Chapter 810 The Figurine King is Not Home Today
Mandalorian, an Imperial military base.
The Empire's military base on Mandalor is located on the outskirts of Sendari, a dozen kilometers from the city's dome. The shuttle did not enter Sendari but landed at the base.
Fu Qinghai carried his huge all-metal suitcase out of the shuttle's cabin. As usual, two rows of assault team members stood in the hangar, waiting in unison and raising their hands in salute.
Fu Qinghai raised his hand in return, and the new adjutant quickly stepped forward to take the huge box he was carrying. Fu Qinghai waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary and walked straight to the dormitory.
Fu Qinghai had just put his suitcase down when he entered the dormitory.
[About to enter the next cycle of reincarnation]
A cold voice echoed in my mind:
[Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
"Blue Shell, Unpack Mode".
Fu Qinghai immediately gave the order.
The all-metal suitcase in front of him unfolded automatically, its mechanical extensions transforming and transforming, and his power armor quickly rose up.
The power armor conjured a Pym Ray pistol, and after Fu Qinghai returned to his original size, he squeezed sideways into the open armor.
[The current cycle of reincarnation has ended. You are preparing to enter the next cycle world. Please select items within your control or acquired abilities as soon as possible to begin assimilation.]
[Available Options]
The Force
……
The lost consciousness returned.
Fu Qinghai appeared in the vast, white space.
Without hesitation, Fu Qinghai immediately opened the attribute panel, found the [Reincarnation Beacon], and selected to use it. The special item bound to the beacon was the power armor he was wearing.
Fu Qinghai has many things he can use as beacons. He himself is a Space Marine from the Warhammer 40K universe, and the modified organs in his body can all be used as special items.
His entry into this space indicates that the next major plot event is not in the Star Wars canon universe, because he is already anchored in the Star Wars canon universe. Based on past experience, if a new cycle begins, he will start the cycle in the same place.
"Gather all club members."
White light flashed repeatedly in the boundless space.
Every member of the club showed up.
"Good, they're all still alive."
Fu Qinghai inquired of the inner circle members of the battle group:
"Have you found the technology I want?"
"No." "Not at the moment." "Not found."
Several Space Marines shook their heads and said.
Fu Qinghai was slightly disappointed, but it was within expectations. Uploading human consciousness to electronic devices is a common plot device in many science fiction movies, TV series, and animations, and has even become a kind of ubiquitous science fiction element. However, the technology to download data uploaded to electronic devices back into the human brain is somewhat uncommon.
According to the patterns summarized by predecessors, the generation of reincarnation worlds depends on the depth of impression these fantasy works leave on the minds of all mankind, which can be simply understood as the degree of dissemination and the richness of the worldview structure. Some works that are too obscure and lack dissemination, or works with a rudimentary worldview structure, cannot generate reincarnation worlds.
"Alright, keep asking around and keep an eye on it."
Fu Qinghai had no way to force it.
This requires a bit of luck.
"Have you made any progress on your escape plan?"
After the inner circle members disappeared.
Zhang Yuning looked at Fu Qinghai and asked.
"I have some ideas, I'm trying them out."
Fu Qinghai gave her an optimistic answer.
"be careful."
"the same as you."
The two said their goodbyes and disappeared at the same time.
…………
Welcome to the main universe of reincarnation, Warhammer 40K Universe - SSS Rank
[Automatic skill loading: High Gothic proficiency, Low Gothic proficiency]
[Automatically continue your faction selection - Emperor faction storyline]
……
Warhammer 40K Universe.
Solemnas, the Grand Museum.
With a flash of white light, Fu Qinghai appeared out of thin air between the two exhibition stands and plopped down on the floor. He looked up and observed his surroundings, discovering that it was a spacious indoor space. Black stones and lines emitting green light outlined the style of this space, a very futuristic, space-age style.
"Just as I guessed..."
