Chapter 647, Ten Years of Wandering

Su Lie could actually sense Gu Hang's 'realness'.

As soon as he appeared, he didn't seem like an illusion. Although he had a strong psychic reaction, he was completely different from a demon, nor did he seem like a demon in disguise.

Before this, whether it was the illusions that 'He' had created, or the demons that followed 'He's' orders and came to him in various disguises, they were all different from the current state of Gu Hang.

Moreover, the psychic power that Gu Hang used was violent and fierce, but it didn't have the irritating, disgusting, and inexplicably desirable evil feeling of the subspace demon. On the contrary, it had a bit of the meaning of cleansing evil demons.

These all seemed like a serious psychic, consistent with the rumored Gu Hang.

But even though he noticed all this, he still didn't dare to believe it.

Rather than believing that Gu Hang, who was outside countless galaxies and had little to do with him, would appear here to save him, it would be better to believe that this was a new trick that the enemy had come up with. All of his real feelings were a further step forward in the other party's deception technology.

However, when he tried it himself, his thoughts changed a little.

Gu Hang showed a very strong power.

Although the fight with Gu Hang just now was short, it was very intense. Su Lie thought that he had used all his strength, but still failed to do anything to Gu Hang. Gu Hang looked a little embarrassed, but Su Lie could also feel that Gu Hang was a little careless at the beginning.

If both sides were serious... Su Lie felt that he had a chance of winning, but not too big.

From this point of view, it still proved that the person in front of him was indeed Gu Hang, who was rumored to be very powerful in psychic power.

Although it is still possible that this is a powerful demon who disguised himself like this. But thinking about it carefully, it seems unlikely.

It is difficult to continue to disguise in a high-intensity battle. Just like Gu Hang, he was trying to use force field psychic power to control him at the beginning, but when he realized that he underestimated the enemy, he had to show his real skills, that is, those violent thunders, when the intensity came up.

This is a truth.

Even if it was a big demon, Su Lie didn't believe that it could continue to maintain its disguise and not show some real skills under his coercion.

From various angles, objective facts were used to make Su Lie believe.

But the experience of being lured and deceived for ten years made him never believe blindly.

If you believe wrongly, you will never recover in this subspace.

However, they are indeed at the point of near-death.

After ten years of sailing in the subspace, the engine that has not been turned on for a long time has some problems, and the Geller force field is gradually losing its power.

These are actually normal situations, but what is more troublesome is that it has been ten thousand years since the era of direct use of the subspace for space navigation. It is true that the maintenance technology of these equipment is retained on the ship, but the operators have been replaced by hundreds of generations. Among the living maintenance personnel now, no one has actually operated and maintained these ancient devices.

All things are flipping through those ancient technical documents and learning and using them now.

Of course, you have to pay tuition to learn.

Although the maintenance personnel and the Mechanicus monks are becoming more and more skilled, some costs are inevitable in the process of becoming skilled. Under the current circumstances, these losses are even irreparable, and they cannot find a place in the warp to carry out thorough repairs.

The problem is not only in the ship equipment, but also in navigation.

The Astronomican on Holy Terra is still burning and can be observed in the warp. However, using the Astronomican to navigate in the warp also requires very strict technical requirements, and after ten thousand years, this type of work has disappeared.

The think tank of the chapter, as well as the astropaths and psykers on the ship, were all pulled out to perform this work.

It is equivalent to forcing ducks to climb the shelves, but there is no other way.

In the past ten years, they have worked very hard to find a way for the chapter to return to the real universe, but they have failed almost every time. Often, that road not only fails to bring the Phoenix Crown Feather back to the real universe, but makes them sink deeper and deeper in the warp.

Although there is no evidence, Su Lie still suspects that the reason for this is that in addition to the navigator's poor skills, there are also some malicious beings who deliberately misled their psychics.

But even so, what can be done?

Every time the think tank and psychics say that they have found a suspected path, Su Lie will have more doubts and more reviews. In the end, as long as he is sure that the psychic who proposed this plan has not been seduced or corrupted, he will most likely follow the route proposed by him.

But who can guarantee that the review will definitely find corruption? Even if it is not corrupted, who can say whether the psychic has been deceived? Even if there is no corruption or fraud, who can be sure whether the navigator has made a mistake?

Multiple risks are filtered down, it is really fatal.

Although Su Lie still maintains a tenacious belief and still firmly lets the more than 100 Phoenix warriors who are still alive maintain the same firm belief, the mortals on the ship cannot be useful simply by encouragement. Amid the occasional whispers and the terrifying supernatural events that often occur on the ship, the mortal crew members inevitably gradually collapse.

The problem of the ship, the problem of navigation, the problem of morale... all these weighed on Su Lie's heart.

He knew that no matter how determined they were subjectively, they could no longer hold on objectively and were heading towards inevitable destruction.

He had even made plans for the worst. At the last moment, he would kill every collapsed person on the ship and every demon that invaded the ship. He would take the most determined warriors in his regiment and stay with his ship forever and ever, until they themselves lost all supplies and reinforcements and perished under the siege of endless enemies, which meant that he had fulfilled his duty to the Emperor.

But at this time, Gu Hang appeared.

He could now believe with a high probability that it was not a deception or an illusion.

Is that... a turning point?

Although he had made plans for the worst, it would certainly be better to lead the regiment out.

Although his face was still vigilant, he was actually already throbbing.

...

Gu Hang, who was on the opposite side, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Phoenix Lord finally did not raise his sword to chop him up unreasonably again.

He quickly spoke up and explained some of the situation.

