Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Bonus Map Special Commentary Mode: Your unintentional actions have once again changed the course of world history. This scene will be remembered throughout history: Dwarves in yellow turbans, scattered across the mountains, rushed out of their homes and descended upon the palace. If nothing had changed, the dragon Smaug would have entered the Lonely Mountain four years later, completely destroying the Dwarf Kingdom and forcing the Dwarf King Thor to flee. Now, he may have to flee even before that.

This uprising broke out quite suddenly. The guards of the Kingdom of Elbor didn't even have time to react before a massive army of yellow-turbaned dwarven rebels rushed to the palace. Facing the tightly closed door, you drew your staff and unleashed a lightning strike without hesitation, calling down the thunder and lightning.

[Of course, you still shouted those words: I, Zhou Ning, beg the Dwarf King to die!] Amid the rumbling thunder, you saw Thor I's face pale with fear.

Suddenly, widespread lightning ravaged the entire palace, even splitting the city gates. This miracle immediately ignited the fighting spirit of the dwarves. Led by the Earth Lord General Brivif Stonefist and the Human Lord General Bix, they stormed the palace. The Dwarf King Thor I, his son Thorn, and his grandson Thorin were all arrested.

[According to public opinion, you will execute Thor I and exile Thorn and Thorin as commoners. Although Thorin will become very powerful according to the original plot, this dwarf with only ordinary courage is not worthy of being your opponent.]

After dealing with the royal family, you naturally became the new king, placing the crown on your head yourself. The Yellow Turbans became the state religion. With both royal and religious authority, you became the true ruler of the kingdom. You also obtained the unique gem, said to have the power to influence people's hearts. (You obtained the epic item: the Arkon Gem.)

This gem symbolizes the status of the Dwarven King of the Durin Dynasty. It signifies the sanctity of the Dwarven King's rule, and all must worship him. It's truly a rare treasure. But you're unmoved by it. You've set it atop your scepter. Now, every time you cast magic, it creates a dazzling display of light and shadow. It's quite a toy.

[Over the next period of time, you appropriately adjusted the Yellow Turbans' teachings, making them more moderate, less aggressive, and easier to spread throughout the world.]

You subsequently abolished many of the harsh taxes left over from the reign of Thor I and began encouraging the development of industry and commerce. Since you also possessed a portal to Azeroth, you consciously adjusted your domestic industrial focus and began organizing caravans to conduct large-scale trade between the two worlds.

In September 2071, you, with your superior wisdom, once again created a steam engine, heralding the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the Kingdom of Elbor. Subsequently, you developed textile looms and machine tools, greatly expanding the Dwarven Kingdom's production capacity. Vast quantities of textiles and cloth were produced and sold abroad, leaving you with a significant labor shortage. (Family Wealth +9)

As your domestic economy flourishes, your power in Azeroth is also growing. Yellow Turban followers are no longer limited to Ironforge; they have even spread to the gnome and human kingdoms, following your caravans. Even in the goblin world, there are Yellow Turban followers.

[In addition, you also hired some extremely creative scientists from the goblins and gnomes at a high price and brought them back to Iron Mountain City. With money and a large number of talented scientists, no one can stop the pace of scientific progress.]

Under your leadership, the technology of the Kingdom of Elbor has made a great leap forward. A large number of steam-powered machines have been invented, including firearms. The goblins and gnomes brought the methods of making firearms from Azeroth to Middle-earth. Dwarven craftsmen have forged one true firearm after another, arming the army and even ordinary adventurers.

You've also recruited numerous professionals from Ironforge and the human kingdoms, bringing warriors, hunters, rogues, mages, and priests to the Kingdom of Elbor. While no dwarf mages have yet successfully transitioned, the first three professions are relatively easy to learn, and many dwarves have become warriors, hunters, and rogues. A very small number of dwarves possess the talent to become priests, making them prime candidates for the Yellow Turban Cult's priests.

[It can be said that the Kingdom of Elbor is not only the richest country now, but its technology tree has completely deviated from the conventional path of Middle-earth. You really want to tell other races, times have changed, my lord!]

In April 2073, perhaps some creatures truly fearless of death, the mighty dragon Smaug descended upon the Lonely Mountain, breathing his last breath upon the Iron Fortress. As the last remaining winged dragon in Middle-earth, it stood 4 meters long, its body clad in gems and gold, a majestic and invincible presence.

But it might have come to the wrong place. According to General Brevif Stonefist, this dragon is not even as powerful as the dragons of Azeroth. Why does it dare to show off so much?

Just a few rounds of gunfire caused the dragon Smaug to fall from the sky, a thunderous thud filling the ground with dust. The paladin Brewful Stonefist leaped onto its back and dealt it a crushing blow. If it hadn't screamed so miserably and let it go, the dragons of Middle-earth might have been wiped out.

[But as a price, it has become the gatekeeper beast of the Kingdom of Elbor, and can occasionally serve as your mount.]

You also followed the trail to the dragon Smaug's treasure—in modern times, this dragon's treasure ranks first on the Forbes list of the richest fictional characters, totaling $620 billion, completely crushing the second-place Scrooge McDuck. While not quite as wealthy at this point, it's certainly increased your wealth considerably. (Family Wealth +155)

[At the same time, near the treasure of the dragon Smaug, you unexpectedly found silicon. So one night in December 2074, you successfully made a magnet pass through a closed circuit, generating the first electric current. Thus, the first generator in the history of Middle-earth was created.]

And just then, you finally receive your second revelation. This time, the second half of "The Heavens are dead, the Yellow Heavens shall rise" is again eight words: "The flesh is weak, the machinery ascends." They say the end of science is theology, so is it possible that the end of theology is also science?

You vaguely remember that in World of Warcraft, dwarves are descendants of Titan creations, evolved from Titan creations, earthen spirits, after being cursed by the flesh and blood of the Old Gods. With your scientific research abilities, if you can reach a Titan ruin, you might be able to reap great rewards.
