Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"I will let you embrace the power of life and come to know the love and greatness of life."

Rhodes grasped the great holy light with one hand and touched the dangerous shadow power in the void with the other, while burying his head in the sea of ​​arcane magic.

"Immerse yourself in the gentle beauty of the great holy light! Come, Lord Rhodes, feel this greatness." Liadrin grasped Rhodes' hands, letting him feel the great radiance of her holy light.

“False holy light cannot harm me, Liadrin,” Rhodes said, blocking Liadrin’s great holy light with one hand.

"Ah! Come and taste it! The heat of this holy light!" Liadrin was enveloped in golden light, allowing Rhodes to personally experience the greatness of her holy light.

The immense power of holy light was so overwhelming that Rhodes could hardly breathe. Liadrin used to be a priest, but now she has undergone the training of a blood knight and is the first blood knight. The power of holy light she possesses is quite domineering!

Rhodes' entire face was almost unable to withstand Liadrin's blazing holy light.

"Get out of this false holy light! The darkness of the void will devour you, Lord Rhodes. Come and venture into the void!" said the Archmage Solarian.

“The dangerous void cannot withstand my power. The majesty of the Wilderness Demigod is not something you can despise. I will pierce your void and make the shadows submit to me.” Rhodes began to fight against the void power of Solarian.

"I'm waiting to see you launch an attack and show me your power, Lord Rhodes," said the Archmage Solarian.

Soon, the shadows, like the holy light, were defeated.

After dealing with both the forces of Holy Light and Shadow, Rhodes was a little out of breath, but the great arcane ocean still had no intention of letting him go.

"Arcane energy! It is the power of order, the most wondrous power in this world. Come, feel it," the advisor astrologer adjutant said.

After the battle, Rhode simultaneously grasped the mysteries of three different primal energies.

The heat and warmth of the Holy Light, the darkness and depth of the Void, and the ocean of arcane magic are all captivating.

After experiencing the three different energies, Rhode readily crafted weapons for the two astrologers: an arcane steel golem for each, a spell trinket for each, and a top-tier staff for each, paying three years' worth of soul energy for each of them.

Furthermore, both parties agreed that they would come again when they had time so that Rhodes could comprehend the power of arcane magic and the void.

On the other side, Liadrin also changed into her plate armor and took her weapons and shield.

“My weapon isn’t very good quality, so I still need to rely on my shield a lot when I’m fighting,” Liadrin said.

Despite being an aggressive Retribution Paladin, the Blood Elf's frail physique led her to choose to wield a shield during combat to enhance her defense.

Rhodes nodded, channeling his soul energy to imbue Liadrin's shield and one-handed sword with ten years of lifespan, transforming them into Homie-created soul weapons.

"Liadline! Have you decided what to use for the third spot? How about I enhance a Holy Light accessory for you?" Rhode asked.

"Lord Rhodes! Since becoming a paladin, my ranged attack skills have become somewhat weak."

"Could you get me something that can automatically attack from a distance while it's near me?" Liadlin asked.

When those two astrologers left, each of them took an arcane steel golem with them.

I just gave Lord Rhodes a good taste of the greatness of the Holy Light, so I should at least get a soul weapon that can cast spells remotely!

“That works too. I’ll make one for you that can unleash fire magic attacks anytime, anywhere. How about a soul weapon?” Rhodes asked.

“I am truly grateful, Lord Rhodes. I have a Flame Gem here; please use it as a material.” Liadrin took out a fiery red gem and handed it to Rhodes, saying this.

“It would be best to infuse some of your own soul into this kind of soul weapon that can perform elemental attacks. It’s not that I’m stingy, but otherwise you won’t be able to control it,” Rhodes said.

“No problem. Actually, lifespan isn’t important to us blood elves. In fact, what we had a better experience just now was you, Lord Rhodes,” Liadrin said.

Rhodes nodded slightly, telling Liadrin not to resist, and then extracted twenty years of his lifespan, drawing out a holy soul.

It's another soul containing holy light energy. This kind of soul is much stronger than an ordinary soul, and it's also purer, containing a trace of holy light energy.

