164 Treasure

Sensing the thoughts of those around him, Yuan Chen remained unperturbed. He knew that given the current situation, it was imperative to unite all forces that could be united.

Whether it's an inflammatory speech, a rebuttal debate, a rational discussion, or simply presenting the facts directly to the forefront.

As long as these forces can be united and freed from their original geographical, factional, and national boundaries, and can be Runeterra when facing a crisis, then it is the right thing to do.

"The Void is both near and far."

Yuan Chen quickly said:

"This time, only a portion of the Golden Army was corrupted. What about next time? And what will be next?"

"Ixialia had already formed a brilliant civilization long before the first Sun Disc rose, and provided tremendous assistance in the establishment of Shurima. Therefore, even under Shurima's rule, Ixialia maintained its freedom and independence."

Yuan Chen glanced around and said:

"I'm not sure if you all know this, but the war between the Ancient Shuriman Empire and the Void was not the first contact between Runeterra and the Void."

"As early as 8,000 BC in the Valoran calendar (Noxian Calendar), the Three Sisters of Freljord defeated the primordial animal demigods. And in the subsequent War of the Three Sisters, Lissandra made her first contact with the Void."

It's clear that although the Ixialia are the oldest in Runeterra, they don't know much about Freljord, which is on the other side of the world.

Only a small number of Yuentar knew that a supernatural power called "True Ice" existed there, but that was all; they knew nothing about what had happened on that land.

This is not their fault, because even among the Freljord people themselves, few know the history of that land...

Simply put, it was too long ago.

"It was an era before the yellow sands swallowed the Shurima, when wild magical entities roamed the land. In search of a place to survive, the Three Sisters sought a way to defeat the demigods through three different paths."

Yuan Chen spoke calmly, as if he were no longer concerned with the present situation, but had become an ordinary storyteller.

"Serylda attempted to wield the power of the heavens, but lost her voice to the First Twilight."

Avarosa, facing the twisted darkness beneath the world, has had her hearing taken away and sees an evil that yearns to devour everything. Lissandra, on the other hand, is a wild magic that confronts the material world itself.

So a primordial god used his claws to slit her eyes, robbing her of her sight.

Having lost her sight, Lissandra walks through dreams, comes into contact with the Void, and is seduced, deciding to use the power of the Void to overcome everything.

"They won, and the Void bared its fangs. To atone for it, Lissandra sacrificed all her brethren, draining them of all their energy, and then the Watchers sealed them within the interlayer of the material realm with True Ice."

"And now, those True Ice have begun to melt."

"This is just one of them."

Sensing the solemnity, even the barely concealed fear, on the faces of those around him, Yuan Chen did not pause but continued:

"I know some people won't believe it, but once this matter is over, you can send people to Freljord to find Lissandra and question her."

"In addition, due to the Aspects's treacherous schemes, Aurelion Sol was forced to wear a cursed crown. The Aspects used the crown's power to steal Sol's wisdom and enslave him, preventing him from approaching Runeterra."

"But now, that cursed artifact is gradually losing its effectiveness."

"That sounds too far back... but there are more recent ones."

Yuan Chen said:

"The Dark Descendant... the Fire Gazelle, Styraatu, has preserved her sanity and has not become a mad slave due to the passage of time and the corruption of flesh magic."

"But more importantly, the former Ascended General Aatrox has been driven mad and possesses enough power that all he needs is a common enemy, and the Dark Descendant sealed throughout the world will respond to the General's call without hesitation."

Beneath the endless sands of Shurima, the last emperor of the empire Azir, is about to begin the empire's revival.

I won't stop him; I'll speed up the process.

Yuan Chen didn't hide his intentions, but said it bluntly:

"Because this will unite a great deal of power... those independent warlords, tribes, and bandits scattered across the endless desert. They will either be wiped out or chosen to submit."

And the power of the Dark Descendant, under the call of the Golden Blood, will be partially transformed into the power that Runeterra to defend itself."

"Ionia, my homeland, a paradise on earth that I describe as incredibly blissful."

"In the coming catastrophe, the Spirit of Ionia will possess the characteristics of 'vengeance,' 'hatred,' and 'rage,' and will permanently alter everything on that land."

"And Noxus, and Demacia, even the reincarnations of the three Freljord Three Sisters..."

Yuan Chen no longer concealed his final conclusion, but instead spread his hands and said:

"Ixialia has lost the ability to maintain what is called tradition..."

I had envisioned a gentler approach to change things, but it turns out I was wrong. Time is running out; I can no longer stay here, turning a blind eye and remaining indifferent to the outside world in the name of maintaining stability in one region."

As he spoke, Yuan Chen connected to the spatial pouch at his waist and continuously took out one item after another, placing them on the open ground in front of him.

"A gift from the Azure Guardian Dragon, a descendant of the Aurelion Sol, this Azure Starfire can suppress at least 70% of the power of any non-celestial being during its effective period, and has a certain probability of granting the Heavenly Power."

"The Reincarnation Potion left behind by the Dreadlord Uroa from the Classical Era. Consuming it will greatly enhance various abilities and grant a certain probability of mastering the power of the terrifying lord himself, but it carries the risk of being devoured by Uroa's own Uroa's Elixir."

"The elemental mage of Ixialia, the Ascended tyrant, the creator of Monolith Fortress — the Dark Descendant Crystal that seals Ne'Zuk's will."

"Contains the 'Source Matter,' the foundation of all things that the Aspects usurped when they copied the power of Dragon King Sol; the curse of the nascent Celestial Realm; the blood of the invincible dragon Dragon God of Camavor; Dragon Heart Blood progenitor of dragons, 'Vora.'"

As they took out their inventory items one by one, and after hearing Yuan Chen's words, even the many knowledgeable scholars present, and even the King Yuen who owned the entire King Yuen Treasury, couldn't help but gasp in shock after hearing Yuan Chen's series of words.

Their eyes did not reveal greed or shock, but rather a deep sense of horror.

They did not doubt the veracity of Yuan Chen's words.

The strange phenomena caused by the mere appearance of these treasures had already covered the entire palace.
