Dilong

The warm winter light shines sparsely through the dense coniferous forest.

On the planet Azeroth, between the snow-covered mountains, Saga, his clone of God Saga who had returned to normal size, and Sargeras descended.

Saga looked around.

The sky was filled with snow and wind, and the bright soul light filled it. It danced with the light and slowly settled into the core of the planet, forming a strange dreamlike scene.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down.

Saga could clearly see that the endless soul energy coming from the starry sky gathered into a vast river, and was compressed at the end like a solid sphere, constantly nourishing and strengthening the magical life inside, making it thrive and its illusory body continued to solidify.

Saga saw it clearly.

Inside the cocoon-like and ball-like soul energy, there is a special life form that looks like a giant dragon.

It has a body covered with silver scales that are as structured as diamonds, and three pairs of dragon horns on its head that grow upward in a winding manner. However, it does not look majestic, but rather beautiful and cute, with only the short and shallow tips showing. The dragon wings, limbs, and tail are also short and thick.

This is a star soul in the form of a young dragon.

And as it absorbs soul energy, it gradually grows at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The consciousness I left behind in the Well of Eternity affected the Star Soul, causing it to identify itself as a dragon."

Looking at the Star Soul that looked like a silver dragon hatchling, Saga thought silently.

The yipping consciousness within the Well of Eternity is only a part of the star soul consciousness.

Nowadays, almost all intelligent creatures in Azeroth are praying to the Moon Goddess who is related to the Star Soul. During this prayer process, the ideas of different intelligent creatures are also shaping the cognition of the Star Soul.

However, the prayers of these intelligent creatures are very shallow compared to the direct and close influence of Saga.

Among all the shaping of self-awareness, Yiya consciousness occupies the largest part, so it is not surprising that it turns into a dragon.

"Yeah, I'm proud of you."

Saga smiled gently, and his will instantly penetrated the barriers of the planet's soil, rocks and soul energy, gently caressing the little dragon growing and nurturing in the deepest part, conveying a gentle and joyful spiritual fluctuation.

The perception of a normal demigod is simply unable to penetrate the soul energy that is now everywhere.

but.

The ban that all the Titans once set up in Azeroth could not restrict Saga, who was stronger than all of them combined. This was not the material world of the Great Circle, and the oppression and constraints were very limited.

Buzz.
The sphere, which looked like a cocoon egg, swayed slightly.

The little dragon did not wake up, but when it felt the familiar mental fluctuations, it emitted an emotional response of dependence on Rumu.

After spending a thousand years with a wisp of Saga's consciousness in the Well of Eternity, and with Saga's consciousness's constant teachings, Eya's consciousness gradually developed a kind of affection for Saga like a child has for a parent.

"Leave the rest to me. Just grow up well and we will be able to meet officially soon."

It became stable again. From Saga's words, the little dragon was concentrating on absorbing soul energy with peace of mind. Its growth rate became faster, and it changed from a dragon hatchling to a young dragon. It was still growing rapidly into a young dragon, and its body posture changed significantly with almost every breath.

"Master, congratulations on your breakthrough and entry into the realm of advanced gods."

"Well, you are currently at the limit of a mid-level god. If you eat more ancient gods, is there a chance you can break through?"

"The chances are slim. At my level, quantity alone doesn't have much effect. Quality is needed."

"In other words, we need an ancient god of a higher level?"

"Yes, but the highest level of the Ancient Gods is a mid-level divine creature. Above that, they are no longer Ancient Gods, but their creators, the Void Lords."

Because the consciousness is connected.

The conversation between Saga and his clone is more like asking and answering himself.

Before one person asks the question and gives the answer, the other one already knows it in his heart.

"Void Lord, this creature is probably not simple. I have heard of it not only in Azeroth."

"If there is a chance, I will get you a Void Lord to eat, so that your life can be upgraded and sublimated."

Saga stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

“It couldn’t be better for me.”

God Saga grinned and said, "I really want to taste the taste of the Void Lord. I am tired of eating the tools of the Old Gods."

The current incarnation of God Saga is still essentially an ancient god. Although he has escaped from the control of the Void Lord, he is still far inferior to him in status. Unless there are accidents, it will be difficult for him to break through his own status and reach the realm of higher-level gods.

The most effective way is to devour a Void Lord.

but.

In the Azeroth multiverse, the Void Lords have never really arrived. They have always been sending the Old Gods to achieve their goals. They are not so easy to encounter. As for leaving the multiverse and reaching the realm between multiverses to hunt the Void Lords, Saga does not think it is a good idea.

