10,000 years ago, when the last Pandaren Emperor Shao Hao succeeded to the throne, according to the tradition of the Pandaren Emperor, he went to the prophetic pool of the Jinyu people to pursue the fate of himself and the whole world, but in that divination, he saw not a peaceful future, but the whole world was shrouded in green evil energy, and the earth under his feet would completely collapse.

It would be a catastrophe that would spread throughout Azeroth, so on the first day after his succession, the Pandaren Emperor set out on a path to save the land and the people beneath his feet, and on the way, he became acquainted with the Emperor Cretik, who traveled all over Pandaria, and with the help of the mask that Kritik accidentally made, Shao Hao faded away his six negative emotions and became stronger.

But this increase in strength could not solve his troubles, and this wise panda man knew that no matter how strong his personal strength was, it would be useless in the face of the kind of disasters that spread all over the world, so he once again went to the Qinglong Temple in the Emerald Forest to find the wisdom from the Qinglong Yulong.

No one knew what he and Yulong had talked about, but in the midst of the explosion of the Well of Eternity, when the whole of Pandaria was swaying and about to be destroyed, the last emperor bravely stood up and left his body in Yongchuntai, the palace he once loved, and spread the power he had gained during his journey throughout Pandaria, and with the help of the four heavenly gods, he tore this continent from the whole continent.

He rose to the skies in the eyes of his people, and his soul turned into a thick fog that enveloped the continent and cut it off from the world of Azeroth, thus preventing it from being destroyed in the explosion and subsidence that spread across the world.

Since then, the Panda People have never had an emperor.

"Praise be to you, great ancient sage. ”

Dick stood in front of the misty Shao Hao, bowed deeply, this hero deserves his courtesy, and Shao Hao also accepted this etiquette calmly, now, his body is composed of a white-gray mist, the flowing fog very vividly outlines his wise appearance with a white beard, as well as the white robe he wears, and the black jade belt around his waist, a round of prayer flags floating behind him, making him look like an immortal.

In particular, those eyes, in the passage of time, still seem full of wisdom and compassion, this should be a generous elder.

"Kritik, this is what you call a hero?"

Shao Hao, who was floating in the air, turned his head to look at his old friend from 10,000 years ago, Kritik sat on the ground, tore open a jar of wine he brought, and nodded to Shao Hao,

"Yes, it's this idiot, his name is Dick, he's much braver than you, that heart of darkness, that's the heart of darkness that you don't even dare to touch, he took it out and prepared to take it away from Pandaria, by the way, he also killed Thor, you know, it's the guy you asked me to kill completely, old friend, you've been here for 10,000 years, I've been sealed for 10,000 years, hehe, we're even. ”

Shao Hao smiled, he looked at Dick with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes,

"I should have noticed you, after you went into the fog, but... There's so much going on in this land every day, but from your breath, I can feel that you've overcome your pride? It's unbelievable that you've done what I couldn't do. ”

"It's not worth the sacrifice you've made. ”

Dick sat down on a chair in the gilded pavilion and waved his hand absently, "Kritik has also helped me a lot, he asked me to save you from this shackle that has been too long, if you are ready, we can now begin to release the fog of Pandaria, and then, your soul will be free." ”

Kritik was also on the side to help,

"Yes, Shao Hao, you have done too much for us, the existence of Pandalia for 10,000 years is all your credit, take a good rest, we can travel around the world as before, these 10,000 years, the world has been very different, there are more happiness waiting for us." ”

In the face of his friend's eagerness, Shao Hao waved his hand, his face was calm and unhurried,

"It's been 10,000 years, and there's no need to rush it. ”

After speaking, the Pandaren Emperor turned his head to look at Dick, and his voice echoed in the pavilion,

"Young Dick, I can feel that you are tired and want to go home, which is good, but I also see confusion and hesitation in your eyes, this should not be in the presence of a hero who saved Pandaria, come on, tell me, maybe I, an old man from 10,000 years ago, can solve your troubles?"

The paladin paused for a moment, he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor was so sensitive to emotions, but thinking of Shao Hao, he had experienced the test of six emotions, and he was undoubtedly a truly powerful wise man, and his advice was simply not changed, so he just hesitated for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said,

"To tell you the truth, with the help of some powerful forces, I peeked into the future fate of this world, and what I saw made me feel hopeless, I did a lot, I thought I had changed a lot, but now it seems that the things I saw will still happen, and they will not change, which makes me wonder if I can really reverse the destined future. ”

Shao Hao listened to Dick's words, his body changed and rose, sitting cross-legged in the air, and the prayer flags behind him kept shaking, showing that the emperor was thinking, and after a while, he spoke,

"When I first succeeded to the throne, I also foresaw the future with the help of the Prophet of the Jinyu people, but in fact, the situation is the same for both of us, you know? When I saw that the allies of the Pandaren Empire, those arrogant upper elves, would attract demons to invade Kalimdor and even threaten the whole world, I was so angry that I even wanted to take the army to stop them. ”

Shao Hao closed his eyes slightly, he seemed to be feeling the wind of Yongchun Terrace, his long white beard fluttering in the wind,

"But in the end I didn't do that, because I knew that even if I passed, I couldn't change anything, and at that time, my thoughts were very simple, when we were faced with a choice in life, we had to think more about what we should do than expect others to help us, so I set out on the road of salvation in order to avoid that bad luck from befalling my people and my country. ”

"At that moment, I knew that for me, without a comfortable throne, my life would probably have to go through ups and downs, and that the glory that belonged to the emperor, the life that I longed for, would not be with me, because I had to set off at once, and I had to embark on an adventure to save Pandaria. ”

"You may not know that at the beginning of my journey, I had no more supporters than my people, and then I met Kritik, who was the first hero who offered to follow me on the road to salvation, we went through hardships, we fought against terrible opponents, and at the last moment, I looked back on the experience of the past ten years, and I realized..."

