Live Streaming: Azeroth

Salayan still has some doubts about the "Ansu treatment plan" that was formulated before departure.

He needed to know whether Anzu's curse was mixed with the highly polluting impurity of void.

That's right, impurities.

In the eyes of many people who don't know all kinds of inside information, the power of the void and the power of shadow are the same thing, but they are not.

Among the six major forces of the universe, it is shadow, not void, that contrasts with light.

The so-called power of the void is actually distorted by the Lord of the Void by mixing his own understanding into the power of shadow. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a more widely spread branch of the main shadow project.

The Lord of the Void is an extraterrestrial life form that even Sargeras fears. His body cannot directly enter the material universe. He can only project the seeds of the void into it and hatch them into parasites that pollute the origin of the planet.

That is, the ancient god whose scientific name is the light-dark sensitive parasitic symbiont.

Azeroth is not the only planet parasitized by the Old Gods, the Void Lord has sowed a large number of void seeds into the physical universe.

Therefore, the power of the void brought by the ancient gods has gradually become one of the main manifestations of the concept of shadow in the universe, and its reputation has even overshadowed the power of shadow that is closer to the origin of the concept to a certain extent.

Are there any traces of the Old Gods and the Void in Draenor's history?

Before having an open and honest discussion with Ansu, Sarlayan thought that there was no such thing, and the barrage never provided any solid information.

However, in fact, according to Ansu's confession, Draenor actually has the existence of the ancient gods.

Or rather, there used to be.

Unlike Azeroth, Draenor does not have a world soul.

The early Draenor was indeed parasitized by the ancient gods, but because there was no life essence provided by the soul of the world to catalyze them, the growth of the ancient gods in Draenor was very slow.

When Aggramar descended on Draenor, the Voidseeds, which had not yet officially hatched, were too weak to be discovered by the Avengers.

In other words, the ancient gods that existed in Draenor were very weak. It is said that they were accidentally injured and killed as early as when the destroyer and the original beasts were fighting each other. At that time, Draenor had not yet had any mortal civilization.

However, as we all know, Void creatures are not so easy to die.

The remnants of the ancient gods of Draenor, torn apart by primordial beasts and destroyers, have been secretly planning a resurrection, and it only came close to succeeding.

"That is to say..." Sharlayan frowned and asked the crow god Ansu, "Has Sethe, the demigod of the wind snake, secretly connected with that unknown ancient god?"

Rukhmar is currently busy directing the giant birds of Draenor to help the arakkoa move. Without Rukhmar by his side, Ansu no longer sees the restless cowardly gesture he had before.

Ansu is indeed the one who survived the longest among the three demigods of Draenor. After he calmed down, he appeared calm and wise. When discussing the treatment plan with Sharlayan in private, he also provided him with many things that mortals cannot know. Draenor Hidden Intelligence.

"That's right." Ansu sighed softly: "I, Sethe, and Rukhmar were born successively as Draenor's nature spirits. Although their respective power forms are very different, in the earliest period of time, we The relationship between the three is not bad."

"Until... Sethe, who mastered the power of shadow, inadvertently heard a strange voice."

"Voices from the depths of Draenor."

Ansu continued to explain with deep eyes: "There is no need to talk about the big battle at the beginning. The relevant legends are still circulating in the arakkoa civilization."

"After swallowing Sethe's body, I inherited part of his power. From then on, I realized that the essence of the so-called 'shadow pollution' is the power of the void."

"Um……"

Sharlayan checked Ansu's body with some headaches.

As he himself said, Ansu's curse from the wind snake Setai does contain a small amount of void power.

The Old God of Draenor is not like Azeroth, which has formed a tail that cannot be lost. It is sandwiched between the powerful destroyer and the original beast. The unknown Old God has never lived to truly "break the shell" .

However, the tenacious vitality of the ancient god made its remnant soul linger until the original beast and the destroyer were both defeated. With the birth of the three demigods of Draenor, the era that the ancient god once thought belonged to it was finally coming.

After a long period of seduction and bewitching, this ancient god finally achieved important results.

