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

The Eternals immediately convened an emergency meeting. The eldest daughter, Gristia, the Queen of Winter, and Denathius gathered together. Why were only the three of them there?

Because Zovar has been sealed away, and the Lord of War disappeared many years ago, there are only three Eternals in the entire Shadowlands who can move freely now.

After investigation, the three powerful Eternals discovered some clues: these missing souls were summoned to the world of the living by a very special spell.

This greatly surprised the three immortals.

What exactly happened in the world of the living? Why are souls being summoned away one after another during this period?

"It was my Citadel of Ascension a while ago, and now it's Revendres," said the eldest daughter, Gristia.

"These living people, they always like to do some superfluous things, researching forbidden spells. I'm almost impressed by them," Emperor Denathius said.

What amazing magic! It can secretly summon souls away from Revendreth and even from Bastion.

Why haven't my dreadlords sent any news? With such a powerful figure emerging, they should at least give some information.

It seems my creations have been slacking off lately.

"If it truly is the existence of the living world, and it has summoned these souls away, then there is nothing we can do. We cannot interfere in anything concerning the living world." The eldest daughter, Gristia, shook her head helplessly.

Years ago, they intervened in the affairs of the mortal world, which attracted the Holy Light Legion. These powerful beings of the Holy Light caused immense destruction to their Shadowlands and forced them to refrain from interfering in the world of the living.

Although they only invaded Revendres, and it was Emperor Denathrius who brought this upon himself.

"Don't forget, the Queen of Winter has a sister, and she and Elune from the living world are sisters."

"You'll help us, won't you? Queen of Winter, find out what's going on over there." Emperor Denathius gave a playful smile and looked at the Queen of Winter.

They in the Shadowlands aren't blind; they can see many things, such as the dreadlords they secretly cultivate.

This Queen of Winter is actually Elune from the living world, and they are sisters.

Even the souls of many night elves, after their deaths, are sent by the moon goddess Elon to Ardenweald and given to the Queen of Winter.

"It's just three souls. We usually lose a lot of souls to extract anima. I don't want to go to my sister for such a small matter," the Queen of Winter said, shaking her head.

Whether it's Revendreth, Maldraxxus, or Bastion, Ardenweald will consume a certain amount of souls. It's just that three souls are summoned away, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.

After a soul arrives in the world of the living, it is constantly being consumed, either becoming the currency or the energy source.

Only a handful of once incredibly powerful mortals can become members of this place after arriving in the Shadowlands.

Most souls are destined to be consumed and then scattered by the wind, so Warden Zoval believes this is unfair and that the rules set by the Eternals are wrong.

Or perhaps the rules set by the Creators are wrong; they are not really in the Shadowlands, and there is no fairness whatsoever.

"Today there are three souls, tomorrow there may be thirty, and the day after tomorrow there may be three hundred. If we let this behavior go unchecked, the other party will become more and more unscrupulous."

"In the future, he might summon all the souls of the Shadowlands away, which is a huge problem." Emperor Denathrius smiled and threw the question back to the Queen of Winter.

This is no small matter! It concerns the very essence of the Shadowlands. Although only a few souls have been summoned so far, they must know what is going on.

"Denasius is right. Now that the Lord of War has disappeared, we suspected that Zovar was involved in this matter."

But now it seems that it might be related to those living people, and we must investigate thoroughly.” The eldest daughter, Gristia, also stood on the same side as Emperor Denathrius and began to put pressure on the Queen of Winter.

"Alright, I'll return to Ardenweald and summon Elune again." The Winter Queen said with a hint of helplessness as she looked at her brothers and sisters.

The meeting ended unhappily, and the three Eternals returned to their respective regions.

In Ardenweald, the Winter Queen first contacted her sister Elune.

"My sister, I have something to ask you. Some strange things have been happening in the Shadowlands recently, and I hope you can help me understand them," the Queen of Winter said.

"I knew you'd summon my sister. What do you want to ask? Is it the birth of a new Wilderness demigod or something else?"

In just a few years, two Wildborns will be born in Azeroth, and their mark will be placed on their sister, except for Rhodes, of course.

Rhodes' life mark is bound to Azeroth, and recently the Wildlands demigods have all been resurrected from the Emerald Dream.

Her sister was probably a little suspicious, so Elune rushed over immediately after receiving her sister's call.

"I don't want to talk about the Demigods of the Wilderness; that's a matter for the living, and I have no right to interfere."

The problem is that recently a mysterious entity has been summoning souls from the Shadowlands through some means. Three souls have been summoned in total. (Note: Grommash Hellscream's soul was summoned without their knowledge, as the Eternals cannot control what happens in the Maw.)

"What? My sister, you're saying that souls have been summoned from the Shadowlands, that someone has stolen souls from the Shadowlands!" Elune's eyes widened in disbelief.

Please, what is the Shadowlands? It was created by the First Ones to be the place for the dead of Azeroth.

Without the Shadowlands, the souls of Azeroth would be homeless. (It's actually a bit funny, the Shadowlands are such a tiny place, yet they manage all the souls that have existed in the universe since time immemorial. But before the Shadowlands existed, there were countless soul weapons and ghostly monsters in their soul form.)

"That's right, someone summoned a soul from Bastion a few months ago."

"And just a few days ago, someone summoned two souls from Denathrius' territory." The Queen of Winter told her sister the whole story.

