35: Section 35

However...

The Bronze Dragons' talent in the domain of time is seriously freaking OP!

While reclaiming her own timeline, she could simultaneously obscure the traces of her existence!

Didn't you hear Selesine?

Memories are traces left by time.

So...

It's understandable that a Bronze Dragon could use time magic as a springboard to interfere with memories... My ass!

Explain to me then, why can I remember those memories again!

“I'm not lying to you!” Selesine raised an index finger and explained patiently, “The me in front of you comes from the Year 33 of the Dark Portal timeline!”

“The me of the current timeline is currently following my King to sort out the timeways.”

Very well.

Nozdormu's shadow was indeed behind this.

Su Ming didn't understand why Selesine was saying all this.

“Oh, you're so stupid!” Selesine snorted with dissatisfaction. “Simply put, it was precisely because of this sorting of the timeways that my King discovered your existence!”

“I get it! Your target from the very beginning was me!”

Su Ming felt a bit numb.

A world with Time Wardens is a real pain in the neck!

It's too unfriendly to transmigrators. Who could stand being cornered by a big shot right after landing!

The question is...

“Why didn't you just explain the situation directly?”

Selesine rolled her eyes and said crossly:

“Ask yourself, young man! This old lady used time magic, with my King's help, to observe tens of thousands of future possibilities!”

“Never mind me actively revealing my identity; if I were even slightly less cautious and let you know the truth too early...”

“Believe me, you would have vanished instantly!”

Su Ming understood even less now.

According to the Bronze Dragons' philosophy, shouldn't someone like him—who could easily disturb the progression of the timeline—be completely eliminated?

Ge Men has already taken the initiative to flee back to the main world, what more do you want?

Unexpectedly...

Selesine spread her hands helplessly:

“The premise is that you would actually vanish... but the fact is, in over ninety percent of the possibilities, you always return at some critical future juncture.”

“...And you usually bring along a large group of angels who are incredibly fierce at hacking people to pieces!”

Ah, this...

Su Ming felt a bit awkward.

Being cornered by a Bronze Dragon in his first dungeon, with his personality, he would definitely have noted it down in his little grudge book.

Seeking revenge in the future was indeed a high-probability event.

With an awkward smile, Su Ming tried to salvage the situation:

“...Is that really how it is?”

“Nonsense! By order of my King, my mission is to see you off from our world, safe and sound!”

“Then our trade...”

“That was also part of the plan. By the way, the trade with you was my King's idea. I won't lie to you, your Creations are miraculous! Even the most ordinary wood, after a little processing by you, can resist the erosion of time magic. It's the best material for us to build our nests.”

No wonder!

He wondered why Selesine wanted everything, not even letting wood and rocks go.

However, since things had been said so clearly...

Su Ming didn't dwell on it and waved his hand to take out a large amount of materials.

“Come, Selesine, it's time to begin our final trade.”

Chapter 40: Nozdormu's Sincerity

Selesine left; she was going back to the Caverns of Time to meet the Nozdormu of this era.

Before leaving.

Selesine also said.

By tomorrow afternoon, she would also leave this era.

And through time magic, she would erase the traces of her having traveled through the timeline.

By then, the world of Azeroth would return to its proper course.

No one would remember that the jewelry store in Goldshire had once employed a High Elf noble consultant.

Of course.

No matter how exquisite the Bronze Dragon's time magic was...

It could not affect Su Ming, who had already returned to the main world.

He had also asked.

What impact Selesine's tightrope-walking layout could have on the future.

The answer gave Su Ming a strange feeling of being stifled.

“Azeroth will only exist as the starting point in your life; that is the greatest impact!”

The subtext: Thank the heavens if you don't come back to mess with Azeroth again!

Seriously, how heartbreaking!

How could Ge Men be that terrifying?

However...

Taking stock of the countless good things in his backpack.

A suspicious liquid dripped from the corner of Su Ming's mouth.

