Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 533, Section 72. Following the Holy Light, Death also begins to awaken its 'Mouthman' nature - Bonus Chapter [105]

(Bonus chapter for the "Gelvis" brothers [5/5])
Kael'thas quickly regained consciousness.

This guy was a workaholic. He ate something quickly and then, along with Von Delor and the other Holy Light priests, threw himself into the development of the "Sun God Magic".

This is destined to be a long and arduous task. After all, the legacy of the Sun God has been almost completely severed in the Star Sea, and Kael'thas and his companions have no precedents to refer to. Even though Diakum shared the principles and casting patterns of the great light technique "Anser's Sun Fist," the difficulty of building a divine magic system from scratch is still terrifyingly high.

“I think the Aldor priests should also be involved.”

As we left the Tower of the Sun King's Mage, Ms. Verara suggested:

"The priests of the Holy Light may also need to trace back to the source. Now that the existence of the Sun God has been confirmed, they cannot be satisfied with just worshipping the Holy Light and the Naaru."

Those believers with aspirations should actively gravitate towards the Sun God, and Archbishop Isana is clearly the most outstanding among our Holy Light priests.

Logically and emotionally, she should participate in the Sin'dorei elves' attempt; her comprehensive system of Holy Light magic could also help the elves better search for the Sun's Radiance.

"However, the large-scale redeployment of Aldor priests may weaken the defenses of the Temple of Karabor."

Diakum stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said:
"It would be best to invite Archbishop Isana and a small number of high priests over. This matter should not be taken lightly. Our people have been worshipping the Holy Light for over 20,000 years. Telling them about the existence of the Sun God rashly might cause some unnecessary disagreements."

If even the Naaru don't know of Anser's existence, then I think we should be more cautious.

Most importantly, Anser's current eclipse state is not suitable for worship, and not all believers can understand the complex connection between Anser, the sun, and the holy light.

If you worship the wrong god and allow the dangerous power of the solar eclipse to extend into your faith, it can lead to disaster in an instant.

If even I consider something 'dangerous,' then I shouldn't let anyone else touch it.

"but"

Lady Verara glanced back at Kael'thas's mage tower and said:

"The Sin'dorei elves will inevitably come into contact with it sooner or later; the origin of the Sun God is the Sun God himself!"

"It's the 'sun,' not the sun god."

Dick corrected:
"These are two concepts. Just as not all Moon Believers worship Lady Elune, the symbol of power and the power itself can never be confused."

I will not allow believers to directly worship the sun god until the glory of Anser's suns is rekindled.

That's a path to death!

"Alright, you believers have such complicated minds. I'm just an arcane magician, so I won't discuss these things with you."

Ms. Vera shrugged and asked:
"I'm going to teach my disciples. Little Jaina is incredibly talented, and such an outstanding individual must be given the best care and guidance. I've decided to follow the example of my distinguished colleague, Lady Bluemoon, and establish an 'Elite Headmaster's Class,' where I will personally teach the students."

Your seminary has also received a number of human and dwarf monks, so we can't leave all the teaching work to Imira and Saloras. As the dean, you'll occasionally have to step in and lecture on higher doctrines.”

“Yes, yes, I also have a ‘Dean’s Elite Class’, ma’am.”

Diakum took a list from his pocket and handed it to Ms. Verara. When she opened it, she was astonished to find that Diakum had rounded up every single Holy Light follower in Azeroth who was even remotely famous and still learning.

On the human side, there is Arthas Menethil and his sister Calia Menethil; on the Sin'dorei elves, there is Liadrin; and on the Zandalari troll side, there is Princess Talanji.

She is a Loa priestess of Rezan, who is the "Dragon of the Sun." So, it's quite normal for Talanji to learn the doctrines from the "Avatar of the Sun" and incidentally build up a terrifying "mentor network," right?
Even the Pandamen have "Little Dragon Hero" Lili as a day student.

Lili learned the Solar Fist and even summoned "Little Rag the Lord of Light" without a teacher, so she is naturally a follower of the sun.

“I can understand that everyone else is in the learning stage, but why is even Hamuul Runetotem your student?”

Ms. Vera said with a sidelong glance:
"He's a Archdruid; his expertise in the realm of life is no less than yours, is it?"

“But I still need to guide it in its cultivation on the path of the sun. This is called ‘the accomplished are teachers.’ My dear Dean, you don’t need to know so much about the affairs of us Holy Light believers.”

