Madam Goya's words gave Wrathion a new understanding.
"What a perfect Unity of Heaven and Humanity! The August Celestials think they are heaven itself, but they neglect the role of humans, unaware that the intelligence and talents of each individual are limited, even for gods who are high above them."
Wrathion smiled as he surveyed Xuen in the center of the Coliseum. The dying Xuen seemed to have something to say, but his body was being ravaged by the Orcs, rendering him unable to utter a sound.
"From this day forward, the Orcs will master the Way of Unity of Heaven and Humanity."
Wrathion was extremely pleased with himself, believing he was performing a great feat. He raised his hands toward the sky, and a black vortex appeared between his arms, carrying a terrifying attraction.
Drawn by the vortex, the mist covering Pandaria transformed into a stream of air that rushed down. The moment it touched the mist, Wrathion felt a jolt of fear, sensing the terrifying power within it.
This is an ineffable supreme law, and even with Wrathion's knowledge and wisdom, he could not fathom its mysteries. Wrathion was fortunate not to be swayed by greed; if he had directly devoured this mist, he would probably have died instantly.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the mist, like the endless magic of the Well of Eternity, must have a source.
Wrathion parted some of the mist and poured it into the dozens of Orcs bound to the wooden poles.
A flash of bloody light, and the bodies of dozens of Orcs immediately collapsed, even their bones shattered, turning into pools of bloody mud.
Wrathion waited with his hands behind his back, hoping that some Orcs would gain the power of Unity of Heaven and Humanity and be brought back to life, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and there was no movement for a long time.
It seemed things weren't quite as expected. Wrathion rubbed his forehead, thinking that too much mist had been injected, and the Orcs's body couldn't withstand it.
"Thrall, I need more test subjects."
"As you wish, Your Highness the Black Prince." Thrall grinned. "The brave Orcs are more than willing to be glorious test subjects."
This time, Wrathion selected one hundred Orcs.
He saw the soldiers trembling, their eyes filled with terror, but unfortunately, Wrathion and Thrall were far more terrifying, making all the Orcs submit to them.
Wrathion drew the mist from the sky again, this time much more carefully, using only one-tenth of the amount he had used before.
Just like last time, the hundred Orcs instantly turned into bloody mud.
Wrathion was secretly surprised. Had he poured in too much mist? But Wrathion's abilities were limited, and his skillful maneuvering was insufficient to further reduce the amount of mist.
Just as Wrathion was about to give up, a pool of blood on the ground moved, slowly merging together, and an Orcs came back to life, looking around in confusion.
Wrathion was overjoyed, as this proved his guess was correct: after absorbing the mist, the Orcs were able to achieve Unity of Heaven and Humanity.
"What's your name?" Wrathion asked kindly.
The resurrected Orcs scratched his head, seemingly a little dazed, and after a long while replied, "My lord, I remember now, my name is Immerseus."
Immerseus?
It didn't sound like Orcs's name, so Wrathion didn't take it to heart and chuckled, "Immerseus, you're a good boy. Would you like to continue the experiment?"
Immerseus nodded blankly. Wrathion waved his hand, and a large group of orcs wielding Orcs rushed forward and, without saying a word, hacked Immerseus into mincemeat.
Before long, Immerseus's body refused, his bones slowly grew, his muscles bulged, and his skin remained intact, appearing completely unharmed.
Thrall nearby, also showed a look of surprise. "Congratulations, my lord! Haha, Orcs with the power of Unity of Heaven and Humanity and man can never be killed. I need more."
Wrathion frowned and said, "Although it's a state of oneness with Unity of Heaven and Humanity, the success rate is extremely low, less than one percent."
Thrall smiled indifferently:
"What I need are true Elites, not a bunch of incompetent good-for-nothings. Good-for-nothings don't deserve to live in this world. My lord, please let the fog of war fall upon our valiant soldiers."
Wrathion pondered to himself, the fog of Pandaria concealed too many mysteries, and a few attempts alone would not uncover the truth. Perhaps he should try more, and maybe discover some patterns.
Wrathion felt no psychological pressure using these ordinary Orcs soldiers for experiments.
Thrall ordered a thousand Orcs to prepare, but the cowardly Orcs soldiers dared not defy Thrall and could only accept their fate. Wrathion continued to pour the minimum amount of mist into them.
But this time Wrathion failed. All one thousand Orcs died, and not one succeeded. Wrathion looked at the river of blood on the ground, stroking his chin in deep thought.
In the center of the Coliseum, Xuen had been completely dismembered. His soul returned to its place, slowly regenerating his body. In his soul form, Xuen was finally able to speak, weakly saying:
"Lord Wrathion, I have important matters to report."
Wrathion's face darkened, thinking that Xuen was going to mock him, and he said fiercely, "Foolish Xuen, you are just an incompetent piece of trash, don't even think about telling me what to do."
Xuen shook her head in protest. "That's not how it is. I just received a distress message from a servant named Chen Stormstout, who is currently struggling at the Stormstout Brewery."
Upon hearing the familiar name, Thrall perked up his ears, Wrathion asked with displeasure, "What do I care about the life or death of your servant?"
Xuen hurriedly explained:
"Chen Stormstout was a lowly Servant, and I never cared about his life or death. He only told me that he had encountered an enemy who was Unity of Heaven and Humanity and man, a monkey named Wuk Wuk Hozen."
"What?"
Wrathion was furious, his face turning pale. He had painstakingly researched the way of the Unity of Heaven and Humanity, sacrificing more than a thousand Orcs, only to have one Orcs succeed.
To his astonishment that a lowly Hozen had actually achieved the Unity of Heaven and Humanity, Wrathion was furious. He found a map of Pandaria, and Madam Goya marked the location of the Stormstout Brewery.
"I'd like to see how a Hozen can comprehend the Unity of Heaven and Humanity."
Wrathion cast a teleportation spell.
Stormstout Brewery, Chen Stormstout fled for their lives.
After failing to get help from Xuen, Chen Stormstout had no choice but to retreat. Unexpectedly, the Hozen that had been eliminated also came back to life and joined forces with a large group of Jinyu to hunt down Chen Stormstout.
Faced with the invincible Hozen and Jinyu, even the bravest Orcs lost their will to fight and fled for their lives with Chen Stormstout.
How could an ordinary soldier's agility compare to that of a hero? Before long, all five hundred Orcs were killed, leaving only Chen Stormstout, who was hiding and running around inside the Stormstout Brewery.
Hiding high on the roof beam, Chen Stormstout, was terrified of being discovered by the Hozen and Jinyu.
Suddenly, a dark light flashed, and Chen Stormstout felt a blur before his eyes. A man dressed in a black robe appeared in front of him.
"So you are Servant of Xuen? An Undead!" Wrathion asked arrogantly.
Startled that his disguise had been seen through at a glance, Chen Stormstout said ingratiatingly, "You must be an envoy of the August Celestials. I am finally saved."
Wrathion sneered, "The August Celestials have become my slaves, providing the Orcs with flesh and equipment every day. They are nothing but incompetent trash."
