However, to everyone's disappointment, this crow mount couldn't fly.
As such, the players who were looking forward to seeing the crow fly into the sky quickly left in disappointment. Only a few furry little girls surrounded the large crow and drooled with envy.
Lu Li held back tears of sympathy for the boyfriends of these little girls. He hoped that they wouldn't be pestered to death.
After the end of the three Auchinton Instance Dungeons, it wasn't that everyone didn't have an Instance Dungeon to do. The Caverns of Time on the old continent opened up two Instance Dungeons. One was the Old Hillsbrad Hills, and the other was the Dark Swamp. Both used a form of replay to allow players to participate in the storyline.
Lu Li had interacted with the former before. At first, it was a large-scale quest that involved a group of top adventurers.
Now, the game officials had turned the quest into an Instance Dungeon. Everyone could complete the storyline of saving Saar through the Instance Dungeon.
As for the Caverns of Time – Dark Swamp, it was another story.
The Caverns of Time – Old Hillsbrad Hills had already been taken down by The Capital of Glory three days ago. After all, many people were familiar with this Instance Dungeon. The key was to see who could clear it faster and spend money on it.
As for the Dark Swamp, because no one could open the door, it had been stuck.
Lu Li knew how to open the door, because this Instance Dungeon had another name: [Open the Dark Portal].
According to the setting of the game, the existence of time in the world of Azeroth was like a crisscrossed web. Every stream of time was like a thin river that intersected at a time node, and then separated. The countless timelines of Azeroth's heroes all had different destinies.
We could see this timeline as a divergent network. There would always be one timeline that was the correct timeline, which allowed history to continue. Any other timeline would result in the destruction of Azeroth and the death of all living things.
Therefore, we had to ensure that we followed the correct timeline.
In fact, there were similar theories in reality. The most famous one was naturally the Time Paradox, which was also known as the Maternal Grandmother Paradox.
In theory, if a person really 'returned to the past' and killed his maternal grandmother before she was pregnant with his mother, would that person still exist?
The question was obvious. Without his maternal grandmother, there would be no mother. Without his mother, there would be no him. Without him, how could he return to the past and kill his maternal grandmother before she was pregnant with his mother?
This was the "grandmother paradox."
We travel back to the past and try to change some of our regrets so that we can live a better life. But often, things don't go according to our wishes. How can we be sure that this change won't lead to even greater misfortune?
When talking about time in Azeroth, it was natural to talk about the Guardian Dragon Nozdormu and his Bronze Dragon army.
The Bronze Dragon Nozdormu was one of the five Dragon Aspects created by the Titans. He was given the ability to travel through time by Amanther, the father of the Titans. He was responsible for guarding the path of time and destiny. He was known as the Eternal King.
The Bronze Dragon Legion had been guarding the time of Azeroth since ancient times, ensuring that time moved in the correct direction. Furthermore, he had led mortals through time and space to the past many times to ensure that certain events in the past happened and to ensure that the current timeline was correct. However, the flow of time was so complicated that it was easy for people to get lost in it. They couldn't tell which was reality and which was an illusion, even including Nozdormu himself.
There were many members of the Bronze Dragon Legion, but most of the Bronze Dragons didn't like to show their faces in public.
When Nozdormu was lost in time, his chief consort, Soridormi, led the Scale of the Quicksand to guard the Caverns of Time and monitor the flow of time.
The Bronze Dragon that players were most familiar with was the little loli Chromie. She often transformed into a female Gnome and appeared all over Azeroth, helping mortal adventurers.
When the Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu was asleep, the Bronze Dragon Legion fought against a mysterious Dragon known as the Eternal Dragons. Even the Bronze Dragons themselves didn't know what kind of opponent they were facing.
At the end of time, the appearance of the Eternal Dragon King, Murozdor, explained everything. The Eternal Dragon was the evil incarnation of the Bronze Dragons. They were bewitched by the Ancient Gods and deviated from their own belief in protecting time.
Their goal was to lead the timeline to the end of time.
In reality, the birth of the Eternal Dragons was related to Nozdormu. The Bronze Dragon King had already seen his end at the hands of the Father of the Gods, Aman 'Thul. He would become the Eternal Dragon King Nozdormu and be killed by another adventurer led by him.
It was this long torture that caused Nozdormu to be deceived by the Ancient Gods. He became the Eternal Dragon King and led the Eternal Dragons to destroy Azeroth's timeline and tried to lead it to the future where Deathwing successfully destroyed the world.
In reality, Lu Li had always been skeptical of this theory.
Why couldn't it be another situation?
The Eternal Dragons were actually correct. They were the Bronze Dragons from the future who had traveled to the present.
At some point in the future, the Bronze Dragons realized that what everyone had been protecting was a mistake. Because of this protection, Azeroth was about to be destroyed. In order to change this tragedy, they used time to travel to the past and wanted to change this tragedy by rewriting history.
As such, they were called the Eternal Dragons.
They were the ones who were truly fighting for the lives of Azeroth. Everything that stopped them was forcefully pushing Azeroth towards its destruction.
In fact, this kind of theory was quite valid.
After all, no one would travel to the past and kill them for no reason, even if they were bewitched by the Ancient Gods.
However, as players, they were bound to be led by the nose by the game's storyline. They would listen to whoever gave them experience, reputation, or gold. As such, they could only stop the Eternal Dragons from destroying the timeline with the help of the Bronze Dragons.
The two Instance Dungeons in the Caverns of Time mainly involved changing the timeline.
The former was the Eternal Dragons trying to stop Thrall from escaping, so that Thrall would be imprisoned in Durnholde forever. This way, the new Horde wouldn't appear and the storyline would naturally change.
The latter was the Eternal Dragons trying to stop the opening of the Dark Portal. This way, the Orcs naturally wouldn't be able to invade Azeroth.
In this Instance Dungeon, the players would be asked by the Bronze Dragon Legion to return to Medivh's side when the Dark Portal was about to open. Here, the Eternal Dragon Legion used a direct method to interfere with the flow of time – sending assassins to attack Medivh.
Even though the opening of the Dark Portal would cause millions of lives to wither away, if the Orcs didn't come to Azeroth, the timeline would be destroyed, causing history and the future to change.
The players would become Medivh's helpers until Gul 'dan's subordinates successfully passed through the Dark Portal and arrived in the world of Azeroth.
