After the August Celestials took their seats, Wrathion clapped his hands, and a large herd of Yaungol filed out, carrying various delicacies to the August Celestials.
Wrathion chuckled as he introduced, "Today's main course is roasted Tauren from Mulgore. The meat is incredibly delicious, renowned throughout Azeroth, and is a top-quality ingredient."
Xuen swallowed a tenderly roasted Tauren, chewing it up bone and all, nodding in approval as he praised it:
"Indeed, it has an indescribable savory aroma. The Pandaren pride themselves on their culinary skills, but they over-process the ingredients and then add heavy seasonings, causing the ingredients to lose their original flavor."
Wrathion, eating a piece of beef, smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xuen to be a gourmet."
After exchanging a few polite words and drinking several large barrels of Morning Dew Wine, the negotiations officially began.
Chi-Ji was the first to challenge, speaking in a difficult tone:
"Madam Goya, don't think I don't know your scheme. By sending the four of us to the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, Pandaria will belong entirely to the Pandaren and will no longer be subject to our control."
Niuzao loudly reminded:
"Madam, have you considered this? Without the protection of us August Celestials, how can the cowardly Pandaren withstand the Mantid's attack? I'm afraid the Jinyu and Hozen will wipe out your entire race."
Madam Goya remained expressionless and asked, "What do you four mean?"
Xuen coldly said, "The Pandaren remain unchanged, continuing to serve as food for the Orcs. The Orcs have saved Azeroth time and time again, and what have the Pandaren done in return?"
Yu'lon added from the side, "We promise that the Pandaren will not be wiped out by the Orcs. In the future, the various races of the Alliance will share the burden of the Pandaren and become a source of food for the Orcs."
Madam Goya chuckled and said, "I have a better plan."
The August Celestials looked on with suspicion, but Madam Goya said unhurriedly:
"There's an old saying among the Pandaren: 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.' No Pandaren wants to be eaten by the Orcs; they are only forced into it because of your coercion."
Chi-Ji roared angrily, "Pandaren, do you want to die?"
Madam Goya continued, "There's an old saying among the Pandaren: 'An eye for an eye.' All four of you have reached the state of Unity of Heaven and Humanity; you can recover from any injury, no matter how severe. Why not slaughter you and feed you to the Orcs?"
Instead of being angry, Xuen laughed coldly, "Pandaren, you are utterly ignorant of your own limitations. I will devour your flesh and blood and extract your soul."
Wrathion chuckled, Four Directions Void Formation activated, a mysterious dark power binding the August Celestials and rendering them immobile.
"Damn it, what kind of magic is this? Such a vicious trap!" Yu'lon cried out in terror.
Chi-Ji was dumbfounded, then flew into a rage, shouting, "Guo Ya, as Pandaren, you actually betrayed the god you worship to an outsider! You are a traitor to Pandaria!"
Madam Goya, having achieved her wish, exclaimed with delight:
"The August Celestials, you call yourselves protectors of the Pandaren, but you are actually Demons who harm Pandaren. Haha, my long-held plan has finally come to fruition. The high and mighty August Celestials, it's time for you to taste what it's like to be eaten by the Orcs."
Wrathion waved his hand and said, "Thrall, it's your turn to perform."
Thrall then realized what was happening, and looking at the August Celestials bound in the array, unable to resist, Thrall revealed a cruel smile:
"Haha, the August Celestials Pandaria gods plotted to destroy Azeroth, their crimes are unforgivable! We Orcs have once again saved Azeroth, and I have once again become the great Savior."
Wrathion yawned and said, "What a boring trick. The script should be changed. The four Pandaria August Celestials are willing to Consecration their own flesh and blood to save Azeroth."
The Magic Circle activated, Yu'lon was transported to the center of the Coliseum. A large group of Orcs entered the Coliseum, their sharp Battle Axes gleaming coldly.
Wrathion approached Yu'lon, looked at his terrified face, and asked, "As one of the August Celestials of Pandaria, are you willing to Consecration your flesh and blood for the Orcs to devour?"
Yu'lon roared angrily, "You damned scoundrel, I refuse!"
Wrathion gave a sinister smile and said coldly:
"When you forced the Pandaren to become food for the Orcs, they probably resisted in the same way, but what did they get in return? Torture and suffering. That's the injustice of Destiny."
Wrathion stretched out his right hand, and a black Lightning descended from the sky, striking Yu'lon in the head. Yu'lon let out a painful howl that almost echoed across half of the Timeless Isle.
Madam Goya was secretly astonished; this was a torment that directly affected the soul.
Wrathion asked again, "I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to become food for the Orcs?"
Yu'lon, one of the August Celestials, finally succumbed, sighing, "I am willing to learn from my mistakes, and I am willing to become food for the Orcs."
Wrathion chuckled, "Before the might of the powerful, even the so-called August Celestials can only accept their fate. Thrall, did you hear that? They'd be more than willing to be food for the Orcs."
Thrall laughed cruelly, "Then I will grant your wish, Pandaria's August Celestials."
The Orcs soldiers, wielding Battle Axes, pounced on Yu'lon, brutally hacking at him, skinning him, dismantling his bones, and slicing off piece after piece of bloody flesh.
Exquisite scales, fine dragon hide, and indestructible bones—these can be used to forge armor and weapons; Yu'lon's flesh can be made into Tough Jerky.
After Yu'lon's flesh and blood were torn away, only a phantom of a Cloud Serpent remained. It returned to its position in humiliation, and its body was rebuilt little by little.
Next up is Xuen.
After carefully observing the process of the August Celestials' bodies recovering, Wrathion gradually understood and nodded, saying, "I see, this is the Unity of Heaven and Humanity. I think I understand now."
Madam Goya asked, "I've heard that the Unity of Heaven and Humanity and man is a profound and mysterious concept, requiring both opportunity and innate wisdom, and can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. Is it possible to comprehend its principles?"
Wrathion squinted and said, "There is nothing that cannot be comprehended. If I wished, I could teach all the Pandaren Pandaria the Way of Unity of Heaven and Humanity."
Madam Goya shook her head. "I don't believe it. If that were true, wouldn't the Pandaren have unified Azeroth?"
Wrathion stroked his chin. "You've reminded me. I have a plan: why not build an Orcs army with the power of oneness with Unity of Heaven and Humanity, an immortal and indestructible force?"
Madam Goya saw through Wrathion's intentions at a glance and sneered, "You're just unsure about the Unity of Heaven and Humanity, so you're using Orcs soldiers as test subjects."
Wrathion didn't deny it, and after careful consideration, said, "I must admit, there's an element of gambling involved. Most of the Orcs will die, but Thrall shouldn't refuse."
Thrall grinned, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "The Orcs are ready at any time and are willing to give their lives to save Azeroth. We have no objections."
Wrathion shrugged and laughed:
"Very good. The Orcs are all volunteers. Teaching them the Unity of Heaven and Humanity and Orcs is too inefficient. I will adopt a new method, forcibly instilling the Unity of Heaven and Humanity. However, this process will be extremely painful, and most Orcs will die of mental breakdown."
Krasarang Wilds, the Horde's base.
General Nazgrim had never been so angry; he longed to execute Rokhan, who had deserted the battlefield, and Malkorok had suffered a defeat in battle.
But Rokhan was favored by Warchief Garrosh, Malkorok's sister was Garrosh's favorite concubine.
In the end, General Nazgrim could only suppress his anger.
