After a period of self-research, Sarlayan roughly figured out the path to advancement for demigods.
In a word, if you can clearly understand your own unique power, and perfectly control and use it, you will be the last step to the sublimation of your soul before you can break through and become a true god.
The reason why demigods are called false gods by Sarlayan and Danmaku is because their souls have not yet reached the standard of "gods". To put it harshly, they are half-hearted.
According to the analysis of Sarlayan and Danmu, every new demigod needs to first determine the direction in which to move forward and figure out what kind of power he needs...or what kind of power is most suitable for him.
For example, the bronze dragon's time power, the red dragon's life power, the green dragon's dream power, etc.
Strictly speaking, the five guardian dragons, like the entire dragon clan, are typical examples of overthrowing others.
Like the Dragon King, the ancestor of the four elements, they possess powerful talents given by the Azeroth Star Soul from birth.
If they continue to grow step by step, the five dragon kings will sooner or later realize their potential and grow into semi-god-level ancestral dragons.
But while the sound was growing, they suddenly received help from Tyr, the guardian of order.
After a bloody battle, the five dragon kings assisted Tyr in defeating the powerful ancestral dragon emperor Galakrond.
As a reward, Tyr persuaded his colleagues to contact the Titans in the Pantheon, and through the Titan Guardians in Azeroth as a signal transmission tower, the Titans remotely granted blessings to the five dragon kings.
This blessing changed the life forms of the five dragon kings and their tribes. It artificially gave the five dragon kings five different powers to protect Azeroth, but it also annihilated their original talents and potential to a certain extent.
If nothing unexpected happens, the five guardian dragons should be like the wilderness demigods whose souls are bound to the Azeroth star soul, unable to break through and become the true god-level elders in the universe.
Different from the five Aspect Dragons who were encouraged by their efforts, the wild demigods of Azeroth used another method of trickery.
They bound their souls to the star soul of Azeroth to gain the opportunity to go to Ardenweald in the Shadow Realm to resurrect after death.
As long as Azeroth still exists and there are no problems in the Shadow Realm, theoretically the Wild Demigod is immortal and can spend time to resurrect after death.
What? Ursoc in original history?
It can only be considered that he was unlucky. He happened to encounter an anima exhaustion event that had never happened before in the Shadow Realm, and sent him a complete message.
This method of binding one's soul to the star soul is not unique to Azeroth. The Burning Legion also does this.
The only difference is that they are bound to the star soul of Argus...or Titan.
Since the star soul of Azeroth has not yet matured, the wilderness demigod bound to Azeroth can only exert its full combat effectiveness at home. Once it leaves Azeroth, its strength will be greatly reduced, and it will also lose its post-death reading.
The ability to resurrect.
To put it simply, Azeroth, which is still in its egg-laying state, can only protect a small part of the volume near its eggshell, and cannot spread its power throughout the universe like the mature Argus.
This method of binding the soul to the star soul has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the soul will be immortal if the planet exists, but the disadvantage is that it will affect the progress of the demigods in understanding the rules.
According to Sarlayan and Danmaku's speculation, no matter what power the demigods choose, if they want to gain the best understanding, they still have to obtain important inspiration during a life-and-death fight.
However, the Wilderness Demigod knew in advance that he would never die. During the battle, he would unconsciously lack enough reverence for life and death, and would not be able to gain the most complete understanding.
From Sharlayan's perspective, it is understandable that the wilderness demigods would make this choice.
After all, demigods are not cabbages. They can grow a lot of them casually.
Moreover, Sarlayan boldly guessed that these wilderness spirits in Azeroth who were enlightened by Freya, the guardian of life, should also be another form of subverting others.
In other words, they have long known their upper limit and clearly realized that they could not be promoted to true gods, so they simply chose the method with the highest survival rate.
Anyway, we can't break through that barrier, so we'll be done with it.
"Um……"
After listening to Sharlayan's analysis, Valeera touched her chin thoughtfully: "Looking at it this way, in order for Azeroth to quickly form combat capabilities against many threats, including the Dark Empire, the Titans really
He has done a lot of things to encourage growth."
