Ferrus stared at the so-called entrance to the microcosm.

It looked like a child's clumsy line drawing.

It is three meters high, suspended in the air, and moving slowly.

"The entrance to the microcosm?" Ferrus' tone was full of confusion.

He stretched out his hand to touch the linear gate floating in the air, but he touched nothing, and his hand did not feel any field.

Even if it is a projection, there will be static electricity.

But there is nothing on this wireframe gate.

Just like a shadow.

He could look directly through the frame and see Guilliman on the throne.

This thing is like a transparent projection, it just emits light but does not exist in this universe.

Ferrus could see the wireframe door, but could not sense it.

This is all too weird.

An entrance

So where does it connect to

Ferrus' eyes were filled with confusion.

This creation was beyond his previous understanding.

He tried several times, but there was no response from the strange wireframe door.

No touch or interaction.

Even a holocron should react to the user's actions.

Why is this thing not reacting at all

Seeing the confusion and puzzlement in Ferrus' eyes, Guilliman began to explain: "The Microcosm Project has been in progress for a long time, and the progress has been very slow. Until now, they have only produced a defective product, which is also a groundbreaking achievement. If it can be popularized, the benefits will be unimaginable."

Guilliman explained the Microcosm Project to Ferrus.

Guilliman already had the idea for this project in Ultramar.

A floating screen appeared in front of Guilliman.

Xiaojue operating system version 1.0.

The highest authority holder: The Supreme Ruler of Holy Humanity - Lord of Humanity

Whether to grant the Iron Hands Primarch Ferrus relevant permissions

Accompanied by a series of prompts, Guilliman did not pause at all, and clicked OK on the virtual screen to grant Ferrus the authority to enter the microcosm.

After confirming that the authorization was complete, Guilliman asked Ferrus to try again.

This time, his arm did not pass through the moving line gate, but sank into it.

Ferrus looked horrified.

His hand seemed to have penetrated into a spatial section that was different from the real universe.

Ferrus tried to catch something, but found nothing.

There was nothing inside.

It's like a void.

"My hand." Ferrus asked in surprise, "How could this happen?"

He pulled his hand back, and his hand and arm were intact.

"Just now, did I touch another dimensional space?" Ferrus pointed at the linear gate and asked, "This is incredible. My senses cannot detect what is inside."

The hand and a small section of the arm passed through the gate formed by the lines and disappeared, without appearing on the other side.

He could see the cross-section of his forearm, just like a mirror, with the bones, blood vessels and tendons clearly visible.

The smooth cross-section gave people a feeling that the arm seemed to be cut off by some mysterious force, but there was no pain at all.

"The entrance has an automatic recognition function. No one who is not selected can enter it." Guilliman said: "Go in and take a look, Ferrus, and feel the power of creation."

Ferrus stared at his brother and chose to imagine.

Stepped into it.

The majestic body sank into the wireframe and disappeared.

... ... ..

... ... .

A dark age when time, space, and even chaos had never existed.

Ferrus had a peculiar feeling.

He transcends all dimensions of time and space.

Here, time becomes zero and everything is frozen.

He lost his sense of time, and instead gained a sense of transcendence, a sense of being outside of everything and transcending everything.

Ferrus had an illusion that the moment was eternity.

Human language has no corresponding words to express the moment when time begins.

It is not right to describe that time began after they entered.

The latter is a concept of time.

There is no time in the microcosm, so naturally there is no concept of before or after.

The microcosm is activated, time drives space, and all things can move.

This is a question that has risen to the level of philosophy.

It started, but the exact time of its start could not be defined.

The light slowly brightened, like the first beam of light piercing the darkness produced by the Big Bang.

Ferrus saw everything inside with his extraordinary senses.

Inside is a magnificent palace.

Statues of Guilliman and the Emperor stood side by side in front of the temple.

The two statues each hold a huge iron chain in their hands, and at the top of the chain is a huge energy pile.

Just floating in the void like that.

It looks like two great men worked together to grab the star, allowing it, a small universe that does not belong to the big universe, to provide light and heat.

There are a large number of mechanical equipment standing in the hall, forming a mountain and towering high. The meters are shaking and swinging back and forth with the surge of energy.

The mechanical priest in a red and black robe paced back and forth, monitoring the operating status of each mechanical equipment.

"What is this place?" Ferrus' eyes were full of confusion.

The light swirled around Ferrus, as if weaving into the appearance of Guilliman.

Ferrus was amazed at this miraculous method, but he did not show it.

His brother always gives people a feeling that he can do everything.

"A small universe, a space independent of the main universe, a bit like the pocket dimension of the Necromancer, but more advanced." Guilliman explained: "The pocket dimension is still within the scope of the main universe, but the small universe is independent of the main universe."

"Such a method is comparable to the creation of the world." Ferrus exclaimed: "It is really amazing. With such profound technology, you hold the authority of the Creator."

"Don't use such a superstitious description. The creation of this small universe is more dependent on the scholars of the Mechanicus." Guilliman said calmly: "You and I both know that gods are lies."

Ferrus looked at this small universe.

He felt that this small universe was like a room.

I could see the end at a glance, and saw countless versions of myself and Guilliman standing in the void, looking at the hall.

Their every movement was synchronized, as if there were a mirror on both sides of the room.

This is not a replication, but a cycle of spatial structures, which gives him this strange perspective, where the end is the destination.

"Is this what the edge of the universe looks like? Finite yet boundless, like the snake of fate, connected from beginning to end, with no end."

Guilliman nodded, agreeing with Ferrus's statement.

"Why did you bring me to see these, Your Majesty?" Ferrus looked at Guilliman. He knew that he should be the first Primarch to know about the existence of the microcosm.

