"If I could precisely control time travel, and reach the ancient moment of the Battle of Dawn."
"Perhaps, I could try to pinpoint the location where the Dark Axe fell."
In the Dragon Court realm, within the Eternal Hall, upon learning the method to resurrect the dragon race's chief deity, an idea that coincided with the deity Garon emerged in Garon's mind.
However, this idea had just sprung from Garon's mind and was immediately dismissed by him.
"The Battle of Dawn."
"With my current level of strength, going to the Battle of Dawn would likely be a one-way trip."
Garon shook his head slightly, thinking helplessly.
Even if he could open the door to time and accurately arrive at the time of the Battle of Dawn, he couldn't just do it.
The Battle of Dawn was a true meat grinder.
And the ones being ground were gods and primeval gods.
The full-scale war between the primeval gods and the deities, which occurred since the birth of the multiverse, was the largest, most brutal, and top-tier war ever.
By comparison,
The order battles between the lower planes and the upper planes,
The bloody wars between Hell and the demons,
The Dragonfall War, the War of Glory. These were just child's play.
After all, in the end, the actual deaths of deities were few, the fall of a god or a demi-god being more impactful than the extinction of all life in the primary material world.
But the full-scale war between the primeval gods and the deities was different.
The number of gods and primeval gods who died added up, was no less than the number of existing deities.
Primeval gods, those ancient and original beings born with the universe, were decimated to one-tenth of their original number.
Moreover, as this conflict for dominion over the multiverse reached its climax, the Battle of Dawn was the most intense and bloody one, according to dragon records. During the Battle of Dawn, divine blood rained down into the primary material world like a downpour, thus nourishing and giving rise to an endless variety of life forms.
The diversification of species in the primary material world today is deeply related to the massive fall of deities during the Battle of Dawn.
The nine-faced dragon god, Io, whose split corpse turned into both Bahamut and Tiamat, two nearly powerful divine forces, shows just how mighty the dragon race's chief deity was, definitely among the top tier of nearly powerful divine forces.
But even the nine-faced dragon god fell during the Battle of Dawn.
Besides, there were also some forgotten powerful ancient deities, many primeval gods with nearly powerful divine forces such as the Lord of Blood, the Tide Master, the Lord of Steel, and so on, who died in the Battle of Dawn, were sealed and imprisoned, never to see the light of day again.
"Primeval god."
"The primeval sun god, the Night Serpent, the Lord of Terror."
The silver dragon murmured softly.
The Lord of Terror is said to have died.
The metal dragon god and the immortal dragon queen personally tore this primeval god into pieces.
Actually, the primeval gods Garon had interacted with were not many, only the primeval sun god and the Night Serpent.
The primeval sun god wanted to devour the continent of Noah that Garon was born on, forcing Garon to retaliate, using the Time Dragon Reversal to summon the golden Garon, and the ancient power dragon summoned by Yuna, shattering the avatar of the primeval god.
Honestly, although Garon regarded the primeval sun god as an enemy and listed him on his vengeance list,
He felt sorry for this primeval god.
A small Noah continent, where not even a demi-god existed, yet produced two thorn-like legendary dragon younglings at the same time, which was extremely unlucky.
Afterward, led by the metal dragon god and the god of light, he was besieged by the gods of Mount Heaven.
The realm of primeval gods located in the Abyss was shattered, causing the primeval sun god to still be licking his wounds in some unknown corner.
As for the Night Serpent,
This guy invaded Garon's dreams, trying to seduce Garon to follow him.
"Primeval gods are now weak, but only relatively speaking."
"Apart from the many deities that have defeated them, they are still fearless."
Garon felt that the primeval gods would not be content to be stepping stones for deities.
These guys would sooner or later rise from the ashes, causing trouble both overtly and covertly, attempting to overturn the divine authority, a point unanimously agreed upon by all deities, hence maintaining vigilance and caution against primeval gods.
"No more thinking about it."
"This matter is still far away from me."
Garon shook his head and stopped thinking about the primeval gods.
He still had his
own things to do.
As the river of time flowed quietly, Garon refocused his mind on the creation of the spirit of machinery, his mastery in this area increasing day by day, creating more advanced spirits of machinery in each experiment.
The goal of rewriting the core program of the mechanical grandmaster, Garon grew more confident.
Meanwhile,
In one of the four elemental planes of earth, water, wind, and fire, namely the plane of wind elements or the plane of air elements,
A total of ten high-ranking alpha pyromancers, led by a legendary pyromancer, were traveling through the endless churning clouds and hurricanes of the wind elemental plane.
The plane explorers described the wind elemental plane like this.
It's as open as the eternal sky.
It's as pure as a child's breath.
It's always falling.
