In the 40th millennium, only war is eternal. The Imperium of Mankind lingers in the silence of the Golden Throne, and the radiance of the Emperor's will can only illuminate a corner of the endless darkness. Here, aliens, heretics and chaos are curses engraved on every soul, and hope is a scarcer resource than gene seeds.
Zhou Xuan, an inorganic servant carrying the soul of the 21st century, woke up in this desperate steel purgatory. What came with him was a miracle called "Civilization Fire".
When the national religion used faith to fight against the whispers of subspace, he used "Tao follows nature" to build a pure heart barrier;
When the Mechanicus prays to the machine soul, he uses "investigation of things to gain knowledge" to analyze the ultimate truth of all things;
When the Astartes used explosive bombs to purify heretics, he used the concept of "the divine farmer tastes a hundred herbs" to analyze the plague of Nurgle.
He started as a mining slave and built the first "pure land" for the abandoned people in the dirtiest corner of the empire. What he brought was not the gospel of the God Emperor, but the fire of "humanity" and "self-improvement" originating from the ancient East.
However, his rise stirred up the undercurrents of the galaxy. The Tribunal listed him as the highest heretic, and the Chaos Evil God cast a greedy glance at him. On the golden throne that had been silent for thousands of years, those burning eyes crossed the galaxy for the first time, staring at this... Variable that was trying to use "benevolence" and "reason" to correct the fate of mankind.
This is an untrodden road to salvation. Ahead lay the Emperor's unfinished ideals, the whispers of Chaos, and the weight of the entire Dark Age.
Let's see how this spark from the east burns across the galaxy and opens an era of redemption for mortals.
