Kotoamatsukami Controls Humanity, Guilliman Awakens

"Gather all the humans together. I have orders to convey to them; they are about to become our people," Rhodes said.

The Orc War boss nodded, immediately turned and left, then arranged for all the human prisoners to come over. This time, the Orcs had saved a large number of Astronauts, and they told the Astronauts the whole story.

"How could this happen? We were loyal and fought bravely, yet we have been betrayed like this."

"Everything in the Empire is sacrifice, sacrifice, endless sacrifice. What's the point? We've been sacrificing for over 1 years. How many of our predecessors in the Star Guard have fallen on the battlefield?"

"We fought for those high lords, we fought for the emperor, but what have we gained?" A New Territories Army soldier knelt on the ground, clutching his helmet, and angrily pounded the ground as he spoke.

The truth they suspected was finally confirmed: the Imperial high command did indeed intend to abandon them, using them as cannon fodder to die with the explosion of the gas giant.

These Star Guardians could accept death, could accept sacrificing themselves for the Empire, and returning their souls to the Golden Throne.

But is such a meaningless sacrifice truly meaningful? Ten thousand years have passed!

Ten thousand years have passed since the emperor sat on the golden throne. Has the empire improved at all?

No, this empire is even more decadent and worse. Ten thousand years later, their equipment is almost the same as that of the Great Expedition ten thousand years ago.

They were all laser guns, and even the Space Marines hadn't updated or iterated their weapons in over 1 years.

The most glorious period for mankind was the Golden Age, when the Titans were just large logging machines!

"What will happen to us? We've become prisoners of these orcs! Will we become slaves?" a Star Guardian soldier asked.

According to many of the older generation, being captured by the orcs meant being forced to do hard labor and also to entertain the orcs in various ways.

"At least we're still alive, aren't we? And I've also noticed that those orc heroes seem very friendly, at least not like the orcs in the rumors," a man who looked like an officer said.

"I know! Our fate is no longer in our own hands."

Just as a large group of newly recruited soldiers were discussing the future, Rhodes also arrived at the square.

All the Star Guardians below the planet were gathered here, including some human residents who hadn't had time to evacuate before, totaling tens of millions of people.

Rhodes floated slowly in the air and released one of the Ten-Tails from his private space.

Rhodes can now mass-produce Ten-Tails.

However, the special fruit produced by the Ten-Tails is no longer of much use to Rhodes, or rather, the Stone Tail's racial limit is limited, since Rhodes is almost at the level of a multiverse god.

However, this fruit was useless to him, but it was of great use to his women, so Rhodes still cultivated some planet-level Ten-Tails.

This time it came in handy. Rhodes didn't intend to give these humans a long and earnest lecture or make any grand pronouncements, because he wasn't good at those things.

Therefore, he planned to use the simplest method: the divine realm would descend, and then the Infinite Tsukuyomi would be activated to directly alter the memories of all humans on the planet.

"The Divine Tree Realm has descended!" With Rhodes's manipulation, the giant stone tail transformed into its true form, a colossal tree that covered the entire planet.

At this moment, all the humans and orcs looked at this behemoth, somewhat at a loss. This was just too huge! It was like a giant tree growing on the surface of a planet.

Standing at a height of tens of thousands of meters, this enormous divine tree can be clearly seen from the entire planet, unless one is on the other side.

"By the Emperor, what... what is this thing?"

"What does this orcish demon king want to do? What... what does he want to do to us?" Some human civilians began to panic.

"I heard that the orc race grows out of the ground, just like those mushrooms."

"This thing... it's not trying to turn us into fertilizer to grow new orcs, is it?" a Star Guardian stammered.

"Idiot, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. The orcs are not picky about nutrition at all. In fact, as long as this planet is exposed to starlight and can photosynthesize, the orcs' spore fungi can grow." A Star Guardian said.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi, activate!" At this moment, Rhodes' eyes transformed into the Rinne Sharingan.

With the help of the divine tree and his own divine universe, he didn't even need a satellite as a projection; he spread directly to the entire planet and instantly controlled all the humans on the planet.

At this moment, all the humans were in a daze, their eyes turned into the Rinne Sharingan like Rhodes', their gazes were blank, and some even drooled from the corners of their mouths, looking like idiots.

After taking control of all humanity, Rhode immediately activated another Sharingan eye technique, Kotoamatsukami.

This technique was Uchiha Shisui's exclusive eye technique, but now Rhode can use all the Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques of the Shisui clan with ease.

