In StarCraft 2, the “Infinite Cycle” which the Xel'naga initiate is described as the coming together of “purity of essence” (ostensibly the Zerg) and “purity of form” (ostensibly the Protoss), to ascend as Xel'naga.
From the cinematics:
... and one pure of form - a being capable of vast psionic potential, able to house the essence of a Xel'naga.
and
Then the elders among them will give their lives to bestow their essence, and pure of form and pure of essence will be reborn as Xel'naga.
And yes, the Protoss tag along and moreover are instrumental to the happenings in the Legacy of the Void.
But when it comes to ascension, it seems there is no Protoss part in it. The essence of the Xel'naga is bestowed onto the Zerg and Terrans, but not the Protoss.
Wouldn't that make Terrans the representatives of “purity of form”? After all Kerrigan retains a strongly human form, and is capable of “vast psionic potential” on account of Terran birth and ghost training.
Omission or interesting turn of the story?