"It is true that their preparations have greatly enhanced Azeroth's immediate combat power in the era of disorder, but at the same time they have overdrawn the potential of Azeroth's creatures. Between a drink and a peck... I can't say
.”
Sharlayan shook his head and said: "We have not witnessed the dangers of Azeroth's wild days with our own eyes, and we cannot personally feel the pressure faced by the Titans and Titan Guardians at that time."
"Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered."
"Perhaps under the background of the times, the Titans had no choice but to make a choice."
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's get back to the business."
Sharlayan raised his hand and pointed at his forehead: "Like Azshara, I have not bound my soul to the Azeroth star soul."
"This means that once I die, I will not be able to resurrect like the Wild Demigod. However, at the same time, I can also gain power awareness progress in battle that is far superior to the Wild Demigod. There are pros and cons."
Valeera laughed and shook her head: "For mortals, everyone has only one life. We have long been accustomed to this feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife."
"At least personally, I don't want to change and I won't change."
Valeera said firmly: "Compared to soul-binding to the Azeroth Star Soul and gaining immortality, I hope to have a faster growth rate so that I can keep up with your progress."
Sharlayan was not surprised by Valeela's answer. He believed that Stellagosa, who was far away in the Demonic Nexus receiving guidance from her elders, would also choose the same way.
"Well said, but..."
Sarlayan lowered his head and said in deep thought: "I'm very curious about the situation of second-generation dragons like Oni and Chromie."
"Their souls are not bound to the Azeroth Star Soul, but during the coming-of-age ceremony, Oni, Chromie and others also received the benefits and side effects of the Titan's blessing on the Dragon Clan. I don't know if this will be an overdraft."
their potential."
"On that note...unfortunately, you are right to be concerned."
Onyxia's voice suddenly came from outside the door. The black dragon princess, who was supposed to be having fun in the city, returned home at some point and happened to hear the discussion between Sarlayan and Valeela in the quiet room.
After opening the door to the quiet room, Onyxia, smelling of alcohol, staggered in, ignored Valeera's disgusted look and sat down next to Sarlayan.
"Hiccup~"
After burping the remaining alcohol out of her body, Onyxia's originally hazy eyes soon became clear again.
After dispersing the alcohol, Onyxia still had no intention of moving away. She leaned softly against Sarlayan and said lazily with half-squinted eyes as dark as the night sky: "More than 3,000 years ago, I discovered
I figured out the problem, and I believe that Chromie’s guy should be the same.”
Although she still looked like she was sitting upright, Onyxia's tone was very serious at this time.
"It's not just Chromie and I. After returning to Wyrmrest Temple, I also asked Karen, Melinthra, Arygos and Anachronos and other second-generation dragons about this matter. Their answers were almost the same as mine.
exactly the same."
"For the convenience of description, let me use the data template used by Sarlayan as an example."
"When we, the second generation dragons, reach the small bottleneck of level 65, the road ahead will become increasingly difficult."
"If we can't break through the 'curse' imposed on us by Titan's Blessing, we will only reach level 66 where the Dragon Kings are now at most in this lifetime, and it will be difficult to make any progress."
"Is this so..."
Sarlayan asked with twinkling eyes: "What do you mean...the Dragon Kings have been stuck at level 66 for many years?"
"Yes."
Onyxia said seriously: "Since I can remember, except for Deathwing who betrayed the dragon clan and had other adventures, the four dragon kings have always been as strong as they are now and have never improved. Instead, because of the dragon soul,
Decline in strength over a long period of time.”
"this……"
Sarlayan and Valeera looked at each other, and both of them frowned in unison.
"I finally understand why Deathwing chose to take refuge in En'zoth when faced with the threat of the Elemental Dragon."
Sarlayan said solemnly: "The Dragon King, the ancestor of the elements who has not received the blessing of the Titans, can theoretically go further, although this progress is destined to be very slow."
"And Deathwing... without the power of shadow instilled by Enzos, his upper limit would have reached this point. Sooner or later, he would be surpassed by the Dragon Kings, the ancestors of the elements. This is not possible for the arrogant Deathwing.
