This is the Throne of the Elements, the last gathering place of elements in Outland, the last land of freedom. ◢щЩш. suimEnG.1a..
Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind—four Legendary elemental beings—gather here, communicating with the remaining Shaman in an attempt to find a way to break the Cipher of Damnation.
Having lost their connection with the world itself, the elements flew into a rage.
Furthermore, because the entire planet shattered, more than 90% of the elemental creatures on this planet disappeared. The remaining elemental creatures were no longer able to give birth to or support sufficiently powerful Elemental Lords, or even weaker elemental Demigod.
The four most powerful elemental beings in the entire Outland are these four:
" Firefury " Incineratus, " Waterfury " Aborius, " Earthfury " Gordawg, " Airfury " Kalandrios.
It's only at the High-tier Legendary level. This is already the strongest elemental creature that the elemental power in the still active Outland can support. It's impossible for anything stronger to be born.
How tragic.
Considering the numerous elemental Demigod in the Elemental Plane of Azeroth, and the elementals of Outland, it's truly a pitiful sight.
They're not even as good as the four minor Elemental Spirits.
Jiang Jie naturally had no interest in them.
A small island, surrounded by haphazardly placed stone pillars, lies in the middle of a turbulent river. A waterfall cascades down from the mountain peaks to the north, forming this natural paradise.
Jiang Jie stood in the middle, opposite him was the leader of the Broken, "Prophet" Nobundo.
At this moment, he is discussing the principles of elemental balance with Nobundo, as a later scholar.
He has already learned:
Nobundo and the elements reached an agreement:
For the sake of this world itself, they will communicate with the Orcs Shaman to open a green channel for the Draenei and will not harm them, provided that the Draenei abide by the rules and do not overstep them.
This was unimaginable before.
The relationship between the Draenei and the Orcs has never been good.
It can be said that all of this is thanks to Nobundo.
It was his contact with the elements, his transformation into Shaman, that led to the communication and resolution we have today.
Everything in the world has its own spirit.
Nobundo's face was tinged with sadness, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. "This is the lesson I've learned over the years. Nicholas, if you want to truly understand the principle of elemental balance and become one with the elements, you must understand this principle."
"Is that so? Everything in the world has a spirit? Everything has a spirit, including this flowing water, these stone pillars, this soil?"
Jiang Jie seemed to be deep in thought, and asked softly.
"Including these."
Nobundo said, "I have lived from ancient times to this day, experiencing tens of thousands of years of time and contemplation. From the Naaru, I learned many cosmic truths, including those related to the elements. However, I never understood them until I was abandoned by the Holy Light. I thought I had been abandoned by the Holy Light."
He told his story.
Decades ago, the Orcs breached the Temple of Karabor and conquered Shattrath.
In that battle, he was invaded by Fel, which cut off his connection to the Holy Light. No matter how much he prayed, he received no response from the Holy Light.
He was in despair.
The Naaru have protected the Draenei for tens of thousands of years, Draenei have worshipped the Holy Light for tens of thousands of years. The Holy Light Holy Light become part of their bodies and souls; it is their only faith.
At that time, Nobundo was a member of the Draenei Council of Exarchs, a Legendary user of the Holy Light, second only to Velen.
His affinity with the Holy Light surpassed that of everyone else except Velen.
He had spoken with the Naaru countless times, believing that the Holy Light would never abandon him.
But on that day, at that moment, he lost his Holy Light.
Then there was no response.
He lost the Holy Light, lost the trust of his people, and only gained their pity and...
disgust.
Because he had become a Broken one, even his appearance had changed, becoming ugly, twisted, and repulsive.
Although the Draenei eventually accepted them, or at least didn't annihilate them, he still felt an unprecedented sense of loss.
New limbs, spots, and tumors gradually grew on his once smooth body. Some growths, resembling moss, covered his entire body. No matter how much he scratched, it was useless. Even cutting off the flesh with a knife was no use; it would just grow back.
His hooves, one of the most important features of the Draenei, were completely gone, replaced by some kind of deformed foot, like tentacles.
His changes weren't limited to just his brain; it was also becoming increasingly unresponsive.
Nobundo watched as the Broken grew more and more lost, turning into mindless zombies, until they couldn't even stand themselves anymore. He then left the new Draenei city and never returned.
Everything can never go back to the way it was before.
Many years passed like this.
He thought he had lost everything.
Then he heard the whispers of the wind.
It wasn't the sound of the wind element, but the sound of the wind itself.
The wind carried messages from the entire world, and omens from the planet itself:
The world is being Devastation; the planet is about to shatter.
The Holy Light never speaks, it simply warms your entire body.
But the wind is different; it can talk, and it likes to talk.
It will tell you everything, as long as you are friendly to it, as long as you are willing to listen, and as long as you do not intend to enslave it, but rather to live in harmony with it.
The Holy Light resides within each person; you can choose to accept it or not.
But elements have their own ideas; they will choose whether or not to accept you.
"I don't want to enslave it, I only want salvation. The Holy Light has not given me salvation," Nobundo said.
He continued his story.
The wind brought a sound:
They wanted him to go to the summit of Nagrand's mountains to seek his salvation, to seek...
A new journey begins, a true Nobundo.
He didn't know this was an unprecedented opportunity, but he still followed the guidance of fate and headed to the summit of the mountains in Nagrand.
They encountered a Draenei sentry post on the way.
Those people kept the Broken under surveillance and didn't allow them to roam freely.
Nobundo was once the second-best user of the Holy Light after Velen, but now he is weaker than ever before and has lost all his power.
He saw mockery and... pity in the eyes of his people.
He didn't want that kind of pity.
He became angry.
The elements were enraged.
So his people were controlled, bound by the wind, and seized by the earth, unable to move.
For the first time, he truly felt the power of the elements, that wild power!
He easily passed the checkpoint and then trekked through mountains and rivers to reach his destination.
"This is it."
Nobundo said, "It was here that I encountered them."
