"Gousheng·Prestor", please take care of me
Sun Arrow fell without warning.
But all residents in all Azeroth cities in all continents witnessed this moment with their own eyes.
The bright sunlight turned into a stream of arrows and descended from the sky, cutting open the sky and falling somewhere in the world like a divine revelation. There are also devout believers who swear that they saw Holy Light turn into a bright giant sword and pierce into the world.
But almost no one believes this crazy rhetoric.
If such a big Holy Light Greatsword were stabbed down, wouldn't the whole world be over?
That was a beam of light so huge that it could be seen by the entire world, and it lasted for a full thirty minutes before dissipating. However, even Shamans did not feel the pain of the world, which meant that it did not cause any harm to the world itself.
So, it is just a pure "Holy Light miracle".
At least this is true for Holy Light Follower of Azeroth. Even human Church of the Holy Light and Quel'Thalas's Sun State Religion plan to immediately send explorers composed of believers on a pilgrimage.
But this is by no means a simple declaration of faith for Dragon Aspects people.
Because after the "Sun Arrow" fell, all the Dragon Aspectss in the whole world felt a familiar breath burst into their spirits at the same moment.
That's the "taste of home".
Dragon Isles's seal has been opened!
The place where the light hit was on Dragon Island, and the secret barrier created by the magic of order was shattered, so that the dragons no longer had to wait for the seal of their hometown ten thousand years ago to be opened from the inside.
But the question now is, if Dragon Isles is the location where the Sword of the Sun fell, was Dragon Island itself affected and damaged?
"That's the power from the sun! It's compressed and solidified into an entity, and then thrown into the star. It will definitely have a certain impact on the continental shelf itself.
We must get there as soon as possible!"
Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza jumped out from Wyrmrest Temple, transformed into a majestic and huge dragon in the air, flapped its wings and led the dragons surrounding the tower to fly to their hometown.
Her shouts made the oldest dragons in Red Dragonflight nod their heads.
As they flew out of the coast of Northrend, the Blue Dragons who took off from Nexus happened to blend into the "migration" of this giant dragon. Not only the adult dragons joined, but even the young dragons flapped their wings and followed behind their elders.
They were born outside Dragon Isles, and their hometown is just a "concept" that exists in the words of their elders.
However, when Dragon Isles was actually released from the mist, not to mention them, even the hatchlings who had just hatched became restless.
Obviously, there is something in Dragon Isles that attracts Dragon Aspects people.
"It's Oathstone! Alexstrasza, Dragon Aspects's "Oathstone" calling us."
Malygos flapped its wings and approached its sister. It shouted to Red Dragon Queen in the biting cold wind of Northrend:
"Where is Nozdormu? Isn't it back?"
"Bronze Dragons are cleaning up the dirt left by Infinite Dragonflight at Caverns of Time, but believe me, Malygos and Nozdormu will only move faster than us. After all, it can see the waves in time."
Red Dragon Queen flapped its huge wings to bring up a wake, helping Red Dragonflight's young dragons to accelerate, and then passed over the floating glacier on the Frozen Sea below at high speed. Amidst the screams of the penguins who were frightened by the appearance of the dragon group and fled into the water, Alexstrasza responded:
"The problem now is that the sunlight that broke the fog seal was too bright, and the whole world knew about the appearance of Dragon Isles! There are many things there that cannot be touched by mortals.
Not just secrets, but dangers.
We must mobilize all the forces in Dragon Aspects's hands to rush back to Dragon Island as soon as possible and regain control of those dangerous places. Malygos, have you informed Ysera?"
This question made the Weaver curl his lips.
It whispered:
"Ysera is now World Guardian, Alexstrasza. The phenomenon we can see with the naked eye, she will only know earlier with the reminder of World Mother. I estimate that Ysera is already waiting for us at the edge of Dragon Isles.
And be prepared, it's probably not just Ysera who appears there, but also "that person"."
Red Dragon Queen fell silent.
It knows that Malygos means "Neltharion".
The matter of Black Dragonflight returning to purity and returning to the service of World Mother was very secretive, but because this matter was closely related to Dragon Aspects, Ysera acted as a "middleman" and informed Dragon King about it.
They know that Deathwing is really dead, and the "Black Corrosion World-Ender" that exists now only has the wisdom and will of Neltharion, and his complete personality has not been restored. Vigilant Saint, who has done this himself, has guaranteed that Neltharion at this time and Black Dragon King in the past only share the same name.
But having said that, it is obviously difficult for Blue Dragon people to accept all this calmly.
