Chapter 753-Awakening
"Elodus? These demons are actually led by you?" Yun looked at Elodus suspiciously, as if he was very surprised by this fact. However, he did not dwell on this issue too much, but quickly shifted the topic to another key question: "So, why did these demons attack them?"
Elodus was somewhat surprised by Yun's question. He replied doubtfully, "Sir, this is the task you assigned to us!"
After hearing Elodus's answer, everyone else had strange expressions on their faces. They were originally still marveling at the powerful strength of these demons and the superb tactics they displayed in the battle. These demons were not only individually powerful, but also knew how to use clever formations. They could also seize the fleeting opportunities on the battlefield at critical moments, quickly advance and resolve the battle. Everyone couldn't help but sigh at the power of this group of demons.
However, in the blink of an eye, these terrifying demons turned out to be Yun's subordinates, which shocked everyone at Yun's planning ability. They began to re-examine Yun, secretly wondering how big a plan he had set up here.
Facing everyone's gaze, Yun felt a little embarrassed. He realized that his question might have caused some misunderstanding. So he quickly explained: "Oh, those... well, you guys are really doing very well. But what I want to know is, why did you choose to attack them?"
"Originally, the number of Burning Legion on the planet decreased sharply, which gave us an absolute advantage. However, just as we were preparing to pursue the victory, an unimaginably powerful force suddenly pulled us to this place." Elodus' voice revealed a hint of anxiety, and he continued, "We had no time to figure out what was going on, and we didn't even have a chance to react. At that moment, the entire planet seemed to be activated and began to frantically absorb the energy of all living things!"
He paused for a moment, as if recalling the scene at that time, and then continued: "Since both we and the Burning Legion use fel energy, the impact was relatively small. But those tribesmen who didn't have time to leave, their power was lost in a large amount in an instant, which surprised us very much."
Yun listened to Elodus's story, and his curiosity grew stronger. He couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Huh? The planet began to absorb energy? How did you know that? Could it be that there was something else absorbing the energy in secret?"
"Are you sure? Is it really the planet that is absorbing energy?" Yuntian asked doubtfully.
"Absolutely true!" Elodus nodded affirmatively. "After some observation and research, we have confirmed that this is a sign that the Star Soul is about to awaken. However, we really can't figure out why the Star Soul would awaken suddenly, and at this time."
There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in his tone.
"What's even more puzzling is that the Holy Light Army actually launched a large-scale attack here at this critical juncture." Elodus continued, "They are not only suppressed by the Star Soul here, but also besieged by us. They are obviously at a great disadvantage. However, they still come here in such a continuous stream to die. Why is that?"
At this point, Elodus frowned, seeming to be very puzzled by the behavior of the Holy Light Legion.
"Finally, we finally discovered their true purpose." Elodus' voice was a little deeper. "It turns out that they want to integrate their energy into the planet to accelerate the awakening of the star soul."
When Yuntian heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. Although he had not personally experienced the awakening of the Star Soul, he had heard of related legends. It was said that once the Star Soul awakened, all life on the planet would face a catastrophe.
"The Star Soul is about to awaken? You are doing this..." There was a hint of shock in Yuntian's words.
"Well, of course we don't want the Star Soul to awaken." Elodus explained quickly, "So, we have been constantly attacking all the tribesmen and the Holy Light Army here. The goal is to drive them all out as soon as possible. We must not let the Star Soul succeed."
"Is the awakening of the Star Soul the birth of the Titan? In other words, they are preventing the birth of a Titan?" Medivh suddenly interrupted.
Yun was silent for a moment, then nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, Titans are born from the awakening of Star Souls. Therefore, preventing Star Souls from awakening is actually preventing the birth of Titans."
Medivh seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back. However, his expression revealed his inner doubts and uneasiness.
At this time, Sindialai on the side gently pulled the corner of Medivh's clothes, signaling him not to continue asking questions.
Seeing this, Yun continued to explain: "Our main purpose in preventing the awakening of the Star Soul is not just to prevent the birth of Titan and thus control the situation between the two parties. More importantly, we are saving lives. Although I am not completely sure, the information I have obtained from multiple channels shows that once the Titan awakens, all creatures on this planet will face a terrible disaster - their energy will be completely drained and they will die."
Yun's voice became increasingly cold and chilling, "This means that no matter whether it is animals, plants, or any matter containing energy, nothing will be spared. The entire planet will become dead silent, and no life will be able to survive."
After hearing this, Medivh showed a look of astonishment on his face. He was obviously shocked by the news. "Ah? How could this happen?"
"Why not?" Yun's voice echoed in the air, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness. He looked at Medivh, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "The Titans are high above, they only care about whether there is a new Titan awakening. If the life of a planet can be exchanged for the awakening of a Titan, do you think they will care about our lives?"
Medivh was silent, his brows furrowed tightly, as if trying to understand Yun's words. After a while, he slowly said: "But, we are all living beings."
Yun sneered, his tone becoming sharper: "Life? You see a stone on the ground that contains energy. If you get this stone, you will be much stronger. When you take out the stone, will you take a good look at the ants around it? Will you care about the ant hole next to the stone and give up taking the stone?"
