Chapter 2 The Emperor Descends
"Detecting... Detected characteristics of a low-level demon under the command of the Chaos Abyss Evil God. Can be sold to the All-Domain Hub System Shop. Evaluation complete. Unit value: 100 Hub Points."
Li Wei raised an eyebrow, surprised that the demon before him was so worthless.
He bought the "Shadow Spear" for five times the original price, losing a fortune.
Immediately, Li Wei silently recited the command and summoned the system. A parchment-like light screen suddenly unfolded before his eyes.
It has five main functional sections: Wizard Forum, System Shop, Friends List, Wizard News, and Official Announcements.
Li Wei looked at the system page, which was very similar to the social media app from his previous life, and was already used to it.
The Wizarding World has long since conquered technological civilizations similar to Earth in its previous existence, so creating this style of webpage would be a piece of cake.
He immediately opened his friends list and found the profile picture of the girl with the youthful blonde hair among the dozen or so lonely friends.
I clicked on it and then sent a message.
[Li Wei: Honorable Wizard Elizabeth, I am your father's apprentice, now an infiltrator in the wizarding world. I possess a low-ranking demon that has not yet been registered in the wizarding world. I have heard that you are conducting research on demon ecology, and I hope this demon can be of assistance.]
Li Wei waited for a while but did not receive any message.
However, he was not discouraged. After waiting a few more minutes and still not receiving a reply, he simply sent the image of the demon in front of him as a red envelope.
The next moment.
Ding!
Li Wei received 1,000 hub points from Elizabeth, but still did not receive a reply.
He didn't pay much attention, and was satisfied with having the points, so he immediately replied:
[Li Wei: Thank you for your generosity, Wizard Elizabeth. I will send you suitable demon research samples as soon as possible.]
After a few more seconds, Li Wei knew that the other party was unlikely to reply, so he closed the system.
This wasn't Li Wei making a fool of himself; rather, this blonde little girl was no ordinary person.
She is the daughter of his mentor in the wizarding world, and also a true wizard.
Although he was only a first-tier wizard, he was still far superior to a wizarding apprentice like Li Wei.
No, because Li Wei chose to transmigrate, even the wizard apprentice's innate runes disappeared.
He's just an ordinary person now, at most a psionicist.
Li Wei watched the demonic afterimage gradually disappear on the wall, then stopped thinking about it and quickly cleaned up the battlefield; he needed to destroy the evidence.
We cannot allow the fact that this body once used blood sacrifice to obtain power to be exposed.
The original owner was actually a psionic genius with extremely high psionic talent, but was stuck at the philosopher level of the Magnus psionic system.
In order to break through, he used a blood sacrifice array diagram found in the Prospero Grand Library.
He was thus seduced by the warp, which led to his death. Along the way, he also killed a farmer who had wandered into the area, a suburb of Tizka.
As for the corpse, Li Wei discovered during the cleaning of the cave that it had been completely devoured by the demon lynx, leaving not even a trace.
After thoroughly cleaning the cave and confirming that no trace of his own psychic energy remained, Li Wei walked to the cave entrance with satisfaction.
He raised his hand and conjured a fireball of spiritual energy, which he slammed into the rock wall. The falling rocks successfully blocked the cave entrance.
Only then did Li Wei feel relieved.
This should remove the evidence that he is a fallen psyker.
He had to go to such lengths, otherwise he might be targeted by Magnus's servant, Amon.
Amon commands the Blind Order, a secret organization that combines intelligence gathering and psychic trials.
One of the core tasks is to capture corrupted psionicists.
After being captured, they are usually subjected to interrogation, and depending on the crime, they are either exiled or sentenced to death.
He stepped out of the dense woods at the cave entrance, his eyes just adjusting to the blinding midday sun, before he could even take in his surroundings.
His gaze was immediately drawn to a flying machine standing silently in mid-air on the distant horizon, its shape as ferocious as a raptor.
"That looks like an Imperial Stormhawk!"
Li Wei stared quietly at the double-headed eagle imperial insignia on the Stormhawk aircraft, his gaze gradually drifting into the distance.
The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw a golden warship, so large it blotted out the sky, hovering above the clouds in the deep blue sky.
