The Rise of The Immortals

When this world was first created, elemental beings were the earliest living things to be born. We ruled this ancient world, and once upon a time, we also established a magnificent empire, with vast territories spanning countless planes. The wind element ruled the sky, the Water Elemental dominated the ocean, the earth element roamed the land, and the fire element carved out countless kingdoms underground.

However, the division weakened us. Years of war gradually weakened our four races. The ancient covenant was no longer observed, and those who were once brothers became enemies. Meanwhile, those flesh-and-blood races took advantage of the situation and, with the help of their gods, banished us and drove us away from our homeland.

The barren Elemental Plane, originally the birthplace of the Elemental Race, has now become our place of mere survival. For the sake of limited resources, those short-sighted Elemental Lords constantly launch new rounds of wars, perpetuating the mistakes of millennia and wasting the power of the Elemental Race in internal strife.

Only when summoned by those mages and elementals can we return to the Prime Material Plane for a brief stay, fight and bleed for them in exchange for meager rewards, or, like you are now, be captured by these despicable races of the Prime Material Plane and become their test subjects.

It has been too long. The great elementals have been lost for far too long. This mistake should not continue. I will change it all. Join me, and let us reclaim our world. Let us turn Azeroth into a paradise for elemental creatures. I, Azathoth, promise you a day when we can return to the Prime Material Plane and reclaim everything we have lost.

Moreover, once we reclaim the prime material, we can continue to expand our territory into other planes. This universe is so vast and magnificent, with countless planes waiting for us to conquer. In comparison, that narrow and calamous elemental realm is but a tiny corner. Now make your choice: join me, become one of the Immortals, and create the future together.

Or perhaps they will remain here, decaying in this gloomy and dark dungeon, turning into dust of history.

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, all the elemental creatures were stunned.

Water Elemental Wotkud: "Are you insane? This, how is this possible Neptulon will not allow you to do this. If the four Elemental King find out about your plans, you will definitely not have a good end."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Hmph, you should worry about yourself first. These anti-magic materials are immortal. If I don't let you leave, you will be imprisoned here forever, with only endless confinement awaiting you. So I advise you to think carefully about the consequences before you speak."

Wotkud immediately shut up; he could tell the difference between good and bad even among NPCs.

Cecilia (Spirit of Storm): "I'm willing to submit to you, as long as you release me from this hellhole, I'll do anything you ask." Cecilia was the first to yield; this wind elemental, accustomed to freedom, could no longer suppress her yearning for it.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Then swear your oath! Swear to join the Immortals, swear allegiance to me."

Cecilia (Spirit of Storm): "In the name of the God of Elements, I, Cecilia, swear allegiance to the great Azathoth, until Azathoth betrays me or voluntarily dissolves his pact with me."

System notification: Cecilia (Spirit of Storm) has applied to join the Immortals. Do you accept her offer? Yes/No.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yu accepted, and then destroyed the switch of the magic-suppressing cage with a Frostfire Bolt. Cecilia rushed out and circled in the air, emitting bursts of joyful howls.

With such a model in place, one after another, the imprisoned elemental creatures made their own oaths.

In the end, only two people remained who had not yet sworn an oath: Elder Water Elemental Wotkud and Fester (the Flame Wraith).

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "What, is there anything to hesitate about?"

Fester (Flame Wraith): "You really intend to unify the Elemental Plane? But how is that possible? The four Elemental Kings are all several skeleton-level bosses."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "You'll soon find out whether it's possible or not. Make your choice now."

Fester (the Flame Wraith): "Alright, buddy, I'll join. Hope you don't let me down."

Wotkud (Elder of the Water Elemental): "I hope you know what you're doing, child." With that, he made his own vow.

Xiao Yu opened the Elemental Prison and released numerous elemental creatures. On the surface, he exuded the awe-inspiring aura of a superior, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Hahaha, this is absolutely awesome! I've collected over forty elemental creatures in one go, and every single one of them is an elite BOSS-level elemental creature. Now I'm finally not a lone wolf anymore.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he only has a few dozen subordinates now. Elemental creatures have always been hierarchically divided, somewhat like the feudal system of medieval Europe. Each BOSS-level elemental creature usually commands dozens or even hundreds of ordinary elemental creatures. In other words, if he were to fully mobilize his current strength, he could theoretically create an army of several thousand elemental creatures.

Of course, due to the hostile relationship between the Elemental Plane, it is not an easy task to bring these elemental creatures together. Apart from those from the Water Elemental Plane, the elemental creatures from other planes can currently only be used as hidden agents.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Very good, I'm glad you've come to terms with reality. Now, I will release you. After you return to the Elemental Plane, lie low and do your best to develop more power. I will summon you when I need you."

Cecilia (Spirit of Storm), you will be my leader in the Air Elemental Plane, and I appoint you as the Guardian of Wind.

Kaladar (Elder of the Fire Elementals), you will be my leader in the Fire Elemental Plane, and I appoint you as the Guardian of Flame.

Gondorak (Granite Giant), you will be my leader in the Earth Elemental Plane, and I appoint you as the Guardian of Earth.

Wotkud (Elder of the Water Elemental), you will be my head in the Water Elemental Plane, and I appoint you as the Guardian of the Ocean.

"So, before we leave this hellhole, as the first generation of members of the Immortal Legion, our task is to completely destroy this Mage Tower, to let these mortal races know that the dignity of the elemental race is not to be desecrated. Follow me, and attack the Hall of Smelting!"

"Yes, Lord Azathoth!" all the elemental creatures said in unison. The fire elemental's hoarse, explosive voice, the earth elemental's deep voice, the wind elemental's ethereal voice, and the Water Elemental's strangely magnetic voice all converged into one. They knelt before Azathoth, paying homage to their leader with the unique etiquette of elemental creatures.

Led by Xiao Yu, the group of elemental creatures broke out of the dungeon together.

The adventurers were startled to see a large group of elemental creatures rushing out. These elemental creatures were all elite-level monsters, including more than a dozen bosses of varying sizes, each one bigger than the last. Any one of them could scare people for a day, and the sight of such a large group surging out at once was simply terrifying.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Do not be alarmed, valiant adventurers! These are my men, imprisoned in this dungeon by the vile Amalarui. Now I have released them, and they will join us in battle. Now, march toward the Hall of Smelting!"

Upon hearing that these elemental creatures were all on their side, the players cheered.

Ganguowa's eyes lit up as he frantically snapped photos with the camera, exclaiming, "Wow, wow, this is amazing!"
