In the Eversong Woods, amidst the advancing allied forces.

Alleria's face was grim as she rode her Strider, swaying back and forth, completely ignoring Boss Hu on the ornate carriage platform beside her.

"Hey, come on up, I need to talk to you!"

Boss Hu, seated on the lavishly decorated throne on the platform, kept waving at the female ranger.

"No, shut up!"

"Hey, I really have something important, come up, Uncle will show you a treasure, hehe..."

On another smaller carriage platform not far away, Dath'Remar glanced at the Divine Lord who was openly behaving inappropriately, then at the resolute female ranger, and decided to pretend he saw nothing.

"Come up, my dear sister, Uncle wants to have a heart-to-heart with you..."

"Hurry up, I command you in the name of the Titan Divine Lord, for the glory of the Pantheon, come up..."

"Alleria, the Divine Lord is calling you, I think you should..."

"Please, Your Majesty, shut up too!"

Dath'Remar, who couldn't help but butt in, was interrupted by Alleria before he could finish.

Finally, with a snap of his fingers, the female ranger appeared on Boss Hu's carriage platform with a look of helplessness.

"What is it? The allied forces are advancing, and I'm responsible for the deployment of the Windrunner Ranger Corps. I don't have time for idle chat."

"I told you I had something important, and you didn't believe me... Here, take it. When we fight the Trolls, this little thing can protect you in emergencies."

Hu Feng pouted and stuffed a necklace, somewhat resembling an eyeball of the Eye of Truth, into the female ranger's hand. Seeing her about to return it, he snapped his fingers again, and the necklace directly appeared around Alleria's neck.

"Predestined Fate, it can help you dodge various attacks and has about a fifty to sixty percent chance of reflecting the attacks back. I was in a hurry, so I didn't pay close attention, but the chance should be pretty high anyway. Make do with it."

"Another divine artifact?"

"Uh... not really, just a little Titan creation. Do you think divine artifacts are that easy to make?"

"Got it." Alleria, her thoughts unreadable, nimbly dismounted the carriage platform and returned to her Strider, then rode the plump bird to inspect the ranger corps.

At this moment, Dath'Remar immediately sidled up.

"Divine Lord, you see... Quel'Thalas doesn't have many high-class items..."

"So what... make your own..." Boss Hu glanced sideways at the Sun King, who was speaking with ulterior motives, feigning ignorance.

"Uh... we ourselves... hmm..." Dath'Remar, his words cut off, awkwardly searched for an opening.

Hu Feng, not wanting to tease him further, waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, after the battle is over, bring your Disintegration Staff over, and I'll modify it for you."

Dath'Remar was overjoyed at this and immediately bowed.

"Thank you, Titan Divine Lord!"

After the Sun King also left, Boss Hu, finally enjoying some peace, no longer had his mind on Quel'Thalas.

Originally, Hu Feng had planned to find Deathwing Neltharion, who had gone into hiding, and bring him to Kalimdor during his trip to the Eastern Kingdoms.

But after foreseeing the future a few days ago, Hu Feng decided to change his plan.

Deathwing would be of great use later. This Black Dragon King, having escaped the corruption of the Old Gods and N'Zoth, was currently in a state of fluctuating mental health. When he went mad, he was reckless and unrestrained...

So, there was no point in finding him now. After all, the Night Elves were in a state of unparalleled peace, with no enemies around, and no need for Deathwing's assistance.

That guy was indeed cunning and sly, currently hiding deep beneath the Maelstrom in the center of the Endless Sea.

The Maelstrom was the location where the Well of Eternity exploded during the War of the Ancients and the Great Sundering. Deep beneath the Maelstrom lay an underwater space called the Deeprock Continent, which was the territory of various elemental beings.

The remaining four color Dragon Aspects were now frantically searching for Deathwing and his Black Dragon Legion, so it wasn't a wise decision to let him appear now. Moreover, Deathwing's hiding place was incredibly secret, and the Dragon Legions couldn't find this most wanted criminal.

Thinking of this, Hu Feng looked towards a carriage platform at the front of the army, which was the command platform for the human forces.

General Lothar...

It was estimated that after this Troll Wars, his territory of Lordaeron would be established.

Having foreseen the future, Hu Feng naturally knew what one of General Lothar's descendants would do.

Kill him or his descendants in advance?

Forget it. Although Hu Feng didn't mind changing some Predestined Fates concerning his surroundings, he didn't want to drastically disrupt and alter the established timeline.

To put it bluntly, what would happen to them, and what business was it of his? What substantial harm could it cause to the entire planet of Azeroth?

He wasn't a righteous saint, nor a benevolent savior, so he only needed to manage his own affairs and the core Titan World Soul of Azeroth.

What's more... precisely because of the advantage of knowing the future, he could make arrangements in advance, reap some benefits, and guide the situation and circumstances he wished to see.

As the saying goes, if one doesn't look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them. He had to firmly grasp the helm of the Night Elf ship and not, as in Predestined Fate, be oblivious to the outside world and live as a shut-in on the World Tree. That would be a waste.

The influence on Quel'Thalas must not cease, and maintaining a presence in the human kingdoms was equally important.

As for humans, they were a major pillar of the Azeroth world, so their reputation naturally had to be cultivated.

And the High Elves... since there was room for maneuvering, Hu Feng didn't intend to let it pass.

While Dath'Remar, an elder, was still alive, the Night Elves must seize the opportunity to exert influence from the suzerain state.

More accurately, it's the patriarchal influence from Suramar's Highborne class; both share the same origin, and their connection cannot be severed.

Furthermore, with no other disruptors on Kalimdor at this moment, it's even more crucial to seize the opportunity, solidify the foundation, and expand the Night Elves' racial influence.

So, after some more time, once the young Human race develops further, the Night Elves' plan for opening up to the outside world can be implemented.

As for Darnassus atop the World Tree Teldrassil, that pure elven city is somewhat isolationist and not a suitable gateway for opening up.

Therefore, Suramar it is. It can be built into Kalimdor's hub for external exchange and an international metropolis.

At this moment, the wind stirred through the trees, causing the Eye of Truth banner on the carriage platform to flap noisily.

Hu Feng glanced at the Nightborne guards standing like sculptures on the platform, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Under his rule, the Night Elves would form their own distinct lineage.

And when the time is right, his position as the ruler behind the scenes should also be adjusted.

Eternal Night God-Emperor sounds pretty good.