It's an expansive plane that includes the sky above and below, with the sea of clouds churning wave after wave, sometimes swelling into huge thunderclouds, and sometimes dissipating into little cotton candy clouds. The endless wind howls constantly, and dazzling rainbows shine in the sea of clouds.
The pyromancers had left the planet Kara and arrived at the wind elemental plane months ago.
Since the buildings and cities in the wind elemental plane generally move with the wind, and very few are fixed in one place, it's indeed very difficult to find the alpha wind mages' city of Stormwind, which is inhabited in the boundless wind elemental plane.
However.
Just after arriving at the wind elemental plane,
The pyromancers felt a tingling sensation deep in their bloodlines.
As if an invisible thread connected them and a distant place on the other end, and the more powerful the spellcaster, the clearer the sensation.
Following the sensation in their bloodlines,
The pyromancers moved through the sky filled with clouds and strong winds, their bodies enveloped in rolling flames, a pair of wings of fire flapping behind them, resembling meteors streaking through the space of the wind elemental plane, leaving obvious trails in the sea of clouds.
Along the way, they encountered many native inhabitants of the wind elemental plane.
Hippogriffs, pegasus, beholders, winged lions, wind demons, bats, and various types of wind elemental creatures, etc.
During this, they encountered many attacks and harassment.
But the pyromancers were not an easy target. Legendary creatures are considered strong no matter what plane or world they go to, and high-ranking spellcasters are not weak either.
This team of pyromancers, having a clear target, did not disturb the creatures of the wind elemental plane along the way.
If they encountered an attack, they would swiftly turn the opponent to ashes without hesitation.
But this is the elemental grand plane, home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers, not some primary material world.
A few minutes later.
The high-speed moving pyromancers suddenly stopped in the air.
The pairs of wings of fire ceased flapping.
Their expressions became grave.
Ahead.
The pristine sea of clouds silently churned up and turned dark and oppressive, mixed with rolling thunder and storms, forming a giant elemental spirit over a hundred meters tall made of dark clouds.
A storm giant, and judging by the elemental form, at least a demi-god level storm giant.
A tangible oppressive force hit them.
The team leader of these pyromancers, a legendary pyromancer named Darwin, his expression changed slightly.
"You come uninvited, trespassing into my territory, disturbing my slumber."
"As punishment, stay here for a hundred years to serve me, and I will let you leave."
"Otherwise."
The blocking storm giant spoke in Common, with a clear threat in his words.
On the other hand.
The pyromancers remained silent, facing a demi-god storm giant, the natural tension due to the gap in life levels was inevitable, but, surprisingly, the storm giant found that he couldn't see a trace of fear or dread on the faces of these spellcasters.
After a brief silence.
Darwin looked up at the storm giant and politely said, "Mighty storm giant, we trespassed into your territory, I apologize on behalf of my people."
The storm giant's voice boomed like thunder, "A mere verbal apology cannot make me forgive you!"
During the conversation, clusters of lightning snakes danced wildly around its body, the surrounding weather changed, and the sea of clouds surged with tumultuous waves, the small figures of the pyromancers seemed like a fragile boat in the storm, shaking and about to capsize.
Darwin's face became stern, the other pyromancers also had serious expressions, praying silently to God Garon.
Then, amidst the raging storm, a giant dragon shadow, all in silver-white with platinum dragon pupils, slowly emerged, enveloping the bodies of these pyromancers.
This was the protection from God Garon.
At the sight of the dragon shadow.
The wild storm paused for a moment, and when it came
to its senses, its momentum weakened a lot.
The storm giant, with lightning in its eyes, showed a wary color, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you doing in the wind elemental plane?"
Darwin still maintained respect for the demi-god strong being, politely replied, "We are all part of the dragon god's family, following the edict of the Eternal and Time Dragon, to capture the criminal who offended the dragon god's glory in the wind elemental plane."
Eternal and Time Dragon.
In the War of Glory, the dragon race's killing star ascended to godhood. The storm giant's heart skipped a beat.
For the Eternal and Time Dragon, fellow true dragons naturally admire immensely, almost all true dragons from the dragon race deeply respect this newly appointed dragon god.
But Garon's reputation among other races is not so good.
Whether it's the reputation of sweeping the primary material world before ascending to godhood or the legendary deeds of replacing a medium divine force to become the biggest winner of the War of Glory, both have long been widely known. However, other species' view of Garon is more of dread and fear.
Feeling the slight divine power fluctuations flowing around the pyromancers, the storm giant restrained its power.
Its massive elemental body filled with thunderstorms and hurricanes underwent a change.
At the same time, its large elemental form slowly shrank, the internal lightning and hurricanes dissipated, turning into a harmless and pure small storm giant.
A friendly smile squeezed onto the storm giant's face.
"So it's the family of the Eternal and Time Dragon."
"I'm well aware of the deeds of this dragon god and also aspire to them."
"That misunderstanding just now was just a small mistake."
