LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 250: Method of Becoming a God, Retreat Ends

"I never thought you would do something so crazy."

In the Hexcomm, Azir shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eagle eyes. He stretched out his sharp fingers to touch his face, looked at Rowan and said, "Aren't you afraid that the gates to those planes can't be closed?"

Azir went on to say, "Icathia was like this before. In order to resist Shurima, ancient Icathia found a way to open the void channel. They thought they had found help and could use the powerful beings of the Outlands to resist Shurima. But the consequence was that the moment the void descended on Icathia, Icathia was destroyed. Aren't you afraid that you will end up doing the same thing as the Icathian Mages?"

Luo Wen leaned back and said with a smile, "That's different."

"Whether it's the underworld, the demon world, or other planes, they are all a line that relies on the many planes of Runeland. These worlds are essentially connected to Runeland, just like the relationship between the material plane and the spiritual plane. They complement each other. If Runeland disappears, then the underworld and the demon world will no longer have any reason to exist."

Luo Wen believes this very much, as it is his own experience over the years.

And the demons just proved this point. Demons were born from the desires of the creatures in Runeland, but if there were no living creatures and no desires in Runeland, then what awaits the demons would be slow extinction. Without desire as food, the demons would slowly starve to death.

The same is true for the dead native creatures in the underworld. Without the material plane and the life force provided by Runeland, without the natural death and reincarnation of living beings, the underworld creatures that have lost their "underworld energy" will only end up dying naturally.

This is the law of this planet, and the world planes that rely on this planet cannot escape this law.

Countless years after the demons and undead naturally die out, a new group of creatures will be born in Runeland. They will accept death and reincarnation, and new desires will be born. Then, demons and undead will appear.

Therefore, whether it is the devil or Mordekaiser, they will not actually destroy Runeterra, but control it.

The gates to the underworld and the demon world can't be closed after being opened, otherwise what is the purpose of the key? If the door can be opened at will, why do we need a key?
After hearing what Rowan said, Azir snorted and said indifferently: "Just be sensible."

"Speaking of which, Azir, I have a question for you."

"Ok?"

"Do you know how to break through to the demigod realm?" Luo Wen said.

Azir was suddenly stunned, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eagle eyes. After a moment, he said, "I can't answer this question for you."

"The power of the Ascended Ones does not come from Runeterra. We essentially use the energy of the heavens. Every Ascended One who can become a demigod uses the power of the sun." Azir shook his head and said, "Moreover, in the history of the founding of Shurima, except for Empress Setaka, no warrior has ever reached the demigod realm by his own power."

"Can human power really make a god?" Azir asked Rowan a question. He looked at Rowan seriously and said, "Rowan, you know as much as I do, but search your memory. Have you ever heard of a human becoming a demigod by his own power?"

Luo Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Wait, do the three Ice Sisters count?"

"Oh, Avarosa, Serilda, Lissandra, you have given a very good example. They are known as the ancestors of mankind. Even if they were not the first humans to be born, they were the first to lead mankind to survive, resist powerful forces, and establish a country."

Azir burst out laughing. Even he had to admit that in a sense, he was also a descendant of the three Ice Sisters.

Whether it is Shurima or Ionia, these two city-states with ancient histories all acknowledge one thing, that is, their ancestors came from Freljord.

"But their situations are special. In a sense, they are no longer human. They became deities through faith, luck, and help from Anivia. That's why they became demigods." Azir shook his head.

"The situation of the three Ice Sisters is the same as that of Janna in Zaun now. When human faith reaches a certain level and millions of people believe in it at the same time, the huge faith will be transformed into spiritual power, and this power will change the physical constitution."

“So the example you gave is wrong.”

"That's true, but Azir, you said that Queen Setaka once broke through to the demigod realm with her own abilities. Is this true?" Rowan asked Azir curiously.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there should be people who can become gods through human power, but can mages be counted among them?

To Rowan, Ryze is a human god, but Ryze's situation is very special. Although he possesses incredible magical powers and extraordinary wisdom, his body is only comparable to that of an extraordinary existence.

The so-called demigod refers to someone whose physique and strength have reached the level of demigod. What about Ryze?

He is just a human being. Unlike Lissandra, he needs to eat, sleep and drink water.

It can be seen from Ryze's personal story that in the desert, he would drink water to avoid the heat, and in the cold, he would light a fire to warm himself. He is indeed the only arcane mage in Runeterra, but he is also a human being, not a god.

That's why Rowan didn't tell Azir about Ryze.

Rowan knew that Setaka was strong. Anyone who knew a little about the background story and liked to read stories about the Darkin and the Void would know how strong Setaka was.

Empress Setaka, the first Ascended being, was most likely the founding emperor of Shurima.

