258 The Feast of Arrival

Upon hearing Kai'Sa's words, Yuan Chen fell silent. He focused his mind Yuan Chen, just as Kai'Sa had said, soon received an inspiration.

This revelation was more special than the previous ones, not just a few fragmented words. On the contrary, it contained a great deal of information, and even Yuan Chen couldn't help but frown upon hearing it.

After a brief review, Yuan Chen gained a general understanding of the state of this world and why so many special situations involving time distortions occurred.

Simply put, this is not a single worldline.

It's somewhat similar to the Sacred Timeline in Marvel. Apart from the Sacred Timeline, whenever people choose different actions at a significant point in time, it leads to the creation of new branching timelines.

Based on the chronological order of these important time points, if anomalies occurred at the very beginning of the world's creation, then the resulting universe would be a completely different parallel world from the original League of Legends canon—one with a world origin, structure, laws, and power patterns entirely different from the canon of League of Legends.

However, if a universe arises from different choices made by different characters in different events, given a relatively stable global structure, then it is a world with the same origin but different developments. Examples include League of Legends and Lord of the Thrones.

Although they are largely the same, major events such as the Darkin War are unique to the Worldview Mir universe.

League of Legends might have it too, but there are only a few Dark Descendant, enough for playing mahjong or playing cards, not enough to form a large enough force for a war.

Yuan Chen's arrival, immediately upon his birth, created a massive and unique branch timeline within the original League of Legends main universe, also known as the Divine Timeline.

If things proceed normally, this special timeline wouldn't cause too many problems. At most, it would just result in a strong trunk and weak branches, eventually becoming an independent universe with no overlap with the sacred timeline.

The problem is that Yuan Chen made a mistake in the initial creation of the branch timeline... or rather, he went too far, resulting in the creation of numerous branch timelines within this branch timeline.

Furthermore, due to the continuous generation of numerous timelines, these timelines become intertwined, like a tangled mess. Although the events, stories, and lives experienced by Yuan Chen in each world are different, one thing remains the same.

That is, with a large number of branches constantly being generated, the world's most fundamental self-protection mechanism is being touched.

This self-protection mechanism is an instinct of the world, including the time-correction force itself, which is also part of this protective mechanism. Under normal circumstances, if time is disrupted, or if factors leading to the destruction of the world are generated, the time-correction force will automatically repair it.

However, when numerous timelines intertwine to the point that even the Time Correction Force itself cannot effectively control them, then the world itself will prune away the sacred timelines.

That is, to completely abandon this world, let it perish naturally, and after everything returns to nothingness, to start the next era anew.

And this world... is filled with countless intertwined branches, each with its own path, yet all pointing to the same end: destruction.

Whether swallowed by the Void, destroyed by Iron Man, cursed by the Ruined King, corrupted by Xolaani, or the entire world perished along with Aurelion Sol's madness... although from a macro perspective, these are all just stories that happen on Runeterra.

However, the occurrence of such an end-times event is a harbinger of the world's annihilation... that is, an irreversible destruction is about to occur.

This destruction was like a frog being slowly boiled in water; no one would know why it turned out this way until the final result arrived. Until, during this process, Yuan Chen from a certain world mastered spacetime magic and, through the unique structure of the Void, observed a pure world beyond the material and spiritual realms.

Through the Pure World, Yuan Chen, who had initially mastered spacetime magic, began to formulate a plan and, together with Yuan Chen from other worlds, reshaped the timeline, which had become as tangled as a ball of yarn with no clear main or secondary threads.

After a long period of time, the Yuan Chen combined numerous fragments of the world that had perished, forming the world in which Yuan Chen now reside.

This is also a major reason why there are so many things in this world that defy common sense and deviate from the normal League of Legends universe... Whether it's Dawn Bringer, Dragonmancer, Elemental Lord, or even Jax's War God, they are all included.

These all originate from different branch worlds... or rather, remnants left behind when fragments of the skin universe were combined into one world.

Thinking this, Yuan Chen reopened his eyes and looked at the survivors from another world who were waiting for his answer... namely, Kai'Sa and the others in front of him. There was a strange look in Yuan Chen's eyes.

After gathering his thoughts, Yuan Chen said, "The world we are in now is a world composed of the fragments of corpses from numerous dead worlds. You can think of it as a Frankenstein's monster world."

"... Um?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Kai'Sa raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Yuan Chen wasn't surprised by this. Or perhaps, he was just like Kai'Sa, only knowing a little more Kai'Sa.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen recounted all the information he knew in detail. Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, those who had been somewhat puzzled before showed a look of understanding on their faces.

Even so, Shalatai, who had already achieved symbiosis with the Void, couldn't help but say, "This sounds... a bit like a fantasy."

"Since magic already exists in this world, it doesn't matter if it's a bit far-fetched."

Yuan Chen explained, "Just like the city we're in right now, based on the Sacred Timeline, Kai'Sa in this world should be around nineteen years old at this time, having received ample training and growth in the Void."

"However, due to errors in the assembly of numerous world body parts, the current Bel'Veth is a combination of Kai'Sa, who was nine years old and still a child ten years ago, and Kassadin, who was still a guide. You from the future, I arrived here ahead of time, and Rek'Sai, who came here early to escape pursuit."

"So... everything has changed? Or is it just a vague statement?"

Kai'Sa asked, puzzled.

Yuan Chen shook his head and said, "One thing hasn't changed."

"What hasn't changed?"

"Malzahar has begun preparing the grand feast for the future chosen jointly by the Void and Runeterra."
