Chapter 138 Confirmed Evidence: There Was Real Evidence on Site [16 Updates]

Everyone's pupils immediately dilated, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The scene they were witnessing was simply too surreal!

Yes! Magical! This can't even be categorized as science fiction; it might even have a touch of fantasy!
Because right there in the sky above the massive Magpie Nest Stadium, which was being broadcast live, a giant dragon had appeared!
Its ferocious face, enormous size, and terrifying wingspan.

For any player of League of Legends, the thing, or creature, hovering above the stadium right now is no stranger.

Isn't this the most important neutral resource in the game, bar none? Taking it down guarantees victory—the Elder Dragon!

The Ancient Dragon is the last dragon to appear. It is a neutral creature that usually appears after one team has collected the Dragon Soul. Once you kill it, you will get the Ancient Dragon buff. From then on, your enemies will be as fragile as paper in front of you. There is a kill threshold. As long as your health touches the kill threshold, you will be killed on the spot.

So this thing is familiar to any player.

But that's the problem.
Now the question is, what is it?

Not at all!
While it's perfectly normal for in-game characters and resources to appear at esports world championships, the problem is... where the hell are you?!
How did this thing end up in real life? It just appeared in a stadium like that?
"A holographic projection?" Xiao Zhongge was dumbfounded: "But it doesn't look like one. The texture is too realistic, just like a model!"

In everyone's mind, the technology of holographic projection is not yet very mature, and it is also pseudo-holographic projection, which looks unreal and still has a sense of illusion.

But the dragon they're seeing now looks so real.

Just like the other viewers watching the live stream in the comments, every single one of them was stunned by the opening ceremony presented by Xia Shen and Zhou Yumeng.

"Mom, I saw a dragon!"

"Now I can go out and tell others that I've seen a dragon."

"My brother wasn't lying to me. There really are dragons in the world! They've all come to the capital and to the magpie's nest!"

"A generous gift of crab! That's fucking sacred shit!"

"How did they do that? What technology do they use? Can we see it live?"

"If we could see this live, that would be incredibly impressive. What level of technology does our country have?"

"I'm speechless. When this scene came out, it really made me realize that all the previous opening ceremonies of the finals were like children playing house in comparison."

So shocking!

In the video, the ancient dragon circled the stadium once, then flew close to the stands, casting a huge shadow over everyone in the audience.

You could also hear a chorus of gasps and cheers from the crowd, which were noticeably louder than before.

This left viewers watching the live stream even more confused.

With all the shouting and exclamations, could we actually see this thing in person?
This is absolutely awesome!
Finally, the ancient dragon landed on the stage, roaring deafeningly, accompanied by an epic soundtrack that continuously assaulted the hearts of the audience.

Finally, the ancient dragon, which had shocked everyone, flapped its wings and flew away, leaving the stadium.

Zhou Yumeng reappeared on screen, holding a microphone and bending over backwards.

"Legends never die—"

The performance continued, although it was the same song as before.

But after the incredibly stunning visuals of the Ancient Dragon's appearance, listening to this song now gives a completely different feeling. It's already an exciting and inspiring song, perfectly fitting the theme of esports, and now it's further enhanced by the visuals and the live performance.

The emotions reached an absolute peak until the very end of the song.

With Zhou Yumeng and Xia Shen leaving the stage, the competition officially began, and the first team to face off took to the field.

One of the teams is none other than LPL's fourth seed this year! They're facing off against a Korean team!
Before the race, everyone was not optimistic about this first leg.

After all, they are the fourth seed, facing the second seed from the Korean LCK.

The difference in strength between the two sides is still quite significant.

No one felt there was much hope of winning; their only hope was to see their team go the full best-of-five series.

But perhaps because of the opening theme song, this team displayed an astonishingly extraordinary burst of energy.

The team's level of excitement and performance far exceeded everyone's expectations.

In particular, one player who had been criticized since the beginning of the regular season and whose performance was extremely poor, has rediscovered his form and has actually started to carry the team.

It was incredibly fierce and outrageous, with an absolute advantage of 3:1, securing a direct victory in the first leg!
A resounding success!

This completely ignited the emotions of all players and viewers, and boosted everyone's morale!
If you win the game, you'll get attention.

The entire internet is now discussing this World Championship.

The extraordinary performance of the Chinese team, in particular, led people to connect it with the opening ceremony.

"I think it's more or less related to the opening ceremony. After all, think about it, if you were a contestant and you saw such an opening on such a stage, with such a breathtaking scene, how could you possibly lose?"

"I have to say there's one thing you absolutely have to admit: no matter how well any event was held abroad before, once it comes to China and is held in China, all those who take over will live in China's shadow. Compared to them, what China holds is like a god, and what they hold is like an ant."

"The live performance was absolutely stunning, especially Zhou Yumeng's singing skills and the exquisite nature of Xia Shen's song. I would call it an insurmountable mountain among all the theme songs for the League of Legends World Championship!"

"He has already ascended to godhood!"

The audience was incredibly excited, and the reviews for "Legends Never Die" were exceptionally high! They reached an all-time high!
Given their immense popularity and attention, another crucial point of interest for them is whether the dragon actually exists on site.
Most people watched the live stream, and they were deeply impressed by it.

Finally, someone from the scene came forward to answer the question and even released a video.

It really happened on site!
As you can see in the videos taken by the audience, an ancient dragon can actually be seen hovering above their heads!
Although it certainly lacks the quality of a live stream, it looks very unrealistic.

But at least you can actually see it in person!

This also shocked countless people.

It wasn't until the organizers themselves came out to respond.

Regarding the Elder Dragon issue that has garnered significant attention from players and fans, we utilized China's latest 5D color projection holographic technology, developed in 2026, and brought it to the opening ceremony. This represents a tremendous technological innovation and breakthrough, and the remarkable achievements belong to all Summoners.

Subsequently, we performed some real-time post-processing using real-time effects and AI technology to achieve a better effect during the live broadcast, and as it turned out, we succeeded!
