Dawn's Blossom, the largest pandaren town in the Jade Forest.
It could be said that this town is the local capital of the Jade Forest. With Cho's guidance, they checked into the largest inn.
Living in this town with tens of thousands of pandaren, Galen only felt a sense of peace.
It has to be said that the concept of "survival of the fittest" applies in every universe.
Under the protection of Shaohao, the pandaren live a life of seclusion, but it comes at a price: they must learn to control their emotions from a young age.
The pandaren's optimistic and peaceful emotions are forced upon them.
After all, sealed beneath this continent are six Sha, formed from emotions. Overly volatile emotions are the greatest enemy of the creatures living here. If they are not careful, the Sha will use the body of someone with intense emotions as a vessel to reappear and wreak havoc on the world.
Galen imagined a scenario where the various races of Azeroth and the pandaren switched homes.
He figured that if they settled in Pandaria, they would be wiped out by various Sha within two years. The elves would be destroyed by the Sha of Pride, the orcs by the Sha of Anger. Humans and dwarves might last a few years longer than the elves, but they would probably attract several types of Sha, enough to wipe them out several times over.
After staying in Dawn's Blossom for two days, Galen and his group boarded an ox cart purchased from Dawn's Blossom, driven by Old Chen, and headed towards the Temple of the Jade Serpent, led by Cho.
On the way, the Wanderer's duty kicked in, and he began to introduce the Temple of the Jade Serpent to everyone.
"The Temple of the Jade Serpent is a temple dedicated to one of the August Celestials, Yu'lon the Jade Serpent. The temple library contains a large number of historical documents. Not only do the pandaren worship the Jade Serpent, but this temple is also particularly sacred to the jinyu, who use the crystal ball in the temple to divine and act as their eyes and ears to monitor the entire continent."
Wan Yu perked up her ears in the back, listening with great interest.
Legolas asked curiously at this moment:
"Uncle Cho, what are the August Celestials? I've only heard my father talk about the Wild Gods and the Loa. My brother and I even met red and green giant lizards on a huge tree!"
Arathor immediately corrected his younger brother: "They are not giant lizards. Mother said they are dragons, Alexstrasza the Red Dragon Queen and Ysera the Green Dragon Queen! They are father's allies, and we must respect them!"
The conversation between the two children made Cho's heart skip a beat!
Dragons!
And Dragon Aspects!
Two allies!
Who are these tourists I'm leading!
They seem very important!
Galen noticed Cho's shock at this moment, but he didn't explain. He just told our Wanderer to continue: "You will know our identity after we meet Yu'lon. Now, please continue, Cho, and tell the children the story of the Four Celestials."
Upon hearing this, Cho could only forcibly suppress his curiosity and continue to explain in detail.
"Since the beginning of recorded history in Pandaria, the Four Celestials have been protecting the pandaren of Pandaria. These four guardians are Yu'lon the Jade Serpent, Xuen the White Tiger, Chi-Ji the Red Crane, and Niuzao the Black Ox!"
"The Jade Serpent is the embodiment of wisdom, the Red Crane is the embodiment of hope, the White Tiger is the embodiment of strength, and the Black Ox is the embodiment of fortitude."
"They have been guarding Pandaria for generations, spreading hope, wisdom, courage, and strength."
In fact, Cho, and even the entire race of Pandaria, did not know that Chi-Ji, Niuzao, Xuen, Yu'lon, and other Wild Gods were all created by Freya when she seeded life on Azeroth.
At that time, the power of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms attracted the four initial lives. Freya noticed that they had a common pursuit of peace and wisdom.
She knew that they would be of great help to this area, so she blessed them like the Wild Gods on Mount Hyjal.
The changes in Ulduar in the north forced Freya to leave the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. In the years that followed, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, as Freya had expected, saw the emergence of many different creatures under the care of the Four Celestials.
There were the intelligent jinyu, the mischievous hozen, and the peace-loving pandaren. They had one thing in common: they worshiped the August Celestials.
In return, the August Celestials granted them knowledge and guidance. The Vale of Eternal Blossoms was once peaceful and serene.
Later, this peaceful scene was broken by the sudden appearance of Lei Shen. Xuen tried to protect the pandaren of Kun-Lai Summit from Lei Wang's rule and agreed to Lei Shen's challenge.