Gu Hang did not mention how he found the Phoenix Crown Feather. The system certainly could not tell him, but if he did not, he would have to lie. Gu Hang felt that lying was definitely a very bad choice in the current situation.

I would rather be honest and say that this matter could not be told.

The focus afterwards was mainly on how Gu Hang planned to help Su Lie.

In short, Gu Hang could give the Phoenix Crown Feather a navigation coordinate in the subspace - in fact, it was his Storm Kingdom.

When they arrived near the Storm Kingdom, Gu Hang could tear the subspace apart and take them out.

It sounds simple, and in fact...it is quite simple.

The premise is that Su Lie must believe it.

Sure enough, after Gu Hang finished speaking, Su Lie did not say a word, but just stared at him intently.

Gu Hang felt quite uncomfortable being looked at.

At this point, he also realized that since the two met, fought, and talked later, he was the only one who spoke, and Su Lie never spoke, which made people wonder if he was a mute.

After talking to this extent, Gu Hang had nothing to say.

He was silent, and his eyes just stared at Su Lie.

After a long while, Su Lie finally spoke: "I will let my people try."

"What?" Gu Hang was stunned.

But he quickly reacted: "That's the best, as soon as possible, I hope you can still catch up with the final battle."

At this point, Gu Hang also told Su Lie about the current situation of the Iron Armor War, and complained about his successor and the commander-in-chief of the northern line being too reckless.

Su Lie listened very seriously, but did not give any comments.

He rarely commented on things he did not have a deep understanding of.

...

After returning to the real universe, Gu Hang's mood was generally very good.

Although there was a fight and no winner, he was not going to fight, but to rescue people.

Even if he couldn't get the Phoenix, it was at least a friendly force. Gu Hang didn't really value more than a hundred Space Marines, even if they were elites of the founding regiment. No matter how good they were, could they all be company champions? The founding regiment couldn't do that either.

However, this Glorious Queen battleship was so tempting. It's boring to fight alone, but if there was a whole escort fleet to protect it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for a Glorious Queen to defeat ten battleships.

Gu Hang didn't know how Phoenix, which had a Glorious Queen, lost the war with Iron Armor. He wanted to ask, but unfortunately the atmosphere of the previous meeting was not suitable. Su Lie didn't completely believe him yet, so he couldn't ask.

It doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities to find out later.

Even if he couldn't get the Glorious Queen, it would be a very important bargaining chip if he could temporarily put it under his command in the war.

However, the commander of the Su Lie regiment seemed to be a little hesitant.

Before leaving, Gu Hang met with the think tanks of Phoenix and left navigation marks. In the subspace, the Kingdom of Storms certainly has little presence, and cannot play the navigation role similar to the star torch on Holy Terra, which represents the projection of the Emperor's golden throne in the subspace. However, the special navigation route left by Gu Hang, the Lord of the Kingdom of Storms, cannot be used on a large scale, but it can provide a reliable approach route for only one ship.

Correcting the navigation path, Phoenix Crown Feather can go to the Kingdom of Storms. Gu Hang's psychic power clearly guides the way in the middle. As long as their navigators go in this direction unswervingly, they will definitely not go wrong in the middle.

But in fact, there are two more questions.

First, are they willing to go on firmly?

So far, they have not meant to move forward according to the navigation left by Gu Hang.

If they say that they are unwilling to follow the route given by Gu Hang and refuse to believe it even if they die... then it's up to them.

It can only be said that the situation is not critical enough, they can still survive, and there is still a choice. When you are really desperate, you have to leave even if you don't want to.

Gu Hang is not in a hurry anyway.

Gu Hang is more concerned about another issue.

That is the one who has set his sights on Su Lie and Phoenix.

At first, Gu Hang thought it was an ordinary sub-space demon or a lesser god.

Gu Hang was not worried about enemies of this level.

However, when he really felt the pair of vague eyes looking at him, he changed his mind.

That was definitely not an ordinary thing.

It gave Gu Hang the feeling that he was in the same class as the "kind father"!

He was one of the four greatest and most unspeakable evil gods in the warp!

He was still far away, and whether it was the Phoenix Crown Feather or Su Lie, the war captain, although he was very eager, they were all the property of the Emperor after all, and were covered by the Emperor's great power.

The lustful prince couldn't just take action to grab it, and he was afraid of causing trouble; he didn't even look at this side with full concentration, but just knocked on the edge.

However, he was afraid of the Emperor, but obviously he was not afraid of Gu Hang.

If Gu Hang brought the Phoenix Crown Feather to the vicinity of his own Storm Kingdom, would it also bring the gaze of the lustful prince over?

His kingdom of God cannot withstand the gaze of a truly great evil god!

To be honest, he had this experience once before. That was when he killed and devoured the Great Unclean One, Gowaga, and attracted the gaze of the kind father.

Gu Hang had to thank the emperor. At that time, it should be the emperor who helped him to cover up his kingdom of God and prevented the "kind father" from really seeing it. Otherwise, Gu Hang might not have developed so comfortably and slowly. His storm trial would surely face the attack of endless plague demons.

And this time, if he took the phoenix over without thinking and let the existence of the same level see it, then Gu Hang's storm kingdom of God might also be baptized by the swarm of desire demons.

Gu Hang must think of a way to avoid this situation.

What to do?

He himself has some ways to cover up his whereabouts, but they are only for himself. He dare not guarantee that he can hide an entire ship under the vague attention of the Prince of Desire.

To do this, you still have to rely on the great emperor.

Gu Hang couldn't contact the Divine Emperor directly.

But he had two indirect methods that he could try one by one.
