Chapter 86 The Truth
"That hero sacrificed his life to attract a wandering soul from beyond the galaxy, hoping to change this dark future."
"She is an immortal being, a good friend I've known since the 2s. Her greatest talent is foreseeing the future. She said that in the 30s, the revival of humanity will be at this very moment."
"At that time, a life from the outside world will pass through this world. She sacrificed her own life, anchored this soul, and brought this variable into this world in order to change this world that is destined to fall into darkness."
The emperor spoke slowly, his tone filled with sorrow, as if he deeply regretted the sacrifice of his friend.
As for Li Wei, who was listening, he could no longer maintain his calm expression. His body went limp and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was sitting on the sofa, so he did not lose his composure.
He never imagined that his time travel was not accidental, but rather that someone was using their life to orchestrate a plan to firmly capture him.
After a while, Li Wei still felt something was wrong. He suddenly wondered if the wizarding world he had first transmigrated to really existed.
Just then, the emperor, having calmed down, continued:
"That hero, her name is Elizabeth, and her favorite thing is being a witch... She says that psionicists' abilities are no different from those of wizards, and she likes to call herself a wizard..."
"And in some ways, her psychic talent is even greater than mine..."
The emperor continued speaking slowly, but Li Wei could no longer hear anything he said. His mind went completely blank, and his heart pounded wildly:
"Ellie, isn't that the name of the blonde wizard Ellie from the wizarding world? This..."
Only now did Li Wei realize that he had been deceived all along, deceived by that "wizard" Elizabeth. There was no wizarding world at all, nor was there an infiltrator system.
He was simply dragged into the Warhammer universe by this powerful immortal psionic being Elizabeth at the cost of her life, and in order to nurture him, she disguised that psionic knowledge as wizarding knowledge from the system shop to guide his growth.
Li Wei felt cheated, but he couldn't get angry. After all, the person was gone, and there was no point in arguing with the deceased.
Coming to his senses, Li Wei slowly stood up and took the initiative to speak:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your honesty. I understand!"
He already understood the whole truth, but since the emperor hadn't revealed that he was the time traveler, there was no need for him to say it outright or make it clear.
"Hmm." The emperor, his expression somber, remained silent, clearly not wanting to reveal his vulnerable side to Li Wei. "If there's nothing else, you may leave. I'd like some peace and quiet."
"Farewell, Your Majesty." Li Wei bowed deeply to the Emperor's lonely figure before turning and leaving.
With a heavy heart, Li Wei slowly walked to Macado, who was guarding the door. Seeing Macado's cold eyes, he understood why Macado had been targeting him.
Elizabeth was a friend of the Lord of Mankind, so she was most likely also a close friend of Macardo. Macardo was taking his anger out on himself because of his friend's sacrifice.
Squeak!
With a complex expression, Li Wei walked out of the heavy alloy door, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Macado, who had been guarding the door, closed it behind him once he was sure Levi had completely disappeared.
Then, he walked to the emperor, who had already turned around and was looking perfectly normal. The emperor was engrossed in reading an ancient book and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, why...why did you deceive Li Wei?"
"After all, he was also one of the biggest victims of this plan."
"Hehe!" The Emperor, with a smile on his lips, continued to casually flip through the ancient book in his hand, saying without looking up, "I already witnessed Li Wei's laziness back in the 2K era. With his personality, if you really explain everything to him and restore his memories, he'll probably just quit."
"Do you remember when Tzeentch gave Levi the system, he really did nothing but exchange those points, hoping to use a huge number of points to exchange for items and crush others? You see, he'll never change this habit."
Macado, who was still indignant on Li Wei's behalf, deeply sympathized and shook his head helplessly, saying:
"However, Li Wei's sacrifice was indeed great. If it weren't for his idea to use his soul from outside the universe to seduce Tzeentch, we wouldn't have been able to obtain that array that can dismantle everything."
"What, you're feeling sorry for him now? Have you forgotten his embarrassing past, using the image of that blonde girl, Elizabeth, to prank you online during the Golden Age?"
The Emperor's words had barely faded when Macado's expression changed drastically. Recalling the embarrassing incident of being tricked by Li Wei years ago, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Wei, once you regain your memory, I'm going to beat you into a pig's head."
But the seemingly nonchalant emperor sighed inwardly:
"I'm afraid that day will never come. Li Wei probably won't be able to recover his memories. He has completely erased his memories of coming to the Warhammer universe. Otherwise, even if he actively revealed his identity as a transmigrator, he wouldn't be able to fool Tzeentch. Besides, Li Wei is tired. Immortality is not a good thing; it's a curse."
The emperor, his smile fading, closed the ancient book and said solemnly:
"Don't overthink it. We need to proceed with our next plan. Li Wei has made it clear to us that if the Empire cannot completely eradicate the Four Gods now, we will surely fall into failure."
"However, Your Majesty, given your far-sightedness, which surpasses even that of your son Conrad Coz, nine Primarchs are destined to rebel. Who should decide who will be chosen to betray us?"
"I'm standing here," said Macado, frowning.
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor, who had been relaxed, suddenly lowered his head and started reading the ancient book he had just stopped reading again. When he reached the last page, he saw some handwritten annotations by Li Wei in the blank space, with the date written as: 026.M3.
"Let's see what Li Wei decides. After all, sacrifice is inevitable. We must resolve everything this time. I don't even want to live anymore when I see myself lying on the golden throne in the future."
The emperor remained silent.
The sacrifice of his offspring was inevitable, but the necessary sacrifice was to break this endless cycle of darkness.
He already knew the future, which is why he was willing to cooperate with Li Wei. He didn't want to be trapped on the golden throne for ten thousand years as a skeleton.
Moreover, he was unwilling to let his old friend leave again. Looking at the hunched figure of Macardo with his weathered face, he also thought of Li Wei, who had already been liberated, and felt a pang of envy. However, it would be soon. As long as the plan was successfully implemented, he could also abdicate ahead of schedule.
