In Sky City, everyone knelt on the ground. They were awed by the powerful aura emanating from Gale, a power that felt as if a single glance could reduce them to ashes.
Fortunately, the aura came and went quickly. Gale reined in his power, but his majesty was omnipresent. The Sun Temple, even more so, warmed Sky City like the Sun.
Among the crowd, the Flame Elves looked at Gale with fanaticism. In Sky City, they and the Werewolves were non-mainstream existences. Now that King Gale had also merged with the flames, didn't it mean that their chosen path was not wrong?
"Sun God..."
The Flame Elves first called Gale the Sun God, and other Elves quickly followed suit. Besides the title of a god, they couldn't think of how else to describe Gale's power.
Although all Kaldorei were followers of Elune, believing Elune to be the only god in the world.
But that was no longer the case!
They didn't know how powerful Elune was, as none of them had ever seen Elune. Even Maiev, these priests, who had contact with Elune, didn't believe Elune was more powerful than Gale.
For a true comparison, Elune would have to descend. However, for thousands of years, Elune had shown no intention of returning to the mortal world.
When Gale teleported back to Sky City, where the Rainbow Bridge landed, the stone slab was scorched with complex Runestone patterns. This was something new, a change brought about by the Sun God Power.
After the bright light faded, everyone could finally look at Gale directly.
Maiev walked over with a complex expression, "You're back?"
"Father King—"
Aileen and Nordrassil also rushed over.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Gale asked, "Have you not found the coordinates of the real world yet?"
"We've found them," Maiev said. "It's just that we haven't determined a suitable location yet, so we haven't opened the Portal. The Mages think we should build a dedicated teleportation platform, just like the Titan Portal."
"That's a good idea."
Gale agreed with the idea; if a Titan Portal could be built, teleportation could be very fast.
"However, this would consume a large amount of precious ores and magical materials, and it would also require a powerful energy source to sustain the Portal's operation. If the Portal is only opened for a short time, Sky City can manage, but if it's opened for a long time, even the eternal holy grail wouldn't be able to support such a vast energy consumption."
"Don't worry about the energy; first open the Portal connecting to Nordrassil," Gale said. "We can use Runestone to replace precious materials. While this will increase the size of the Portal, it will save a lot of materials. The Portal to Nordrassil will use a Titan Portal, and all others will use Runestone Portals."
Using Runestone to build a Portal wasn't a sudden whim of Gale's; the Portal on the Well of Eternity was built this way. It was just that due to the great distance from the Twisting Nether, many artifacts were added to the Runestone.
The Other Space and the real world are close, so only Runestone is needed to open a Portal. Speaking of Runestone Portals, one cannot help but mention the Dark Portal.
The Dark Portal is also a type of Runestone Portal; although it is built from stacked stones, it is a single, entire Runestone. Therefore, by destroying the frame, the Portal can be closed.
This technology seems simple, but it is actually very advanced. The framework has almost no technical content, but if a key is added, interdimensional teleportation can be initiated, which is very suitable for the Burning Legion.
It had been over a thousand years since he left the real world, and although he could contact the real world through the Emerald Dream, the Emerald Dream could not transmit physical bodies. Whether in the real world or Sky City, only souls could enter the Emerald Dream, while bodies remained in place.
Information could be exchanged, and items could be transferred, but mutual support was not possible. Therefore, the Portal still had to be opened; only then could strategic objectives be achieved.
On the central platform, a teleportation location had long been reserved for Nordrassil. It was a platform with a pool, backed by a mountain-shaped barrier, mirroring Nordrassil's terrain of front sea and back mountains.
The Mages built a Titan Portal on the platform, and on Gale's platform, he opened the Titan Portal with the eternal spear.
The Rainbow Bridge broke through the spatial barrier and landed directly on Tynoan Plaza in Nordrassil City.
This change alerted the Nordrassil guards, but upon seeing the Rainbow Bridge, they immediately shouted excitedly, "King Gale is back!!!"
Soon, all the Kaldorei in the city heard this message. Countless people rushed towards Tynoan Plaza, wanting to see Gale at the first opportunity.
Gale stepped out of the Rainbow Bridge and plunged the eternal spear into the Rainbow Bridge. This way, the Rainbow Bridge's operation could be continuously maintained.
He opened his magic pouch, took out the materials inside, and began building a Titan Portal around the Rainbow Bridge.
The surrounding Kaldorei watched Gale work, not daring to step forward and disturb him.
Soon, Metri and other Royal Mages arrived to help Gale with the construction.
An hour later, the Titan Portal was completed.
Gale guided the Rainbow Bridge to the Titan Portal, and the Rainbow Bridge immediately contracted, fully entering the Titan Portal.
With the Titan Portal completed, Maiev and others streamed out. The surrounding Kaldorei immediately erupted in cheers, welcoming everyone's return.
"Long live King Gale!!!"
"Long live the Kaldorei Empire!!!"
"May the Heavens bless the Kaldorei!!!"
Tydasshid, accompanied by five regents, stepped forward, "Father King, you've finally returned."
Gale looked at his somewhat unfamiliar eldest son and asked with a smile, "It seems you've done well; you haven't caused any major trouble, have you?"
Carlos: "No major trouble, but quite a few minor ones."
Tydasshid quickly reported to Gale that over the past thousand years, the Kaldorei Empire had developed rapidly. It now had a population of over ten million.
The Broken Isles and Redridge Mountain had been developed to their fullest, housing a large population. Ports like Darkmoon City were bustling with merchant ships, prosperous and thriving.
Only Dalaran and Stormwind City were constantly at war with the Trolls. Dalaran, with human help, completely held the upper hand. But Stormwind City could only engage in a war of attrition with the Trolls in the forests.
Tydasshid used these two battlefields as training grounds, rotating soldiers every few years to train them through combat.
As for the minor troubles Carlos mentioned, these were the rebellious Sindorei Mages and the resurgence of the Naga.
The former was quickly quelled, and the latter, with the cooperation of the Imperial Navy and Water Elementals, posed no great threat to the naval sphere of influence, with the Sea Monster Killer playing a decisive role.
However, the Naga also became clever, developing in waters outside the Imperial Navy's shipping lanes. After accumulating strength, they would come to harass and attack, becoming the Imperial Navy's most stubborn enemy.
