Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 783, Section 61: Anser and All Living Beings - From Today Onward, Be a Good Sun
When Diakum returned to the Highest Heaven, the ninety-nine bells of this glorious paradise rang in unison, a welcome and celebration of the victorious return of the Lord of the Highest Heaven, while the radiance of the High Heaven transformed into a rainbow-like curtain, as if to wash away the dust of Diakum's journey.

The exaggerated ceremony left the guards feeling utterly bewildered.

He is truly a very low-key Warrior of Light. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to create such an exaggerated scene every time he goes out and returns home.

But no way.

Having reached this level of life, his position, high above the heavens, naturally causes his every move to resonate with this primal force.

In the future, if you want to travel incognito, you can no longer use your divine body; you can only use the method of using a faith avatar to conceal your identity. Fortunately, Diakum doesn't have much to worry about right now.

Once the Burning Legion is defeated in Azeroth and the sun of the universe is ignited, Diakum will have only one final task left to complete in this sea of ​​stars.

That's what all Eredar people dream about.

Liberate our homeland!

This is the final step of his "main quest." With this completed, Dick's journey in the starry sea of ​​Azeroth will temporarily come to an end. Perhaps it is because his journey is coming to an end that Diakum has awakened something "strange."

In recent days, during each of his meditations and prayers, his consciousness has been experiencing some strange things.

It was as if a group of people were talking around him.
A group of people he can't see, but who are real, who even criticize his behavior, buzz around like a swarm of flies, which is very annoying.

This is enough to prove that the other side has many people, and it is definitely not just one or two.

But Diakum didn't react much to it. After repeatedly checking that his mind hadn't been affected by the pressure and that his morality remained firm and his will was still pure and fervent, the Vigilant put the matter out of his mind.

Let them say what they want, let the flies buzz as they please, just treat it as a "piety check" during your prayers.

"I witnessed the horrific war waged by the Shadow Chaser swarm in the Sea of ​​No Light. Given their destructive power and rate of reproduction, are you planning to annihilate this season's Void life?"

As Diakum made his way from the sacred platform toward the Eredar-style temple tower where he usually resided, he saw Gracedia flapping her wings and landing.

The archangel was deeply worried at this moment, and she said:
"Could this cause the power of the void to weaken rapidly, leading to a renewed imbalance in the six fundamental forces that had already shown signs of equilibrium?"

"I have no intention of destroying anything, and I will not."

The vigilant explained:

"The remnants of the Eclipse Faction must be completely eradicated. This is not only our requirement, but also the demand of the Truth Hunters who are about to take on the heavy responsibility entrusted to them by the Will of the Void."

The territories of those Void Lords of the Eclipse Faction must be 'purified' to prevent the emergence of extremists who call for eclipses in the Sea of ​​No Light, which could potentially trigger the defiled sun we sealed in the Void and cause unnecessary chaos.

As for whether other Void Lords will continue to resist the Swarm's conquest after the Eclipse faction's territory is cleared, I am optimistic.

The Void forces must be held accountable for the numerous crimes they have committed in the material world over the years; the balance of the Force is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for them.

As for imbalance
no, I can not.

Since the Zerg are also Void life forms, their existence is part of the Void's power. Theoretically, even if the civilization of the Sea of ​​No Light is completely wiped out by the Zerg this season, the power of the Void faction will not be reduced as a result.

This is 'internal digestion,' only the power has shifted from the incompetent Abyss Children to the more capable Swarm.

Don't worry, the Void faction's disorganized state will eventually be forced to turn towards true unity under the threat of the Zerg Swarm. That means the power of the Void Force will be 'infinitely subdivided,' and the erroneous era of numerous and corrupt Void lesser gods will be completely ended.

This is inherent in the self-desire of the void will.

We merely fulfilled His desire through the swarm, which is why we were allowed to launch this expedition, even though we represent the wrath of the Holy Light, it is, after all, the territory of the Void.

"If the Will of the Void hadn't given its approval, this Expedition to the Sun would never have gone so smoothly."

Grace nodded.

She didn't really care about those Abyss People. You see, when the Sea of ​​No Light invaded the Shadowlands, it was her Fortress of Ascension that she chose.

The eldest daughter has a personal grudge against the Void forces.

What she was truly worried about was the question she had asked. If the Force were to become unbalanced again, it would definitely cause even more turmoil, a disaster that Grace, who was currently "living a vegetarian diet and chanting Buddhist prayers," did not want to see.

she says:

"Therefore, this Holy War of the Sun, launched by the Holy Light Force, is in essence an internal purge jointly promoted by the Holy Light and the Void."

"Yes, this was made possible because of my special status."

