189 Entrustment

Although they were communicating, Yuan Chen could sense that the despair in Ne'Zuk's words had penetrated to the bone.

But similarly, his despair seemed...

It's not that thorough yet?

At least, a truly desperate person, consumed by self-destructive tendencies and indifferent to everything, would never communicate with their descendants like this.

Perhaps, there is still a chance for things to turn around...

Just as Yuan Chen was still pondering this, at the almost humble plea of King Yuen, although still filled with pessimism, Ne'Zuk finally sighed and numbly nodded, saying:

"I will help you... my descendants, but you must be prepared."

What preparations should be made?

"Everything," Ne'Zuk said numbly.

"When the Deep Purple Sea rises with new waves, the merciless Void will engulf everything... No one can escape. Perhaps, only the legendary Creation Dragon God Sol can change all of this."

"But that only applies to the past... It's too late now."

After saying this, without waiting for Yuan Chen and King Yuen to say anything more, Ne'Zuk's body once again transformed into a sphere and floated in the air without any further reaction.

Although he promised to help Ixialia.

But clearly, even something as obvious as this requires Ne'Zuk to be mentally prepared for right now.

Realizing this, Yuan Chen and King Yuen exchanged a glance and, without arguing further, turned and left the Secret Chamber where the Vidalion Loom was kept.

In fact, the Secret Chamber was quite large.

In order to maximize the wisdom of scholars, this computing power needs to be unified.

Hundreds of Elemental Master stood densely packed on the circular stone platforms floating in the air around the Secret Chamber, empowered by secret techniques.

Some of these Elemental Masters had been staying in the towers of Yishuaoken to accelerate the analysis of Dark Descendant Crystal, but most of them Elemental Master who had just withdrawn from the southwestern border.

These masters, who had been evacuated from the front lines and returned to Yishuaoken via teleportation, didn't even have much time to rest. After only a preliminary recovery of their magic and energy, they rushed to Yishuaoken to accelerate the analysis of the crystal.

It was precisely because of the addition of these new forces that the remaining work was able to be completed quickly in less than a month.

But in the end, all they got was an incommunicative madman...

Looking up and around, the scholars didn't speak, but in this atmosphere, there was no need for them to say much; Yuan Chen could clearly sense their thoughts.

Before Yuan Chen could think further, King Yuen silently sighed in a voice only Yuan Chen could hear, then forced a cheerful smile and said:

"Our ancestors have answered us! Let us praise Master Yuan Chen! It was thanks to Master Yuan Chen's efforts that our ancestor, Ne'Zuk, was able to successfully break free from that curse that bound to the soul!"

"Next, we only need to wait for Ne'Zuk Nezuk to regain his senses, and then we will be able to fully unleash the power of the Vidalion Loom and the Monolith Fortress!"

Upon hearing King Yuen's words, the previously deathly Secret Chamber regained some warmth.

Visibly, almost everyone's eyes showed a hint of excitement.

Faced with the imminent destruction and despair of the Void, far too many people have gone for far too long without hearing even a slightly better news.

Although it was a lie, there was no doubt that King Yuen brought Shimmer of hope to people's hearts...

Under the excited gaze of the crowd, King Yuen raised his hand.

That aged, slightly thin body burst forth with boundless vitality in that instant. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to his youth, his aged face brimming with an undisguised radiance:

"Ixialia has been dormant for far too long! The energy accumulated over millennia, the magic that has woven our three thousand five hundred years of peace, will unleash its most intense power in the hands of the kingdom's most outstanding masters! And in this way, let the world know the greatness of the Vidalion Loom, and what Ixialia!"

As he spoke, King Yuen gripped his scepter tightly and raised it sharply:

Long live truth!

Long live truth!

There were no fanatical shouts.

Or perhaps scholars and masters are simply not inclined towards fanaticism. Driven by reason and logic, they will only express their thoughts in a calm tone and with the most resolute voice.

Within that sound, Yuan Chen heard the power of unity and concerted effort.

I heard it too...

"Like fireworks."

Walking side-by-side with King Yuen out of the Secret Chamber, Yuan Chen calmly said:

"It climbed higher and higher, then burst into a burst of brilliant fire, and finally nothing was left."

"That's all we can do."

Stepping out of the Secret Chamber, King Yuen and Yuan Chen were not in the center of the giant tower. Instead, they were directly teleported to the top floor of the Ixialia Tower, which was King Yuen's palace, thanks to the material domain of the Vidalion Loom.

However, it's different from before...

When Yuan Chen came here last time, he clearly remembered that there were a large number of imperial guards and a lot of decorations.

Now, not a single guard has been seen, and apart from a few servants, all that remains are vast stacks of books, piled up like small hills.

Perched atop the empire, gazing upon the surrounding mountains that appeared remarkably small in comparison, King Yuen spoke:

"No other choice... I actually hate that phrase."

King Yuen looked at Yuan Chen. He seemed to have abandoned the reserve that a king should have, and gave the impression of a gentle but somewhat stubborn old man.

"Even when Qiyana says similar things, for example, when her sister is pressuring her, I feel quite helpless."

"Why?" Yuan Chen, somewhat curious.

"You know that Alai and his group have a very bad relationship, why don't you try to mediate?"

"Because she wasn't without choice, but her choices weren't good enough, so she didn't want to choose," King Yuen said, shaking his head.

"She felt that everyone looked down on her, that her sister despised her, so she could only resort to cruel methods to rebel and retaliate... but this was wrong."

"She can leverage her strengths to engage in more in-depth exchanges with scholars, discuss matters with those seeking change, and connect with thinkers on a personal level."

Even venturing to distant counties to establish their own influence...

These are all choices, but you have to accept the consequences and also lose something.

"She didn't have no other choice; she chose to submit to the emotion in her mind called 'ideal.'"

King Yuen sat down and said, "Instead of choosing to find a way out from the current reality... she herself chose to face the cruel reality with no other choice."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen remained silent, gazing at King Yuen for a long while before finally speaking, "The Void is so close... why bring this up all of a sudden?"

"I am a bad father, I failed to manage the relationship between my children... After my death, please make Qiyana queen."

Looking at Yuan Chen, King Yuen said calmly and firmly:

"Only in this way will someone be willing to avenge the dead!"
