Chapter 278 The Days When Hogg Was Away (3k Chapters)
012.M31,

With the end of the Heresy, the Space Marines, who had originally been the main force of the expedition, no longer had their previous large scale, and each legion had lost a large number of troops.

And in this year, due to the extinguishing of the Astronomican, countless human worlds fell into chaos, most of the empire was invaded by chaos and aliens, and fell into a situation of fighting each other.

In order to restore the glory of the Imperium, Robert Guilliman, who had returned to Terra from Alicia, was ordered to lead the Ultramarines and the Devourers Legions together with the three Primarchs to launch a counterattack on the Solar System.

With the assistance of the Imperial Fists who had been stationed in the Solar Star Region, on the last day of the year, they wiped out the rebellion in the Solar Star Region and stabilized the human rear.

Flame of Hope: Primarch Robouti Guilliman, following the will of the Lord of Mankind, and Rogal Dorn stationed on Holy Terra, rekindled the Astronomican at the cost of 1000 psykers.

At the same time as the Astronomican was rekindled, with the help of the Imperial Guard and the Mechanicus of Mars, the life-support device called "Emperor Dreadnought" was placed back on the Golden Throne.

At the moment when the Emperor once again sat on the Golden Throne, a golden sun rose from Terra, and most humans, bathed in its light again, felt the warmth in their hearts.

As a result, the faith that had been extinct was rekindled, and the theory of the Emperor's God came into being.

Only a few Soulless Ones and the Space Marine Legion known as the Black Watch have no feelings.

At the same time, the Emperor of Mankind fell into a deep sleep, and rumors of sword-wielding giants spread across the galaxy. The ruins disappeared, and the Imperial Palace of Terra was no longer open to the public.

(However, according to the Adeptus Custodes codenamed Kitty, the Emperor's Dreadnought, which had just been placed on the Golden Throne, was originally a dull blue-gray color. It was later painted by the Primarch Guilliman himself, and then turned into the familiar golden color of later generations.)
015.M31,

Legion: With the re-lighting of the Astronomican, the Legion, which had been fighting alone to guard the Star Gate, completely repelled the attack of the Chaos Army.

At one time, many Primarchs led their respective legion fleets, sailing through the star gates and converging on Holy Terra.

The 14 holy sons of the Emperor gathered together for a month-long discussion meeting.

During the meeting, the entire content was broadcast live via Kara's network, and was narrated by the original body Miss Alpha.

As the meeting progressed, a new generation of leadership was initially established, with Guilliman as regent and Malcador as sigillite.

On the same day, following a wide-area announcement from Terra, the Stargate was officially put into use, and Imperial merchant ships, which originally had to undertake dangerous subspace voyages, experienced for the first time a convenient and safe way of travel.

The six giant star gates covering most of the empire's territory have since become transportation hubs for mankind, and a mixed corps called the Star Gate Defense Force began to be stationed there.

But when the meeting was coming to an end and the list of missing Primarchs was being discussed, Lord Mortarion of Barbarus and Lord Perturabo of Iron fought with Guilliman on the spot and accused him of his evil ambitions and being the culprit for the disappearance of Primarch Hogg.

On the second day, the new Imperial Regent, Robert Guilliman, issued an edict of repentance and designated the day of the Primarch Hogg's disappearance as the Black Light Ascension Day.

015.M31,

The long-lost Black Watch returned, and a tall plant called the Catachan Giant Tree was transplanted to Alicia.

Laila Lynn has since served as the leader of Blackwatch.

Ross, the former captain of the First Company of Black Watch, traveled to Holy Terra on the Blacklight with the remnants of the Dark Angels, Word Bearers, and Blood Angels.

017.M31,

The reconstruction of the Alicia sector has begun, and the Space Wolves have begun to transport Alicia refugees from the Fenris sector in batches.

The fourteen Primarchs each sent out their own construction teams, and the Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fists bid for the project, and ultimately the Iron Warriors won the construction project.

But according to Rogdorn, there were a lot of shady dealings in this bidding, and he set up the Imperial Fists official website on the Kara network, criticizing the Iron Warriors for substandard construction quality and a series of other engineering shady dealings.

023.M31,

The Second Crusade Begins: After years of recuperation, the Primarchs who had once expeditioned the galaxy unanimously agreed that the current priority was to recover lost territory.

Relying on the connected stargate channel, the Ultramarines and Death Guard, the most complete surviving legions, led by their Primarch, expeditioned to the Storm Star Region in the south.

Angron, Lord of the Extermination Order, and Rogal Dorn led their respective legions to expedition to the Pacific Star Region to wipe out the resurgent alien forces.

Vulkan and Perturabo led the Salamanders and Iron Warriors to garrison Holy Terra to stabilize the rear.

Emilia, the former Blackwatch chief of internal affairs, and Lady Euton are temporarily in charge of the imperial government.

057.M31,

The Two Gods of the Empire: As the theory of the Emperor's spirit became popular, the dual-god state religion based on belief in the Lord of Mankind and the Lord of Black Light was formally established, with Lorgar as the Pope of the Black Light sect and Archangel Sanguinius as the Pope of the Holy Emperor sect.

At the same time, the Black Light Sect officially established the Dog People as the Empire's sub-humans, and designated them as pets to be kept by the sect. Anyone who abuses a Dog People will be wanted and hunted down by the Black Watch.

