“So, is this how the Maelstrom of Azeroth that we saw back then forms?”

After watching the entire explosion of the Well of Eternity, Julia and Benia finally came to a realization. At this moment, they finally had a profound sense of being in history.

“Since this historical event is completed, doesn’t that mean that we’re going to start another time jump?” Julia asked Roy.

“Probably.” Roy nodded.

Although he knew that the impact of the explosion of the Well of Eternity was only the beginning, with Illidan later creating the second Well of Eternity and even Dath’Remar leading the surviving Highborne and creating the Sunwell in Quel’Thalas, these events could all be regarded as an extension of the War of the Ancients. However, they would take a long time. Putting everything else aside, it would take at least 2,000 years for the Sunwell to appear. It was definitely impossible for Roy and the others to stay for so long, so these events should have nothing to do with them.

In other words, their time jump task was over. Although Roy didn’t do much, leaving clean well water for Illidan was his greatest participation in this historical event. The records of Roy, a commander of the Burning Legion, by the elves in later generations came from this.

“Darling, what time do you think we’ll go to next?” Benia asked.

“Draenor, right?” Roy guessed. After all, after experiencing the War of the Ancients, although the Burning Legion had never given up on Azeroth, it didn’t make any big moves for a long time. It wasn’t until the Dark Portal opened that it launched its second invasion. During this time, if there were any traces of the Burning Legion, it should be against the orcs of Draenor.

In fact, although Broxigar had left a wound on Sargeras’s body as a mortal, which was a miraculous feat, unfortunately, it was precisely because of his appearance that Sargeras and the Burning Legion noticed the existence of the orc race. Broxigar’s bravery won the respect of Sargeras and the demons, but it also sowed the seeds of disaster for the orcs.

Of course, it wasn’t easy to find Draenor, the birthplace of the orcs, in the vast universe. It might take thousands of years…

Roy thought that the next time jump would bring them thousands of years later, to when the Burning Legion discovered Draenor, but just as he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned.

“Something’s wrong…” Roy pondered. “The orcs of Draenor don’t seem to know about my existence.”

Roy recalled that when he first appeared in this universe with Lilith and arrived on Argus, it was when the Burning Legion caught Ner’zhul and wanted to create the Lich King. But Ner’zhul didn’t seem to know him at the time!

If Roy had participated in the Burning Legion’s destruction of Draenor, then there was no reason for Ner’zhul not to know him…

Moreover, during the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the orcs didn’t seem to know him either…

Thinking of this, Roy trembled in excitement and said to Julia and Benia, “Get ready. We may end this journey!”

Julia and Benia weren’t stupid. They immediately understood Roy’s meaning and said excitedly, “You’re saying that we may return to the origin of the time flux?”

“Very likely!” Roy nodded in confirmation.

It was definitely good to be able to end the time travel. In fact, Julia and Benia had been feeling aggrieved during this period of time. Although they had successfully advanced to the demon king level, they were worried any their willful behavior could cause deviations in history, so they had been suppressing themselves and minimizing their sense of presence, being as low-key as possible. This was a great torture for their demon nature, but in order to finally end the time loop accurately and escape from the influence of the time flux, they had no choice but to do this.

Now, the influence of the spacetime flux was coming to an end.

Roy felt the same. Although he had reached an agreement with Sargeras to get him to help him collect a hundred trillion souls—and after following the Burning Legion for so many years, he had several opportunities to plunder souls wantonly—because of the influence on history, he could only choose to keep a low profile in the end. Wouldn’t he feel it was a pity?

Of course it was a pity. Which demon would complain about having too many souls?

Roy was naturally happy to be able to end this journey. He had already decided that the first thing he would do after escaping from the time flux was to kill the Bronze Aspect, Nozdormu, and the Lord of the Infinite, Murozond, with his own hands. If this didn’t vent his anger, he would kill Aman’Thul too!

These enemies with the ability to control time had really caused him a lot of trouble.

What Roy didn’t know was that his current thoughts coincided with Nozdormu’s original thoughts. When Nozdormu received Aman’Thul’s blessing, he had seen the scene of his future death. He knew very well that Murozond, who was trying to disrupt the timeline in the future, was him. If he could die in Roy’s hands, then Murozond would never appear again, and all the disruptions in the timeline would be corrected.