Guilliman never does anything meaningless, and it is obvious that he has a new plan.

"This microcosm project is not yet completed. It does not meet my requirements. For this, I know that I cannot blame those scholars. They have tried their best. But their speed is still too slow. I need a brother who is equally thirsty for knowledge to help me speed up those projects."

"You want me to lead the development of the sub-universe project?" asked Ferrus.

"Not only that, I also need you to do this." Guilliman handed a plan to Ferrus.

He read the entire content in a few seconds and understood the importance behind the plan.

"Creation of an Imperial Personal Knowledge System?" Ferrus repeated the name of the project in the proposal.

The emergence of the subspace firewall is like humans entering the Internet age in the subspace.

Everyone is an individual terminal of the network.

Building a network that combines databases, terminals and main control centers with the help of firewall networks can maximize the potential of firewall networks.

Guilliman nodded. "The emergence of the Warp Firewall has connected me to the people of the entire Empire, forming a huge mental network. The potential of this mental network is limitless. I want to further develop it, enhance people's sense of belonging to the Empire, and make the two more closely connected."

If you want to promote the development of the firewall network era, a fool-proof terminal operating system is essential.

The emergence of the Internet era is due to the popularity of operating systems.

Without a fool-proof operating system, computers would always be toys for a few people, would never become popular, and there would be no so-called information age.

"It is simply a genius idea. Your Majesty, your talent really makes me ashamed of myself." Ferrus used all kinds of praises without hesitation to boast about Guilliman's greatness.

He would never be able to think of such a plan.

Humanity can enter a new information age with the help of a network of subspace protection walls.

Knowledge will be popularized and the exchange of various information will be much more convenient.

Ordinary people can also participate in this great era.

Take advantage of this new information age and sweep the ignorant gods into the trash.

Just as humans once abandoned those useless religions.

"You are exaggerating, Ferrus." Guilliman shook his head and said, "Without your assistance, I would never be able to complete such a plan. The Warp Firewall and the Microcosm Project will be the top priorities in the future, related to the salvation and future of mankind. You will not refuse my appointment, right?"

Ferrus bowed respectfully and said, "It is my honor to serve you, Your Majesty."

"It is an honor to have your help, Ferrus." Guilliman said with a smile.

The Microcosm Project is related to humanity’s escape route after failure.

The Empire Personal System is related to the upcoming reforms of the Empire.

Any perfect system ultimately cannot avoid people's execution.

In the end, any perfect system will slowly decay due to people's desires.

The Council of High Lords created by the Emperor and Malcador took full account of the balance of power on each side.

It can be said to be a fairly perfect system.

However, when Guilliman awoke, this perfect system had been corrupted by a complex chain of interests.

People are so caught up in internal strife that they ignore the dangers that are about to destroy their race.

The authoritarian democracy currently in operation has allowed humanity to unite, unleashing unprecedented productivity and combat power, allowing humanity to sweep across the starry sky.

But once Guilliman leaves, this system could become a nightmare for the Empire.

Absolute dictatorship and military control.

Once an ambitious person gains control of this power, the entire empire will usher in an unprecedented era of bloodshed and repression.

There must be another force to check and balance this absolute dictatorship.

Guilliman placed his hopes on the Imperial personal system.

If this project is successful, everyone in the empire will have their own personal system and panel, just like in the game.

These personal systems and templates are connected through the subspace firewall, allowing them to learn knowledge, share various things, and prevent the rise of family or certain groups of power.

Ferrus did not refuse Guilliman's offer.

I gladly accepted this task.

He swore to his brother that he would complete both projects as quickly as possible.

Guilliman handed Ferrus the appointment documents that had been prepared long ago.

"I believe you, Ferrus."

... ... .

... ... ... ... ... .

When Ferrus emerged from the microcosm, Guilliman was still sitting on the mechanical throne.

The Guilliman in the microcosm is just his projection.

After connecting with all of humanity, Guilliman's power increased dramatically, getting closer to being omniscient and omnipotent.

According to the Eldar Great Prophet Eldrar, Guilliman, who has accepted all human emotions, has the qualifications to become a god.

Emotions are powerful, the most powerful force in the galaxy.

The corrupt emotions of the Eldar gave rise to that terrible evil god.

What will Guilliman become with the blessing of the entire human race

The Emperor was only one step away from becoming the God-Emperor, before he had gained all the emotional power of his entire race.

Guilliman is in control of everything, and his power will be more terrifying than that of the Emperor.

Ferrus bowed respectfully to his brother, then left with the appointment documents.

Guilliman watched him go.

Arrangements had already been made for several loyal Primarchs, except for Russ.

As the Emperor's former executioner, Guilliman had other plans for Russ.

Not every universe is willing to coexist in harmony with the Empire.

He needed a knife to cut off those forces that were unwilling to submit to the empire.

I was just about to give an order to summon Russ and entrust him with the creation of a new execution force.

Another voice interrupted Guilliman's arrangements.

The Great Sage of Domination, Kohl, sent a message.

The message was brief, but it made Guilliman smile.

"Sir, the time weapon you requested has a prototype."

Time is a technology beyond imagination for lower civilizations.

It is invisible and intangible, but it is the key to the development of the universe.

Guilliman needs this weapon to fight against Necron Overlords such as the Silent King.

It is very likely that those guys know the secrets of time and can turn back time to make the future go the way they want.

By then, time weapons will most likely be used in cross-universe battles.

There are many tough guys in DC. If the Empire is not strong enough, it would be humiliating for itself to enter the DC universe.

"Come here, Cawl, and show me the power of those weapons." Guilliman said to the reporting hovering skull, asking Cawl to come directly to see him.
