166 Unanimous Opinion
After a brief silence, it was finally Master Tina who decided to break the deadlock.
As a relatively young master, Tina doesn't possess the maturity of other masters, but that doesn't mean Tina's foolish or unable to grasp the atmosphere.
At least now, Tina understands very well that it's best to skip the discussion about "uniting all forces, opening a nation, and integrating into Runeterra" and get straight to the point, leaving this unimportant outcome for people to decide after the battle.
"These materials are undoubtedly extremely rare, but the problem is that we don't understand their properties."
Looking at Yuan Chen, Tina said with a hint of helplessness:
"If it were just the Dreadlord Uroa and the Tyrant Ne'Zuk, that would be one thing. But the power of the Aurelion Sol... forgive me for speaking frankly, but even for Ixialia, this is an ultimate mystery that is beyond comprehension."
Upon hearing Master Tina's words, some masters couldn't help but frown.
This wasn't exactly unexpected. Every Yixialian would be proud of their civilization and achievements. Before Yuan Chen brought his Spirit Theory, the Ixialia didn't believe any civilization in Runeterra was worthy of competing with them in their interpretation of truth.
But after a moment's thought, the masters' furrowed brows relaxed once again.
Yes, what can we do even if we're dissatisfied? After all, that's a secret held by Aurelion Sol...
Rather, it's more accurate to say that as a mortal, Yuan Chen's ability to acquire so many treasures, including two items related to Sol, in less than four months is truly astonishing.
Tina sensed the masters' opinions, but Tina didn't pay them any mind.
Although Tina is considered young among the masters, only in her early thirties.
However, becoming Yuentar is not something the masters can entirely decide; what truly determines everything is the Vidalion Loom. In this case, knowledge is everything.
Humanity has proven countless times that the most creative periods in a person's life are indeed youth and middle age...
Even the renowned Master Sem, who had countless students, achieved his most outstanding accomplishments at the age of thirty-eight.
Thinking it over, Tina looked around at the people around her. She wasn't intimidated; instead, she calmly raised her hand and said:
"Among these many treasures, I believe that the power of the Aurelion Sol is beyond Ixialia's reach. Although this may not align with Ixialia's emphasis on reason and logic, I firmly believe that fate has chosen Yuan Chen."
"I've heard that every gift from fate comes with a hidden price. I don't believe Ixialia can bear such a heavy price, especially since the Dragon Heart Blood already bears the curse and resentment of the Dragon God Sol."
Therefore, I propose...
Tina said solemnly:
"The Dreadlord Uroa was a warlord who ravaged the north and south sides of the Kumungu Mountains and the eastern Serpent Isles during the Classical Era. I have seen related records in the Ixialia History Book."
Based on the analysis of its power, I believe we can try to separate Uroa's remaining will to ensure that the potion itself becomes a powerful source of combat strength."
"In addition, there are Dark Descendant Crystal."
Tina said:
"Ne'Zuk may be known as a tyrant, but he was one of the ancient Ascended from Ixialia. As far as I know, until the Great Collapse of Shurima, the ancestors of Ne'Zuk were known for their wisdom, erudition, and bravery, not for their tyranny, murder, or rage."
"We cannot be certain whether the wisdom of Ne'Zuk Nezuk was eroded by the torment of flesh and blood magic during the long period of sealing, but we can try to awaken Ne'Zuk Nezuk's consciousness without a parasitic medium."
In this way, even against a combined army of the Golden Army and the Void, we will have the strength to fight!
Hearing Tina's words, Sem and the others nodded in agreement. King Yuen, standing nearby, stated even more directly:
"I agree with Master Tina's opinion. Ne'Zuk Nezuk's understanding of the Vidalion Loom far surpasses that of any previous king. With Ne'Zuk's help, the power of Ixialia will be comprehensively enhanced!"
Upon meeting King Yuen and others, they began to express their opinions, and other Elemental Master who had already shown interest also actively participated in the discussion.
Humans are social animals. Even before this, some conservative masters were dissatisfied with Yuan Chen's behavior and even wanted to drive Yuan Chen out.
But now, after witnessing Yuan Chen's determination, will, and perseverance, and looking at his colleagues beside him who were constantly thinking and devising ideas to defend Ixialia, he felt a surge of emotion.
Even though they had disagreements about whether to open the country, they still joined the discussion after a long sigh.
Everyone has an inner scale, and knows what is right and what is wrong. What makes people make choices is their own reason and emotion.
Fortunately, in Ixialia's rich academic atmosphere, at least the vast majority of scholars were rational...
Or perhaps, the very nature of the Yuan Chu Axiom dictates that rational, precise, and rigorous individuals are more likely to achieve success.
Seeing the group of people discussing the matter, Yuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He then looked at Qiyana, who was silently listening from the side.
Although Qiyana is currently the most talked-about crown princess, Qiyana has clearly matured a lot.
In the past, Qiyana would have been eager to express her opinion by now.
But now, Qiyana wasn't in a hurry to express her opinion; instead, she silently pondered everything that was happening before her eyes, and how she would have said it if she were in that situation.
How can we unite everyone's strength like Yuan Chen did...?
As Qiyana was thinking, Qiyana noticed Yuan Chen's gaze and raised an eyebrow, as if to ask, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Chen didn't pay any attention to this, but instead asked:
"How are Nila and Nedeli?"
"They're resting in the side hall... Nedeli is alright, but Nila didn't seem to need it much, so she left not long after and is probably strolling around the city now."
Hearing Qiyana's words, Yuan Chen wasn't surprised at all. As a wild creature, Nedeli was naturally calm and collected.
As for Nila... as someone who loves to have fun, it's unlikely she'll settle down. She needs to constantly gather sources of joy to counteract some of the erosion from the demonic mind.
Thinking about it, Yuan Chen also said:
"Then let's not call them yet... Let me introduce them first."