Dick blinked and said:
"They are nominally my disciples, but they don't actually study with me every day. Besides, I am a practitioner of the path of light and shadow. Would you like to take a look at my list of disciples in the path of shadow?"

That's even more outrageous!

"Fine, you're the dean of academic affairs, you can make the teaching plan yourself."

The old dean waved her hand, relinquishing all authority, but after taking a few steps, she turned back and sternly said to Diakum:

"As a mentor, you must be mindful of your relationship with your students. The Mystic Academy forbids 'teacher-student relationships,' but your relationship with Gemini is a special case. However, I don't want to hear any more rumors about you, Dean Diakum!"
You should know that the reputation of the Mystic Academy is a very valuable thing!

If you damage the academy's reputation, "that person" will appear at some point and have a go at you.

"Uh"

Diakum was taken aback, repeatedly swearing that he would pay attention to these things before watching the dignified dean leave, then wiping away non-existent sweat.

He planned to go to the Void Rift of the Twinworld Walkers to see what was going on with the Shadowbugs there, but he couldn't find Nellie anywhere and didn't know where she had gone. So he could only open the door to the Void Rift with Saloras.

Just as Diakum left the Sunwell floating island, on the island, in front of the Moon Well in the side hall of the seminary, Archbishop Nelly sat there hesitantly.

She held a moon emblem in her hand, somewhat undecided.

But Lady Tyrande's advice echoed in her mind. Diakum's adventure had truly frightened her and made her realize the helplessness and weakness she felt when her loved ones were in danger.

"Although the idea of ​​'the sun and moon shining together' sounds impressive, it goes against the traditional beliefs of the Eredar people."

Looking at the Moon Well before her, so still that her reflection could be seen, Nellie sighed and said:
"We Eredar have experienced tremendous changes. Some have steadfastly followed the Holy Light, some have devoted themselves to arcane truth, some have fallen into fel energy and become demons, and some have even embraced death. But I estimate that an unprecedented 'miracle' is about to be created."

I will become the first 'Moon God follower' since Argus appeared.

My God, this is completely upside down!

The archbishop really couldn't make up his mind.

Although she is a powerful ranger with a perfect affinity for the path of life and the faith in the moon goddess, how should I put it, the first person to try something new always has to bear an overwhelming amount of psychological pressure.

In this moment of confusion, she clutched her Heart of Argus pendant tightly and said:
"Then, if you can see, if you can hear, O Lord, O one to whom all Eredar belong, please grant my decree. What should I do to live up to my faith, to be responsible to my people, and to not let down my beloved?"

Archbishop Nelly didn't actually expect a response.

After all, although Lord Argus occasionally chats with Diakum like a "portable old man," he is a very noble and mysterious being to the other Eredar.

Only a select few, such as Ireil ​​and Viren, could "hear the Hadith," and Nellie herself only occasionally heard the Lord's call thanks to Diakum.

However, this cannot be blamed on the arrogance of Lord Argus. His fragments of will are scattered across the stars, and their convergence on Diakum is merely a fusion of nodes, insufficient to support the manifestation of Lord Argus's divine power.

It's the same principle as in "energy-saving mode" where every bar of electricity must be used properly.

"Go."

Just as Archbishop Nelly was grappling with inner turmoil, she heard that clear voice, which made her jump up as if struck by lightning.

She stared in astonishment at the Heart of Argus in her hand, confirming that she hadn't misheard.

It's truly a miracle from Lord Argus!
she says:

"But I must go against our ancient traditions; the Eredar have never worshipped the moon."

"Traditions are born from miracles and sacrifices; new traditions begin with you."

The Lord of Argus said gently:

“I can’t always put all the pressure on Diakum alone. Just because he’s willing to shoulder the future of his community doesn’t mean we can turn a blind eye to his dedication.”

Follow him and learn from him, care for him and protect him.

Azeroth shared with me how to protect the Night Elf Warrior, and if you also choose to walk this path, I will protect you as Azeroth protected Tyrande.

Become the moonlight beneath his shadow, Neli; become the bright moon that shines upon the people.

"If you've already said that..."

Nelly took a deep breath.

The archbishop knelt before the Moon Well, and threw the moon emblem in her hand into the water, for the first time replacing her prayer to the Holy Light with a hymn praising the moon.

