Pandaria has been around for almost two years since the "Great Cataclysm".
Before the Great Cataclysm, the Pandaren, as masters of this land, had enjoyed ten thousand years of peace. However, since the trolls of the Zandalari Empire brought the flames of war here, Pandaria has not had peace in these two years.
The once illustrious Zandalari Empire, after gaining a moment of glory, fell apart under the onslaught of the Alliance. The vast majority of the surviving trolls became subordinates of the "Troll King" Thrall. They no longer had faith or tribal disputes with each other, and achieved true unity from an alternative perspective.
The supreme deity originally worshiped by the trolls, the Serpent Goddess Ulara, also abandoned them in the later stages of the war, and returned to the Emerald Dream in disgrace. This time, she was ambitious to be reborn, but returned like a tiger with a snake's tail. She has almost lost her foundation, her divine power has been reduced by more than half, and she no longer has the power to plot other evil intentions.
Thrall became the "big winner" of this war. His position in the Valoran Federation is now very different from what it used to be. He can sit on an equal footing with the "Lich King" Karthus, who commands the Forsaken, and is naturally very proud.
You must know that when he was in Valoran, he was just the king of a small troll tribe in Freljord—he was able to become king because he had dedicated his loyalty to the Frost Witch—that is, Lissandra—and obtained the ice staff in his hand.
Thrall has a famous line: "I am the troll judge, the troll jury, and the troll executioner!"
It sounds very mighty, but in reality, it is because his tribe has too few people. He, the king, has to Part-time trial, decision-making, and execution. This is obviously not a glorious thing.
In other words, his original status was still below Queen Ashe of the Avarosa tribe, Queen Sejuani of the Winter's Claw tribe, and Lissandra, the true leader of the Frostguard clan. He was even less of a figure in the entire Rune Lands.
After coming to this new world, he turned his luck around—he now has hundreds of thousands of loyal troll people, and is revered as a king, enough to be on par with Karthus, who commands the undead of the Forsaken, and several other kings and leaders of Valoran's traditional forces—such as the King of Demacia, the Supreme Commander of Noxus, and so on.
This adventure can be completely described as soaring to the sky!
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that, just during the time when Aiden left, Karthus, who had severely damaged the multi-colored dragon Chromatus in the ancient courtyard battle and sacrificed himself to create a chance for Aiden and the others to kill him, has been resurrected.
Hecarim found the phylactery he had hidden in the Shadow Isles and completed the resurrection ceremony for him.
Although this resurrection caused his Soul Stealer's Scroll to lose some of its power, he is still one of the most powerful heroes in the Valoran Federation.

After the collapse of the Zandalari Empire, the Mogu clan, who attempted to restore their power, did not last long. Two months ago, with the death of the "Thunder King" again, the last afterglow of the Mogu clan also disappeared. The guardian Ra-den, who was hiding behind the scenes, was taken back by other guardians without even appearing.
The sky* *good peaceful Pandaren originally thought that they would return to a peaceful and beautiful life, but they did not expect that with N'Zoth's renewed attack and the arrival of the Void Legion, the flames of war that had not been extinguished would reignite in Pandaria once again, and even more fiercely than the last time!
The Naga Legion landed in the Dread Wastes in western Pandaria. That is the territory of the Mantid. The Pandaren built a magnificent Great Wall in the Dread Wastes and on the eastern side of the Krasarang Wilds to resist the Mantid's crazy attacks on them. This Great Wall has guarded the Pandaren for thousands of years, but this time, it was lost.
Queen Azshara summoned terrifying waves that submerged the hundred-meter-high city walls, and the Naga Legion swam over from the Ruins of the Wall. The garrison of the Ruins of the Wall was simply unable to resist such a powerful and despairing offensive. The city wall was breached, and then countless Mantid and Faceless Ones stepped onto the land of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
Its fall was so fast that the Alliance had no time to react.
Three days later, Queen Azshara defeated the last four celestial guardians of Pandaria who were guarding here—Yu'lon, Xuen, Chi-Ji, and Niuzao—and successfully seized the sealed Heart of Y'shaarj.
Next, as long as she immerses it in the Golden Lotus Lake in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, she will not only be able to pollute the vibrant spring water, but also resurrect Y'shaarj, the powerful Old God!
Taran Zhu, the leader of the Shado-Pan and a powerful Pandaren monk, tried to stop her, but was easily defeated by Queen Azshara, and his body fell into the river, his life or death unknown.
N'Zoth, at the bottom of the deep sea, has been watching these.
It sent its servants to attack both Mount Hyjal and Pandaria at the same time. Among them, Mount Hyjal invested the most troops, and it was undoubtedly the main battlefield, but the first step it really needed to achieve was to resurrect Y'shaarj—once this was achieved, Y'shaarj would be able to release himself. At that time, the entire Azeroth will be shrouded in blood and rain! It will let these ignorant and fearless mortals see the true power of the most powerful Old God!
