At some point in the [[41st Millennium]], Fulgrim was lured back to [[Isstvan III]] by a sonic beacon. There he was confronted by the sole surviving loyalist Emperor's Child, the [[Dreadnought]] [[Rylanor]]. As Fulgrim tore the Dreadnought apart, an unexploded [[Virus Bomb]] was detonated and engulfed the planet. Though Fulgrim's form survived, his pride was wounded.{{Fn|17}}

The Emperor's Children claimed that Fulgrim was gifted by Slaanesh with [[Callax|a hidden world of unlimited pleasure for him to rule]].{{Fn|1}} Several centuries after the Heresy, he was said to be asleep on this world and not active in guiding the Emperor's Children.{{Fn|15f}} Warbands of Emperor's Children, other Slaanesh-worshiping Chaos Space Marines and [[Cultists]], and the Imperial [[Inquisition]] have sought out this world, but none have returned.{{Fn|1}} [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] was also able to somehow find Fulgrim and was able to gain the favor of Slaanesh by trading an unblemished [[Pythos]]ian [[Psyker]] with the Primarch.{{Fn|7}}
At some point around the [[32nd Millennium]], Fulgrim was lured back to [[Isstvan III]] by a sonic beacon. There he was confronted by the sole surviving loyalist Emperor's Child, the [[Dreadnought]] [[Rylanor]]. As Fulgrim tore the Dreadnought apart, an unexploded [[Virus Bomb]] was detonated and engulfed the planet. Though Fulgrim's form survived, his pride was wounded.{{Fn|17}}
Despite having put a bounty out against him for abandoning his post during the Siege of Terra, Fulgrim was delighted to see [[Fabius Bile]] and his followers when they met with him at the Garden of Fixfold Pleasure on [[Callax]]. Preparing for [[Battle of Belial IV|battle with the Dark Eldar]], Fabius pleaded with his gene-father to protect his [[New Men|children]] in the coming struggle. Fulgrim agreed, but only if Fabius pledged his soul and his creations to [[Slaanesh]]. Though willing to sacrifice himself, Fabius refused to offer the New Men to the forces of Chaos. A compromise was reached: Fabius would submit to Slaanesh, but his creations would be free to decide their own fate.{{Fn|23b}}
Fulgrim made another appearance at the conclusion of the [[Ultramar Campaign]] in the closing days of [[M41]]. Through the efforts of the [[Mechanicum]] and [[Eldar]] Roboute Guilliman was healed from the wounds inflicted by Fulgrim. Fulgrim sensed his brother's revival and took the time to possess the Arch-Consul of [[Macragge]] in order to gloat to Guilliman during his first public appearance in ten thousand years. Through the body of the Arch-Consul, Fulgrim announces that Guilliman would have many temptations to resist and that any feeling of self-satisfaction would be his doom.{{Fn|11}} Later, he appeared during the [[Sabbyst Planetstrike]] where he slew the [[Iron Hands]] Captain [[Sind Grolvoch]].{{Fn|20}} Using his personal messenger [[Mauvais]], Fulgrim arbitrarily appeared before the [[Perfecti]] Emperor's Children warband and led them to conquer the Imperial world of [[Crucible (World)|Crucible]]. There, he declared that he would launch a new Crusade to "liberate" the people of the Imperium from the Emperor's tyranny.{{Fn|34}}
In the [[Era Indomitus]], Fulgrim has become more active. While many Emperor's Children, other followers of Slaanesh, and even [[Xenos]] may spend their entire lives seeking him out, the Primarch is capricious and manifests seemingly on a whim. Many of those who seek him out are said to draw the eye of Slaanesh and rise in power themselves, encouraging even more to undertake the quest. When Fulgrim does appear, he seeks to glut himself on as varied a palette of existence as possible. Sometimes he will craft exquisite and genius strategies to bring pain, grief, and humiliation to his foes. But other times he may abandon all tactics to vent his aggression in a gory rush of reckless violence, not giving his sons even a modicum of attention. Just as Fulgrim will suddenly and seemingly randomly appear, so will he usually depart the battlefield without a word once he has sated his fill of sensation.{{Fn|17}}
