Very reasonable cultivation

Chapter 185 Causes and Consequences

"Ancient Saint? What is an Ancient Saint?" Tian Zhen said he didn't know, and then began to ask his own questions.

"Aren't you an Ancient Saint? The Ancient Saints are life forms that have existed since the birth of mankind. They created many races in the Milky Way, including humans. As for their images, very few have been passed down. Some information says that they are like some kind of super magical frog people, while others record that they are lizard people with high technology." said the long-haired man.

"Huh? This is how humans in this world were born. By the way, getting back to the topic, how did the Milky Way in this universe become what it was before?" Tian Zhen was a little surprised about the birth of humans in this world, but quickly led the topic to the point that Tian Zhen wanted to know.

"This story begins with a race called the Necrontyr..." the long-haired man began to tell the story.

In summary, the Necrontyr and the Old Ones went to war. To combat this conflict, the Old Ones deployed vast stellar forces, leading to the emergence of chaos between the stars—the Warp. As intelligent life grew, the Warp began to take shape. This wasn't a big deal; initially, the Warp was relatively stable.

Humanity also took advantage of the subspace, technology reached its peak, and the wave of colonization expanded to almost the entire galaxy.

But as time went on, the emotions and thoughts of living beings accumulated more and more in the subspace, which had a profound impact on the real world. At first, it was just a number of psykers that appeared among humans. Later, even intelligent mechanical creations created by humans, due to the accumulation of emotions and thoughts, developed their own consciousness - soul.

A large part of these highly intelligent machines are caused by the influence of human negative emotions. This is why some intelligent machines are very hostile to humans and they directly launched a major rebellion in the end. Although humans quelled the rebellion of intelligent machines with the help of some races, the progress of humans was interrupted and they have been regressing, so that other races began to take advantage of the situation.

Humanity's technological level has seen a large amount of technological loss, to the point where many colonized planets have lost contact with each other, and some have regressed to the Middle Ages or even the Stone Age.

Time will not stop because of humans. As more and more intelligent races appear in this galaxy, emotions accumulate more and more in the subspace. The long-haired man also discovered this terrifying thing.

The long-haired man had no ability to handle this situation alone, even though he could be considered the most powerful psychic on earth and an immortal who had observed humanity for centuries.

Once the emotions within the subspace converge into a closed loop and become the native creatures of the subspace, it will be a raging fire that can burn all life in the entire galaxy, and no life can withstand it.

So, the long-haired man made a bold decision, but it was also his last resort. He cast his divided self, kindness and malice, into the subspace, allowing some of his emotions to become the main emotional body cohesive within the subspace. He was left with only his longing for humanity.

If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't stop the fire, become the fire yourself.

It was very successful, and his psychic abilities skyrocketed because of the connection between them, but he was also affected by the split emotions. He became self-determined and arbitrary, became kind and loved all humans equally, and became hateful and would deal with those "inhuman" things very decisively.

He no longer had any noticeable emotional shifts. The fragmentation of his soul left him unable to control the surging psychic energy within him, which could cause blindness to ordinary people. He was in a hurry, as the hints he had left behind instinctively told him to unify the human empire as soon as possible, letting all humans know of the existence of a Lord of Humanity. He could use this as a coordinate to connect all humans, establish the Astronomican, reconstruct the Webway, and rebuild the cognitive computer within the Warp to quell the chaos within the Warp.

But as time went on, the pace of unification was moving forward, and he discovered a very large cluster of emotions in the subspace, so he separated his similar lust and fell into the great sage mode, unable to empathize with the emotions of other lives.

He himself had become something more like a soul, a five-in-one entity in the subspace, influencing each other, making every extreme emotion have two sides: wisdom, justice, life, emotion, and the supremacy of humanity.

This is also one of the reasons why the first four hate the last one so much, because they instinctively hate things that they don’t have, so they often borrow the image of the long-haired man to distort human cognition. Of course, the main reason is that they no longer want to return to their original form.

In the final moments, the long-haired man didn't know what to do. He instinctively built the Astronomican and instinctively constructed the Webway, but he forgot how to transform the Webway. His thoughts seemed to be elsewhere.

But time made him reflect. The Warp entity he had created, the Primarch, his eldest son had rebelled, bewitched by those four. After paying a terrible price and the death of a close friend, he was forced to sit on the golden chair that had held him for over ten thousand years, beginning his final journey, using his own strength to stabilize the Warp's fundamental stability.

As one of the "incarnations" of the long-haired man, Tzeentch has not done nothing in the past ten thousand years. Although it does not know what it wants to do, it is influenced by its instinct to define different cognitive changes among all living beings, so that it instinctively established the model of the cognitive maze that the long-haired man wanted to build - the cognitive calculator.

Khorne stabilized the release of life emotions so as not to create another strange big guy in the warp.

Nurgle unified the plague types so that there would not be too many variants in the warp, such as fungal or bacterial species like the Green Orks.

Slaanesh does the same, creating a channel for this endless desire.

Among these four incarnations, only the cognitive maze model made by Tzeentch is the most useful, and Tian Zhen also thinks so.

"So, four is the bottom line of life emotions?" Tian Zhen asked.

"Yes, this is the best result we can achieve. Those four can only be regarded as a slow cooker in the warp. The real warp creatures are like a big fire that can burn up an entire galaxy in an instant. They don't know what moderation is." said the long-haired man.

Tian Zhen felt that there were many ways to resolve the chaos in the subspace, but the long-haired man was not him, so whatever he said would be useless.

Indeed, the long-haired man was on the verge of separating his soul. It was conceivable that this was the best choice at the time. He could only contain the emotions of all living beings to prevent them from doing anything weird in the extremely chaotic subspace.

"I have to thank you very much, visitor. It is you who made this stagnant subspace clear. On behalf of all mankind and even all life in the galaxy, I thank you." The long-haired man stood up and bowed to Tian Zhen.

Tian Zhen stood up with a blush and waved his hand, saying, "No, actually, the cognitive maze created by your avatar gave me a lot of inspiration. The new cognitive calculator was also built according to its basic model. You don't have to thank me."

The long-haired man smiled and said, "It's all because of you. I don't have to continue to be trapped in the chaos of consciousness."

Seeing that the long-haired man wanted to bow again, Tian Zhen finally knew what this guy wanted, so he said, "Alright, alright, I get it."

Tian Zhen waved his hand and a copper ingot appeared. Under his control, it continued to take shape. The silicon dioxide material on the ground also floated up and gathered in Tian Zhen's hand. Soon, a triangular pyramid appeared. The regular patterns on its three faces kept changing. Through the bottom lens of the pyramid, you can see the changing crystal of the subspace calculator, like a kaleidoscope.