This woman gained the recognition of divine power with her mortal body, but now according to what Azir said, Setaka already possessed the combat power of a demigod before she obtained the power of the sun and built the sun disk?
is it possible?

Luo Wen became curious.

Azir nodded and said, "If you know me, you will know that I was not a favored prince when I was young. In order to relieve my loneliness, I liked to hang out in the royal library since I was young. There are all kinds of books in it, and I have read the history of the founding of Shurima."

"If nothing unexpected happens, my ancestor Setaka already had the ability to communicate with heaven and earth before she became an ascender. Because of this, she was recognized by the power of the sun, and she used this power to create the sun disc. Since then, Narimaj has had a sun that never sets. The first emperor also used the sun disc to recruit warriors and established the Ascendant Corps. The powerful Ascendants protected the queen and expanded her territory."

"And the sun disc I have built now is nothing more than a crude imitation of my ancestors." Azir said calmly.

After hearing this, Luo Wen fell silent.

Azir continued: "So if you want to become a demigod, I think these are the only ways."

"First, come to Shurima and join me. I will use the Sun Disc to make you an Ascended One. You already have strength beyond that of ordinary demigods. After becoming an Ascended One, you will gain the power of the sun and will definitely become stronger. I admit that I do want you. I envy Jarvan III for having a talent like you. Your future limit is immeasurable and your value is unparalleled. But I promise you that after you become an Ascended One, you and I will not be king and subject, but friends. I will not restrict you to Shurima."

Rowan immediately laughed and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Azir, but I don't want to turn into an animal."

"You won't necessarily turn into an animal. The ascended forms of our ancestors were human, and you may also become an ascender in human form. Of course, I can't guarantee it," said Azir.

After all, even Aatrox, a warrior who possessed the power to kill gods when he was a mortal, turned into a weasel after becoming an Ascended.

So Azir didn't dare to make any guarantees.

Seeing Rowan shook his head again, Azir did not hesitate. He continued, "The second way is for you to become the god of Demacia. The power of human faith will bless you and turn you into a spiritual being similar to Janna. In this way, you will become a god of Runeterra."

"Wait, Azir, this way of becoming a god is not what I want. I don't want to be restricted. If I become a believer in a god, there will be too many restrictions." Rowan immediately rejected it.

He didn't want to be like Janna, chasing after human wishes every day. You know, when Janna was sleeping, there would be countless human voices in her mind, and her believers would all send pious voices, but... this was not what Rowan wanted.

What's more, although belief in gods is powerful, as long as there are enough believers, it will continue to become stronger, and as long as there is one believer, it will not dissipate and die.

However, this great advantage is also a weakness.

If the power of faith decreases and the number of believers decreases, then the world will become weaker. When Janna was at her weakest, she could hardly even fly. If Rowan becomes the god of faith and really encounters a true god-level existence, he will disappear in minutes.

Therefore, believing in becoming a god is very convenient and powerful, but it is definitely not what Luo Wen wants.

Seeing this, Azir took a deep breath, looked at Rowan and said in a deep voice: "In this case, there is only one last way left."

"Rowen, the gods of Runeterra are divided into local gods and foreign gods. We, the ascenders, are actually foreign gods in essence. Although we have powerful powers, we cannot communicate with the consciousness of Runeterra and use the power of this planet like the local gods. As for the local gods of Runeterra, excluding those who became gods through faith and some unexpected cases, these local gods all obtained the godhood of Runeterra at the beginning of their birth." "The power used by us ascenders is the power of the sun. Whether it is to grow bigger or shrink, no matter whether it is a strange ability, it is all the sun that is communicated. Even now that Shurima has the sun disc, the ascenders all use the power of the sun. Therefore, if you want to become a god and do not want to accept the first two methods, then this is the only way."

Azir's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Leave Runeland, go to the heavens, and find a way to become a god in the heavens."

"."

Rowan was silent.

Azir continued, "Or, you can ask more gods. What I know is limited, and what I say may not be correct. You can ask your demigod friends."

As time passed, everything in Runeland was operating in an orderly manner.

The tribes of Freljord, Ashe and Sejuani have joined the Alliance, and Avarosa and Winter's Claw have also received help from the Alliance. Avarosa has started farming, and the technology of the Twin Cities and the farming technology of Gardemacia allow Avarosa to farm in the ice and snow.

Winter's Claw chose to be a nomad, because Sejuani still maintained her faith in the wild. She did not want to die comfortably in one place, trapped next to a farmland, and live a life of working from sunrise to sunset.

But because of this, the gifts that Avarosa and Winter's Claw give back to the Alliance are different.

Avarosa will give back to the Alliance with seafood and special fruits of the Freljord, while Winter's Claw will give back to the Alliance with iron ore and the meat of various beasts.

