Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 766, Section 44. Lady Titan, please consider your current situation before you speak!
Azshara sealed off Azeroth from the outside world, and a massive Firstborn Cipher Seal encircled the planet, like a temporary Dyson sphere, locking away all possibilities for demons to enter and leave.

Warriors throughout the world, obeying the Queen's decree, have begun a resolute campaign to slay demons and monsters.

Fighting alone was too inefficient, so with the coordination of the saviors, the four continents formed alliances of power.

Lothar took the lead in the eastern continent, integrating the forces of the Sdomkar Empire and Quel'Thalas, and pushed southwards from the northern frontier, with dwarves, gnomes, and a portion of the dragons serving as support along the way.

It swept across the ground like mercury, leaving no chance for the demons.

Kalimdor, led by Malfurion and Tyrande, united the elves and the Mag'har orcs who came to assist them, and with the quilboars of Razorfen Downs as their vanguard, they also pushed southward in a straight line.

However, Kalimdor is indeed a land of outstanding people and resources, with the Star Soul Temple. In the south of the continent, there are also the rising Tol'vir people and the Haraniel elves who guard the World Tree Elshia.

They also joined the expulsion of the demons, so Kalimdor was divided into north and south, with the goal of completely eradicating the demons that had accumulated in the Thousand Needles in the center of the continent.

Pandaria was the first place the demons invaded and where the situation was worst, so the pandaren received strong support!

Queen Azshara of the Zandalari Elf Empire personally led a massive army composed of the Imperial Loa and the Royal Guard, along with the remaining Golden Fleet, to Pandaria. Several Naga clans who had readily surrendered even joined the battle as the Queen's "Marine Corps."

The Pandaren leader, Lord Zhutalan, was very pleased with this. After the two sides met on Thunder Isle, they began their extermination of demons from the Mantid Plateau.

The far north of Northrend is the most barren land, with few living beings. As a result, most of the demons' military forces there are directed at the Titan city of Ulduar.

However, the Guardians were no pushovers. Especially with the return of the three Titan Souls, the Guardians unleashed tremendous power. After the return of Odin, the War Lord, the Guardians assembled a large army that combined Titan Guardians and Vrykul, and began to sweep across the continent of Northrend.

Other regions formed alliances of different civilizations, with their respective saviors serving as leaders. In an instant, the war atmosphere in Azeroth shifted to a fierce counterattack. In addition, the starships of the Holy Light Fleet provided ample firepower support for the counterattackers. In less than a few days, the previously arrogant and domineering demons became pariahs.

Unfortunately, the undead army of the Shadowlands did not stay in Azeroth for long.

Commanders like the Lord of War focus on the battlefield of the entire material world. They need to reduce the number of Abyssal Oath-takers to a level that the cycle of life and death can bear as quickly as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously and proactively expand the scale of the war.

After the tide of war turned in Azeroth, the army of the dead left behind a mixed force to carry out follow-up missions and conduct diplomacy in Azeroth, while the majority of the remaining forces traveled to different worlds via a tributary of the River of Souls.

The undead, victorious in their first battle, are led by the demon slayers to different demon worlds, where they will wage war against fel energy across the entire galaxy!
The clash between the two forces has never been portrayed so directly and fiercely. Whether it is fel energy or death, there is no turning back at this critical juncture, and the two sides must determine a winner.

This also aligns with the fundamental concept of the Force's balance of power, which states that when one Force becomes too dominant, the other suppressed Forces will unite to weaken it.

Arcane magic of the past and fel magic of today both follow this balance.

But this is just the beginning!
Death is merely the vanguard of other Forces; to be precise, this suppression and weakening of Fel energy was not even initiated by the Force of Death.

The Void Force was the first to make a move!

If you don't believe me, just look at the Shadow Chasing Insect swarm that's still kicking and swirling around in the Twisting Void.

The casualties they have caused in the Twisting Nether over the past six months far exceed those of this demonic war in Azeroth. Mortals are unaware of this, but for those with enough foresight, the "decline of fel energy" has arrived.

The demons had roamed the material star sea for 25,000 years, and banning them at the start of this new season was a necessary operation for balance considerations.

That makes sense, right?
Since we've mentioned the Noble Ones, we must discuss the current state of the three Titan Souls in Azeroth.

They did not go to Ulduar, the city of the Titans.

Firstly, the Supreme Star-Soul of Azeroth and Lord Argus are watching them, preventing Titan Souls from venturing into Ulduar. Although the Unified Field of All Things has been shut down, if any Titan Soul goes mad, it can still risk restarting this restraint.

