Become the sun!
Nozdormu is indeed different from other Guardian Dragon King.
This guy has a very mysterious "temperament". Words such as contradiction, paradox, discord, etc. can be used to describe it. It is a "sense of conflict" that is visible to the naked eye.
Just like this "Dragon King Brother Guan" is clearly standing in front of you, but it gives you the feeling of being far away, like you are at the end of the sea of stars.
Although its self-narration is brief, it illustrates the problem. "Truth" has never been a problem for Dragon King, who controls time. The real problem is that it cannot convince itself to make a choice between "duty" and "correctness".
It would be fine if it was a heartless asshole.
But it happens to be not.
Titan's strict criteria for selecting a guardian requires him to be an upright and reliable guy. However, after he swore allegiance and "joined the job", he discovered that the side he was on did not seem to represent "justice".
This can be fatal.
But as Diakum said, since it chose to come back at this time, it means that Nozdormu is ready.
"Aman'Thul's time network is based on Everything Unification Field. Once that system shuts down, the time system covering Azeroth will no longer be forcibly constrained, and the last chain that Titan people are trapped in Supreme Star Soul will also be Dispersion.
Only then can He be truly free."
It explained, which made Diakum raise his eyebrows and ask:
"You mean, the time network will still be preserved?"
"Yeah, but no new branching time streams will be generated."
Nozdormu nodded and said:
"That was originally a "protective" measure, squeezing out the "possibilities" and materializing them, in order to protect the "correct" direction of destiny.
However, when Azeroth Star Soul takes the initiative, all possibilities will fall into His hands, making the future truly unpredictable, and the outcome will no longer be affected by external interference, but will only be based on His decisions and actions."
"What about other timelines that have been created?"
Vigilant said seriously:
"Will they die out?"
"No, they will continue to develop along their own possibilities until natural destruction. There can be countless sleeping Star Soul, but there can only be one awakened Star Soul."
Bronze Dragon Aspect said:
"When Supreme Star Soul leaves his cradle, the time network will reach the same end point no matter how many branches it derives. Aman'Thul has already constrained the start and end when designing it.
All changes that occur in the middle, no matter how magnificent or cruel, will not affect the beginning and ending. That is the ending preset by Titan.
But now, the decision-making power of the ending has been given to you World Mother."
"Hmm."
This answer made Diakum feel at ease.
Although "Holy Light Cannon" is indeed not enough to understand the complicated time path under Arcane Path, Nozdormu has described to him what will happen next as concisely as possible.
So he got the answer he wanted and felt satisfied.
It's time to get down to business.
"I've said all that needs to be said but I still don't plan to leave, so do you want to be here specially to witness me embracing An'she's divine body?"
Diakum glanced back at this "Second Master Guan".
His ridicule made Bronze Dragon Aspect shrug his shoulders. Dragon King, who had a single ponytail and a cool long beard, nodded and said:
"Of course, this moment is destined to affect more than just Azeroth. Perhaps the new future of Xinghai will also be forged because of this. We Bronze Dragons have always had the tradition of recording moments of destiny. If you can allow me to witness this scene, then it is indeed of great significance to me."
"You can watch it if you want, but I guess there's a high chance it won't end in an instant."
Dick moved his neck and let himself float into the Crystal Naaru form. In this form, he looked like a "human-shaped diamond" and said:
"It is said to be taken, but in fact it is integrating the divine transformation of Sun God into my Naaru's Body. Although it is most likely the same material, if the crystal in front of me is compared to a diamond, then the body of Naaru is like a piece of charcoal.
The integration of each other will definitely take time."
"We still have time."
Nozdormu said seriously:
"At least there will be no world-threatening situation in the next month."
"Huh?"
Diakum in the air turned around and asked:
"In this one-way river of time, can you still peek into the future?"
"You can't see the details clearly, but you can always predict the general direction."
Bronze Dragon Aspect said in a subtle tone:
"In the future that I can see, your destiny may undergo a drastic change like a storm. I wonder if you are ready?"
"Oh, I've been doing this for a long time, which means "we meet each other less often". Wait to hear my last words, right? You old Dragon King, you are really unlucky."
Vigilant scolded and flew high into the sky amidst Nozdormu's laughter.
