Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 564, Section 25. The first challenge for the dragons after awakening in the new era is: to survive until dawn!
Lysajers made a cool entrance.

It has to be said that this "Storm Dragon" skin is indeed quite high-class, and like Jade Dragon Celestial Venerable, it has a feeling of gentleness with a touch of fortitude. However, in reality, Lysajes' "repentance" state is not over yet.

Diakum hasn't seen her in ages, how could he have had time to remove her from the penitent state?

In other words, this once mad and chaotic dragon has been "reminiscing about the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present" every single moment of this period.

The terrifying mental strain, coupled with World Mother's occasional nagging, would force Diakum to flush down the toilet and down the drain if it failed to change her former personality.

Although this thing is just a lower-level concept, its origin is one of the four supreme powers of the Shadowlands. Compared with the other powers of Diakum, it is indeed not enough, but it is unreasonable to say that it is useless because of this.

It can only be said that Dick's other powers are excessively exaggerated.

Light and solar eclipse sound very powerful.

But the arrival of Lysajers meant that the release of the other avatars of dragons could not be delayed. Although Alexstrasza was still full of worries and hesitations, the other Dragon Aspects had already come to terms with it.

Nozdormu knew the truth all along. It appeared neutral but actually preferred to return to the embrace of Mother World, and it didn't even pretend in front of Diakum.

On the surface, Malygos, the old blue dragon, obeyed the red dragon queen, but in reality, he turned a blind eye to the "separatism" within his own blue dragonflight, even ignoring the blatant "factional switching" actions of Teregosa and Little Star.

This act of voluntarily giving up the power to protect the dragons can theoretically be called "traitorous," but Little Star still runs to the Nexus whenever he has nothing to do, inciting a group of young blue dragons to secretly make "pilgrimages" to the Chamber of the Heart.

Malygos is the symbol of wisdom.

Therefore, we should not look at what it says, but at what it does.

The Blue Dragonflight is currently in such a chaotic state that it is on the verge of "disbanding" that even veteran Blue Dragons like Eldragosa are considering "splitting up." This shows that Malygos has already made a decision on this matter, but he cannot say it directly because of his friendship with Tyr.

The situation for Red Dragons is not optimistic either.

Krasus, the Red Dragon Queen's most beloved consort and the Red Dragon Archmage, has not appeared before the other Dragon Lords for a long time. Rumors suggest that Krasus has been frequently appearing in Dalaran and maintaining a rather delicate relationship with the Saviors.

Little Star had secretly told her grandfather that she had seen a red dragon that looked a lot like Krasus fly by in the Silithus desert.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the Red Dragon Queen, the leader who protects the dragons, actually has her own plans in private.

But she is the leader who protects the dragons.

Before she can make a real decision, she must maintain even a superficial unity among the guardian dragons.

Igwen is optimistic about this development.

She knew very well that when the five-colored dragon squad handed Tyr's Platinum Disc to the dragon kings, it would only be a matter of time before the dragons returned to the embrace of the Supreme Star Soul.

The dragons are indeed loyal to their duties, but that doesn't mean they can accept a past where they were deceived.

dragon.
In the various myths and legends of Azeroth, people are often portrayed as petty and narrow-minded.

The reason why Saint Diakum has never taken coercive measures against the guardian dragons is because the dragons can think for themselves and repent. Given time, they can make their own decisions. There is no need to use force to add fuel to the fire and push things out of control.

If another "Scaleborn War" were to break out in this era, it would definitely drag other races into it, and it would turn into a world war in Azeroth, which would be quite unpleasant.

After making simple arrangements for the restoration of the Dragon City of Valdraken, the Dragon Kings flew with Lysages to Tyr Fortress, a place nestled in the mountains east of Valdraken.

The Dragon Islands are not large; their total area is smaller than the Broken Islands, which are occupied by the Highborne Elves. However, the terrain here is indeed complex.

The landscape here is a combination of hills suitable for red dragons, lava volcanoes favored by black dragons, jungles and shady forests for green dragons, deserts for bronze dragons, and snowfields for blue dragons.

