Chapter 658: Return Jump

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just like last time, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. It came smoothly without warning. Time jumped, and space was displaced.

Fortunately, Julia and Benia were not lost this time. They were with Roy.

At this moment, the place where the three of them suddenly appeared was in pitch-black space. Julia and Benia also had the ability to survive in space, so they didn’t panic. They looked around curiously and found a gigantic star shining in the distance, and around the star were several planets slowly orbiting.

“Time jumped, but where were we teleported to?” Julia asked Roy through soul voice transmission curiously. “This seems to be a star system…”

“We’ll know in a moment…” Roy didn’t know where this place was, but based on his previous experience, he opened the system interface and prepared to check the changes in his strength so that he could determine how much time had passed.

However, after he waited for a while, the strange thing was that the strength value on his interface didn’t change at all. The expected increase in strength didn’t come as scheduled.

What’s going on? Roy was confused. After carefully thinking about it for a while, he came to a reasonable conclusion. This time jump might not have gone forward. Time might have stayed the same, and it might have even gone backward.

This was entirely possible because Roy and the others had been swept into the time flux caused by Murozond. The time flux had sent them to ancient times and then experienced a time delay, but there was no evidence that the time flux wouldn’t send them back before ancient times. In short, the time flux might cause them to jump back and forth on the time axis repeatedly.

Thinking of this possibility, Roy immediately felt a headache. He knew very well that the reason he was on this time flux train was that he had appeared at some historical nodes in this universe. But there were so many historical nodes in this universe, so who knew what events he had participated in? What he knew so far was nothing more than some events with clear historical records, but what about those that hadn’t been recorded in history?

Without a doubt, this was the current situation. There was no increase in his strength, indicating that he was at least not past the time before Argus was corrupted and the eredar joined the Burning Legion. But it was really difficult to judge the exact time.

If he wanted to determine what time he was in, he had to find a way to obtain information. Fortunately, the Burning Legion existed in this universe, and he could use the growth of the Burning Legion as a benchmark when inquiring. Thus, Roy released Rafaro from the system space and prepared to turn him into a starship. First, he went to the star system in front to see if there were any planets with intelligent life.

After Rafaro appeared, he quickly understood what was going on, so he said with a headache, “Lord Osiris, did we… jump again?”

“Learn to get used to it. There will probably be several more times like this…” Roy said and called Julia and Benia onto the ship.

The Void Seeker turned into a stream of light and headed straight for the star in front. Not long after, a scan of the star system came. In the magic projection, the trajectory of the stellar objects in the star system in front was calculated, and one of the planets was highlighted. Rafaro’s voice sounded as he explained, “Lord Osiris, life reactions have been detected on this planet. There is probably intelligent life.”

“Oh? Zoom in on this planet!” Roy was interested and ordered Rafaro.

However, after the specific scenes of this planet were displayed, Roy felt that this planet was becoming more and more familiar, especially when he saw the two satellites, one blue and one white, around this planet. He said in surprise, “Is… is this Azeroth?!”

Hearing Roy’s surprised voice, Julia and Benia quickly leaned forward to take a closer look. A moment later, Benia said in puzzlement, “It’s a little similar, but it’s different. The land on this planet is an entire tectonic plate, and you can’t see the huge maelstrom from outer space…”

Indeed, just as Benia said, the terrain of this planet was different from the planet of Azeroth in Roy’s impression. But he had a feeling that this was Azeroth! His heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but urge Rafaro. “Detect immediately whether there’s a planetary shield around this planet.”

After a while, Rafaro’s surprised voice came. “Lord Osiris, there really is! There’s a massive planetary shield around this planet, exactly the same as the one we detected on Azeroth. Even the energy peak is stronger. I can determine that it was set up by the Pantheon of Order…”

Julia and Benia looked at each other and felt that it was extremely strange. They asked Roy, “Were we… swept into another timeline by the spacetime flux? If that’s the case, we’re in big trouble.”

Roy thought about it carefully and shook his head. “This possibility isn’t too high. The timeline should still be the original timeline. I’m more inclined to believe that we were thrown into an earlier time by the spacetime flux. If we want to prove this guess, we’ll know after going to this planet.”

Next, the Void Seeker spent a long time in the outer space of this giant planet. Then it stopped its engine in outer space and floated in observation of this planet.

Just as Roy had guessed, after observation, he came to the conclusion that this planet was Azeroth. But at this moment, the tectonic plate of Azeroth had not split into two because of the explosion of the Well of Eternity. From outer space, the tectonic plates were still very complete. He even found a large lake in the center of the tectonic plate. This large lake was where the Well of Eternity was.

