When the "high paraplegic" Argus Lord was sent back to his loyal planet, the most important core component of Everything Unification Field, Origin Engine, had been installed on World Heart.

This system obviously still needs a wave of debugging, and it must be debugged in the presence of Argus Star Soul.

Therefore, the Lord barely appeared in the outside world and was directly sent back to the center of the magma where Extinguisher was born. It was a special space that could not be reached by any physical means.

The battle on the surface is not over yet, but the Warriors of the Restoration Army have already begun to retreat.

It's not that they are too tired to fight. In fact, these Warriors are very powerful now. Let alone continue to fight, even if they are ordered to launch a decisive attack on Twisting Nether now, there are still a lot of fanatics who will choose to carry out the execution.

It's just that the debugging of Everything Unification Field will greatly interfere with the life forms of mortals, not to mention the brilliance that formats all things when it is finally activated. Even Star Soul will be reshaped, let alone other lower-level life forms.

But Restoration Armys still had high morale when they evacuated.

They have defeated those demons in every corner of the world that has been ravaged by Fel for tens of thousands of years, and have beaten those arrogant people hard on their homeland.

They won a grand victory in their lost hometown, and this victory became even more precious and glorious with the news of Dark Titan's defeat.

Warriors sang songs, shouted, and cheered back to every evacuation point, and in the acceptance and recovery of the starship, they were taken away from this world that was about to return to purity.

Those starships won't be far away.

They will carry every Warrior who participates in the war, and witness and record the rebirth of Argus in this galaxy. That will be the best and most perfect relief for these Warrior who stick to World Vow.

When the world is reshaped, Restoration Army will be the first group of wanderers to set foot on their pure hometown, where they can vent their longings and attachments that have been suppressed for countless years.

But after all, some people will not evacuate.

For example, White-clad Death God and his undead, or the demons who were forced into a desperate situation and could only follow the Conqueror in the final doomsday battle with those Eredar undead who longed for revenge.

No one has intervened or stopped this fight.

The two sides will fight until the last second of the world's rebirth in the old era, and turn themselves into dust in this rebirth, with "ashes returning to ashes, soil returning to soil" as each other's ending in the true sense.

And at this moment when the Warriors were evacuating, but the undead and demons were still fighting for every inch of land on the battlefield of Burning Throne, Star Hunter Illidan, who had already boarded Illidari Hunter Ship, received a strange "call".

"What does Argus Lord call me?"

The tired but excited Illidan Stormrage leaned on his command chair and asked in surprise:

"Why me? I'm not Eredar. Even if Star Soul wants to leave some information before rebirth, shouldn't he find Diakum or other Eredar?

My connection with this world is just a glimpse of it through the vision shown to me by Sargeras thousands of years ago, and the battle that took place here not long ago."

"Don't ask, just come with us."

Nether-Stalker's subordinate Ethereal Warlock spread his hands and said helplessly:

"How can the big shot explain things so clearly, but Vantage Point reminds us that we must invite you to World Heart. Vantage Point said that it is an opportunity that you will regret for the rest of your life if you refuse.

It says that this is related to the final split of Fel Force, but we are all Warlock in the void, and we don't know much about Fel, so we can't understand the mystery."

Illidan You will understand when you hear this.

He nodded, entrusted the affairs of the battle group to his adjutant Oturis, and called the hunting master Arantien to come, asking her to go to the starship hunting group where Krokul Clan was, communicate with Grand Executor Haddon there, and select the first batch of Eredar Demon Hunter from the group of Penitents as soon as possible.

After giving these instructions, Illidan followed the Warlocks in the void in front of him and left Hunter Ship alone.

They had to go to World Heart through a series of specially designed portals. However, on the way forward, the apprentice of Nether-Stalker made a strange suggestion to Illidan.

"Vantage Point will lead us to move to Draenor, where there are noble people that our Ethereal hermit faction must protect with all our strength. Vantage Point has been thinking about how to strengthen the power of us ruthless guardians, and then it discovered the unique career path of Demon Hunter."

That Ethereal Warlock rubbed his hands and whispered:

"If you can use this unique method to control Fel, maybe we can also try to use the same method to mobilize the void?

I mean, try to come up with "Void Hunter" or any other cool name, we don't care about these names, we just want to explore ways for mortals to contact the void and learn power more safely."

"Safe?"

Illidan was embarrassed for a moment, then sighed and said:

"This is the first time I have heard other people say that Demon Hunter's training can be described as "safe", but if you think about it carefully, we are talking about the void that corrodes everything. In comparison, the terrible losses and dangers in Demon Hunter's training are indeed nothing.

