Chapter 368: The Tip of the Iceberg Reveals Its True Self
The human race is very young, with only 40,000 years of recorded history, not even a fraction of that of the Eldar.

But within these 40,000 years, relying on their extremely strong reproductive ability, humans have spread throughout the entire galaxy. Perhaps there are still many lost human colonists in extragalactic galaxies.

During this period of time when all races are in sustainable decline, humans have already won too much compared to other races. At least on the surface, they are the undisputed overlord of the galaxy.

Although human lifespan is relatively short in comparison, there are also special humans called immortals among the population. These guys are all true living fossils without exception, and they have even made extraordinary achievements in various historical periods.

For example, the Emperor, a psychic primitive, is a living immortal. A series of mythological stories such as St. George slaying the dragon, the Crusades, and the fall of the Tower of Babel are actually the work of the Emperor and his immortal friends.

Even though the Emperor is essentially a socially anxious guy with negative emotional intelligence, he was quite good at playing things in the mythological period, otherwise there wouldn't be such a dark history as the Roman she-wolf. We can only say that the Emperor is worthy of being the Lord of Mankind, and his XP is really wild.

But as the human population slowly multiplied and technology advanced enough to step out into the starry sea, this group of immortals slowly retreated behind the scenes, enjoying the comfortable life brought by technology while running around looking for fun.

Emperor Randan left Terra during this period. After all, who would want to stand in front of the stage and work overtime like a slave when they can just hide behind and enjoy themselves?

During this era of booming technology, the Emperor constantly changed his identity and basically did every job you can think of, even jobs you can't imagine. After all, the magical psychic power can solve everything. There is nothing he can't do, except what you can't think of.

But the good times will always come to an end. With the emergence of the subspace storm that swept across the galaxy, mankind began to decline. In order to save the people from the water and fire, the man chose to stand up.

Terra had become a ruin during this period, and the wasteland was filled with technological barbarians who were extremely powerful. These lunatics were much stronger than the aliens during the Great Crusade.

Simply put, Catachan had been discovered long before the Dark Age of Technology, and this planet, where one had to be cautious even when faced with the Chaos Demons, was classified as a low-risk world by humans at that time.

For example, Fenris, the hometown of the Space Wolves, is a Nordic theme park built by humans in the dark technological age. You have no way of telling whether the crude guns in the hands of the technological barbarians are high-tech weapons that can smash mountains.

To establish a mountain, one naturally needs subordinates. Although the emperor has a bad reputation among the immortals, there are always some people who have not experienced the dangers of society and are fooled by the yellow-skinned people. Those immortals who have been cheated have no choice but to obey the emperor's orders.

According to Mr. Hogg's teacher, the Terra Unification War was of extremely high intensity, and it was incomparable to the apocalyptic-level wars that would be fought in later generations. You never knew what kind of black technology the enemy would come up with, and even a peerless powerhouse like the Emperor faced near-death several times.

And Olperson, the old man, was actually the first war commander of the Human Empire. He was a descendant of the Plain Yellow Banner who truly followed the Emperor into the pass and ascended to the throne.

As to why he chose to leave the Emperor later, Hogg didn't know either, but judging from the degree of personification of the Emperor when he first met him, it was better not to think too much about it, so as not to add another dark chapter in the Yellow Skin Man's history.

Looking at Orpersong who was looking at him with a stern look on his face, Hogg always felt that this old man seemed to dislike him, but how could he bear this anger:
"Lao Deng! Where are you looking? Don't think I won't hit you just because you are Old Man Huang's friend. If you keep looking at me like that, do you see the big durian in my hand? I promise to make you experience the ultimate insult."

As if to prove what he said was true, Hogg split the durian with his bare hands and swallowed it whole, skin and flesh included, in front of everyone.

The horrible smell comparable to that of an origo made the emperor feel nauseous, and he punched his rebellious son in the stomach. However, Hogg was not hurt at all by the punch, and the piece of durian was sprayed directly on Orperson's face.

After such a great humiliation, Orpesson would not let it go. He first burned off all the filth on his body with his psychic energy, and then retorted: "Damned wanderer from outside the domain, weren't you used as a massager by the evil god for 10,000 years? Why are you so arrogant here? If it weren't for you, a troublemaker, Neos would have ascended to godhood and led the human race to ascend to heaven!"

Hogg was instantly furious when his secret was exposed. He hated it most when others mentioned this matter, especially in front of his brothers. How could he survive in the future?
Hogg didn't want to think about those twists and turns anymore. He just wanted to kill this bastard. As long as he killed him, all the problems would be solved and there would be no need to fight with confusion anymore.

He then summoned dimensional lightning and pounced on the trash who had angered him, wanting to cut off his head with one claw.

But a circle of strange runes burning with dark flames emerged, and the lightning spear was directly offset on the spot. Only the sharp claws containing psionic energy broke through the runes, and finally stopped in front of Orpesson and could not move forward an inch.

Just when Hogg wanted to increase the power of his psionic energy and break this strange rune in one fell swoop to kill him on the spot, the Emperor pulled him back and scolded him:

"Bad boy, can't you see that he wants to die?"

Seeing that his purpose was discovered by his old friend, Orperson no longer pretended, and slumped directly into the chair, saying to the father and son who were testing each other:
"Nyos, even after ten thousand years you are still the same. No wonder these so-called descendants dislike you. It would be so unfortunate for me to have a father like you! Did you not tell them the truth?"

"..."

The emperor's expression told it all. Seeing that Old Man Huang was really hiding something from them, everyone looked at this dishonest father, and Hogg even pinched his neck and asked him to confess quickly.

Even though the Emperor's face was pinched red, he refused to open his mouth, and looked like he would never confess even if he was beaten to death. Finally, Horus realized something was wrong and pulled Hogg away.

"Ahem, damn you, you're so cruel. How can you talk when you're pinching my neck?"

"Shut up and don't try to change the subject." This time, not only Hogg, but all the primarchs came over, as if they were going to punish him on the spot if he didn't tell the truth.

Seeing that even his beloved Wolf God was staring at him, the Emperor knew that he really couldn't escape this time, but he really didn't want to reveal this matter too early:

"My friend, since you have mastered the spell, I believe Erda will be with you!"

"That's right. Not only is that crazy woman Erda here, but many old friends are here too. Why don't you guess who the black flame belongs to?"

The Emperor thought, how could he not know who it was? If anyone knew this power, it would probably be Neos.

After a long silence, the Emperor finally spoke the name:

"Mara, that is, another me."
