Spacetime of Tarkir.
As the planeswalker "Madman" Sarkhan traveled back thousands of years and sacrificed himself to save the last chance of survival for the defeated spiritual dragon Ugin, the dragon that had completely perished and disappeared in this world reappeared and soared in the sky.p>
Because the dragons of Tarkir did not lay eggs through sexual or asexual reproduction like other time and space, and then hatched from the eggs and grew up to become the overlord of the sky.
Quite the opposite!
They were all born from the powerful storm of magical elements released and sustained by Ugin.
Although these dragons appear to be flesh and blood on the surface and can even be killed by powerful dragon slayers, in essence they are out-and-out elemental beings, just like the elements of fire, water, wind, and earth.p>
As for the soul, it was created out of thin air by Wu Jin through his unique non-attribute magic.
Yes!
You read that right!
This ancient dragon planeswalker, who is a direct descendant of the Prime Dragon along with Nicol Bolas, can achieve what even gods cannot do, and can continuously create a large number of perfect souls without defects.
In fact, most of the apostles and divine servants created by the gods in Toril's universe are reincarnated from the souls of believers, that is, "petitioners".
It is not created out of thin air by the great gods as mortals preach.
If the gods really have such ability, they no longer need the faith of mortals. Wouldn't it be better to directly create a race that serves them wholeheartedly?
In the same way, demons and demons no longer need to send so many people into the material world to lure mortals into corruption and allow mortal souls to enter the lower planes. They can directly cooperate with the gods of the evil camp and let them create for themselves.p>
From this alone, you can see how powerful the spiritual dragon Wujin is.
It is even said that even the world of Tarkir was created by him, and he is a true creator.
Unfortunately, even with the home field advantage, Ugin still lost to his brother Nicol Bolas a thousand years ago.
At the moment, this elder dragon (the collective name for all direct descendants of the Dragon of the Beginning), which is as huge as a mountain, is lying in its lair, continuously absorbing energy from other time and space and slowly regaining its strength.
As an ancient creature that likes to make decisions before taking action, he is not like those short-lived humans or other mortal races who rush to start a revenge battle as soon as they are resurrected.
Quite the opposite!
At this moment, Ugin is repeatedly analyzing why he lost the war with Nicol Bolas, what the other party was planning during this thousand-year period, and what new powers, allies and artifacts he obtained.
.
Especially when he learned that Nicol Bolas was secretly manipulating the planeswalkers of the new era to break the seal of Zendikar's time and space, and wanted to release the Eldrazi Titans with destructive power to cause chaos, he immediately
Realizing that his brother is definitely planning an earth-shattering conspiracy.
Because with Nicol Bolas's sinister and cunning character, he would never do meaningless destruction just for the sake of a whim.
Unfortunately, the information currently available is too little and too messy to confirm its true intention.
Just when Ugin was hesitant to use some special means, Sorin Markov suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air and asked in his usual lazy voice: "How is it? Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, after these days of recuperation, I have almost recovered. Thanks to your life creation magic this time, otherwise I don't know how many years of recuperation I would have to wake up."
Wujin slowly opened his eyes and expressed his gratitude to this vampire ally.
Since they have known and cooperated for thousands of years, he knows and trusts Solin very well.
When we first decided to seal the Eldrazi, we took advantage of the opponent's weakness in being overly concerned about the security of their homeworld of Innistrad.
Of course, he also used Nahiri, the boulder warlock who had a strong sense of justice at the time.
It can be said that these two ancient planeswalkers were once manipulated by Ugin's unfathomable wisdom, and provided him with all the necessary help in studying the Eldrazi, a creature from the dark void.
Because he has lived for too long, Wu Jin no longer has the concepts of good and evil, order and chaos that most people think of, and he also does not care about trivial things such as killing, death and destruction.
In his eyes, the entire universe is a contradiction, opposition, but harmonious and unified whole, just like the cells in a biological body are dying every moment, but new cells are constantly being generated.
Those worlds swallowed and destroyed by the Eldrazi are like necrotic cells. Although they deserve mercy, they are part of some natural cycle of the universe.
If the Eldrazi are killed rashly, it will inevitably cause extremely terrible and serious consequences.
