Caverns of Time

At this point, Kairoz looked at Shen Yuan again.

"So who will go with Kairoz into the Caverns of Time as an inside agent?" Shen Yuan asked.

Medivh shook his head. "This is probably not my forte." Merlin also shook his head. "I have little knowledge of time magic, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help this time."

Both of them hurriedly threw their bags aside.

The truth is obvious: the person who enters with Kairoz must be extremely capable in combat. To instantly eliminate the person monitoring the Time Barrier and ensure that the Time Barrier remains unactivated, they must be powerful enough to independently face an attack from a group of bronze dragons. Among those with such strength, Naiser and Xiao Yu are undoubtedly the most suitable.

Actually, Naiser is the most suitable, because Nephalem are not afraid of being ganged up on.

However, Naiser glanced at Xiao Yu, shrugged, and said, "I'd like to go, but I still have to command the demon army, so—"

Xiao Yu nodded helplessly, "Then I'll go into the Caverns of Time with Kairoz."

The agreement has been reached, and the matter is settled.

However, sneaking in would be a bit troublesome. The Caverns of Time are heavily guarded, and the Elemental King is the Destroyer. If he were to show his face, he would be discovered instantly.

Xiao Yu then voiced his question.

"It's alright," Shen Yuan said. "I had already considered the possibility of encountering this situation, so I specially prepared a small item. You just need to wear this."

As Shen Yuan spoke, he handed over a mask. The mask was pitch black, without any facial features, except for a large golden question mark-like pattern in the center.

Xiao Yu took the mask and glanced at its description.

[Name: Adventurer's Mask (Test Item No. 198)]

[Category: Helmet]

[Quality:???]

[Function:???]

[Equipment Requirements:???]

[Item Effect (Passive): Adventurer's Visage. When you wear it, the system will automatically identify you as an adventurer.]

[Item Description: This item is for testing game mechanics only. If you obtain this item during gameplay, please contact the game's official support. We will retrieve the item and provide corresponding rewards.]

Another test item. Xiao Yu thought to himself that Shen Yuan really had a lot of good stuff hidden away.

Xiao Yu put the mask on, and a semi-transparent interface immediately appeared in front of him. It looked exactly like the adventurer's interface, and there was also a settings list with a lot of customizable data.

Race, occupation, age, gender, equipment—all can be freely set.

For race, Xiao Yu chose the most common one: humans.

I chose the mage profession.

Age: 25.

Level: 60.

Gender: Male.

As for equipment, this system is incredibly powerful, encompassing all equipment in the database. Xiao Yu simply entered a few words and searched, and a huge amount of equipment came up.

Finally, Xiao Yu chose the Storm Controller Set, the top-tier mage set that tailoring players can currently craft in the game, and selected the Staff of the Violet Eye as his weapon.

Even the skill system was completely copied. Xiao Yu could use all the skills of level 60 mage adventurers, including some forbidden spells that could only be learned by completing epic quests. Xiao Yu guessed that this mask was probably created when the game was first completed to test how adventurers would feel in the game.

In no time, Xiao Yu had finished setting it up, and soon, a level 60 human mage in a blue mage robe appeared before everyone.

Shen Yuan nodded and cautioned, "You need to be careful. Your current strength is exactly the same as a level 60 mage adventurer, including combat abilities, game functions, and the ability to resurrect infinitely. Basically, you are a level 60 mage adventurer. However, once you take off your mask, you will immediately revert to the Elemental King. But you cannot take off or put on the mask during battle, so you must think carefully about which identity you will use before the fight begins."

Xiao Yu nodded, and then set off with Kairoz.

Since they had no mount, and for ease of movement, Kairoz transformed into a bronze dragon and carried Xiao Yu towards the Caverns of Time.

A few minutes later, they landed in front of the entrance to the Caverns of Time.

The two walked directly through the Bronze Dragon Guard's encampment towards the entrance of the Caverns of Time. It must be said that adventurers are definitely the most magical species in the Sky World. Not only do they possess the ability to resurrect infinitely, but they also have many advantages that other classes do not have. One of these advantages is that they can freely enter many areas that ordinary people cannot enter, such as the Caverns of Time, which is theoretically a forbidden area for Bronze Dragons. It is extremely difficult for people who are not from Bronze Dragon factions to enter, but if adventurers want to enter, the guards will completely ignore them, as if it were a matter of course.

Similarly, adventurer Warlock could openly roam the streets of major cities with their demon minions, while Illidan, who merely seized the demon's power, was immediately banished by his brother.

As Xiao Yu followed Kairoz into the Caverns of Time, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of adventurers.

"Alright, let's head to the control room of the Time Barrier now," Kairoz said in a deep voice.

Although Kairoz had made up his mind to do something big with the Council of Sages, the thought of dealing with his own kind made him feel uneasy.

However, his goal was to become a god (according to Shen Yuan, Kairoz would have to choose between the Dragon God and the God of Time in the future), so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Entering the Cavern of Caverns of Time -by-side with Kairoz, we found ourselves in a winding tunnel leading downwards. The Caverns of Time possessed a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, which was very comfortable. As we walked along the tunnel, we could see scenes on both sides that appeared to be Freeze in time.

These images come in all shapes and sizes, but without exception, they all depict key moments from various historical periods, such as the Orcs crossing the Dark Portal, the War of Eternity, Arthas destroying Lordaeron, and Archimonde destroying Dalaran.

Throughout the Caverns of Time, such scenes are everywhere: fragments of history are separated and displayed like museum exhibits on both sides of the passageway. Walking along them is like strolling through a historical corridor. These scenes are completely three-dimensional; the creatures, buildings, and war scenes in them look as if they were actually happening there. And they truly were, only in a state of time stillness. Theoretically, if enough time energy is inputted, these fragments of history can be activated, and the creatures in those scenes will come to life. Only the Bronze Dragons could accomplish such a feat.

Soon, the two arrived at the hall of the Caverns of Time. It was an enormous space. Looking up, a long river of yellow sand encircled the dome, as if the river of time was flowing around them. The starry sky was dense, and some huge planets seemed to be within reach. Standing under this dome, it was as if they were in a miniature universe.

From time to time, you can see groups of Dragonspawn guards walking by; they are all elite units, powerful creatures with hundreds of thousands of health points.

Occasionally, one can also see bronze dragons that have transformed into humanoid creatures and are chatting with each other.

When not in combat, Dragon Clan often prefer to transform into human form, especially indoors. After all, Dragon Clan are too large, especially the large Dragon Clan, and it's not convenient for them to move around in their dragon form, so transformation is essential.

Among these, the transformation of elves is the most common, after all, Dragon Clan are known for their good looks.

People who are ugly won't just randomly use illusions.

Xiao Yu roughly estimated that the number of adult Dragon Clan he had seen along the way was probably enough to form a reinforced platoon (only adult dragons have the ability to transform into humanoid creatures).