They were almost exterminated by Deathwing in War of the Ancients. This hatred obviously cannot be forgotten casually. The Weaver originally planned to join forces with the Green Dragon Legion, who had also been hurt, but Ysera was not interested in this.
This makes the Weaver very angry.
The other dragons were unaware of the discussion between Dragon King and the facts they were about to face. They were simply happy to have their hometown reappeared.
Especially those old dragons.
They never thought that leaving their hometown ten thousand years ago to support War of the Ancients would be their farewell to their hometown. Many old dragons were completely unprepared and did not even clean up their homes when they left.
Many of the old dragon's children and dragon eggs were left in Dragon Isles. They were separated for ten thousand years. I wonder if those children and dragon eggs were well taken care of?
Although the Five-Colored Dragonss in Dragon Isles have a complete incubation system, after all the Dragon Kings have left, it is difficult to say whether the Dragonkins can persist in maintaining order for ten thousand years without any leader's command?
As the dragons get closer and closer to Dragon Island, these doubts have turned into pressure and surfaced in their minds.
The originally joyful dragons also became silent.
They were so majestic that they even flew over the sea in a manner that "blocked the sky and the sun." The Tuskarr fishermen on the sea who were sailing on big turtles opened their mouths in surprise. They had never seen so many giant dragons appear at the same time.
However, the location of Dragon Isles is not far from Northrend. With the flying speed of the dragons, they can reach it very quickly. When they can see the outline of Dragon Island across the sea, time vortices also appear high in the sky.
Under the leadership of Nozdormu, Bronze Dragons who had just arrived in this timeline also joined Dragon Aspects's camp.
"Nozdormu, why don't you come Wyrmrest Temple?"
Red Dragon Queen approached her brother and said in a gentle tone:
"We haven't seen each other in thousands of years, and you seem to be full of doubts when you come here."
"I just don't want to interfere with your judgment, Alexstrasza and Malygos."
Nozdormu did not hide his true thoughts.
It looked at Longdao and said in a gentle tone:
"You have Platinum Disc retrieved from Uldaman, which contains all the memories left by our common friend Tyr. The truth is hidden in it. There is no need for me to violate my duties and oaths and tell you about the concealed past.
I'm not hiding from you.
On the contrary, I hope that you two can make decisions as leaders without being interfered by my personal emotions."
"So, you've made your decision?"
The Weaver heard a "determination" from Nozdormu's words that he had not felt for a long time.
In the past, they would still be suspicious of Nozdormu's behavior of getting lost in the time network, but now Malygos has understood that Nozdormu's loss is more like "self-exile".
My brother has been living between duty and justice, and it has always been painful.
Now, it finally doesn't have to endure that pain.
Thinking of this, Malygos sighed and said:
"Thank you for your candor, Nozdormu. I promise that I will make the decision in the most rational state."
"Well, I doubt that."
Nozdormu shrugged and glanced at Alexstrasza again.
Bronze Dragon Aspect and Red Dragon Queen flew to the left and right next to the Weaver, ready to grab Malygos who would definitely become furious after a while.
Sure enough, when the huge formation of three-color dragons approached the coast of Dragon Isles, those strange green dragons that had changed after World Mother gave them "permission to undergo plastic surgery" were already patrolling near the coast.
The direction flying from Northrend happens to be the territory of the Green Dragon Legion ten thousand years ago. They call it "Shade Sanctuary". There are Green Dragon Legion's ancient buildings here, hidden among the lush woodland.
But the most eye-catching one is Dream Gate.
That is the oldest entrance to Emerald Dream. Only through this door can you reach the real ancient territory of the Green Dragon Legion.
But the green dragons flying around here are not the problem. The real problem is the black dragons mixed in with the green dragons!
Those executioners!
Those traitors!
They were flapping their pitch-black wings so openly, and were led by a strange-looking black dragon and parked on the rocks of Green Dragon Coast. It seemed that they were specifically waiting for the arrival of the three-color dragons so that they could fly back to the glorious city "Valdrakken" where the dragons once lived.
Just as Nozdormu expected, Malygos was immediately furious when he saw those black dragons.
Even though the Weaver has been trying to keep himself calm, how can the hatred of thousands of years be eliminated so easily?
With a roar, it stirred up cold wind and rushed towards the black dragons. Then it was pinned down by Bronze Dragon Aspect and Red Dragon Queen, one on the left and one on the right. The Bronze Dragonss who had been prepared also released VanCleef's surrounding time stop, and fixed the Blue Dragons who wanted to rush out to kill the black dragons in the air.