To sever the despicable outsider's covetousness for the world of Azeroth, Selesine—or rather, the Bronze Dragon King—had paid a heavy price!

Sand from within the Caverns of Time, imbued with the concept of time!

The dragon horns shed by the Bronze Dragon King, Nozdormu, in his youth!

Branches of the World Tree, Amirdrassil, hand-picked by the Green Dragon Queen, Ysera!

Seven dragon scales lost by the Red Dragon Queen, Alexstrasza, during the previous Orc War!

A large amount of dragon blood spilled by the Blue Dragon King, Malygos, during the War of the Ancients!

There were even ley line crystals condensed by the Black Dragon King, Neltharion, before his fall!

Without exception, the aforementioned materials were closely related to the Five-Colored Dragon Kings.

He hadn't seen any of the real Five-Colored Dragon Kings.

But he could guess that each of these five big shots possessed at least high-level Legendary combat power. At their peak, they could probably hold their own for a while even when fighting against a god-ascendant with weak divine power!

In all seriousness.

With these materials, Su Ming really didn't have much expectation for the world of Azeroth anymore.

An L7 Collection Skill could already separate matter and harvest elemental substances in a predatory manner!

But what if it reached the max level of L9?

Could he extract the transcendent essence of the Five-Colored Dragon Kings from the aforementioned materials?

Those were the transcendent concepts of Time, Dreams, Life, Magic, and the Earth!

Any one of these could potentially support a Great Deity! Never mind interfering with the multiverse or being supreme within the universe; becoming a star system overlord shouldn't be difficult.

It's just...

Nozdormu was still too considerate.

Fearing that Su Ming might still have lingering feelings for Azeroth, he simply used Selesine's hand to package the transcendent systems accumulated by the world of Azeroth for tens of thousands of years and gave them to Su Ming.

It was a flower of time that contained information on ten classes: Warrior, Hunter, Paladin, Shaman, Mage, Rogue, Warlock, Druid, Monk, and Demon Hunter!

Inside...

With the great power of time, various images of these class practitioners from different time periods and different sentient lives were imprinted—their training, fighting, living, and researching!

One could say this.

As long as one's comprehension was up to par and the environment allowed...

With this flower of time, replicating a transcendent civilization similar to the world of Azeroth would not be difficult!

As for what Su Ming paid?

It was nothing more than a pile of materials gathered through Gathering!

In terms of value alone, Nozdormu, who orchestrated all this behind the scenes, took a massive loss!

But at the same time.

Since the trade was concluded.

That proved Su Ming had agreed to the Bronze Dragon's implicit condition!

Which was: he must not descend upon Azeroth again in the future!

...

On the sky route to Tanaris, Selesine—or rather, Saphir—quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her perception, that squatter who hid a great terror had finally disappeared.

From the distant ancient times to the current time node, and then to the predictable future timelines, that god-like and demon-like conceptual phantom had finally left this world along with the disappearance of [Su Ming]!

“Waaaah, it's so hard... how can there be such an outrageous human?”

Whenever she thought of certain time fragments revealing future images, Saphir couldn't help but feel a pang of chest pain.

The Ancient Evil God were uprooted!

The Burning Legion was cornered in the Twisting Nether like pigs!

The river of time was modified and split apart!

The Moon of Elune was modified into a Death Star fortress!

The Void Lords were twisted into Cybertronian Giants!

Even the World-Creating Titans could not escape the fate of being forced to participate in the construction of the Wisdom Star Wall!

That kind of future... please, no!

Azeroth is still so young; how could it withstand such a future?

Therefore, the Bronze Dragon King had to take up the mission in the face of danger, leading the entire family to sort out countless timelines, and only then did they finally find the only way to survive!

But...

Saphir, who was about to return to the Caverns of Time, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a hair-raising possibility!

What if...

I mean, what if!

What if those appalling futures were specifically intended for them to see?

A big shot who could toss Azeroth around until it was unrecognizable.
