155 Information, Strange Person

Hearing King Yuen's words, Yuan Chen still had many doubts, but seeing King Yuen's somewhat tired expression, he nodded in understanding.

"Okay... but if it's about this Void War, please don't delay."

"Rest assured, I would not joke about my people."

Upon hearing this, King Yuen nodded and said:

"I have some information about you, but until now I couldn't be sure."

It wasn't until recently, with the arrival of a strange man, that my thoughts were confirmed.

"Wack?"

Upon hearing King Yuen's words, Yuan Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise, then asked:

Who is it? Where is it?

"He's not in Yishuaoken, but on the southwestern border of Ixialia, at the edge of the first tributary of the Miasma Jungle. As for who he is... we don't know."

King Yuen said:

"He came to see you, saying he wanted to fulfill a promise he made to you... He wouldn't see anyone else, and he didn't say another word."

King Yuen sat wearily in a chair, gesturing for Yuan Chen and the others to take their seats, and said:

"I don't know that person... but just as prophesied, his arrival foretells calamity from the Lost Lands."

"After the Road Protector conducted their investigation and confirmed the authenticity of the message, I became certain that the prophesied future era was precisely my own era."

"And regarding your message..."

At this point, a hint of helplessness appeared on King Yuen's face.

He hadn't originally intended to say it here, but upon reflection, he realized that deliberately concealing it might only cause resentment...

Thinking about it, King Yuen sighed and then said:

"It's not that I'm unwilling to give you the message about the prophecy, but rather that over the past three thousand years, many former kings have considered it mere nonsense, leading to oversights in its preservation and the resulting dispersal of many messages to different corners of the library."

"As Your Excellency is aware, the royal library is akin to finding a needle in a haystack when searching for scattered pages. The same applies to the notes, speculations, and annotations of scholars throughout history."

"The Great Sem is currently searching for these messages. Once the search is complete, I will deliver them to you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen finally understood why King Yuen was so hesitant.

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen also said:

"Then I'll head to the border now and meet that strange man."

As he spoke, Yuan Chen didn't pause, but instead added to King Yuen:

"Qiyana, settle Nila and Nedeli in. Gather the troops, and have them notify you if anything unexpected happens. In that case, please have His King Yuen immediately dispatch the Road Protector to the border of Ixialia."

"Good."

Qiyana and King Yuen nodded.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen did not hesitate, but patted the Book of Thresholds on his lower back.

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, the Book of Thresholds did not hesitate. Instead, it opened a portal, causing Yuumi, who had been slacking off somewhere, to fall out.

"Meow meow meow?"

Then, before Yuumi could come to her senses, the pages of the book turned, and another portal adorned with green light and shadow appeared beside Yuan Chen.

"Bringing people along will increase the portal's resource consumption and also affect its stability."

Yuan Chen said:

"Since that strange person came looking for me, I can go alone."

After saying that, under everyone's watchful eyes, Yuan Chen's figure disappeared into the teleportation portal.

Inside the portal, what Yuan Chen saw was stretched into intricate arcs, and in an instant, the entire world seemed to transform into dazzling silk threads.

Although it was rushed, Yuan Chen's actions were not merely a momentary impulse.

Having gone through all these things, Yuan Chen was somewhat certain that, regardless of anything else, he would definitely have a significant impact on Shurima in the future.

In this situation, if we put ourselves in your shoes, if our past selves failed to stop everything, then they would have left our future selves with the opportunity and the means to change everything.

A strange person, a strange person waiting for me...

As he pondered, a thoughtful look appeared in Yuan Chen's eyes.

Without considering deliberate concealment, immortals are not uncommon in Runeterra. Leaving aside demigods, even mortals, given enough talent and opportunity, have many chances to attain immortality.

However, if we narrow this scope down to the Shurima...

On the border, in the dense forest, a mountain lily bud begins to swell violently. As the bud unfolds, a yellow and white portal appears.

Stepping out, Yuan Chen glanced back at the towering city wall made of vines and nodded in satisfaction.

Although I am not the true owner of the Book of Thresholds, I can still reliably teleport through Book of Thresholds under the temporary contract. Unfortunately, once outsiders are involved, the teleportation distance becomes extremely limited due to the increased computational load.

The outside world is fine, but inside Ixialia, you can only go out through a portal, you can't go in through a portal...

Because that massive Concealment Spell hid Ixialia's coordinates in the material world, it also blocked teleportation magic, location divination magic, and long-distance teleportation magic.

Unlike the northern side that the scholars from Piltover entered, the vines on the southwestern border of Ixialia were noticeably thicker and stronger.

And it continues to grow, its crisscrossing and coiling together giving the impression of a heap of giant pythons, capable of pulverizing all life in an instant.

Above the Vine Wall, Yuan Chen could clearly see fully armed Road Protector patrolling back and forth with sharp weapons.

These Road Protector had in mind. They were fully armed, and their armor was no longer made of Silk Material, but was a composite armor made of plates and chains forged from sturdy elemental ores.

Some conservative Yuentar masters were discussing something atop the city walls, seemingly trying to determine how to build a solid defensive line.

Yuan Chen did not interfere. Instead, he jumped up into a tree in a few swift movements, scanned the dense forest, and then sped towards a wisp of smoke in the distance, using his flying blades to reach it.

And in this dense forest, sitting in front of a campfire, with a makeshift wooden hut behind him.

The burly man, clad in heavy, dark purple clothing and wearing a helmet, reached out, picked up a grilled fish stuck in the fire, removed his helmet, and was about to tear it apart when he suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something.

As Yuan Chen landed, he stared at the man in front of him with a strange expression.

"It really is you... Jax."
