As the earliest intelligent creatures in Azeroth, elemental creatures have their own pride. Not all elements are willing to serve under the ancient gods.
Among the four kings of the elements, only Ragnaros, the fire demon, was determined to follow the ancient god to conquer all directions.
The fire element is the element with the most violent personality. They are born with a thirst for turmoil and conflict, and they fall in love with the bastard of the ancient god who is afraid of the world being unstable.
Windrider Al'Akir appears to be as loyal as Ragnaros, but in fact, this guy is a complete utilitarian, and he will fall in whichever direction the wind blows.
This is also what Sunderland, the prince of the wind element, looks down upon the most about him. He thinks his father is too spineless.
The earth elementals under Stone Mother Therazan have the same temperament as her, and are naturally more Buddhist.
If they are not forced to do so, the earth elements will not want to take sides at all. They just want to live a peaceful life in their own one-third of an acre of land.
However, the tree is still but the wind is not stopping. In today's chaotic era, if you don't show some skills and attitude, sooner or later, you will be swallowed up by other forces.
The long-defeated Xal'atath is a clear example.
Although she doesn't like fighting, in order to obtain a pure land where the earth element can survive in the original Azeroth, the Stone Mother can only show her decisive killing side and join the flow of Azeroth's seemingly endless war. In the melee in Sta.
Compared with Al'Akir and Therazane, whose positions are more vacillating, Neptulon's position is very clear.
When Sarlayan met the incarnation of the Tide Hunter in Estorante before, he had said something quite emotional.
"If I didn't have a choice, I didn't want to succumb to the tentacles of the ancient gods from the beginning. During that ancient dark period, I had been thinking of ways to get rid of the control of those tentacle monsters... Unfortunately, my ability is limited. "
"Neptulon..."
The barrage reminded Sarlayan that if he could use enough chips, there was indeed hope of persuading Neptulon to rebel.
But after thinking about it carefully, Sarlayan still shook his head helplessly.
"No, I don't have enough cards in this era to come up with conditions that can make Neptulon's heart beat."
As Sarlayan's status and influence became stronger and stronger, he rarely went to the front line of the battlefield to fight in person. Most of the time, he was strategizing from a slightly behind position.
What Sarlayan is best at today is taking advantage of the situation and borrowing power from everywhere through the huge network of contacts he has accumulated over the years.
However, in the current ancient Azeroth, Sharlayan had nothing at all to draw on.
[Why not cooperate with the Titan Guardian? Not to mention Odin, who is the most difficult to deal with, Azadas, who has a relatively mild temper, should be easier to persuade, right? 】
【? 】
Before Sharlayan could answer, another part of the barrage raised objections.
[Brother, are you serious? Meeting the Titan Guardians as mortals in this era? 】
【Any questions? 】
[This is a big problem, okay! This is not an era when mortals are in charge! 】
[Think about it again, if Sarlayan comes to the Titan Guardians on his own initiative, what will be their first impression of Sarlayan? 】
[...Wait, I think I understand. 】
[You mean, they will regard Sarlayan as a product of the curse of flesh and blood? The ancient god's lackey? 】
[Bingo, correct answer. 】
【Ah this...】
[In other words, Sarlayan has no support at all in this era and can only rely on his own hands to solve the problem? 】
[Otherwise, why do you think Xiao Sa is so cautious? 】
As the barrage said, Sarlayan, who is used to taking advantage of opportunities, can only start from scratch in the current era, which gives him a long-lost sense of adventure.
[Fortunately, Valeera insisted on following. One more person can be more helpful. 】
[Right now, the only one Sarlayan can rely on is Wa Niang. In this era... it's a proper hell difficulty start. 】
Theoretically, Neptulon does have hope of instigating rebellion, but only if the water elements can see the opportunity to successfully escape after jumping back.
In this era of chaotic war where everything is too big, it is obviously not enough to rely on Sarlayan's sharp tongue.
Sarlayan and Valeera carefully avoided the warring ancient gods and titan forces, and slowly advanced through the mountains and forests toward the center of the ancient continent of Kalimdor.
Due to the raging wars caused by the four elements, the ancient gods, and the armies of Titan creations, the ecological environment of Azeroth today is extremely poor. The vegetation coverage on the planet's surface is pitifully low, and there are bare barren mountains and deserts everywhere.
In this endless environment, flying in the sky can easily attract unnecessary attention, so Sarlayan and Valeela can only choose to take a detour from the ground.
On the way, Sarlayan and Valeera took stock of the current situation. The focus of their discussion was...how to complete the test of Nozdormu.
"If this is really a branch time node, there must be a unique point that is different from the main timeline."
Valeera knew nothing about the theory of time and asked with a confused look on her face: "How do you say this?"
"Well...let me use an analogy."
Sarlayan picked up a stone and drew a line on the dry earth.
"This is the backbone of time we live on, and these..."
Sarlayan branched off many branches in the middle of this line: "These forks are the opportunities that lead to the creation of branch timelines."
"At certain important historical nodes, many different time streams will be divided based on the different choices made by the 'protagonist' in this story."
"For example, we are hungry now. I want to eat noodles and you want to eat. Depending on our choices, two completely different branch timelines will be formed."
"Of course, this is just a metaphor. In fact, it is impossible for such trivial things to spawn a branch timeline."
"Every node where a branch timeline is born will have major events that can shake the future of Azeroth, such as the end of the Dark Empire we are currently in."
Valeela said thoughtfully: "In other words, we need to find the singularity that led to the birth of this branched timeline and find a way to repair it. Only in this way can we complete the test of Nozdormu?"
"That's right."
Sarlayan threw the stone aside and dusted his hands.
"This is the basic theory for the birth of branch timelines. The bronze dragons have been busy with these things for so many years. Their duty is to maintain the stability of the time flow and prevent those branch timelines from developing enough to affect the main line."
"What Eternal Dragon wanted to do before was to use the huge differences between countless branch timelines and the main time line to trigger qualitative changes through quantitative changes, so as to achieve the purpose of modifying the past and future of the main timeline."
"But this is just their wishful thinking. Whether it can be realized... I'm afraid even the Eternal Dragon King can't guarantee it."
"and……"
Sarlayan frowned and glanced at the barrage: "I have a worse guess."
Valeela asked in confusion: "What guess?"
Sarlayan sighed and explained: "If it's just a branch timeline, as long as we find the crux, it won't be easy to get history back on track, but with the historical template as a reference, it won't be that difficult."
"What I'm worried about is... is there a possibility that the time node we are in now is not any branch timeline, but the history that actually happened?"
Valeera: "...Huh?"
It's natural for Valeela to be confused, after all, this is not her area of expertise.
"...Can you speak in Salas?"
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "Let's put it this way, if we are on a branch timeline, since we don't have to worry about historical changes affecting the main time line, we can do whatever we want without any external influence. factors.”
"But if this is real history, in order to avoid triggering serious time and space paradoxes, we need to be cautious in every move we make, and we must not affect the trend of the general trend."
Valeera: "???"
"I still don't understand. Didn't you say that a bronze dragon can't change history?"
"That's right." Sarlayan spread his hands helplessly: "As the old saying goes, those who are good at water will drown."
"It is true that the bronze dragon cannot change history personally, and neither can the eternal dragon, because this is a restriction imposed on them by the Titans, but... we are not bronze dragons, and we do not have such artificial restrictions."