The wind serpent Sethe, who knew nothing about the ancient gods, came into contact with it out of curiosity, and was inevitably contaminated with the impurity of void.

The ancient gods' control over human nature was terrifying. Bewitched by it, Sethe, who was already jealous of the glamorous Rukhmar, finally decided to attack her.

However, what Sethe didn't expect was that Ansu, who thought he had the same position as him, had always been secretly in love with Rukhmar.

As soon as Sethe heard about his plan to assassinate Rukhmar, Ansu turned around and told Rukhmar himself about the matter.

Under the joint counterattack of Ansu and Rukhmar, Sethe died with hatred as expected. Before he died, he wanted to release the void pollution in his body to curse the world.

After swallowing Sethe's body, Anzu inevitably inherited void pollution.

However, because the power of the void in Sethe's body is very weak, Ansu's symptoms are not obvious, but occasionally he will unconsciously enter a state of distraction, and communicate with an unknown existence in private.

This information was not provided by Ansu himself, but from the Skettis arakone who enshrined the crow demigod.

"It's a little troublesome..."

If the curse suffered by Ansu was purely the power of shadow, Sharlayan was more than 80% sure that Rukhmar could neutralize and purify it.

The existence of the power of the void complicates the situation. Sharlayan must first find a way to help Anzu get rid of this part of the impurities mixed with the curse.

"Ansu, can you still hear that voice of unknown origin?"

"Well..." An Su's face showed distress: "To be honest, if it weren't for my followers to remind me, I wouldn't even realize that I would mutter to myself in a distracted state."

"Or, communicate privately with the remnant soul of the ancient god."

"A remnant soul?"

Sharlayan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "To untie the bell, one must tie it."

"Since your power of the void comes from the ancient god who fell before it was officially born, if we want to remove this impurity, we need to find its exact location first."

"Ansu, it's very important that you carefully read the memories left by Sete."

Setai's body and soul were swallowed by Ansu, and the crow demigod would naturally inherit part of Setai's power and memory.

"Okay." Ansu said with a bitter face: "Seitai's memory is too fragmented. It is not easy to find fragments related to the Old God. Give me 2 months to try first."

"Okay, anyway, there is no rush."

Sharlayan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "If you want to deal with the ancient god, it is best to use the ancient god's own power. I need to go back to Azeroth to rescue the soldiers."

"Just right, during this period of time, you will cooperate with Rukhmar to help the arakkoa move. After they settle down in the Lost Islands, we will discuss the follow-up treatment plan."

...

After the big split that year, the arakkoa were essentially divided into two branch races with the same origin, but with quite different cultures and ideas.

The Arakkoa of Anhar still worship Rukhmar to this day, and most of the power they master is related to the power of light. The Arakkoa of Anhar who have not been polluted can still spread their wings and soar in the sky.

The Skettis arakkoa had already turned to Ansu. Due to the erosion of the power of shadow, they lost their original wings and could only walk on the ground.

Before Rukhmar returned, although Ansu had been secretly taking care of the Skettis arakkoa, he still had to fight against the Sethian resentment attached to the curse, and it was impossible for him to keep an eye on his people all the time.

Now that the two gods have returned one after another, although their homes are dilapidated and their future is unclear, the arakkoa of the two factions feel a vitality that they have never had before in their respective groups, which is the kindling called hope.

In Sharlayan's view, the difference between the Skettis arakkoa and the Anhar arakkoa is not entirely a bad thing.

As long as the conflict between the two factions can be adjusted by the combination of the two patron saints, Rukhmar and Ansu, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted by the cooperation of the two parties is by no means as simple as 1+1=2.

Of course, it's too early to tell.

The most urgent task at the moment is to help the arakkoa complete this big move across the world.

When Sharlayan took the lead to return to Azeroth through the Dark Portal, he accidentally found the little star who was supposed to stay in Unicorn City in the Fortress.

"Stay LS Leian asked in astonishment: "Why are you here? Something happened in the territory? "

"Not domestic."

Stellagosa gave the bad news with a serious expression: "Something happened in Northrend."

"Loken's scouts made a big move without warning. They discovered a large number of Titan artifacts that we have hoarded in Wintergrasp."