Medivh's face turned pale. He wanted to retort, but his lips moved but no sound came out.
Seeing this, Yun continued, "What's the difference? In their eyes, we are no different from those ants. We are all insignificant. All we can do is to use up this energy stone so that you won't miss this place anymore."
"Then we..." Medivh was stunned, his heart was filled with disbelief and disappointment. He had always admired and yearned for the Titans, but everything he heard at this moment shocked him.
Yun took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. His voice was firm and decisive: "We can't trust anyone easily. We can only believe the facts we see with our own eyes. I will do everything I can to prevent this star soul from awakening."
Elodus suddenly interrupted, "Lord Yun, have you ever seen the future here in the time flow?" He stared at Yun, as if expecting some answer.
Yun hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I...why are you asking this? What is presented in the time stream is only a possibility, not an absolute fact."
Elodus's expression turned a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "So that means this place will eventually awaken."
Yun quickly explained: "Don't give up hope so quickly, it's just a possibility. I have created many changes in the time nodes, and these changes are all possible. We don't have to be bound by other people's opinions."
Elodus shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't give up. I know that the awakening of the Star Soul will not absorb the evil energy. Even if the Star Soul really awakens, we will not necessarily die. It's just that I feel sorry for those compatriots. They don't deserve such a fate."
"Does Sargeras know about this?" Yun continued to ask, seeming to be very concerned about this issue.
Elodus shook his head and said helplessly: "We have tried to contact Sargeras, but failed. Even Kil'jaeden can't contact him. So, we can only rely on our own strength to act first."
Yun nodded thoughtfully, then looked around and asked, "So where should we go next? I can help you clean up these places."
Elodus smiled bitterly and replied: "To be honest, I don't know where to go. This place is really too big. We can only clean up one place we find."
Yun frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "By the way, where is the Burning Legion's base?"
Elodus was somewhat surprised by the question, but answered truthfully: "What happened in Antoran?"
Yun's expression became serious, and he said anxiously: "Quickly notify everyone and have them rush to Antoran immediately!"
Although Elodus was somewhat confused, he quickly went to convey the order.
Talrasha looked at Yun's reaction and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why do you suddenly want to go to Antoran?"
Yun took a deep breath and asked, "Who do you think most hopes that the Star Soul will awaken?"
Aaron answered without hesitation: "Of course it's the Titans. After the Star Soul awakens, they will have a new partner."
"But...are all the Titans in the same group?" Yun frowned and continued to ask.
Aaron showed a hint of surprise when he heard this, "Huh? Isn't it? Who else?" He seemed a little strange about Yun's question.
Sindialai on the side interrupted: "Sargeras."
Aaron was stunned when he heard this, "But..." He was about to refute but was interrupted by Yun.
"Why did Sargeras build the Burning Legion's base here? Doesn't he know that the planet will be destroyed after the Star Soul awakens? Then why did he do this? And now that the Legion of Light is constantly attacking and trying to awaken the Star Soul, why is Sargeras gone?" Yun's series of questions bombarded Aaron like a string of cannonballs, making him a little overwhelmed.
Aaron opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Yun continued, "You mean..." His gaze turned to Tal Rasha, who had a look of horror on her face.
"Yes, Sargeras has corrupted the Star Soul long ago. Even if the Star Soul awakens and becomes a Titan, it will be a Fel Titan, that is, a subordinate of Sargeras. That's why he did this. Even if all his subordinates die, he will still make a profit in exchange for such a Fel Titan." Yun's voice was low and firm.
After hearing Yun's analysis, everyone fell silent. After a while, Medivh spoke with some hesitation: "So our purpose of going to Antoran is to stop Sargeras from awakening the Star Soul?"
"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time, I don't know either." Yun's words revealed a kind of confusion and helplessness. He suddenly realized that the other party had carefully planned everything, but he was slow to realize it. Even if he saw the situation clearly now, it was too late. What's worse is that he found that he had no ability to stop all this from happening. This deep feeling of powerlessness made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Sindyalai's words were like a ray of light, illuminating the haze in Yun's heart. "Our presence here is a variable. The Star Soul cannot absorb our energy. We can create too many variables." Her voice was full of confidence and hope. "It's just right that we can feel what it's like to awaken the Star Soul here, so that we can better protect our planet when we return."
Sindyalai's words instantly livened up the gloomy atmosphere. Everyone realized that their coming to this strange place was not meaningless, but had an important mission. They could personally experience the process of the awakening of the star soul, so as to better understand and deal with similar situations that might occur on their own planet.
"Yes, this is not our planet. The purpose of our coming here is to feel the awakening of the star soul more directly so that we can protect our planet." Aaron agreed, "Why are we mourning here? When our planet is about to awaken, we will have plenty of time to mourn."
This statement was like a shot in the arm, and it lifted everyone up again. They began to realize that although the current situation was a bit difficult, they still had a chance to change things. Moreover, through this experience, they would gain valuable knowledge and experience, which was crucial to protecting their planet.
"Let's go and take a look!" Yun said loudly, and followed Elodus.
