Chapter 1 Goodbye, Azeroth!
January 24, 2023, an ordinary day.

But for Zhou Shen, who was staying at home, this was an extraordinary day because a large-scale online game called "World of Warcraft" was about to shut down its servers today.

There are many games in this world. New games are launched almost every month, and several games are also shut down.

But for a millionaire like Zhou Shen, World of Warcraft is different. It has been with Zhou Shen for a full ten years. It is a legend in the online gaming world. For Zhou Shen, it is a game and also a world. Here he has friends, comrades-in-arms, and his youth.

This world was born because of a group of people who loved games. It became great because of a group of people fighting in the world of Azeroth. But in the end, it was destroyed by a greedy soul!
When the news of Mou Yi and BoLiZha’s breakup first came out, Zhou Shen knew that this world was about to leave him.

He probably won't come back to this world! Although the recent versions of World of Warcraft are full of perfunctory, continuous updates have turned this world into a backyard for fast food and studios. Some even say that World of Warcraft is dead.

The heroes in this world have lost their personalities and people no longer recognize them. Its original epic plot has been changed beyond recognition. If the horn of the expedition to Northrend brought it to the peak, then the story of Shadowlands is the end of this legend.

But when it was really about to leave him, Zhou Shen felt very sad. It was not just a game, it was the home of a millionaire lord.

The small bedroom was dark, with only the fluorescent light from the monitor. The faint light and the neon light coming in from the window seemed to cover the small room with a layer of illusory gauze.

Zhou Shen stopped his only character in the nostalgic server: a human paladin, in the Valley of Heroes in Stormwind City. Then he stared at the statues of the five heroes of the expedition in a daze, and time passed by second by second. He pulled out his friend list and sent a message to his last old friend Dong Ge in private chat: "Goodbye!"

Before he could get a reply from the other side, the server was shut down on time and returned to the login interface. Zhou Shen sighed and left that world with full of regrets.

However, the memories left in the mind are not the gorgeous equipment, not the beautiful mounts and pets, nor the powerful leaders and magnificent battles.

It was the painting and the little wooden warhammer of love and family; it was the lonely back of Varian Wrynn facing the horde of demons; it was Rheastrasza desperately protecting the dragon egg. The powerful red dragon left only a charred corpse, and she used her child to redeem the last hope.

Yes, this world has left, but it has accompanied me through ten years of my youth.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shen closed the client and took a look at Hearthstone, which he was on the minimum living allowance every month: Give me back my hard-earned money! This is a derivative game of World of Warcraft! Zhou Shen invested a lot of time and money in it.

I still remember the joy I felt when I opened the golden super pipe (Sun Keeper Talim 6 mana 3-7, not Jedrik the Pure. Talim can attack or defend, and has both offensive and defensive capabilities.), and the words: "Un'Goro belongs to the Titans!" seem to be still ringing in my ears!
Alas, Hearthstone is also leaving him. He can no longer spend his weekends looking at a certain line of 810975. He can no longer sit casually in the Stonehearth Tavern.

In fact, his luck was pretty good. He had opened many high-quality golden oranges, such as Frost Witch Jaina, Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, N'Zoth, and of course, the golden Millhouse. Now the only regret might be that he didn't gild the Paladin's professional orange Tirion Fordring.

Then Zhou Shen's eyes fell on a devilish icon: "Diablo II: Lord of Destruction". He suddenly perked up and said to himself: "Standalone is still better!"

In this antique-level game, there is also a character called Paladin. Zhou Shen's love for the Paladin profession also started from this game. So he clicked on the game icon.

He entered the game and stared at a barbarian named Susu in the character list. He created a new character, chose the Paladin, and entered the name: Zhou Shen. Then he prepared to start his nostalgic journey tonight. Anyway, he still had some annual leave left, so he, who couldn't go home, could fight all night.

Blizzard is really thoughtful. It humanely changed the Spring Festival event originally scheduled for the 20th to the 24th.

Entering the old portal, Zhou Shen's Paladin killed zombies and bristly rats in the heavy rain. He soon reached level 2 and walked back to the Rogue Camp. He ignored Warriv's task and walked over to open the public storage box. He remembered that he had stored some low-level equipment and scrolls in it. As soon as he opened the public storage box, he heard the sound of the chassis getting louder.

Hey, I'm old, the game is old, and this machine is old too. It looks like I'll have to change it in a couple of days. He ignored it.

There were several pieces of equipment in the public storage box. The first thing he saw was a shield. Well, this new moon can have one. Then he placed his mouse on a small amulet next to the shield:

Small Amulet of Destruction
Keeping it in your inventory has many additional benefits
+7 All Skills 100% Higher Chance to Obtain Magical Equipment

Click it with the mouse and it will move like a coin. Once you use it, the game will quickly become boring. The chassis will scream, and then boom!
It's over. I'd better buy a new computer as soon as possible. I didn't make dumplings with my parents this year!
It hurts! Good... It hurts!

His memory began to become fragmented, and pain filled his soul. He felt as if his soul was pulled away by something and entered a new space.

When the great pain in his soul eased a little, he heard a middle-aged man's anxious shout: "Kalandra, what happened to Tailan?"

A crying female voice said, "Tailan went to practice horseback riding today and fell off his horse. He hit his head on a rock."

The female voice continued, "It's all your fault. You taught your son the way of chivalry all day long! Have you ever taken care of this family? Have you ever taken care of your son? He's already 8 years old, and the time he's spent with you...is it a year in total?"

The middle-aged man seemed to be silent. At this time, the door was pushed open, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps. The male voice said, "Alton, you have worked hard."

The man named Alton said, "Sir, Pastor Esenlin is here."

At this time, a kind male voice came:

"Tirion, don't worry, I will treat little Taelan right away."

"Tirion? Taelan?" Is this World of Warcraft?
Zhou Shen couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I traveled through time?"

"Is this Azeroth?"

Zhou Shen, who was blindly happy, suddenly had countless tentacles flashing through his mind, and a giant dragon covered in flames flew through the air. Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, houses collapsed, and the countries turned into a sea of ​​fire.

In fact, Azeroth is not that beautiful. It is a world more terrifying than Diablo's Sanctuary. On average, there is a world-destroying disaster once a year, and countless monsters are waiting in line to destroy this new world. And mortals will never be safe.

In the world of Diablo, at least there are Nephalem, also known as Nephalem. No matter how vicious the three demons are, or how treacherous and cunning Belial is, they are all sent back to hell by the Nephalem like cutting melons and vegetables.

Even the powerful high-level angel Imperius can only kneel before the Nephalem. And in the World of Warcraft, humans will never be able to master that powerful ultimate power. This is a world full of heroes, but when your soul travels here, it is not so beautiful.

At this moment, a sweet voice sounded in Zhou Shen's ears:

"Welcome to Azeroth! Nephalem Guidance System Loading!"

 New book uploaded! There has been a lot of news recently! Suddenly I remembered that I have been gone for a whole year! When I looked at those characters in Azeroth before, I couldn't help but feel regretful, so I wrote a story! To make up for the regrets of the past!

  Happy Chinese New Year!