This Time Dragon King is not the witness of the One. Just when Diakum is about to touch the "world gallstone" Gleam is shining on the sun Arc Light, Aegwynn finally arrives belatedly.
She was still holding a Titan Device part that had just been disassembled in her hand, and the other hand was full of oil, as if she had just come off work from the screw-driving assembly line.
But this is actually the core of the long-stopped "host" that Khaz Algar's Earthens have been maintaining. The removal of this thing means that Dornogal's Earthens have completely gotten rid of Titan Guardian System.
The laws that restrained them were ended, and the local Earthens were finally free.
Although they have been unable to contact the Titan Keeperss more than five thousand years ago, and have been secretly working against the Titan Edicts.
"Well, another node of Everything Unification Field has been unlocked."
Nozdormu glanced at the parts in Aegwynn's hand. It twirled its handsome beard and said:
"Now there are only Ulduar, Uldir and Uldum left. Your progress is beyond my imagination."
"If you don't do anything, just shut up."
Aegwynn didn't give Time Dragon King a good look. She stared at Diakum who was reaching out to touch Sun God's divine body and said coldly:
"You are not one of us yet, Nozdormu, don't try to get close to us."
Bronze Dragon Aspect didn't care about this lukewarm response.
It just feels joy and congratulations for Lady Aegwynn embarking on a different destiny.
After witnessing countless tragedies with his own eyes but being unable to participate in them, Nozdormu has long since learned to feel joy for all changes.
As the two watched, Dick's hands finally touched the surface of Holy Light Crystal.
Although it emits light and heat like the sun on this Inner Earth World, its body is not hot. On the contrary, when it comes into contact, Diakum feels a chill that should be felt when touching jewelry.
He carefully observed the Holy Light Crystal in front of him, which was even larger than Exodar, and was surprised to find that its natural edges and corners seemed to follow some strange rules, making it look like a natural handicraft.
The light and heat emitted by Diakum in the form of Solar Incarnation is also resonating with the light and heat of this crystal, just like the atoms vibrating at high speed are entering the same frequency.
Aegwynn and Nozdormu were like seeing two suns, one big and one small, suspended in the underground world. The light of the two were driven by each other and kept blooming. In a short time, it reached the point where Dragon King needed to cover his eyes.
In that bright light, Diakum's hands placed on the surface of the crystal seemed to "melt" and were "merging" into it across the solid divine body.
It's like a drop of water merging into the ocean.
He wasn't panicked.
He may not understand what the process in front of him represents, but he has the magical Character Card that will always explain it to him:
[External forces are joining in!
Power path: Holy Light/void-Radiant Sun/Eclipse-An'she, the Sun God/Lord of the Black Sun · An'se, power access mode: resonance/fusion.
Warning!
You are integrating into the remaining divine slough of [World Foundation (Holy Light)·Sun God]. This item comes from the ultimate creature of Holy Light Force and Origin, directly pointing to the core concept of Holy Light Force.
Because you have the Holy Light Force myth Creature Template·Naaru, you can use the method and process of "occupy-fusion-rebirth" to obtain this item.
But this operation will cause unknown results.
Warning!
You are integrating into the residual divine transformation of [Lord of the Black Sun·An'she]. Because it is currently in a special state, you will bear part of the Void Infestation from Lord of the Black Sun during the whole process of "occupation-fusion-rebirth".
This infection is the remnant of "Primordial Darkness" and is related to the foundation of the universe (void). Therefore, its energy level is extremely high and its influence and intrusion cannot be exempted in conventional ways.
During this process, you will resonate with Lord of the Black Sun and bear all the pressure and pain it endures. If your spirit is crushed or your body is completely eroded, you will turn into "Eclipse Fragment" and return to the body of Lord of the Black Sun.
Tip!
The "Light-Shadow Twinborn" path you possess matches the dual power characteristics of Sun God and Lord of the Black Sun, making the above two effects effective at the same time.
Tip!
After the "occupation" stage is completed, you will own a part of "Sun God/Lord of the Black Sun" True God Authority. Understanding and deepening the usage rights will speed up the "integration" process.
After the "Integration" phase is completed, you will enter the "Rebirth" process.
After the above three stages are completed, the divine transformation of Sun God/Lord of the Black Sun will become your power container and unlock the supreme path to the "Foundation of the Universe (the True God of the Universe)" for you.