Below the warship, countless flying machines, each the size of a flying ant, shot out like meteors and plummeted straight toward the ground.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Li Wei suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
He then recalled the timeline of the Warhammer universe.
At this time, Magnus had not yet returned to the empire; he was merely the ruler of the planet Prospero beneath his feet.
Now that the Imperial fleet has arrived, it means that Magnus is about to return to the Empire, and the fate of the Thousand Sons will take a turn.
But the thought of having to spend his days under Magnus's command for the time being gave Li Wei a real headache.
Magnus, though one of the most powerful psykers in the Warhammer universe, is also a complete megalomaniac and arrogance.
He is the son of the Emperor and the genetic prototype of the Thousand Sons of the Fifteenth Legion.
He should have sworn to serve the empire and the emperor to the death.
However, due to his arrogance and recklessness, a psionic communication caused the Terra Network to shatter, forcing the Emperor to remain forever on the Golden Throne, and plunging the Empire into eternal suffering.
Following a leader like that, I'll be doomed sooner or later.
After a brief moment of respite, Li Wei was soon stunned by the boundless wilderness before him.
It is adorned with clusters of crystal flowers and clear lakes, creating a stunningly beautiful scene.
This is the wilderness of Prospero, a famous tourist destination, exceptionally beautiful, with an ethereal and otherworldly aesthetic.
Following the winding path, Li Wei spent a full two hours arriving at Tizica, the capital of Prospero.
It was a city themed around white marble and crystal glass, with magnificent pyramids and silver towers gleaming under the sky.
The place, usually quiet and elegant, is now packed with people and bustling with activity.
As Li Wei approached a city entrance, he heard the commotion of the crowd around him.
"Let's go to Mithril Square and see the arrival of Archmage Magnus's father!"
"I've heard that he's the ruler of humanity!"
"Wow, no wonder he's Magnus's father, he's amazing!"
……
Livi was jostled by the warm and hospitable residents of Tizika and drifted along the marble main road.
The crowd grew increasingly excited, chanting "Lord of Mankind" in unison, the chant echoing through the bustling crowd.
Amidst the surging crowd, Li Wei glanced at the white marble bungalow with a courtyard on the street not far away.
He knew this was the house of this body.
Li Wei paused for a moment, then abandoned his plan to return to his residence.
He wanted to see for himself the demeanor of the Lord of Mankind.
Li Wei followed the crowd to Mithril Square, the final destination of the flow of people. He stood on tiptoe at the edge of the square, his gaze sweeping over the throng of people.
A large circular area had long been cleared out in the center of the square, with Imperial Guards clad in golden power armor standing at the edge.
They were exceptionally tall, wielding long halberds engraved with runes, and stood as silent as sculptures.
Their imposing presence caused the nearby crowd to unconsciously lower their voices and dare not get too close.
A deep rumble suddenly sounded, and Li Wei unconsciously turned his gaze to the warship in the sky.
His psychic intuition told him that a power capable of easily changing the world was about to descend.
next second.
A golden light suddenly fell from the sky, like a rainbow, straight down to the center of the square.
The light grew stronger and stronger, so intense that Li Wei instinctively closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the light had dissipated and a golden figure suddenly appeared in the center of the square.
The emperor was dressed in magnificent and majestic golden armor, his brown hair moved without wind, and he wore a golden laurel crown, exuding a sacred aura throughout the entire scene.
The eyes of the crowd shone with fervent light as they raised their arms and shouted, "Lord of mankind!"
The image of imperial majesty struck Li Wei as somewhat strange.
The emperor of this period was clearly trying his best to promote imperial truth and resist religion, but it would be strange if the people of the empire did not regard him as a god.
A few seconds passed.
Not far from the Emperor, a burst of golden and red psionic energy exploded, tearing apart the veil between reality and the warp.
The crimson giant Magnus, clad in a scholar's robe of gold and red, and carrying a staff inlaid with a crimson gem, stepped out from the rift crackling with purplish-black chaotic lightning.
The moment the Emperor and Magnus's eyes met, they smiled at each other, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and opened their arms to embrace each other.
Li Wei watched this scene, his expression trembling slightly.
He saw a father and a son, and that pure kinship was released without reservation at that moment.
