Chapter 1 A Critically Ill Father, and an Enemy's Brother
Tie Hui stared blankly at the system panel projected onto his retina.
It's been almost a year since I was transported to the Dark Side Frontier Sector of Warhammer 40k as the second son of a small merchant ronin family.
To fight for that position, and even more so, to survive.
He secretly made his plans.
As long as his critically ill father kicks the bucket, he can immediately launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident (Starry Sky Version).
Who would have thought that the system would bind itself to him at this very moment?
He raised his hand and touched the imperial statue necklace that was pressed tightly against his skin. It was a necklace given to him by a machine from an industrial planet, a force he had won over.
This thing is said to have been blessed!
The Emperor's power had shone upon him, but now he felt extreme doubt.
Looking at the blue system panel, he wondered for the first time if this thing was part of Tzeentch's conspiracy.
[The Multiverse Transmigration System is now bound!]

Tie Hui looked at the items in the store on the panel, and for a moment he was a little unsure.
Clutching the emperor's statue tightly in his palm, he silently prayed, "May the emperor protect me!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the system panel in front of him suddenly changed.
[Congratulations, host, on receiving the newbie gift pack! You will have one random world to travel to! You can stay for 60 days for free, anchor in one world for free, and the system comes with a dimensional space.]
Tie Hui: "!!!"
His expression changed drastically.
The system changed right after I finished saying "May the Emperor bless you," how could that be a coincidence?
Could it be that the little blue bird has already read his memories into his mind?
Then follow his memories to the world of his past life!
His mind raced with rapidly shifting thoughts, causing his face to grow increasingly pale.
Ding ding ding—
But just then, there was a knock on the door.
Tie Hui took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart.
He looked at the system, tried silently saying "close," and the panel in front of him disappeared instantly.
After composing himself, he let the person outside in.
Captain Brian of the guards walked in, carrying a stack of documents with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Young Master! We just received news that the Governor of the planet Trels has publicly supported Young Master Seig!" Brian dropped a bombshell, then placed the documents in his hand on the table. "This is very disadvantageous for us. The planet Trels is a planet that is developing in all aspects. Once he publicly supports it, it means that the other merchant ronin dynasties that do large-scale transactions with him also support Young Master Seig."
Tie Hui picked up the various informational documents about the planet Terras from the table.
I just felt a headache coming on!
Since ancient times, the eldest son has been chosen over the most virtuous, and even the top families in the 40k era have tacitly accepted this rule.
However, human nature is unpredictable, and given the filthy environment, some members of powerful families fought each other to seize the right to inherit the family business.
Few inherit by the eldest son naturally, and this situation is even more common and tragic in merchant ronin families.
Needless to say, poisoning and assassination were also involved.
Some heirs even colluded with space pirates, aliens, and even chaos in order to obtain the charter.
As long as you don't violate the empire's bottom line and obtain a special permit, the empire won't say anything.
Once they obtain the charter and inherit the position, they will slaughter their other brothers and sisters.
Whether or not he participated in the position struggle, he wouldn't have survived; otherwise, he would have already taken a portion of his men and fled to another planet to make a living.
He placed the documents back on the table and calmly asked, "Did Father issue any statement?"
Brian nodded: "The lord says he will choose his best son to succeed him!"
Upon hearing this, Tie Hui's face showed an expression of "I knew it."
Ever since his adoptive father's health began to decline, he and his brothers and sisters have been engaged in fierce competition.
Later, they each rallied their own forces, such as the local governor, the Mechanic Church, and the State Church.
Because Seg is the eldest brother, there are a total of four planetary governors, one Mechanicus, and two planetary state religions in this sector that openly express their support for their eldest brother.
The remaining forces include the Navigator Family, the Knight Family, and governors and the Mechanicus on other planets. While they support their brothers and sisters, their relationship with their eldest brother is ambiguous.
They all clearly want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger!
"How are our preparations going?" After thinking for a moment, he asked Brian about the final preparations.
Brian seemed a little deflated upon hearing these questions, and said in a somewhat dejected tone, "So far, we only have 800 fully armed guards and one Victory-class heavy frigate. We also have the support of three agricultural worlds and one industrial world, along with the Mechanicus affiliated with them."
Tie Hui didn't show any negative emotions, but he was cursing in his heart.
He rubbed his temples, looking at the scattered documents on the table, his eyes gradually turning fierce.
He's a time traveler!
Moreover, the history of this world has not changed much. In ancient times, Emperor Tangzong raised an army at Xuanwu Gate in 800, and Emperor Mingzong implemented the Qing Emperor Strategy in 800.
Then today we have the Iron Glory 800 Guardian Family!
The Xuanwu Gate Incident: A Starry Sky Version!
He slammed his hand on the table and said fiercely, "800 men have their own way of fighting! What's there to be afraid of!"
Upon hearing this, Brian's previously low spirits instantly lifted. He immediately stood at attention, gave a hawk salute, and shouted, "Yes! At your command, young master!"
Ding ding ding—
Just then, there was another knock on the door, and the two quickly regained their composure.
Tie Hui ordered the people outside to come in, and a maid came in to report that the chef had come to deliver the meal.
Tie Hui nodded, but gestured to Brian beside him with his eyes.
Brian immediately understood and got to work after the chef pushed the food cart in.
Brian then began to test the dishes for poison.
After confirming everything was correct, Tie Hui waved Brian away and began to feast.
While Warhammer 40k wasn't great, the upper class certainly ate very well.
But after eating, Tie Hui always missed the Chinese cuisine from his hometown in his previous life.
"I wonder when I'll be able to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes again!" Tie Hui thought absentmindedly as he picked his teeth after finishing his meal.
This is his must-do activity after every meal!
He patted his stomach, which ached a little from overeating.
Then he got up to continue working on the documents!
But after walking only a few steps, I suddenly felt a little dizzy.
He initially thought it was due to getting up too abruptly, but within two seconds, the dizziness worsened, and he instantly realized something was wrong.
Poison!
After uttering those two words, he collapsed to the ground.
A lot of sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Then my consciousness began to blur!
