Sargeras didn't play any tricks. When Kayle came to Aiden's side and received an explanation, he ordered, "Imagine the Eternal Kingdom."
Kayle looked at Aiden and, seeing the commander nod, she closed her eyes and imagined the scene of the Eternal Kingdom.
At the same time, Sargeras began to cast a spell, and then a looming portal appeared in front of them. On the other side of the portal was a floating city so large it was unimaginable. Most of the buildings inside were white, and countless angels flew around the city, with faint hymns emanating from within.
This was the Eternal Kingdom.
After the portal stabilized, Sargeras withdrew his hand and said, "Go, we'll talk again when you return!"
Aiden glanced at Kayle, who had just opened her eyes and revealed a look of surprise. She nodded and said, "It is the Eternal Kingdom."
"Would I make things difficult for you over such a small matter?" Sargeras said unhappily.
"Then we'll talk again when we return!" Aiden didn't say anything else and plunged into the portal.
It was like having a long dream. When Aiden woke up, he was already in a sacred white square.
When the surrounding angels saw the light of the teleportation array light up, they immediately rushed over.
"Queen Kayle!" The angels saw Kayle in golden armor and immediately saluted her. Then, when they saw the man standing with Kayle, they exclaimed, "Creator!"
This man was exactly the same as the legendary Titan statue in the 'High Sanctum' who created the Eternal Kingdom and the angels. When the angels saw him, infinite awe naturally arose in their hearts, an awe that exceeded their awe of Queen Kayle.
Angels are sacred beings who believe in the feelings of the heart. They felt that this man was their creator, so they called him that.
Aiden nodded to them, then said to Kayle, "Let's go to the High Sanctum."
"Yes, Commander."
They flew from the teleportation array to the center of the Eternal Kingdom.
The High Sanctum is actually very easy to recognize, because it is located at the highest point of the Eternal Kingdom itself.
The Eternal Kingdom itself is a city in the clouds, and the High Sanctum floats above the Eternal Kingdom.
Before flying far, Aiden clearly saw the High Sanctum.
He was a little shocked. This sanctuary was not a majestic palace, but more like a group of sculptures—in the center of this floating sculpture group was a giant statue of Aiden himself, carved from pure white stone, emitting a faint, soft light.
The statue of him slightly opened his hands, his left hand holding a codex, his right hand holding a sword, and a white dove ready to fly stood on his shoulder. Behind him, two angels held a pure bottle and a harp respectively, while other angels around him were either sitting or standing, with different expressions and postures.
Closer, one could find that the angel holding the pure bottle slightly bent over, the mouth of the bottle tilted, and holy water flowed out of it, falling into the pool below, eternally, as if the water in the bottle would never be exhausted; the other angel holding the harp placed all ten fingers on the strings, and although it was a sculpture, the harp played beautiful music on its own.
The other angel sculptures around also had their own wonders.
A ray of holy light hung down from the sky, shining on this group of sculptures. After being refracted by the holy water below, the surrounding of the sculptures appeared constantly changing scenes, making it seem as if one was truly in a sanctuary built by holy light.
The closer Aiden got, the more he was amazed.
But he had an even stronger feeling—he felt that there was indeed something in that sculpture attracting him to go!
He had a strong premonition that his background, his isekai, and many other mysteries would be revealed next!
On his way to the High Sanctum, all the angels of the Eternal Kingdom received the message and rushed from all directions to his path. Countless angels cheered and praised on both sides of the road, singing hymns. Aiden felt the angels' worship of the Creator, which gave him great satisfaction and great pressure.
"Everyone thinks I am the Creator," Aiden said in a low voice. "What if I'm not?"
"Even if you are not the Creator, you are the spokesperson of the Creator," Kayle replied.
"But what they worship is the Creator."
"What the angels worship is a spirit—gratitude and love for the creator."
"alright, I can't argue with you." Aiden smiled, feeling much more relaxed.
He was about to know his identity, but he was very unwilling to confirm that he was a 'Titan'. He hoped that he was only the spokesperson of 'Titan' Aiden, chosen by the other party to fulfill some mission, because that could at least prove that he existed.
He was a little anxious, and he mockingly recalled the anger and hesitation when the Moon Goddess Elune asked him for the truth of the world. Wasn't he the same now?
He told Elune that the world, from the creator's perspective, was only twenty years old. The tens of thousands of years of memory Elune possessed actually came from the programmer's compilation.
Now he himself is likely to face the same situation—he is likely to be one of the three highest authority 'Titans' separated from We Rui in the real world, a robot. The so-called memories of being born on Earth are likely to be a compilation of programs.
Originally, he had some sympathy for Elune, but he didn't expect that he and the other party were just about the same, almost in the same boat.
Standing in front of the holy light curtain of the High Sanctum, Aiden was still hesitant.