Fu Qinghai couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Based on the experience of rescuing Number 56, even if Fu Qinghai leaves the Warhammer 40K universe, he will still appear in the same location when he returns. In other words, if Tarasin previously locked Fu Qinghai in a static field as an exhibit, when Fu Qinghai returns to the Warhammer 40K universe, he will still appear on Tarasin's exhibit, locked in the static field.
But he doesn't have that now.
He had already guessed the reason.
Fu Qinghai previously used the World Anchor to anchor himself in the Warhammer 40K universe, and his time was synchronized with the time of the Warhammer 40K universe. However, after he re-anchored to the Star Wars canon universe, as long as there are other reincarnators in the Warhammer 40K universe, his time and that of the Warhammer 40K universe will no longer be synchronized, and the two reincarnation worlds will have different time flows.
What kind of result does this lead to?
Fu Qinghai left the Warhammer 40 universe, and his Warband members followed his instructions and also left the Warhammer 40 universe. However, there may be other players anchored in the Warhammer 40 universe. Because of their existence, time in the Warhammer 40 universe is not frozen, and time continues to pass during the inter-cycle gaps.
So, as a native inhabitant of the Warhammer 40 universe, what the Endless Talazin saw was that the Space Marine who had been frozen on the display stand had vanished into thin air without any reason. Furthermore, because the time span between the two major events in the Warhammer 40 universe is very long, Fu Qinghai's disappearance could very well have taken thousands of years.
During the thousands of years that Fu Qinghai disappeared, will Tarachin still keep that empty booth?
Fu Qinghai hasn't yet found a way to escape the stasis field, but he's still willing to return to the Warhammer 40K universe to try, because he's gambling on two things:
1. Besides him and his gang members, there are other fearless players who are also anchored in the Warhammer 40K universe.
2. After it disappears, Taracin may not continue to keep the booth and shut down the stasis field.
Fu Qinghai can gamble, because if he loses, the worst outcome is that he will have to stay in the static field and endure this major plot event. At most, he will waste a major plot event, and there will be no other losses. The risk is controllable.
Now, it turns out he made the right bet.
After Fu Qinghai arrived in the Warhammer 40K universe, he sat down on the museum floor. What does that mean? It means that after he disappeared, not only did Talazin stop maintaining the stasis field, but the Figurine King even dismantled the entire display stand!
And that's how he escaped.
Of course, Fu Qinghai could try other methods, such as assimilating some robots and bringing them to the Warhammer 40K universe, letting the robots destroy the generator of the stasis field to help him escape, or recruiting new members of the organization to descend with him, who might also be able to descend to the museum to help him escape.
However, these methods are not necessarily effective, because based on past experience, without storage space equipment, the reincarnation items he has assimilated will randomly appear around him in various forms. Tarachin's museum is heavily guarded and full of traps, so others may not be able to help him escape.
Fu Qinghai turned to observe his surroundings. He had been here for a minute, and the entire exhibition hall remained quiet. Only the fluorescent green lines on the black walls were faintly emitting a flowing light, illuminating this dim and empty space.
Tarachin doesn't know I'm back yet.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself, grinding his teeth.
Instead of getting up from the floor, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to activate his Force perception.
In the dimly lit exhibition hall, Fu Qinghai's senses spread rapidly like a tide, covering every corner and every crevice of the floor, walls, display stands, and ceiling. He quickly sketched out the internal structure of the building in his mind, and every detail of the three-dimensional image was clearly visible.
Fu Qinghai slowly opened his eyes.
He already knew where the traps and mechanisms were.
Tal Rashin often steals from other people's homes, and putting himself in their shoes, he is also very afraid of others visiting his tomb world, especially a certain chief time mage of the Sothek dynasty. Therefore, Tal Rashin has set up many traps, mechanisms, and alarm devices in his large museum, which can be triggered by carelessness and alert the guardians of the tomb world.
Fu Qinghai stood up and strolled casually through the "visitor corridor" marked by fluorescent green lines, looking around at himself while cleverly avoiding touching any of the security devices in the exhibition hall.
The theme of this exhibition hall should be "War of the Wild Beasts".
Fu Qinghai observed for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion.
