Ding.
A crisp sound rang out in everyone's mind nearby.
Guilliman saw the originally black pocket watch in Yang Tao's hand turn golden, and the long hand inside began to spin wildly backward.
He felt something changing, but he couldn't grasp it.
Just as Guilliman was about to ask Yang Tao, he heard Yang Tao mumble, "Too slow…"
The Watch of Flowing Time can freely accelerate or decelerate time, but it has no effect on living beings.
The Watch of Flowing Time can accelerate or decelerate time by 13 times.
That is to say, currently, the time near the Webway is reversing from 1.85 hours a day.
"What's slow?"
"Time."
Unfortunately, the Acceleration Torch cannot accelerate the Watch of Flowing Time when it is held in hand or in the backpack.
However, Yang Tao could activate more Time Torrent Pocket Watches and put them in his backpack; although the effects could only be added together, it should be enough.
13 times, 26 times, 39 times… 390 times.
The backpack was full.
But the Watch of Flowing Time had no effect when placed in the Sophisticated Backpack.
Helpless, Yang Tao summoned the wooden door.
Under Guilliman's gaze, Yang Tao walked to the wooden door and poked his head in, shouting to the Villagers inside.
Villagers were Yang Tao's most precious asset.
Soon, the abandoned Webway entrance was 'occupied' by a large number of Villagers. After Yang Tao activated the Watch of Flowing Time, he distributed them one by one to the Villagers who had backpacks.
One hundred Villagers.
46,800 times.
Less than two seconds would reverse a day's time.
Even so, it would still take about 80 days to reverse time to the day the Webway exploded.
This time was really too long for Yang Tao, and he frowned, pondering whether to gather more Villagers when Guilliman noticed Yang Tao's mood was not too good and immediately asked with concern, "Is there any problem? You can tell me, all the manpower and resources of the Empire can be mobilized by you."
For the Imperial Regent to say such words, it already showed that under the Emperor's endorsement and Yang Tao's constant 'corrupting' influence in the 40k World, Guilliman had truly succumbed to Yang Tao's endless abilities.
"My people will waste 80 days in this cursed place just to restore the Webway to its state before it was destroyed… This is too slow."
Guilliman: "..."
Do you know what the hell you're saying?? Repairing the Webway without any loss in 80 days??
"If the Emperor is gone due to an accident, I will fully support you to become the new Emperor of the Empire!"
Yang Tao: "!!!"
"Guilliman, whoever wants to sit on that broken toilet can sit on it. I'm just here to get some power of faith. I didn't expect a loyal-looking guy like you to be so disloyal!"
Trying to trick me into sitting on the toilet?
Other Primarchs wouldn't even consider whether the Emperor was present or not, but Guilliman was different.
He had truly established the Second Empire in the 500 Worlds, precisely to prevent the Emperor's sudden death so that he could ensure the continuation of humanity.
Yang Tao even suspected that the original Emperor had died long ago, and the guy sitting on the toilet now was just the embodiment of human faith.
Now, making him the Emperor was clearly trying to harm him.
This Guilliman is not a good person!
Guilliman looked at Yang Tao, who was saying his true thoughts without changing his expression:
"You are the embodiment of the Father on earth. No one will object to you leading the Empire."
Nonsense about an embodiment, Guilliman knew this was just an excuse the Father made to allow this man to act more effectively within the Empire.
However, it was perfect for shutting up those great nobles.
Have an opinion? Just kill them all.
In front of all humanity, the death of one or two hundred billion rebels was not a big deal at all.
Suddenly, Guilliman understood!!
He seemed to understand the Father's true thoughts; if all humanity could truly recreate the glory of the Golden Age, then sacrificing the Emperor's freedom didn't seem like too big of a problem.
However, the man in front of him wanted the Father to stand up, so he would go along with his idea.
"80 days is already a very short time. What do they need? I will arrange for the Empire's best resources to be sent here."
Uh…
The needs of Villagers vary depending on their profession. These unemployed Villagers simply want a profession.
"No need."
Yang Tao waved his hand and said, "I'll just call some more Villagers to work in shifts. Guilliman, I'll arrange some Villagers for you. They can place new Waypoints. After the Emperor stands up, I'll hand over the spatial jump technology to… Never mind, I don't trust those Mechanicus guys."
Sometimes, people in the Mechanicus cause more trouble than enemies.
He took out a Waypoint and placed it aside. White light appeared, and his only Bishop-level Iron Golem appeared in the underground palace connecting the Webway to the Imperial Palace on Terra.
With Iron Golem there, as long as the Chaos Gods don't make a move, any Greater Daemon of the Chaos Gods that comes will die.
"Guilliman, 80 days is too long. I'll leave this place to my Iron Golem. You can do as you please with other matters."
While the wooden door hadn't disappeared, Yang Tao called over ten more Villagers and had them build some residences for the Villagers responsible for time reversal.
After giving instructions, Yang Tao returned directly to the Overworld.
...
Two days later.
Yang Tao emerged from his home refreshed, a lingering smile on his face, muttering:
"Gambling, family scattered. Poison, family ruined. Lust, truly enjoyable…"
What 'all evil begins with lust'—in reality, ordinary people have simply misinterpreted the word 'lust.' Here, 'lust' is more like the 'depravity' of Slaanesh, one of the Chaos Gods.
It refers to depravity and indulgence.
Food and sex are human nature.
Whether it's enjoying food and drink, or liking prosperous and beautiful things, these are just human instincts.
"Warhammer and the Emperor are connected; I can put that aside for now. While I have the time, I'll go check on the Gym… then go to the New World to relax."
He pushed open the wooden door.
Pokémon World Goldenrod City Gym.
As soon as he arrived, he heard cheers from outside the room.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Yang Tao saw that there were already many spectators in the Gym's battle arena. They were cheering for the two Pokémon currently battling in the arena.
'I didn't expect the Gym to become so lively in such a short time!'
What Yang Tao didn't know was that during his absence, the few Pokémon he casually trained had gone wild. Under high-intensity combat, the strength of Growlithe, Caterpie, and even Slowbro had greatly improved.
Pushing open the door, Yang Tao walked out of the room.
A sound of flapping wings came, and Blue Bird flew from its exclusive nest and landed on his shoulder.
"I smell faith on you…"
Blue Bird's tone was very resentful, as if she had caught her man cheating outside.
"Master, you said before that using the power of faith has drawbacks…"
Yang Tao heard Blue Bird's words, stroked Blue Bird's head, and smiled, "I'm just a battery. The power of faith is just a special kind of energy to me."
With that, he directly mobilized the power of faith within his body and poured it into Blue Bird's body.
"Ahhhhhh… Master, you're amazing, don't stop!"
Yang Tao: "..."
He suspected whether he was being played by Blue Bird.
