The temptation of immortality to intelligent life is undoubtedly immense; at least, the Mages of Ereylas could not refuse this temptation.
Prince Tothsedrin also could not refuse this temptation; his only concern was his treatment.
However, after Tydas had a private talk with him, his worries disappeared.
Because he had previously shut Venas out, showing tendencies towards division, his noble title was demoted to Duke.
Tothsedrin found this a bit hard to accept, but Tydas told him that only royalty could be titled a Prince. Currently, Tydas was the only Prince in the entire Empire; if Tothsedrin still wanted to be a Prince, he would have to acknowledge Gale as his godfather.
Setting aside whether Tothsedrin would agree, Gale certainly would not.
Tothsedrin could only accept it helplessly.
His other treatments, however, were quite good. Ereylas remained Tothsedrin's fiefdom, but Tothsedrin needed to go to Nordrassil and could only return to inherit Ereylas after he had descendants.
The Mages of Ereylas were also dispersed, except for a few dozen loyal to Tothsedrin who remained under his command. Whether they helped him manage Ereylas or followed him to Nordrassil was entirely up to Tothsedrin's arrangement.
The other Mages were reassigned to various other places or joined the army.
Tothsedrin's past record meant he could not gain trust like Moon Rage and Ravencrest.
Upon arriving at Nordrassil, Tothsedrin and the Mages were astonished to see a city even larger than Sindorei. When they heard that Nordrassil was only established after the War of the Ancients, they were even more surprised and could not believe their ears.
Gale was quite satisfied with Tydas's decision, even though doing so would leave a hidden danger for the Kaldorei Empire. However, a benevolent monarch was a blessing for the Empire.
Coupled with the presence of the five regents, Gale confidently entrusted the Empire to Tydas.
Gale officially opened the portal to the Other Space, incorporating Sky City and the Sun Temple into it.
Sky City took away half of the Kaldorei Empire's army and a large number of spellcasters.
However, the main forces of the Kaldorei Empire remained untouched. The powerful navy was completely left behind, only changing commanders. Garrosh and Carlos resigned from the navy, and the commanders of the Shadowsong Fleet and the Morning Light Fleet were replaced by Nalas Shadowsong and Pisaster Morning Light.
Nalas was Maiev and Garrosh's cousin and had always been a high-ranking naval officer, making his succession to the Shadowsong Fleet legitimate.
Pisaster had previously worked in the Ministry of Commerce and had no combat experience, let alone naval combat experience. However, the Morning Light Fleet had to have a Morning Light Family commander, and besides Tydas, Carlos, and Rielly, only Pisaster had the prestige. Equipping him with a capable deputy could solve the combat issues.
The Storm Dragon Knight Regiment remained intact, while the Eternal Knight Order was taken away. Half of the Hippogryph Knight Order and Night Saber Knights were taken away, while Alpha Squad and Drogon Riders were left behind.
Therefore, although the Kaldorei Empire's army was reduced, its foundation was not damaged. The dangers in Azeroth had been largely cleared, and there should not be a major threat in the short term.
After entering the Other Space, Gale began internal consolidation of the Other Space, and the daily operations of Sky City could only be entrusted to Maiev.
Irene volunteered to help Maiev, and Maiev, pestered by her, had no choice but to agree to keep her by her side. As long as she didn't cause trouble for Gale, anything else was fine.
On the second day of entering the Other Space, Gale led thousands of Mages to begin work. The internal space needed to be reinforced; once a war broke out within the space, even demigods could cause the space to collapse.
Therefore, the space reinforcement work was endless; the more solid, the better.
For reinforcement, Gale made a deal with the Water Elementals and Earth Element, acquiring a large amount of magical materials from the Water Elemental Plane and the Earth Element Realm.
He also created a giant eternal holy grail in the center of Sky City. The bottom of the holy grail was connected to the aluneth world.
This would be the energy source for the Other Space; although not comparable to the Well of Eternity, it was sufficient for the Other Space's use.
Endless energy was the guarantee for the operation of the Other Space and Sky City; otherwise, no matter how strong Sky City's defense mechanisms were, they could not be utilized.
In fact, Gale's most preferred energy source was the two forges that could absorb void energy. Unfortunately, Gale never had the opportunity to perform arcane analysis on the two forges.
Fortunately, Norgannon's soul fragment mentioned the principle of the forges, and Gale needed to spend a lot of time experimenting. Therefore, until the forges could be built, only the large eternal holy grail could be used for a while.
This busy period lasted for several centuries. By this time, the Other Space was already filled with the four elements, and under the guidance of the Druids, Sky City had surprisingly become a small world with a complete circulatory system.
Seeing that the space reinforcement was almost complete, Gale then drew out a portion of the Mages to prepare for the second step: connecting Ganil, the Mother Tree.
Ganil possesses powerful energy; once connected to Ganil, it would be easy to open teleportation arrays to various parts of Azeroth.
At that time, not much energy would be needed to operate these teleportation arrays, fulfilling the vision of global troop deployment from the Other Space.
Connecting Ganil, the Mother Tree, was not a simple matter; first, an anchor point was needed.
The eternal holy grail that Gale left in the Emerald Dream could serve as this anchor point. However, some adjustments were needed, as the eternal holy grail was located below Ganil, not in its canopy.
Secondly, the power to break space was needed. The eternal spear and the eye of amanthul both possessed such abilities.
To ensure success, Gale embedded the eye of amanthul into the eternal spear.
He came before the large eternal holy grail, raised the eternal spear, and the Rainbow Bridge impacted the top of the Other Space.
The powers of the eternal spear and the eye of amanthul converged, easily breaking through the spatial restrictions and connecting the Rainbow Bridge to the eternal holy grail in the Emerald Dream.
Gale made slight adjustments, then continuously expanded the Rainbow Bridge, and the canopy of Ganil, the Mother Tree, gradually passed through the spatial rift and extended into the Other Space.
Thousands of Mages immediately began casting spells to reinforce the spatial rift, then virtualized the spatial rift, allowing the Other Space and the Emerald Dream to overlap, with the overlapping part being Ganil's canopy.
Ganil's canopy henceforth belonged neither to the Emerald Dream nor to the Other Space, but it closely linked the Emerald Dream and the Other Space together.
Around the large eternal holy grail, a tree-shaped platform covered with plants appeared, and a teleportation gate gradually formed. Looking into the teleportation gate, the situation under Ganil was clearly visible.
Gale stepped into the Emerald Dream, looking around in surprise, wondering where Aviana had gone.