On both sides of the visitor passage are display stands, where various Orcs are locked in static fields, their movements and expressions frozen in the image of waving weapons, baring their fangs, and roaring loudly. They are full of dynamic tension, baring their teeth and claws as if they could come to life at any moment, and indeed they are alive.
From the most ordinary orc boy to bizarre and wonderful vehicle builders, Storm Boy, Pain Boy, Neurotic Boy, Technician Boy, Heavy Armor Boss, Killer Canned Food, and Goofy King Kong... the exhibition hall has all kinds of orcs, with the main focus on a comprehensive display. Fu Qinghai even saw a headless beast!
No, where did he steal it from?
Fu Qinghai couldn't help but frown:
Isn't this my spoils of war?
These Orc exhibits were surrounded by fluorescent holographic plaques that explained the cause, course, and background of the war to visitors. Fu Qinghai scanned them one by one. He could understand some of the contents because he had deciphered the hieroglyphic script of the Necromancer, which consisted of circles, semicircles, and lines.
Unfortunately, this "War of the Beasts" exhibition hall is destined to be incomplete because it is missing one of the most important exhibits.
As Fu Qinghai examined the exhibits, he thought to himself:
I am the man who ended the war of beasts!
Fu Qinghai wasn't in a hurry, strolling around leisurely. The major plot event had just begun, and there was still a long way to go before he left. So far, the museum's security system hadn't detected his arrival, giving him ample time to slowly search and see what treasures the King of Figurines had in his museum.
Even if it is detected by the alert system.
Fu Qinghai also has strategies to deal with this.
Where did you hide Lao Tzu's swords and spatial equipment?
Fu Qinghai observed his surroundings while thinking to himself.
The "War of the Beasts" exhibition hall wasn't very interesting. Fu Qinghai himself was a participant and victor in this war, and the things worth acquiring were all displayed in the warehouse of the Phaeton Foundry World. After browsing around and finding nothing, Fu Qinghai decided to go somewhere else.
Fu Qinghai walked through a corridor.
Suddenly, my ears caught a faint "click" sound.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Fu Qinghai's heart skipped a beat. He quietly peeked out from around the corner and, sure enough, a dark green beetle with a metallic sheen was crawling on the wall at the end of the corridor, using its mouthparts to devour something.
The work of the dead, the scarab beetle.
At this point in time, all the tomb worlds are in a so-called "Great Hibernation," with the vast majority of space undead sleeping in the stasis field. However, these underworld constructs will not rest; they are an indispensable force for maintaining the normal operation of the tomb worlds and are also the targets that Fu Qinghai is wary of.
Fu Qinghai spread his five fingers and aimed them at the Netherworld Craftsman Beetle that was still diligently repairing the damaged wall. He then gently pulled his fingers inward and the beetle automatically detached from the wall and flew into his hand.
Then a purple gelatinous substance quickly gushed out from his palm, disappeared into the crevices of the beetle's body, and the beetle's compound eyes, which had been emitting a fluorescent green light, turned purple.
At this point, the core of the tomb world's consciousness should have noticed that one of the scarabs had gone offline. It's just unclear whether this would trigger its invasion threat level assessment...
Fu Qinghai held the scarab beetle and thought silently.
He used his Force perception to carefully sense the changes in the tomb world. After a moment, nothing happened. Fu Qinghai released the scarab beetle from his hand and whispered the command:
"Qinghun, find my sword and briefcase."
The scarab beetle spread its wings and took flight.
Fu Qinghai followed silently behind the scarab beetle.
……
The museum in Tarachin is really big.
Fu Qinghai still doesn't know whether this labyrinthine cluster of buildings is located above ground or underground. He followed the beetle through twists and turns, while carefully using his Force perception and Force warning to avoid the traps and mechanisms along the way.
He slowly stepped into an empty space. There were no exhibition stands, only some miscellaneous items piled up, which Fu Qinghai guessed were miscellaneous items. There were also five Netherworld Ghosts in a dormant state, their serpentine metal bodies coiled together.