This kind of consequence is just like the time and space rift caused by the first planeswalker battle. Maybe there is no problem at all at first.
But as time passed and other planeswalkers unleashed their power unbridled, it became more and more serious, eventually leading to the formation of the most terrifying time vortex in history.
During those strange and terrifying years, time, a rule that is extremely important to the entire universe, began to collapse around the time and space of Dominaria, and the past, present and future of the entire world were intertwined.<
/p>
Sometimes a person even has to endure living with his past and future selves, and sometimes multiple timelines are intertwined to form some terrible time paradoxes and indescribable chaos.
In the most serious cases, even suicide becomes a luxury.
Maybe you just died one second ago, and you will go back in time and be resurrected the next second.
What’s even more frightening is that the collapse of this time rule continues to spread outward, affecting the time and space of Kamigawa and Ravnica, until it spreads to the entire universe and pushes it into the abyss of destruction.
In order to prevent this disaster caused by themselves, the ancient planeswalkers stepped forward one after another, either sacrificing their sparks or their lives, and finally spent a long time to repair the cracks.
But the price is that the connection between the planeswalker's sparky nature and the dark void has undergone a permanent qualitative change.
They lost their eternal life and the power to open up space and create the material world like gods. At the same time, they also caused unknown distortions in the time and space transmission method of the universe they were in, so that the space teleportation and magic created during ancient civilizations
All technologies fail.
Because of such a profound and painful lesson, Ugin repeatedly emphasized that the Eldrazi must not be killed simply and roughly.
Instead, they need to seal it first and observe how the universe will change in the next few thousand or even tens of thousands of years after they stop their activities.
If the consequences are serious, then the sealed Eldrazi must be released and allowed to perform their duties.
To a certain extent, Ugin's way of thinking is actually very similar to Solin's, both of them are implementing a "balance" theory that they think is correct.
The only difference is that Sorin only cares about the balance of his hometown Innistrad, while Ugin has a higher vision and sees further. What he cares about is the balance of the entire universe.
"Don't you have any clues about Nicol Bolas's conspiracy?" Sorin asked, standing in front of the huge dragon head.
Wujin replied without thinking: "No. In fact, I don't even understand why he suddenly came to Tarkir thousands of years ago and wanted to kill me.
But what is certain is that Nicol Bolas has always had only one wish, which is to regain the powerful power he possessed in ancient times.
In a few days, I will go to Dominaria to look for clues.
That's where the First Dragon descended, where the War of the Elder Dragons began and ended, and where Nicol Bolas and I ignited the spark to become the first planeswalkers.
Including the Numena mages who later defeated the ancient dragons to establish a powerful human magical civilization, and the Solan Empire, which re-emerged from the ruins after the Numena mages died due to internal fighting. They all once mastered some things that even me marveled at.
Magic.
Among them, Karona, who is called the mother of magic, was not able to fully understand and release all the power she possessed until she was finally destroyed by the Numena mages who exhausted all their magical power and life.
So I think Nicol Bolas must have found some unknown ancient magic in Dominaria."
"That's it."
Sorin nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Do you need me to accompany you? If Nico Bolas knew that you were resurrected, he would definitely find a way to kill you again. After all, in this world
The only person in the universe that he can regard as a real threat is you."
Wu Jin stood up and shook his head slightly: "No, there is no need.
Unless I fight to the death, it will not be easy for Nicol Bolas to kill me.
And this time I am just going to investigate, I will try my best not to expose my whereabouts and identity.
On the other hand, what about the new apprentice you just accepted?
Has he learned how to control and seal the Eldrazi Titans?"
"Of course!
Soth is the smartest human being I have ever met in my life.
Except for some resistance to learning swordsmanship and fighting skills, learning any other magical knowledge will not take more than a few days.
He is a natural planeswalker and a talented spellcaster, and he seems to have mastered some spellcasting methods that I have never seen before."
When he mentioned his new apprentice, Solin immediately showed a playful expression on his face.
Because he could feel that Nahiri, the "silly young girl" Zuo Sigan had back then, was completely different.
Whether it is his deep-thinking character or his calm and rational style, he does not look like an impulsive and emotional young man, with many secrets hidden in him.
But fortunately, the vampire planeswalker didn't care, but found it a very interesting experience.
