613, the ancient gods
Light existed long before life was born, and even before the universe was formed...... And so it is with the void. Beyond the constraints of time and space, the ever-increasing form of light is like an infinite sea of colors, permeating all corners of existence. The torrent of life energy reciprocates in the abyss of the overlapping oceans, evoking a music of joy and hope along the way.
This never-ending ocean of light has never slowed down its surge. However, as it expanded, some of its energy dimmed and withered, and a cold nothingness arose in its wake. In these spaces, which are no longer touched by light, there is a new kind of energy that comes together - the void.
This dark, perpetually hungry force spontaneously seeks to cannibalize all energy, intending to distort everything in the universe for its enjoyment. The Void grew rapidly, and then spread wildly, fighting against the surging waves of light at every turn. The-for-tat confrontation between the two became more and more acute, and these two opposing but inseparable energies eventually provoked a series of destructive explosions, which shattered the original universe and gave birth to a new realm.
Since then, the physical universe has been born.
The energy released by the agitation of light and void raged in the nascent universe, and the primordial matter fused and swirled with each other, endlessly constructing the primordial world. For several epochs, the universe has continued to expand in the infinite darkness, scorched by the chaos of fire and magic for a long time.
And those turbulent energies converge into another spirit plane, the Warped Void. Light and the Void collided and escaped at the edge of the realm, causing the place to remain in turmoil for a long time. Although the Warped Void has a slight connection with the Infinite Darkness Limit, it remains outside the edge of the physical universe. Even so, the turbulent energy of the Warped Void would sometimes tear through the gaps of darkness, roaring into the plane of reality, distorting everything it touched.
The universe was born catastrophically, and it also caused fragments of light to spread throughout the plane of reality. These fragments sparked sparks of life from the matter of countless worlds, giving birth to a multitude of creatures full of graceful or crappy possibilities.
The most ubiquitous form of life is the elemental spirit, a primordial creature formed by the condensation of fire, water, earth, and wind. These creatures exist in almost all physical worlds, and most of them indulge in the chaos of the early universe.
There are also creatures formed by the accumulation of large fragments of light, possessing far greater power and potential.
Naru, these benevolent beings who shine with divine energy, is one of them.
When they look at the vast universe, the possibilities are endless. So they vowed to do everything in their power to spread hope and nourish life wherever they went.
And even more extraordinary than Naru is the huge Titan. Their spirits, the Star Souls, are formed in the depths of the fiery core of a few worlds. For long periods of time, these newborn Titans have been asleep, and their own energy permeates the celestial bodies in which they live.
And when the Titans finally awaken, they were like a living world. The wind howled over their massive bodies, the stardust draped over their bodies, and even their skin was covered with silver-white mountains and sparkling magical oceans.
With the eyes of the stars, they observed the universe and were fascinated by its mysteries. Compared to Naru, who set out to defend his life, the Titans chose a very different path. They travel to and from all corners of the darkness, searching for their fellow citizens.
And this grand and far-reaching journey will one day change the path of all existence in the universe and determine the fate of all living things.
However, in the Void, the Dark Spirits formed by the gathering of many Void energies in the Void are different from the aspirations of Naru and the Titans to the Zefu Universe, and their existence is to distort the reality plane into a boundless sea of suffering. And these beings are the Void Lords. They have long watched the Titans who travel between worlds and the pantheons they have built, jealous of their power, and want to corrupt one of the created Titans into an instrument to enforce their will.
To do this, they do everything in their power to manifest themselves in the physical universe. When they finally got their wish, their energy leaked into the plane of reality, distorting some of the unsuspecting inhabitants of the universe. However, for the noble and upright Titans, these covert corruptions are useless. Eventually, the Void Lords turned their influence to the Titans' most vulnerable period: before they awakened.
The Void Lords had no way of knowing where the Titans' souls were sleeping.
As a result, they gather their power and send dark creations throughout the physical universe in the hope of stumbling into the location of a star spirit. No one knows how many of the Void Lords have cast their creations into the Dark End, but they are simply blindly searching for the newborn Titans, polluting the mortal world and everything beyond. One day, these evil beings will become known as the gods of the ancients.
Although the Titans were aware of the existence of Void Energy in the universe, they had no way of knowing the Void Lord and the Elder Gods. The pantheon has long been overwhelmed by another, more immediate threat: the devil. These cruel creatures born from the twisted void are driven by violent hatred and malice, and all they want is the destruction of all life in the universe.
Just as there is no end to darkness, life is born in the warped void. The energies of light and void converge at the borders of the warped void, and the creatures that emerge from the realm of turmoil are demons. They act on their violent emotions, happy to see their power break through without regard to the outcome.
Most of these deformed beings indulge in the turbulent energy that pervades the Twisted Void, while others have mastered the means to harness the demonic power that destroys all things. Soon, these bloodthirsty demons reached out into the physical universe, sowing fear among mortal civilizations and destroying world after world.
Demons come in a variety of forms. The two-headed Void Dog, for example, will roam like a hungry beast among the barren wilderness of the twisted void. Giant Abyssal Demons and Hellfire, on the other hand, are brainless masses created by more powerful and intelligent demons that combine matter and evil energy.
As for these more powerful demons, one of them is Nasrezm, or the Dreadlord. They are cunning and adept at manipulating others, and devote themselves to the art of shadow magic. Nasrezm prefers to infiltrate mortal civilization, sowing turmoil and stirring up disputes between nations. And when these mortal groups are weakened and shattered, Nasrezm will corrupt their inhabitants, twisting these innocent lives into another creepy demon.
