Chapter 84 Homecoming and Hope
Did Calvin become a god? Calvin the God of Redemption? Or Calvin the Second God Emperor?
I've been thinking too much...
If the birth of a god is really so cheap and simple, how could it be the turn of a wandering black household like Calvin?
With the population size of the human race, there should be at least one or two gods belonging to the human race in the past tens of thousands of years of history, right?
Not to mention the ancient gods such as the Four Chaos Gods who exist in the form of rules.
Let's say the Emperor himself is the embodiment of the faith of the entire empire. It has been eight thousand years since the birth of the state religion. Has he become a god?
Compared with the population of the entire empire, can the souls of only two billion people reach one millionth of the power of faith that the Emperor has received in the past history?
The answer is obviously no.
The current total population of the empire has always been a mystery.
Even the Ministry of the Interior, which is set up specifically to manage the empire, cannot figure out the true number of the empire's population under the current inefficient management model of the empire.
After all, in addition to the developed commercial and industrial worlds, there are all kinds of backward barbaric worlds, tribal worlds and other strange existences in the empire.
But if we only count the world of effective administrative management of the empire, what does the population of this mere planet count for in the empire that claims to have millions of planets?
You must know that it has been 8,000 years since the emergence of the state religion, and the people of the empire are not immortal.
In terms of the average theoretical life expectancy of less than 30 years old, 8,000 years is enough for the entire empire's population to be renewed for many generations?
How much faith have the people of the empire who have died in 8,000 years contributed to the God Emperor?
This can't make the God Emperor among the gods, so what can he Calvin know? Of course not.
What's more, the so-called "redemption" power that Calvin currently holds in his hands is only a little stronger than the original seed.
From the acquisition and germination of seeds, to the growth and condensation of power.
And then the concept of authority spread and perfected, until the final divine fire was lit, the priesthood and true name appeared in the origin of this universe, the throne was raised and finally became a god.
Calvin has just started on this difficult extraordinary road that few people have succeeded in for billions of years.
After he completely consumed and transformed those "desperate souls", the crisis he faced no longer existed.
And it was also after the intense battle and crisis were completely over that he really made time to understand that the "authority" that brought him victory was not as omnipotent as he imagined.
This "redemption" was born only for Calvin's previous behavior, so the power it possessed was naturally limited to the goal that Calvin had been obsessed with before.
Yes, it is the dead soul. It is only the redemption of the dead souls who died in war and pollution.
Even the real natural death is not his responsibility, and those souls without obsession have their own destination.
It is still far from the real redemption of all things, and it is only a certain aspect of "redemption" in the full sense.
Or, according to Calvin's memories of his previous life, the abilities this thing has now are no different from those of monks and Taoist priests who "perform rituals" and "suppress the dead".
It's just that in this world without reincarnation, Calvin made the best of a bad situation and turned the final destination of this salvation into his own spiritual world...
So after all this hard work, Calvin, who understood his current abilities, smiled bitterly at the "redemption" in his hand and muttered:
"I never thought that I, Lao Jiang, would become a charlatan after two lifetimes... This is a bit disgraceful..."
After studying the latest power in front of him, Calvin was left with only the spoils of war - those that were gathered in the fruit with the fragments of these souls and were originally used to prepare for the Eternal Cancer to ascend to the devil, and the collection of the life force of these two billion people.
Only this power can support it to complete its final growth in the real universe.
Let it grow into a huge body that can wear the mantle of a planet as clothes.
And now, these pure, ownerless powers are in front of Calvin.
Calvin is not greedy for the benefits of this power.
As a human, he does not need these life forces.
As a gene original, his body is already large enough.
And as a human, he has an instinctive taboo against this life force that also comes from humans:
If this thing is eaten, it is no different from eating human flesh, right?
So in the spiritual world, he collected this vigorous life force that was about to overflow, and calculated when he could go to SATA No. 1 again and return it to that planet.
Calvin, who had finished everything, floated quietly in the sky, listening to the sound of hymns faintly coming from the land under his feet and smiled.
The faith and gratitude of these believers themselves are the biggest gains of his trip.
Then his figure disappeared in the sky, and his soul returned to the sun just above the sky and fell into sleep again.
After obtaining these new powers and faith power, both his spirit and body need to grow further to adapt to this new change.
This growth is different from the previous ones and will be a long transformation of his soul.
And the transformation process has just begun...
The Soul Redeemer is still sailing in the quiet subspace channel.
The abnormal fluctuations surrounding the entire ship and the drastic changes in Calvin's physical signs made Calvin's guards forget the instructions (threats) of the pharmacist brothers.
