154 King Yuen's Change

Upon hearing Yuan Chen 'Yuan Chen words, the scholars from Piltover nodded subconsciously, not finding anything wrong with his statement.

After all, from any perspective, Yishuaoken in front of us can certainly be called "great".

On the contrary, Qiyana, who was resting listlessly in the car, couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth after hearing Yuan Chen's words.

These are the words I said when I brought Yuan Chen to Yishuaoken.

I just didn't expect...

Yuan Chen not only still remembers it to this day, but he can even say it so naturally.

Thinking this, Qiyana didn't say anything, but simply lifted the curtain and exchanged a glance with Yuan Chen.

Their eyes met, and realizing what the other was thinking, they both smiled knowingly.

Led by the Road Protector, the scholars from Piltover officially entered Yishuaoken.

While letting them rest at their temporary residence, Yuan Chen and Qiyana went straight to the highest level of the King Yuen to report.

Nedeli and Nila were also with them.

However, unlike at the beginning, Nila has now completely devoured Kah'Mu.

That means it has already been swallowed.

Otherwise, the colossal dragon corpse, over three thousand meters long, would have stretched across the sky, closing in on Yishuaoken—

Without any preparation, Yishuaoken would definitely activate the defensive spells of the entire city and even the country to launch an attack immediately.

Faced with the Ixialia, which existed even before the founding of the Ancient Shuriman Empire, Yuan Chen had every reason to believe that even if a demigod rashly went to war with Ixialia would be able to deliver a powerful and effective counterattack.

No... for Ixialia, who doesn't care about the cost, killing a demigod shouldn't be difficult.

After all, there are records of Ascended being killed by mortal forces as early as the Ancient Shuriman Empire.

In comparison, Nila's pot is more noteworthy.

All the essence of flesh and blood within Kah'Mu's enormous body was transformed by the jar into resources to seal Oshirresh...

However, contrary to Nila's prediction, although Kah'Mu prevented Oshirresh's consciousness from influencing the outside world, the sealing time was shortened.

Assuming an ancient dragon could prevent Oshirresh from causing trouble for at least three months, and allow Nila to relax and move freely without constantly needing to pray, then a dragon of Kah'Mu's caliber should be able to sustain that for at least two, or even three, years...

However, at present, Kah'Mu can only seal it for a little over eight months.

"It must be because the source matter in Kah'Mu's heart was taken away."

Hearing Nila's question, Yuan Chen thoughtfully replied:

"The Source is a power that only the Aurelion Sol, can wield."

It is precisely because of the Source that Kah'Mu was able to become the invincible Dragon God of Camavor.

Now that the source essence has been extracted, and the corpse hasn't been disposed of in time, Kah'Mu's quality has plummeted to the level of an ancient dragon.

After a pause, Yuan Chen couldn't help but ask:

"You went to Camavor and killed so many dragons, didn't you get enough resources?"

"Hey-hey..."

Upon hearing this, Nila an awkward smile, but made no attempt to hide anything, instead stating frankly:

"Oshirresh is picky about food; offerings of the same quality lose their effectiveness with repeated consumption. Although I've killed several ancient dragons, only a tiny fraction are truly usable for sealing..."

Does sealing also have marginal benefits?

Yuan Chen couldn't help but think to himself.

The so-called marginal utility simply means that under normal circumstances, an ancient dragon can bring three months of peace. However, if you consume more ancient dragons, the next one will only bring two months of peace. After that, it will be a month, a week, or even a day...

However, if it is essentially a spirit in the spiritual realm, why is it necessary to use flesh and blood from the material world to seal Oshirresh?

Thinking this, Yuan Chen felt a slight unease, but considering that there were more important things to do, he could only remind Nila:

"When reinforcing the seal in the future, we can pay more attention to that... Oshirresh's cunning is no less than Joy's."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Nila smiled and nodded earnestly.

"I realized this problem after we first met! So I'm still observing you very carefully now--"

So far, there haven't been any problems!

After some time apart, King Yuen's appearance had changed slightly...

No, it's not a change in appearance, but a change in demeanor.

He remained a towering 1.83 meters tall, and his physique was still slender. Coupled with his wide mage robe, he gave the impression of a frail, skinny scholar.

She wore a crown, and her half-black, half-white hair was slightly disheveled.

It's mainly the sideburns. Before, my sideburns were always perfectly styled, but this time, there are a few stray hairs.

The expression of King Yuen had changed from the thin and kind middle-aged grandmaster in Yuan Chen's memory to a somewhat solemn and worried middle-aged grandmaster.

Upon seeing Yuan Chen and his group arrive, King Yuen, who had known about it beforehand through the Road Protector, also revealed a smile.

Looking at Yuan Chen and the others, King Yuen stroked his beard and said slowly:

"Qiyana, you're finally back safe and sound..."

When I noticed the commotion at the Sun Gate Bridge, I briefly thought that Ixialia was about to wage a brutal war as a salute to his return to Runeterra.

Qiyana seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing her father's words.

She never imagined that her pedantic and conservative father would recount a war that nearly broke out in such a calm manner.

Or Ixialia with the outside world...?

This time, however, Qiyana didn't show off much. She simply nodded and then said:

"The matter of the Sun Gate is a minor matter, Father. I have more important things to report!"

Upon hearing this, King Yuen's eyes flickered for a moment, then he looked at Qiyana, and then at Yuan Chen.

Although he didn't speak, his eyes held a hint of complexity and emotion.

After a long silence, King Yuen said:

"Is it the Void...?"

"You know?!"

Upon hearing her father's words, Qiyana's eyes widened in surprise.

It's worth noting that Qiyana spent most of her time along the way thinking about how to convince her old-fashioned father.

However, King Yuen paid no attention to Qiyana's surprise, but instead looked at Yuan Chen with a complicated gaze:

"I know you have many things you want to confirm, Prophet... but before that, let's deal with the matter of the Void, shall we?"