Dragons should live in places like this, instead of being trapped outside their homeland and forced to search for their own holy sites all over Azeroth.

Even if they migrate back to Dragon Island, the other existing sacred sites will probably not be abandoned. The dragons born outside will need some time to readjust to their homeland.

Moreover, the sacred sites guarding the dragons have all been transformed by magic of order.

Places like the Caverns of Time, where time networks intersect, should never be open to mortals, even if the Bronze Dragons return to their homeland.

In any case, the return of the dragons to Dragon Island symbolizes that their reproduction and reproduction will return to normal, and Malygos, who has been worried about the small number of Blue Dragonflight troops, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Dragon Island has a special flow of energy, and the red dragons have set up quite sophisticated breeding facilities on the Awakening Coast, enough to ensure that every dragon egg is safely hatched.

This relieved the young blue dragons who had been constantly pressured by their elders to get married.

Even the blue dragons who were already married and had mates were secretly pleased, as they no longer had to exert themselves to maintain a "marital relationship" that neither of them really cared about.

From now on, the carefree blue dragons will only need to find a pleasing member of their own kind to mate with at specific times, lay dragon eggs, and then give them to the red dragons. They can then spend the rest of their time chasing after their favorite foreign girls/handsome guys.

In response, Malygos could only lament, "The order of things has collapsed, and the hearts of dragons have lost their way." What else could he do?

Its perfect marriage with Sindragosa will probably become a perfect love story to be sung about by the blue dragons in the future, but only things that are unattainable are sung about, and no one sings about things they see every day.

Blue Dragon, perhaps it was already crooked from the very beginning.

"Look, Tyre Fortress! Ten thousand years have passed, and it is still as magnificent as we remember it."

Alexstrasza hovered in the air and said to the other dragon kings:
"The lack of guards has caused the Titan creations here to seem to have gone out of control. We need to go to the Energy Hall to reset the energy cycle there."

"I will be responsible."

Malygos said:
“Ms. Aegwynn told me that it is also a node of the unified field of all things that needs to be closed. After the energy hall is connected to the power of the world, our holy spring will return to its original sweetness.”

"You should rename this place 'Odorus' according to the customs of the dragon race."

The cloud-shrouded Lysages loathed the Titan fortress built against the mountainside before him, and said in an icy tone:
"I remember that the sacred spring used to be located in the mountain spring, and all the proto-dragons could come here to drink the water of that powerful pool. But after the Titan Guardians added the magic of order to it, no proto-dragons were willing to come."

You heeded the advice of those seducers and appropriated the gifts that Mother World gave to the dragons.

Ah, this perfectly demonstrates the selfishness of the Titan Guardians.

The Dragon Kings remained silent in response.

Those are all things from before the War of the Scaled Races; we've already agreed to turn the page and not keep bringing them up.

“Azadas said that the reforging equipment Tyr left for himself is in the fortress’s energy platform, but we need to find the token first.”

Nozdormu said to his sisters:

"We can come back to that later. Let's go deeper into the Dragon Avatar's Lair, which has been sealed for over 20,000 years. We don't know if it's peaceful there. Saint Diakum is already there and he's waiting for us."

Malygos, Neltharion II is there too. Don't be impulsive this time, okay?

The old blue dragon kept his eyes closed and didn't speak.

But judging from the magical flames spewing from its nostrils, it clearly had no intention of getting along peacefully with "Deathwing II".

Even though it had clearly realized during the battle in the dream that Neltharion II did not resemble the Black Dragon King in its memory at all.

As the storm that accompanied Lysages fell upon the hidden prison deep in the mountains, Dick, who was discussing with Aegwynn how to deal with the remaining nodes of the Unified Field of All Things, looked up at the Thunderstrike Dragon falling from the clouds.

He said with emotion:

"Supreme Star Soul's aesthetic sense is becoming more and more concrete. Look how beautiful the 'dragon skin' she picked out for Lessages is! Wait, haven't I canceled her repentance yet? Has she been reflecting on her mistakes all this time?"

"Hiss, this mental strain is definitely going to be immense."