Tip!
In the process, you will gradually understand some mysteries and taboos that do not belong to Material World. Please do not teach them to creatures who are not qualified to control them, so as not to cause unnecessary impact on the material universe.
After you understand the mystery of "Supreme Ritual·Path to Godhood", you can try to ignite your own "Divine Fire" and enter the "Secondary Universe Symbol (Lesser God) Life Stage"
Additional instructions:
[Remember! Holy Light's idealistic power is related to faith. One person's will can become fire, and the will of thousands of people can make the sun and moon change the sky.
If you want to become a real Sun God, you must first learn to inspire the courage in People of Light's heart. You are not fighting alone, and don't try to fight alone, otherwise you will have to stop at the high but simple symbol of "the sun".
(This sentence is not what I said. I am too lazy to pass on the message, but I can't beat that bastard. You are right to listen to him on such mysterious matters.
I wish you good luck in becoming a god, Hanging Bro, and don't forget to protect me when you get rich in the future.)]
"You really dare?!"
When Diakum's body merged into Sun God's divine body in this resonance of power, the Eclipse Fragment that sealed Xal'atath was "rejected" from this divine body.
She was suspended under Sunflare in a lonely posture, looking at Diakum who was integrating into the divine body with very complicated emotions.
She gave advice.
But she was sure that Diakum didn't have the guts to do that.
To bear the pain of a true god who is falling into darkness is simply not something that a mortal can do.
However, at this moment, she did not see any hesitation or pretense on Diakum's face. On the contrary, Vigilant embraced the god in front of her with a calm and expectant expression, and the light of Sun God also embraced him.
It was like hugging a wanderer returning home from a long journey, which made Xal'atath feel a sense of "jealousy".
Diakum is just a "second-hand Naaru", but she is the real "first ray of darkness" born from An'she's Eclipse.
She is the "real daughter".
But An'she has never embraced her like he embraced Diakum.
"That's why you can't get anywhere near this "Legacy"."
Diakum's voice echoed in Xal'atath's ears, with a sense of emotion and helplessness, he said:
"You know what to do, but you are always undecided. If An'she really needs a "successor", then whether it is to light up the sun or fall into Eclipse, selflessness, courage and enthusiasm are only the most basic selection criteria.
However, you can't satisfy any of them.
Look there, Xal'atath, I followed your advice and set foot on Path of the Sun. I will bear the pain of An'she and heal him. I will accomplish the great deeds that you think are vain.
But not for honor, but for the benefit of the majority."
"Hypocrisy!"
Xal'atath cursed through gritted teeth.
She never believed that there could be a being in this sea of stars who would put everything he owned on the pallet of the scale just to exchange for the well-being of others.
But that's not her fault.
How can people who were born in darkness and have never seen light imagine a bright world?
"You will be crushed, you will fall into the darkness of An'she and become one of those martyrs! Only then will you know that Eclipse is the One's destiny!"
Xal'atath is still cursing, but Diakum can no longer hear it.
He completely integrated into this piece of Holy Light Crystal. As the dazzling light became softer, in the center of the crystal that was originally filled with flowing light, Diakum curled up in it, like a baby waiting to be delivered.
Of course, it is also very similar to that unlucky ancient mosquito sealed in amber.
Diakum can feel his body "melting" into the warmer light around him.
That warmth made him very comfortable, his spirit was very clear, and his will was like being connected to a "radar", which was continuously diffused at this moment, making those "whispers" become clearer in his ears.
He seemed to have turned into a gust of wind blowing through the world, hearing the desires in the hearts of Northshire Abbey those who prayed devoutly.
But not all creatures walking in Holy Light are qualified to be "heard". Only the voices of those devout people can be captured in the ears of Diakum.
"Holy Light, please protect our Vigilant. If he can come back safely, I promise! No, I swear that I will suppress the inner demons in my heart that want those idiots Lightforging."
This was Yrel praying, which made Diakum couldn't help laughing.
It seems that his education to "Holy Light Tyrant" was very successful, and he made Yrel realize that it is not the correct behavior to Lightforging others casually. He wanted to answer this prayer, but he had no hands, so he could only pat Yrel's forehead with a gesture of will as an encouragement.