Soon, the bright moon shone upon her.

A bright moonlight lingered on Archbishop Nelly's delicate forehead, just as it had on Tyrande. She could not become the Goddess of the Night immediately; that required undergoing a Black Moon ritual.

Nelly needs to find more moon worshippers among her people so that she can transform into the wrath of the moon goddess when necessary.

When Nelly, wearing a hat and trying to conceal herself, walked out of the temple, she was shocked to see the prophet Velen waiting for her ahead, which made the archbishop feel as guilty as a thief.

But in Viren's eyes were only pity, emotion, and respect. He bowed to Neli and said:
"Thank you for your sacrifices for the people; you have brought us a new path."

"You saw this?"

Nelly blinked and said:
"Is it a prophecy? Will I die? I heard that all the Moon Gods except Tyrande are dead." "No, you won't."

Viren smiled and said confidently:

"Because the sun's radiance envelops and protects you, I even see you and others singing to the moonlight in the serene night in our beautiful homeland."

Nelly smiled, but after a moment, she asked again:
"Did you see yourself in that prophecy of victory?"

"It does not matter."

Viren stroked his beard and laughed, saying in a magnanimous tone:

"Yes, it doesn't matter at all."

-------

"How dare you come here? Go back right now, I'll take good care of your swarm!"

When the Twin-World Walker saw Diakum running towards the void rift where it was, its entire energy body, hidden beneath its bandages, flashed with anxious afterglow, as if it had installed a cool LED light strip.

It looks very environmentally unfriendly.

It cried out:

"This is the border between the void and the material world. Theoretically, the Void Lords can appear here at any time. Once they sense your presence, they might send a large army over and send me and all my followers to heaven."

You cannot approach the boundaries of the void at will, Diakum!
You are now a traitor to the Void, and every Void being yearns to kill you.

But will they do that?

The vigilant pursed his lips and said:
"They won't. The fallen gods in the Terrogus Rift have already proven the consequences of reckless warfare to them. How could the Void Lords, who value their lives, possibly gamble with their lives before they are certain that I will not summon Sargeras again?"

At most, they'll send some less important guys to their deaths as a test.

But the weak in the void don't even have the right to set foot on your rift, and you're not some newbie who can be easily dismissed.

Don't worry, I'm just checking on the swarm.

As the Twin Walker sighed deeply, Diakum looked up in this rift.

The location chosen as the base by the Twin Realms Walkers is definitely much better than the barren land of the Terrogus Rift; it's a "floating island area."

Large and small fragments of the world surround several continental shelf fragments, forming a spectacular "star ring," like a small planet suspended beneath a purplish-black void of stars.

The followers of the Twin Realms Walkers erected a huge ecological dome here, forming a ethereal city, and even an exaggerated "starport" was built on a fixed fragment of the continent on the outskirts.

These ethereal beings even go so far as to raise "small animals" in their ecological dome.

Under Saloras's astonished gaze, all the rare creatures in the entire Material Star Sea were kept here by the Voidlings, and there was even a special ecological dome that served as a "zoo" for these animals to live in.

However, the Voidlings certainly don't have such a leisurely lifestyle, not to mention that these guys are Void followers of the Two Realms Walkers, so they didn't create these things here for entertainment.

"Are these supplies for the 'Broker Foundation'?"

Diakum casually revealed the secret, saying:

"Which conglomerate are you cooperating with? The Sai Conglomerate? The So Conglomerate? Or the Ao Conglomerate, which has the greatest influence in the Eternal City?"

"You guy."

The Dual-World Walker was used to Diakum's style of casually revealing big secrets, so it didn't intend to say too much about it, simply stating:

"These are goods destined for the 'Veil Market.' There are commercial transactions during each tidal cycle in the interdimensional realm, and I am merely a front man for the Astral Consortium and its 'partners.'"

Don't ask us how we crossed the veil of life and death; I can only tell you that only ethereal beings and spirit brokers can do that.

"Well, it is indeed very rude of you to pry into other people's business secrets."

Diakum didn't pursue the matter further. On the way to the Void Island where the Shadowbugs resided, he asked:
"I can't sense the Sea of ​​No Light, so what's the situation there after that great battle?"

"Ha, just as you wished, it's a complete mess!"

