Chapter 661: Shocking Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Flying in the sky above Pandaria, Roy saw the miserable scenes here.

Objects falling from the sky had destroyed countless mountains, and these so-called objects falling from the sky were pieces of meat weighing billions of tons. They were the pieces of the body of the Old God Y’Shaarj, whom Aman’Thul, the Highfather of the Pantheon, had personally killed. At the moment of death, Y’Shaarj’s body had been torn into thousands of fragments of various sizes. When these fragments fell from the sky, they carried unimaginable weight and power, causing immense disasters on the land of southern Kalimdor. They had smashed mountains, filled lakes, contaminated forests, and created numerous earthquake-like phenomena.

The falling range of these body fragments covered almost all of Pandaria, especially Y’Shaarj’s head. Before falling to the ground, it turned all the energy into an exhalation of resentment and sprayed it out, forming extremely baleful auras that were difficult to see with the naked eye. Then they began to spread throughout Pandaria.

Just as Roy had imagined, the node after his time jump happened to be not long after the Old Gods had been imprisoned. It had only been a few decades at most. Even the fragments of the dead Y’Shaarj were quite fresh.

This historical event was known as the ‘Fall of the Black Empire’ in the history of Azeroth. It referred to the massive war between the titan-forged created by the titans of the Pantheon and the Old Gods and the elementals they controlled. This vast war affected all of Azeroth. Finally, Aman’Thul killed Y’Shaarj, imprisoned the other Old Gods, and isolated the Elemental Lords.

After realizing this, Roy was a little depressed. The Black Empire had just fallen, and the war had just ended. He didn’t know why the time flux had brought him here.

The history of this war was too long ago, and it predated the fall of Sargeras, so there were only vague records in the history books of Azeroth in the future. As for what Roy had done at this node, it wasn’t mentioned at all, so he was completely clueless about what he had been sent here to participate in.

However, Roy didn’t worry too much about it. Since he didn’t know what he had done, he might as well act on his own will.

In the past, Roy had observed most Old Gods in outer space. Now that he had landed on the surface of a planet and observed the body of an Old God at close range, he found that they were even more terrifying than he had imagined. Any slightly larger fragment of Y’Shaarj’s body was like a giant mountain. The height of Mount Everest in Roy’s memory wasn’t worth mentioning here at all, and fragments that were ten to twenty kilometers high were everywhere.

From these fragments, it was easy to imagine how massive Y’Shaarj had once been. It was said that it was the strongest one among the Old Gods who had descended onto Azeroth. But those who stood out were usually the first to suffer. It was precisely because of its strength that Aman’Thul chose it as his target. f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

But what was worth mentioning was that, although Y’Shaarj was the strongest among the Old Gods here, it wasn’t an adult Old God. In fact, the corrosion of the Old Gods on Azeroth could only be regarded as a superficial beginning. If they could devour the Azeroth world-soul and become adults, then when they fought the titans, it was unknown who would have killed whom…

This was the terrifying aspect about Old Gods. After they became adults, they were existences that could easily contend against the titans of the Pantheon.

Fortunately, the titans realized this and decisively stopped the Old Gods from continuing to grow. After they were imprisoned, their corrosion of Azeroth had to stop.

However, the Old Gods had their own mission, so how could they be willing to be imprisoned? So as soon as the titans left, they began to discuss how to escape from prison. Now, there were only three Old Gods left on Azeroth. Yogg-Saron and N’Zoth were actively plotting to escape, so they were communicating through the Void. As for C’Thun, it was really lazy. Not only did it not participate in the communication, but it even slept for many years after the titans left.

Due to Roy’s sudden appearance, Yogg-Saron and N’Zoth felt that perhaps they had one more external help. This was determined by Roy’s demon identity. In their opinion, demons and titans were also natural enemies. So in order to get Roy to help them, the two Old Gods didn’t hesitate to use their few remaining connections with the outside world to communicate with the power of the dead Y’Shaarj. At great cost, they forcefully opened a Void rift in the place of Y’Shaarj’s death on Azeroth and connected it to where Roy was in the Void, thereby bypassing the defense mechanism of the planet’s shield.

After Yogg-Saron and N’Zoth opened this rift, even though their connection with the outside world had been completely severed, they were not worried. In their opinion, the Void power they had given to Demon Osiris was enough to transform him into a powerful Void demon. When such a Void demon descended upon Azeroth, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. At that time, in order to suppress Osiris, the watchers of the titans, who acted as guardians, would definitely take action. Then, Yogg-Saron and N’Zoth might have a chance.

