Li De's expression gradually became serious, and the atmosphere in the entire command room also became solid.
"Since ancient times, this world has encountered the arrival of outsiders many times. These outsiders have profoundly transformed the world, including us, who are also the products of the transformation of the world.
However, among so many advents, not many can be said to be good. On the contrary, there are many that bring disaster to the world.
Nowadays, a new great life has arrived. Although its name is Giant of Light, which sounds like a positive character, it is still an outsider to Azeroth after all.
Now your identity should not be made public, so please forgive me for being arrogant and arbitrarily launching a dialogue with cosmic civilization on behalf of Azeroth."
Hearing that Li De had raised the matter to such a high level, everyone held their breath for a moment.
They even had the illusion that they were not on the sofa in the command room at this time, but as if they were in the endless dark space, sitting among the stars in the sky.
Everyone shook their heads subconsciously, only to realize that they were indeed in the command room, and the lights in the room lengthened the shadows of Li De and Jack and reflected them on the ground.
Jack's expression turned calm at this time.
"I understand, if you have any questions, just ask."
What was unexpected was that Li De asked the most pointed question as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Who are you now? Jack or Giant? Put it this way, who does the soul in this body belong to?"
Everyone's expressions changed again and again, waiting for Jack's answer.
Jack's expression was particularly calm. He opened his hands and held them flat. Two souls appeared behind him, one was the image of Jack, and the other was the Giant of Light.
"The answer is both. The Giant of Light came to Azeroth in pursuit of the Ancient God. The brilliance that Jack showed when he rescued people greatly touched the Giant.
And because Azeroth has huge restrictions, giant bodies cannot come to this world on a regular basis, so I chose to give my life to Jack and become one with this young man."
Jack gives people a very strange feeling when he expresses these things. He neither tells it from the perspective of a giant nor explains it in terms of Jack's identity, as if he is the other person outside of the two.
"In other words, are you now both Jack and a Giant? Or are you neither Jack nor a Giant?"
Li De couldn't help but look at him sideways. Wouldn't his thinking be confused in this case?
Jack nodded and continued to add.
"When he is in the mortal state, Jack's soul is dominant, and when he is in the giant state, the giant's soul is dominant. However, as time goes by, this sense of distinction will disappear, and both of them will transform each other."
At this point, the question about Jack's identity was resolved, and Li De frankly told the other party that he wanted to know the purpose of asking clearly.
"Jack is the mortal who has the closest relationship with the giant, and his attitude towards Azeroth can be seen from his attitude towards Jack.
Fortunately, I can feel that the giant respects Jack's life, and for now we can continue to talk."
Jack couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
At this point, the atmosphere in the whole room finally relaxed a lot.
After that, Li De asked the next question.
"What kind of life are giants? And why do they pursue the ancient gods?"
Although the Old Gods are a great scourge to Azeroth, we cannot accept the Giants of Light without discernment.
The adage that the enemy of my enemy is my friend is not always true.
Jack then began to tell Li De the origin and history of the Giant of Light.
"At the beginning of the birth of the universe, it was just chaos. Later, this chaos was divided into light and darkness, and then the light side and the dark side were each divided into three."
Li De blurted out subconsciously.
"Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three."
Jack was stunned by this way of summarizing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
"Yes, that's it. Our race was born when the light side was about to separate into the original power of 'holy light'. It can even be said that our race was born at the same time as the holy light.
When we were born, we were not as powerful as we are now, and the appearance of everything in the universe was not as clear as it is now.
During countless years of exploration, our ancestors had differences with their 'brother' - the Naaru who was born in the Holy Light.
The Naaru believe in using holy light to purify the world and transform the races they think need to be transformed by infusing holy light.
Our ancestors believed that light is everywhere and that every race has a bright side. Instead of forcibly pouring holy light into other races, it is better to try to guide and awaken the light that belongs to it.
Almost at the same time, one of the greatest kings appeared in our race. His real name was Peak. Peak led us to create the Light of Hope and placed it on the Light of Hope Spark Tower.
This tower constantly releases the light of hope towards the universe. Anyone who shines under it can be guided out of the light in the heart, and as a result, we are stimulated to have infinite potential, and gradually become a person with infinite power.
race.
The giant clan with the Spark Tower was invincible under the leadership of Peake. At that time, we once thought that the entire universe could become peaceful with our efforts.
It wasn't until billions of years ago that we encountered the Old Gods and their shadow side in the universe.
It is a darkness we have never seen before, and we cannot feel the existence of any light from them. It is impossible to awaken the hopeless race.
In order to prevent the ancient gods from invading the world of light, a long war broke out between us.
