After killing Xavius, there is only one problem left in front of all Dream Guardian, Nightmare who was spread by Xavius to all Emerald Dream.
These Nightmares that have spread have reached the point where they will expand on their own if not dealt with. Fortunately, the Druids were previously assigned by Cenarion masters and apprentices to various parts of the dreamland to deal with these Nightmare problems.
In order to prevent the lurking Nightmare from erupting in the future, Ysera has also specially assigned a large number of Green Dragonflight to patrol the dreamland at any time, and will immediately issue a warning once signs of an Nightmare outbreak are found.
In the long years before, although Green Dragonflights also shouldered the responsibility of maintaining Emerald Dream, in most cases they were maintaining the balance between Emerald Dream and reality. Seriously speaking, the workload is not particularly heavy. Most Green Dragonflights stay in Emerald Dream because they prefer the environment of Emerald Dream.
It wasn't until they later discovered the signs of Nightmare that the Green Dragonflights felt a little nervous, but they still didn't think this thing would pose any threat. It wasn't until Xavius launched a massive explosion of Nightmare's power that the Dreamers realized the threat of Emerald Nightmare.
Although Xavius is dead now, no one can guarantee whether the king of Satyr, who has experienced resurrection before, will come back to life. In order to prevent this guy from being caught off guard when he appears in the dream again, Ysera feels it is necessary to establish a strict early warning system.
Time is in a hurry now, and Ysera has no time to set up a specific plan. We can only let Green Dragonflight patrol like this for a while, and then gradually establish a strict monitoring system.
Seeing Ysera assigning tasks to Green Dragonflight and Wild God, and finally getting a little free time, Aaron stepped forward and asked Ysera whether he should go back, but Ysera did not agree.
"Next, we need to trouble you to go to a place with us." Ysera and Freya looked at each other. They seemed to have reached a consensus. They lowered their heads again and said to Aaron, "We need to use Tidestone to do something now, and then we need you to send this stone back."
"Need to use Tidestone?" Aaron thought for a moment and glanced at the ancient tree behind him, "Are you trying to solve the problem of Shaladrassil?"
"Yes, the connection between Shaladrassil and Emerald Dream is too close. If the corruption problem of this tree cannot be solved as soon as possible, I am always worried about what will happen." There is a little worry in Ysera's tone. The connection between World Tree and Emerald Dream is extraordinary. From Broken Crown This can be seen in the case of Vordrassil.
Vordrassil only serves as a channel for Old Gods to spread Nightmare. There is nothing wrong with the ancient tree itself. The connection between Shaladrassil and Emerald Dream is even closer than that of Vordrassil. It is definitely not a good thing that the entire tree has been in a state of corruption.
"In that case, let me wait here for a while." Aaron thought about it. Judging from the time it took Freya to purify Shaladrassil's projection, it shouldn't take too long, and waiting for such a while is not a big problem.
"Don't worry, it won't take too long." Ysera and Freya also had a rough estimate of the time required, saying that Aaron only needs to wait here for a day at most before leaving.
After saying that, Ysera and Freya opened a portal under Shaladrassil. On the other side of the portal is a world dominated by black and red, which should be where the corrupted Shaladrassil is.
Although it is not easy to open the dream portal, it is not a big deal for the two Dream Guardian who possess the power of Titans. It can be said that they can open the door wherever they want.
Aaron was very interested in walking through the door to see the excitement, but because he entered Emerald Dream in a soul state, his actions in the dream were the same as in reality. Even because of his connection with Tear of Elune, he could still use Holy Light normally.
But if Aaron leaves from this door, he will be in the form of a pure soul when he appears in reality. He is extremely fragile and easy to be harmed. It is also easy for something to go wrong when passing through the portal.
These were all explained by Malfurion to Aaron, which still involved a lot of knowledge about Emerald Dream and reality. Aaron was a little dizzy, but he understood that there were risks in entering, so he gave up the idea.
Seeing that Aaron realized the danger, Malfurion also said goodbye to Aaron. Archdruid also had a lot of things to do. It was impossible and unnecessary to stay here with Aaron and so on.
Wild God left before Malfurion. In the end, Aaron was left alone waiting under the ancient tree. Out of boredom, Aaron kept waiting. Every now and then, I would look at the dream portal that persisted, and I would always have the urge to go in and take a look. Fortunately, Malfurion's warning still rang in my ears, and Aaron did not make any dangerous move in the end.
In order to distract his attention, Aaron simply ran to the other side of the ancient tree, where the tree hole was. Aaron simply entered the tree hole to see what was going on inside.
The size of this tree hole is comparable to the large hole inside Vordrassil, but this tree is still a complete tree, resulting in a lack of light in the tree hole.
Standing at the entrance of the hole, Aaron tried to shoot a Holy Light to illuminate the situation inside, but failed to find the boundary of the tree hole. Aaron could only walk down along the passage inside the tree hole for footing.
As Aaron gradually went deeper into the tree hole, he had a vague feeling that the tree hole was shaking, which made Aaron mutter in his heart, "Could this tree have turned into Treant? If a World Tree turned into Treant, what a terrifying existence it would be."
Aaron has seen many Treant before. Although those Treant that have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years are very large, their height is only twenty or thirty meters at most. There may not be any taller ones, but Aaron has never seen them before.
Just when Aaron felt that something was wrong with the tree, he heard a familiar but unfamiliar voice coming from outside the cave. "Hahahaha, Ysera, you finally left."
The owner of the voice hurriedly turned around to leave the tree hole in search of the sound. Before he could break out, he was tied up by a vine that came from nowhere.
The vines that trapped Aaron suddenly pulled Aaron to the ground, and then dragged Aaron out. After leaving the tree hole, they hung Aaron again. Ascending, Aaron was finally lifted upside down to an altitude of tens of meters. What appeared in Aaron's field of vision was a wooden face that looked somewhat familiar. "Why are you alive again?!"