If you are determined to launch such an attempt, then after Illidari is repaired, I will send at least one hunter master to assist.

However, the power characteristics of Void and Fel are completely different, so you may have to build a training system from scratch."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to help."

Ethereal Warlock who followed Nether-Stalker laughed and said:

"The most fearless thing for Ethereal is to try. If we can create a new void path, not only Vantage Point, but also everyone in our faction will benefit from it. This is a good business with guaranteed profits."

Well, I've taken up too much of your time. Sir, please go in, Argus Lord is waiting for you."

This philistine guy made a "please" gesture.

Illidan did not hesitate and strode into the Ethereal portal in front of him. Amidst the wonderful sense of weightlessness and weak mental stimulation, he arrived at World Heart.

The "high paraplegic" Argus was leaning against the Lava Land filled with the aura of Fel. He created a relaxed posture and motioned Illidan to come closer with his eyes, but suddenly thought that this poor guy was blind and had been blind for ten thousand years, so he could only say:

"Come here, Illidan Stormrage, I have a legacy to leave to you."

"I'm still saying the same thing, sir, why me?"

Illidan did not accept this power rashly and joyfully.

His life experience was enough to make him very wary of this kind of power "coming to his door", but Argus didn't care. Star Soul Lord, who had accomplished great things with his own hands and was completely relaxed, said casually:

"Because someone recommended you to me, and after I spent some time learning about your life, I also think that no other mortal can control this power that I snatched from Sargeras.

If you are walking the path of Fel, you may have already prepared for it.

Because what I want to give you is not only a simple power, but also a terrible crisis and what can be called "self-sacrifice" Consecration.

Sargeras can no longer control the power of Fel alone.

Although most of the power of Twisting Nether is still in His hands, division is division. When there are clear factions and a person who is determined enough is willing to stand up and call for help, different camps will emerge even among demons.

It may take you a long, long time to form your own "Destruction Legion" to compete with those Burning Legion demons who are still walking the barbaric path.

But as long as you are determined enough, and as long as you don't die in Sargeras's endless pursuit, you can always do it.

It's really hard."

"Just from your description, I can understand the difficulty of this burden, but I can also imagine the glory I will bear when this road comes to the end. You want me to be the "caretaker" of Sargeras!"

Illidan had an evil smile on his stern face. He had obviously made a decision and said:

"As long as this ray of Fel's power in my hand does not return, Sargeras will not be able to modify Twisting Nether's laws at will as before. And once the devil's camp confrontation is formed, Burning Crusade will no longer spread to the Material Star Sea.

Indeed, I have had this idea for a long time, and I was reminded by your most outstanding child Diakum to think about the difference between "destruction and destruction".

Perhaps it was fate that placed such an opportunity in front of me.

Very good!

I'll take it!"

"So decisive?"

Argus said in surprise:

"Won't you take a few minutes to think about it? You know that once you accept this inheritance, you will be bound to Twisting Nether for the rest of your life.

Your camp will also change as a result.

I know that there are already many Kaldorei elves who regard you and your Demon Hunters as heroes in the dark. However, if you really shoulder this burden, you will not be the guardian and hero of the tribe.

In the future, you will put Twisting Nether's interests first in your actions."

"None of what I've done so far is to make other people appreciate me, and it's easy to please Fel."

Illidan waved his hand and said:

"It is nothing but killing and destruction, but Fel only cares about the fact of destruction and does not care about the form of destruction, let alone the object of destruction.

My hunters and I will be able to roam Twisting Nether and see those demons as targets for our destruction.

The more we kill, the more Fel loves us.

To be fair, Fel is really the most generous and tolerant force among the six forces. It just has stronger negative effects. If you want me to follow Holy Light Path of Diakum and ask me to go to High Heaven to recite scriptures, then I will sternly refuse.

However, you gave me the strength to turn Twisting Nether upside down, the mission to restrain Dark Titan so that it cannot come back, and the morality to hunt to the end of my life.

You have generously given me so much, how can I say no?

I don't want to refuse!"

He knelt down on one knee and said to Argus Lord in the heart of the magma filled with Fel storms:

"Please grant me this honor. I will inherit your will, and I will promise you that as long as Illidari is alive, we will never allow the devil to set foot on this sea of stars that we have recaptured.

Burning Crusade will never appear again!