After countless billions of years, we gradually realize the sad fact that we were probably born for each other.
The fate of the Giant of Light is to fight with the Ancient God, or even die together.
We were born to destroy. Such absurdity disillusioned all the sense of sacred mission we had established before. From that time on, fear, an emotion we had never had before, began to spread among my people.
It was Pik, who calmed our emotions and led us to kill countless ancient gods and severely damage the Lord of the Void in a great battle.
After that final battle, our clan gradually accepted our fate. More and more clan members left their homes and headed toward the more distant universe, pursuing the ancient gods who harmed the universe.
And our king left the Kingdom of Light and lived in seclusion on the King's Star to think for a long time and find a way to break his fate."
After a magnificent piece of history was told, everyone was shocked and speechless.
Li De was the first to come out of the shock. He was very concerned about one detail in the history told by Jack, and that was Naaru, the younger brother of the Giant of Light clan.
"What kind of race is the Naaru? Can you tell us about it?"
Jack closed his eyes gently, searching for those ancient memories in his mind. It probably took a few minutes before he opened his eyes.
"The Naaru are the first race to be born from the Holy Light after the Holy Light was completely differentiated and formed. I just organized the language and tried to accurately describe its essence in common language.
The way of the Holy Light practiced by Narusuo is different from ours. They require restraint and discipline, or it can be said that they are concrete morality. They require people: protection, justice, punishment, holiness and mercy."
At this moment, Anita suddenly interrupted Jack.
"Jack, wait! Isn't what you said just..."
Hearing Anita's question, Jack also showed a contradictory expression on his face. After all, he also has another identity - the Paladin of Lordaeron.
But no matter how conflicted his mood was, Jack still gave a clear answer.
"Yes, these are the ways of the Holy Light that we believe in. Azeroth's belief in the Holy Light comes from Naaru."
Anita's voice was already trembling a little at this time.
"This, this, this... Naru is equivalent to ours..."
Jack nodded.
"Yes, Naaru is the god of Azeroth's Holy Light."
Anita was completely speechless and looked at Jack blankly. It was only now that she finally intuitively realized what happened to Jack.
The god who gave Azeroth faith in the Holy Light is equivalent to Jack's younger brother?
Li De looked at the shocked faces in front of him and then said in an especially serious tone.
"Now you understand why I chose to keep it a secret after knowing it. If these secrets about Jack are leaked, something will happen to the world, and all countries in the alliance will be in danger of their faith collapsing."
Everyone swallowed nervously, and then Li De said with a smile.
"Of course, my ability to protect this secret is also based on your mutual commitment to keeping the secret. Although you did not consider this from the perspective of world security at the time, you unanimously kept the secret out of the protection of your partners.
Cherish this beautiful relationship, the friendship formed by experiencing life and death together in battle is the purest."
When he said this, Li De still had a somewhat lost expression on his face.
Anita asked curiously.
"Commander, have you ever had such feelings?"
The female priest was very curious about this commander who was also born in the Kingdom of Stormwind. It was said that he was born in the valley of North County, and his former residence was not far from the North County Monastery.
Li De does not hide his past.
"Of course, I was drafted into the army when I was a teenager. At that time, there were many comrades in the army who were about my age. We all had a deep friendship with each other. Later..."
At this point, Li De's expression froze and he couldn't say any more.
"What happened next?"
Anita asked.
"Later, they all died. Among the comrades who joined the army at the same time as me, there is only one person left. You should know him. His name is Windsor."
"ah!"
Anita exhaled softly, and she realized that General Windsor, whom King Varian relied heavily on, had such a connection with Reed.
Li De waved his hand and stopped mentioning these things, but looked at Buckromworth with some amusement.
"They're not surprised by me, but I'm surprised that you, Buck, kept the secret too. Have you forgotten that you are the heir of the Aspect Dragon?"
"Ah ha ha……"
Buck smiled awkwardly. If it hadn't been for Li De's reminder, he would have almost forgotten about it. Buck, who suddenly woke up, was also wondering what happened to him? Speaking of which, he has lived for many years, but why did he do it before?
A dozen centuries have not been as fulfilling as the past few years?
Looking at Buck's uncertain face, Li De could feel the mixed emotions in his heart, and said to him with a smile.
"There is nothing surprising about this. If you can have such thoughts, it means that the transformation has worked on you. The mortal world is very wonderful, with ups and downs, joys, sorrows and joys. You dragons have been aloof for too long, and your long life has not been
It makes you more intelligent, but it becomes your shackles.
I don’t know where I heard a sentence recently, but I think it makes sense, so I’ll share it with you now: Give time a civilization, not time to civilization; give time a life, not a life time.”