Upon hearing her explanation, a name immediately popped into Elune's mind; this matter was definitely related to him!

"My sister, please reassure the other two Eternals first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly soon," Elune said to the Queen of Winter.

I'll probably have to make the trip myself. What on earth did that bastard Rhodes do?

She had recently heard from some night elves' conversations that Rhodes had created a spell that could resurrect the dead.

It's one thing for you to resurrect the undead of Azeroth, but you actually stole things from the Shadowlands.

As for the resurrection ability of the God of Light, it must be related to Rhodes, since the God of Light was created by Rhodes.

"I will, my dear sister. You have sent so many souls here over the years, which has been of great help to me. I will buy you some time."

"At the same time, I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer." The Queen of Winter said meaningfully.

She could tell that her younger sister seemed to be hiding something, and that she might know some of the truth.

After they finished talking, the two sisters went their separate ways.

Inside the Temple of the Moon Goddess, Tyrande, whose belly was already slightly swollen, lay lazily on the bed, receiving life energy from two wild demigods in turn.

She could feel her child growing up healthily. A few nights ago, Rod secretly came over and learned the whole truth from her.

Rhodes didn't blame her for concealing the truth; instead, he comforted her.

Now Rhodes would occasionally come over and contribute some life energy essence to Tyrande, but his method of contribution was somewhat special, it was a primitive life infusion.

Tyrande was very worried that this brutal approach would harm the new Wild Demigod, but Rhodes said that the Wild Demigod was not that fragile, and that the intake of life essence would be very beneficial to his growth.

More importantly, having lost the possession of Azeroth, the life essence that Rhode once again infused into Tyrande would only be the most primal life force.

Enhance the new Wilderness Demigod, allowing him to grow stronger and healthier.

Everything was for her child, and Tyrande chose to accept it, with Rhodes occasionally infusing her with life energy.

And every night at night, all the priests in the temple were cleansed in preparation for the arrival of the demigods.

Just then, Elune's statue lit up with a blue and white light, and the pure white statue opened its eyes to look at Tyrande.

"Great Elune." Tyrande immediately stood up to pay her respects, but Elune stopped her.

"There's no need for this, Tyrande. There's no need for us to do this. You used to be my Priestess of the Moon, but now your identity has changed. You are the physical mother of the new Wilderness Demigod."

"This identity is truly overwhelming; I don't even know how to face Malfurion," Tyrande said, somewhat flustered.

Every time I've recently been infused with the life essence and life force of a demigod, it's been a betrayal of him.

"Let's talk about these things later. Malfurion is still asleep! He might sleep for a thousand years, and besides, you two aren't even married yet!" Elune said.

This is indeed a problem, after all, it involves Rhodes.

Malfurion is in very bad shape right now, and Tyrande probably won't try to save him. Maybe you should just let things take their course? He'll probably be corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare, right?

Elune had a little plan in mind: all she had to do was eliminate evil. Sometimes, she didn't have to lift a finger to do certain things.

"That being said, I can't possibly become Rhodes' woman, so let's keep this relationship a secret!"

There's nothing we can do about it; this demigod has just too many spouses! Among them is even the great Azeroth.

Good heavens! Why did I make such a crazy request back then?

"Let's get down to business! Tyrande, I've come to see you this time because I need your help! When Rhodes comes next time, please ask him about it for me."

Did he secretly summon the souls of the Shadowlands? Now the rulers of the Shadowlands have discovered this.

"What! Rhodes actually summoned a soul from the Shadowlands? No problem, Elune, I'll ask him about it next time he comes over," Tyrande nodded and said.

This kid is getting bolder and bolder, daring to interfere in the affairs of the Shadowlands. The combined combat power of the Eternals in the Shadowlands is even stronger than that of the Guardians and is comparable to that of the Old Gods in their prime.

"Tell him that if he really did it, then I can help him cover it up."

"But he'd better not summon any more souls, otherwise I won't be able to help him. He can't withstand several Eternals now," Elune said.

Tyrande nodded, and after a few more words, the statue of Elune lost its light, and the goddess of the moon departed.

That evening, after dealing with some matters in Undercity, Rhodes once again traveled through the portal to the Temple of the Moon in Silithus.

"Did you miss me? Tyrande, you actually contacted me first. Usually, I'm the one who comes to you. This is the first time you've contacted me!" Rhodes said as he stepped through the portal.

Indeed, today is the first time he has received Tyrande's summons. Tyrande would never have contacted him before.

"Please, you're a demigod, or even soon a true god. You should have some divine image. I have serious business with you this time," Tyrande said, patting the grotesque handkerchief at her waist.

"Tell me what's wrong. Is my son's life energy insufficient? I'll give you some more."

"No, the moon goddess Elune just contacted me. She told me something. You've invented a new resurrection technique. Did you summon souls from the Shadowlands?"

"Yes, I did summon a few souls from the Shadowlands. Is there a problem?"

"As expected, it was you who did it. You even asked me what went wrong. You summoned the souls of the dead from the Shadow Realm. This is a big deal!"

"The balance between life and death cannot be easily broken," Tyrande questioned Elune, the Eternal One of the Shadowlands.

"So what do the people of the Shadowlands want? Do you know that the souls of Azeroth also suffer terribly there, having their anima extracted?"

"After excessive exploitation of one's soul energy, the entire soul will dissipate." (End of Chapter)
