Glorious Years

The next day, Ji Feng woke up on the grass outside the stone house. The sunlight was dazzling, and it wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that he was groggily awakened.

"Big Brother, hurry up and get up! The Elven warriors are here, everyone is waiting for you!" A familiar voice reached his ears. Ji Feng stretched and looked at the person in front of him. With fluffy ears and a warm, sweet smile, it was Li Luo.

"Mmm..."

Rubbing his eyes, Ji Feng got up from the grass. He saw several wine glasses placed around him, all empty.

Last night, Illidan had brought equipment and supplies, including a lot of wine. To ensure no one got drunk on the way home, Ji Feng had brought out all the fruit wine to celebrate. He had drunk quite a bit himself last night.

"Hamee!"

Ji Feng yawned and looked at the Pandaren and Elves not far away. He saw about ten Elven warriors standing in front of the stone house, with backpacks behind them.

Adventure, battle!

These Elven warriors, who came from civilian backgrounds, were unwilling to live an ordinary life in Sindragosa Village. They yearned for honor and fame. They were here to follow Ji Feng on his conquests, and they could now be considered Ji Feng's disciples.

"Master Ji..." Seeing Ji Feng awake, Yao Shi and the other Elves cupped their fists and bowed.

"Haha, it seems everyone is ready. Haha, it's time to set off. Now that we have elite equipment and ample supplies, it's time to return to the village." Ji Feng said with a smile, patting Yao Shi and the others on the shoulders.

Now, Kang's injuries had also recovered a lot. While Ji Feng was talking with everyone, Li Luo also carried Kang out of the stone house.

"Big Brother, you're really something. I can't believe you gained the approval of Lord Falondar and General Illidan..." Kang had been unconscious and hadn't participated in last night's bonfire party. It wasn't until this morning that he learned about the "legend" Ji Feng had created. In his opinion, Ji Feng had gained the strong support of the Elves in just one day, which was nothing short of a legend.

"Third Brother, this is nothing. As the saying goes, if you survive a great disaster, you will have great fortune... In my opinion, you will achieve even more brilliant accomplishments than I in the future..."

"Alright, it's about time. Let's go, destination! Shadowwind Village..."

After a brief conversation with Kang, Ji Feng waved his hand and pointed towards the pier. It was finally time to return to the village. This journey would be his ascent to greatness.

Previously, when he defeated Shanbu, he had received a system quest: The Road Home... Upon completing the quest, he would be able to unlock his innate skill system. At that time, his combat power would increase by more than double. He was filled with anticipation for this return to the village.

Not only him, but the other Pandaren and Elven warriors were also full of anticipation. At the pier, a moving song began to play.

"The sound of the wind signals the return home, in his life, it seems tinged with melancholy. The meaning of black and white skin to him is a lifetime of dedication. In the struggle of skin color, time has turned possession into loss, tired eyes carry hope, today only a residual shell remains, welcoming glorious years. Holding freedom in the wind and rain, a lifetime of wandering and struggle, confidence can change the future, who can achieve this?"

"Can there be no boundary between skin colors? In this land, there is no distinction between you and me, high or low. The beauty shown by colorful colors is because it does not separate each color."

Meanwhile, as Ji Feng departed from Sindragosa Village, a thousand miles away, on Thunder Peak, within the Mogu Royal Court, a major event that would change all of Pandaria was about to unfold. The Thunder King had already begun preparations to "cleanse" Pandaria.

Thunder Peak, Storm Court.

The Thunder King stood high on the steps, with countless Mogu generals and warriors kneeling below him. In this era, the Thunder King's Court was extremely prosperous. All the Mogu warlords who had been famous for centuries now served the Thunder King's Court. The number of famous figures kneeling in the court today was truly immeasurable.

Chuang Wang Qi Ang, Madman Meng En, Swift Swallow Subutai, Eternal Shadow Tien, knelt in the front row outside the court, they were the future "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Mogu Mountain Treasury. Supreme Du Yang, Du Yang II, Guo Lai, Mo Wo, Cao Di, Lao Fei, the future emperors were still just vassal kings. Tie Qiong, Shanbu, Mo Feng, Tie Mu Jia, Shadow Lord Sai Duo, Sacrificer Bao Lai, Soul Ripper Gao Hun, Iron Fist Gou Chang, Butcher Bai Jin... countless Mogu warriors were also among them.

Arriving in this era, Ji Feng would have to contend with such a vast and prosperous empire, a unique empire, the most prosperous empire in Pandaria's history.

"I am the Thunder God, the Thunder King, the king of kings, the god of gods, I am the ruler of Pandaria..."

"Now, I am preparing to annex the Zandalari tribe and the Ophidian Tol'vir Dynasty..."

"If the Tol'vir Dynasty is incorporated into the Thunder King's Empire, then the empire's Mogu army will march north to destroy the Elf Empire. If the Tol'vir Dynasty refuses my request, then I will personally lead the army to destroy the Tol'vir Dynasty. Regardless of whether the Tol'vir Dynasty agrees or not, before that, I hope to eliminate all unsettling factors. It is time for the cleansing."

Standing on the gilded steps, the Thunder King's voice echoed in all directions, and his voice reverberated throughout Thunder Peak. At this moment, countless Mogu soldiers prostrated themselves in worship.

"Fearful Wasteland and Valley of the Four Winds will be handed over to the four great generals Qi Ang, Meng En, Subutai, and Tien. The Yanggu Iron Cavalry will be entrusted to you four."

"Your subordinate obeys."

"As for the Valley of the Four Winds and the Kasan'gar Jungle, they will be handed over to Du Yang, Du Yang II, Mo Wo, Guo Lai, Cao Di, and Lao Fei. You will command the Yugu Iron Cavalry..."

"We obey your command."

"The remaining generals and warriors will cleanse Kun-Lai Summit and the Emerald Forest for me... You will command the Angu Iron Cavalry..."

"Your will be done."

The Mogu race revered the Thunder King, followed by the vassal kings, all of whom were the Thunder King's offspring. Below them were the Thunder God's direct lineage, and the "Four Heavenly Kings" held this status. Warlords and warriors were not considered much here.

The Fearful Wasteland and Valley of the Four Winds had endless Mantid armies, while the Valley of the Four Winds and Kasan'gar Jungle were filled with wild ox people and Hozen clans. Compared to these places, Kun-Lai Summit and the Emerald Forest only had Pandaren and Jinyu descendants. Regarding the deployment of troops, the Thunder King believed he had made the most reasonable arrangements.

The Yanggu Iron Cavalry was the most powerful, followed by the Yugu Iron Cavalry, and finally the Angu Iron Cavalry. The Angu Iron Cavalry was about to attack Kun-Lai Summit. In the Thunder King's opinion, the Pandaren were the weakest, and he completely underestimated them now.

"The army will depart in three days... The eternal foundation of the Thunder King's Empire begins now! I am the will of heaven!"

"Thunder King! Thunder King!"

Rolling thunder filled the sky, and thunderous roars echoed from Thunder Peak, shrouded in layers of mist. However, even this momentum could not break through the endless, thick dark clouds. The Thunder King's era was like these clouds, carrying a sense of gloom.

(The writing of this book has officially opened the first act, the confrontation between the Thunder King's Empire and the Pandaren, the integration and struggle of the Pandaren with the hundred races of Pandaria. This first chapter is the glorious era of the Pandaren.)