Diakum smiled and said:
"As for the Void Will's aversion and resistance to me, it's not a big problem. The will of the Force is not as vivid as the thinking of living beings, and it can't quickly change course, but it will always consider the gains and losses from the perspective of the Force."

One day, it will realize what my bringing the Shadow Chaser swarm back to the Sea of ​​No Light means to it, and then my title as a 'rebellious son' will finally be washed away.

But I have already surrendered myself to the Holy Light and become the dawn, so the Void's favor toward me is merely icing on the cake.

However, it's always good to form a connection with the Dharma.

Light and darkness are not only opposites, but also have a deeper connection.

Light without a shadow is not light, and a shadow without light is merely chaos.

He raised his head and glanced at the highest heavens, where the magnificent and sacred sun, surrounded by golden veins of light, hung high, and said:
“Anser has returned to the correct constellation, hasn’t he?”

"Yes, under our watchful gaze and the protection of the moonlight, the sun has returned to the Father Nebula."

Grace reported:

"Zera and the other Naaru remained beneath the throne of the sun, guarding their 'Father of the Sun,' but the blazing will of Anser had detached from His body and gone to a mysterious place."

Zera said that once Anser's consciousness returns, He will come to visit you.

In addition, Zela also said.

The archangel hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
“It seems that God Anser does not intend to return to the Holy Light. He explained to Zera himself that there cannot be two suns in the sky, and that you already preside over the Holy Light. He no longer needs to compete with you for the power of the Holy Light. It seems that God Anser intends to fulfill His duties in this era in a more magnificent and selfless manner.”

Diakum nodded.

He did not comment on this, but Anser's proactive response avoided many potential problems that might have arisen due to the different powers of the two true gods.

Seeing how noble and virtuous others were, Diakum felt he should perhaps do the same.

But how do you express your attitude?
With these thoughts in mind, Dick bid farewell to Grace, instructing her to quickly guide the fallen People of Light to the High Heavens, before returning to his Dawn Temple to complete his daily prayer.

The moment he entered meditation, those chattering sounds began again:
"You're so incompetent! How could you leave such a huge hidden danger?"

"Exactly, exactly. Anser said there can't be two suns in the sky. Doesn't that mean He will definitely kill you quietly in the future, or be killed by you in some conflict? The symbols of the sun and the eclipse are so perfectly matched that there's no need to give Him any face."

Just kill them!

Seize the power of the sun and become the only sun in the sea of ​​Azeroth!
loyalty!"

"Take us one more time, Dick Kaka!"

"go away!"

Diakum waved his hand to shoo away the noise.

To be honest, the way these guys skillfully use these "memes" that only he can understand in this starry sea makes their identities seem pretty obvious.

But the vigilant knows that it is not time to reveal these mysteries until he reaches the finish line.

------

Anser lay on the operating table in a conscious state.

Not far away, Chief Creator Lishwim was preparing for the consciousness stripping surgery.

The chief creator under the First Creator was in a very good mood. It even used its own resonance chamber to hum a strange folk song from an unknown world, in the rhythm of the chords of all things.

When Anser turned to look at the other side of the laboratory, the museum that had originally housed the creations of the First Ones had been replaced with many "strange" things. These were all mortal objects from this galaxy of matter.

Some items are highly collectible, while others are completely incomprehensible to Anser, such as a few ordinary stones covered in children's graffiti and a silver "magic lamp" with a strange element hidden inside.

For example, a broken mirror!

When Anser's gaze fell on the mirror, he saw a tall, bald traveler wearing a tattered cloak, leaning on a wooden staff, walking barefoot across a desolate desert, with a chattering goblin guide beside him.

Who is that?
Anther couldn't help but think, and as his consciousness shifted, a ray of solar fire shone from the star in the Azeroth system, allowing Anther to get a closer look at the desert called "Shimmering Plains" and the bald man traveling there.

He even overheard the goblin guide riding a camel cunningly luring the bald man into participating in a strange event called a "racing competition," claiming that he would definitely make a lot of money.

Just as Anser's will transformed into the hot wind under the sun to eavesdrop on the goblin guide's "language art," the silent bald man suddenly raised his head.

He “glanced at” Anser.

Beneath the hood, a rugged yet philosophically peaceful face smiled at the bald man whose head and face were covered with strange tattoos, as if he were greeting him.

hiss.
This guy can actually sense Him?

"Well, that's Zovar, an exile, a seeker of knowledge who is dead but not yet dead."

Lishwim's distinctive voice brought Anser back from his distant gaze.

Beside the operating table, the chief creator explained as he prepared for the surgery:

"Diacom gave Him an opportunity to seek the truth. The Vigilant believed that Zovar had great morality but did not understand the suffering of all beings. He hoped that Zovar could discover His past mistakes through His own eyes."