"Where do you want to go? To make up for the time delayed by the misunderstanding, I'd be happy to give you a ride. In the wind elemental plane, only those stronger than me, the wind elemental lords, can move faster than me."
"Don't refuse, I've just ended my hibernation and need to move my body."
Seeing the quickly changing attitude and friendly tone of the storm giant.
The pyromancers looked at each other, then simultaneously felt a sense of pride as members of the family of the Eternal and Time Dragon.
Just hearing the name of the Time Dragon made a demi-god storm giant polite to these highest legendary spellcasters, something that creatures without a background couldn't even dare to dream of.
Having a dragon behind you feels great.
The spellcasters thought in unison.
"Lord Giant, then we'll trouble you."
Looking at the friendly storm giant, Darwin spoke softly.
Immediately.
A whirlwind picked up the pyromancers.
The storm giant took them into its body.
"Where to?"
Darwin, following the connection in his blood, pointed in a direction.
Instantly, the humanoid limbs of the storm giant disappeared, turning into a fierce whirlwind, tearing and swirling through the sea of clouds at high speed, quickly covering a vast distance in a blink of an eye.
As time passed.
The throbbing of the alpha bloodline grew stronger.
This meant that the distance between the pyromancers and the wind mages was rapidly closing.
The expressions of the pyromancers became more solemn and complex.
"Alpha wind mage."
"The war that destroyed nations was caused by us pyromancers."
"But, the spell that ultimately brought down the glorious and prosperous Alpha Empire, along with its associated primary material world, was actually cast by your wind mages."
Darwin gazed into the distance, murmuring softly.
Discussing who was right or wrong between pyromancers and wind mages, and who had more sins, was meaningless now.
As remnants of the Alpha Tia Empire, in reality, if the wind mages were willing to coexist peacefully, the pyromancers would be more than happy, but the last encounter sent a very unfriendly signal from the other side.
Nearly ten thousand years have passed.
The pyromancers have already let go of past hatreds.
But it seems this lineage of wind mages doesn't think so.
After a while.
Darwin covered his chest with his hand.
His heart began to pump faster, the sensation in his bloodline clearer than ever.
Turning his head, his gaze passed through the body of the storm giant, and a towering city floating among the wild winds and clouds appeared in front of the pyromancers.
This was Stormwind City.
Wind elemental lives, elemental giants, humans, wind-descended races of different forms, all kinds of intelligent creatures lived within Stormwind City.
Around them, creatures could be seen coming and going within Stormwind City.
They all possessed the ability to fly.
In the wind elemental plane, islands, cities, stones, and such are rare, and creatures without the ability to fly simply cannot survive.
Ssss.
The wind tugged at the pyromancers, pushing them out of the body of the storm giant.
The storm giant returned to a
humanoid form, looking towards Stormwind City.
"You want to go to this Stormwind City to capture criminals?"
It stopped in its tracks, its tone strange as it asked.
Darwin nodded, "Yes, right here."
He sensed the odd tone in the storm giant's voice and said, "Your Excellency, it seems you have something to say."
The storm giant's body trembled with a gust of wind, saying, "Stormwind City is not uncommon by the name, but I didn't expect it to be this one."
It pointed towards a part of Stormwind City, saying, "Do you see the emblem on the city wall?"
Following its gaze, the pyromancers saw an emblem design.
It was a flawless white cloud stamped against a blue sky background.
Seeing this emblem, the well-informed legendary spellcasters' faces tensed.
"This Stormwind City belongs to the great Wind Elemental Queen Arcadi, one of the cities under the Wind Elemental Queen's jurisdiction."
"Anyone entering the city is protected by the Wind Elemental Queen."
"Conflicts and clashes can only occur outside the city, and any fighting within the city is considered disrespectful to the Wind Elemental Queen, and will be torn to shreds by furious winds."
Speaking of the Wind Elemental Queen, the storm giant's voice carried a tone of reverence.
"Capturing a resident of this city might not be so easy."
It warned.
Wind Elemental Queen.
Darwin's expression grew heavier.
Earth, water, wind, fire.
These four elemental planes each have many elemental lords of varying strength levels.
But in each elemental plane, there is undoubtedly the strongest elemental lord, whose status in their own elemental plane is akin to a chief deity of a god system, enjoying many followers' faith, possessing powerful divine forces, and also significant near-divine forces.
Arcadi, the Wind Elemental Queen.
She is both the whispering breeze and the sky-covering storm.
She is the strongest elemental lord in the wind elemental plane, one of the four elemental chief gods, belonging to the absolutely neutral camp.
And the most interesting part.
The four elemental chief gods, while they are deities, are also all primeval gods, wielding the initial elemental powers. However, these four primeval gods stood on the opposite side of the primeval gods during the Battle of Dawn, siding with the deities.
