To Roboute Guilliman's surprise, Sanguinius himself, under the Emperor's guidance, founded a religious faith centered on the Lord of Mankind - a faith that would later be modified and established as the state religion.
Without any hesitation, Primarch Robert Guilliman immediately returned to Terra with Sanguinius, Lion Johnson and Corax to hold a second meeting.
132.M31-
*Second Meeting*: Roboute Guilliman, Angron, Vulkan, Rogal Dorn, Sanguinius, Lion's Jonson, Corax, Mortarion, Valdor the Custodes representative, and numerous Space Marine representatives convened a meeting.
The meeting lasted for nine days and nine nights, and the quarrels between the demigods could be faintly heard even outside the palace.
This meeting profoundly changed the direction of the empire:
-
Establishing a state religion: Sanguinius proposed the establishment of a state religion. On this issue, Sanguinius did not give in at all and stated in a very strong attitude that a state religion was an organization that must be established.
At the meeting, Sanguinius said in person,
[This is a decision that determines whether the Lord of Humanity can wake up.]
At the moment when the Lord of Mankind "ascended to God", in the dark side of the Empire, Sanguinius glimpsed the truth that the Lord of Mankind showed him -
That is, the Lord of mankind must become a god and a state religion must be established.
Within the Eye of Terror, the power wielded by the Lord of Mankind comes from the future, not from what he possesses in the present.
There is no time limit in the subspace, and the Lord of Mankind forcibly overdraws the power of faith in the future.
In other words, the Emperor has determined the future direction for the Empire, and a state religion must be established.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the human masters in the past to possess so much power.
In the order of cause and effect, the fruit has been picked and it is time to repay the cause.
Therefore, when it came to establishing the state religion, Sanguinius made no compromise.
The proposal was supported by Lion, Guilliman, Corax, and Valdor, Vulkan abstained, Mortarion opposed, and Dorn strongly opposed.
The proposal was approved and the state religion was established.
After the meeting, the Archangel himself wrote the Bible, referring to the past works of the Word Bearers Primarch Lorgar and following the advice of Mortarion, the Bible was completed.
-
Establishment of the Inquisition and the Assassins' Court: Guilliman approved the application to establish the Inquisition and the Assassins' Court according to the materials left by Malcador.
-
Creation of the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy: Guilliman dismantles the mortal auxiliaries into the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum.
-
Creation of the Council of High Lords: Roboute Guilliman proposed the creation of a Council of High Lords.
Sanguinius, Corax, Valdor, Vulkan, and Dorn supported it, while Mortarion and the Lion vehemently opposed it.
The proposal was approved and the Council of High Lords was established.
Roboute Guilliman's policies largely continued Malcador's legacy.
-
The idea of a chapter was first proposed by Guilliman.
-
Discord: After the second meeting, Rogal Dorn led all the Imperial Fists away from Terra and immediately headed for the planets that had not yet been recaptured by the Dark Side of the Empire, continuing the Second Crusade.
Sanguinius remained on Terra, establishing the State Religion.
Corax became Chief Inquisitor of the Inquisition and was responsible for the establishment of the Inquisition.
Sevatar became the chief instructor of the Assassin's Court and was responsible for the establishment of the Assassin's Court.
Angron and Vulkan, who were not good at government affairs, assisted the Primarchs who stayed on Terra.
Lion Jonson stayed on Terra for a while, during which he traveled to the Himalayas. Afterwards, Lion returned to his home planet Caliban.
The First Legion's home planet Caliban is also near the Eye of Terror. Since the Astronomican was extinguished, the Legion has not been able to make contact with its home planet.
Mortarion remained on Terra for a time, quarreling with Sanguinius, before visiting Mars with Angron, and then returned to Barbarus with the Death Guard.

226.M31-
Dogmatic Change: The Mechanicum of Mars has revised its doctrine, changing 7,896,576 bytes of data to match that of the Imperial Ecclesiarchy.
It should be noted that, regardless of whether it is the state religion or the changes to the Martian Mechanicus, the core idea is that the Lord of Mankind is the savior of all mankind, and the descendants of the Lord of Mankind are the gods walking in the world. Among them, as an archangel, Sanguinius is the spokesperson for the Emperor's will on earth.
In the minor corners of these religious books, one can see sporadic introductions about Pluto, but just like Pluto himself, for most people in the empire, this part of the content is hidden in the darkness and is unknown to them.
For the Primarchs, except for Mortarion, the other Primarchs opposed the Pluto version for various reasons.
In the Storm Star Region, a religious version that added the legend of Pluto began to spread.
348.M31-
The disappearance of Rogal Dorn: After most of the Empire's dark territory was recovered, most of the Imperial Fists, Primarchs, and Phalanx in the Misty Sector lost contact with the Empire.
After the Astronomican was reignited, the astropaths used by the Imperial Fists for communication were all "self-taught" psykers provided by their Navigator families. As a result, their communications with the Empire were not smooth and signal disconnections often occurred.
After two Terran years without any contact with the Imperial Fists, Rogal Dorn, his Imperial Fists force, and the Phalanx were declared missing.
Before his disappearance, the last communication the Empire received was as follows:
+W… O… O… O… W… N…+
351.M31-

The Empire's national strength reached its peak during this period, productivity increased significantly, and the people on the planets near Terra lived in peace and stability.
At the same time, under the guidance of the "Olympia Accords (Revised Edition)", some new technologies developed by the Martian Mechanicus gradually entered the practical field.
Pope Sanguinius announced that the Empire will vigorously develop the state religion in the future.
After the accumulation of wealth and the unremitting promotion of the state religion in the empire, people's acceptance and recognition of religion reached a new level.
The people of the empire firmly believe that under the leadership of the demigods, mankind will enter a new era.
On countless planets, magnificent churches are rising from the ground, and believers are constantly praising the Lord of Humanity and the Demigods.
In addition to the southernmost Storm Star Region, the devout prayers of human believers even formed layers of light golden ripples in the warp space.
Among them, the subspace projection of Holy Terra was almost submerged in the light gold color.
947.M31-
The state religion discovered that there were voices questioning the state religion in the Storm Star Region.
998.M31-
The Star Language Court notified that unusual psychic fluctuations were detected in the hazy star field, but the phenomenon quickly disappeared.

However, a powerful force has been secretly eyeing the Human Empire... Next, the Human Empire will face the largest war since the Great Heresy - the Beast War.
