The Ancient Capital Reappears

The Ascension Ritual, lasting ten days, was a massive undertaking, and throughout history, only Azir has ever performed such a feat. (っ◔◡◔)っ♥ ♥

We're alright, but Nasus and Renekton are exhausted. These past few days they've been constantly worried about something going wrong, staying right around the high ground, since Xerath is still missing.

Seeing Azir successfully ascend was the greatest joy for them, especially after feeling his surging power, as if they could already see his future grand ambitions.

Azir himself didn't seem very excited. After greeting us, he returned to the platform, quietly looking at the surrounding scenery, and finally fixed his gaze on the western horizon.

As the sun set, the desert was bathed in a crimson glow, but this scene lasted only a few minutes before a dark line appeared on the horizon, and night gradually fell.

At that moment, I saw a tall wall suddenly appear in the distant west, blocking out the little light left on the horizon. Then, buildings sprang up from the ground and quickly spread towards us!

A few of us jumped onto the high wall and discovered that it wasn't an illusion, but a real wall!

These buildings didn't stop after they reached us, but continued to stretch eastward until they reached the far, far depths of the night.

Suddenly, a huge town appeared in the empty desert. Except for the area around the Sun Disc, it was covered with dense houses, just like the Sun City I had seen in my illusion!

Could this be the Sun City that Azir spoke of, which he rebuilt single-handedly?

If this is magic, I can barely accept it, but if it's a real city, then this power is far too great, it's terrifying!

When I asked Azir, he told me that it was indeed a city!

The powerful beings forged through ten days of ascension are indeed extraordinary! Not only has the emperor returned to Shurima, but the ancient capital has also returned!

It's hard to imagine how the travelers around the city will feel after dawn, given that this city suddenly appeared overnight. They'll probably think it's a mirage!

I feel extremely fortunate to have witnessed this magnificent and spectacular scene.

Kled was also very excited. He rode Skaarl to Azir's side and said, "You can build a city like this in an instant. Wouldn't it be great if there were more?"

"This place was destroyed by the Solar Energy, which is why it can be rebuilt by the sun's power. I cannot build a city out of thin air."

"That's still quite remarkable!" Kled rarely praised someone.

"It's a pity the surrounding oases can't be recreated, but I believe that once I bring the river back, Sun City will regain its vitality!"

"Alright, I've waited so long for you, let's get down to business!"

"What's up?"

"My friend has already conquered the eastern coast of this continent and will soon advance here. I was originally going to march with him, but now I've given up..."

Kled spoke of Noxus's conquest plans, which were clearly no longer feasible. However, their goal was unity, Shurima now had a master, with whom they had a good relationship, so there was no need for further complications.

Azir's reaction was the same as Nasus's; he never imagined that the once mighty Shurima had fallen to the point of being conquered.

Although Kled is now proposing an alliance, anyone can tell that such an alliance is conditional on compromise.

"You want Shurima to submit to your so-called Noxus?"

That's right.

"Why should I?! Submission is based on war, not your words!" Renekton roared in fury.

"Stop arguing, let me explain the details!"

Seeing that the tension was rising, I quickly interrupted them; now only my words mattered.

After experiencing the illusion, I combined the dream of the disaster in Icathia with the world's transformation and recounted it.

Azir and the others are all Ascended, so they are certainly familiar with the disaster in Icathia, but they have some doubts about my dream.

It's normal for them to be skeptical. It's already strange enough that an ordinary person like me could enter the Ascended Realm. Now that they've heard that I dreamt of Icathia before that, it's truly unbelievable, especially since so many other people have dreamt of it too.

Finally Sivir broke the deadlock. "Yasuo is right, this world really might be undergoing a change, because I had that dream too!"

Her words surprised Azir and the others, and also caught me off guard. I wondered if she had really dreamt about it or if she wanted to help me.

After hearing her description, I realized that she was also a dreamer! And she had this dream not long ago!

That day, she was ambushed by Cassiopeia and had this dream while unconscious. Later, she entered the mural illusion and saw that the disaster in Icathia was exactly the same as her dream!

At the time, she thought it was a sign that she would become Ascended, so she didn't think much of it. She never expected to hear me talk about it now.

Even if my words are questionable, they won't doubt Sivir's. Nasus took a deep breath.

"If the person who planned the disaster were still alive, they could very well start another war, which we alone could not possibly withstand."

"That's why we need to unite and abandon worldly struggles. If you start fighting first, and the Void takes the opportunity to invade, then who will defend against the new calamities?"

"Alright, Yasuo, I believe in you, and I'm willing to team up with you."

"It's not me, it's Darius, the Great General of Noxus. I'm sure you two will have a lot to talk about after you meet."

"He doesn't need to come to me, I'll go to him, and while I'm at it, I'll check out the Rift Seal in Icathia!"

Azir planned to discuss this matter with Darius and also check on the seal of the Void Rift. Although the seal was very strong due to the power of dozens of Ascended, anything could happen over time!

After a series of twists and turns, the matter was finally resolved perfectly. I'm sure Darius will be grateful to me for gaining such a powerful ally!

As for Xerath, Azir initially planned to go find him first, but he can't worry about that for now.

Nasus and Renekton wanted to go with Azir, but he refused. On the one hand, he didn't need protection, and on the other hand, the newly rebuilt Sun City needed someone to manage it, so the two of them were undoubtedly the best choices.

He originally intended for Sivir to stay and help, but I suggested she come with us, not for the sake of the alliance, but for our shared dream.

Now that seven dream possessors have appeared, it's necessary for them to sit down and have a chat. The Gray Lady has probably been waiting for quite some time.

But Sivir thought differently, "You still can't bear to part with me after all!"

"I'd like you even more if you were a little more serious!"

After everything was settled, we each found a room to rest. This huge city now belongs to just a few of us. I believe it will soon prosper!