"Go in, Commander," Kayle said softly.
Aiden sighed, "I'm afraid that after I go in, I won't be me anymore."
"Our will will not be transferred because of the change of identity, will it?"
He didn't hide many things from Kayle, so the other party knew very well what he was troubled by, which is why he asked this question.
"alright, you have a point." Aiden gave a wry smile, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the light curtain as if he were going to the execution ground.
—
Different worlds and times are certainly different.
Aiden and his four companions were teleported to Silithus after the self-destruction of Drakonid. On the same day, G'you was released, and a three-way melee broke out. Then, the next day, the Sun God fell, and Aiden met Sargeras before heading to the Eternal Kingdom through the portal.
In total, it was only two days.
However, in Azeroth, more than half a month had passed since they left.
Half a month was enough for many things to happen.
For example, the situation in Pandaria became increasingly clear. The trolls, who were once invincible in the early days of the Cataclysm, had now lost most of their strength. Even after the trolls and the Mogu clan joined forces, they could not resist the Alliance's conquest, and their lives became more and more difficult.
And the snake goddess Ulath'tek, who was originally regarded as the trolls' greatest reliance, became more and more capricious. Her temper became more and more irritable, and her demands increased day by day, especially for sacrifices—originally, a lot of tribute was needed to worship this god, but after the number of troll believers sharply decreased, Ulath'tek urgently needed a large number of sacrifices.
Originally, the trolls felt that they should have summoned all the gods in the Emerald Dream to help them dominate the world, but now they were struggling to even worship Ulath'tek alone.
Although Ulath'tek was powerful, she could not directly attack mortals. Gradually, the troll leaders became dissatisfied with the goddess's attitude, and some trolls even secretly plotted to force Ulath'tek to deal with their enemies.
Ulath'tek was a true god, not like those weak animal gods worshiped by some troll tribes. Even if these trolls' thoughts were secret, she could still detect them.
The result was predictable—now, those plotters, who knows whether they ended up in the goddess's large intestine or small intestine?
No, that's not right. I heard that snakes only have one rectum. Although Ulath'tek is a goddess, her main body is a giant snake, so her physical characteristics should not change, right?
In any case, Ulath'tek's move to eat these treacherous people did deter the trolls of the Zandalari Empire, but it also brought some side effects.
Originally, only a very small number of defeated and captured trolls surrendered to Vol'jin's Horde troll king Thrall—this frost troll from another world. Later, the number gradually increased, but it did not form a scale.
And this time, after Ulath'tek ate the troll leaders who conspired to enslave her and those who participated in the plot, some trolls, fearing that Ulath'tek would settle accounts later, actually deserted and took the initiative to surrender to Thrall!
Today, half a month later, tens of thousands of troll surrenders have gathered under Thrall's command.
And these surrenders, like the Frost Trolls of Freljord before, regarded Thrall as their king—the Zandalari Empire had not yet elected a king who could convince the public, but the Valoran Federation already had one.
Some of the surrenders had higher status, and even came from the Zandalari tribe themselves. Based on Zul's prophecy that the priests said a few years ago, they claimed that Thrall was the troll's destined master, the king of all trolls in the prophecy!
This was originally flattery, but the staff and commanders of the headquarters were all shrewd people. They immediately used this language to make a big fuss, and had the posture of truly "hyping" Thrall into the troll "co-lord" in the prophecy.
Because Thrall's army originally had the support of the Alliance, they won repeatedly on the battlefield. Even if some troops of the Zandalari Empire were blessed by Ulath'tek, they could not defeat Thrall. For a time, this rumor fermented and actually attracted more and more active surrenders!
The gentlemen of the headquarters were immediately greatly encouraged. Now everyone could see that the Zandalari Empire was probably not long for this world.
After solving the small troubles in Pandaria, Azeroth would likely usher in a period of peace, allowing the people who had suffered since the outbreak of the Scourge six years ago to truly breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the Alliance high-level officials were not very optimistic.
First, Aiden and his companions disappeared and had not returned until now.
The second is that even though Reverse Karazhan had been cleared once, and the remnants of the Burning Legion had been wiped out, Medivh and Med'an, the father and son, were still missing.
Garona and Maraad were almost driven crazy, but they still couldn't find their traces.
People who knew the situation understood that the father and son were probably kidnapped to the Twisting Nether.
No matter what the Burning Legion wanted to use the father and son for, it would probably be the worst possible thing for Azeroth.
At this moment, people were extremely hoping that Aiden and his companions could come back to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.
And Aiden was already unable to take care of these things at this time. As soon as he stepped into the light curtain, he was pulled by an irresistible force and came to the "Titan" Aiden.
"Authentication completed."
"Preparing to exit the program."
"Injecting energy."
"Warp preparation: 3, 2, 1... Start!"