"I don't think you should cancel."

Aegwynn crossed her arms and said:
"Lesages's personality is too unstable, perhaps because she once controlled wind and thunder, making her as unpredictable as a storm. But the World Mother needs a stable elemental monarch, so let her continue to repent like this."

Anyway, it doesn't affect her state during battle. Being well-behaved normally is better than her previous crazy behavior.

The proto-dragons of Northrend have been subdued by Lysajers. The World Mother believes the proto-dragons urgently need to evolve, and the transformed dragons will undoubtedly become their leaders once again. They also deserve a perfect model for growth.

"But isn't that the same thing the Titans did?"

Wearing a black hood, Neltharion II couldn't help but question:

"This is how the Titans disciplined us. Will Mother World follow the same path?"

"The difference between the two is that if some proto-dragons are unwilling to defend the world, Mother World will not blame them."

Aegwynn reminded:

“But the Titans never gave you a choice.” “The true meaning of freedom is not doing whatever you want, that’s called ‘chaos.’ True ‘freedom’ is being able to clearly refuse when you don’t want to do something.”

Dick added, saying:

"The ability to distinguish between chaos and freedom is the foundation for determining disorder and order. Whispers of the void, when tempting others, readily confuse these concepts in order to disrupt the rules of the world as you see them."

You can hear those whispers, right?

"Ah."

Neltharion II nodded and said:

“After Mother World 'incubated' me, those whispers often surfaced in my mind. Because darkness lies hidden beneath the earth, being the Earth Warden in Azeroth means enduring the torment of the Void.”

That's how Deathwing fell into corruption.

And the 'Stone Scale Dragon' Ilyudicon, one of the dragon avatars we'll be releasing later, can also manipulate the power of the earth. I suspect it might also…

"No need to doubt it."

Diakum waved his hand and said:
"Before Neltharion went mad, he always regarded Ilydikorn as his greatest rival. Both of them lived in caves on the primordial continent. Ilydikorn felt just as many of the temptations that Neltharion could feel."

But the stone-scaled dragon resisted temptation with one thing, at least it did not completely fall.

Hatred!

It uses its hatred for the Titans to resist the erosion of the Void.

That profound emotion gave it a strong enough will; it was a stubborn fellow.

Fortunately, its stubbornness can indeed come in handy in this era.

"buzz"

The dragon kings landed on the giant rock platform hidden by the mountains and transformed into human form.

Lysajers also transformed into human form amidst the storm. She did not adjust her human form's illusion, retaining her original form that was a mixture of troll and Vrykul. However, the howling wind and lightning surrounding Lysajers filled her with majesty.

However, Diakum noticed a large book chained to Lessages in his human form and asked:
"Is that your 'confession book'?"

"Yes, it is also the 'Book of the Dead' of the Proto-Dragon."

The Thunder-Devouring Dragon stroked the book she had created, and sighed:

"The lives of all my compatriots who died because of me are recorded here, but it is far from over."

I know that the power of your repentance is influencing me. At first, I resisted this 'spiritual transformation', but as those bloody past events were gradually revealed, and when I saw with my own eyes the current dire living conditions of the progenitor dragon, I realized that we had indeed made a mistake.

We should not resist the ancestral dragon's journey towards civilization; maintaining barbarity is nothing to be proud of.

But we will never accept the civilization bestowed upon us by the Titans.
Fortunately, Mother World has awakened in this era, and our mother will lead us towards our own civilization. I want to share my reflections from this period with Velanos; she will surely be very pleased.

She looked up at the cave that had trapped her brothers and sisters for over 20,000 years.

she says:

“Willanoz had been teaching me, trying to make me less impulsive and to help me understand what was worth protecting, but I was too combative and let her down.”

She's the best older sister; only she can lead us!

The Dragon Mother of Northrend, 'Veranus', was a baby dragon hatched by Vilanoz. I spoke with her after I beat her up, and Vilanus was very willing to return to the ranks of the Frozen Heart Dragons.

The entire far north will become Velanoz's territory, a paradise for the proto-dragons.

"how about you?"

