Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 477: The Dragon God's Prophecy
Mysterious voice: "Did you encounter a disaster dragon? Did you get its heart?" Aidan Delong (Storm Dragon King): "No, but I did find traces of disaster dragons and almost encountered one. Can you tell me about the origins of disaster dragons? Why do they want to destroy the world?"
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. If we want to deal with the disaster dragons in the future, we must naturally figure out their purpose.
Mysterious voice: "You want to know the story about the disaster dragon? Haha, well, of course, there is nothing worth hiding, let me tell you this ancient story.
The disaster dragon kings were once just ordinary members of the ancient dragons, just like other ancient dragons.
When the Dragon God fell and the dragons were leaderless, the ancient dragons that were still cursed by flesh and blood and transformed into proto-dragons were very confused about how to deal with everything that happened next. Without the guidance of the Dragon God, everything became chaos.
Then the ancient dragon king Galakrond summoned the ten most powerful ancient dragons, gathered the last remaining power of the ancient dragon clan, and tried to establish a connection with the Dragon God.
They prayed to the Dragon God, asking for his response, because the Dragon God holds the authority of time. If the Dragon God could be resurrected in the future, he would surely give them revelations.
They did succeed, and after a long prayer, the long-dead Dragon God gave them a prophecy from the future."
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Prophecy? What kind of prophecy?"
Mysterious Voice: "Prophecy about the end of the world and the return of the Dragon God.
The prophecy says - in the distant future.
The world will experience four great disasters in succession.
The world will be engulfed by an indescribable terrifying existence, and then the Dragon God will return and choose a new path for this world.
The prophecy says:
Frost freezes life and the dead are scattered all over the world.
The flames burned the world, burning up the rivers and mountains.
The earth collapsed and shattered, and terrifying monsters appeared.
The doomsday storm is coming and the old world is destroyed.
No matter if they are humble mortals or peerless powerful ones.
If not even one of the ten can survive, it will be difficult to escape disaster.
When everything is destroyed, the Dragon God will return.
The thread of the world's destiny will no longer be visible."
The mysterious voice suddenly stopped, as if it was recalling the terrible disaster predicted by the ancient prophecy and the beautiful vision of the return of the Dragon God.
After hearing this, Murphy was speechless. He didn't expect that the Dragon God's prophecy would coincide with the Storm Dragon doctrine he had made up.
Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "And then? What happened?"
Mysterious voice: "Then a dispute broke out, and the ancient dragons - or the ancestor dragons - split into three factions because of the prophecy.
A group of proto-dragons, led by Galakrond, believed that since the prophecy had already indicated that the Dragon God would return in the future, all they had to do was wait patiently. During this period, everyone could be busy with their own things, doing what they wanted to do, and waiting for the return of the Dragon God.
A group of proto-dragons led by Neltharion, Alexstrasza, Malygos, Ysera, and Nozdormu believed that the prophecy had foreshadowed the terrible disaster in the future. In order to cope with this disaster, they must accumulate strength and prepare for the arrival of the disaster.
To do this, we must cooperate with the Titans and the gods. Only in this way can we gain enough strength so that when the doomsday comes, we will have more resources to deal with it.
However, a group of ancestral dragons led by Ilydikon, Lesajes, Veranoz, and Felak believed that there was no need to cooperate with the gods at all. Only the dragon clan was qualified to master such an important prophecy.
The fate of this world will also be controlled by the dragon clan.
Since the prophecy has already explained the important opportunity and necessary conditions for the return of the Dragon God, instead of waiting aimlessly for the prophecy to come true, it is better to take the initiative to realize the prophecy and take control of your destiny in your own hands.
As for how to fulfill the prophecy - since there are four terrible disasters in the prophecy, then let's create these four disasters.
They believe that they should directly absorb the power of the elements, transform into a giant dragon of disaster, and create those four horrific disasters. As long as the four disasters occur, the Dragon God will naturally return. "
After hearing this, Murphy suddenly realized that this was the case. These three factions must be the three major classifications of the dragon clan today.
The alien dragon king lies down and waits for the return of the Dragon God.
The guardian faction of the Dragon Legion banded together to prepare for the four disasters.
The Doomsday Faction of the Dragon King of Disaster, let's take the initiative to embrace the end of the world and create disasters. The world is going to be destroyed anyway, so why not do it ourselves?