The Twin-World Walker had anticipated that Diakum would come to ask these questions, so it had prepared in advance and would speak in an enthusiastic tone:
"Especially the territories of those Void Gods that you tricked and killed, tsk, almost at the same time that the Zerg continent sank and the death knell of the gods tolled, those territories began an even more insane and brutal civil war."

Each Void God has its own followers, and they also have desires and conflicts among themselves.

Besides, you're incredibly 'generous'!
You did not absorb the power and mysteries of those Void Gods, and after their deaths, the Void Path they possessed reopened.

Each road should only allow one person to reach its end, which should be a shameful 'monopoly', but thanks to you, seven roads have now been opened simultaneously.

Do you know what a sight this is for those ambitious Void Overlords?
They're going crazy!

Many Void Lords openly condemn you, but privately sing your praises, especially those powerful demigods who walk the path but cannot advance any further.

Haha, you're practically their 'second parent'!

The Twin Realms Traveler laughed and recounted as if reciting a familiar story:

"The race of Void Essence split into three branches, each electing its own 'Shadow King' to vie for the throne of Shadow inheritance and the power of the Path."

The creators of the abyss are also facing a split. Several creator lords are hypocritically trying to maintain unity. However, I have received news that some people have secretly hired 'assassins' to take the initiative and eliminate their competitors.

You have killed seven gods, and the resulting chaos is enough to engulf one-fifth of the Sea of ​​No Light, plunging the Chaos Land into turmoil as a result of the waves you have stirred up.

Other Void Lords wanted to intervene but couldn't find a way to do so.

The infighting among the Void creatures is far more brutal than wars in the material world. They believe in the Void's fundamental principle of 'survival of the fittest,' which means that this chaos will not only not end before the birth of seven new Void deities, but will intensify.

Well, it makes sense that the Void Force stripped you of your powers, Diakum. The internal chaos you caused in the Sea of ​​Darkness in a single day is comparable to the achievements of the Void Lords who have been planning for a thousand years.

More importantly, they were already divided, and you lit the fuse of conflict.

Tell me, did you anticipate all of this before you took action?

"How could I possibly be so prescient?"

The vigilant spread his hands and said:

"They've really been forced into this situation, but let them run wild. Chaos is the ladder to the top, isn't it? In their chaos, their enemies won't stop."

What about other realms?
Did this trigger a chain reaction in other realms?

"There's been no movement from the fel side. The demons are celebrating the glorious victory of the Dark Titans, and they've launched a new invasion in celebration. Several sectors have already been dragged into the flames of destruction in the past few days."

But to be honest, even without this incident, the demons wouldn't be idle.

The Twin Realms Traveler shook his head and said:

"Life continues to quietly fuel the tide of life as before. The fleet on the Holy Light's side has changed course and is slowing down, but my ethereal brethren cannot glean any further information. However, they speculate that the large fleet that left the Holy Light's domain is commanded by a high-ranking Naaru."

It's very likely that Zera, the Mother of Light, personally intervened.

However, all these changes seem mild compared to the death.

The Void Master paused, then warned Diakum:
“Be careful. According to my sources, a great figure from the world of the dead has taken notice of you. No! He has been watching you all along, but after this battle of the Void Gods, His ‘favor’ towards you has turned into ‘desire’.”

Be careful, Dick.

The Force of Death needs valiant warriors, and in their eyes you are perfect. Be wary of those who have died, and those born from death.

Ps:

This bonus chapter concludes here. Currently, there are 80 chapters owed. Next bonus chapter: June 6.11th.
I'm not planning to add five more chapters this time because the college entrance exam is tomorrow. So I'm using this method to give a boost to my readers who are about to take the exam. Although I'm not sure if reading a novel to relax at this time can help you find a better state of mind.

But if you can truly draw strength of faith from Brother Diao, then may the Holy Light grant you the following blessings:

You'll know all the answers on the test, guess all the right ones, have a perfect mindset, and your life will take off.

But let's make this clear beforehand: if you don't perform well, don't blame me for adding an extra chapter today.

Haha, relax! The college entrance exam doesn't determine your life; it just assigns you different starting points. But you can't give up on a bright future just because your starting point isn't high enough, right? After studying for so many years, you should have a chance to showcase what you've learned.

Just do your best, and leave the rest to fate.

At worst, they can become hardworking writers like me, and if they update like crazy, they can still make a living.

In short, I wish you success in the college entrance examination and a wonderful life.