Therefore, it was hard to say if it was Murozond’s idea or Nozdormu’s idea to pull Roy and the other two into the time flux this time. It could be the result of their mutual wishes. But in any case, they had successfully used the time flux to make Roy have killing intent toward them. This causal relationship was really like fate’s arrangement, and there was logic in coincidence…

Realizing that the time journey was about to end, Roy began to think about what to do after it ended.

As mentioned before, the ‘Movement to the End of Reincarnation’ talent that Roy had set for himself increased his strength more and more rapidly as time progressed. After this time jump, his strength had only increased to the same level as Sargeras’s, which was an increase of 666 times or at most 800 times. But when he finished his time journey and returned to around 22 years after the Dark Portal first opened, his strength would increase by more than 3,000,000 times! The interval between these two jumps was about 10,000 years, but the difference was like heaven and earth.

The increase in strength was a good matter, but Roy had to consider a problem—what would happen if he was too powerful?

Karazhan was the origin and source of their time travel. Roy didn’t know if he would appear in Karazhan at the end. If so, it meant that he would be on Azeroth. But there was a problem here. Azeroth’s planetary shield was always there. What would happen to Roy, whose strength had soared?

Would he be repelled by Azeroth’s planetary shield and land elsewhere, or would he explode the planetary shield because of his immense power?

If it was the latter, the collapse of the planet’s shield would have a tremendous impact on Azeroth and completely expose this world to the Burning Legion. From then on, demons would be able to enter and leave this planet freely, and Azeroth would be in constant war or might eventually be conquered by the Burning Legion.

But if it was the former, Roy felt that he had to be careful!

The top of Karazhan’s mage tower was a weak point in space, and time was relatively chaotic. If Roy wasn’t repulsed by the planetary shield when he finished his time journey and still appeared at Karazhan, when his strength began to expand rapidly, it was very likely to break the fragile balance of time and space there, causing him to be sent to an unknown place.

Of course, with his strength, almost nothing would be able to hurt him, but wouldn’t this be more troublesome?

Therefore, Roy was mentally prepared and planned to see the situation when the time came. Once the situation wasn’t right, he would rather leave Azeroth on his own initiative than be sucked into any spacetime vortex.

After experiencing several time jumps, Roy understood some patterns and knew that he didn’t have much time left, so he called Julia and Benia to meet Sargeras together.

Roy wanted to meet and chat with Sargeras. After all, he had not seen him for a long time since he disappeared last time. And Boss Sargeras was so loyal. After Roy had disappeared for so long, he had always retained Roy’s position as a commander of the Burning Legion for him and had never changed it. Both emotionally and logically, Roy should have a heart-to-heart with Sargeras.

On the way to the Burning Throne, Roy found that the number of demons on Argus was much more than before he left. It seemed that the Burning Legion had gathered a large number of demons during this time. But according to his understanding, not all demon souls were bound to Argus. Because of the existence of the Twisting Nether, new demons were born all the time. Although these demons had also joined the Burning Legion, they were latecomers after all. It was impossible for the Legion to bind every demon that came, so it was likely that many demon souls were still bound to the Twisting Nether.

In the War of the Ancients, most of the demons had been expelled back. But the moment they crossed the portal, those whose souls were not bound with Argus had probably ended up in the Twisting Nether.

Even so, the number of demons Roy saw on Argus was astonishing. The number was at least dozens of times more than before he disappeared. Considering that there were other demons fighting outside, the scale of the Burning Legion was simply appalling.

Some said that there were billions of demons in the Legion, while others said that there were tens or hundreds of trillions. But in fact, the Legion itself could not calculate an accurate number.

Therefore, when Roy saw Sargeras, his first sentence was: “Lord Sargeras, the Legion is really at the height of prosperity now…”

While speaking, Roy smiled.

Since the Burning Legion was at the height of prosperity, wouldn’t what followed be decline? This was the truth. The failure of the War of the Ancients was really a turning point in the great Crusade of the Burning Legion…