Recently, Rhodes discovered something: the soul energy of paladins and priests seems to be incredibly useful!

If I had a large mass of holy light energy and I could give it a soul, could I create a special kind of holy light life form similar to the Naaru?

Suddenly, an idea flashed into Rhodes' mind. In the past few days, Rhodes had extracted the soul energy of many priests and blood knights. These souls, which contained the power of holy light, had a very high affinity for holy light.

For classes that use the power of Holy Light, such as priests and paladins, this is a good deal!

How about we find the paladins of the Silver Hand and make a deal? Rhodes values ​​this incomparably holy energy.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. Rhodes put away half of Lyadrin's soul energy and combined the other half with the soul energy of a berserk werewolf that was about a hundred years old.

In addition to some flames he created himself, and with Liadrin infused with holy light, using the red flame gem as a vessel, he created a Homie for Liadrin that could cast holy light and manipulate the power of flames.

"Thank you for giving me life, Lord Rhodes, and my master."

"When we created you, we used the power of fire and holy light. Can you manipulate these two powers?" Rhodes asked.

“Yes, Lord Rhodes, I can unleash fire attacks, as well as holy light to attack enemies. I can also use holy light energy to heal my companions,” the Holy Light Flame Homie creation said.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded. Sure enough, his method worked. It seemed he needed to gather more souls imbued with divine energy.

Do you believe that I, Laozi, can create a Holy Light Naaru?

“I am very satisfied with this soul weapon. Thank you, Lord Rhodes. If you ever need to experience the greatness of the Holy Light again, please come to me anytime.” Liadrin kissed Rhodes’ cheek.

“Definitely, definitely,” Rhodes said.

"Hehe! I'm leaving now, Lord Rhodes. Remember to miss me!"

In the days that followed, Rhode continued to craft soul weapons and collect soul energy, especially the power of holy light.

A few days later, members of other tribes and races also arrived at Netherstorm and learned about the soul weapons that the blood elves had obtained.

Chapter 164 Heading to the Serpent Temple, Dragons of the Outer Realms

This made other tribes and races extremely envious. The tauren, trolls, and orcs of the tribe, and even the dwarves, gnomes, and humans of the Alliance, all envied this kind of soul weapon.

But an eleven-year lifespan is far too long for some short-lived races; after all, not everyone has the long lifespan of an elf!

However, the night elves were very interested in Rhodes's soul weapons. Some night elf druids, as well as night priestesses and female sentinels, chose to have Rhodes help them create the soul weapons.

However, their reward was not ten years, but a hundred years, which was a very short time for night elves. Some druids even slept for hundreds of years in the Emerald Dream.

Rhodes charged the same price to the night elves: a 1/10 fee. These night elf souls allowed Rhodes to accumulate a wave of soul energy with natural and moonlight attributes.

The tauren from the Horde and the dwarves from the Alliance, whose lifespans are several hundred years, were among the bolder ones who came to Rhodes to ask for his help in crafting soul weapons.

Eleven years of lifespan is not insurmountable for them. Among them are some dwarven paladins and tauren sunwalkers, which brings some holy souls into Rhodes' hands once again.

These sacred souls are precious, so Rhodes did not use them to make weapons, but instead chose some ordinary soul energy.

In any case, by infusing powerful holy light into the weapon during its creation, the soul weapon can also use holy light, and ordinary professionals cannot detect any flaws. Therefore, Rhode gladly accepted a large amount of paladin soul energy.

It's a pity! Some human paladins and draenei paladins didn't come to Rhodes to make soul weapons, even though Rhodes brought the floating fortress down and made it a true neutral zone.

On the Beasts Pirates' side, Rod used some of the soul energy of a berserk werewolf on his father-in-law Kaido and Yamato's spiked club to upgrade their weapons.

Make their weapons more ferocious, and their strength slightly improved.

"So you've been busy making these soul weapons all this time?" Sylvanas, who had just returned from Nagrand, looked at Rhodes and asked.

“That’s right! But this kind of soul weapon is not suitable for you Forsaken, since your soul power is immediately put on hold once it’s taken out,” Rhodes said.

