Nozdormu stood under the starry sky, raising his proud head slightly. He was looking at the bright white lady, hoping to get some enlightenment from Elune.
Unfortunately, as the Aspect Dragon, his power comes from the Titan Guardian, which makes it difficult for him to get a response from the true god of Azeroth.
"Ding~, the Aspect Dragon Nozdormu responded to the call of the wonders of Stonehenge, and has a certain chance of creating a religion belonging to the leader!"
Li De received a tip from Eureka, but this unnecessary behavior was despised by Li De.
There is only one reason, Li De is not blind.
Although there is still one kilometer away from Stonehenge, everyone can clearly see the huge figure under the starry sky.
The 60-meter-long and 30-meter-tall dragon stands in Stonehenge, giving the feeling like a big bird squatting in its nest.
This metaphor is very vivid, but everyone is trying to get rid of this rude idea. Just because the posture of the dragon in front of them is so sacred?!
His body shape is smooth and just right, with no trace of lanky, dry or bloated body. The wings that cover the sky show his strength, and the pair of dragon horns on his head are majestic and domineering. More importantly, the scales all over his body have a metallic texture.
golden color!
This is Nozdormu, the Lord of Time and Dragon King of the Bronze Dragon Legion among the Dragon Aspects. He lives in the Cave of Time in a mountain col on the coast in the middle of the Tanaris Desert. It is said that he has not walked in the real world for thousands of years. Tonight
He suddenly arrived here.
Li De led people to the foot of Stonehenge.
"I have seen His Majesty Nozdormu, the Lord of Time, and the Tri-Tribe Alliance listens to your teachings."
Nozdormu nodded slightly and looked at everyone. His magnetic voice seemed to contain magic, and it had echoes even in the empty desert.
"Leed Victory... I have witnessed countless timelines, but I am only a little curious about you."
This saves trouble. Everyone present can hear Nozdormu's voice. There is no part of Li De's narration, which naturally saves a lot of doubts.
Facing this Bronze Dragon King who knew everything, Li De didn't have to hide anything. He didn't have the guts to play with time yet, so he asked with a hint of awe.
"Is it because I don't exist in other timelines?"
Nozdormu shook his head.
"You have not yet fully realized your relationship with the world...
Including you, the prince struggling with honor and disgrace, the banshee wandering between life and death, the slave waiting to be liberated, the mage in ethical dilemma, the king with two sides... your existence in the torrent of time is insignificant...
Holy light, shadow, arcane, evil energy, life, undead...their conflict with each other is the key to the timeline..."
Every time Nozdormu spoke a form of energy, six types of light clusters appeared in the sky: gold, black, blue, green, cyan, and white.
This symbolizes the six most basic energy bodies in the universe, rotating back and forth in the sky. Although everyone did not understand what it meant, they were deeply in awe of the powerful appearance.
"Restraint, wantonness, order, chaos, lushness, silence, the timeline is constantly playing out between them, but no matter what, you can make the world look..."
After hesitating for a long time, Nozdormu settled on a very similar adjective.
"Gorgeous."
"Gorgeous?"
Li De was also a little confused.
"That's right, no matter what choice it is... you seem to be able to actively embrace it with a suitable attitude... and ultimately create countless possibilities... I am very curious about you, what is it that you are pursuing?"
Nozdormu's question made Li De fall into deep thought:
'Yes, what exactly am I pursuing?'
This question really stumped Li De.
What he pursues is prosperity, strength and material abundance? Then why would he reject Cenarius? It makes no sense.
What he pursues is order and order in all things? Does he want to become a mage and use arcane magic to plan the world and weave a magic web? No.
What he pursues is that everyone is equal and strictly abides by justice? Holy Light is a good choice, but can everyone really have such a high moral integrity? It is unrealistic.
What he pursues is to liberate his nature and return to his true self? The most authentic nature of the universe is the shadow of the void. Should he be like the ancient gods and be nameless in the chaos? That's crazy.
What he pursues is a free world without oppression? The most unregulated thing is evil energy. It is indeed absolutely free, but it is also absolutely unfree. It seems that the Burning Legion is also free to kill, abuse, and exploit each other at will? Fake freedom.
What he pursues is peace and stability, no fighting with the world? If he accepts the souls of the dead and builds a world of the forgotten, it doesn't matter about birth, old age, illness and death, and forgets each other in the rivers and lakes. How clean is the white expanse? It's too deserted.
After some deep thought, Li De suddenly realized that none of them was what he desired!
This made him fall into deep confusion. When he entered a dead end, Li De scratched his head and started spinning around in circles.
Everyone looked at Li De with worry. Only then did they realize that Li De was so important. If Li De went crazy because of a question about this guardian dragon, which way should they go next?
?
Should the human race stay in the desert forever? Or return to the Eastern Kingdom mainland?
What should the trolls believe in? Is it possible that they should believe in the Crystal Scale Lizards that provide them with food?
