Driven by a dark psyche to turn against Azil, Zelas secretly began to gather his own forces.

That's a 10-year plan......

In order to leave Azir dead without a place to be buried, Zelas lured Azir to conquer all of Valoran. In order to keep the Shurima Empire in power, Azir must undergo the Ascension Ritual and become an immortal Ascendant.

Surrounded by Zelas, Azir had no doubt that he had him, and with Zelas's side, he stepped up the stairs of the altar of the Solar Disc that reached to the sky.

Following Azir, Zeroth's heart was filled with hatred and resentment. The growth of ambition made him also aspire to become the emperor and be his master.

In his eyes, Azir was no longer the kind and caring friend he was, nor a good leader, but a ruthless emperor who was hypocritical and deceived him.

Accompanying Azir to the top of the altar of the Sun Disk, the resentment and malice in Zelas's mind had completely blinded him.

Just as he was about to push Azir down from the height of the altar with his own hands, Azir stopped outside the chaotic stream unleashed by the solar disk and turned around.

Under his stunned eyes, Azir smiled at him with a sincere smile: "Zeroth, before I go to the altar with you, I have issued a decree abolishing slavery, and I believe that the messengers will soon spread the news to every corner of Shurima!"

The stunned pupils gradually shrank, and Zelas's mouth opened slightly, and his face with the traces of age was full of shock.

Azir thought that Zelas was too happy to slow down, and he looked at Zelas, who was his brother, and said, "From this moment on, you are free, Zeroth!"

"Am I free?" Muttering to himself, Zeroth froze in place.

"Yes, my brother, I hope the two of us can really lead Shurima to conquer all of Valoran!"

Smiling absently, Azir turned around and prepared to step into the ranks of the Ascension Ritual to receive the power of Ascension and become an immortal Ascendant.

Too late...... It's too late, my brother...... Sighing sadly from the bottom of his heart, Zelas looked at the back of Azir as he walked towards the Ascension Ritual with complicated eyes.

He had betrayed Azir ten years earlier, and now his forces were waiting for him to overthrow Azir's dynasty and establish his own empire.

The people he had gathered had already begun to move, reshuffling the forces in the Imperial City. If he lets go at this time, won't it be tantamount to betraying all those who are willing to follow him?

And what if Azir had already found out that he had betrayed him and deliberately traded bitterness for his sympathy?

If this is the case, Azir, who has received the power of ascension, will definitely let him never turn over!

Now that he has betrayed Azir, there is no need to turn back!

Sadness, guilt, resentment...... Zelas couldn't tell how complicated his mind was at the moment.

Taking a deep breath, Zelas stared at him and stepped forward resolutely, his right hand nudging Azir's back.

Azir's figure turned back, staring at a pair of stunned eyes as he stared at Zelas, who had pushed him off the altar.

There was disbelief in his eyes, and Azir clearly didn't expect Zelas to push him off the altar. And Zeroth's sinister eyes were like nothing he had ever seen.

Watching coldly as Azir's figure fell, Zelas finally stepped into the turbulence of the ascending power of the solar disk without hesitation.

However, due to his lack of approval by the Solar Disk, Zelas's forcible attempt to absorb the power of Ascension caused the Solar Disk to collapse.

As the solar disc shattered, the energy of destruction poured out, turning into a turbulent current that tore Zelas's body apart in an instant. But he still struggled to hold on, wanting to get the power to ascend.

And Azir, who was constantly falling below, was also turned into ashes as soon as possible because of the energy of the sun's disc collapse.

The destructive energy released by the collapse of the solar disc instantly reduced the Shurima Imperial City to ruins, and centered on the Shurima Imperial City, it continued to spread the terrifying energy that killed all things.

The once rich territory of the Shurima Empire gradually faded into life, destroying the plains, forests, and human settlements with waves of destructive energy.

The barren air of death is pervasive, and the layers of sand waves that go straight to the sky are also wave after wave.

In just a few breaths, the Shurima Empire has undergone a seismic transformation, transforming from a powerful ancient civilization to a barren desert.

……

Witnessing the destruction of the Shurima Empire, Rao's experience as the goddess Acacia was as shocking as Ye Feng's mortals.

A strong and rich kingdom was ruined in an instant because of a misunderstanding between Zelas and Azir?

Slowly recovering from the shock, Sivir's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes looked at the solar disc in his arms with a complicated look.

If there was anything more shocking to her, it was the solar disk. Such a small disc enabled the rise of the Shurima Empire, and at the same time reduced an empire to ruins in an instant, which is not something that ordinary artifacts can do.

The more he thought about it, the more he feared the true owner of the solar disk, and Sivir secretly decided not to use the power of the solar disk easily.

At this time, the mirror image of Zelas's experience projected by Mirror Moon Lake also slowly disappeared and returned to calm.

The face of the goddess Acacia, who put away the magic, also returned to plainness, and she said to Ye Feng lightly: "You go to the fox fairy tombstone deeper in the fox fairy manor first, and this person will be left to me to deal with."

"If you don't go, it's not fun in there, I'm leaving!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to see the tombstone of the fox fairy, little Soraka's little head shook like a rattle, and he was about to go back and leave.

Seeing this, Sivir hurriedly pulled back the little Soraka who wanted to escape, and smiled at the goddess: "Goddess, be careful, we will go in first!"

Little Soraka was so anxious that he pouted and shouted: "I don't want to go, I don't want to go, it's the scene of Sister Fox Fairy before she died, I don't want to ......"

Covering little Soraka's mouth in time, Xavier gave Ye Feng a look, and she wanted to know more about it, she picked up little Soraka and walked deeper into the courtyard.

Ye Feng, who knew about it, greeted Amumu and Lulu, and also led the two of them to follow in the footsteps of Xavier.

However, Ye Feng, who was curious about how the goddess Acacia would punish Zelas, deliberately slowed down and walked at the rear.

As if sensing Ye Feng's gaze, the goddess Acacia also turned her head to look at him. A pair of gentle eyes gradually narrowed slightly, and she smiled and said, "Hurry up and get in, someone who is destined!"

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Feng to react, the goddess Acacia used her magic to blow Ye Feng away from here.