You can't fight at this time.
Moreover, those black dragons are very pure. The source of their pollution has been purified, and the individual has experienced the removal of filth from Void Master, and has returned to the most original state of the black dragons.
Some of the more "fashionable" black dragons have also used their power from World Mother. They shape themselves into the same strange and strange looks as the green dragons, but the black dragons are proud of their beautiful obsidian-like scales, so most of them are dark in color.
Their number is indeed small.
Even the most miserable Blue Dragon had hundreds of adult dragons and young dragons here today, but the total number of black dragons was only thirty or forty.
At this time, Blackhorn, who was among the black dragons, was swaying its tail helplessly on the rocks. There was also a small golden black dragon on its big head. The latter seemed to be disturbed, so it raised its head in confusion and looked at the giant dragons in the distance.
It let out an excited cry, flapped the wings of the young dragon, and wanted to take off to greet those powerful dragons, but was held down by Blackhorn with its claws.
Don't go there, little fool!
Blue Dragon will bite you to death. They are full of hatred and don't care how "prominent" your origins are.
"They are very angry, and this is even when "Neltharion" does not appear."
Next to Blackhorn, "Reservist Earth Warder" Sabellian, who was allowed by World Mother to temporarily lead the black dragon, grinned. This gloomy guy raised his thorny dragon horns that were even more exaggerated at this time, and his eyes were full of eagerness to try.
It said to Blackhorn:
"Tell me, if the Blue Dragons attack us on this occasion, can we use the power given by World Mother to fight back?"
"That's enough!"
Blackhorn cursed:
"We have finally ushered in peace, so you should stop being a monster. Don't let the wheel of hatred spin anymore. We have shed enough blood in the past because of this."
"Hmph, I want peace, and the black dragons do need a territory to thrive."
Sabellian snorted and spurted pure lava fire from his nostrils.
It stretched out its voice and said:
"I'm afraid they won't agree. Even though all the Fallens have been executed by our own hands, Blue Dragons obviously don't intend to let go of us, the good black dragons, who are trying to bring things back to order.
Obviously, in the face of world interests, the narrow-minded Blue Dragons are still unwilling to give up their past grudges.
I am now beginning to look forward to how angry the Weaver will be after Neltharion comes over."
"Uh, speaking of this."
Blackhorn asked with some confusion:
"What did Neltharion do?"
"Shh, don't ask."
Sabellian showed a subtle expression and said:
"Asking is the secret! But it will come soon, let's wait and see the good show."
"Click"
The black dragon's claw latched into the base of a black dragon stone statue in front of him, shattering the bedrock used to conceal the secrets, and activating the hidden compartment as the mechanism rotated.
Under the gaze of Onyxia and Lady Aegwynn, the things hidden in the stone statue finally emerged.
A disc engraved with special symbols, dotted with dim round crystals in the center, looked like nothing mysterious at first glance, but when Aegwynn stretched out his hand to take it out and compared it with Dragon Soul in the other hand, everyone around him saw the similarities between the two discs.
From design ideas to functionality, they are almost identical.
The difference between the One is that Dragon Soul was designed to absorb the power of Dragon Aspects, but the dim disk obtained by Aegwynn was a "semi-finished product".
It's clearly designed to be wilder and more dangerous.
"Shadowed Heart."
Aegwynn stroked the ancient disc in his hand and said:
"According to Xal'atath, this ancient artifact is the prototype of Dragon Soul. Neltharion once wanted to design an artifact that could convert all power into the void. But at that time, it obviously still had sense and was unwilling to succumb to the temptation of the void, so it personally sealed the artifact in the stone statue of Forbidden Isle."
"But we've been here before!"
Onyxia looked at Shadowed Heart in Aegwynn's hand, and she said doubtfully:
"If Vigilant knew this artifact was here before, why didn't he take it away?"
Aegwynn was silent.
She didn't know the reason. In fact, Star Soul Spokesperson was also shocked after learning that Shadowed Heart was hiding underground in Forbidden Isle.
Since this thing can be used by Xal'atath's plan to extinguish the sun, it should be properly kept instead of being hidden in Dracthyr's "birthplace".
She couldn't answer because she didn't know what Diakum was thinking. It couldn't be that she was in a hurry and forgot to take it last time, right?
Just when they were silent, a ray of light suddenly lit up in this abandoned place underground on an outlying island. Under everyone's surprised gaze, the figure of Diakum appeared from the light.
