Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 887
Chapter 880, Is this a dream?
Is this… a dream?
Gu Jing quickly realized this.
The bizarre colors, the ever-changing surroundings, from bustling streets to desolate fields, from forest to desert…
this was definitely not a scene found in the normal world.
But this wasn’t just a dream.
If it were just a simple lucid dream, how could he be so close to the Warp?
It was almost as if he were already in the Warp.
Honestly, this scene only made him a little nervous, but not overly intense.
The main reason was that he had encountered similar things quite often since he was a child.
Thanks to his “good father,” from the moment he was born, there were countless Warp beings who took an interest in him and sought to get close to him
in various ways. Their methods of approaching him
were, of course, not something that the young Gu Jing could handle on his own.
However, his father protected him well.
Those demons and monsters would only dare to make tentative advances, but if they dared to extend their claws even a little closer, they would be mercilessly crushed by thunder.
It wasn’t until Gu Hang personally captured the most daring Tzeentch, a monstrous demon king who believed his methods were the most powerful, cleansed it of all its Warp essence, and gave it to his son as an external intelligent assistant that the numerous intrusions finally subsided.
Especially after Gu Jing reached adulthood, not only did he display exceptional psychic talent, but he also became more adept at using his intelligent assistant, becoming able to handle ordinary intrusions himself.
It had been a long time since he had seen such tactics.
Suddenly, he felt a little nostalgic.
After briefly admiring the ever-changing scenery before him, he decided he couldn’t continue playing along.
Psychic energy surged, and a chirping being with wings, a bird’s head, a human body, and a staff in hand materialized.
Amidst the surge of power, Gu Jing searched the spiritual dimension he was in, searching for the entity behind it that had drawn him in.
“Hmm?”
After a moment, Gu Jing hummed softly, finding something interesting.
Unlike the subdimensional opponents he had faced before, those attacking him this time seemed to possess some special abilities, quite hidden, making it difficult to locate them at first glance.
However, as long as they existed, there would be traces.
He had already found them.
If he couldn’t find them by following the traces, it didn’t matter; as long as he could strike them, he would be fine.
He stretched out his hand into the air, and the birdman, following closely behind him, synchronized his movements. A translucent blue thread was snatched from mid-air, landing in both hands simultaneously. It stretched out into the illusory sky and disappeared into the horizon.
But as long as they could catch it, it would be enough.
A bolt of lightning appeared simultaneously from the hands of Gu Jing and the birdman, extending along the thread into the distance.
A moment later, the entire space began to tremble.
Clearly, the being struck by the lightning was not feeling well.
Gu Jing smiled, ready for another, even more brutal blow.
“Please… please wait.” A cold female voice echoed through the space.
Gu Jing ignored her. “
You told me to wait, so I’ll wait?”
Then the shock continued!
Another round of shocks.
The master of this space finally couldn’t hold back.
In the air before Gu Jing, a graceful human figure quickly emerged.
She panted slightly, stumbling slightly upon appearing.
Gu Jing noticed her pointed ears.
Eldar?
But not a Dark Eldar.
Her skin wasn’t a grayish-white or purple-black, but a smooth, pale-white, and her long, light-gold hair had a shimmering quality.
Her attire was also distinct from the Dark Eldar style.
While full of alien influences, she wasn’t repulsive.
But she was still a race of aliens who should be eliminated.
Furthermore, who could be sure that this alien form wasn’t just a deception concocted by some treacherous Warp entity?
Although Gu Jing didn’t detect any hint of deception in her, nor did he sense the usual traces of Warp demons, he knew the Warp well enough to be gullible.
Seeing that she seemed about to say something, the safest bet was to prevent her from speaking.
The power of thunder continued to flow along the silk thread in his hand, extending towards her.
As if wearing an electric collar, the female Eldar who had just emerged was numbed by the shock.
“Please… please… please wait… no…” she struggled to speak.
But Gu Jing wouldn’t give her a second.
He could already feel the entire space becoming unstable under his constant electric shocks.
With just a little more effort, he could escape this strange dreamland so close to the Warp that he had been inexplicably dragged into.
He’d have to leave first before investigating.
Regardless of their motives, suddenly dragging him in was hardly polite.
However, Gu Jing didn’t fully achieve his goal. Just
as the entire illusory space was turbulent and on the verge of collapse, a missile flew from the sky.
The Lord of Change’s wings suddenly spread, shielding Gu Jing within.
After the explosion, the wings unfurled, and Gu Jing saw that the Eldar woman had been blown away in the previous blast, half lying on the ground, struggling to get up.
Not far away, a figure dressed in a red robe with a gear-shaped sun symbol marked their origins from Mars.
Gu Jing, a man of profound knowledge, recognized the details of this Mechanicus’s attire, revealing its owner as a Grand Magus of the Martian Cult. He
then took in the face, the numerous mechanical modifications emanating from his red robe, and the long staff composed of countless gears in his hand… these things meshed with the many images he had learned in his memory.
Wasn’t this Grand Magus Cawl of the Martian Mechanicus?
It seemed as if Grand Magus Cawl and his father had a past friendship and had provided assistance to the Alliance.
“Please wait, Mr. Gu Jing, allow us a few more minutes of communication.”
Gu Jing gathered his strength slightly, intending to listen.
Meanwhile, the staff of the Lord of Change behind him flickered with light.
Gu Jing was fully prepared.
He was focusing on three things simultaneously: first, he was carefully evaluating whether these people before him were real or a new conspiracy orchestrated by some Warp entity.
Secondly, he was trying to further control this space that was on the verge of collapse from his psychic electric shock, so that he could turn the tables.
Thirdly, he was preparing to listen to what these two people had to say.
