Twilight of the Gods

As the God of Holy Light disappeared, the surrounding light barrier also dissipated, and everyone's figures reappeared before them. Shen Yuan looked at the complex expressions on everyone's faces and smiled, "Now you should all understand that what I said was true, right?"

The group nodded with difficulty. Although they couldn't quite understand the conversation between the mysterious man and the God of Holy Light, the information revealed in it was enough to send chills down their spines.

"What exactly is going on? What is the true identity of the God of Holy Light?" Illidan asked, echoing the thoughts of everyone present.

Shen Yuan said, "The true identity of the God of Holy Light is an existence from another world, a higher-dimensional being. Those adventurers are the same as the God of Holy Light. They come to this world not in their true form, but using a projection. This way, they can freely adventure and enjoy themselves in this world, experiencing a life different from their own, without having to worry about dying at all."

Arthas nodded thoughtfully. "It sounds somewhat similar to summoning creatures."

Shen Yuan nodded. "Indeed, all summoned creatures, such as the Undead from the Underworld, elemental creatures from the Elemental Plane, demons from the Abyss, and Void creatures from the Void, appear in the form of projections and cannot be truly killed. This is somewhat similar to the true identities of adventurers and the God of Holy Light."

However, these adventurers are completely different in one way: not only can they not be killed, but you can't even enter their world. As for demons, we can at least banish them. Every time we kill a demon, we weaken its power. If we have enough power, we can even enter the Abyss and kill its true form. This has happened before.

But adventurers are completely different. You can't enter their world at all. Our world is one-way transparent to them.

Moreover, they can be resurrected immediately after death at almost no cost, which is why they cannot be wiped out.

Furthermore, adventurers have another characteristic: they can disguise themselves as members of various races within the Alliance and the Horde, appearing no different from us. However, in reality, all adventurers are the same kind of creature.

You can distinguish otherworldly creatures such as demons, Undead, and elemental beings by their appearance and strength, but for adventurers, there is no way to tell them apart by their appearance and type of power alone.

If we use a binary classification method, the people in this world can be divided into two types: us natives—and adventurers from higher dimensions.

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

This did sound quite unpleasant, but because the game Sky World has different world divisions, concepts like projection and time travel are easily accepted by these people, so they quickly understood what Shen Yuan meant.

"You previously said that the God of Holy Light is from the same world as the adventurers? But how is that possible? The difference in their power is so vast."

"That's right. In fact, in their world, they were just ordinary humans. The bodies they used to enter our world were actually puppet shells created by the cosmic will of this world. The name of the God of Holy Light is actually Li Mingfei, just an ordinary person. Only after coming to this world will he become a god."

"Why humans? Why not Orcs?" Thrall asked, dissatisfied.

"That's not the point. The point is, for them, the Sky World is like an amusement park. Their world is incredibly boring, so they entered our world to experience a different kind of life. To make the story more epic and Legendary, the God of Holy Light and the other gods created the Book of Fate, which is what you saw before. They wrote many Legendary stories and propelled the plot of our world according to what they described in their books. In this way, our world becomes incredibly wonderful."

"So, our fates were actually pre-written, a story written in a script?" the crowd asked incredulously.

"That's right, it's just like a play on stage. The difference is that, as actors, you don't know your true identities. You see yourself as the heroes or villains in the story, while the adventurers can personally join the story and experience the exciting plot. Of course, in the plot, the adventurers don't actually exist; they're more like intruders. To ensure that most adventurers can experience the exciting plot, being killed by an adventurer doesn't mean real death. That's why you always overlook their role in the story."

"So all the suffering of the Blood Elf was orchestrated by Li Mingfei? The destruction of the Sunwell was all planned by Li Mingfei?" Kael'thas asked through gritted teeth.

"That's right?"

"So the destruction of Lordaeron, my fall, Frostmourne, and my death were all part of Li Mingfei's plan?" Arthas said expressionlessly, his voice chilling.

"That's right."

"So, my people and I turning into ugly Naga was also part of Li Mingfei's plan?" Azshara said angrily, her magic surging within her.

"That's right."

"So, my brother's death at Illidan's hands was actually orchestrated by Li Mingfei?" Maiev Shadowsong asked in a deep voice.

"That's right."

"So Tyrande chose my brother instead of me, and I was imprisoned for ten thousand years—was all Li Mingfei's scheme?" Illidan asked, burning with rage.

"That's right, otherwise why do you think you were imprisoned for exactly 10,000 years, instead of 9,999 years? Or 10,001 years?"

Shen Yuan gave a Taunt smile. "Because this kind of plot is more dramatic, and it can also generate better lines. For example, if you were talking to yourself and said, 'I was imprisoned for 9,999 years and then banished from my hometown,' wouldn't it feel awkward? But if you said, 'I was imprisoned for 10,000 years,' it would be much more impactful, wouldn't you say?"

Everyone was furious. When someone who considers themselves strong discovers that their entire life has been a pre-ordained story, no one can remain calm.

When they endured countless hardships only to discover that it was all a setup, designed merely for dramatic effect, everyone was enraged, especially Sylvanas, Arthas, Kael'thas, Azshara, and others.

Shen Yuan looked at the crowd's reaction with satisfaction, "Now you know the true face of the God of Holy Light, right? You are all his puppets and slaves."

I am the only one who can grant you freedom. However, as you have heard, Li Mingfei is using his methods. In our world, he is about to send me to prison. This means I only have a maximum of three days to help you. You must make a choice: continue living in this fabricated lie, or join me, join my army. I will lead you to storm the Pantheon, kill the God of Holy Light, and restore this world to a place where free will truly exists. Whether you are righteous warriors or evil demons, it will be your own choice, not a fate written on a whim by some third-rate screenwriter. You will have true freedom to live according to your own will.

Tell me, everyone, what is your choice!?

"We are willing to follow you, Mystic! The true revenge is finally about to begin!" Maiev Shadowsong declared.

"Take me to the Pantheon! How dare they fool me, Illidan! They're courting death!" Illidan said, spreading his wings.

"The Forsaken will walk with you; we will never forget the hatred of the past, and the gods will pay the price!"

"They will witness Azshara's wrath!"

"For the Alliance! I'm willing to join you."

"For the Horde! I agree."

"Excellent!" Seeing everyone's stance, Shen Yuan smiled. "We will unite to attack the Pantheon! Whether good or evil, Alliance or Horde, living or dead, we will all unite! Before this power, no one can resist. Even the gods will be crushed by this torrent! Gather your armies and followers! All those willing to join us, we will launch our attack at dawn! The code name for this operation is— Twilight of the Gods!"
