Chapter 504 505 [Tanalis, Time Puzzle]
The sun is blazing in the sky and there are no clouds in the sky.
The harsh sun scorches the desert.
This is a vast sea of sand, and the edge can't be seen at a glance. In the steaming heat wave, the scenery is distorted, and the three or two oases dotted at the end of the field of vision turn into a blur of green.
Occasionally, a breeze blows, and dust rises from the top of the sand hills, surging layer by layer like waves of sand, peeling off layer after layer.
Angmar walked toward the southeast.
This sand sea is located in the southwest of the ancient continent of Kalimdor, bordering Un'Goro Crater to the west, which was cited as a secondary ecological experimental site by the guardians, and the Uldum region guarded by the Tol'vir clan to the south.
History has never accurately recorded the origin of this desert.
Maybe it was once a lush green field with fertile water and soil, or maybe it has always been like this since the time of the Order.
However, Angmar prefers the former. It was external forces that changed the ecological environment of this place and made it what it is today.
Thousands of years ago, in order to resist the Thor who attempted to invade the Forge of Origin, the Tolvir clan had to activate part of the functions of this ancient creation device, resulting in an astonishing explosion of energy.
The destructive energy that swept across the earth purified all life around it. Even though the God of Thunder had unparalleled power, he could not escape the purifying power of the Origin Furnace and died on the spot.
Since then, Uldum has become a barren desert. Perhaps the sea of sand beneath our feet was also affected by that incident.
In later generations, it will be known as "Tanaris". Greedy goblins will establish a settlement here to ensure control of the South China Sea.
The Sandfury clan, a branch of the Gurubashi trolls, will also hide in their capital Zul'Farrak, which has become increasingly desolate due to the war with the ancient night elf empire.
Angmar wants to change ancient history and create a favorable situation for the ultimate war in future generations. Although it has already made a decision, it will continue to repair the variables it has caused in the next ten thousand years to ensure that history evolves steadily towards the world environment in which it was born.
, but even with the help of the Eye of Aman'Thul, which can view the countless possibilities of the timeline, this matter is extremely difficult.
After all, there are too many time points. With Angmar's own strength, he will inevitably face the dilemma of being overwhelmed and unable to cope with the situation. He needs backup.
So he came to Tanaris, the home of the bronze dragons.
If you can convince these bronze dragons to unite under the command of Time Guardian Nozdormu and observe and guard the stable operation of the timeline, your plan will have more guarantees.
But Angmar was very uneasy.
The fundamental reason is that he doesn't know what kind of attitude the Bronze Dragon clan will show towards himself who is about to change the course of history in this timeline that has been reset to its original appearance by his future self.
The direct reason is that he doesn't know whether the current Bronze Dragon King, Time Guardian Nozdormu, is trapped in the turbulence of time.
If Nozdormu was not here, he would probably not be able to convince ordinary bronze dragon members who did not have a good understanding of the timeline.
So……
What was the original history like?
This is a mystery.
no one knows.
Just because of the creator's "eating books" and "self-slapping".
Due to his own experience, he already knew that this concrete world has not fallen into self-contradiction due to the "creator" repeatedly slapping himself in the face and eating books.
But this resulted in Angmar losing the advantage of being a time traveler once he reached certain ambiguous historical nodes. He didn't know what kind of logical details the world would present.
For example, we are currently facing the mystery of whether Nozdormu is trapped.
Regarding the reason why Nozdormu was trapped, it involves three editions of settings.
In the first version of the setting, the Old God was far stronger than Sargeras, and even had enough power to interfere with the normal operation of the timeline.
Under the premise that ancient history has become an established fact, they disturbed the timeline, trying to make Sargeras arrive in advance, and use the power of the fallen titan to weaken their own cage in order to regain their freedom.
Nozdormu became aware of the Ancient God's conspiracy and went to investigate. However, he was severely injured by the tentacles of the Ancient God rising from the Well of Eternity. As a last resort, he sent the "Three Travelers" back to the ancient times.
to correct historical disturbances.
The second edition setting accurately determines the strength of the Old Gods and Sargeras. To put it simply, the Old Gods changed from an "ancient threat" to a force sent by the void to corrupt Azeroth.
The "light and dark sensitive parasitic community" of Titan's star soul is far weaker than that of Titan...
The story about Sargeras and the Titans has also begun to become more complete. Sargeras has also changed from a demon lord to a fallen Titan who is determined to destroy the Infinite in advance to cut off the possibility of corruption in the void.
Once this version of the setting was implemented, the history of the trio of time-travelers participating in the ancient war became full of contradictions.
How could the Old Gods let Sargeras descend smoothly if they couldn't hide in time? Because this fallen titan would destroy the entire Azeroth effortlessly, wiping them out together like a bug.
.
Therefore, this period of history was eaten by the mysterious "creator" himself.
If you eat it, you will eat it. This is not a big deal. At most, it will only cause some complaints from those who seek knowledge.
But with the emergence of the third edition setting, the "creator" slapped himself hard once again.
During the Cataclysm, the Bronze Dragon once again sought help from "adventurers". He sent some of them back to the ancient times and asked them to help him repair the tampered timeline.
At certain points in time, players actually saw the trio of time travellers!
Hasn’t this period of history been abolished!?
After the settings are perfect, the ancient gods have no motive to let the Burning Legion come early, let alone disturb the timeline. Nozdormu will naturally not be trapped, let alone send the three time travellers.
Go back to ancient times to repair the time disturbance that did not exist!
Although all kinds of evidence have shown that it is the content of official history, the "adventurers" who have long been accustomed to it still come up with reasonable explanations on their own.
——Due to the gameplay, the Bronze Dragon sent us to another timeline, which has nothing to do with official history...
As a result, when the time came for Legion to return, everyone was dumbfounded.
In revealing the ancient illusions and legends, the "adventurers" once again saw the trio of time-travelers. This time it had nothing to do with the bronze dragon, it was truly official history...
What on earth is this going to do?
Is it so satisfying to slap yourself in the face?
When he returned to ancient times for the first time, Angmar had no such worries. He knew that "he" had participated in ancient history, and he also knew that his future self would eventually become an omnipotent "prophet" who could freely travel through various timelines.
”.
Regardless of whether Nozdormu is trapped in the turbulence of time, as an observer of time, the Bronze Dragon must be aware of the existence of the "Prophet". There will not be many problems in contacting them.
As the future self completely resets this period of history and turns it into an official history without his participation, the mystery of the "creator" who has been reading books and constantly slapping himself in the face has become the biggest problem before him.
