Chapter 650 Arrival at the Abyss
"Hmm." Sylvanas frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She stared at Yun with strange eyes, as if trying to figure out why the other party suddenly asked this question.
"You actually helped Zoval to steal the marks of other Eternals?" Yun stared at Sylvanas, with disbelief and surprise in his voice.
Sylvanas nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Yes."
Seeing this, Yun couldn't help but ask: "Do you know what is Zoval's purpose in doing this?" At this moment, Yun's doubts became more and more serious, because in his impression, Sylvanas was not someone who could be easily used by others.
However, Sylvanas answered without hesitation: "I don't know, but it doesn't matter to me."
Hearing this, Yun was suddenly stunned and puzzled. He raised his voice and said, "Huh? What do you mean? Don't you know that Zoval is planning something earth-shattering? He is trying to build a new cosmic order!" At this point, Yun became excited and a little anger appeared on his face.
Facing Yun's questioning, Sylvanas showed no intention of backing down. Instead, she retorted, "So what if it's as you said? Zoval's strength is so formidable that even without my assistance, he can still successfully obtain the marks of other Eternals. Moreover, without me, his plan may not be affected. In this case, why can't I take this opportunity to gain some benefits for myself?"
"This..." Yun was dumbfounded for a moment, as if his throat was choked by something, and he didn't know how to respond to Sylvanas's righteous and convincing words. It was indeed as Sylvanas said, whether he and Arthas were personally involved or not, it was actually difficult to have any substantial impact on Zoval's unstoppable progress. You know, at this time, Sylvanas did not have the terrifying power as powerful as in the game. As she said, the role she could play in Zoval was really quite limited.
"My lord, haven't you told me before? There is no right or wrong in power itself. What is wrong is the way people use it. As for me, I have only obtained some energy from Zoval. Moreover, this energy is actually compatible with the energy you have. This point alone is extremely rare! Moreover, since obtaining this energy, not only have I not killed even one innocent person, but I have successfully prevented Zoval from launching a brutal war against the Bastion, indirectly protecting the safety of many lives! Therefore, I really don’t think there is anything wrong with what I did." Sylvanas said incessantly.
Yun silently listened to Sylvanas's defense, and at this moment he felt more and more speechless. Yes, people have cleverly borrowed the words you once said to refute you. When you calm down and think carefully, you have to admit that the facts seem to be as they say.
"Receiving energy and helping him do things are two completely different things!" At this moment, Brooks stepped forward without warning and said loudly.
Sylvanas could not help but feel surprised. She looked at Brox in confusion and asked, "Who are you? Why are you interrupting here?"
Brox did not directly answer Sylvanas' question, but continued with a serious face: "It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that you need to clearly realize that you can accept the energy, but at the same time you must seriously think about whether what you are doing is right. Don't be naive to think that as long as you save them, you will be doing them good. In fact, in many cases, necessary sacrifices are inevitable. Only through sacrifice can fear be aroused and anger be aroused, so that it is possible to make oneself stronger. No race can gradually rise and become strong in a comfortable environment, because excessive comfort will only lead to the decline of the race."
Brox's words were like a revelation, and Yun, who was listening, suddenly realized something. It turned out that just now, Sylvanas's seemingly reasonable remarks almost led him astray. At this moment, Yun finally understood that sometimes seemingly good deeds may not be the choice that is truly beneficial to long-term development.
"How can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? Take you for example. If you were still the little girl who lived a carefree life among the elves, how could you have such a strong strength now? Look at you now. You are no less powerful than Malfurion, but do you know why?" Yun paused for a moment, stared at Sylvanas with a sharp gaze, and then said, "It is because you have an immense desire to become stronger in your heart, and because you have personally experienced the deep helplessness caused by your own weakness. That feeling is unforgettable, so you made up your mind not to repeat the same mistakes and never want to bear that powerlessness and despair again. Because of this, you will make efforts beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even take huge risks to go to the Maw to temper yourself. But why do you forget all this when the same situation happens to others?"
Hearing this, Sylvanas could not help but look surprised. She had been quite pleased with what she had done before, secretly thinking that she had understood and practiced the profound meaning conveyed by Yun, and firmly believed that what she had done was completely correct. However, at this moment, facing Yun's sharp words and questioning, she began to doubt whether she had really made a mistake. For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, making her feel a little overwhelmed.
"There is no absolute right or wrong in what you did. Any behavior that is beneficial to yourself is the right thing to do. You successfully obtained energy, which is undoubtedly the right choice. However, your mistake was not in stopping the battle, but in forgetting that self-interest should always be the first principle. What does the survival of the Bastion have to do with you? What you need to think about is how to gain the greatest benefit here." Seeing Sylvanas' confused face, Brox hurried to make amends.
