At this time, Uldaman was far less dilapidated than in later generations. Walking inside the magnificent building, there were earth spirits and mechanical gnomes on both sides of the road who were doing various maintenance, and they all cast curious glances at Angmar.

There was confusion and uneasiness in those eyes.

The terrible news brought by Angmar has completely spread. For these titan creations who once enjoyed eternal life, although they only spent 10,000 years of closed life in Uldaman, this period of time is compared to the past.

The long years seem not worth mentioning, but the changes that have been experienced before - the death of the Creator, the collapse of the Guardian system, Loken's betrayal, Tyr's death, the return of the ancient gods, and the curse of flesh and blood - have made this

Just ten thousand planetary cycles are enough to change many things.

When the curse of flesh and blood caused them to continuously decline towards the mortal body, become weak, become threatened by diseases, and would die if they did not eat, an extremely inefficient way of absorbing energy, they began to become confused.

Is the sacred mission that all creations once shared really still meaningful? Their worldview experienced a great impact during this period. From the past, they were born for the welfare of Azeroth, and they began to consider their own future more.

But no one knows what the future will bring. They have gradually become accustomed to a closed life. In fear, they mechanically protect Uldaman day after day, trying to hide themselves and isolate themselves from the outside world to avoid being hunted by Loken...

…

Without creation, it would be impossible to shape the mountains and change the landscape as we once did...

Rather than saying that they still obeyed Azadas and Elonaya's orders loyally, it is better to say that they just don't know what to do.

After hearing that High-Level Guardian Lai has returned successfully, the forces of the Ancient Gods have once again extended their claws to Azeroth. It's not that they don't want to follow Azadas, who is bound to answer the call, to take revenge and uphold justice, it's just because...

…When their former forms no longer exist, will they still have the capital to fulfill their sacred mission?

…

"Master Prophet, is the outside world really... turned upside down?" This leader of the earth spirit warriors who seemed to be responsible for the peripheral defense issues of Uldaman led Angmar through the intricate corridors of Uldaman for a long time.

In a place with few people, I finally asked with some uncertainty.

But he immediately added: "I have no intention of doubting it. I hope you can understand that we have been self-isolated for ten thousand years and have become somewhat... out of touch with the outside world."

The tone of the earth spirit warrior was much more pious than when he was asking questions outside. It seemed that when he reported back to Azadas, he used some kind of Uldaman internal magic to detect Angmar and confirmed that he had

The power of order and the "token" given by high-level guardian Lai confirmed his identity and that he had received Azadas's instructions. In short, Angmar was no longer regarded as an uninvited guest who broke in rashly.

"What's your name?" Angmar suddenly became curious about this earth spirit.

"I don't have a name, only a number," the Earth Spirit warrior shook his head. Perhaps because he lowered his guard, he spoke more, "But I gave myself a new name according to the new customs of my compatriots. My name is Gao Shan.

', because during the Sequencing Period, I was one of the hundreds of thousands of earth spirits under Lord Azadas who were responsible for shaping Mount Hyjal, the roof of the world."

"Gaoshan? What a good name."

Angmar was astonished at the number of earthlings.

At the beginning of the Sequential Period, the world was still devastated due to the victory over the Dark Empire and the imprisonment of the Old Gods. Not only was there the residual influence of the Shadow Corruption, but it was also devastated by war. Clear away the corruption and transform Azeroth into the paradise it is today.

It was an extremely large-scale project. During this period, countless creations were created, digging deep seas and shaping mountains.

And just in the Mount Hyjal project, there are so many earth spirits involved. I really don’t know how many earth spirits exist in other parts of the world. I’m afraid millions are too few, right?

But why are dwarves so rare in later generations?

Although the lifespan is long (hundreds of years); the ability to reproduce is relatively weak; the earth spirits that have degenerated into dwarves are only a few of the earth spirits in Uldaman... These are the main reasons, but aside from the number of dwarves,

Among all the known Titan ruins, the number of earth spirits still sleeping is probably far less than one ten thousandth of what it was in its heyday.

After a second thought, Angmar came to his senses.

So are the flesh and blood Vrykul and the Mechanical Gnomes? After the Sequencing Period, their number must have reached hundreds of millions. Following Tyr, Azadas and the giantess Elonaya

But only a small part of them went south. Humans, gnomes and dwarves, the three mortal races that flourished in the Eastern Kingdom, were all descended from the degradation of this small part of creation.

Most of the remaining creations probably died in the war caused by Loken's betrayal. History's records of that war are not very clear, only a few strokes, but the number of creations dropped sharply after this battle.

