Chapter 274: The Secret of Shurima’s Destruction
"Void..."
The words muttered by the dog-headed old man naturally fell into Li Yi's ears.
But Li Yi didn't ask anything right away.
Instead, he stared at the black cracks in the space. Although there was a trace of decayed aura constantly overflowing, it was far from the point of expanding the space.
The entire ruins were filled with constant buzzing sounds, but there was no sign of the sound becoming more intense.
"Are they the reason for the demise of your ancient Shurima Empire?" Li Yi asked with a serious expression.
He could feel the breath overflowing from the crack. Although it was not exactly the same as the breath of the alien demon, they were fundamentally the same.
The Void mentioned by Nasus is most likely a tribe in the Demon Realm.
His rebirth set off a huge storm, disrupting the entire Eternal Continent and the course of the real world.
This situation could not have happened at this time in my previous life.
Even in his previous life, Nasus might not have returned to the Eternal Continent.
"No... Although they caused the Shurima Empire to enter a period of decline, it was far from the point of destroying the entire Shurima Empire."
The dog-headed old man had a complicated expression, and was also extremely confused about the appearance of this void aura.
"How could they appear here..."
The void invasion cannot be carried out casually. Logically, there should be no void entrance here.
And the breath of the void was obviously extremely pure.
This forced Nasus to prepare for the worst.
"Your Excellency, although we have just met for the first time, we are both human. This 'Void' is the real enemy of the entire human race and even the entire Eternal Continent.
Now I have something that can greatly enhance the strength of the human race, and I need your help! I wonder if you are willing to help me?"
Nasus looked at the human boy in front of him with burning eyes.
He could feel the unfathomable strength of the young man in front of him,
If I could get his help, the success rate of the next thing would increase by at least 30% to 40%.
[Triggering the mission "The Request of the Ancient Ascendant"...]
A system mechanical sound rang in my mind.
Li Yi thought for a while with a gloomy look on his face, but did not agree immediately.
"Sir, could you tell me what this 'Void' is all about, and what Shurima encountered in the first place?"
Nasus was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately spoke:
"Even if Your Excellency does not ask, I will tell You all this, because what I need Your Excellency's help for is closely related to these things."
Li Yi nodded and motioned Nasus to continue.
"This matter is too complicated, so I will just talk about the important points.
This is the capital of the Shurima Empire, and the place beneath our feet is called Ascension Square, which was once the most famous and important place in the Shurima Empire.
The statues you see are the most powerful god warriors in the Shurima Empire, the Ascended Ones!"
"The Void once invaded the Eternal Continent, but was repelled by our powerful army of Ascendants.
The Void are some extremely mysterious and powerful guys. What we faced back then seemed to be not the full power of the Void.
But despite this,
We also lost most of our forces, and the Ascendant army suffered heavy casualties.
Not only that, the Void Clan has extremely terrifying corrosive and infective abilities.
Even among the surviving Ascendant warriors, many were infected, their consciousness became blurred, their temperaments became violent, and they even lost their loyalty to the Empire.
During that war, the entire Shurima Empire was reduced to only one tenth of its original strength.
However, this was not the reason for the demise of the Shurima Empire.
The most impregnable castle always starts from within.”
As Nasus spoke, his eyes involuntarily turned to the broken stone pillar in the center of the altar.
Seeing this, Li Yi also shifted his gaze in that direction and looked at the stone pillar with the inscription still clearly visible.
Nasus' words continued to reach his ears.
"This sacred pillar was once ten thousand feet high, like a pillar supporting the sky, and at the top of the pillar was a sun god disk.
The Shurima Empire relied on the Sun God Disk to gather the knowledge and power of the sun and even the vast universe.
Through many secret methods, it is infused into a powerful warrior, giving him power that rivals that of a demigod."
Although Nasus said it simply, it was actually much more complicated.
Li Yi naturally knew it well, but even so, it was enough to shock him.
Demigod, that is a terrifying existence that can fight with me!
The strongest person on the continent since the disappearance of the gods and true spirits!
As Nasus spoke, the subject suddenly changed and his emotions fluctuated.
"But! Success is due to the Sun God Disk, and failure is also due to the Sun God Disk!"
"The Sun God Disk can create a country that does not fear the gods, but it can also destroy the Shurima Empire in an instant."
"Everything is because of a traitor! A despicable thief!"
"Xerath! He was once the most trusted and dependable person of the Emperor of Shurima. He stretched out his dark hand when the Emperor was about to receive the baptism of the power of the sun."
“He destroyed one of Shurima’s most powerful Ascendants who could lead them to victory over the Void, and he destroyed an entire empire.”
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but frown.
This sounds a little impossible.
How could such a powerful empire be destroyed because of one person?
Nasus saw Li Yi's doubts.
"Yes, I didn't dare to believe this fact. Even if he had gained the trust of the Emperor, he couldn't have done it to this extent.
Moreover, the power of the Sun Disk is not enough to destroy the entire Shurima.
Later, I worked hard to find out the truth of the matter.
Finally found some clues.
The dark magic displayed by Xerath when the disaster occurred,
It is extremely similar to the forbidden power of an ancient god, and it is also an extremely terrifying god.
He is Selvatar, the god of misfortune.
It is very likely that Xerath has inherited the legacy of the God of Doom. He did not intend to destroy Shurima, but the power of doom he triggered at the time of the incident.
It was totally out of his control, which made things uncontrollable.
Under the influence of the power of doom, the entire Shurima was covered with a curse of doom, which magnified the consequences dozens or hundreds of times..."
Nasus recounted everything that had happened.
"By the time my brother Renekton and I arrived, it was too late.
Xerath successfully stole the energy of Ascension, and the Emperor was reduced to ash.
Renekton and I fought with all our might, and only managed to suppress Xerath, who had just ascended and was not yet familiar with the use of his divine power.
But it was far from being defeated, and my brother Renekton burned the essence of ascension to successfully seal it, but my brother Renekton was also trapped in the seal with it. "
"This place is where the seal is, and it is also the place where the emperor fell."
After saying this, Nasus looked at Li Yi with burning eyes.
"So, what can I do for you?"
Li Yi spread his hands and asked helplessly.