Only after that could Zovar return to the place of his birth and face death in peace.

This is a form of punishment, or arbitration.

I've been following Zovar's journey; it's quite entertaining, especially the incident a few days ago in that goblin city that's currently being rebuilt, where he was tricked out of all his luggage, which caused him to break down and made me laugh for a full ten minutes.

If it weren't for another goblin tycoon hiring him as a thug to seize territory, this guy, who was once a true god, would probably be struggling to even eat in that materialistic city.

"Wow, the starry sky of this era is so interesting! It's far more interesting than the blueprints designed by the First Creators. Amazing things are happening every day!"

"Yes, even though I have only been awake for a short time, I have already seen a mesmerizing, colorful sea of ​​stars. It is noisy and chaotic, yet full of life."

Anser sighed:
"Wasn't it for this sea of ​​stars that I went to fight against the original darkness? These children did a great job. Their efforts to survive were more determined and more enjoyable than I imagined."

"so what?"

Lishwim picked up the antimatter scalpel, gently bound Anser's soul with the Chord of All Things, and then made a downward cut.

It performed the surgery with a multitasking attitude that worried the patient, while also asking curiously:

"So how will you fulfill your duties afterward? Will you shine upon all things like the sun, or will you bestow your blessings upon every living being that sings praises to the sun?"

Diakum knows you are important, but the Vigilant, limited by his origins, does not truly understand the terrifying potential of you, the 'creation of the Firstborn'. If you wish, the stars will revolve around you.

Elune can't do it because she's not Musha. Musha chose to give up, but you are still you!

The 'something' left here by the Firstborn is still here.

In fact, your very existence is another extension and manifestation of the grand blueprint of the First Creator; you can choose whether or not to have it.

"No, I don't intend to do that."

Anser closed his eyes, feeling the dark aura that had been entangled with him for countless years being peeled away bit by bit.

As Lishwim's surgery progressed, He said:

"Diacom told me that I should not deprive ordinary people of the opportunity to create great things with their own hands, and that I should not arbitrarily interfere in their fate in the name of 'for their own good'."

For tasks they can accomplish on their own, all I can offer is my attention and blessings.

Only when they face a hopeless situation against which they have no way to fight will the sun of salvation shine down.

My presence or my absence will not make much difference.

The only difference is that when the living are desperate, as long as they are willing to embrace the sun, new hope will emerge.

I will not be a symbol of holy light; I will not be so narrow-minded. I want to be the sun for all living beings, shining fairly upon every life.

原力
"It will have nothing to do with me anymore!"

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Lishwim said in surprise:

"The six fundamental forces form the foundation of the universe and the starry sea. If you choose to no longer come into contact with the fundamental forces, it means that you will lose the ability to directly intervene in the evolution of the starry sea."

This is not good.

Your sister, or rather your niece Elune, is very clever. She followed Musa's instructions and became the true god of the life force.

Perhaps you should also

"No, that was Elune's choice, not mine."

Anser shook his head and said:
"I don't want to get involved in any more conflicts. I've already fought all the battles I needed to fight, and I don't want to expose this warm sunshine to the flames of war anymore."

And you are mistaken, sir.

You seem to have overlooked the fact that this cosmic constellation, born from the Firstborn, also has its own resistance. There is a force that does not originate from the design of the Firstborn; it exists independently of the six fundamental forces, yet it continuously shapes new worlds within the sea of ​​matter, and through their collisions, it brings forth the origin of life.

element!

You also failed to notice the true potential of this small but real power.

"Now that you mention it, I realize I really didn't notice those strange things."

The chief creator stroked his chin and said:

"It seems my standards were too high."

Sigh, it's my old problem. I can never calm down and observe those underlying things. Indeed, the emergence of elemental power was not in the blueprint of the First Creators, but the elements can achieve a wonderful resonance with the six primal forces, and every Star Soul can perfectly control the power of the elements.

That was their original power.

Therefore, if the six fundamental forces originated from the design of the First Ones, then the elemental forces are the true 'self' of this planet.

They possess potential but are not powerful enough. Now that you have intervened, elemental power will soon be within their grasp.

Wonderful!

Those who are not accepted by the Six Forces will also have their own new path.

"Uh, I hadn't thought that much about it."

Anser honestly replied:
"I just don't want to get involved in the conflict between the six fundamental forces anymore, but I also want to retain my ability to observe and intervene in the world. I just want to protect all living beings and safeguard the Satellite River."

Yes.

This is my only wish!
Let me look a little longer, let me continue to appreciate these earthly scenes that bring me joy, let me be a good sun, not a powerful yet cold and indifferent one.

"If you want it, fine, then so be it. Since you don't need 'these things' anymore, I'll cut them off, okay?"