We can also infer from the situation that it must have been a very tragic war.

Yogg-Saron broke through the prison and Loken's betrayal spread the corruption throughout Ulduar, seriously threatening the safety of the Forge of Will and Azeroth... Countless creations came from all over the world to attack Ulduar one after another.

Try to resolve this crisis.

These creatures use courage and sacrifice to interpret their loyalty to the supreme sacred mission, but the final outcome is known to everyone.

Ulduar still fell.

Angmar suddenly felt quite emotional.

Perhaps in later generations, under the snow on the Storm Cliffs, there are layers of corpses of creations buried, including earth spirits, tol'vir, vrykul, frost giants, and mechanical gnomes... In the long years, they

The body re-enters the natural cycle of Azeroth, becomes the soil for vegetation to grow, and becomes the magical breath brought by the breeze. It just changes its way, continues to extend its life, and continues to practice in the most inconspicuous way.

A mission given by Titan.

"The mountains are real. In the past ten thousand years, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Intelligent humanoid creatures have flourished and become the mainstream of Azeroth." Angmar said.

"Then..." Gao Shan frowned - his eyebrows were very strange. The left eyebrow arch was infected by the curse of flesh and blood and turned into flesh, and the eyebrows grew out of the hair follicles. The eyebrow arch was still bare rock skin -

—Asked again, "Are there any other creatures alive? I mean the mogu or the tol'vir."

"As far as I know, very few." Angmar answered.

Gao Shan fell into silence and did not ask again for a long time. The two continued to move forward. When they came to a slightly narrow hall, a fishy smell hit their faces, which made Angmar feel strange.

He looked around and found that this place turned out to be a corral, housing chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other livestock. Some of the bodies were slightly slender, with slightly bulging breasts. Under the influence of the curse of flesh and blood, they never evolved without gender - or, in other words, degenerated.

——The earth spirits and mechanical gnomes who have transcended gender differences and become women are picking up eggs or milking cows inside.

"Hundreds of years ago, the degree of degradation was so severe that we had to rely on eating as our main source of energy intake. We organized an expedition to the surrounding areas to collect crop seeds and bring back functional animal cubs.

To meet the food needs of our compatriots. There are many such stables, there is also a mushroom farm deep in Uldaman, and three wheat fields that use artificial light sources to meet the lighting needs." Gao Shan explained in time.

This was unexpected and reasonable... Angmar nodded. But as he walked, he saw a prison at the end of the corral. Behind the high iron bars, there were actually more than a dozen people imprisoned.

A trogg.

Sensing his surprise, Gao Shan explained again, but this time his tone sounded a little sad, "That is... our relatives in a certain sense. The earth spirit was originally here, and was killed by Azadas."

Created by Lord Azadas. However, the initial creation inevitably produced deviant individuals, which led to the birth of those troggs. Lord Azadas could not bear to destroy them, and has been imprisoning them in Uldaman for countless thousands of years.

In a certain area, we used to despise the troggs and were not even willing to admit the connection between this failed creation and us, but..."

Gao Shan sighed, smiled mockingly, and pointed at the mottled flesh and blood on his body.

"Ever since we arrived here more than 10,000 years ago and infected the troggs with the curse of flesh and blood, we have discovered that... they are far more adaptable to the degeneration after infection than we are. Now we are destined to fall into the mortal world, and we have

What’s the difference between them?”

Angmar also let out a sigh of relief after hearing this.

For the Titan creations that once had perfect bodies, the curse of flesh and blood... was indeed tantamount to catastrophe. Everything about them had undergone drastic changes because of this... He suddenly felt that perhaps the descendants of the Titan creations such as humans, dwarves, and gnomes in later generations

Forgetting the past history is actually not a bad thing. At least they don't have to endure the extremely painful struggle and self-doubt like their ancestors did, and can face the new world with a new look after the guardian system collapses and the Titan creation comes to an end.

After leaving the corral, the two took several lifting platforms maintained by magic and went about a kilometer underground. After walking for a long time, they finally stopped in front of a simple stone door that was nearly 100 meters high and extremely thick.

Gao Shan stretched out one hand towards the door and said: "Sir Prophet, this is the resting place of Guardian Azadas. I hope that in the battle in a few days, I will be lucky enough to fight side by side with you."

After that, he bowed deeply, turned around and left.

At the same time, a hoarse voice with extremely weak breath also came from the stone door: "Come in, a mortal with the power of order... I feel... my brother's breath in you."
