Chapter 1 - chapter 1

Our journey is to the sea of stars!

All great works require sacrifice. Other civilizations in the galaxy may not understand us, but they must obey!

[The will of Mankind is stronger than matter itself!]

We are transcendental!

[As long as we are willing to bring about His end, 50 years is enough!]

For too long, the Astronomican's light has illuminated our enemies. But they will never see this light of enlightenment again!

[They always have another choice. That is to die!]

We stand at the pinnacle of divinity. The etheric engine is complete, and the boundless energy of the Immaterium is within our reach. Destiny awaits. Should we start the engine? Let's do it!

"Shen Yuan, I came to the Void Realm to ask you to repay my debt in advance!"

Time passed by minute by minute...

In a warmly decorated small bedroom in a brightly lit residential area, a handsome young man wearing headphones sits in front of a computer, enjoying his hard-earned leisure time.

From morning till now, he has been conquering the galaxy in the name of the God-Emperor and never gets tired of it.

"I haven't played for almost a year, so I'm really rusty... I'm starting over. I heard some big guys made some Astra Militarum overhaul mods recently? I have to try it."

Dylan Anderson stretched his limbs and immersed himself in the game on the screen in front of him again.

A Warhammer 40K grand strategy game — one that's devoted to reclaiming lost Forge Worlds, obsessed with purging the heretic, mutant, and xenos, and filled with relentless campaigns across the galaxy...

It emphasizes unwavering faith in the Emperor, cold military doctrine, and uncompromising loyalty. It's a brutal 18+ grimdark experience, tailor-made to purge the stress accumulated from daily life.

As for the whispers of Exterminatus protocols, or using lobotomized servitors recycled from condemned prisoners... these are simply efficient tools of the Imperium. Hardly worth losing sleep over.

As a new-age office worker who just graduated last year, Dylan Anderson worked hard for more than half a year. Finally, after the project was successfully completed, he got a 7-day vacation.

Even though dark circles covered his eyes, he still couldn't resist rewarding himself so wantonly in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, he yawned sleepily, rubbed his dry eyes, and twisted his hand on the mouse left and right, stretching it towards his head.

"It's already 10 o'clock... it's almost time to rest."

Looking up at the wall clock, Dylan Anderson dragged his stiff body to the balcony of the rental house.

He felt the night breeze on his face and looked at the colorful night scene of the city, and couldn't help but think of his parents who were thousands of miles away at home.

"I don't have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year this year, so I should be able to go home then, right?" Dylan Anderson murmured softly.

As a sad biomedical experimental dog, the work in the research institute has always been tedious and tiring, especially the project he just completed, which is the research and development of a certain virus blocker, which made his hairline move up nearly one centimeter!

After washing up, Dylan Anderson returned to his bedroom and planned to watch some videos before going to sleep...

——Beep——beep——beep!

Just when he finished watching a few videos and was charging his phone, his phone rang?

Dylan Anderson looked at the screen in fear, praying in his heart: "Please don't let it be the director! Please don't let it be the director..."

If the director called him, there would be no need to think about it, because he must be asking him to end his vacation early and go back to work overtime.

As a result, Dylan Anderson found out that the call was from his roommate during graduate school and current colleague.

Coincidentally, his three roommates during graduate school are now his colleagues, and they are even working on the same project, so the four of them have exactly the same holidays.

Dylan Anderson breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with Old Liu? He's still not sleeping so late. Does he want to die suddenly or something?" Dylan answered the phone and teased.

——'Ah Lin, what were you doing today? Everyone has a week off, why didn't you come to chat and play activities with us?'

"Activities... Shit, I forgot. I've been conquering the galaxy for the Emperor all day!"

——'Come on, during the event, if you execute 6 heretics, you get a set of very nice Chapter-exclusive skins. Without you, I can't carry those two. They're so tired of purging xenos all day.'

"Here I come!" Dylan Anderson shook off his tiredness and jumped out of the bed excitedly.

Rest? No, there is no such thing. When there is a game activity you like, and a few friends are playing together, sleepiness will no longer disturb you.

Sitting back in front of the computer, Dylan opened QQ, clicked on a group chat, and directly joined the group voice.

The waning moon fell obliquely through the clouds, and the time on the wall clock pointed to three in the morning.

Dylan said while holding the headphones: "I have to pee urgently. Wait a few minutes, I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to open the door. Just as Dylan touched the door handle...

[We step into the void, and nature and man become one.]
