"The World Tree?" Xal'atath fell into deep thought.

The first World Tree in Azeroth belonged to Xal'atath. At that time, she had obtained the power of nature and life, as well as the power of Y'Shaarj. She was full of ambition and plotted to corrupt the Azeroth.

Xal'atath used the power of nature to create a giant tree in the dream world, named G'Hanir. G'Hanir's world is similar to the Emerald Dream, but also different from Emerald Dream. When this giant tree successfully infiltrated the real world, it meant that Xal'atath had bypassed the planet's defense system and completed the invasion of Azeroth.

Unfortunately, Xal'atath lacked a proper understanding of the forces of nature, and G'Hanir was a failed project. Queen Azshara discovered this and easily thwarted Xal'atath's plot.

Afterwards, G'Hanir's three seeds created the three World Trees: Nordrassil on Mount Hyjal, Teldrassil on the island of Darkshore, and Vordrassil in Northrend.

The Power of the Old Gods successfully corrupted Vordrassil, Nordrassil on Mount Hyjal withered in the war against Archimonde. As it slowly recovered, only Teldrassil, the home of the Night Elf race, remained.

"The roots of the World Tree?" Xal'atath shook his head. The wisdom of an Old Gods was insufficient to comprehend Elune's power. He could only look to Aman'Thul, awaiting his answer.

Aman'Thul's voice was cold, and his face was serious as he said:

"I still clearly remember the battle against Nature and Life Lord. The power of nature can turn the roots of plants into the most terrifying explosives, called Azerite, which can cause a massive explosion with just a little bit."

"Is Elune's last resort to blowing up Azeroth?" Xal'atath asked in horror.

Aman'Thul shook his head. "The roots of the World Tree are not deep enough to reach the core of Azeroth, but the explosion of Azerite can tear open the hard crust, exposing the fragile core of Azeroth to Elune, like an egg that has lost half its shell. At that time, all life on the surface will be destroyed."

Xal'atath grabbed Aman'Thul's shoulder and asked urgently, "Is there any way to resolve this?"

Aman'Thul took a deep breath. "If I can retrieve my Titans body, solving this problem will be a piece of cake. I just need to find the three World Trees' main roots buried deep underground, the Nexus Elune uses to control Azerite, and destroy them. This is something mortals cannot accomplish; it requires a massive weapon to be plunged deep into the earth's crust. Of course, this will damage Azeroth, but only superficially; it won't reach the core, and it will heal in time."

Xal'atath gazed silently at Aman'Thul: "Do you know where the Main Root is?"

Aman'Thul's eyes were full of wisdom as he slowly explained:

"It can't be seen from the surface. The correct location can only be found by detecting the existing World Tree Teldrassil, combining it with changes in the planet's magnetic field, and adding precise calculations. It requires an astronomical amount of computation, which only the Titans could accomplish."

Xal'atath seemed to be persuaded; his bright eyes sparkled as he lowered his head and pondered for a long while.

Aman'Thul urged urgently, "Time is running out. If we don't take action soon, life on Azeroth could be destroyed at any moment."

Xal'atath looked up, his large, watery eyes fixed on Aman'Thul, and suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, that's hilarious, Aman'Thul, you've made up a very interesting story."

"No, no!" Aman'Thul cried out, "This isn't a fabricated story; this is a major crisis that's about to unfold!"

Xal'atath shrugged, adopting an indifferent attitude.

"What does this have to do with me? I have an avatar in Draenor World. Even if Azeroth is destroyed, my will will continue. Aman'Thul, don't try to sway me with the safety of Azeroth. You think I'll help you regain your former Titans form for nothing? Don't dream. I won't help you without something in return."

Aman'Thul was in a bind; all he could offer now were the artifacts hidden throughout Azeroth.

However, these artifacts are only effective at winning over mortals and have little appeal to the Old Gods. Moreover, one of the artifacts sealed away a portion of Xal'atath's dark power, which would surely provoke her resentment and exacerbate the conflict between the two.

"Xal'atath." Aman'Thul raised his head. "You should know that I have a son, Lord of the Skies and Seas Golganneth. He was not born from the World Soul, but was forged by me using countless precious materials. Although he is weaker than naturally formed Titans, his life form is actually no different from ours."

Xal'atath looked at Aman'Thul with a puzzled expression.

Aman'Thul's gaze was deep as he spoke in a low voice:

"Let me tell you a secret: we Titans possess the power of creation, but we cannot forge souls as powerful as those of Titans. In other words, we cannot create ourselves. Gorganesh's soul was originally that of an Old Gods. It was because Y'Shaarj learned of his origins that he mistakenly believed all of us Titans were Old Gods."

Xal'atath's breathing quickened; she knew what Aman'Thul was about to say.

"If you help me get Azeroth, I can have a daughter."

Just as Cordana Evil Song crushed the monster's soul with her Soul Millstone, Robbie watched it all unfold.

The shattered souls finally escaped Elune's Rune seal. These scattered, immortal Titans souls were undetectable to the Night Elf jailers, but perfectly clear in Robbie's Point, Line, and Plane -plane vision.

The powdery Titans Soul seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, drifting in one direction. Robbie and the Black Cat quickly followed behind, drifting for dozens of miles to the coastline, where they arrived at a secret cave on a cliff.

Right there, Robbie saw Xal'atath in his Night Elf form, and the Night Elf husk Xal'atath had prepared for Aman'Thul, and overheard their conversation.

Aman'Thul's tale of Azerite evoked Robbie's memories. Robbie pondered the credibility of a Titans's words, and combined with his experiences in the game, this explained Sargeras's greatsword plunged into Silithus.

But is Silithus truly the main root of the World Tree?

Afterwards, during the Battle for Azeroth, Sylvanas's first act was to burn the World Tree Teldrassil. According to Aman'Thul, data from Teldrassil had to be analyzed to find the existence of the main root.

Based on this intelligence, Sargeras's avatar may not have found the main root yet, and was only taking a risk at the most critical moment. Silithus is not the correct location, which is why Sylvanas burned the World Tree, so that even the Titans with their superhuman computing power could not find the main root.

Robbie immediately concluded that Teldrassil, the only World Tree, had to be preserved, no matter the cost, but then he thought of Tyrande's loyalty to Elune.

The reality was truly disheartening, Robbie immediately felt a sense of powerlessness.

Teldrassil cannot be saved. Even if Sylvanas's attack is successfully repelled, Tyrande will personally burn the World Tree with just one oracle from the Moon Goddess. What should be done?