Shao Hao opened his eyes and looked at Dick, who also looked at him,

"Any road to salvation is difficult, there is no joy, there is only suffering, that is only success, not failure, that is carrying hope, but not allowing yourself to despair, that is the responsibility that I must bear, because I foresaw it, you are the same, I believe that you are the same as me, you will be at a loss, because you are afraid that everything you do is meaningless, I have also been confused, but I finally made a choice. ”

The words of the Panda Man Emperor hit Dick's heart word by word,

"Once you make a choice, you don't have to be at a loss anymore, and you only have two choices, give up, or move on. ”

"So, I would ask you, will you give up?"

Dick shook his head, and Shao Hao also smiled and nodded,

"Then why be confused? Change is never in the past or in the present, Dick, you have to understand that change happens in the future, do you think everything you do will change the future?"

Dick was silent.

Shao Hao stopped looking at him, and turned his head to look at Kritic,

"So, old friend, what about the wine you brought? I haven't smelled it for 10,000 years. ”

The Monkey King smiled and handed the wine jar in his hand to the misty Shao Hao, whose hand was weak in the air, and the wine jar floated in the air, and then a bowl floated up, and the jade-colored wine was poured into the bowl, and the wine was fragrant.

Shao Hao put the wine into his mouth, took a sip lightly, and laughed,

"Tell me what happened 10,000 years from now? I'd love to know. ”

But Kritik did not answer, and his tail flicked in the air,

"You'll have to see for yourself, I'm not going to reveal the mystery in advance. ”

"Look, that's you, Monkey King, you're so upset every time. ”

A pair of friends poured themselves a drink back and forth, leaving Dick sitting in a chair, thinking about the past and the future, until the sun went down, Dick suddenly came to his senses, beside him, all the jars were empty, and in front of him, a black bowl was placed, and there was a glass of amber wine.

"This is the last bowl of wine left for you. ”

There was already a hint of drunkenness in Kritik's eyes, and he grabbed his tail and bared his teeth at Dick,

"It's a thank you for what you're about to do, drink it, and set my friend free. ”

Shao Hao stood by the pavilion with his hands behind his back, he seemed to be looking at the scenery that he had seen for 10,000 years, and he seemed to be ready for another adventure.

Dick picked up the bowl of wine, his face was reflected in the amber wine, and there was no longer that hidden blankness in those eyes, in fact, he still didn't get rid of the last trace of hesitation in his heart, but as Shao Hao said, as long as the decision was made, the dazed was a burden.

He silently drank the fragrant monkey wine, felt the indescribable taste swirl in his stomach, he threw the wine bowl far away, wiped his mouth, and stood up,

"Come, let's set a hero free. ”

On the ocean beyond the mists of Pandaria, three fleets are moored in different locations, they are from the Stormwind Kingdom, Kurtilas, and... Pirate.

Yes, this is probably the first pirate in the world of Azeroth to dare to stand alongside the fleet of Kurtiras, their ships are all kinds of strange and strange, and there are all kinds of races on board, from sturdy minotaurs, to ferocious werewolves, to cunning goblins, to noisy gnomes, and even the rare haughty elves.

And on the largest black-painted ironclad ship, a pirate captain dressed like a human nobleman stood on the deck, staring at the fog in a lonely manner, with a delicate sword hanging from his waist, a symbol of his status.

Mr. Gibbs, the first mate, also dressed in a gorgeous red robe, stood behind Senxia, and unlike Senxia, he couldn't understand why the Dark Lord's fleet had to stay out of the fog for a week, and with the dangerous Kul Tiras.

But he didn't dare to ask, no one in this fleet dared to ask such a question, because the person who made the decision was Senxia, nothing more.

It seemed like an ordinary day, and as in the past week, nothing to be happy about, but at noon on this day, the silent fog that hung over the entire surface of the sea suddenly tumbled like a dragon stirring up the heavy mist, and like some kind of monster about to break out of the seal of the mist.

At this moment, the sky above the mist was covered with black clouds, thunder and lightning danced wildly, the sea breeze howled, and the entire sea surface changed from cloudless to like the end of the world in an instant.

"Hold on to the cables, fools, you'll be torn apart by the sea!"

Gibbs was running and shouting on the deck, his voice was covered by thunder and lightning, there were thousands of dragons roaring in the sky, he felt the shaking of the ships under his feet with the waves, the raindrops of beans falling from the sky, and the roar of thunder, this great pirate from the countryside of Gilneis, he felt that something big was about to happen.

But Mori Xia was still poking at the bow of the ship like a piece of wood, his eyes under his black hair were shining in the dark, and his cold lips moved slightly,

"Behold, I am truly witnessing history. ”

"The Age of the Mist... It's going to end!"