He currently has no understanding of the boundaries between the multiverses.

If you get involved rashly, you might get yourself into huge trouble.

Although Saga loves adventure, he seldom does things that he is completely unsure of. Besides, he is not yet at the point where he needs to take risks outside the multiverse to improve himself, so there is no need to put himself in danger.

Suddenly, it seemed as if I sensed something.

Saga raised his head, his gaze penetrated the snowy sky and reached the distant starry sky. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw something.

"If the Void Lord himself descended into the multiverse, the situation would be different."

In the star field thousands of light years away, a hazy purple light appeared at some point, reflected in the pupils of the golden dragon that sensed the abnormality and perceived this place.

Saga was very familiar with this hazy purple color.

He had seen it in the consciousness world of Asha'j.

Turning to look at the silent Sargeras, Saga said: "Sargeras, you and my clone will stay near the planet Azeroth in case of any unexpected situation."

"I'm going to meet an old friend."

Sargeras was slightly startled.

After reacting, he asked solemnly: "So many ancient gods have died, isn't it over yet?"

Saga shook his head slightly and didn't say anything more to Sargeras. He waved his dragon wings and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The crystal clear snowflakes were still swirling and falling with the cold wind.

Raising his dragon claws and letting the snowflakes fall, God Saga laughed and said to Sargeras: "So many ancient gods have died, how can this end so easily?"

Hearing this, Sargeras was silent for a moment, then slowly asked:

"The Void Lord is coming?"

God Saga nodded slowly.

The ancient gods destroyed by Saga are all the ancient gods existing in the multiverse of Azeroth.

These minions were all wiped out at once. If the Void Lord had not given up his idea of ​​​​this multiverse, he would have to take the risk and come in person.

Once the star souls grow up, the ancient gods at the middle level will be basically useless, and there is no point in creating new ones. With the addition of Saga, a powerful foreign aid, it will be more difficult for the Void Lord who covets this place. Now is the Void Lord's last chance.

at the same time.

In the vast and silent starry sky, billions of stars twinkle with a faint glow, but none of them can compare to the dazzling light of the golden dragon's scales.

Ahead is a mysterious and bizarre star field that is coated with a layer of purple luster.

The golden dragon hovered motionless, watching quietly without making any rash moves.

As time passed, the purple color that was originally only a light layer covering the surface of the starry sky became deeper and deeper, corroding and eroding more deeply, and turned into a rich and deep purple.

suddenly.

Purple light rolled up like mist, and from it came a whisper of surprise and appreciation.

"We meet again, magical creature." "Now you are qualified to know my name."

call!
Countless purple lights rolled and spread out in the surroundings, and an enormous purple eye as big as a star squeezed out from it.

It was the Void Lord that Saga had seen in Yashaarj's consciousness.

In fact, it’s not just A’Shaarj.

All the Old Gods in the multiverse of Azeroth are creations of this Void Lord, and are its tentacles and minions reaching into the multiverse of Azeroth.

Now all these tentacles and minions have been cut off by Saga.

As a last resort, it came in person.

However, facing Saga who had ruined his plan, the Void Lord did not show any anger. Instead, his words were filled with pure curiosity, like a scholar's curiosity about the unknown.

There was a pause.

More bodies of the Void Lords squeezed in.

A special substance that looks like stratum corneum and similar to bone wraps around the huge purple eye that is as big as a star. Directly above the purple eye, there are three much smaller eyeballs that are also celestial-level. The four eyes, one big and three small, are staring at the golden dragon opposite.

“My name is Vel’Koz. Some creatures who fear me respect me as the Eye of the Void.”

As he was speaking, more bodies from the Eye of the Void came in.

Behind its eyeball, from the keratin bone layer that wraps the eyeball, three huge, slender tentacles extend from different directions, constantly swimming and twisting irregularly in the starry sky.

Just an eyeball is like the largest star.

Although it was not intentional, a terrifying sense of oppression emanated from every corner of his body.

The previous ancient gods, as well as the gigantic gods Saga and Sargeras, when fully expanded, compared with this Void Lord, the gap in size is even greater than the gap between a baby and an adult.

"I'm curious why you can improve so quickly."

"I see a hidden mystery in you."

The Eye of the Void stared at the golden dragon in front of it that was as small as dust and whispered.

"Want to know my secret? Exchange your knowledge for mine."

Seeing that the other party had the desire to communicate, Saga was not in a hurry to start attacking directly, and spoke calmly.

