Although the remnant soul of Xal'atath residing in the Blade of the Dark Empire has been cleared away by Sharlayan, the aggressiveness of this magic weapon dagger against souls has not been greatly affected by this.

Sarlayan only annihilated Xal'atath's will in the remnant soul, but kept the remnant soul intact, and spawned a new consciousness like a blank sheet of paper from this remnant soul.

This newly born will naturally became the weapon spirit of the Blade of the Dark Empire. Although it could not completely make up for the loss after losing Xal'atath, it could at least ensure that the quality of this magic weapon short knife would not decline off a cliff.

As a creature of the void side, the Double Realm Walker can clearly sense the threat that the Blade of the Dark Empire may pose to him. Once this thing is inserted into his body, it will be difficult for his soul to find a good end.

In such a contrast, the promise given by Sarlayan seems to be very valuable.

As a big boss on the void side, although Dual World Walker has never personally entered the Shadow Realm, he is no stranger to the term itself and its meaning. He knows that the Shadow Realm is the final destination of all souls in the material universe and the paradise of the dead. .

The dual realm walker is neither stupid nor naive. He knows that Sarlayan will definitely not let him go. In this case, it is time to start thinking about what happens after him.

"Very good, refreshing."

Seeing that the dual realm walker surrendered, Sarlayan squatted down with satisfaction and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "First of all, I want to know what the situation is like with your masters now."

"The Lord of the Void? Haha~" The Dual Realm Walker, who was out of breath due to serious injuries, laughed at himself: "I want to correct one thing first. The Lord of the Void is indeed the apex of all void creatures in theory, but they Not my master, never has been."

"Oh?" Sarlayan asked with interest, "Elaborate."

Through the unabashed explanation of the Dual Realm Walker, Sarlayan roughly understood the relationship between him and the Lord of the Void.

To use an example that is easy for people in Azeroth to understand, the Lord of the Void is equivalent to the Titan of the Pantheon, while the dual realm walker's status on the Void side is similar to that of Jaina... or Aegwynn who has no direct connection with the Pantheon. , Medivh, they all mean the same thing anyway.

The Lord of the Void knew about the existence of the Double Realm Walker, and had always wanted to take him as his direct subordinate to assist them in completing their grand plan to transform the material universe.

However, the Dual Realm Walker, who has always been alone and accustomed to freedom, does not want to be a dog for others, nor does he have any intention to work with those Void Seeds - the Ancient Gods - whose appearance and mind are equally twisted.

In terms of positioning, Dual Realm Walker does belong to the Void Side, but there is no deep connection between him and the Void King. He is an independent and powerful individual on the Void Side.

According to Dual Realm Walker himself, since the destruction of Void Spirit's home planet, he was infected by the power of void that escaped in the universe by chance, and was transformed into his current posture.

The Dual Realm Walker is very talented in the way of the void. In just tens of thousands of years, he has grown from an unknown void spirit exile to a big boss that even the Lord of the Void is trying to win over.

However, for Void Spirit, individuals like Dual Realm Walker who can perfectly suppress the power of void in the body are only special cases after all, similar to what evil energy does to Illidan.

The Dual Realm Walker, who did not want to be under the command of the Lord of the Void, gradually came to understand his own special features and came up with the idea of ​​forming his own force. He hoped that he could use his experience in perfectly controlling the power of the void to transform...or transform into something better. Many like-minded compatriots.

This is how the Shadow Guard Void Spirit, which once left a great reputation in the Eredas region, was born.

However, the good times did not last long.

The power of the void is like evil energy, constantly eroding the will of the holder.

As the source of the power of the void, the Lord of the Void is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed by all individuals who master the power of the void.

Not everyone can be as special as Dual Realm Walker. The Shadow Guard Void Spirit, which he personally formed, encountered big troubles during its development.

As those shadow guard ethereal spirits walked farther and farther on the road to the void, the King of the Void's sight was projected over them as expected.

Under the temptation of the Lord of the Void's constant whispers, almost all the Shadow Guard Void Spirits were addicted to the beautiful future described by those visitors from outside. Under the temptation of power, they gradually changed the principles of restraint and spiritual discipline taught by the Double Realm Walkers. Ideas left behind.

As a result, the Shadow Guard Void Spirit completely broke away from the control of the Dual Realm Walker and completely became a lackey under the Lord of the Void.

After encountering a major defeat, the Double Realm Walker did not immediately give up on the Shadow Guard Void Spirits who betrayed him, but hid in the dark and continued to observe their subsequent progress.

That's right, Dual Realm Walker regards his fellow Shadow Guard Void Spirits as guinea pigs for experiments, and they are considered waste for him to reuse.

Over the years, through the secret surveillance of the Shadow Guard Void Spirits, and the information he repeatedly obtained from them when he was recruited by the Lord of the Void in the early years, the Double Realm Walker has mastered a lot of information related to the Lord of the Void. .

At least in terms of intelligence about the void side, he knew more information than the Pantheon Titans who were not specialized in this.

After learning all the valuable information from the Double Realm Walker, Sarlayan fulfilled his promise, gave the half-dead Double Realm Walker a happy ending, and personally opened the door to the Shadow Realm and sent him to Oribos for acceptance. arbitration.

This is not because Sarlayan gives special preferential treatment to the dual realm walkers, but because after the AI ​​arbitrator went down, the arbitration system of the Shadow Realm was temporarily suspended.

If a dual realm walker is sent to the Shadow Realm through conventional means, there is a certain probability that he will be thrust into the Maw without trial.

The decisive battle in the Shadow Realm is approaching, and Sharlayan does not want to send ammunition to the Maw at this time.

Although the strength of the Double Realm Walker is already among the top ranks among demigods, his ending is predictable when facing the true god-level Denathrius and Warden Zoval.

Speaking of the suspension of the arbitration system in the Shadow Realm, Sarlayan also had a headache.

Since there is no Denathrius to interfere, after the AI ​​Arbiter goes down, all the souls flowing into the Shadow Realm will not be poured into the Maw, but will be randomly distributed among the Maw, Oribos and the four major kingdoms.

Sarlayan didn't want to gamble with the odds, so he simply personally led the soul of the dual realm walker to Oribos and handed it directly into the hands of the God-Server.

"so."

When Sarlayan came to the eternal city of Oribos, the three Eternals gathered here as expected and were having a heated discussion on who should succeed the Arbitrator.

"Did you come to a final conclusion?"

"Hey~"

The soldier rubbed his brows with a headache: "That's the problem. None of the three of us are confident that we can handle the mess left by Zoval."

Sarlayan shrugged nonchalantly: "There is nothing to worry about. The AI ​​arbitrator is only temporarily down due to a program error, and it is not impossible to recover forever."

"With the help of this intelligent program with astonishing computing power, the succeeding arbitrator only needs to make his own decisions on certain major issues."

"That's what I said." The Winter Queen smiled bitterly and spread her hands: "Forget it, Sarlayan is not an outsider, so I will tell the truth."

“The problem is not that the arbitrator’s job is difficult, but that we all can’t let go of the ‘old nest’ that we have worked so hard for countless years.”

"Understood." Sarlayan joked: "To put it simply, path dependence? None of you three want to take the initiative to jump out of your comfort zone."

"But this problem still needs to be solved. If the position of the Arbitrator is allowed to remain vacant, even if only one-sixth of all souls entering the Shadow Realm can be obtained on average, considering the total number of people who die every day in the universe... you You can settle the account yourself."

"To put it bluntly, this is an act of siding with the enemy. The longer it takes, the better it will be for Zoval and Denathrius." (End of Chapter)