In short, victory in chaos.

The Old Gods had thought of this, and Roy had also guessed it. But unlike what the two Old Gods thought, Roy felt that it was impossible for them to escape in the chaos. This thought was underestimating the prisons created by the titans too much.

Unless Roy really went to attack the prisons of the Old Gods, but was that possible? Impossible!

Roy’s flying speed was very fast. In a short time, he had basically explored the entire area of Pandaria. But what disappointed him was that he couldn’t see any pandarens. At this moment, the pandaren race had yet to be born. In this area of Pandaria, the most common species he could see were the aesir and vanir races created by the titans. These two races had been created by the titans to deal with the war with the Black Empire. The aesir were made of metal and wielded the power to command storms. The vanir were made of rock, and the earth was under their command. These two titan-forged could be regarded as giant races. Most of them were tall and had similar appearances to the titans, but because they had souls and wills, they could not be regarded as puppets and machines.

The armies of aesir and vanir were now active in Pandaria and in charge of cleaning up the scattered body fragments of Y’Shaarj. After all, if these Old God fragments were left to contaminate, this place would eventually become a dead land. Under Roy’s observation, the aesir and vanir used all kinds of methods to excavate and crush the large corpse fragments of Y’Shaarj. After making them small, they burned and destroyed them. This cleaning work would probably take hundreds of years to complete. During this process, a large number of aesir and vanir went crazy because of the residual mental influence of Y’Shaarj.

They were focused on their work and didn’t notice Roy in the sky. After observing them for a while, Roy quickly left and flew toward the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in his memory.

If he did not remember wrongly, the dead Y’Shaarj had left behind an enormous heart, and the titanic watchers had finally buried this heart under the Vale of Eternal Blossoms for future research. Although Roy didn’t know if this heart had already been buried, he realized that he might be able to discover something from Y’Shaarj’s heart.

Yes, although he had witnessed the appearance of the Void Lord with Sargeras and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Void World, Roy’s understanding of the Void Lord was still too little. And he happened to have an Old God like Y’Shaarj, who had just died not long ago. The connection between it and the Void Lord might be able to give Roy some answers.

Roy was relatively lucky. When he came to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, he easily found the location of the Y’Shaarj’s heart because many aesir and vanir were working together to build a shelter to place the heart inside.

The moment Roy suddenly descended from the sky, it immediately caused great chaos. It was naturally impossible for the aesir and vanir to have a good attitude toward the demon Roy. They picked up their weapons and began besieging him.

Fortunately, there were not many aesir and vanir here. Roy spent some time killing these titanic servants and finally came into contact with the Heart of Y’Shaarj.

At this moment, the Heart of Y’Shaarj was sealed in a huge box. Although this incomparably ugly heart had stopped beating, it was still permeating with dense malice. It was a mental contamination full of all kinds of negative emotions—anger, hatred, violence, fear, doubt, despair, and pride. Such mental contamination was effective on any life with souls and consciousness. Even though it was isolated in a box made by the titans, it couldn’t completely eliminate this mental contamination.

However, this kind of mental contamination was not a big deal for Roy. Demons were experts at manipulating negative emotions.

Roy stretched out his hand, broke open the box with his demon claws, and pierced them directly into the Heart of Y’Shaarj. As he had expected, after coming into contact with the heart, all kinds of illusions immediately began to attack him.

But Roy didn’t move and allowed these illusions to unfold in front of him. At the same time, he tried to communicate with Y’Shaarj’s remaining will with his ability to control souls.

Y’Shaarj’s remaining will was already very weak, so it was naturally impossible for it to speak to Roy. Roy could only dig deeper into the thoughts of the remnant will bit by bit to find some memories he wanted to see, some memories of the Void…

This step consumed a lot of Roy’s time. Y’Shaarj’s remaining will and memories were so chaotic and fragmented that there was no logic to speak of at all. Roy could only slowly sort them out.

As time passed, Roy’s expression became uglier and uglier. Through the combination of various memory fragments, he confirmed some of his guesses.

Just as he had expected, there was really more than one Void Lord in the Void…

What surprised him even more was that the five Old Gods that appeared on Azeroth came from completely different sources. In other words, there were at least five Void Lords in the Void World…