"I have been to more worlds than you can imagine. I have endless knowledge. What do you want to know?"

Compared to the battle, or even compared to the multiverse, the Eye of the Void is more curious about Saga himself.

"Where are you from?"

"Void."

"The Void? Is it a realm outside the multiverse?"

"Yes, it seems that you already have a certain understanding of the void. The void is like an infinite ocean, and the finite multiverse is an isolated island existing in the void ocean."

After hearing this answer, even Saga's mood fluctuated a little.

According to the Eye of the Void, the void is the main body, and the multiverse is just an embellishment? Then, in this ocean called the void, how many void creatures like the Eye of the Void exist?

Saga suddenly felt a chill.

"With your wisdom, you will surely understand the greatness of the void."

The purple eyes flickered slightly, and the Eye of the Void invited Saga: "Embrace the void, you can become a part of the void, I will be happy to lead you to the embrace of the void and become one of us."

Saga neither agreed nor refused directly.

"What does the void look like?"

He changed the subject and asked again.

The Eye of the Void is very easy to talk to. Beams of light shoot out from its eyes, interweaving into a purple light curtain, inside which is the scene of the void.

It is boundless and purple-hazy. Apart from the void creatures of various shapes swimming around in it, there is also a multiverse that isolates the void and looks like a sphere or a bubble from the outside. There is no other life or matter, it is empty and lonely.

“It looks boring.”

Saga said truthfully.

"No, you cannot understand the void."

The Eye of the Void asked in a knowing tone, "What do you think is the ultimate pursuit of life?"

Without waiting for Saga to answer, the Eye of Void asked and answered itself, saying: "Is it eternal immortality? Is it true freedom? Is it infinite power? No, it is growth and evolution!"

“No matter what you want or what you pursue, as long as you keep evolving and evolving in the direction you want, you will eventually be able to achieve it.”

"Pursuit is only superficial, evolution is the truth!"

"Only the ultimate evolution can allow individual life to be on par with the universe, or even comparable to the great void, and become the ultimate existence that controls everything."

The rational voice of the Eye of the Void was tinged with a hint of fanaticism.

Saga remained silent and fell into deep thought.

The Eye of the Void recovered and said seriously: "Becoming a void creature can allow you to gain unlimited devouring evolutionary power, break free from the original shackles, and gain unlimited possibilities."

However, the minions created by the Ancient Gods all have powerful evolutionary abilities that seem terrifying to Saga.

Saga had no doubt about the infinite power of evolution that the Eye of the Void spoke of.

But there is no such thing as perfection?
After pondering for a moment, Saga stared at the Eye of the Void and said, "What is the price of becoming a void creature?"

The tentacles of the Eye of the Void swayed gently.

"Living mainly in the void, feeding on the multiverse and each other, and once evolution begins, it cannot be stopped. The boiling and surging evolutionary instinct will drive you to devour everything."

"Compared to the unlimited potential of becoming an Ultimate Being, this price is insignificant."

negligible?

Saga couldn't agree.

Living mainly in the void means that the color of life will only be the purple of the void, and no more colorful and wonderful things.

Feeding on the multiverse and on each other, and being unable to stop is even more unacceptable. It means endless fighting. Although Saga loves fighting, his life is not just about fighting.

As for the evolutionary abilities that come at a price.

Saga looked at the Eye of Void carefully and sneered:
"You said it very well, but in my opinion, your so-called evolutionary power is just average."

"If you can really evolve infinitely, why are you still a quasi-high-level god? You have been stagnant in this realm for a long time, and have not grown to a higher level. The infinite evolutionary power you speak of must also have limitations."

Saga was still a legend when he first arrived in Azeroth.

At that time, the Eye of the Void that caused Sargeras to fear and fall already existed. It was a kind of high-level god.

Saga quickly crossed several huge life chasms from a legend, became a quasi-high-level god, and caught up with the Eye of the Void. This shows that the opponent's evolutionary ability is also very limited. At the very least, its evolutionary speed is definitely not as fast as Saga's growth speed.

If it were a normal creature, it would probably be very excited, or even ecstatic.

But to Saga, the words of the Eye of Void were not very tempting.

Even though he was already a high-level god, Saga still didn't feel his limits.

Perhaps when he feels that he has reached his limits and it is difficult to make further progress and growth, Saga will consider accepting the invitation of the Eye of the Void, but Saga is not very interested now.

but.

Letting the clone become a void creature is something you can consider. (End of this chapter)
