"Azeroth? I remember that place... Yes, I remember now. The Starlight Land. That planet was also a newborn Titan, though nowhere near as powerful as you." Argus sat down as well and spoke with Hu Feng.
"Yes, my place is very safe for now. I've remained here ever since I evaded the Void Lords and Sargeras. By the way, how did you survive?"
"Sargeras attacked the Pantheon. We rose up to fight back, but he was simply too powerful. I wanted to hold him off so our people could escape first, but Aman'Thul told me to withdraw with everything I could take. I... could only obey the god-king's command." Argus wore a pained expression as he spoke.
Seeing this, Hu Feng tried to comfort him. "You did the right thing by leaving. You preserved the Pantheon's knowledge and legacy. Even if you had stayed, you couldn't have saved them."
Argus nodded, then frowned. "I remember that the World of Azeroth has a Firewall jointly created by the Pantheon, right? If I go join you, I won't be able to get in."
Hu Feng looked at Argus with amusement. "Azeroth does have a Firewall, that's right, but my World Egg doesn't! Can't you just come to my planet?"
The Avenger slapped his forehead and chuckled foolishly. "I forgot about that, haha." He then rose to his feet. "All right, Sarodahl, my kin, let's end our contact here. Once I'm ready, I'll immediately go join you. Keep yourself safe. You are..."
"I know, I know. I'm 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 away.

Back in Suramar, Hu Feng fell deep into thought. With only two Titans, there was no chance of destroying Sargeras, let alone the Void Lords.
What should he do?
He had to grow stronger, and he also had to... strengthen his own forces. Sargeras had the endless Burning Legion, and Hu Feng needed a massive force capable of standing against it.
Time continued to pass.
Garrond Shadowsong was extremely busy. As the Border Army Commander, he had always liked leading from the front, and now he was troubled. A problem had emerged in Feralas Forest, the heartland of the Night Elves. In truth, the problem had always existed. Dire Maul, located in the center of Feralas, had once been a vast Highborne city. The Great Sundering had destroyed it, leaving behind only ruins. Yet the Highborne living there had stubbornly survived, calling themselves the Syndra.
The Syndra Highborne were led by Prince Tosedrin. He insisted on cutting off contact with the outside world and trusted neither his fellow Night Elves nor anyone else. He was even more dismissive of Suramar's Highborne. Prince Tosedrin believed they had all been deceived, that Divine Emissary Hu Feng was not an emissary of the God of Magic at all. Whether a God of Magic even existed was another matter, and if one had to name such a being, it could only be the Well of Eternity.
Thus, these stone-stubborn Syndra Elves sealed off Dire Maul. The Night Elves had originally taken an attitude of letting these unreasonable kin do as they pleased. As long as they did not come out and cause trouble, the Night Elves would not care even if they all died inside. Suramar's Highborne and the Nightborne, meanwhile, had branded the Syndra as Blasphemers who should all be dragged out and hanged.
Now, news suddenly arrived that, in order to deal with Mana Addiction, the Syndra had actually gone mad enough to summon a Doomhound from the void. They had imprisoned the demon and siphoned away its magical power. This immediately put the Night Elves on edge. Elves possessed an instinctive sensitivity toward demons; the memories left by demons during the War of the Ancients were simply too profound.
They had originally planned to storm in directly, but another problem arose in The Scarlets. The druids wanted to establish an outpost there and slowly heal that land once devastated by demons. But Maraudon, the long-sealed residence of Demigod Zalta and Stone Element Princess Theraldis, suddenly opened, and a great mass of centaurs surged out. Their numbers were still steadily increasing.
The druids came under fierce attack. Since the Night Great Wall did not encompass The Scarlets, they could only retreat behind the border walls and seek help from the Border Guard.
With this disturbance, the plans for Dire Maul had to be temporarily shelved. Garrond ordered Shandris Moonpetal to lead the rangers of Moonpetal Fortress in constantly monitoring Dire Maul's movements, while he personally led troops to The Scarlets to help the druids repel the centaurs.

The Eastern Kingdoms were just as lively.
Stormwind City had recently drawn much attention. A little girl from the Stormwind Kingdom had been confirmed as the next candidate for Guardian of Tirisfal. Her name was Aegwynn.
The Guardian of Tirisfal was the leader of the Human Mage Kingdom of Dalaran, established by the Kirin Tor Council of Magic.
Humanity had all manner of powerful enemies, and small groups of demons would occasionally invade human lands. No matter how powerful a mage was, they could not protect the entire human world alone. So they began searching through old books and were ultimately inspired by Merith Winterwind, the disciple of Magic Emissary Hu Feng. They greatly improved Mental Link, eventually transforming it into Energy Infusion.
Thus, the first Guardian, Alodi, was born. The power of every powerful mage in the human kingdoms was infused into him, and this artificially created god possessed truly unmatched strength. Alodi also faithfully carried out his duty and mission, protecting the human world. He slew countless demons and countless monsters of every kind.
To prevent the Guardian from losing himself under such abnormal power, the Kirin Tor decreed that the position had to change hands every few decades. Thus, candidates for the next Guardian of Tirisfal were carefully selected from the Seven Human Kingdoms. In the end, this little girl from the Stormwind Kingdom, Aegwynn, won the term as the next Guardian through her astonishing magical talent and decisive, capable personality.
She would travel to the Tirisfal Glades of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, where she would receive instruction from the previous Guardian, Alodi. Once she was deemed capable, she would be infused with the Guardian's power and begin her mission.
Aegwynn jumped down from the carriage, then respectfully walked over to a young mage and performed a mage's salute she had only recently learned.
"Disciple Aegwynn greets Teacher Alodi."
The young mage smiled and patted Aegwynn's head. "Sorry we didn't tell you the truth at the time. We could only tell you after you arrived here."
After a pause, Alodi looked at the curious Aegwynn and continued, "I am only responsible for assisting with your lessons. Someone else will be your true teacher."
"Lord Alodi, you're such a powerful mage. Why are you only an assistant teacher?"
"Because the one who will truly teach you is even more powerful, little Aegwynn."
"I can't think of any human mage more powerful than you."
Just then, a hunched figure slowly emerged from the inner room. The moment Aegwynn saw his face, she shrieked and hid behind Alodi. The newcomer was actually an undead! An evil, forbidden undead!
"Aegwynn, hurry and greet Teacher Merith Winterwind."