The mighty Anishran, or Abyssal Lord, took a more direct approach to conquering the worlds. These vast and friendless butchers were born to brutalize and torture the mortal race within their reach. The Abyss Lord often enslaves the lesser demons of the Twisted Void to serve as pawns against the mortal civilizations of the Infinite Darkness.
The flames of war that these demons had kindled in the far corners of the universe were soon discovered by the Pantheon. Fearing that their quest to awaken the Star Soul would inevitably be hindered by the actions of these demons, the Titans immediately dispatched their most powerful warrior, the great Sargeras. The fierce titan set out without hesitation, promising that there would be no rest until the demonic influence was purged from the universe.
However, while the Pantheon tirelessly searched for the sleeping Star Spirit, Sargeras, the main force for the destruction of demons, and his lieutenant Agrama continued their journey to hunt demons. The two warriors then came to a consensus that if they went their separate ways, they would be able to protect more of the world. After agreeing to call each other only when necessary, they set out on their own paths.
It was during this act that Sargeras discovered the true horror of the Void Lord's intentions.
He was first drawn to a remote corner of the Dark End, where a dark and withered world was filled with icy void energy. As such, Sargeras encounters creatures of unprecedented proportions, spreading across the world like devastation. These are the Elder Gods, who have implanted themselves deep into this world, enveloping them with Void Energy.
To his horror even more, Sargeras soon discovered that this was no ordinary world. He heard the sleeping star soul in the core, but it wasn't the happy dreams Sargeras had seen from other star soul places—it was all dark, dark, creepy nightmares. The tendrils of the Elder Gods have long since penetrated into the shadows, enveloping the souls of the Sleeping Titans into shadows.
Nasrezm also discovered the dark world. They spend their days and nights among the ancient gods, bathing in their dark energy. Sensing its evil, Sargeras then captured and tortured all of these Nasrezmu. The Shattering Demons are about to reveal what they know about the Elder Gods and the Void Lord's intentions - if the power of the Void succeeds in corrupting the nascent Titan, it will awaken into a dark creature of immense power, and the entire universe, and indeed the entire Pantheon, will be powerless to resist it.
At that time, the Twisted Titan will consume all matter and energy in the universe, so that everything in the entire infinite universe will be subjugated to the will of the Void Lord.
For the first time in his life, Sargeras, the undefeated of the Titans, tasted fear, and realized that the Void Lords were searching for the location of the Star Soul like a pantheon. And Sargeras never imagined that the Void Energy could erode the sleeping Titans so completely.
And now, the evidence is unmistakably in front of him.
Anger and bitterness burned in his soul. He slammed Nasrezm in front of him—and the demons were wiped out in an instant in his wrath. Sargeras then turned to the dark world, his heart aching in grief, for he knew that there was only one way to prevent the Dark Titans from awakening.
So, he struck out and destroyed the planet that had been corrupted. His actions also attracted the opposition of the Pantheon, and eventually Sargeras himself left, founded the Burning Legion, and began to search for corrupted planets throughout the universe, destroying all possible Corrupt Titans.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the universe, Agrama remains steadfast in his mission to eradicate demons. He fought back and forth between worlds, helping demon-infested civilizations out of the sea of suffering. Although the burden had now fallen on his shoulders, his resolve had not wavered. He was convinced from the bottom of his heart that Sargeras would one day return and endorse the Pantheon's correct views.
And it was during this long journey alone, that Agrama noticed a strange sign: the peaceful sleep of a sleeping star soul was surging throughout the universe. This song of life in turn led him to a world that the Pantheon had yet to discover, and which they would later name "Azeroth".
Nestled in the heart of the world is none other than one of Agrama's compatriots—far more powerful than anyone I've ever seen, so much so that Agrama can still feel its sleep even through the noise of the world.
However, as Agrama drew closer and was able to see Azeroth for himself, fear swept over him. The Void Energy is like a layer of corrupt flesh and blood, covering the outer layer of the entire world. And among the barren mountains and rivers stood the ancient gods and their dark empires. Miraculously, the soul of the newborn Titans has not yet been touched by corruption.
But Agrama knew that it was only a matter of time before it fell into the clutches of the Void.
Agrama immediately consulted with the Pantheon and informed them of what he had seen, and it was clear and unmistakable that Sargeras was right about the Void Lord and his plans. He urged the other Titans to act as soon as possible, or they would inevitably lose Azeroth forever.
Iona took Agrama's side first, trying to reach out to the other Titans and Azeroth. She told them that if Azeroth matured, the power of the new Titan would be beyond even Sargeras's reach. It would undoubtedly be the most formidable warrior among them, smashing the threat of the Void Lord once and for all—not to mention, the fragile Azeroth, who is now at risk, not only their countrymen, but also members of their families. The Pantheon must not sit idly by and watch their families fall into the hands of the Void Lord.
Iona's words finally touched the hearts of the Titans. They were unanimous in their decision to save Azeroth, even if they did everything they could.
Eventually, Asuman struck and destroyed the most powerful of Aschaji, but also inflicted irreparable scars on Azeroth. As a last resort, the Titans could only seal the remaining Old Gods. Cthun was only the weakest of them all, but thanks to this, its seal was the weakest. Now, it has broken out of the seal and stands in front of Du Teng, staring at Du Teng tightly with those thousands of eyes.
