In historical footage, Mulgore Goldenhoof look mockingly at his tentacles and eyes. "You said we are free, then are our beliefs also free?"
"Freedom should not be an excuse for ambitious people," N'Zoth emphasized.
Mulgore Goldenhoof proudly declared, "A god more powerful than you is willing to protect us. You are clearly jealous, N'Zoth."
N'Zoth remained silent for a long while. "Very well, I hope you can win her attention. It's a pity that the Yaungol may not have the same good fortune as the Night Elves. Although the Night Elves have lost their way, at least they live with dignity. I hope you have the ability to fulfill your ambitions."
With its tentacles and eyes gone, Golden Hoof looked at the pool of water overflowing with darkness and cursed, "Just a hypocritical Old Gods, how can he compare to the great Earth Mother? I will surely unify the Yaungol."
Historical images have vanished like bubbles.
Jianjiao Heiti led the Heizong Tauren to kneel on the ground, devoutly watching the historical footage of the Goldenhoof Emperor, their expressions of heartfelt worship evident.
"Look, this is a scene from before the Goldenhoof Emperor became emperor. He rejected the temptation of the Evil Old Gods N'Zoth and willingly embraced Earth Mother, thus beginning the glorious and great history of the Tauren race."
Thrall seemed to be deep in thought. As an outsider, he could see things more clearly; there seemed to be a hint of conspiracy in the air.
Anachronos was familiar with history and had witnessed too many similar conspiracies and tricks. He already had a conclusion in his mind, but he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he said it tactfully:
"Before Goldenhoof Emperor, the Yaungol had a brief period of glory, second only to the declining Night Elves and the rising Mogu Empire, and on par with the Zandalari Empire."
Upon hearing this, Jianjiao Heiti immediately showed displeasure, but refrained from refuting Anachronos because of his status.
The Heizong Tauren Shaman, worried that the chieftain might offend someone, quickly changed the subject:
"This must be the resting place of Emperor Mulgore Goldenhoof. Oh no, Blackhorn isn't here. He must have sneaked deep into the tomb and is desecrating the emperor's remains."
Realizing that the treasure in the tomb might fall into Blackhorn's hands, Jianjiao Heiti roared furiously, "Blackhorn must die! Men, open the tomb door! I want to tear Blackhorn to pieces!"
The stone-built tomb door was closed from the inside, and no matter how hard the Heizong Tauren tried, he couldn't open it. With no other option, the Jianjiao Heiti could only plead with Thrall.
Thrall chuckled coldly and ordered Morchok to open the stone door.
Elemental Lords Morchok stepped forward and easily opened the stone door to the tomb. Hagara the Stormbinder whipped up a Gale, dispersing the oppressive atmosphere deep within the tomb. Sensing the air had returned to normal, Hagara nodded and said:
"You can go in now."
The Jianjiao Heiti once again showed its displeasure, believing that Hagara was disturbing the peace of the Goldenhoof Emperor, and glared angrily at Hagara.
Hagara felt wronged; venturing into such an ancient tomb could easily lead to death, but she couldn't explain it to a backward-thinking Tauren.
As usual, Jianjiao Heiti sent a small number of its people to explore the area. Before long, a scout reported that no trace of Blackhorn had been found.
Jianjiao Heiti breathed a sigh of relief, proving that Blackhorn had not yet had time to desecrate the Emperor's tomb, and hurriedly led his people inside.
The tomb was pitch black; the oil lamps on the walls had long since dried up. The Tauren held torches to light the way, but the illumination was very limited, and many of Tauren tripped over them.
Hagara finally couldn't stand it any longer, and a ball of light slowly rose, illuminating everything around it.
This is an empty cave, with plates and jars scattered on the ground, mostly pottery, lacquerware, and stoneware, all crudely made and lacking any refinement.
In the very center of the cave stood a stone throne upon which rested a thick book, seemingly made of pure white jade, reflecting a dazzling light.
Hagara sensed the magic hidden within the Jade Book; it was clearly a precious magical artifact.
Anachronos recognized the markings on the cover and confirmed that it was a precious Titans Relic.
The Jianjiao Heiti gazed greedily at the Jade Book, cautiously approaching. Sensing the visitor, it suddenly turned the pages, and a melodious reading sound rang out.
"The Yaungol have never doubted the greatness of their crown prince, Mulgore Goldenhoof. At Mulgore's birth, accompanied by endless Thunder, a steep mountain descended from the sky, and the Yaungol built a city upon it, naming it Thunder Bluff."
The Jianjiao Heiti hurriedly knelt before the stone throne and cried out, "Praise be to the great Goldenhoof Emperor!"
The Jade Book turned a page, and another sound came out:
"The Crown Prince once trained in Moonglade. As a highly skilled weapon warrior, he loved his people dearly and skillfully employed diplomatic tactics to forge alliances and maintain peaceful relations with the Night Elves and Mogu. Even the hostile Qiraji praised the Crown Prince's wisdom."
The Heizong Tauren all knelt down, shouting in unison, "Praise be to the great Goldenhoof Emperor! May Earth Mother be with you!"
The Jade Book was turned again:
"After Mulgore ascended to the throne, he was revered as the Goldenhoof Emperor. At that time, the Yaungol were divided into seven tribes, worshipping the Evil Old Gods N'Zoth. The Yaungol suffered greatly at N'Zoth's hands, and countless Yaungol became sacrifices to N'Zoth."
"Goldenhoof Emperor realized that only by defeating N'Zoth could the Yaungol race be reborn. In the sacred Moonglade, Goldenhoof Emperor received a revelation, a terrible prophecy: N'Zoth's consciousness would penetrate into every Yaungol, and the ancient Black Empire would be reborn within them."
"The newly enthroned Goldenhoof Emperor understood his Destiny. His life would no longer be one of ease and wealth; he had to fight for the future of the Yaungol, and his life would be one of constant wandering as he completed the impossible task of defeating N'Zoth. The Yaungol had been bewitched by N'Zoth, and he had to seek help from the outside world."
"The Goldenhoof Emperor, for the sake of his country and people, disguised himself as an ordinary adventurer and began a tiring and long journey. He entered Ulduar to seek help from the Titan Keepers, visited Odyn, the master of Skyhold, and even prayed to the Holy Light."
In the distant Felwood, the Goldenhoof Emperor met the Demigod Cenarius. Cenarius sensed a mysterious power hidden deep within the earth, which only the most innocent races could respond to. The Goldenhoof Emperor attempted to communicate with it, and the gentle voice of Earth Mother echoed in his ears. She was the creator of the Yaungol, older than Azeroth itself.
"Goldenhoof Emperor was overjoyed. He hurriedly returned to his people's gathering place and rejected N'Zoth's warning. The Old Gods finally revealed his sinister nature. A Plague ravaged the Yaungol, and most of Yaungol perished in the Plague."
"Goldenhoof Emperor sought help from Earth Mother and finally overcame the great Plague. The Yaungol left their Plague- ridden homeland and established a kingdom on a fertile grassland. Later generations named this land after the emperor."
"The life of the Mulgore Goldenhoof was full of legendary events. He finally disintegrated at Thunder Bluff and returned to the embrace of Earth Mother. His descendants collected his clothing and personal belongings and built a tomb for him on the homeland of the Yaungol."
With tears welling in its Jianjiao Heiti said, "Your Majesty, you've worked so hard."