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "And then?"
Mysterious Voice: “What happened next was nothing new. It was like any other organization that had a dispute. The dispute turned into hostility, and the hostility turned into war.
Galakrond and other proto-dragons scattered east and west, while Neltharion and other five great dragons surrendered to the Titans and gods. They revealed the prophecies of the Dragon God, and obtained the power of law and authority bestowed by the Titans and gods, becoming the so-called guardian dragons.
Humph, the guardian dragons are nothing but a group of traitors.
However, Ilydikon, Lesajes, Veranoz, Felak and other disaster dragons have already begun to carry out their plans to destroy the world.
They believe that based on the information in the prophecy, the four disasters should obviously be the disaster of frost, the disaster of fire, the disaster of earth, and the disaster of storm.
They just happened to correspond to the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth, so they absorbed the corresponding elemental power respectively and became pure elemental dragons - the Disaster Dragon King.
Prepare to destroy the world.
In order to protect this world, the guardian dragons fought a brutal war with the disaster dragons. Due to the intervention of the gods, the disaster dragons were eventually defeated. Except for the storm dragon Lysajess who escaped, the other three disaster dragon kings were sealed away. "
Aidan Delong (Storm Dragon King): "Why don't you just kill them? If you seal them up, you'll have to worry about them escaping."
A mysterious voice said, "No one knows why, but I can probably guess that the guardian dragons also believe that the end of the world will come. Rather than facing an unknown disaster, it is better to keep these three disaster dragons and release them when we are fully prepared, so that we can face the four disasters under control."
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "So the four disasters are really what the scourge dragons think they are, four great natural disasters?"
Mysterious voice: "Prophecy is never predictable. If it can be predicted, how can it be called a prophecy? Their behavior is so ridiculous, it is just a futile struggle.
The Dragon God must have a deeper meaning and will not easily reveal the truth, so he left the message in the form of a proverb."
After hearing this, Murphy agreed with it.
Although these four disasters seem to be related to the elements at first glance, frost - fire - earth - storm, but if combined with the current game background and the history of World of Warcraft, it is not difficult to judge that these four disasters are not simple natural disasters at all.
【Frost freezes life, and the dead are scattered all over the world.】
It is most likely referring to the Frozen Throne and the Scourge. In the history of Warcraft, the destructive power of the Scourge far exceeds that of the invasion of the Orc Horde. It can be said to be the first world-destroying disaster.
[The flames burn the world, burning up the rivers and mountains. 】
What is referred to here should be the Burning Legion. Historically, the purpose of the Scourge is to summon the Burning Legion to Azeroth, and the goal of the Burning Legion is to completely destroy the world of Azeroth. I just don’t know how the Burning Legion will come this time?
[The earth collapses and shatters, and a terrifying monster appears. ]
Regarding this sentence, Murphy guessed that it should be Deathwing and Cataclysm. In the history of Warcraft, the next expansion pack after Wrath of the Lich King is Cataclysm/Catastrophic, and Deathwing rushed out from Deeprock. Presumably, the terrifying monster should be referring to him.
Deathwing should still be recovering in Deeprock now, which is in line with this prophecy.
As for the last sentence——
[The doomsday storm is coming, and the old world has fallen. 】
Murphy was a little unsure what this disaster referred to.
In the history of World of Warcraft, the expansion pack after Cataclysm is Mists of Pandaria. It can't be that the Pandaren will destroy the world.
Moreover, the history of the game has undergone tremendous changes, so the original history cannot be used as a reference.
Wait a minute! Doomsday storm? Murphy suddenly had a feeling - this doomsday storm couldn't be him.
That shouldn't be the case. I am a hero. At least for now, I have no plans to turn evil and destroy the world. It's just talk to attract believers. Don't take it seriously.
Besides, how could the prophecies in the game possibly happen to the players?
And my goal is to become a dragon god. If the prophecy comes true, combined with my current game progress.
Or is this Doomsday Storm really referring to 'Storm of Doom' Lysajess? It will release the other three calamity dragons and launch the fourth disaster after the Earth Sundering.
Therefore, the order of the four disasters is most likely to be: 1. The coming of the Scourge, 2. The coming of the Burning Legion, 3. Deathwing starts the Cataclysm, and 4. 'Storm of Doom' Lysajess intends to destroy the world in some way.