They rushed into the medical room and nervously surrounded Calvin's medical cabin, blocking the pharmacist brothers who came after hearing the news.
After trying several times and failing to squeeze into the cabin, the other party loudly rebuked this group of fools who could not help except watching the fun. The angry voice of the pharmacist brother came from the loudspeaker on his white helmet:
"Get out! Get out! In the name of the throne! Can't you take off this turtle shell and come back? Whoever wears a Terminator to enter the medical cabin again in the future, I will turn against him!"
And when Gavins and others walked to the door of the medical cabin with embarrassed faces under the drive of the pharmacist, the storm in the subspace also disappeared without warning.
Calvin, who regained consciousness, opened his eyes and looked at the people present from the transparent life support cabin.
Gavins, who was worried about Calvin, happened to turn his head at the door and look at the direction of Calvin's life support cabin.
"He's awake!" Gavins shouted. All the brothers turned back...
So the pharmacist brothers who had just cleared the space and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief could only watch the group of Terminators who had just been driven out rushing in again...
"Hey~! Are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine. I'm okay for now."
"For now?"
"Well, I feel like I may need to hibernate for a while to adjust the gap between my spirit and body again..."
"………………Speak human language. Brothers don't understand what you mean."
"………………I still need to sleep for a while, you can get out!"
"Hey! That's right! Let's go, brothers, let's go eat..."
"Let's go! It is said that there is a new batch of special ant beef in the restaurant today..."
Calvin, who was separated from the life support cabin, communicated with everyone through the psychic channel happily. The efficient communication within a few seconds made everyone feel at ease.
Then, after staring at Calvin for a few seconds, which was weird in the eyes of the pharmacist brothers, the Terminators all walked out at the same time.
The psychic fluctuations in the air made the pharmacist mistakenly think that it was ordinary psychic information delivery.
But why the other party still used this extremely consuming but highly confidential communication method on their own ship was not what the pharmacist wanted to know.
In his opinion, the less curiosity there is about some things, the better.
The other party was so cautious in keeping secrets, and naturally he had his reasons. He could not do much, just understand...
After carefully reading the long data tape spit out by Shangshan on the vital sign monitoring according to the procedure, the pharmacist said to Calvin in the tank:
"The current data indicators tend to be stable, but my suggestion is that you'd better stay in it and observe for a while."
Knowing that he still needs to sleep, Calvin floated in the tank and nodded to the other party.
After receiving his confirmation signal, the pharmacist said no more, turned around and turned off the lighting in the cabin and walked out of the cabin.
The quiet darkness once again surrounded Calvin, and he, who was mentally exhausted, obeyed his instincts and fell into a long sleep...
The long subspace journey continued, and the entire fleet did not encounter any accidents on the way.
On the ninth day of the warp voyage, the fleet rendezvoused with the battleship Supreme Decree of the Hercules Sector, and Galvin was transferred to the larger and more comprehensive medical department on the battleship.
On the 30th day of the warp voyage, the new fleet with the Supreme Decree as the flagship arrived at the assembly point of the star field navy fleet, and the main table
On the 90th day of the warp voyage, the fleet finally arrived at the world of Tass, one of the secret nodes of the Inquisition in the Pacific Sector, for a brief and secret supply.
On the 130th day of the warp voyage, the fleet arrived at Terra. After a brief communication with the star sector fleet node located on the iron ring of Mars, the fleet disappeared in the fog of war that surrounded the Titans for thousands of years.
Galvin's hibernation time was much longer than he expected.
A full five years of hibernation was something he had not thought of when he first had the last communication with Gavins.
But this is reasonable.
Because the generation of the initial authority has completely put an end to his mortal life.
After possessing the first authority, the divine soul has completely separated from the mundane world.
At the end of his road of collecting and establishing authority, there is the destiny of standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods.
Unfortunately, Calvin is not a native, so he will never be able to find his own subspace essence in this universe like the original bodies before him.
Because the power of the subspace essence is so strong, once it is found, the power of the original body can be multiplied geometrically.
Fortunately, Calvin is not a native, so the path he finally chose may not be worth mentioning at the moment.
But on the road of authority, his growth potential makes the upper limit he can eventually have jaw-dropping.
On this bumpy road, if Calvin is lucky enough to reach the end, then his power is not comparable to those brothers who are destined to have an upper limit at birth.
If we must compare it, the power that Galvin inherited from the Emperor may not be worth mentioning compared to all the previous Primarch brothers.
But there is one thing that is unique to him and extremely precious, that is hope.
I changed the network for a day, sorry for posting late. There will be another chapter later. In addition, the collection growth is a bit pitiful, please vote. Thank you very much.