Archbishop Nelly blinked and said:
"I've heard that dragons have a habit of defining their territories. If you give Northrend to Velanoz, where will you go next?"

“I also have my own ethnicity.”

Lysajers gave a subtle yet belligerent smile and said:
"This trip led me to inadvertently learn about a type of dragon called the 'Storm Dragon,' and I suspect that those born with the ability to control storms are my direct descendants. I've heard that a Titan named Odin shamelessly enslaved them."
Look, millions of years later, I have my people and my enemies, and I have a goal. Could there be a more perfect life than this?

"Then open it here."

Upon hearing that Odin was about to be in trouble, Aegwynn grinned and waved to the dragon kings.

Under Malygos's glare, Neltharion II walked to Ysera's side, and the five of them simultaneously mobilized their power to reopen the massive stone prison that had been sealed away by the five of them more than 20,000 years ago.

The seal here was designed by Malygos and Nozdormu together, and time within it is frozen at the moment it was first closed.

Therefore, the enormous dungeon was completely empty. The Titan creations that guarded it had not been activated before Nozdormu shut them down again. Inside this cave, carved from an entire mountain, there were rather exaggerated megalithic staircases and intricate, labyrinthine corridors.

Dragons can even soar here.

They arrived unimpeded at the sealed site of the three-headed avatar dragon, which consisted of three enormous "Titan Orbs" within which the three massive avatar dragons were eternally "frozen" in a state of timelessness.

Each one, like the original Lysages, was sculpted from the magnificent elemental power and the savage, primal body of the proto-dragon. Because these three were all more powerful than Lysages, their elementalization was also more profound.

The scales of the Iceheart Dragon are covered with icy spikes, just like a moving glacier, as if the whole thing is sculpted from millennia-old ice.

The scales of the Fire Dragon were flowing with activated magma, and the blazing elemental fire formed a crown-like curved dragon horn on its forehead.

The Stone Scale Dragon is the most peculiar.

It seemed to have been sculpted and forged from rock, its cracked scales gleaming with an earthy yellow light. Notably, its forepaws were shattered, wounds inflicted by the Black Dragon King during its duel with Neltharion.

It is a "disabled" dragon that needs to use broken rocks to sculpt its forelimbs.

Even though they have been sleeping here for more than 20,000 years, the oppressive power of that force still makes the guardian dragons feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy.

"They certainly won't listen to us calmly."

The first to speak, Lysages, looked at its three brothers and sisters with a sorrowful gaze. It reached out as if to touch its former kin, but then turned back and said:

"Prepare for battle!"

The proto-dragons are wild and untamed; the only way to calm them down after their defeat in the Scaled Blood War is to defeat them first.

The Dragon Kings were well prepared. They weren't afraid; they had defeated it once 20,000 years ago, so another one wouldn't be a big problem.

However, just as they were about to break the seal, Diakum suddenly let out a helpless sigh.

Everyone turned around in unison and saw that the left hand of the Vigilant Saint had been transformed into a stream of light as dark as the night sky. This caused the Dragon Kings, who knew the power of the Saint, to take several steps back in unison.

"Break the seal! Everyone, get out!"

Diakum wiggled his already "dark" fingers and said:

"The war between the Scaled Race and the Dragon Race is ancient history, more than 20,000 years ago. Since we are now talking about the unity of the Dragon Race, let's stop fighting and killing. Prepare tea and snacks, and think it through before you have a heart-to-heart talk with them."

This is something that offends people.
"I'll do it."

"Can you do it?"

Nari exclaimed:
"Your faith incarnation is a legendary-level energy. The three dragon incarnations here are all very powerful demigods."

"Tch, it's not like a legend fighting a demigod hasn't done it before!"

Dick shrugged and said:
"Besides, do I even need to defeat them?"

I can't even control myself anymore. I'm scared of myself when I go crazy!
Therefore, what you should be worried about is whether the three-headed dragon can withstand the spread of the eclipse and whether it can survive the dark night until the next dawn.

When they're about to die, you need to risk rushing in and drag them out. I think a 'life-saving favor' might calm them down.