And the Dragon God awakens - will he become the Dragon God himself and save the world?
Murphy suddenly felt that he was chosen by fate to be the savior.
However, he still couldn't be completely sure, because he felt that this guy, 'Storm of Doom' Lesajes, was not qualified to be the initiator of the fourth and most terrible disaster in terms of his style and strength.
At least it has to be a being on the level of the Ancient Gods or the Dark Titan.
It seems that the answer to this question can only be found when the time comes.
No matter what, let’s eat first. If you want to create a new world, you must first become an ancient dragon.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "I understand. Let's begin the dragon feast."
Murphy said, changing back into human form and slowly walking to the altar.
He tried his best not to stare at the dragon statue behind the altar, but he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, wondering whether this thing was really ancient.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological reason, but I always feel that the statue has become inexplicably weird.
It was not until he placed the dragon heart on the altar and heard the familiar roar all around him that Murphy gathered his thoughts, straightened his attitude, and prepared to eat.
Hey--hoo--ha! Ho--hoo--ha!
Ah—ah—ah—ah—ah—ah!
The singing was majestic and sacred, as if many voices were singing together, yet it was vague, as if it was just an echo in the wind. He could recognize the meaning of the singing. It was a hymn sung in the ancient dragon language, praising the Dragon Feast and those who pursued the power of the dragon.
The dragon feaster, the dragon feaster, feast on flesh and blood, devour the dragon!
Those who feast on the dragon, those who feast on the dragon, seize the power and forge the dragon soul!
Hmm? Ancient dragon language? Yes, why didn't I think of it before? Since the song is in the ancient dragon language, then the one who created the Dragon Feast Ceremony must be an ancient dragon, or a being related to the ancient dragon.
It is absolutely impossible that, as the court scholar Ogad said, it was a ritual created by Emperor Thoradin and the dragon slayers of the tribal era who accidentally discovered a way to gain power when they devoured dragon hearts.
There must be a dragon secretly guiding them, directing them, wanting them to become ancient dragons and dragon gods.
I just don't know why it failed in the end.
Now it's my turn.
Yes, there must be such a thing!
An ancient dragon/proto-dragon who wanted to resurrect the Dragon God, so he carried out such a plan.
However, in this case, the other party should not be an ancient dragon. After all, the next stage of an ancient dragon is to become a dragon god. If this mysterious man is an ancient dragon, there is no need for the other party to give such a good opportunity to a mortal dragon eater. He can just continue to devour the advanced dragon god.
In that case, the statue should just be a statue and should not be an ancient dragon. Murphy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the statue again. I don't know if it was a psychological factor, but the stone dragon statue suddenly lost its previous weird feeling.
Mysterious Voice: 'Ah, Myrgos, so it is. You have chosen a suitable opponent.
Milgos is not a very powerful ancient dragon and has little presence among the ancient dragons.
But an ancient dragon is an ancient dragon. Even an unknown creature like Milgos still has the original power of the ancient dragons in its body. So devour it, complete the dragon feast, and turn the essence of this unknown creature into food for you to become an ancient dragon."
Murphy devoured the dragon's heart in big mouthfuls. As the flesh and blood went down his throat, a layer of blue mist gradually enveloped his vision.
The shadow of a ferocious blue dragon appeared before Murphy's eyes.
Milgos stared at him intently, and seemed to be trying to use magic, but ultimately he did not do anything.
Soul of Milgos: "So that's how it is. You are not Lysajes, a Dragon Feaster... I should have known that your race would have perished thousands of years ago. Why! Why are you performing Dragon Feast again?"
Aidan (Dragon Eater): "To revive the Dragon God, of course. As the prophecy states, the Dragon God will return - and I will save the world from the storm of doom."
Soul of Milgos: "But the prophecy never said that the Dragon God would save the world.
[When everything is destroyed, the day when the Dragon God returns, the thread of the world's fate will no longer be visible. ]
The thread of fate has disappeared, what does that mean? Do you really understand the meaning, mortal? According to Lord Malygos and his men's deduction, the return of the Dragon God is likely to mean the complete disappearance of the world, so the Dragon God must not be resurrected! "
Murphy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "You'll know when the time comes, but unfortunately, you probably won't be able to see it."
He punched out, and Milgos' soul shattered instantly, turning into blue light spots all over the sky and sinking into Murphy's body.