After using this technique, one can easily modify everyone's perceptions. This is not just a modification of memory, but a true modification of cognition.

It can completely overturn your worldview, your values, and your perceptions. You may still have all your previous memories, but the things you used to think were right will no longer be your mission from now on.

Among these Star Guardians are a large number of loyalists of the Emperor, after all, they have ruled the human empire for ten thousand years, even if they have been sitting on that golden toilet the whole time.

The emperors never loosened their control over humanity in the slightest, and the entire human race has worshipped their emperors and gods for thousands of years.

This has led to the Emperor developing countless personalities, and he is even close to undergoing a subspace godhood ritual.

Therefore, verbal preaching cannot change the beliefs of these people, or rather, it cannot change everyone. But activating the Kotoamatsukami technique is different. I don't play any tricks with you. I directly modify your memories and cognition.

Baldr made only one change to these surviving humans: he replaced their emperor with himself and replaced the orc race with a friendly race.

Soon, Rhodes' memories and cognition were modified and all of humanity returned to normal.

However, at this moment, their perceptions, values, and worldview have completely changed.

"From today onwards, you will live on the planet Hades. I will use some strange powers to modify the environment of some planets, making this star system full of habitable space," Rhodes said.

"Long live Lord Rhodes! Long live Lord Rhodes! Long live the new emperor!" All the humans erupted in joyous cheers.

In this incredibly cruel galaxy, in this galaxy teeming with all sorts of monsters and demons, simply being alive is a blessing.

What else could they possibly want?

Seeing the humans' performance, Rhodes nodded in satisfaction.

"Great Demon King, if you keep these humans, they will take our land. We need fresh land to grow more orc boys," a war boss said.

"The orcs will share half of this star system, while the humans will share the other half. Furthermore, I will modify the ecological environment of some planets, and we will have ample land to grow new orc boys," Rhodes said.

Just kidding, the Orcish population is producing units at an incredibly fast rate. If left unchecked, they will multiply like locusts, and their numbers could be as terrifying as those of the Terran Zerg.

Once the entire planet becomes a green-skinned world, this explosive growth will also change the planet's environment.

The spores and fungi emitted by the orcs unconsciously will continuously grow new companions. The orcs do not appear out of thin air. In addition to absorbing stellar energy for photosynthesis, they also absorb the power from the soil.

Therefore, the entire planet will rapidly become desertified. This is the case with the Orcish Octarius Empire, after the entire planet became inhabited by Orcish people.

Desertification began there, so Rhodes wanted to pursue a path of sustainable development. To put it bluntly, the orc race is still a war-loving race!

Once I become an absolute god, perhaps I can modify and adjust the genetic sequence of the orc race to make them the same as the orcs of Azeroth.

Otherwise, the orc race would be really difficult to manage.

Next, Rhodes took his newly acquired adult stone enclosure and began to modify the environment on various planets.

The power of the microcosm enveloped the entire planet, and then bestowed blessings upon it.

After bestowing life energy, the power of the wooden shield is used to make the entire planet covered with trees. When these trees die, they produce a large amount of organic matter, making the nearby land fertile.

If this planet has no water, Rhode will immediately unleash the Water Release: Ocean Technique, creating a vast ocean for the entire planet.

All planetary terraforming standards are based on Earth, which is the sacred Terra of this world.

After trees, land, and oceans form on a barren and desolate planet, an atmosphere will automatically form. Rhodes will also use his divine cosmos to ignite the cores of some dead planets, allowing them to emit an incomparably powerful magnetic field again.

For every planet he terraformed, Rhodes would settle a portion of the human population there. The human population actually reproduced very quickly, although not as quickly as the war-torn Tyranids and Orcs. However, compared to some other races in the galaxy, humans were practically a natural planetary virus.

In the Hades Galaxy, more than a dozen inland planets were transformed by Rhodes, who used the power of his cosmos to drag them into the star belt of the first star system.

Even some of the moons surrounding gas giants were not spared, and Rhodes was transformed into smaller versions of planets.

Rhodes spent a month transforming these planets, and after completing all that, he immediately went to the Bar system.

At this time, only some remnants of the army remained in the Bal system, and there was not even a suitable commander. Rhodes did not stand on ceremony with these humans and directly dropped the divine tree on each planet he arrived at.

Then he personally descended to this planet, activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique and the Kotoamatsukami technique, and altered the cognition of all humans on the entire planet.

In just a few months, Rhodes completely dominated two star systems, the Bar star system and the Hades star system, and also modified some planets in the Bar star system.

