394: Go see the wider world
After resolving the immediate trouble, Xu Lian wandered around the Void.
Not long after, he finally met the person he wanted to see—KaiSa, the Empress of the Void!
Although it was an incredible coincidence, Xu Lian had come precisely to meet KaiSa; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have dared to enter the Void!
Besides KaiSa, there was nothing else in this place that attracted him!
Xu Lian noticed KaiSa, and KaiSa also noticed Xu Lian, with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
It was incredibly rare to see another person in this Void.
Besides her, everyone else here looked like monsters; a handsome person like Xu Lian was a rarity.
So, when KaiSa saw Xu Lian, she didn't dare to approach, fearing something unexpected might happen.
However, out of curiosity, she didn't leave but watched Xu Lian from a distance, not daring to get close.
"Hello, I'm from another world."
Instead, Xu Lian took the initiative to walk up and greet her.
Xu Lian had come to the Void specifically to find KaiSa.
It was a bit of a gamble.
He didn't expect to be so lucky and find her just by wandering around.
Because the Void was dark everywhere, Xu Lian also felt a bit unnerved.
If it were someone else here, they probably wouldn't dare to move!
This place was indeed a bit terrifying.
But fortunately, Xu Lian had purchased special abilities before entering this world, so he could be fearless in the Void!
Although not invincible, he could at least protect himself.
If he wanted to retreat, no one could threaten him.
This was also why Xu Lian dared to appear directly in front of KaiSa; he was confident in his ability to handle it.
"You might find it strange, but I can prove I have no ill will. I'm President Xu, and I'm from another world."
Seeing KaiSa remain silent for a long time, Xu Lian continued, "If I had ill intentions, I would have acted already.
I'm just curious where this is; can you tell me about it?"
Facing KaiSa, Xu Lian felt a little nervous.
After all, in this place, KaiSa was the only beautiful woman he could see!
KaiSa, the Empress of the Void.
To be called an Empress, she naturally possessed both strength and beauty.
Xu Lian had known this before, and seeing her in person now confirmed his suspicions.
"Hmm? There's nothing strange about it."
Hearing Xu Lian's strange words, KaiSa replied with a smile, "I know the Void can connect to other places, and I've been searching for a way to do that.
I originally thought I'd never find it in this lifetime and was about to give up when your appearance gave me new hope."
In the story of League of Legends, KaiSa, the Empress of the Void, was consumed by the Void when she was young, and she survived through sheer will and an unyielding spirit.
Her experiences turned her into a deadly hunter; some even called her a harbinger of a dark future.
She formed a close symbiotic relationship with a living Void creature's shell, and soon she would have to make an important decision: to forgive the humans who once saw her as a monster and work with them to resist the approaching darkness, or simply forget everything and let the Void consume this world that had abandoned her.
However, KaiSa, the Empress of the Void, chose to save this world, so now she is exploring a path to another dimension—or rather, Runeterra!
From KaiSa's perspective, Xu Lian must be from Runeterra.
If that were true, then KaiSa's long years in this Void would also come to an end.
The fire of hope rekindled in her heart.
"Xu Lian, can you take me away from this place, take me out of here?" KaiSa looked at Xu Lian, her eyes filled with pleading.
Despite her words, KaiSa's expression darkened.
She deeply longed to escape the Void but was also acutely aware of how difficult this goal was to achieve, how to leave, or even if she could truly leave.
Because only she knew how long she had spent in this Void, so long that she herself had almost forgotten.
She had tried to escape many times before, but each time ended in failure, yet she continued to try.
Despite repeated failures, this only made her yearn for the outside world even more.
Every effort, every process of regaining confidence after failure, ultimately left only emptiness and disappointment.
This gradually made KaiSa give up the idea of escaping; although she was still searching, she already felt that this matter had become out of reach.
"No problem!"
Xu Lian smiled at KaiSa and said, "As long as you wish, I can take you now, not only out of the Void but even out of Runeterra, to see a wider world."
Of course, Xu Lian also noticed the disappointment in KaiSa's eyes and understood the reason behind it... Perhaps the various difficulties KaiSa had experienced had made her stronger; it could be said to be a result of mixed blessings.
Meeting Xu Lian was indeed a turning point for KaiSa.
"Really?" A smile appeared on KaiSa's face, and then she asked curiously, "Leave Runeterra? Where are we going? Are there other places besides Runeterra? How come I've never heard of it?"
On this point, KaiSa was completely bewildered.
Because in her mind, Runeterra was already the largest existence; everything belonged there.
"Of course, it's real." Xu Lian said as he opened a time-space tunnel, "If you trust me, I can take you out."
"The place I come from is much larger than Runeterra, and the environment is much better.
If you are willing to leave the Void, then follow me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than KaiSa eagerly clasped Xu Lian's hand!
For her, at that moment, only one thought remained in her mind: to leave the Void.
Where they went was not important, because she had no relatives left here, and Xu Lian had become her only friend, or even family.
In the blink of an eye, the two appeared at Xu Lian's house.
The sight before her left KaiSa silent for a long time, staring at everything in disbelief.
Because she had been in darkness for a long time, suddenly seeing the light was somewhat dazzling yet curious, making her ponder what kind of magical existence this was.
The lights in the room were bright, forming a stark contrast to the dark Void.
It brought KaiSa immense shock.
"What are these things?" She pointed at the lights in the room and asked Xu Lian curiously.
After all, in her understanding, she had never seen anything so advanced.
As a modern person, D.Va, whose Overwatch world is set in the present, has a high acceptance of new technologies in the real world; but for KaiSa, seeing these technologies for the first time was a completely different experience.
Besides being full of curiosity, there was also a little fear, but in her eyes, looking at Xu Lian, there was more gratitude and admiration.
Because she knew that this person had helped her escape that Void.