Secondly, both Norgannon and Gorgonus were purified from their fallen Titan forms, making them extremely weak. Norgannon was even trapped by the World Tree Tayara, demonstrating their apparent strength masking underlying weakness.

Such exhaustion and weakness clearly required immediate treatment. Therefore, compared to Ulduar, the World Tree El'shear, which grew from Un'Goro Crater, was obviously more suitable for the Titan Souls' current needs. Led by Eonar, who was in slightly better condition, the three Titan Souls landed in the World Tree's domain.

However, El'shear is rooted in Azeroth. This World Tree, which was given to Eonar by Elune in ancient times, grew by drawing energy from the Supreme Star Soul. Therefore, whether the Titan Souls can recover quickly still depends on whether the Supreme Star Soul is willing to help them.

Given Azeroth's personality, she certainly wouldn't agree!
She was already showing great kindness by not banishing these three unfortunate souls and sending them back to the Star Sea to suffer Sargeras's torment. Allowing them to rest in their own world was already a great favor. How could she possibly want more gifts?
Why!
Based on the stupid things you've done to the world in the past?
Look at the mess you left behind; you almost dragged the Supreme Star Soul into an abyss of no return.

Besides, we haven't even reached an agreement on the important matters yet. What if you guys run away after the recovery?
In this situation, on the sixth day of the great counter-offensive in the demon war, a group of guests finally secretly visited Elshia.

The Exodar landed in the swamp of the crater, leaving a trail of holy light. The original terrain and environment had been completely altered by the rapid growth of the World Tree.

As the ancient World Tree, El'isha's canopy is enormous, almost covering the entire sky above the crater. All the other trees here have been transformed into part of El'isha, but the good news is that the once continuous swamps have been reshaped into a vast grassland under the World Tree, and the famous Firefeather Mountain and hot springs have also been preserved.

Perhaps it was a gift from the World Tree that made these places the new home of the mysterious Haraniel.

As the Twin Archbishops and Archbishop Nelly approached the World Tree with a group of Lightforged, they could still see some young Haraniel soaking in the hot springs, laughing and joking.

These elves were still young, and their elders forbade them from venturing into the dangerous demon battlefield. Instead, they were to remain in the crater to tame the ancient demon dragons as allies. The one who came to greet these visitors was an old acquaintance of the Lightforged, Captain Ovina of the Haraniel Farwalkers, who had once met Saint Diakum.

After more than half a year, the adventurous Captain Haraniel's signature red coat has been replaced with a more respectable red robe, decorated with some roots and vines.

All of this signifies that Ovina has been promoted within their system, becoming the youngest elder.

"Lord Eonar awaits your visit in the temple of Elshuar."

Ovina greeted Iriel and the others, then addressed the three archbishops with a serious expression:
"Through the salvation of that Elder Hatton, Lord Ionar has learned of the Eredar's great plan to restore their homeland, and she is willing to assist in repaying the Eredar's kindness in saving her from the demon's torment."

However, there are still some details in this matter that need to be discussed again.

Please follow me!

The Temple of Elshia was once a Titan city where the World Tree seed was stored. Although it has long been deactivated, powerful Titan guardians still reside within. Wandering around inside could lead to unnecessary danger.

The three archbishops, who represent the entire Eredar civilization, behaved quite appropriately today.

Led by the Eredar's Night God of War, the twins followed closely behind, with the other Lightforged serving as guards. Notably, Yrel carried two holy blades on her back: her own Ashbringer sword and the Ashbringer sword of Diakum, the Lord of Dawn.

Dick did not take his divine sword to the highest heavens. After all, he had a spiritual connection with his weapon, and could arrive instantly even if it was thousands of miles away when summoned by the gods. In addition, the material world was not peaceful at present, so it was not surprising that the holy blade was left to his disciple as a "last resort".

Similarly, Archbishop Saloras carried the sleeping Twilight Hammer at his waist, as well as the Spirit Scythe that had been given to General Staghelm long ago.

These are all divine weapons closely connected to Diakum, representing that when necessary, through the connection of these genuine artifacts, the Vigilant can smoothly project his power into the material star sea.

But to truly witness the convergence of immense power, one must look at the Sunstrider warhammer that my great-uncle was carrying at that moment.

This thing is amazing.

The burning will of the ancient naaru combined to make this warhammer even more powerful than Ashbringer, putting Marad under immense pressure and making him dare not use this weapon in battle.

He tried it out yesterday in the battle to reclaim the Western Wilderness. As a result, although he took away thousands of demons with one swing of his hammer, he also destroyed the Deadmines of the Western Wilderness, along with Moonbrook and Dagger Ridge.