After the Battle of Dawn, they then gained extraordinary divine powers, similarly becoming deities.
Undoubtedly, among all the primeval gods, the four elemental chief gods are the best off. Recognizing that the chaotic system of primeval gods could not oppose the unified front of deities, and that failure was inevitable, they chose to fight for the deities.
Afterward, not only did they become deities, wielding extraordinary divine powers.
They also advanced triumphantly, and now they have ascended to become powerful divine forces.
Now fully part of the deity camp as powerful divine forces.
As for the cost, it is the endless malice and scrutiny from the remaining primeval gods.
"I'll leave you here."
"Whatever you do in Stormwind City after this, it's none of my concern."
After finishing speaking, the storm giant once again transformed into a tornado, gradually disappearing from the pyromancers' sight.
The pyromancers flapped their wings of fire, hovering in the air, gazing towards Stormwind City.
"Let's enter the city."
Darwin said solemnly.
Immediately.
A group of pyromancers turned into streaks of firelight, approaching Stormwind City, then retracted the wings of fire formed by spells, stepping onto the solid, magically-metal-forged land on the outskirts of the city.
Before officially entering Stormwind City.
Suddenly, several human spellcasters surrounded by wind elemental energy left the city, forming an encircling stance, surrounding the pyromancers.
The wind mages were also aware of the pyromancers' arrival through the sensation in their bloodlines.
"Heh, you remnants of pyromancers, dare to come to Stormwind City again!"
A male spellcaster, his gaze piercing towards the pyromancers.
During his speech, the surrounding wind elemental energy rapidly gathered, and several wind mages had already begun preparing spells.
In the wind elemental plane, if a battle breaks out, wind mages hold a great geographical advantage, and this is their long-inhabited place, compared to the recently arrived pyromancers, they are also more numerous.
At this moment.
Other intelligent species in Stormwind City cast curious glances at the confronting spellcasters.
Fighting within Stormwind City is forbidden, but outside the city, it is allowed.
Watching the hundreds of eager wind mages, Darwin's gaze hardened, the presence of a legendary spellcaster bursting forth, he took a firm step forward, and said sternly, "Remnants? Insulting the dragon god's family again, do you want to be exterminated?"
Boom!
Flames surged, burning spontaneously around the legendary spellcaster
as the center, the intense heat causing the nearby creatures' skin to sting, making them instinctively step back.
Feeling the presence emitted by Darwin, the majority of the wind mages stiffened their faces.
At the same time, other pyromancers also had flames and elemental light glowing on their bodies, releasing the aura of high-ranking spellcasters.
The wind mages confronting the pyromancers, although more numerous, varied in strength, with only one reaching the legendary level, the first male spellcaster who spoke.
This wind mage wore a light blue robe, his face stern, his eyes as sharp as the wind.
A barrier of wild wind rose from the ground, resisting the high temperature of the flames.
"Dragon god's family? What do you mean?"
The wind mage was visibly uneasy.
Darwin said sternly, "We, the Alpha Pyromancers, are now part of the family of the Eternal and Time Dragon."
He stared at the wind mage, word by word, "You arbitrarily slaughtered members of the dragon god's family, already provoking the dragon god's majesty. If you do not hand over those who killed the dragon god's family, then you will bear the consequences."
Eternal and Time Dragon. A stir passed through the crowd watching the spectacle.
Unexpectedly, just watching the spellcasters face off, they could hear the name of the dragon god.
Many of the more timid intelligent creatures, afraid of being involved, wisely moved away, but there were still some daring ones who became even more interested and watched the spellcasters face off from within the city, not blinking.
Regarding the wind mages, these residents of Stormwind City are aware.
In their eyes, these wind mages are a mysterious spellcaster family that never intermarries with outsiders and has a high proportion of spellcasters. Their power has always been neither too big nor too small, maintained at a few thousand people.
As for the recently arrived dragon god's family, those spellcasters brimming with fiery energy.
They also didn't seem easy to provoke.
"Dragon god's family, the Eternal and Time Dragon."
After hearing the words of the legendary pyromancer, the leader of the wind mages' face fluctuated.
"Who among you participated in the killing of the dragon god's family? If you don't want your entire clan exterminated, step forward voluntarily."
Representing the dragon god's majesty, Darwin was imposing at this moment.
On the other side, the wind mages fell silent.
Too many of their clan members were involved; they couldn't possibly hand them over.
Then, the leader of the wind mages began to slowly retreat with his clan members, saying, "This is Stormwind City, the neutral territory of the Wind Elemental Queen, where fighting is forbidden."
Under the pressure of the ten pyromancers.
The several hundred wind mages, who held the advantage, retreated into Stormwind City.
"You pyromancer remnants are not worth mourning. We won't hand over our clan members."
"If you dare, disregard the Wind Elemental Queen's decree, enter Stormwind City, and kill us."
