"Azeroth? I remember that place... yes, I recall now. Starlight Land. That planet is also a nascent Titan, just not nearly as powerful as you." Argus also sat down, conversing with Hu Feng.

"Yes, it's very safe here for now. I've been here ever since I evaded the Void Lords and Sargeras. By the way, how did you survive?"

"Sargeras attacked the Pantheon, and we fought back, but he was simply too powerful. I wanted to hold him back and let my brethren escape, but Aman'Thul ordered me to evacuate with everything I could carry. I... could only obey the Titan King's command." Argus spoke with a pained expression.

Seeing this, Hu Feng tried to comfort him, "You did the right thing. You preserved the knowledge and heritage of the Pantheon. Staying there wouldn't have saved them anyway."

Argus nodded, then frowned. "I remember, the world of Azeroth has a Firewall that the Pantheon jointly created, right? If I were to meet you there, I wouldn't be able to get in."

Hu Feng looked at Argus with amusement. "Azeroth does have a Firewall, but my World Egg doesn't! Why don't you just come to my planet?"

The Avenger patted his head and chuckled a few times. "I forgot about that, hehe." He then stood up. "Alright, Sargeras, my kin. This contact ends here. Once I'm ready, I'll head over to meet you. Take care of yourself, you are..."

"I know, I know. I am the Titan's Dawn. Don't worry, I don't want to die before I'm even born."

"Then, farewell, my kin." Argus's holographic projection slowly faded.

Returning to Suramar, Hu Feng fell into thought. With only two Titans, there was no way to defeat Sargeras, let alone the Void Lords.

What should he do?

He had to strengthen himself, and also... strengthen his own forces. Sargeras had the endless Burning Legion, so Hu Feng needed to have a vast force capable of confronting it.

Time continued to pass.

Garrith Shadowsong was very busy. As the Border Army Commander, he always liked to lead from the front. Currently, he was in a predicament. A problem had emerged in the Feralas forest, the heartland of the Night Elves. In fact, this problem had always existed. Dire Maul, located in the center of Feralas, was originally a massive city of the Highborne. The Great Sundering destroyed it, leaving it in ruins. However, the Highborne living there had survived tenaciously. They called themselves the Syndra.

The Syndra Highborne were led by Prince Tosedrin, who insisted on having no contact with the outside world and did not trust his own kin, the Night Elves. Prince Tosedrin held the Highborne of Suramar in utter disdain, believing they had all been deceived. He thought that the Divine Emissary Hu Feng was not a divine emissary of the God of Magic at all. Whether a God of Magic even existed was debatable, and if one were to exist, it could only be the Well of Eternity.

Therefore, these stubborn Syndra elves, as unyielding as stone, had sealed off Dire Maul. Originally, the Night Elves adopted an attitude of letting these unreasonable compatriots do as they pleased, as long as they didn't cause trouble. They wouldn't mind if all of them died inside. The Highborne of Suramar and the Nightborne had classified the Syndra as Blasphemers and believed they should all be dragged out and hanged.

Now, news had suddenly arrived: the Syndra, in order to cope with Mana Addiction, had crazily summoned a Doomhound from the void and imprisoned it, siphoning its mana. This immediately made the Night Elves tense. Elves had an instinctive sensitivity to demons; the impression from the War of the Ancients was too profound.

They had initially intended to attack directly, but another problem had arisen in The Scarlets. The Druids wanted to establish a stronghold there and begin the slow process of healing the land, which had been destroyed by demons. However, Maraudon, the residence of the demigod Zalta and the Stone Element Princess Theraldis, which had been sealed for years, suddenly opened. A large group of Centaurs rushed out, and their numbers were still increasing.

The Druids were fiercely attacked. Since the Night Great Wall did not include The Scarlets, the Druids had to retreat behind the border walls and seek help from the Border Army.

With this turn of events, the plan for Dire Maul had to be temporarily shelved. Garrith ordered Shandris Moonpetal to lead the rangers of Moonpetal Fortress to constantly monitor the movements of Dire Maul. He then personally led his army to The Scarlets to help the Druids repel the Centaurs.

The Eastern Kingdoms continent was also bustling with activity.

Stormwind City had recently gained a lot of attention. A young girl from their Stormwind Kingdom had been chosen as the next Guardian of Tirisfal. Her name was Aegwynn.

The Guardian of Tirisfal was the leader of the Human Mage Kingdom of Dalaran, founded by the Kirin Tor Council of Magic.

Humans had various powerful enemies, and small groups of demons would occasionally harass the human kingdoms. No matter how powerful a mage was, it was impossible for them to protect the entire human world. Therefore, they began to consult ancient texts. Later, inspired by the apprentice of the Divine Emissary Hu Feng from that time, Merith Winterwind, they greatly improved the Mental Link, eventually transforming it into Energy Infusion.

Thus, the first Guardian, Alodi, was born. The power of all the powerful mages in the human kingdoms was infused into him. The strength of this artificially created god was indeed immense. Alodi also perfectly fulfilled his responsibility and mission, protecting the human world. He slew countless demons and monsters of all kinds.

To prevent the Guardian from losing himself under the influence of such immense power, the Kirin Tor decreed that a change must occur every few decades. Thus, the selection process for the next Guardian of Tirisfal began, with careful vetting among the Seven Human Kingdoms. Ultimately, this young girl from the Stormwind Kingdom, Aegwynn, with her unbelievable magical talent and decisive, capable personality, won the position of the next Guardian.

She would travel to the Tirisfal Glades in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, where she would receive instruction from the previous Guardian, Alodi. Once it was confirmed that she was capable, she would be infused with the power of the Guardian and begin her mission.

Aegwynn jumped out of the carriage and then respectfully approached a young mage, performing a mage's salute she had only recently learned.

"Disciple Aegwynn greets Teacher Alodi."

The young mage smiled and patted Aegwynn's head. "I apologize for not telling you the truth earlier. We could only tell you once you arrived here."

He paused, then continued, looking at the curious Aegwynn, "I am only responsible for the assistant teaching. The one who will truly teach you is someone else."

"Lord Alodi, why would such a powerful mage as yourself be an assistant teacher?"

"Because the one who will truly teach you is even more powerful, little Aegwynn."

"I can't imagine any human mage more powerful than you."

At this moment, a hunched figure slowly emerged from the inner hall of the room. Upon seeing the person's face, Aegwynn immediately hid behind Alodi in fright. The newcomer was actually an Undead! An evil, forbidden Undead!

"Aegwynn, why don't you quickly greet Teacher Merith Winterwind."