Among the pile of miscellaneous items in the corner, Fu Qinghai saw the Azure Fang and Azure Blade, as well as a white briefcase.
This is, after all, a genuine adamantium weapon...
Fu Qinghai's lips twitched involuntarily.
To some extent, he could understand Tarasin. These two weapons were certainly special, but the Space Marines who were compatible with them were nowhere to be found. Tarasin couldn't possibly have a separate display just to show off two swords, so they could only be categorized as miscellaneous items.
But he still felt a little insulted.
These are the sword and saber of Khan Qingshan!
Fu Qinghai didn't go inside. Instead, he stretched out a hand towards the pile of junk in the corner and used his Force to make his three items float silently towards him. The five ghostly spirits of the underworld were still dormant and had not been awakened.
Fu Qinghai retreated into the corridor, first hanging his sword and dagger on the magnetic clasp of his belt. Now that he possessed the Light Dragon Sword, the Blue Fang and Blue Blade could temporarily take a backseat. As for what to do with the old weapons after getting the new ones?
Of course, it's placed in... the spatial equipment.
Fu Qinghai couldn't wait to open his only spatial equipment and stick his head into the floating blue light membrane inside the white suitcase to check everything.
Most of the items were not lost.
However, the map for the Infernal Affairs website is gone.
Fu Qinghai frowned slightly.
Taracin must have searched through his spatial storage equipment. He didn't take anything else, but he specifically took the map of the Infernal Network, which means he knows what it is.
This makes sense. It's normal for Talazin not to recognize things from other reincarnation worlds, but the Infinite Web Map is an artifact from the Warhammer 40K universe.
Fu Qinghai's suitcase didn't actually contain many important items; it was mostly filled with odds and ends, such as water, food, and oxygen generators, in preparation for certain reincarnation worlds with special environments.
For example, Cybertron in the Transformers universe has extremely low oxygen levels and is toxic. There is no organic matter on the surface of the entire planet, and most reincarnators cannot survive more than three days before being killed by the environment, thus not participating in the plot at all.
In some ways, the environment of the Tomb World is quite similar to Cybertron. Fu Qinghai didn't see any organic matter in Tarachin's museum either, which may have been converted into energy by the Netherworld Scarabs. After the entire Fearless race mechanically ascended to become space undead, they no longer needed to breathe or eat.
Fu Qinghai took out his water and started making amino cereal porridge. This instant food containing ceramic particles is a special food for Space Marines. After drinking a full bag of amino cereal porridge, Fu Qinghai ate five Imperial Guard standard combat rations. He wanted to fill his stomach and store up energy during this time.
The white suitcase is inspired by the space-folding technology in the movie *Ultraviolet*. The folded space can hold living organisms, simply by pumping oxygen into it. It can also store food for extended periods, by removing the oxygen. Centuries later, the food tastes a bit strange, but it's still barely edible.
After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.
Fu Qinghai continues to explore museums.
Last time, Fu Qinghai escaped from the Tomb World with the help of the Tombstone Gate and the Star God Fragment. But this time, Fu Qinghai is not in a hurry to find a way to leave. Anyway, he is not anchored in the Warhammer 40K universe. He will leave when the major plot event ends. He has finally entered the King of Figurines' museum. It would not be in line with his character if he did not do something nice.
After the symbiote possessed the Netherworld Scarab, it became easier for Fu Qinghai to avoid the traps and restrictions in the museum. For example, right now, Fu Qinghai was hanging from the ceiling of the passage like a spider. The floor and walls of this passage had sensors that would trigger an invasion alarm of the tomb world if someone stepped into it. So Fu Qinghai used the Force suction cups to crawl through the ceiling.
As the maintainer of the great museum, the scarab's mechanical circuits store the entire museum's structural layout. With Qinghun as its "guide," Fu Qinghai's exploration became more purposeful, instead of wandering around like a headless fly.
……
"These are the legendary... ancient orcs?"
Fu Qinghai looked up at the exhibit in front of him.