Although he knew that the Well of Eternity had not exploded yet, it was still difficult to determine the exact time point. Roy wanted to land on Azeroth to see the situation, but Rafaro told him a piece of disappointing news. Because of the existence of the planet’s shield, they couldn’t enter this planet.

The planetary shield set up by the Pantheon of Order not only blocked foreign life, but it even blocked the energy fluctuations of the Well of Eternity to a certain extent. At least when Rafaro scanned earlier, he didn’t detect any high-energy reactions from Azeroth.

“This is really troublesome…” Roy said with a headache. “The existence of the planetary shield at least proves that the titans have come. But the titans of the Pantheon discovered Azeroth and protected it. The time span during this period is very long. Now that we can’t enter Azeroth, there’s no way to make an accurate judgment.”

Roy, Julia, and Benia discussed for a long time, but they couldn’t think of a good solution. The planetary shield of the Pantheon of Order was very powerful, so powerful that even the future Sargeras could only think of a way to bypass its protection mechanism and couldn’t break it violently. With Roy’s current strength, he naturally couldn’t break this shield. And if he wanted to bypass the protection mechanism and descend on Azeroth, he needed the cooperation of people on the planet. But even if someone among the intelligent races on Azeroth tried to summon demons, they still needed to establish contact with Roy.

In fact, the best way was to get some low-level demons to enter Azeroth first. The effect of the planetary shield on low-level demons was very small, and without considering the sacrifices of low-level demons, there would always be one or two who had the chance to arrive on the surface of Azeroth through the loopholes in the planetary shield. At that time, these low-level demons would publicize Roy’s demon name and tempt some fallen beings who wanted to obtain power to carry out the summoning ritual and summon Roy. This would be considered a success.

However, the trouble was that Roy didn’t have any low-level demons around him now. The lowest-level demons around him were at the demon lord level, and the planetary shield also strongly rejected demons of this level.

If only Sareth or Cassandra were here… Roy couldn’t help thinking.

Roy couldn’t enter Azeroth, but it was impossible for him to leave just like that. Although he didn’t know what time node this jump had brought him to and what historical event he was required to participate in, he guessed that it was definitely related to Azeroth. So he could only stay helplessly in the starship with Julia and Benia and float in outer space to observe. At the same time, he got Rafaro to launch some detection satellites to monitor the entire planet.

Roy was now extremely glad that he had created Rafaro, a half-mechanical, half-magical life form. The technological abilities that Rafaro possessed played a huge role in this universe. Sure enough, it wasn’t wrong to develop both mysticism and science.

During his stay in the outer space of Azeroth, Roy was actually very vigilant. Because he didn’t know the exact time, he couldn’t tell if the titans of the Pantheon had died or not. It had to be known that Sargeras had fallen to become the Dark Titan about 25,000 years before the era of the Dark Portal. But the time when the titans of the Pantheon discovered and transformed Azeroth might have been about 30,000 years before the era of the Dark Portal. During these 5,000 years, Sargeras had been fighting outside to eliminate the Twisting Nether demons, so he had not returned to the Pantheon. Naturally, he didn’t know that the Pantheon had discovered Azeroth.

Roy had experienced the fall of the Dark Titan, then a time jump and the corruption of Argus. This time was about 22,000 years before the era of the Dark Portal. But this second time jump didn’t cause time to move forward, which meant that he was between 30,000 to 22,000 years ago! The time span was as long as 8,000 years, so there were too many possibilities. What Roy was worried about was that he would encounter the time when the Pantheon returned to Azeroth to eliminate the Old Gods. If this happened, it would be terrible.

However, Roy then thought of something, the theory that it was impossible for the same being to exist at the same time. In other words, it shouldn’t be the time when Sargeras fell. If it were 25,000 years ago, he should be in Sargeras’s Mardum prison. There was no reason why he would suddenly appear in Azeroth.

While Roy was guessing and calculating the time he was in, an anomaly occurred.

Auriel, who had been lying on his shoulder without moving, suddenly raised her head slightly, and the wings behind her also raised slightly. The Void eyes on her wings, which were layered like feathers, seemed to have encountered some signal interference and opened and closed neatly.

Not only did Roy notice this anomaly, but Julia and Benia also noticed it. But what was strange was that Auriel’s abnormal actions only lasted for less than a minute before stopping. She retracted her wings and lay back on Roy’s shoulder, returning to her original motionless posture.

What’s going on? Although Auriel had returned to normal, Roy didn’t let go of his curiosity. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a while before coming to a conclusion.

There might be something abnormal in the Void World. Some kind of disturbance in the Void energy had even interfered with Auriel, which was why this anomaly suddenly appeared.

After thinking about it, Roy spoke to Julia and Benia and decided to ‘sink’ into the Void to see what was going on…
