To hold the ceremony, Eden had already used up the food supplies for the next month in the Court District, so finding new sources of food had become an urgent matter.
Now that he was sure he could use the teleportation ability, he immediately ordered Carter and the guards to escort him to the warehouse district.
These warehouses were originally built to store the tithe materials for the Imperium, but now they were empty—perfect for his needs.
Once they arrived, Eden instructed Carter and the others to wait outside.
He also told them that he would be alone and might even disappear for a while.
Unless he gave specific orders, no one was to enter!
After issuing his orders, Eden piloted his hovercar into the largest warehouse of the group.
The warehouse was vast and empty, about the size of dozens of football fields—large enough to park a small starship inside.
After driving for a while, he stopped in the open area at the center of the warehouse.
Standing in the middle, Eden chose an ideal spot, then activated the warp energy of his small sun!
In an instant, a massive surge of psychic energy gathered in front of him, causing intense spatial vibrations.
He could feel the hope energy being consumed at an alarming rate!
50,000 points, 100,000 points!
Crack!
A small tear appeared in the fabric of space before him, and dark purple mist began to seep out.
The circular rift slowly expanded until it formed a warp portal nearly five meters high.
The inner walls of the portal rotated slowly with dark purple mist, faint sparks of lightning flashing within, and in the middle was a bright light.
This was the warp tunnel leading to the Green Wave Farm aboard the space ark!
Eden could feel the pressure of the warp energy radiating from the portal.
In the past, he had only explored the warp in his astral form, but this time he would be traveling there physically, which made him feel a little anxious.
However, thanks to his warp essence, he was much stronger in the warp than in the material world.
Even if he encountered something powerful, he could always escape.
As long as nothing happened to his warp core, the "small sun," he would be fine.
Once the warp tunnel stabilized, he took a deep breath and walked into the light.
With a flash of blinding dark purple light, the space around him warped and compressed.
Eden, along with the warp tunnel, vanished, leaving only the hovercar parked in the middle of the warehouse.
Outside the massive warehouse, Carter and the others felt the surge of spatial energy.
But they didn't panic.
They had thoroughly inspected the warehouse and surrounding areas before the Governor entered.
They were certain that the Governor was the only person inside.
Without a doubt, this spatial disturbance had been caused by their Governor, who had been blessed with power by the Emperor.
Since it was a secret of their Governor and they had been ordered not to enter, they, as loyal soldiers, would faithfully follow his orders!
Inside the warp tunnel, Eden felt a strong sense of dislocation, causing him to lose track of time.
He didn't know how long it had been before a light suddenly appeared before him.
Seeing this, Eden stepped forward without hesitation, and his feet touched solid steel flooring.
With a soft swoosh, the warp tunnel behind him, filled with dark purple mist, vanished without a trace.
He had finally arrived!
Eden now stood on the deck of a massive ship. Around him were towering walls made of various ship components, some of which were embedded with twisted skeletons.
Through the gaps in the walls, he could see the chaotic, swirling dark purple warp energy outside, occasionally illuminated by flashes of massive energy bolts.
Among these swirling energies were pieces of ship debris, bones, and strange objects.
If he listened closely, he could hear faint wails and whispers.
Eden listened carefully and finally made out the sound: "Wa—?"
"Waaagh!"
Through the cracks, he saw a green-skinned Ork waving a spiked club, joyfully shouting as it floated by, before being sucked into a distant warp vortex.
"Hiss~ The warp really does have everything…" Eden muttered to himself in awe.
He continued watching for a while and saw various twisted demons and fragments of artificial objects.
He even spotted a massive dark red battleship moving in the distance.
It was an enormous starship, its gigantic energy cannon leaving a lasting impression. Just gazing at it from afar filled him with awe.
Luckily, the ship didn't notice the space ark. That would have been trouble.
Satisfied with his curiosity for now, Eden finally remembered why he was there.
He was here to find the Green Wave Farm!
Looking ahead, he saw a half-destroyed steel gate not far away, with the faint outline of the words "Green Wave Farm" on it.
Eden slowly walked toward the steel gate, and as he got closer, he felt a breeze blowing from within.
He could hear the sound of rice plants rustling in the wind and the gentle trickle of a stream.
Finally, he stepped into the Green Wave Farm.
What greeted his eyes was an endless expanse of green rice fields swaying gently in the breeze, with small streams running between them.
The clear waters babbled, with little fish swimming to and fro.
This idyllic scene was completely out of place in the warp and in the grim darkness of the Warhammer world.
It could only be described as magical.
Perhaps only during humanity's Golden Age could anyone have enjoyed such a scene.
The galaxy now was a time of blood and fire, overrun with chaos and xenos.
Simply surviving was a struggle—no one had the luxury to maintain something like this.
Today's Imperium of Man, in terms of art, culture, and technology, was far inferior to the Golden Age that all humans longed for.
The knowledge of how to produce various machines had long been lost.
Even the Adeptus Mechanicus, the symbol of Imperial technology, only relied on digging up STCs (Standard Template Constructs) from the Golden Age to copy pre-designed and templated products.
The greatest dream of the Mechanicus priests was to find a complete STC system, said to contain all of humanity's technological knowledge from that time.
In this way, science had effectively become archaeology.
Even more ironically, the Adeptus Mechanicus strictly forbade any independent scientific research or experimentation by civilians, turning the dissemination of knowledge into a privilege.
Eden had come to the Green Wave Farm to find the STC that maintained the farm's agricultural technology—and the intelligent robot.
It didn't take long before he found the robot.
However, it was holding what looked like an energy weapon, aiming it at him.
At the same time, several energy turrets extended from the farm and targeted him.
Why in the warp would a farm have this stuff?
Eden quickly raised his hands, feeling utterly exasperated.
"Outsider, cease all movement, or we will use force!"
"I mean no harm…" Eden replied.
"I know, otherwise you would already be dead!
I am truly sorry, I am not a rude robot.
But the Green Wave Farm was once invaded by alien species, resulting in damage to the rice fields.
To protect the farm, I was forced to implement certain defenses!
You appear to be human…"
"Of course, I am human. Pure-blooded human."
Eden's voice was firm.
The robot looked at Eden, seemingly nervous but also slightly excited:
"That's wonderful! I need to conduct a gene test on you, though. There are too many alien species that resemble humans these days!"
"And if I don't pass the test?" Eden asked.
"Then, like those aliens…"
Following the robot's gaze, Eden saw several skeletons.
They appeared to be wearing Imperial Guard uniforms.
WTF?