The ancient orcs, also known as "Krok," are twelve meters tall and have a physique comparable to wild beasts. Their entire bodies are covered in crude yet technologically advanced power armor. Compared to the robust physique of ordinary orcs, they appear taller and more slender. It is said that these were the earliest biological weapons created by the Ancient Ones to fight against the space undead and the Star Gods. The current Orcs are their degenerate descendants.
The ancient beastman was not the exhibit Fu Qinghai was looking for, but he still took out a remote-controlled thermal bomb from his briefcase and gently placed it next to the ancient beastman's static force field generator.
……
"Imperial Guards..."
Fu Qinghai examined the three exhibits in front of him.
Three tall Imperial Guardsmen, clad in golden armor, stood in front of him in a triangular formation. One held a slug gun, one a molten spear, and the other a sword and shield.
Fu Qinghai took out another remote-controlled hot melt bomb and gently placed it next to the static force field generator on the exhibition stand.
……
"The Katachon Demon..."
Fu Qinghai stared at the creature in front of him and muttered to himself.
The Katachon demon is a scorpion-like arachnid with a body over thirty meters long coiled up. It has a venomous stinger on its barbed tail and a large mouth covered with highly venomous tentacles.
Among the many terrifying and vicious creatures of Katachan, Fu Qinghai had seen this creature in Master Kunto's records; it was not only powerful in combat but also had an astonishing reproductive capacity. After carefully observing its physical characteristics, Fu Qinghai discovered that this Katachan demon was actually a female carrying eggs.
Fu Qinghai took out the thermoelectric bomb and installed it directly.
……
"Wow, there's even a Kane avatar..."
Fu Qinghai looked up at the enormous suit of armor in front of him.
This is a giant in armor, about six meters tall, strong and robust, with full-body blood-red armor, an exaggerated and huge crown, thick and fluffy mane, a ferocious and angry-looking mask, and holding a broad, openwork longsword with gold and red runes.
Bloodhand Cairne, the Eldar god of war and conflict, was shattered into fragments after the birth of the Slaanesh. An avatar of Cairne can be created by sacrificing an Eldar bishop and a fragment of Cairne. Theoretically, he is extremely powerful, but he often ends up as a backdrop and stepping stone for various heroes to show off.
After thinking for a moment, Fu Qinghai took out a remote-controlled thermobaric bomb and gently placed it next to the booth where Kane was embodied.
……
"The enslaved... unfortunately, they are just calcified specimens."
Fu Qinghai looked at the exhibits with amazement.
However, this is quite normal. The enslaved beings are subspace creatures, which theoretically have no physical form in the real universe. Subspace creatures naturally cannot be locked by a stasis field, and such calcified specimens after death are only a special case.
Fu Qinghai shook his head and left the exhibition hall.
……
Fu Qinghai's briefcase contained only five thermobaric bombs, which could be switched between remote control and timed modes. He had only brought them along as a precaution, so he couldn't put thermobaric bombs on every exhibit. He had to select collectibles that were capable of causing damage to the tomb world.
However, even after all the remote-controlled thermal bombs were installed, Fu Qinghai was still not discovered to exist in the tomb world.
Fu Qinghai even doubted whether his arrangement of installing the remote-controlled thermal bomb was somewhat redundant. He had already toured many exhibition halls with the scarab beetle, and apart from the various underworld structures being maintained, he hadn't encountered a single space undead. Fu Qinghai had already formed a reasonable deduction in his mind:
Tarahin may not be home today.
When will he come back?
Fu Qinghai squatted on the ground and began to think.
Well, that's hard to say.
Fu Qinghai recalled that in Tarasin and Orikan's novel, the two had a falling out in the court of the Revival Council over the Starry Sky Box. During the trial, they argued and accused each other for a whole year, which was quite outrageous.
For the space undead who have undergone mechanical ascension, lifespan becomes infinite, and time has lost its meaning. These noble space undead, when pursuing something that interests them, don't care how much time it takes. It's quite normal for Eurycan to take sixty years to initiate a divination calculation, or for Talassin to organize an archaeological expedition that takes over a century.