Pope Sanguinius also announced that the Rick clan was given the title of "Emperor Spirit" by the Lord of Mankind, and was the common asset of the Two Gods Religion, and no human being was allowed to abuse them.

058.M31,

The following year, the two popes summarized the "Imperial Domination Sutra" and "Black Light Sacred Records" written by Lorgar. After 49 days, under the continuous quarrel between the two primarchs, a "Dual God Domination Record" became the only designated religious publication in the empire.

The Empire thus entered the religious age, countless tall churches began to rise, the Primarchs were called demigods, and the Space Marines became angels of God.

059.M31,

Battle Sisters' Society: During the period when the two queens were in charge of the empire's government affairs, the entire empire began to accumulate wealth rapidly, the people began to become gradually prosperous, and a large number of women devoted themselves to the state religion.

In order to strengthen the military strength of the Sisters of Battle, after obtaining the consent of all demigods, the Black Watch began to provide the Ecclesiarchy with the technology to manufacture female Space Marines.

These big girls who had undergone genetic enhancement surgery were all affiliated with the Sisters' Combat Order. As the lost territories were gradually recovered, they began to follow the legion in unified missionary work.

For a moment, countless black-background golden eagle flags, symbolizing the Dual Gods Religion, were planted in every corner of the planet along with these combat nuns.

112.M31,

Legion Merger: During the Heresy, the Iron Hands, of which only one in ten survived, merged with the Emperor's Children, a small number of them.

Under the leadership of Ferrus, the Father of Genes, and Fulgrim, the Mother of Genes, a new legion called the Iron Phoenix was established.

119.M31,

Glorious Era:

The four legions that had gone out to recover lost territory returned in triumph. The Storm Star Region and the Pacific Star Region returned to the embrace of the Empire. The demigods who had been separated for nearly a hundred years reunited again on Holy Terra. This day was also called the Day of Nirvana.

On this day of universal celebration, Mortarion, Perturabo, and Guilliman reconciled, and after the banquet, they led all the Primarchs to Alicia for a vacation.

The second meeting was held in the same year.

This meeting was attended not only by all the existing Primarchs, but also by the Commander of the Imperial Guards, Valdo, and representatives of countless Imperial forces.

The atmosphere of this meeting was not friendly and was full of tension throughout.

As the regent, Guilliman strongly requested to temporarily suspend the expedition and focus on developing people's livelihood. This proposal was recognized by all the Primarchs, who did not want history to repeat itself.

However, a group of mortal representatives, having tasted the sweetness of the expedition, were unwilling to see their promotion space cut off and wanted to continue speeding up the pace of the expedition.

There were even some nobles who were so arrogant that they accused the demigods of forgetting the great wish of the Lord of Mankind, and they wondered if they were planning another major rebellion.

These words made the hot-tempered Perturabo take out his warhammer. Finally, after being persuaded by his brothers, he gave up the idea of ​​crushing these insects.

Zhuang Sen, who had remained silent, exchanged glances with Leman Russ and left the meeting place early.

As the second meeting ended unhappily, Guilliman, who did not want to lose the big picture for the small, chose to use his most familiar method to deal with both parties and directly changed some of the applications:
1. The Inquisition and the Assassins' Court were formally established, but these two departments were led by Malcador and Alpha.

2. Reorganize the Mortal Auxiliary Army, divide the army, which originally had overlapping powers, into two departments: the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy, and disperse the power of the nobles.

3. Establish a High Lords Council, but outside of the five seats, you will serve as the chief commander in charge of the overall situation.

4. The Mechanicus will always retain its seat, but cannot interfere with the appointment and dismissal power of the State Religion.

Guilliman, feeling good about himself, quickly issued the decree, but this directly aroused the resentment of some Primarchs.

After going to the palace, the cat and dog duo left without saying goodbye and returned to their hometowns. However, Frostmourne, which housed Horus' soul, also disappeared with them.

Angron, Lord of the Extinction Order, had blown up his home planet with his own hands, leaving him with nowhere to go, so he had to follow his good-for-nothing brother Mortarion back to Barbarus.

But before leaving, he found Guilliman, left a sentence "You will definitely regret it", and left in a hurry.

Only the Khan looked at Guilliman with a half-smile, and pulled the still angry Mr. Kratos back to the Taiping star field.

He did not expect that his decrees would arouse such disgust among his brothers, but Guilliman also lost his temper this time and directly led the rest of his brothers back to Holy Terra, vowing to make the empire great again.

However, when all the forces left Alicia, the six Primarchs who had previously clamored to work alone secretly gathered on Catachan.

Under Lynn's leadership, they came to the Hive Research Institute that had survived before and walked into the secret room that could block any prying eyes.

Seeing the six demigods coming from afar, the last four Moon Wolves hurried forward and took over Frostmourne from the Lion King.

Shafulin, who had disappeared for a long time, walked out from the shadows with a weak face, handed each person a piece of high-purity psionic crystal, and said seriously:

"For those of us who have passed away, let's go!"

　I have almost posted 1000 words today. I have to sort out the outline and lay some foreshadowing for the following plot, so that this transitional plot will be as unobtrusive as possible. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to just write a diary.