Yun at the side also echoed: "That's right, since it has already happened, there is no need to worry about whether it is right or wrong. For the actions that have been completed, we should consider how to proceed in order to maximize our own benefits."
Hearing this, Sylvanas's mental state seemed to improve slightly. She asked, "Then, why are you here now, my lord?"
Yun raised his hand and pointed upwards, and responded, "I plan to go there."
Sylvanas looked puzzled and asked, "Hmm? My Lord, why are you going there?"
Yun shook his head and said, "Actually, even I don't know." Yun really didn't know what he would gain by going there, but at the moment there was no other way but to leave everything to fate.
"Okay, Arthas and I have finally settled down in the Maw. If you come, it will be much easier." Sylvanas said softly. Her cold voice echoed in this mysterious place.
"Okay, let's go." Yun nodded slightly to show his agreement.
With Sylvanas, a guide who was familiar with the place, leading the way, everyone moved forward and soon arrived at the Maw smoothly.
As soon as he stepped into this place, Brooks immediately noticed the strangeness of the surrounding environment. He frowned and muttered to himself: "This place is so strange!"
Hearing Brooks' words, Yun hurriedly asked: "What's so strange? Tell us quickly." At this time, Yun was a little confused and didn't know where to explore. He could only hope that his companions around him could provide some useful clues or signs.
Brooks took a deep breath and explained slowly: "The energy here is extremely thin. Even in the vast universe, such thin energy is extremely rare. Normally, this situation only occurs on planets where star energy is exhausted and life is dying. However, it is obvious that this is not an ordinary planet, but a unique space, so this phenomenon is really puzzling."
After the silence lasted for a while, Wrathion, who had been listening quietly, frowned slightly and continued thoughtfully: "Well, according to common sense, such an extremely thin energy environment should be difficult to breed powerful creatures. However, what is incredible is that the moment we set foot on this land, I can clearly sense the unique aura of many powerful creatures around us. This is really incredible! So the key question before us now is, how do these creatures obtain sufficient energy to make themselves so powerful?"
Sylvanas on the side suddenly said: "The source of energy here mainly relies on the power of the soul. Every soul that comes here still has the original energy of life. This energy will not disappear easily, but the souls here devour each other, and eventually form one powerful creature after another."
Hearing this answer, Brox and Wrathion both widened their eyes, their faces full of surprise and confusion. "Soul?" Brox couldn't help but repeat, he was obviously very unfamiliar and unbelievable about this statement; while Wrathion stared at Sylvanas, as if he wanted to get more detailed explanation from her about the soul as a source of energy.
"Do you know? In fact, the so-called soul is the place where all dead creatures in the entire universe will eventually arrive! It's in this mysterious space. Moreover, there are other places above it! Those souls gathered from all directions must first go through rounds of strict screening in other places. Only those souls that are not accepted by other places and no one is willing to take them in will float here like fallen leaves and eventually fall to the place where we are. So, this place naturally becomes the place with the largest number of souls. However, those other places are dedicated to finding an ideal destination for every soul, and here, on the contrary, we want to let all these souls dissipate into the invisible." Yun Ye added immediately.
After hearing Yun's description, Brox and Wrathion were obviously frightened. It wasn't because they were afraid, but because they had suddenly heard something that completely overturned their cognition. They were somewhat confused. They widened their eyes and asked in unison: "What? All dead creatures will become souls and come here?"
"Is there such a thing as a destination?" Their faces were filled with disbelief.
At this time, Sylvanas took over the conversation and said: "Yes, it is just as Yun said, all souls will come here. Even Arthas reunited with his deceased father here, but unfortunately, I have never been able to see my brother." At this point, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of loneliness.
"Well... In my opinion, Raymond might be in the Ardenweald right now." Yun answered after thinking for a while. At the same time, the memory of Raymond gradually became clear in his mind.
"Yes, I have found out where he is. So I need to quickly gain more power and go find my brother. I miss him." Sylvanas started to cry as she spoke.
"Okay, then the first place we should go is the Emerald Dream!" Yun scratched his head. He actually had no idea where to go. Now that he had a clear goal, he decided to head towards the Emerald Dream first.
"But the problem is, there is no way to reach Ardenweald directly from here." Sylvanas said with a frown.
"Don't worry, I know this place a little bit. Look there!" Yun raised his hand and pointed to a tower in the distance, and then said: "Next, we have to go to that tower."
"Oh? I see. But... that tower is not ordinary. It was used to imprison Zoval." Sylvanas recalled with a serious face.
"Yes, I know this very well. I heard that the Lord of Soldiers is imprisoned there now. Hehe, it's a good opportunity for me to take a good look at what these so-called Eternals look like." Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then led everyone to walk quickly towards the mysterious tower.