The goblins who have lost their protector should consider taking refuge with a trade prince, but no one knows the greed of the trade prince better than them. In the future, Gadgetzan, which they built with their own hands, will gradually become the private property of a trade prince. Can they really accept it?
?
Everyone's eyes were like a basin of water poured on Li De's head. He stared at everyone's face, and then saw Gadgetzan in the distance.
Li De seemed to have found his direction. He squatted down and picked up a handful of sand with his hands.
This is sand. Tanaris is the barren desert in the world! In his previous world, the great desert was an absolute sea of death!
But in Azeroth, even in the barren desert, there are still huge insects that support the breeding industry of monitor lizards. It is not a problem to feed ten times the current population!
How rich is this?!
"boom!!!"
Just like the big explosion at the birth of the universe, a big explosion also occurred in Li De's mind. He stood up firmly. He felt that he could answer Nozdormu's question.
"I choose none of these!"
"oh?"
Nozdormu became interested. He was not surprised by Li De's answer. He wanted to hear why.
"The restraint of the Holy Light is very noble, but it also has negative rigidity; the wantonness of the Shadow is very perverse, but the curse of flesh and blood of the ancient god gives humanity to life, and learns honor and courage;
Arcana will bring neat order, but the ultimate order is cold-blooded and inhumane; evil energy seems to be the most chaotic and evil, but it is free and does not reject even the weakest races, and can still be used by me;
Life gives this world vitality, but if the world is full of life, which space should we ask for growth? Once life reaches its peak, cruel killing begins;
The undead will indeed bring a sense of silence, but even the forsaken ones, no matter how lonely they are, are crawling with squirming maggots. Who can guarantee that a wonderful life in the next reincarnation will not evolve in a piece of carrion?!"
"good!!!"
Nozdormu couldn't help but praise with relief. His long life had almost made him lose all emotions, but at this moment, there was also strong joy in his heart.
"But you still haven't told me, what are you pursuing?"
"civilization!"
Li De's tone was extremely firm.
"I choose civilization. These six energies are originally me among you, and you among me. I reject extreme thinking and allow them to coexist, spiraling endlessly!
Take my territory as an example. The human race values honor and high morale. I firmly support taking up arms to defend our hometown, but I will also spurn shameful aggression and hang every war criminal!
Trolls long for spiritual transcendence and devout faith, so I respect and protect their faith, but I will not allow worship of evil gods, human sacrifice, and feeding on intelligent life!
Goblins believe in social contracts and are keen on trade. I welcome it with both hands. Business can bring prosperity, but as long as I find anyone who dares to cheat and obtain wealth through unfair means, I will not hesitate to strike hard!
Labor, marriage, literature, art, commerce, religion and even war are all part of civilization!
Azeroth is the most beautiful world I have ever seen. Even Tanaris, which has the worst environment, will not give up the hope of survival!
I want freedom of thought, prosperity of all races, and ultimate liberation of productivity! This is my pursuit of civilization!"
Everyone present looked at Li De with burning eyes. This was the first time that Li De expressed his true feelings in public.
But Nozdormu remained calm and asked his last question.
"Are you so confident? The civilization you believe in will eventually perish. If the world is full of chaos and killing or complete silence, where should you go?"
Li De, who has been thoroughly enlightened, has no pressure on this issue.
"Full of chaos and killing... If there is such a bad world, let them kill it.
In the end, there will always be life pursuing more efficient killing, which requires the participation of logic. As long as there is logic, consciousness will eventually arise, and once there is consciousness, it will naturally seek higher levels of rationality.
Regardless of whether this process takes hundreds of millions of years, billions of years, billions of years or even longer, as long as there is reason to participate in the upward spiral, are we afraid that civilization will not be born?
Of course, there is also a worse possibility, which is to kill them all in the end, or the universe cannot stand it anymore and explode. This is the second possibility, a completely dead world..."
At this point, Li De spread his hands.
"If there is really complete silence, no civilization, no consciousness, then naturally there will be no you and me. What will the world be like at that time, and what does it have to do with us?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Nozdormu laughed heartily. He realized that he had not been so happy for a long time. Thinking of this, the Lord of Time actually felt a little sad.
"It would be great if Malygos was here. He should really listen to you..."
But soon the Bronze Dragon King got over his sorrow. He walked out of the Cave of Time where he had stayed for thousands of years, but he wanted to do business.
I saw Nozdormu opening his mouth, and a stream of energy essence of the Aspect Dragon spurted out. It scared everyone to death. Wouldn't even the scum be left after being sprayed by the dragon's breath?!
Unexpectedly, this energy fell on everyone. Not only did it not cause any harm, it was also warm and comforting.
Most of the energy poured into Li De's body. In an instant, Li De became like a little golden man, rising half a meter high out of thin air!
It wasn't until a minute later that the golden light on Li De dissipated and his feet fell back onto the sand.
Li De looked at Nozdormu with shock on his face. At this moment, the Aspect Dragon's face actually showed a trace of fatigue.
"This is my blessing to you. May you always maintain such a broad and tolerant heart, and may your civilization always be positive!"
