A few hours ago.
There was no path leading down into the depths of the underground temple.
But with Anveena, there was a way.
Led by three ancient dragons, Anveena used her Titan Keepers privileges to create a door on one of the walls of a side hall. Pushing the door open, she entered a huge, bottomless circular well.
The three ancient dragons transformed into their true forms, and Anveena flapped her wings, flying downwards with them.
It took a full hour to finally land.
Stepping out of the well, Anveena saw a ray of light.
Everywhere you look, there are enormous gears, chains, and circular pipes, through which flows energy intimately connected to this land and this planet.
This is an unprecedented project, a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than Gnomeregan's Gnomes masterpiece.
This is Titans Prison.
Yogg-Saron's body is almost as large as Northrend, C'Thun, though much smaller, still occupies the entire depths of Ahn'Qiraj's underground. So, the Titans Prison that can imprison it must be quite large as well.
It's even more magnificent and grand than the Ahn'Qiraj on the ground!
However, many of these Titans facilities have been broken or even Devastation.
Numerous, grotesque lumps of flesh have sprung up all over the Titans facility, striving to corrupt and destroy it.
No matter how grand the prison, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.
In particular, the explosion of the Well of Eternity caused cataclysmic destruction and tectonic shifts, directly shaking the foundations of the Titans Prison.
Add to that the inaction of the Titan Keepers over countless millennia, and the fact that the Titans Prison, now devoid of managers and maintainers, could still imprison the Old Gods and prevent their release is already quite incredible.
It's normal that some parts were destroyed.
Now that a Keeper of the Titans Prison has finally appeared, everything should return to normal.
Numerous tentacles appeared and attacked Anveena.
C'Thun sensed the presence of the Titan Keepers and realized his perilous situation, so he launched an attack.
But here, the power of the Titans Prison remains formidable, Anveena's strength has been enhanced to an unprecedented degree, and C'Thun's power has been frantically suppressed. Those rampaging fleshy tentacles have no way to fight against Anveena.
Moreover, they also have the help of three ancient dragons.
Here, they are constantly under the mental threat of C'Thun.
But then, Anveena raised her staff, and different powers flowed into their bodies.
They suddenly became very strong.
"This is... the power of the Titans!" Arygos exclaimed.
The five Dragon Aspects Legion were all transformed from proto-dragons by the Titan Keepers guiding Titans power. Therefore, their power is essentially Titans power, and it shares the same origin as the power of the Titans Prison here.
Therefore, with Anveena's approval, they gained the approval of the Titans Prison and received a boost in power.
Arcane blast, dream continues, the flame of life burns brightly.
Three ancient dragons fought against the growing flesh, while Anveena used the power and authority from Ironaya to repair parts of the destroyed Titans Prison.
This is not difficult.
The Titan Keepers Archaedas was the one who built the Titans Prison, and Ironaya was responsible for assisting him.
Within the Titans Prison, their power flows primarily; they possess the highest authority.
As a participant in the construction of the Titans Prison, Ironaya possessed authority second only to the Titan Keepers.
Therefore, having obtained her power and authority, Anveena could naturally activate the Titans Prison's automatic repair system and begin the repairs.
This will be a long process, perhaps lasting several months or even many years.
But without a doubt:
Anveena will surely triumph in the fight against C'Thun, for the Titans Prison is her stronghold.
The proliferating flesh was gradually worn away by the ancient dragon's magic, revealing the heavily corroded Titans infrastructure.
Anveena raised her staff, and bursts of golden light appeared, slowly restoring gears, chains, and pipes one by one.
The power of the Titans Prison is gradually increasing. The Old Gods are indeed disgusting, but not invincible.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Anveena suddenly frowned.
She looked up and murmured to herself, "Brother... is in danger..."
As space collapsed, Holy Light and shadow merged into the Black Tortoise Armor, forming an unprecedentedly powerful defense.
Jiang Jie had no doubt:
This level of defense is absolutely comparable to any other demigod except Tortora, and even Usol and Usok cannot match it.
But he still lacked confidence in countering the collapse of space.
And the result?
He really held on.
The immense tearing and oppressive force left him besieged both internally and externally. A terrifying energy surge directly invaded his body, but he ultimately managed to withstand it.
Despite his body being on the verge of collapse, with ruptured blood vessels, damaged internal organs, and bleeding from all seven orifices, he ultimately managed to hold on.
Then, he had to use all his strength to fight against the sudden uprising of Xal'atath.
This guy seized the opportunity and began absorbing the Shadow energy left by C'Thun's avatar after its death.
But he didn't have much of a chance.
Because Fist of Tyr and the Shard of T'uure also erupted at the same time, frantically absorbing Holy Light energy.
Yes, the Holy Light.
The Old Gods were symbiotic beings that sensed both light and darkness; the energy within them contained not only shadow but also Holy Light.
Old Gods and the Naaru are creations of light and shadow, but the former appeared before the order of light and shadow was established, representing chaos, while the latter appeared after the order of light and shadow was established, representing order.
Therefore, the Old Gods merged the Holy Light and shadow into one, forming their own unique energy system, while the Naaru realized the life cycle of light and shadow.
These are two different systems of light and shadow, but both are products of the interplay of light and shadow.
Therefore, just as Xal'atath could absorb Shadow energy from the dead C'Thun, Fist of Tyr could naturally absorb Holy Light energy as well.
As for the T'uure fragments?
It's strange that it absorbs two types of energy simultaneously.
Jiang Jie sat cross-legged.
The two different systems of light and shadow deeply moved him, but what he achieved was a third, and the most incredible one:
Light and shadow coexist, yet are clearly distinct.
It is essentially a community of the Old Gods and the Naaru, yet it seems to be different.
This is Taiji, the Two Aspects of light and shadow, clearly distinct yet mutually restraining and generating each other.
This is Jiang Jie's Yin- Two Aspects Dao.
Taiji began to become more harmonious, and Jiang Jie's Two Aspects system and the Three Talents system became more balanced.
Jiang Jie fell into deep thought.
But even in this state of contemplation, an unprecedented terror had already descended.
He had vanished without him even noticing.
When he opened his eyes, he saw only devastation.
Everywhere were enormous throats that opened and closed incessantly, and pitch-black, cold eyes; all around were terrifying monsters as tall as mountains.
Those were Old Gods, Old Gods had not yet been imprisoned and sealed away.
" Nicholas, this is the era of the ancient Black Empire, the time ruled by the Old Gods."
Xal'atath's voice echoed within Jiang Jie's body, filled with unprecedented terror. "You've been pulled into the Ancient Era by C'Thun! Not the true Ancient Era, but the Ancient Era of C'Thun's spiritual world! And your body has been devoured by C'Thun, falling into his true form!"
"What should I do?" Jiang Jie stood up, looked around, and was calmer than ever before.
"Only by breaking free from illusion and attaining godhood can one escape C'Thun's spiritual world and have a chance to leave C'Thun's body!"
Xal'atath said, "You don't need to become a true Demigod, but you must achieve a breakthrough in your soul and attain godhood in your spirit!"