But Illidari's Demon-Slaying Crusade will be announced today, and this will be the eternal glory of Slayer!"

This enthusiasm for hunting demons scared even Argus Lord.

After several seconds, He said:

"I still don't know enough about you. You remind me of Sargeras. Like him, you are trying to find some traces of order or other beautiful things from Path of Destruction.

But you are different from Him.

I hope the burden I give you will not crush you in the future, and I wish you good luck, Slayer."

Argus said, turning a ray of Fel's power that he had snatched from Sargeras during the battle into a faint green starlight, integrating it into Illidan's body.

This is a legacy.

Just like the Sunflare inheritance that Diakum originally received from An'she.

It will not be transformed into power immediately. Illidan needs to keep moving along this inheritance path and sum up his own path in the future, but Illidan's talent cannot be ignored.

He will definitely come up with a real "surprise" in the future, the kind that will make Sargeras grit his teeth.

Illidan didn't stay here long either.

He has no friendship with Argus Lord, not to mention, the horn sound from the Restoration Army urging Warrior to evacuate has sounded three times, which means that Everything Unification Field's debugging will come soon.

Brother Egg did not intend to use himself as a test subject to try out the formatting effect of Everything Unification Field, so he left here after exchanging a few words.

Argus watched him leave. Just when he wanted to close his eyes and savor his short life, he felt an "uninvited guest" coming to his door.

He opened his eyes again and saw Diakum who had changed into a Priest robe, but still couldn't hide his embarrassment, appeared in this World Heart.

His most outstanding child holds a scroll in his hands, just like a funeral bearer preparing for a funeral.

He came to "send him off".

"You should rest for a while."

Argus said softly:

"Even if I don't have to feel it, I can hear every bone in your body screaming. They have persisted to the limit. Today's battle with Sargeras is enough to prevent you from returning to your full strength for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years.

You most likely came straight here without taking any rest.

I can hold on a little longer.

They said the debugging would be completed before dawn, still an hour or two away."

"Only an hour or two left."

Diakum ignored Argus Lord's nagging complaints. He strolled past the still boiling Fel magma and finally sat on a rock opposite the Lord. He opened the scripture again but did not recite it.

He said:

"It will be difficult for us to see you again after you leave. I know that under the protection of Supreme Star Soul, another you will eventually grow up and finally wake up.

He may have the same breath, the same power or even the same face as you.

But to me, He is not you.

There is always only one Lord, and He is about to get rid of the entanglements of the world and embark on a journey to find peace.

Just like a child's desire to accompany his aging parents, you were the one taking care of me when I started my life, and now it's my turn to see you off on this last journey."

"You are talking as if I will not learn about you and me from other people when I wake up in the future."

Argus is quite open-minded.

He smiled and said:

"I firmly believe that the past will never die. It is hidden in every corner of this world. When I remember these unforgettable pasts, you and I can still meet again at dawn, and you will not suddenly disappear from the sea of stars.

You can't, right?"

Diakum shrugged and showed a mysterious smile.

He did not tell Argus Lord that a strange "countdown" was beating on the Character Card in front of him, and the reflection of another "world" was becoming clearer and clearer in his eyes.

He keeps saying that he is Warrior of Light passing by. Now that Warrior of Light has done everything he should do, it may be time to set off again.

After bidding farewell to the Lord, Diakum also wants to leave this sea of stars.

He really doesn't know if he can come back, nor what he will encounter on the next journey, but what is certain is that if someone prevents him from going home, he will not hesitate to let the other person experience the power of "Dawn God-Sword".

"Look, those two guys are still fighting."

Argus turned to look in the direction of Burning Throne, and said to Diakum in a sighing and teasing tone:

"Sometimes I really feel that if either Kil'jaeden or Velen were a girl, these two guys would definitely be able to stage a touching love story in the sea of stars that would make people cry.

Although I am very moved by this kind of passionate bond between good men, it still feels weird."

"Trust me, you're not the only one who feels this way."

Vigilant sighed and said:

"But compared to the troubled lives of these two guys, please don't care about these unimportant things.

Do you need me to recite scriptures for you?

To be honest, I don't know if this is useful, but there is such a tradition in many People of Light worlds.

It is said that in the recitation of sacred scriptures, those who leave can shed all their heavy burdens and leave all their sins and reluctances in the mortal world. Only relaxed souls can embark on the road to peace."

"Read it, it will save you from crying later."

The open-minded giant waved his hand and said:

"It also saves me from crying for a while, which is so unseemly."
