The three-headed Dragon King flew over countless towering mountains, with Nozdormu in front and Malygos and Ysera following behind. They had always held the Bronze Dragon Aspect, the Aspect of the Blue, and the Green Dragonflight in awe, but at the same time, they were also uneasy.
As they approached their destination, the three-headed Dragon King felt a sense of awe.
Built atop the mountains, Ulduar is a city constructed by the Titans, one of three bases built on Azeroth.
A mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles was hollowed out, and countless caves and glacial caves eroded by nature merged together to form a magnificent city, which was also an impregnable fortress.
The towering peaks are covered in snow, shrouded in mist, and swept by howling winds. At their base lie lush forests, vast lakes, beautiful basins, and towers built by Titans nestled among the trees.
Nozdormu gazed down at the Titans wonders and remarked with a sigh:
"Time can erode everything. This place was once the capital of the Old Gods Yogg-Saron's Black Empire, even more magnificent and grand than it is now. The Titans' army destroyed it all, turning it into Yogg-Saron's prison."
"I saw a scene from after that time," Nozdormu said, his expression becoming much more cautious and uneasy.
"Mountains crumbled, the earth cracked, and the Windfury. The magnificent Titans fortress was reduced to a mere tenth of its former glory. Even the mighty Titan Keepers could only protect Yogg-Saron's sealed territory. The culprit behind all this is the Demon Soul, a sin originating from our Dragonkin."
Ysera asked, puzzled, "Nozdormu, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Nozdormu's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice filled with awe:
"I will take you to meet a great being, God of Wisdom Loken. Of all the Titans, he was least bound by Titans and possessed a free will. He has the means to glimpse the mysteries of the gods."
Facing a Guardian of a Titans, the three Dragon Kings dared not be negligent, transforming into Night Elves as a sign of respect. Ulduar had been warned of the dragon Dragon Kings ' arrival, but fortunately, they were not enemies at this moment.
God of Wisdom Loken, personally stood at the entrance to greet them. This Titan Keepers possessed a tall and strong physique; though not made of flesh and blood, he exhibited extraordinary agility. He smiled at the three Dragon Kings and said:
"Wisdom has allowed us to foresee your arrival and understand the purpose of your journey. I have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth and extinction of countless species. Through countless ages, only the folly of mortals remains eternal. You are the Dragon King who protect Azeroth, the Guardians chosen by the Titans. I sincerely hope that you will make a wise choice, so that my heart may find some solace."
Nozdormu bowed and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, I think you already know my choice."
Loken waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly:
"What does it matter? Although you are creations of the Titans, even the Titans are foolish. Too many creations have perished because of their ignorance. There are many reasons for ignorance: cowardice, timidity, selfishness, ambition—these are all excuses and reasons for foolishness. Such a race will inevitably be eliminated; this is the cruel law of the universe."
"I am happy to watch your performance, and I hope you can spark something in my long memory. Odyn is extremely disappointed in you and once advised me not to display the fruits of wisdom to foolish lizards. But I am willing to give you a chance, hoping for a miracle. The progress of all civilizations in the universe is the result of countless miracles."
Loken's attitude was Pride and rude, which angered Ysera and Malygos, especially the Aspect of the Blue, who glared at them and breathed magical Flames. "Don't underestimate a Dragon King. I dare to face any enemy head-on."
"Heh, is that so?"
Loken looked Malygos with disdain:
"I feel awe towards the unknown, but unfortunately, my wisdom always allows me to accurately predict the future. Your choice was exactly what I expected; consider this a premature mockery, Blue Dragonflight. I'd love for you to prove to me that my wisdom is wrong, and then I'll apologize for my current rudeness."
"You will apologize to me," Malygos said defiantly.
Loken smiled and shook his head. He led the way into Ulduar, through a vast passage paved with rock, explaining as he went:
"Yogg-Saron was once the master of this place. He told me that things always tend to go in the worst possible direction, and the things we least want to happen are the most likely to occur—it's the nature of living beings. I will take you into the observation chamber. I have broken some of the restrictions, allowing you to glimpse the gods. I hope you won't be frightened."
Inside a huge room, surrounded by a deep starry sky on all sides, floats a transparent sphere.
"I will show you the terrifying truth. It is very dangerous to spy on a god, but you need not worry. Once you leave this room, you will forget the truth I have shown you. All you will remember is your fear of the god and your foolish decision."
The transparent sphere slowly rotated, revealing the Azeroth Continent. Ysera suddenly asked, "Who can glimpse the gods without being affected by them?"
Loken gave Green Dragon Ysera, a strange look. "Why are you concerned about this? Have you met someone special?"
Ysera countered, "Even the wise Loken has doubts? Yes, I saw a strange man who once haunted the Emerald Dream. He told my men all sorts of strange things, but no one could remember them, just as you said, only their terror."
Loken's expression changed drastically. "Where is that person? How can we find him?"
"I'm sorry, but he stole an important treasure from the Emerald Dream and spread nonsense at the Dragonkin Assembly. He has been executed."
Loken shook his head regretfully:
"What a pity. Look at what you've missed. Those who wish to remain unaffected by the gods, or possess wisdom like mine to analyze the loopholes in the gods' rules, or wield the Power of Death —that's a realm the gods dare not touch. There's also another kind: souls from other universes."
Ysera nodded and made a mental note of it.
The three Dragon Kings stood together, looking up at the transparent sphere floating in the air.
"My God, how is this possible?" This is Green Dragon Ysera.
"Impossible, this is terrible. If it's really like this, what should I do?" A hesitant voice came from Malygos.
"My two old friends, you and I were fortunate enough to witness the End Time," Nozdormu said calmly.
When the three Dragon Kings left the observation room, they all forgot everything they had seen.
But the terrible fear, the immense terror of witnessing the truth, remained in their hearts.
What remains in our memories is also their "rational" choice.
Malfurion smiled wryly. "It seems I don't need Loken to apologize to me."
Ysera rubbed her forehead. "I told you, Alexstrasza wouldn't betray the Dragonkin."
Nozdormu looked at his two companions with disdain. "I see the future, and I see through your true nature. Only if we are united and have no ulterior motives can we have even a slim chance of victory. I knew your nature all along, and my choice was indeed wise."
On the floor of Ulduar, a small tentacle peeked out from a crack, and at the tip of the tentacle, an eye secretly observed the three Dragon Kings.