Half the planet belongs to humans, and the other half to orcs. Strict controls are in place when orcs cultivate their populations; for example, a piece of land must rest for several decades before orc boys can be planted again.

During this period, no member of any orc race is allowed to set foot here, because both the elves and the orcs actually carry a large number of special fungal cells.

Rhodes imposed a twelve-hour workday on all humans, with only half a day off each weekend, and no holidays whatsoever.

However, these humans, if they work hard, will not be exploited, nor will they need to pay any heavy taxes.

For humankind, this was practically paradise.

It's important to know that in some industrial, agricultural, nested, and casting worlds, the working intensity of ordinary humans is very high. Working 14 or even 20 hours a day is commonplace.

When some workers are unable to work, they are even turned into various machine servants by the mechanical engineers and then permanently welded to work on the assembly line.

They work 12 hours a day, have 12 hours of rest time, and have 2 half-days off per week.

What the 3k Terrans saw as a labor contract was, to these 41k-era humans, the ultimate in welfare.

Just focus on doing your own job well!

They can eat their fill, dress warmly, and don't even have to go to the front lines to fight.

Rhodes would even provide some of the New Territories soldiers with enhancements and modifications, using special pills he made himself, and the Extremis virus to transform them into a variant of Space Marines that had been created in the StarCraft universe.

These Space Marines are generally stronger than the Space Marines of this world.

These Space Marines are primarily responsible for maintaining security for two weeks at a time; they are not needed for external warfare, as the Orcish races would eagerly take on that role.

After Rhodes took control of the humans in the two star systems, he immediately ordered a large Orc fleet, along with some human auxiliary forces, to go to the outer reaches of the Hades system to resist the Tyranids.

In fact, with Rhodes' current strength, he could completely destroy all of Leviathan's reserves, but he did not choose to do so.

Because the orc race needs an opponent for training and fighting; without a war opponent, the orc race will go mad or even insane.

Some orc warlords might even disobey orders and directly attack human planets within their territories—this is entirely possible. (In the original story, the human empire captured an orc boy and imprisoned him.)

As a result, in just a few months, the orc boy's appearance changed. He became a very fat man in the eyes of humans, then lost his appetite, became listless, and eventually died.

To put it bluntly, this race is a weapon of war, not a product of natural evolution. If they have no mission, then living is a waste of resources. The ancient races likely added some hidden features to the orcish race to quickly eliminate them after the war.

These insects can be used by the orc army for training, and their dead bodies can provide nutrients to the peripheral planets, making their land more fertile.

This would then create a sustainable resource, with human auxiliary soldiers responsible for transporting the orcs there.

Then, clean up the battlefield, transform the insect corpses into the most reliable fertilizer organic matter, and bring them back to various planets to make the land more fertile.

Time flew by, and on this day, a major event erupted throughout the universe: a terrifying surge of void energy tore apart the entire Milky Way.

This powerful extradimensional energy even extinguished the Star Torch of the Holy Terra Empire for a period of time, plunging the entire human empire into panic.

Vast numbers of star sectors and planets have lost contact, and the human Empire has no idea what happened.

Dark Marshal Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade was a success. After destroying Cartier Fortress, the Great Rift tore the entire galaxy apart.

These planets, which have lost contact with the Empire, are known as the Empire's Dark Side.

Meanwhile, the Bar Star System and the Mingfu Star System are also located in the dark side of the Empire. After this terrifying flow of alien space arrived in the Mingfu Star System and the Bar Star System, it actually generated a peculiar fluctuation of time energy, which slowed down the flow of time here.

Rhodes could clearly sense that time outside was passing at a rate of years, while time here was passing at a rate of days.

At this time, drastic changes also occurred in the outside world, almost at the same time that Chaos Warmaster Abaddon tore the entire galaxy apart.

After slumbering for ten thousand years, Robert Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, also awoke from his slumber.

With the help of Eldar assassins and buffaloes, and the machine called the Great Prophet, Caulberisalius.

Primarch Robert Guilliman donned the Armor of Fate and was successfully resurrected. In the same year, he launched the Terra Expedition, leading his army to Holy Terra, where a war broke out between his factions.

He successfully seized the position of Imperial Regent and launched the Unyielding Expedition.

Several decades have passed in the human empire, but only a few days have passed in the time flow of the Bar Star System.

A massive human fleet, led by Primarch Regent Robert Guilliman, slowly sailed towards the Baal system. (End of Chapter)
