The network of routes extending in all directions spreads throughout the subspace, and the destinations it leads to are full of idealism, like countless intertwined dreams, which are filled with many grotesque and mysterious.

No one can get a full view of the entire network, and some parts are large enough to hold an entire city and be used by giant ships to sail through them.

Even at the time of the fall of the Spirit Race, the huge impact caused by the birth of Slaanesh tore an eternal rift called the Eye of Fear in the center of the galaxy, and most of the network channels were well preserved.

Many of the Aeldari were able to survive the destruction of their lives by hiding in the depths of these networks in advance.

Among these survivors is Xi Lego, who is the laughing god of the Spirit Race.

Back then, at the moment of his birth, Slaanesh almost slaughtered the entire temple of the spirit race, eating and wiping those ancient spirit gods, and only three spirit gods did not lie down in seconds, but found a chance to save themselves.

Those three gods, one is the god of war and murder of the Spirit Race, the brother of the god king Asuyan, and the power is second only to the god king's bloody hand Kane.

According to the mythology of the Spirit Race, Kane's power can barely compete with Slaanesh, but the battle between the two of them also attracted the attention of another subspace evil god, the Sadist, which led to Kane's fall.

The Blood God rightfully believes that the Eldar god of war and murder should be subordinate to a terror who also possesses the godhead of war and killing, rather than some perverted sissy who only knows how to have fun. Kane's fall into the hands of Slaanesh was an insult to the warriors.

Slaanesh, on the other hand, believed that the gods of the Spirit Race were her prey, and that the other Chaos Evil Gods had no right to interfere.

Therefore, in order to compete for Kane's belonging, the two Chaos Evil Gods fought in subspace.

However, Kane, who was caught in the middle, could not withstand the impact of these two powerful forces, and was torn into thousands of pieces.

In the end, neither the God of Blood nor the Lord of Pleasure could take it all.

The second to be spared from being devoured by Slaanesh was Aisha, the goddess of life of the spirits.

It is said that when Slaanesh slaughtered the Pantheon, Aisha desperately ran away and cried for help, and in a daze, she broke into the realm of Nurgle, the Lord of the Blight.

Nurgle heard Aisha's cries. He captured Aisha before Slaanesh did, and locked her in the deepest part of her garden.

Slaanesh couldn't penetrate into Nurgle's realm, so he had no choice but to give up with Aisha.

The captured goddess of life became a living sample of Nurgle's test disease, and she was put in a cage and consumed a soup of Nurgle's elaborate concoction every day.

Nurgle is constantly tweaking and perfecting his work based on the time it takes Aisha to overcome the toxins, and the treatment is quite miserable, year after year, and never ends.

And the third god, and the only one who has completely survived the fall of the Spirit Clan, is the scheming Spirit Clan's laughing god West Lego.

Long before the catastrophe erupted, West Lego was aware of the impending threat.

He had his dependents, the Harlequin Troupe, constantly tour the cities of the Elven Empire, hoping to awaken the Elven society, which at that time only knew how to indulge in pleasure, and guide them out of the pleasures of depravity.

However, such a remedy had no effect, and the birth of Slaanesh was inevitable.

Therefore, West Lego can only let the harlequins collect the cultural knowledge of the Spirit Race and store it in the depths of the network as the spark for the revival of the Spirit civilization after the disaster.

That place is now the Black Library.

And by the time the disaster really happened, when the other spirit gods were being slaughtered by Slaanesh, the witty clown god had already fled into the depths of the network and disappeared.

As the only god of the Eldars to survive, Silego hated the evil gods of the subspace, especially the great enemy Slaanesh, who led to the destruction of the Eldars.

The Lord of Pleasure has not only destroyed the Eldar Empire, but has cursed all the surviving Eldarins - as long as the souls of the Addari are not protected after death, then their souls will go to Slaanesh.

Therefore, for the revival of the entire civilization, West Lego buried his head in the black library all day long, carefully planning a plan to defeat Slaanesh.

It is said that he prepared a grand performance for Slaanesh called "The Last Laugh", in which Slaanesh would go out of his way to protect the spirits rather than destroy them. The final ending of the show is not a triumph of chaos, but a presumptuous mockery of Western Lego.

However, no one knows exactly how this goal should be achieved.

Abaddon's thirteenth Black Crusade conquered Cardia, the gateway to the Eye of Fear, causing the Great Rift to begin to spread across the galaxy, making it easier for the Chaos Gods to wreak havoc on the physical universe.

This is a sign of the coming of the end, and the fate of the physical universe is already in jeopardy.

The Elves are finally beginning to realize that even if they have a perfect plan, it may be too late to implement it in terms of time.

They need to find a way to buy time.

But they can't carry out their revival plans at the same time and stop the Chaos invasion at the same time.

Therefore, the Spirit Race needs an ally—an ally that can communicate normally, has no fundamental conflicts of interest, and can effectively suppress Chaos.

Humanity is one such eligible ally.

It's just that due to the loss of the guidance of the emperor and the original body, and after 10,000 years of suffering and suffering, today's human empire has long become erosive and bloated, like a decaying corpse, which is gradually falling apart.

Such an empire would not be able to stop the Chaos invasion.

The armies of Chaos will eat away at their hopes, and the Empire will sit back and wait for death.

But if there is a way to awaken the heroes of humanity's past, to restore faith and unite those who have been wandering in the darkness, then humanity can regain its former glory.

Therefore, the Eldar Reaper Army did everything in their power to help the Ultramarines of the Thirteenth Legion resurrect their genetic father, the Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds of Otlama, the compiler of the Astarte Holy Codex, the genius strategist and statesman, and the most rational of the primordials, Robert Kiliman.

The return of the Primordial has brought hope to the Human Empire, and its extraordinary influence has made it possible to unite humans and spirits.

But even so, there are many discordant voices in both camps.

They don't trust each other, and they both think that the goodwill they unleash is premeditated.

It's hard to build trust, but it's easy to break it.

The enemy only needs to do a little trick on this, and their previous efforts will be undone.

West Lego was full of sadness about this, and thought about ways to make the two tribes cooperate sincerely, but it did not come to fruition.

At this moment, a member of the Harlequin Troupe brought a book, saying that it could be a breakthrough in the friendship between the two races.

That book was one of Usha's early writings, called The Revival of the Empire.