Queen Azshara did not disappoint it. N'Zoth felt extremely happy in his heart—the reason why it launched so resolutely was that Aiden was not in Azeroth was a very important reason. Now it seems that its decision was absolutely correct. Without Aiden, this alliance is simply vulnerable!
"Go, resurrect Y'shaarj, and recreate the glory of our ancient times! Go, Azshara!" N'Zoth made a low, bewitching voice.
Queen Azshara ordered her guards to push a huge box towards the Golden Lotus Lake.
"It's almost done, it's almost done!" N'Zoth felt that every part of his body was so comfortable. It feels better than ever.
"Huh?" It suddenly felt a trace of abnormality, but it was not a bad change, but a good one—it found that the Titan prison's imprisonment on it seemed to be weakening!
Is it an illusion?
N'Zoth was a little suspicious that it was his mental suggestion, but it carefully checked and found that the seal was indeed weakening, and it was constantly weakening!
At this rate, it won't be long before it can break through the seal without anyone's help!
N'Zoth suddenly thought—could it be that something happened to the Pantheon?
It immediately realized that this was a godsend.
If such a thing happened to all the sealed Old Gods, then this would be an extremely clear signal—that the real End Time has come!
The era belonging to their Old Gods has arrived!
N'Zoth's perception is very keen. In fact, this is not its illusion. At this moment, in every corner of the universe, all Titan seals are weakening, and even the Titan's planetary defense system is gradually collapsing. The Pantheon's information processing center received countless red alerts for a while, and the observers sent out to investigate the situation brought back one shocking news after another…
Pantheon… What's wrong?
"Aman'Thul, you must know, what's going on?" Eonar couldn't help questioning her husband, Aman'Thul, who also held the highest authority.
At this time, this "Father of the Gods" was also a little lost. He glanced at Eonar and said a name in a low voice: "Sargeras!"
"Is it him? Can he do such a thing?" Eonar was uncertain.
She knew that Sargeras and Aman'Thul, the brothers, had the highest authority and could check and balance each other. But the current situation is obviously not a check and balance, but a complete suppression of the Pantheon, or rather, Aman'Thul!
If it weren't for this, the Titan's seal would not loosen, and the planetary defense system would not fail.
But, how is this possible?
"This matter…" Aman'Thul didn't look at Eonar again, "You don't understand."
He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he stiffly made such an answer.
Eonar showed a mocking expression: "Because I don't have enough authority, right?"
She didn't wait for Aman'Thul's direct answer, which meant that the other party was acquiescing.
Eonar turned around and strode away: "I'm going to find Golganneth. You brothers' business, you can solve it yourself!"
After Eonar left, Aman'Thul sighed. He looked at the other end of the void and said to himself: "Sargeras, this is the price of disrupting the rules… After the chess piece jumps out of the chessboard, it loses its value… Both of us are chess pieces…"
These words were irrelevant. I am afraid that only the other two people with the highest authority in the entire universe can understand.
The mirror channel created by Sargeras is recognized by the system as something like a "plug-in" and "virus". It needs to return the "NPCs" that originally belonged to this world to their original positions, so it forcibly started the confrontation between the Pantheon and the Burning Legion, making it completely impossible for Sargeras to gather the joint recognition of the three Titans with the highest authority.
Dimensius is also a chess piece that intensifies the conflict between the two.
However, the system cannot directly erase the "plug-in" created by Sargeras with his soul. And this plug-in, with the passage of time, is gradually showing its power in the confrontation with the system—it is constantly destroying the original settings of the system, making everything that was originally taken for granted a mess.
When order and settings are broken, imprisonment will of course become ineffective.
This was originally Sargeras' means of forcibly leaving "World of Warcraft", but its impact is far more than that. Now everything is messed up. As the confrontation between the two becomes more intense, the system's "settings" may be completely destroyed. In that case, Sargeras will certainly be able to leave this world, and so can other things in this world.
No one can accurately predict what specific impact the confrontation between the World of Warcraft system and the simplified Titan platform system will have on this world.
From the current point of view, it is obviously too beneficial to the Old Gods.
—In fact, it is also a little beneficial to Aiden.
After Dimensius left Silithus, Aiden returned to the Eternal Kingdom through the teleportation array. He tried to teleport to the War Academy there, but he did not succeed. Obviously, the Valoran system is also restricted by Azeroth and cannot bypass Dimensius' blockade of the world.
Just as he was preparing to find another way, such as entering from the Twisting Nether, he suddenly felt that the teleportation restriction of Azeroth had loosened a bit.