Diakum's consciousness went to listen to other voices for a moment, but Yrel in Northshire Abbey suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
"Holy Light responded to me, no."
Little Hoof turned around blankly and said to Yuna beside him:
"The sun just touched me."
"I should think you are bragging, but the light mark on your forehead does seem to be changing! It is turning into a small corona."
Yuna widened his eyes and exclaimed:
"Isn't that the Seal of Light given to you by K'ure the Crown? You said this thing is related to your morality. How could it suddenly change? Your morality has been deflected?"
"No! I'm as determined as ever."
Yrel rubbed his face helplessly, sighed and said:
"Why do weird things like this always happen to me?"
This may be an "unsolved mystery", but there are indeed many Holy Light Followers around the world who have been touched by the sun at this moment in response.
Diakum cannot promise that their dreams will come true, but he can answer those prayers in this way.
I heard what they said.
This is equivalent to writing "read" on the submitted document, which means that I have read it. As for whether I agree or not, and whether I will implement it or not, that is another matter.
Diakum distinguished among these sounds which ones were his acquaintances and which ones were strangers. He found this very interesting, but soon, a voice that did not exist in the Eastern Continent or Kalimdor area attracted him.
Let Vigilant shift its attention to the undiscovered area on the Endless Sea.
He was surprised to see a strange continent here, filled with humans, elves and their hybrids. He sensed many pious light spots here, which represented that this was a pure Holy Light Land.
And among those light spots, he noticed the brightest one.
"Holy Flame, please declare to me the future of the Arathi Empire. How should I, who just succeeded to the throne, rule this ancient empire?"
It was a voice that was not young but full of exhaustion. It did not seem to be a sacred prayer but just a complaint similar to emotion.
But Diakum already knows where this is and who the person in front of him is.
There was joy in his heart, but the moment Vigilant had just established contact with the light point and passed on the news of the Eastern Continent's war and Strom'kar Empire's reconstruction, the light and shadow suddenly changed.
The light that embraced him quietly turned into shadow at this moment, making Vigilant feel like he had fallen into the dark night again.
All contact with the outside world was severed.
Eclipse is here!
The infinitely expanding spirit was compressed into the crystal at this moment, just like stepping into a cage. Every strand of spirit became heavy and tired, and the movement of thinking almost stagnated.
What's even more terrifying is the pain.
It was like being burned by fire, frostbitten, cut by a sharp blade, corroded by poison, torn apart by a spell. All the pain Diakum had endured and had not endured were added to it at this moment.
He had only heard of "Ling Chi" before, but this time he really experienced it.
If it was just pain, that would be it. A strong enough will could resist the pain, but the all-pervasive erosion made Diakum almost go crazy.
He could clearly feel that the filth of the void was entering his spirit and body. He could not resist it and could only let them conquer the city with his original clear will.
The reason, mind and will that I am proud of are all being destroyed, like a dam when a flood comes.
Unable to bear it, even unable to resist.
This is the state of An'she in Eclipse. Xal'atath said that he was dead. He really couldn't resist. He could only watch the filth born in the abyss crawling over his body. Only a silver moon pulled him and prevented him from falling into the dark abyss.
That is Ms. Elune protecting An'she, but Moon Goddess will not protect herself.
What should I do?
In this irresistible erosion and degradation, how can I persevere until the next arrival of Light-Shadow Shift?
"Holy Light's idealistic power comes from faith. One person is like fire, and ten thousand people become Yang!"
The seemingly ordinary reminder from before made Diakum jump into his heart when his will was about to be paralyzed and frozen, and when he was about to be completely defeated, it was like a key that opened the keyhole of disaster.
You are already a flame. If you want to light the sun in the darkness, you will naturally need firewood.
So.
"Burn!"
He spoke with difficulty, and Faith Power, who belonged to the two factions Light Weaver and Shadewalker, was ignited in the most primitive way at this moment, letting a small, subtle flame bloom in front of Diakum's eyes.
The flame was only enough to illuminate his eyes and cheeks, but it made the gloomy things in front of his eyes and around his head quietly recede.
The excruciating pain is still there, but at least my mind is functioning again.
He has to keep at it!
He must persist until the next light comes.
Even if there is only a flame in your hand that can be extinguished at any time, the darkness is no longer worth fearing. This is the path of Warrior of Light!
