Free Web NovelChapter 1699: Chapter 962: The Spirit Race Surrenders
Gu Hang was experiencing for the first time the perspective of another divine entity from Subspace, to understand the relations between the Human Empire, the Alliance, the Emperor, and the Storm God Kingdom.
Of course, this framework only appeared this way through the ’eyes’ of the God of Thousand Faces and does not represent reality.
When observing Subspace, the things seen through different perceptions are naturally different.
Yet, from one angle, it reveals a part of the nature of these relations.
It’s actually quite interesting.
Meanwhile, Gu Hang also roughly understood the God of Thousand Faces’ demands.
"You want me to help you, and you also want the whole Alliance to assist the Spirit Race?"
"We... beseech you..."
The voice speaking transitioned from Mensa’s bone-chilling freeze to a gentle female voice.
That was Windsor’s will.
She guided Gu Hang’s gaze to penetrate the fog covering the stitched structure as the God of Thousand Faces, revealing all her secrets to Gu Hang sincerely.
There, at the center of a vortex composed of the desperate cries of Spirit Race souls and the disintegration pains of deities themselves, a tiny structure emerged.
This was the ’Divine Core’ refined from the very concepts of pain and death amidst endless dying screams of deities. Its fundamental purpose was singular: forcibly welding the processes of "Spirit Race’s acquisition of supernatural powers" and "God of Thousand Faces’ absorption of pain" together.
"This is a curse... and also the last resort..." Windsor’s will helplessly explained the meaning behind this Divine Core, "If not for anchoring the acquisition channels of all Spirit Race extraordinary powers to this Divine Core, the Spirit Race and we might have long perished..."
"This structure, over the years, has acted like a rusty iron lock, temporarily protecting the Spirit Race from being wholly engulfed by Chaos, yet it also nourished the infiltration of Slaanesh like a poisonous petri dish... Now... it is on the verge of collapse..."
Gu Hang remained silent.
At this stage, he naturally understood very clearly what was meant by the God of Thousand Faces’ need for help.
The deity wanted a method that could bypass this precarious Divine Core, providing alternative energy channels for the exceptional individuals of the Spirit Race.
And this method is none other than the vast network of the Human Empire.
If Gu Hang is willing, the dual reinforcement and filtration provided by the golden network over the blue network could fully establish a temporary spiritual haven for the souls of the Spirit Race. When Spirit Race superhumans extract power, their spiritual fluctuations will have two additional layers of ’filters’, reducing the level of influence from Slaanesh’s infiltration, a corruption that humanity can endure. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Though it’s still present, the scale isn’t high and can be ignored. Humanity’s capacity for endurance is far greater, accustomed to the incessant corruption from the four divine entities, they aren’t bothered by this extra trace of corruption from Slaanesh. freёweɓnovel.com
An especially important aspect is, humanity’s souls don’t face the fate of entering the Dark Prince’s domain of desires upon death, unlike the Spirit Race.
Thus, the load on the God of Thousand Faces will be greatly reduced, gaining precious respite and opportunities for self-repair.
Nevertheless, having described the predicament faced by the Spirit Race deity, offered a solution, and confirmed Gu Hang’s capability to assist... the most crucial aspect, however, remained unspoken.
Helping the Spirit Race—could it be without cost? Could it be without benefits?
Gu Hang straightforwardly raised this question.
He pointed out, with composure and clarity, the nature of the transaction and the enormous underlying crisis: "Slaanesh would never allow the Spirit Race, its most coveted prey already viewed as a feast on a platter, to be saved. It would not rest, it will certainly launch furious reprisals..."
Gu Hang spoke of a hugely realistic issue.
The additional corruption is not scary for humanity; however, what impact would Slaanesh’s frenzied counterattack have?
It’s foreseeable that those Chaos factions worshipping Slaanesh will frantically mobilize; Slaanesh will initiate wave after wave of corruptive storms, and the likelihood of Slaanesh Cults sprouting within the Alliance will significantly rise...
The former indicates higher military costs, while the latter implies greater internal governance costs. Behind this is inevitably an ocean of Imperial blood and relentless...
And upon paying all this, what would the Alliance or Gu Hang obtain?
After a brief silence, Windsor summoned a new illusion.
In a corner of the Milky Way, at the edge of a nearly desperate defensive circle of an Imperial Guards regiment trapped in a Green Skins siege, the air suddenly flickered with eerie silver light. The next moment, a band of female warrior banshees wearing spiked helmets, descending as if in a dance of death, appeared out of the ethereal. Their Star Dart Guns precisely harvested the ugly skulls of Green Skins before the astonished eyes of Imperial soldiers!
A powerful Imperial flagship possessed by a Jian Qi Demon had its internal navigation star map altered without warning, and deadly subspace tides were poised to push the ship into a misguided journey. But at this moment, on the bridge, a human navigator looked up bewilderedly, with the sound of ethereal whispers incomprehensible yet calmly guiding him to the correct direction echoing in his ears.
On Comoros, all ports were operating at full capacity. The Spirit Race and humanity worked together, with the technology inherited from the Dark Spirit Race not hastily destroyed due to their defeat, but instead utilized one by one, transporting humanity’s fleet through Veil Spirit Gate from one end of the universe to the other.
