South of the Obelisk of the Stars, an ancient Titans structure, buried in yellow sand, reveals its yellow true form under the howling wind.
The entire Uldum area has a similar style, somewhat reminiscent of Egypt. It looks like the Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo, filled with the scent of yellow sand and carrying an ancient and timeless aura.
This is the Halls of Origination, the most important Titans building in all of Uldum, the guardian hall of the Forge of Origination.
Within this hall, several powerful Keeper slumber:
Four of them are Lesser Keeper who obey the orders of the Highkeeper Ra, and they hold the same status as Anveena.
In the ancient Black Empire era, the Titans created the Storm Giants and the Stone Giants, and bestowed upon the most powerful among them even greater strength.
The nine most powerful were the nine Titan Keepers.
The slightly weaker ones are the Lesser Keeper, who serve as assistants to the Titan Keepers.
These Lesser Keeper are numerous, far more than one might imagine.
However, in that unprecedented and brutal battle, many perished, and only a small number survived.
The four in the Halls of Origination are among the best.
Among the Lesser Titan Keepers, the four responsible for conquest are naturally far stronger than those responsible for construction, such as Ironaya.
In reality, their status was not much lower Helya's; they were at the same level and possessed power almost comparable to the Titan Keepers.
After all, their power was bestowed upon them by the Titans themselves.
Unlike Archaedas and Ironaya, whose power had long since declined to its limit due to their distance from the Great Forge, the Titan-forged here have always been nourished by the power of the Forge of Origination in the Halls of Origination, so they must have always maintained their peak condition.
True Lesser Titan Keepers, as the second-in-commands of the Titan Keepers, are qualified to fight against the four Elemental Lords and the Old Gods. They are true Demigod, on par with the Wild Gods.
Even Jiang Jie now has to be careful when dealing with such beings; he has no guarantee of victory against any of them.
Fortunately, he wasn't there to fight.
" Anveena, open the door!" Jiang Jie said calmly.
"Okay, brother."
Anveena walked to the gate, took out the Discs of the Titans, and touched the gate.
Without any special lighting or shadow effects, the door simply opened with a heavy thud.
This is the power of the Titans, the wisdom of the Titans.
This gate, this building, though seemingly ordinary, contains the power of the Titans.
Without the Discs of the Titans, even if Jiang Jie were to summon the Dragon Aspect, a direct assault on the Halls of Origination would be impossible, let alone an attack on it. Moreover, it would alert the Titan-forged within the Halls of Origination.
When the time comes, facing the wrath of the Titan-forged, or even directly confronting the power of the Forge of Origination, who can withstand it?
Therefore, even Deathwing and Al'Akir did not intend to directly attack the Forge of Origination. Instead, they dealt with the Tol'vir, attempting to obtain from Tol'vir the key to open the Halls of Origination, namely the Discs of the Titans.
Jiang Jie acted first.
The Halls of Origination is where the Titans housed the Forge of Origination, and in terms of sheer size, it far surpasses Uldaman.
Although Ulduar, Uldum, and Uldaman are known as the three great Titans ruins, they are actually quite different.
Ulduar was a massive Titans complex built under the leadership of Odyn, the " Prime Designate of Azeroth," with the cooperation of all the Titan Keepers except for Highkeeper Ra, and the skilled craftsman Archaedas. It was more magnificent and grand than any other building in the world except for the sunken cities of the Black Empire.
Uldum is certainly not as good as Ulduar, but it was also personally organized and built by Highkeeper Ra, and it bore the same heavy responsibilities as Ulduar, such as guarding the Forge of Origination and watching over the Old Gods C'Thun. It was not much worse Ulduar.
As for Uldaman?
It was just a small underground palace built by Ironaya to store the stagnant Troggs.
Although Ironaya and Archaedas later expanded and increased the Guardian forces to protect the Disc of Norgannon, it was actually less than a tenth the size of Uldum and Ulduar.
Any of the Temple of the Keeper in Storm Peaks is more visually striking than Uldaman.
Even the Halls of Origination alone is far superior to Uldaman.
This enormous "pyramid" is luxuriously decorated inside.
No, it should be called luxury.
Each wall is inlaid with enormous gems, ten times more precious than the gems on many Archmage' staffs.
The surrounding area is decorated with intricate and ancient patterns cast in gold, expressing the Titan-forged ' respect for the Titans and their Titan Keepers.
The dust on the ground was mixed with golden quicksand, gold dust that had fallen from gold utensils that had been corroded away by time.
Although these things are somewhat vulgar, they are everywhere and have accumulated in a thick layer, which still gives people a sense of grandeur.
Let's put it this way:
If the gold from here were to circulate in Azeroth, it would be enough to cause an economic upheaval throughout the world.
If this gold were piled up, it could fill countless rooms; even the Dwarves vaults of Ironforge couldn't hold it all.
To mortals, gold is a precious metal, but to the Titan Keepers, it holds no meaning.
For example, Archaedas, and now Anveena, could easily find gold veins deep underground if they wanted to, and then, with a wave of their hand, refine enough gold to last a lifetime.
In the eyes of someone like Jiang Jie, worldly wealth is meaningless.
What they pursue is not something that wealth can buy.
Jiang Jie strode forward, then suddenly stopped.
He sensed a slight tremor in the ground; something was awakening from its millennia-long slumber.
Immediately afterwards, a group of stone creatures that looked very much like Tol'vir, with wings on their backs, swarmed out of the passage.
These men wore eagle masks, wielded various weapons, and were about the same height as the Tol'vir.
Or even higher.
" Tol'vir, this is a real Tol'vir..." Jiang Jie murmured to himself.
The Old Gods ' Curse of Flesh turned almost all of the Titan-forged into flesh and blood, including the Tol'vir outside.
But the Tol'vir here were not affected by the Curse of Flesh.
The Tol'vir are very strong!
There are many kinds of ancient Titan-forged.
The earliest Storm Giants and Stone Giants were created directly by the Titans of the Pantheon. They were the most powerful and were created to fight against the Old Gods and the Elemental Lords.
Later, the Titan Keepers used the Forge of Wills to create many kinds of Titan-forged, each with its own purpose.
The enthusiastic and rugged Earthen meticulously sculpt the existing landscape and are responsible for constructing various Titans buildings, such as Uldaman.
The clockwork Mechagnomes, designed by the Keeper Mimiron, help the Keeper build and maintain those important mechanical devices, and are responsible for the high-tech parts;
The Mogu, formed from rock, are basically laborers. They are the largest and strongest, specializing in heavy work such as digging rivers and carving mountains.
The Vrykul steel-skinned bodies, and the Tol'vir, with their rock-like forms, are responsible for protecting Titans facilities. They are highly intelligent and possess formidable combat abilities.
So in reality, apart from the Storm Giants and Stone Giants, the most powerful Titan-forged are not the largest Mogu, but the Vrykul and Tol'vir.
Anubisath might be more powerful in individual combat, but there are fewer Anubisath, and they are not a regular unit.
These Tol'vir before us are extremely powerful because they are not Curse of Flesh.
The curse of the Old Gods is terrible, but the Halls of Origination is, after all, the place where the Forge of Origination is located, containing the power of the Titans, which is enough to counteract this curse.
" The Halls of Origination welcomes no outsiders. Get out of this sacred place immediately, or you will face the wrath of the Titan-forged!"
The lead Tol'vir raised his halberd.
He's ready to attack at any moment!