There's no way around it; the Forsaken are undead, and extracting their soul power is equivalent to extracting their very essence, potentially killing them on the spot.

Therefore, the Forsaken are the least able to use soul weapons unless Rhodes is willing to pay for them out of his own pocket.

“That’s a real shame. I was hoping you could make one of these weapons for me!” Sylvanas said.

What's it like when your man makes all sorts of soul weapons for others, but you don't get any for yourself?

“Ordinary Forsaken won’t work, and neither will you. Besides, you’re the nemesis of this kind of soul weapon,” Rhodes said.

With the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), Sylvanas could easily use her ability to exorcise the dead to eliminate weak Homies if she wanted to.

Even her soul is immune to Rhodes' soul extraction, and some Homies are terrified of Sylvanas, so the Queen really has no way to obtain a soul weapon!

“Forget it, I don’t need my strength anyway, since I have you by my side! You can completely act as my close combat bodyguard,” Sylvanas said.

"Hmm! How did things go with the Horde on this trip to Nagrand?" Rhodes asked.

During this period, Rhodes has been holed up in the Netherstorm area. The Alliance and the Horde have entered Blade's Edge Mountains, and the conquest of Zangarmarsh has also begun, but they are still unable to enter Serpentshrine Cavern.

"Thrall personally went to Nagrand, and all the brown-skinned Mag'har orcs there, led by a man named Garrosh, have joined the Horde."

"There is also one of Thrall's relatives here, who should be his grandmother, named Gaiara. The Horde hero Rexxar has also returned to his homeland," Sylvanas said.

The tribe's strength has increased significantly. These Mag'har orcs have greatly enhanced the tribe's combat power, especially the orc race's strength.

"Okay! I understand. What are the next steps for the Horde and the Alliance?"

It looks like Young Hero Roar has already made his appearance!

"The newly joined Draenei, along with some natives of Zangarmarsh, have requested the Alliance's assistance in removing Vashj and her Serpent Shrine."

"They've built massive water pumps there, disrupting the already fragile ecological balance of Zangarmarsh. I reckon the Alliance will soon launch the Serpentshrine Cavern campaign," Sylvanas said.

"Hmm! Would you be interested in coming with me to the Alliance?"

Rhodes did not want to get involved in Lady Vashj's murder, as she was a die-hard fan of Illidan and was even willing to betray Azshara for Illidan's sake.

The crucial point is that the prerequisite quest to unlock Serpentshrine Cavern requires a trip to Karazhan, and some Bronze Dragonflights will come looking for you.

The famous Battle of Mount Hyjal, the opening of the Black Gate, and the opening of the Ancient War tours will also be available for tickets.

Rhodes was very unsure of what he was in the face of these bronze dragons after crossing over to the world of Azeroth.

In the early stages, Rhodes was very low-key and had no intention of changing history. However, after gaining power, he brought the Beast Pirates to join the tribe.

It even changed Kael'thas's fate of being killed.

However, this greatly changed the course of history. But Rhodes had Azeroth backing him up, so he was never afraid of these bronze dragons.

“You want me, a leader of the Forsaken, to go to the Alliance! Are you kidding me? The Alliance hates orcs, trolls, and the Forsaken,” Sylvanas said.

Although they have been reborn, the Forsaken are not much different from the Scourge undead in the Alliance.

If you, a Wilderness Demigod, went there, the Alliance would definitely give you a warm welcome, but it's different for me.

“Alright! This time, I’ll take Pudding and Yamato with me. You can stay here,” Rhodes said.

Sylvanas's identity is indeed not very suitable for her to be in the League's camp.

Over the next few days, Rhode arranged for his clone to stay there and continue crafting soul weapons to earn souls.

Whether it's Blood Elves, Night Elves, Tauren, or Dwarves, as long as they can afford the price, they'll accept all comers.

A few days later, Rhodes arrived with Yamato, Pudding, Liadrin (who had joined temporarily), and the astrologer adjutant Caponia.

Together, they rode on Rhodes's newly modified mount, a giant flying carpet, towards Zangarmarsh.

The two blood elf girls originally intended to go to Shattrath City to see what the scout forces who had already surrendered to the Naaru had to say.