That sacred flame is still burning today, and it is conservatively estimated that it will burn for at least several months or even several years before it goes out.

The Vigilant's bestowal of these artifacts upon them was clearly not for them to use in ordinary combat. Rather than a gift of weapons, it was more like giving his disciples an opportunity to comprehend the supreme mysteries of light and shadow.

However, all three of them brought this artifact with them when they came to pay homage to the Titan's Soul today, making the hidden threat self-evident.

If the Titans are ignorant and cannot reason, then we Eredar can also speak the principles of physics!

They followed Ovina into the Titan city nestled beneath the canopy of Elshia. Haraniel hadn't lied to them; the Titan city had indeed been shut down long ago. Although it was surrounded by life force, its dilapidated state was undeniable. For countless years, the temple had remained hidden underground.

Although the city is large, it has been reshaped by Haraniel's activities, with some stilt houses and artificial statues surrounding the city that resemble troll architecture.

It's very similar to the scenery of Dazar'alo.

However, the main temple area remained solemn, guarded by powerful Titan guardians. Even before entering, one could feel the immense pressure emanating from the three Titan souls.

They are all here.

Ovina pushed open the temple doors and gestured for the visitors to enter.

She herself did not go in, clearly because the matter the Eredar wanted to discuss with the Titans was none of their concern.

Haraniel was a small tribe, and as an elder, Ovina did not want her people to be involved in important matters that they were powerless to handle.

The three archbishops entered the temple, while the Lightforged remained outside.

Nellie looked up and saw a ray of moonlight shining down from nowhere, enveloping Lady Eonar, who was resting on the huge throne. It was said that Eonar and Lady Elune were closely related, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case. Lady Elune was using her moonlight to heal the Titan of Life.

The two seem to have a very close relationship, even more like "sisters" than Elune and the Queen of Winter.

"I already know why you've come."

Bathed in moonlight, Lady Ional leaned back on her throne. She didn't mince words, but spoke earnestly:

"Once I recover somewhat, I will begin dismantling the Unifying Field of All Things in Azeroth! I can ensure that those Titan creations can be removed without disrupting the planet's stability."

However, transplanting them to the planet Argus according to your restoration plan is somewhat difficult.

On my way here, I had several conversations with Elder Hatton. We simulated the difficulty of reinstalling the unified field of all things, and the conclusion was that it was almost impossible to complete.

The vast distance between the worlds of Azeroth and Argus is far beyond what ordinary people can easily traverse; you cannot even find a vehicle capable of carrying the unified field device for all things.

The size of the Origin Forge alone exceeds the capacity of even your largest starship.

The Titan of Life shook his head and said:
"You must understand, Eredar, that's a Titan device tailor-made for the Supreme Star Soul. Its size is only slightly smaller than the continent of that small world called Draenor."
"All the node devices of the Unified Field of Everything, stacked together, are comparable in size to the planet Draenor. How are you going to transport them to Argus, and how are you going to re-implant them despite the obstacles posed by demons and Sargeras?"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Archbishop Nelly said in a deep voice:

“We have specific plans and strategies, and we will create opportunities for you and your brothers to take action, but it may only happen once, so you can only succeed, failure is not an option!”

"You are responsible for keeping the planet from shattering. Lord Gorgonas can use his powers to restore the magnificent sea and sky of our homeland before the Unifying Field of All Things takes effect on Argus. Lord Norgannon should weave a complete dream of the world for the revived Argus, so as to ensure that the purified star soul can enter slumber smoothly."

Saloras said calmly:
“The three of you each have your own responsibilities. When we release Khaz'goroth from the demons, He will also reshape the planetary system of Argus to ensure that the threat of fel energy is completely eliminated and Argus is restored to its most perfect state.”

All Titan Souls must participate!

We are not inviting you, nor are we requesting you; we are asking you to do this as the price we pay for freeing you from the clutches of evil energy!

"Mortal, you are far too arrogant!"

Ional whispered:
“We are so weak that fulfilling our duties as you require would force us to return to our respective homeworlds and slumber for several epochs before we can awaken again, but the Arcane Path still needs our support.”

"The Arcane Path has a newly emerged lesser god, and Queen Azshara is going to carry out sweeping reforms. Your presence in the ruins of the Pantheon will only hinder her operations."

Auress said rather bluntly:

"People from the previous generation should have honestly handed over the stage to more energetic young people, instead of clinging to their positions of power and refusing to step down! You tried your ideas, but you failed and ended up in such a desperate situation, didn't you?"
Moreover, we must have our reasons for asking you to do this.
"Hmph, do you even know that your Pantheon harbors a 'ghost'?"
