Chapter 625: The Second Empire Gathered

"What? You're my father?"

Guilliman opened his eyes wide, staring at the tall figure in front of him in disbelief.

Although he was full of surprise, he did not let down his guard. He held the sword tightly in his hand, and his cold eyes never left the man in front of him.

"Look here, Guilliman..."

Yang Cheng raised his palm slightly, and a golden spiritual energy instantly poured into Guilliman's mind.

The long-forgotten memories came flooding back like a tide, and Guilliman's thoughts were brought back to the past.

He recalled why he came to Macragge, the mystery of his origins, and the great responsibility he shouldered.

All the past fragments are like puzzle pieces, gradually being pieced together.

"Child, you should go home..."

Euden stood aside, looking quietly at Guilliman who was standing there, and spoke softly.

Just now, when Yang Cheng appeared, Yuton had already learned the truth of the matter from him.

His child was one of the 21 Primarchs created by Yang Cheng, numbered No. 13. He came to this galaxy for unknown reasons and was adopted by them.

"It's time to go, Guilliman, the Empire still needs you." Yang Cheng looked at Guilliman standing in front of him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"Fuck! The Second Empire has arrived. The people under my command are just Angron, Fulgrim, and Angel, but now there's finally another king of explosive soldiers!"

Yang Cheng looked at Guilliman, who was dressed like a space Roman, and then took a deep breath and took the initiative to extend his hand to show goodwill to Guilliman.

"I am willing to go with you, but I will never recognize you as my father." Guilliman's voice was calm and firm. His eyes looked directly at Yang Cheng, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

"I may call you father, but to me, I only have one father, and that is Connor Guilliman." After saying that, Guilliman put down the sword in his hand and slowly put the weapon into his scabbard.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about Guilliman's attitude.

He nodded to show his understanding: "Of course, it's up to you to decide. However, I want to tell you that whether you admit it or not, I am your father. This is an unchangeable fact."

After saying that, Yang Cheng turned and walked towards Val, and began to look at the young man carefully.

"He is my friend, my father." Guilliman looked at the curious Yang Cheng and explained quickly. Hearing this, Yang Cheng stopped and turned to look at Guilliman, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Is there such a person in the novel? Or is it the butterfly effect caused by myself?" Yang Cheng thought to himself.

"Sir, my name is Vala, and I salute you." Val bowed slightly, with a respectful expression on his face, and spoke carefully.

Yang Cheng smiled and signaled to Val that there was no need to be polite.

He looked Vaul up and down, then asked, "Are you a friend of Guilliman? Looks like a good person..."

As Yang Cheng spoke, he placed one hand on Wala's shoulder. His palm was covered with a layer of faint golden light. This light seemed to have life and transformed into golden streams of spiritual energy, like nimble little snakes, which slowly emerged from Yang Cheng's hand and entered Wala's body.

"You had some illness in your body, but it's fine now."

Yang Cheng clapped his hands in satisfaction, then turned to look at Guilliman on the side.

"I...I don't feel any pain anymore?"

Val felt his body with surprise. The fatigue that had been unbearable for him had disappeared, and his body was no longer sore, as if he had been reborn.

"My body..."

"It's okay, just live your life well." Yang Cheng patted Val's shoulder gently, his tone calm and gentle. After that, he turned and walked towards Guilliman, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

"It's time to go, Guilliman." Yang Cheng turned around and shouted to Guilliman with a smile.

"Father, I would like to take him with me if I can."

Guilliman looked at Vala on the side, then spoke to Yang Cheng.

"Really? Then take it with you."

Yang Cheng glanced at Vala, then responded to Guilliman beside him.

At this time, in the planet's orbit, a huge Queen of Glory-class battleship was slowly docking.

The Macragge's Glory was constructed during the Great Crusade, and served as the flagship of the 13th Legion's Primarch, Roboute Guilliman.

This massive vessel was 26 kilometers long and, even in the dark days of M42, was still one of the largest warships in the Imperium.

In the run-up to the Battle of Calth, Macragge's Glory was Guilliman's headquarters, commanding the Legion's deployment to the Verdean System.

During the Battle of Calth, Macragge's Glory played a key role, acting as headquarters for Guilliman and the Ultramarines, coordinating the battle in orbit and on the surface.

However, the unexpected Daemon invasion brought heavy losses to the fleet, with the main bridge blown up and Guilliman thrown into space and lost contact.

Soon after, a large number of demons boarded the ship, and several warships of the Word Bearers also attempted to board the Macragge's Glory.

However, the Ultramarines were eventually able to clear the ship, and Guilliman was rescued back aboard the flagship.

When Guilliman emerged from his stasis, the Macragge's Glory once again served as the Primarch's flagship.

After this, he led a huge fleet of Ultramarines towards the solar system, with Terra as his target.

However, they were chased and blocked by the forces of Chaos on the way and eventually got into trouble.

To make matters worse, they were captured by the Red Corsairs and imprisoned within the Eye of Terror.

Fortunately, prior to the Indomitus Crusade, the Imperium managed to recapture the Macragge's Glory, and used it as Guilliman's flagship for the Indomitus Crusade.

Before joining the expedition, Macragge's Glory was sent to the Iron Ring Shipyards on Mars for an extensive refit.

The command deck was reconfigured to accommodate new tactical requirements.

Today, every device aboard Macragge's Glory bears Cawl's stamp, with new machines and never-before-seen configurations of older equipment replacing those that have been in use for centuries.

These improvements have given Macragge's Glory new life, making it a more powerful and advanced warship.

On the battleships, 250,000 Space Marines from the Ultramarines Legion were lined up in neat rows. The captains of each company and the chapter masters of each regiment had already lined up.

Standing at the forefront of the phalanx were Guilliman's Primarch Guard, the Ever-Victorious.

There are hundreds of them, and each of them is equipped with Terminator armor. The members of the Ever-Victorious Army are the best fighters in the legion, and many of them are future officers of the Ultramarines.