But the battle ended with Xuen's defeat and imprisonment.
Niuzao also confronted the mogu in battle, but ultimately failed and was imprisoned.
After Chi-Ji was captured, the mogu used him to mock the desperate pandaren slaves.
The last Celestial, Yu'lon, was defeated by Lei Shen and was forced to transform her essence into a jade statue to survive.
Later, whenever Yu'lon entered a period of weakness, she needed the pandaren to build a new statue for her and gain new life from it. This is also the Jade Serpent's unique path of reincarnation.
Later, the pandaren uprising established their own empire.
Before the War of the Ancients, Shaohao joined forces with the Four Celestials to suppress and seal the Sha. The strongest White Tiger Xuen suppressed the Sha of Anger and Hatred with his own strength, Niuzao suppressed the Sha of Hatred while resisting the mantid invasion, Yu'lon suppressed the Sha of Doubt, and Chi-Ji suppressed the Sha of Sorrow.
They have their own missions and cannot leave this land. In addition, after the Sundering of the world after the War of the Ancients, Pandaria was shrouded in mist, making the Wild Gods of Kalimdor unaware of the existence of these four companions.
"What is that...?"
Alleria looked south from the ox cart, where there was an extremely huge brown stone pillar with some bamboo scaffolding built at the bottom, and some emerald green jade piled on the ground.
"That is the Heart of the Dragon."
Cho's tone was somewhat sad.
"Don't be sad, this is reincarnation. Yu'lon is neither the beginning nor the end. One day, you will answer the call and defend everything you love. At that time, seek all the light and miracles in this world and fight to the end."
Galen's mind suddenly flashed with these words, and then he blurted them out involuntarily.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the sky suddenly surged with wind and clouds, and a huge dragon head protruded from the clouds, followed by her entire body, a jade dragon nearly one hundred and fifty meters long!
That's Yu'lon the Jade Serpent!
Cho was stunned. He didn't expect Galen's few words to summon the Jade Serpent, one of the Four Celestials.
"Hello, little ones, please come with me, I will be waiting for you at the Temple of the Jade Serpent!"
Then Yu'lon, suspended in the air, flicked her tail and headed east.
"This... this! This! This!"
Cho had already begun to stutter.
"Old Chen, what are you waiting for, accelerate! Target, Temple of the Jade Serpent!"
"Okay! Watch out, I'm about to show off the skills of the Mistveil Island car god!"
"Pa!"
The pandaren monk flicked the reins in his hand, the end of the reins striking the old ox's rump, the pain causing it to spread its four hooves and begin to gallop wildly.
"Yi-ha!"
"It's running!"
This is Legolas.
"Wow! You're amazing, Uncle Chen!"
This is Lili.
"Fatty, you're awesome!"
This is Arathor…
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Temple of the Jade Serpent.
An ancient and magnificent temple, with green bricks and glazed tiles, winding corridors, high eaves, each embracing the terrain, and interlocking corners.
When the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the Temple of the Jade Serpent, the heavy mahogany doors happened to open.
A female pandaren dressed in a blue silk sacrificial robe, with a blue jade hairpin on her head, led a line of monks out.
The monks stood in two rows on the steps, while the priestess came to the front of the ox cart and said to Galen: "Respected guest, I am Liu Yanxin, the priestess of the Temple of the Jade Serpent. Yu'lon is waiting for you in the main hall, please follow me!"
Galen jumped off the ox cart, then turned around and picked up Legolas and Arathor, one in each arm, and followed Liu Yanxin into the Temple of the Jade Serpent.
Along the way, decorations in the shape of the Azure Dragon could be seen everywhere. After passing through the central courtyard, they arrived at the entrance of the main hall where the Azure Dragon was enshrined.
At this time, Liu Yanxin turned to Galen and said, "Honorable guest, Yu'lon only allows you to enter the main hall."
"Zhou Zhuo, and a few guests, please follow me to the library, where I will entertain you."
Alleria asked Galen with her eyes if there would be any danger. After all, they had come to Pandaria for the first time, and they were unfamiliar with the place. It was necessary to be wary of others.
"Go ahead, it's very safe here for now. There are many interesting books in the library, and I believe the children will be interested in the stories in them."
"Okay, we're going. Be careful."
