The Timeless Isle, an Island near Pandaria, is considered by many Pandaren scholars to be a mysterious Island.
The Pandaren have created many adventure stories depicting this dangerous place, imbuing it with an eerie atmosphere. Legendary that no Pandaren has ever left the Timeless Isle alive.
But the truth is, the Timeless Isle is the residence of the August Celestials.
The August Celestials are supreme deities among the Pandaren. The sacred place where the gods reside is naturally off-limits to mortals, and most Pandaren who have entered the Timeless Isle have been executed.
Unfortunately, the August Celestials did not gain control of the entire Timeless Isle.
In the northern part of the Timeless Isle stands an ancient temple ruin, controlled by a large Yaungol.
The leader of the Yaungol was named Han Er Duo Si, who was blessed by the Firelord and transformed into the Flame Apostle. Although the August Celestials claimed to be Unity of Heaven and Humanity, they were powerless against this Yaungol.
Wrathion, Thrall, Anduin, led by Madam Goya, landed on the Timeless Isle.
As the leader of the black market in Pandaria, Madam Goya is shrewd and resourceful, and has gained the friendship of Han Er Duo Si. Although the August Celestials dislike her, they can only tacitly allow her to set foot on the Timeless Isle out of respect for Han Er Duo Si.
The Timeless Isle is a beautiful place, sparsely populated and home to various ancient creatures. Admiring the scenery, Madam Goya smiled and looked around.
"This is the place I have chosen for the Pandaren to Fleshly Body Attaining the Dao. All Pandaren will be devoured by the Orcs here, completing their Redemption. Afterward, the Pandaren will become a rare species in Azeroth."
Wrathion frowned slightly, sensing something unusual about this island. Time here was different from the outside world. Wrathion noticed the anomaly but couldn't pinpoint the problem.
Thrall was a ferocious Orcs. He had only been on the island for a short time when he saw a large, fiery red bird leisurely strolling in the grass. Thrall's mouth watered, and he charged toward the bird in one swift motion.
The giant bird remained calm, opening its long beak and spitting out a Wind Blade. Thrall was instantly cut in two at the waist, falling to the ground howling in pain and begging Wrathion for help.
Wrathion let out an angry growl and could only use magic to heal Thrall's wounds.
"The creatures here are somewhat unusual."
Wrathion intended to capture the large red bird for research, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.
Madam Goya smiled faintly:
"The Timeless Isle is home to many strange creatures, such as Dragons and the Legendary Phoenix. They appear and disappear suddenly, shrouded in mystery, which is why they attracted the August Celestials. It's just unknown how many secrets the August Celestials have uncovered."
Just as Madam Goya had said, a black Cloud Serpent flew across the sky. The Cloud Serpent had a ferocious appearance and was over a kilometer long. It meandered and swam gracefully across the sky.
"This is the Wraith Dragon," Madam Goya explained. "He has lived on the Timeless Isle for many years, but he doesn't know where his lair is. The August Celestials have also tried to find his Dragon Eggs."
Wrathion gazed at the enormous body of the daemons, his eyes darting around, and asked, "Madam, how many creatures of similar size to the daemons are left on the Timeless Isle?"
Madam Goya smiled and said:
"I've heard from Han Er Duo Si that there are at least fifty creatures of the 'Torpedo Dragon' level, but they aren't the strongest. The Timeless Isle is home to many extremely dangerous creatures, though they don't appear often; even the August Celestials dare not provoke them."
Wrathion showed great interest, thought for a moment, and smiled:
"Madam Guo, I wonder if you've considered this: with so many powerful creatures crammed onto such an Island, where will they get their food? Logically speaking, a Timeless Isle can only support one Dire Dragon at most; any more and a battle will break out."
Madam Goya blinked. Although she was extremely intelligent, she had never considered this aspect before. Only after hearing Wrathion's explanation did she realize the unusual nature of it.
"An interesting insight; why has no one noticed this problem before?"
Thrall's injuries had healed, and he clenched his fists in resentment. "Hmph, one day, I will devour all the living creatures on the Timeless Isle."
Wrathion angrily warned, "Shut up, you fool! You can't just eat wild animals; it will bring unexpected disasters."
Anduin, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "Strange, I sensed the power of Holy Light on this island, but it's not the same as the usual Holy Light."
Wrathion turned around, stared at Anduin, and asked, "Prince Highness, tell me how you feel."
Anduin a puzzled look:
"When I needed the Power of the Holy Light before, Holy Light felt like someone was pouring it into my body. The Holy Light I felt on the Timeless Isle was elusive and unfriendly to me."
"Uncontrolled by the Naaru, the Holy Light without a master—I thought the Holy Light of Azeroth was monopolized by the Naaru."
Wrathion's smile grew wider, "What an interesting place."
Thrall said worriedly, "Hmph, Garrosh's army is attacking the Shado-Pan Monastery. What can Taran Zhu use to resist? Once the Shado-Pan Monastery is destroyed, we will become Garrosh's target. Lady Guo, I hope your plan to Fleshly Body Attaining the Dao can be completed as soon as possible."
Madam Goya chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the Golden Lotus alone has over ten thousand Pandaren, and they are all very willing to become the Orcs' food supply."
The group traversed the dense jungle. Although there were many ferocious beasts on the Timeless Isle, most of them were relatively restrained and would not show hostility as long as they were not provoked. Madam Goya was very familiar with the place and soon arrived in front of a building that resembled a Coliseum.
Madam Goya said elegantly, "I devoted most of my fortune to building this Coliseum. There's also a military camp nearby, big enough to hold 50,000 Orcs. I also built a Teleportation Array connecting the Valley of Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Tanaris, but the technical issues haven't been resolved yet."
Wrathion surveyed the Coliseum built of massive stones, guessing it must have been constructed by the Yaungol. The building's quality was superb, and Wrathion was quite satisfied. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll solve the technical problems with the Teleportation Array."
Madam Goya said in a clear, melodious voice, "Thank you for your help, sir."
Wrathion chuckled and said, "I'll need your help in the future, madam."
Thrall's Orcs army was nearing completion, Anduin, having failed to obtain the power of the Sha of Madness, remained sullen.
Wrathion reassured him, "Prince Highness, there is no need to worry. The Sha of Pandaria will fall into our hands sooner or later."
The group settled in the Coliseum. Wrathion commanded the Yaungol to build Teleportation Array. Without delay, Thrall immediately headed to the Caverns of Time to demand 50,000 Orcs soldiers from the Bronze Dragonflight.
Soon, bad news arrived: in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, hundreds of thousands of Golden Lotus had disappeared in the Mogu'shan Vaults, along with five thousand Kor'kron Orcs and five thousand Darkspear Trolls.
These hundreds of thousands of Pandaren were originally Thrall's first batch of military provisions. Madam Goya seemed very anxious and hurriedly sent people to find out the news.
The next day, accurate news arrived.
According to the sole survivor, Kor'kron lieutenant Malkorok, five thousand Darkspear Trolls betrayed the party at the instigation of the Dark Prophet Zul, using traps within the Mogu'shan Palace to kill hundreds of thousands of Pandaren and five thousand Orcs.
The brave Malkorok single-handedly slaughtered three thousand Darkspear Trolls, severely wounded the Dark Prophet Zul, and finally fought his way out of the Mogu'shan Vaults, without a single wound on his body.