This shocked Aegwynn, who had witnessed Diakum merge into An'she's divine body before. She thought Diakum had completed occupying Sun God's remaining body so quickly.
But after careful observation, Star Soul Spokesperson complained:
"You actually used the "Faith Incarnation" trick on yourself? But why did you create this weak Divine Descent projection? Don't tell me that you, a guy who is one step away from Lesser God, can't even create a demigod-level power projection?
I will definitely laugh at you."
"That's not the case, uh, how to put it specifically?"
Diakum scratched his head and sighed:
"I encountered a little "trouble", I underestimated the difficulty of that matter, in order to ensure that I can still leave some sane echoes when the worst happens, so I specially made this "Faith Incarnation".
This is an attempt, and I'm not sure whether Faith Incarnation can avoid the impact of Eclipse's transformation.
But if I am swallowed by darkness, Aegwynn, if everything goes well, I will have to trouble you to make a Rock Body for me to store my remaining sanity."
"Then you'd better find a safe place to store this incarnation, just like those Lichs find a place to hide their phylacteries."
Aegwynn leaned on his staff and scolded:
"Your incarnation is too weak!
I even doubt whether it can have the combat effectiveness of the Legend. It is obviously unable to keep up with the various events we are facing today.
I have previously encountered a certain Lich who hid his phylactery in the dwarves' dam, the one Loch Modan. Considering that once the dam collapses, Wetlands will be annihilated, so the dwarves will protect that dam at all costs, thereby protecting the cunning Lich's phylactery.
Maybe you can also learn from this wonderful idea."
"Let me ask, what happened to Lich, the one with a good brain?"
Faith Incarnation from Diakum took Shadowed Heart, put it in his hand and rubbed it for observation. He asked, and Aegwynn curled his lips and said:
"Dead!
The one I killed by my own hands did not even need to fight. I took the phylactery out of the dwarf dam with an easy "Stone to Mud" spell, and then smashed it to pieces in front of the desperate Lich.
Well, that was the easiest battle I have ever fought in my life as a legend."
"Yeah, who would want to hide their phylactery among mortal artifacts in a world with all kinds of strange magic?"
Dick snorted.
His condition at the moment was actually not very good, but he did not create this incarnation for fighting. While holding Shadowed Heart, he looked back at the "man in black" who had been following Aegwynn and Onyxia.
Just now it broke the seal of the stone statue and took out this Shadowed Heart.
"I didn't take it away last time because the seal of this thing is connected with the seal of Dragon Isles. The former Neltharion obviously didn't intend to let this thing see the light of day again. It's impossible to take this thing out before the seal of Dragon Isles is opened.
The most important thing is that there are no more than five people in the world who know the existence of Shadowed Heart.
Deathwing is dead, Stone-Scale Dragon Iridikron is still in jail, Xal'atath is restrained by me in Eclipse Fragment, and I can't even take two steps outside in person.
So, putting it here is actually the safest way to seal it."
Diakum explained the questions of Aegwynn and Onyxia, and then he said to the man in black:
"How does it feel?"
"It feels like I'm listening to other people's stories, and it's quite interesting."
The man in black replied quite gently.
This attitude made Dick roll his eyes and said:
"Okay, I hope you can still be in such a good mood when you face your angry brothers and sisters later. Send us there, don't keep Dragon Kings waiting."
"I want to emphasize, your distinguished Light Weaver."
The man in black raised his hand to "activate" the ground where everyone was standing, and said warmly:
"Those are not my "brothers and sisters", I haven't even met them! But the Ysera "eldest sister" is really gentle, she wants to teach me to be a good Dragon King, and I also enjoy chatting with her and hearing from her the badass things she did before I heard the name.
I think that reminds me of what life is like at its worst!
After all, my name is just "Neltharion".
In fact, if you are willing, I can change my name now to "Gou Sheng" or "Er Ya" or something like that, if this can make them angry Dispersion."
"Okay, Neltharion II, stop making these bad jokes. No matter how good your jokes are, you won't be able to escape from the beating after a while."
"But think on the bright side, Your Excellency, laughing out loud when being beaten is better than crying like a pussy, right?"
What's more, it's not certain who will hit whom.
If I have to be beaten for no reason just because I inherited this unfortunate name, then I think the world is really hopeless.
Ha, you laughed, right? Onyxia, look, there are still people who can appreciate my humor. So, what do you think of the suggestion I made last time?
You call me dad and I call you sister!
Let's talk about our own things"