Of course, these are the most attractive places in Freljord. If we have to say what is attractive, it has to be the unique natural scenery of Freljord. This is the best place for the development of tourism. Moreover, tourism can also boost the local industries of Freljord.

Because this can attract businessmen from all over the world.

Let's put it this way, this cute little Poro is deeply loved by the wealthy people in the Alliance. The nobles of Demacia now also keep a Poro as a pet. These little guys are extremely intelligent. Not only can they provide emotional value as pets, but if they are well-trained, they can even do the work of servants.

I heard that there is a Poro-focused store in Piltover now, which specializes in breeding special Poros. These Poros can be housekeepers, cooks, and tea masters. As long as you give a bunch of gold coins and sign a guarantee not to harm the Poros, you can buy them.

All in all, things are getting better in the Freljord.

The same is true for Noxus. The country has now completely quieted down and started to recuperate.

The early wars made Noxus poor, but fortunately, Noxus has a vast territory, so it is not difficult to catch up now. After all, many countries in Valoran were destroyed by Noxus.
Ionia has not joined the Alliance, so Demacia is not aware of the local situation.

Bilgewater. Ha, Miss Sarah is very business-minded, and this maritime city-state has also developed rapidly. And what’s interesting is that I don’t know if it’s because Nira appeared in Bilgewater some time ago, the Baru people have been very honest recently. Maybe it’s because the bearded lady issued a new oracle?
In Shurima, the local people still did not accept Azir's rule. They were afraid of the Eagle Father. Therefore, Azir still bore the title of tyrant. However, Azir was not in a hurry. Instead, he searched for the trace of Xerath while slowly consolidating his kingship.

It was on such days that the time came to June of 992.

Six o'clock in the morning, at the gate of the War College.

Two sneaky figures, one with blonde hair and the other with black hair, were carrying bags that were particularly large and seemed to contain a lot of things. They were talking and laughing as they walked out of the gate of the War College.

"You really don't plan to fly?"

"Of course. Why, do you regret it, Lux?"

"No, Luo Wen, this is exactly what I want! If you fly, you will forget the scenery in a blink of an eye. For adventures, it is best to rely on your own feet!"

"But, Luo Wen, is it really okay for us not to tell them this time? I always feel that this is inappropriate."

"Then you go back?"

"."

"Rowen, seriously, do you think I'm a nuisance? Tell me the truth, do you just not want to take me out to play?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Lux, I've already told you, I'm going out to visit a friend and see the world. I'm preparing to break through to a new level, not to play!"

"Haha, visiting friends, sightseeing, what else can this be but fun?"

"Forget it. I can't explain it to you. Let's go. First stop. Well, let's go to Mount Targon. I just happen to have some questions for Soraka."

"Are you really going over there?" The beautiful blonde blinked.

"if not?"

"Ah!" The beautiful girl let out a roar, then jumped up after a run-up.

"Hey, get down! Lux, you just said you were going to rely on your own feet!"

"No way. If we walk to Mount Targon, I'll be exhausted to death! I don't care. You have to carry me!"

"I kissed and touched you, you took advantage of me. Humph, you want me to leave by myself? No way~"

"I'm impressed by you, haha."

The air was moist and a little chilly. Two figures overlapped and walked towards the south of Demacia.

Rowan
The retreat was over. After half a year and using up all his experience points, Luo Wen had already touched the door to the realm level.

But Luo Wen couldn't push open the door.

He asked Lissandra, but Lissandra's answer was that she had no way, and stated that Azir was right. The godhood in Runeterra was limited. Rowan was not an original god, nor was he a planetary consciousness, so those were the only ways to become a god.

Well, Lissandra finally realized that Rowan was not the planet's consciousness, otherwise, how could Rowan be stuck?

There is only a membrane between the rule level and the domain level, but this membrane blocks countless existences.

After being confused for a few days, Luo Wen immediately made up his mind.

In that case, let's go out and take a look.

After all, his method of breakthrough has always been different from others, and the same was true when he broke through at the rule level.

Cultivation does not mean you can just stay at home and practice. If you cannot make a breakthrough relying on the experience points given by the system, then go out and find a way yourself.

If he really can't find a way to break through in Runeland, then Rowan will go to heaven.

There isn’t much time left, but it’s not short either, right?

just
Rowan owes Lux a lot~
Lux was tied up in the War College and made the "Principal" for several years, and little Lacus was no longer happy about it.

And now, Rowan is planning to travel across Runeland with Lux.

I don’t know how long it will take, but even if Rowan and Lux ​​disappear for a few years, I think Runeterra will be fine in the short term.

After all, the troubles have been suppressed long ago!