If Talrazin doesn't return to Solemnas during the major events of the entire storyline, what should I take?
Fu Qinghai stroked his chin and began to ponder.
What he really wanted to find in the museum was a person, or more precisely, a genetic prototype.
Tarachin possesses a genetic prototype.
A clone of Phoenix Lord Forgrim.
This clone was created by Fabius Bayer. It possessed complete memories of the Great Crusade and the Great Rebellion, was not corrupted by Chaos, and even expressed remorse for its rebellious actions. It disobeyed Fabius Bayer's orders. Therefore, the old Chinese medicine doctor gave it to the figurine king in exchange for a batch of Emperor's Son gene seeds from the Great Crusade that were not corrupted by Chaos, and used these gene seeds to enhance his strength.
However, after carefully recalling the novels he had read in his previous life, Fu Qinghai realized that the plot had likely changed.
According to Fabius Bayer's personal trilogy, around 764.M34, the old Chinese medicine doctor was unfortunately captured by Edoron, the former commander of the Third Legion. He learned that a batch of gene seeds lost by the Third Legion thousands of years ago had appeared in the eastern part of the galaxy, and Edoron ordered the old Chinese medicine doctor to retrieve these gene seeds.
Fabius arrived at the coordinates given by Edoron, which turned out to be Talazin's Solemnas. The Chaos Space Marines were surrounded by the Necromancer army. The old doctor was originally going to become a collectible for the figurine king, but he persuaded Talazin to exchange his freedom for the Eldar who were hunting him. Talazin agreed to the deal.
Meanwhile, realizing that the clone Vograim might be beyond his control, Fabius proposed another deal: to exchange the clone for the Emperor's Sons' genetic seeds. Talazin readily agreed, and the old man used these pure genetic seeds, untouched by Chaos corruption, to create over 18,000 Chaos Space Marines.
The initial cause of all this was the news that Aidoron had obtained the gene seed. However, in the current timeline, "Soul Splitter" Aidoron was already dead. Fu Qinghai personally killed him in his debut battle, carrying the heads of three traitorous legion commanders to see Chagatai Khan, one of whose heads belonged to Aidoron.
In other words, because Fu Qinghai altered the plot, this series of events likely never happened. Aidoron was intercepted by Fu Qinghai before even entering the Eye of Fear. Therefore, there was no transaction between the old Chinese medicine doctor and the figurine king. From this, we can deduce that—
These genetically modified seeds are currently still in Solemnas!
"More than 18,000 sons of emperors..."
Fu Qinghai pondered the number to himself.
The success rate of Space Marine modification surgery is generally between 30% and 50%. Fabius Bayer, nicknamed "the progenitor of genes," was the most advanced biological and genetic scientist in the Warhammer 40K universe. Let's assume his success rate was 80%. Conservatively, the number of these gene seeds was about 22,000.
"Hiss, is this what the Great Expedition period is like?"
Fu Qinghai couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
During that period, the scale of human empire's military buildup was truly insane. Now, these Chaos Warbands in the Eye of Terror are fighting tooth and nail for a few pure gene seeds that haven't been corrupted or contaminated. Thinking back to thousands of years ago, the human empire would casually replenish its troops with more than 20,000 gene seeds at a time.
"Qinghun, retrieve the museum's layout map."
Fu Qinghai looked at the scarab beetle beside him and said.
Whether his speculation is correct is easy to verify. More than 22,000 gene seeds are no small number. Similarly, a cloned gene prototype is a rare and valuable collection. If Tarasin had this collection, he would have shown it off generously and let Qinghun check if there was such a display stand, which would then verify whether the gene seeds exist.
"This exhibit is not in the museum, owner."
Qinghun used its mouthparts to carve characters on the floor tiles.
"So, where are those genetically modified seeds?"
Fu Qinghai then pressed on with further questions.
"I suspect it might be in this place."
After the beetle finished carving the words, it flapped its wings and flew away.
Fu Qinghai immediately stood up and followed.
