“We choose to embrace psychic power and reach for a more glorious universe.”
When the Ming came into contact with the Warp, a hole was torn in the fabric of reality.
The emperor took the Golden Throne and became its sacrifice. The land was thrown into chaos, and the flame of civilization nearly went out.
After I ascended the throne, the world was redeemed from ignorance and chaos. All living things beneath the frosty skies could vie for freedom!
In the southeast, the School of Mind spread like wildfire, and psychics flourished. They cried out: “The mind is mightier than matter! Transcend the mortal and become a sage, shed your body and ascend to immortality!”
A minotaur missionary from Christendom, dressed in a Confucian robe and wearing an official's hat, held a cross in his hand. “The false emperor's invasion is like a raging flood, unstoppable...”
Confucian scholars on the Nine Frontiers raised the sword of benevolence and righteousness, smashing all things supernatural to pieces. “Sacrifice blood to the Scholarly God! Offer skulls to the Confucian throne!”
The Chosen of Khorne, Nurhaci, raised his arms and shouted: “The Golden Throne is occupied by a false emperor. Why shouldn't I, Nurhaci, sit upon it? Slay the false emperor! Burn the stars!”
The utterly loyal chieftain of the centaur tribes, Anda Khan, Prince of Shunyi, laughed wildly as he led the charge. “Let the Emperor's will shine like a torch and annihilate the demons!”
The regent, Zhang Juzheng, looked up at the black-sun treasure ship overhead. Holding his ivory tablet, he declared solemnly: “First, the Celestial Empire has no secrets. Second, the Great Ming shall endure forever!”
Qi Jiguang, commander of the Empire's 800,000 imperial guards, knelt on one knee and saluted. “Loyalty!”
The holy Emperor linked every person of the Great Ming.
The Most Venerable Sage cast a look of approval, while the Long-Lived Emperor rejoiced.
Zhu Yijun rose from his golden throne, surveyed his assembled ministers, and clapped his hands with a laugh. “The court is filled with upright men, utterly loyal!”
Prequel
The first year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty Warp Descends— Our Taoist emperor, Jiajing, keenly perceived the changes in the world. During his daily meditation, Jiajing discovered four powerful and muscular men in the subspace! A crimson glow! Khorne, the eight-pointed star, symbolizing violence and bloodshed. Purple light! A six-pointed star, symbolizing desire and lustful lust.
The Emperor, leader of the Imperium of Man, was the most powerful psyker within the Imperium and one of the few immortals in the Imperium. Originating in the ancient times of Terra, he is described in the fan fiction "If the Emperor Had a Speaking Device" as having existed since 50,000 years ago.
Interesting, very interesting, fun, truly fun. Did the author wash their brain in a washing machine? It's really impressive how well they've stitched things together; it's both abstract and realistic, truly insane. Awesome! (Voice cracks)
Chaos, also known by its servants as "Primal Truth" or "Primal Obliterator," is considered the Imperium's greatest enemy. It is generally believed to be a malevolent metaphysical force within human consciousness, composed of intelligent entities projected by the collective human consciousness into the warp as an evil force.
Heavens above! Ancestors, can you hear me?! I have defeated Huang Taiji! I have utterly defeated Huang Taiji (Nosca)! Hahahaha! I have defeated them all! The Ming Dynasty (Zhendan) is invincible!
I haven't watched it yet. I'm just worried that with such an amazing introduction, can you really write a good one? 😐
Post-viewing thoughts
P. S.: This is just my personal opinion, written for the author's benefit. If the author doesn't like it, please delete it. When I first saw this book, I thought it was quite good, the setting was good, and the writing was good, so why were the results so bad? But as the release date approached, I started to feel tired and didn't want to read any further.
It's a good read. If you're tired of the usual Ming Dynasty novels, you can check this out, but you'll need some understanding of Warhammer fiction. This book is a Ming Dynasty story combined with Warhammer fiction, and the weaving is pretty good.
I feel the author's writing is a bit disjointed. One minute it's set in the Ming Dynasty, and the next it sounds like a translated poem. Like in this passage, a simple "Your subject... Obeys the decree!" Would have been enough; "as you wish" sounds very awkward! No matter how you piece it together, it's still telling a story through the lens of the Ming Dynasty, so it would be better to maintain a consistent writing style!
Psychic ascension feels less than fifty years of human life; it's like a dream, like an illusion. This is the confidence that Madoka Kaname instilled in me.
