Faced with Jax's questioning, Yuan Chen remained silent, simply shaking his head and saying, "I don't know."

After a pause, Yuan Chen added, "At least I don't know right now."

After all, he also has the identity of a prophet. Although Yuan Chen himself rarely cares about it and only uses it to show off when necessary, it is still necessary to maintain this identity for the sake of the future.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen looked at the crowd in front of him and said:

"Things have come to this point, so there's no point in saying any more nonsense... From the moment of his birth, Bel'Veth was burdened with the mission of annihilating the present world and leading it into the next era. Simply put, negotiations are impossible."

"We have no way out. Just like Jax said, the purpose of this battle is simple: survival... Let's prepare for the final moments."

Yuan Chen's voice was devoid of much fluctuation; it was merely silent and indifferent.

"If the final answer is that everything will be annihilated into Void, then at least let fate know our resolve."

Upon hearing this, Qiyana tilted her head and then couldn't help but retort:

"It's hard to imagine these words coming from a prophet."

In the time that followed, the people of Yishuaoken abandoned all their illusions and began preparing for the final war.

Large numbers of civilians, guided by the Road Protector, arrived at the Ixialia via a large-scale teleportation spell.

Thanks to the convenience of Elemental Magic, a large number of wooden ships were quickly constructed.

Such ships were unsuitable for warfare because neither their structure nor their strength could withstand artillery fire. Furthermore, the wood used in their manufacture lacked any additional Yuan Chu Axiom enchantment, resulting in extremely limited inherent strength.

But since it's just a refugee ship, at least reaching a relatively safe area shouldn't be a problem.

For example, the Serpent Isles, Bilgewater, or simply Piltover.

Of course, by the time they boarded the ship, they had already suffered a complete defeat.

Before the battle was completely over, they would continue to manufacture potions and other necessities for the siege.

War is always cruel, especially in the current situation, where even the most naive person can feel the pressure that is so close at hand.

Especially in the final days, when the Void completely passed through the Miasma Jungle, leaving behind a wasteland that looked like a deep purple ocean in the distance of Yishuaoken, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

The Vidalion Loom sealed off Yishuaoken's material realm, preventing the Void Beasts within from massing troops by dismantling the spatial structure of the material realm using Abominations, as they had done on the southwestern border.

In this situation, the remaining Void instincts summoned the largest beast tide ever, which devoured all life and vegetation along its way as it traversed the Miasma Jungle.

In this state, with the constant feeding, the corpses became nourishment for the Void, and thus became part of the Void.

"That's... the Storm Drake."

Standing atop the city wall, Nedeli squinted and said:

"And there's also the Rift Drake, the Ocean Drake, the Savage Spirit Giant Python, the Lightstream Vulture..."

They were the first jungle overlords to fight against the Void. After they were swallowed by the Void, the other jungle overlords also left the Void's path and migrated in large numbers to the north of eastern Shurima.

Living organisms are often highly dependent on their environment.

In this situation, when the Miasma Jungle becomes uninhabitable due to the invasion of the Void, and the inhabitants are powerless to resist, they will instinctively migrate. The place most similar to the Miasma Jungle is the Kumungu Mountains in eastern Shurima.

Gazing at the eagles and vultures in the sky, which, even corrupted by the Void, still left behind trails of five-colored light as they flew, King Yuen shook his head with a touch of melancholy.

"The Lightstream Vulture..."

This very sacred beast was the Elemental Sacred Beast that brought Ixialia the initial inspiration of the axioms of light, refraction, and mirrors. Unexpectedly, it actually..."

"Relax."

Upon hearing King Yuen's words, Ne'Zuk, who was also on the city wall and occupied the body of a dead man, raised his dark red heron head and said with a disdainful expression:

"Perhaps it won't be long before we become one of them..."

Others' disdain was directed at the enemy. Only Ne'Zuk turned all his despair and grief upon himself, infecting those around him with it.

Fortunately, during this period of preparation, people have gradually figured out Ne'Zuk's personality.

Just like now, after hearing Ne'Zuk's words, the masters standing by felt neither angry nor dissatisfied. They simply shook their heads helplessly and sighed at the horrors their ancestor had experienced.

They knew that this couldn't be blamed on Ne'Zuk's weak will... or rather, the fact that he could become Ascended, and even be called the Elemental Saint King, was proof of Ne'Zuk's strong spirit.

As it is now, we are merely cursed by knowledge and truth—or rather, even if we exhaust all our thoughts and wisdom, we cannot find the ultimate end of annihilation revealed by the Void.

Ultimately, I was overwhelmed by this sense of powerlessness.

Ne'Zuk, which are still characterized by simple despair and self-destruction, are relatively mild.

Didn't you see Bel'Veth said? The last Malzahar who saw the Void's future turned into Void traitor; he'd be better off with Despair and Self-Destruction.

Upon seeing these Void Creature that had begun to be corrupted, Yuan Chen frowned. However, with the feedback from his reconnaissance spell, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"These corrupted monsters are merely being controlled by their bodies... Hmm, it must be just as Jax said, the Void's goal Yishuaoken."

"Just like the war that Shurima waged against the Void in the past, the Void at that time did not have time to waste in the war to corrupt the corpses of the Ascended, and could only let them rot."

And now, the same goes for Warcraft...

Although it possesses the power of an epic-level life form, it cannot manipulate magic; at best, it is merely a large siege weapon.

Thinking this, Yuan Chen turned his gaze to Nila behind him:

Are you ready?

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's question, Nila's face unusually remained expressionless. Or perhaps, Oshirresh had deliberately allowed Nila to convey his will.

"Ready."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen took a deep breath and then roared in a deep voice:

"Prepare for battle!"

My keyboard is broken; the Z key, C key, comma, and period keys don't spring back, so it's easy to make mistakes and omit words when typing...