Galen nodded, then strode into the main hall, and Liu Yanxin behind him directly closed the door.
"Bang…"
Along with the closing of the door, the inside of the main hall was silent.
"Yu'lon, I'm here, representing an old friend to see you."
A wisp of green fluorescent light appeared from the depths of the main hall: "I am here, little one…"
Along with Yu'lon's voice, she stretched her body out from behind a huge load-bearing pillar.
This was a behemoth, her body resembling a long cyan giant snake, covered with emerald-like green scales on her flexible, curved, slender body, each dragon scale rippling with light like water waves.
She had four huge claws distributed on both sides of her body, the claws flashing with a white cold light like eagle claws.
Of course, what Galen felt most familiar with was Yu'lon's head!
A horse-like nose, carp-like whiskers, deer-like antlers, cow ears, and a lion-like mane!
Dragon!
This was the dragon in Galen's heart.
Why Legolas and Zhou Zhuo said that red dragons and green dragons were flying big lizards, because it was influenced by Galen, or accidentally heard Galen's inner thoughts…
Get her!
Get her!
Get her!
Galen was shouting frantically in his heart, this was the first time he had so eagerly wanted to possess something!
This important idea even appeared in his mind three times!
"Yu'lon… truly beautiful and noble!"
Faced with Yu'lon, the supreme celestial being who made him feel so cordial, Galen's praise was self-evident.
Yu'lon, sitting cross-legged on the ground, let out a gentle laugh, the dragon's huge body even trembling slightly.
"Thank you for your praise, little one. I heard your remarks in the clouds before, and they are full of wisdom, which is very close to my philosophy!"
How could they not be close, those words were originally spoken from your mouth ten years later.
However, Galen, who was used to plagiarism, had to finish pretending to be 13: "The cycle of life is a miracle in itself. In this short life, you always have to fight for something."
"Your life is not short, young demigod. You have many smells on you that I feel familiar with."
Yu'lon once again stretched her head over, her horse-like nose taking a deep sniff in front of Galen.
"Although we are far from the center of the world, we also visited the Emerald Dream tens of thousands of years ago. We are also Freya's children, and you are stained with all their scents."
"Can you tell me your identity? Young demigod."
Galen raised his arm and tried to take a breath.
He had been wearing light leather armor recently, and there was only a faint scent of hyacinth, which was the scent that the Windrunner sisters liked.
"Haha, it's not the smell of the body, I'm talking about the aura of power or even the soul."
Hearing this, Galen immediately put down his arm, and then he stared at Yu'lon and said: "Ms. Yu'lon, can I open a portal here? There is someone you should want to see."
"The mist shrouding this continent will cause the beacon of the teleportation to be disordered, but you can open it if you can."
Very good, Galen was about to invite Freya!
It was really that Freya's title of Mother of the Wilderness Demigods was too easy to use. In the Emerald Dream, he had fooled several demigods into becoming his followers. In order to take down the Eastern god of wisdom, Azure Dragon, in one fell swoop, he directly dispatched Freya's deity!
A white light flashed, and Freya's tall body appeared beside Galen.
"Lord, I'm here!"
Freya bowed to Galen.
"You! You! It's Lord Freya!"
Yu'lon widened her dragon eyes filled with white light, staring intently at the bronze giant in front of her!
"Oh! Little Azure Dragon, Yu'lon!"
"It's me, Lord Freya, you're finally back. We've been waiting here for twenty thousand years!"
"I'm sorry, there was a huge change in the north, I was trapped in Ulduar, and it wasn't until a few years ago that the Lord rescued me from Yogg-Saron's conspiracy!"
Yu'lon happily spun around in place, a whirlwind beginning to take shape in the main hall.
"Quiet down, Yu'lon, don't get excited!"
"No, Lord Freya, I must notify the other three brothers and ask them to come to the Temple of the Jade Serpent to pay their respects to you!"
"No, there's no need to do that, the movement is too loud, it will disturb other creatures, I have always been there, and I can come over at any time."
After the two sides reminisced about the past, Yu'lon also learned of Galen's identity: the representative of the Azeroth Titan Soul in the real world!
Not only that, Freya also told Yu'lon about Galen's achievements: killing Yogg-Saron and C'Thun!
Azure Dragon was shocked.
