They watched the purification process, their eyes filled with awe and shock.
Obsidian was not distracted by the arrival of the Blue Dragons; his molten-gold vertical pupils remained focused on the group of Black Dragon eggs being purified beneath his palm.
Nefarian stopped, bowed his head slightly, and quietly waited for the purification ritual to be completed.
The Blue Dragons following him did the same.
The last wisp of viscous, corrupting black mist let out a desperate shriek under the golden-red divine light, then was completely annihilated, turning into nothingness.
All the Black Dragon eggs had been purified.
Obsidian retracted his dragon claw, and the divine light enveloping the area also receded.
His vertical pupils turned towards the newly arrived Blue Dragon party, and his voice was low and grand:
"Welcome to the Glimmering Dream, members of the Blue Dragonflight."
He pointed to the golden forest, "This, is a part of the Emerald Dream, and also the nursery I prepared for the Dragon race."
"This place is deeply influenced by the World Tree 'Dracofyrrassil,' so the power of order is more prominently displayed here, and the flow of life follows specific Veins (channels/patterns)."
His wording was vague, not explicitly stating that this ordered environment was the result of his own power's deep intervention.
Malygos ignored Obsidian's explanation and went straight to the point.
He took out a spherical artifact—the focusing iris.
This sapphire-like orb harnessed the energy lines of Azeroth's entire Arcane Web.
"Your Majesty, Emberglow Dragon," his voice was deep, with a hint of undetectable tension, and flames burned deep in his dragon eyes, "the focusing iris is here. We have brought the price for resurrecting my beloved."
Then, he raised his head, "So, regarding Neltharion, what are the 'evidence' and 'plan' you promised?"
"I need to know! Why did he betray us? What was the source of his power? And what was his—ultimate goal?!"
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became; a thousand years of pain and hatred erupted at this moment.
Obsidian calmly met Malygos's gaze, "His fall originated from the erosion of the Old Gods' whispers, truly N'Zoth's masterpiece."
"His madness, power, and destruction—the root and evidence of all this cannot be explained in a few words."
His voice was calm, "This is not the place to discuss these matters in detail. Follow me."
Before he finished speaking, Obsidian's front claw gently swiped at the void.
The portal to the divine realm of Serakhen thus opened.
Obsidian was the first to step through.
Malygos did not hesitate, a flap of his dragon wings, he followed closely, his figure disappearing behind the portal.
Sindragosa nodded lightly to Senergos, then spread her wings and flew in.
The spatial portal then closed, as if it had never appeared.
In the clearing of the Glimmering Dream, only two Black Dragons and a few Blue Dragons remained.
The atmosphere relaxed considerably.
Nefarian turned to Senergos and his group, "Thank you all for delivering them on time. Next, please follow me to the designated hatching area for the Blue Dragon eggs."
He motioned for the Dragons to follow him, and walked along the path towards the other side of the forest.
Along the way, he raised a claw and pointed to the Black Dragon eggs, which had been purified and were now being moved to a specific area by Adamanthea and two other Blue Dragons.
"These Black Dragon eggs," Nefarian explained, "were rescued from deep within the Obsidian Sanctum by Andestrasz, Vinagosa, and Adamanthea."
"After returning from the Forbidden Isolated Island, Adamanthea proposed this plan."
"She felt that these unborn hatchlings were more worth saving than my father."
"My mentor lent them a bit of power, and they successfully brought back nearly a hundred of these dragon eggs."
"They will now be incubated in the prepared lava ley lines, which simulate the preferred environment of Black Dragons."
As they spoke, they had already arrived at a relatively open area at the edge of the Gilded Forest.
The golden light here was no longer as dazzling, but this was not because they were approaching the edge of Obsidian's sphere of influence.
Instead, it was because the ground was covered by an entire expanse of tranquil, unruffled ponds, like liquid sapphires—a pool of arcane energy composed entirely of liquid arcane energy.
The pool water emitted a soft blue light, and the energy fluctuations were stable and pure, making it an excellent environment for hatching Blue Dragon eggs.
"Arcane Pool." Nefarian stopped, "The energy concentration and stability here have been precisely calibrated, fully meeting the ideal conditions for hatching Blue Dragon eggs."
"In addition, oval-shaped indentations have been specially installed at the bottom of the pond for easy placement of dragon eggs."
Senergos looked at the pure arcane energy pool before him, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
"Kael, and little—Stella, the task of moving the dragon eggs is entrusted to you."
The two Blue Dragons behind him stepped forward as instructed, carefully disarming the container's protective field, and gently placing the Blue Dragon eggs one by one into the perfectly fitting, specially made indentations at the bottom of the Arcane Pool.
The arcane pool water gently enveloped the dragon eggs, nourishing the life within them.
Once all the Blue Dragon eggs were properly placed, Nefarian turned his gaze to Andestrasz and Vinagosa, who were rushing over.
They had just finished handling the Black Dragon eggs.
After landing, they each took out dozens of eggs of various shapes.
These eggs were slightly smaller than the Blue Dragon eggs, and their shell colors were also richer and more diverse.
Andestrasz and Vinagosa carefully placed these eggs into the constant-temperature container that had previously held the Blue Dragon eggs.
The arcane field inside the container reactivated, adjusting to a stable environment suitable for them.
"These are samples from my mentor's research," Nefarian explained to Senergos, "They will be taken back to The Nexus by Andestrasz and Vinagosa for observation and cultivation in the previously designated area."
"They are another mortal species created by the Emberglow Dragon—Dragonborn."
