Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2245 Shurima, Your Emperor is Here

As expected, he was now in the Shurima Desert, the birthplace of the empire that once dominated Runeterra. The Shurima Empire was created by the invincible army of Ascended God-warriors, who united all the desperate southerners and implemented a long-term peace among them.

Few dared to resist. All rebels, such as the cursed nation of Icathia, were ruthlessly trampled. However, after thousands of years of development and prosperity, the ascension ceremony of the last emperor of Shurima ended in failure, causing the entire empire to be reduced to ruins, and the former glory of Shurima was finally left only in the legends of the people.

Today, most nomadic residents of the Shurima Desert must scavenge for the basics of survival in this unforgiving land. Some man small outposts around the few oases, while others sneak into long-lost tombs in search of priceless treasures that should never be unearthed. Still others become mercenaries, scrambling to survive, only to return to dust in the savage desert.

It was normal for Lin Jiu to be teleported here. From the Shurima Empire's creation of the Sun Disc, it could be seen that this Ascended Empire was more or less involved with the Sun Faction, and the former core city of Shurima was located at the foot of the Targon Peak. There was a solar faction on the Targon Peak, the Church of the Blazing Sun.

Then it is reasonable that Lin Jiu, the son of the sun, was teleported to the Shurima Desert instead of the Twin Cities he had been to before. There is also a theory about the location of the Shurima Desert.

The Shurima Desert is located in the southern part of Runeterra, bordering Mount Targon to the west, Ixtal to the east, and Noxus to the north. There is also trade with the Twin Cities, and many nobles in Piltover have mineral resources in Shurima.

After the fall of the Shurima Empire, the environment here became increasingly harsh, with yellow sand as the main landform feature. The tides of yellow sand carved out passages between the rocks, forming magnificent sand waterfalls. The sand dunes in the desert are undulating, like golden waves, constantly changing their shapes under the wind.

There are also many monsters in the desert that have adapted to the harsh environment, such as giant beasts like the Skalash, which can survive and reproduce in extreme conditions.

Despite the harsh environment of the Shurima Desert, there are still a few oases that are a valuable resource for nomads and scavengers to survive.

The oasis exists because there is a long and narrow water vein running through the desert from east to west, providing valuable survival resources for the people here. But even so, most of Shurima is still covered by vast desert.

As a derivative world of a game, although Lin Jiu can roughly understand the background, it is hard to say the combat power of the heroes known in this world. After all, the extraordinary system in this world is very complicated, unlike the Holy Soul system of Yanling Star.

Lin Jiu roughly divided them into several echelons. The first echelon is naturally the Star-Forging Dragon King and his kind who created the various planets and continents after the birth of the universe (mainly based on the new version of the background). The Star-Forging Dragon King is also the strongest among his kind. Other similar ones include the ancient Fire Phoenix, the Weiyin Holy Dragon that creates destiny, and the Qixin Henglong that instills knowledge. The Star-Forging Dragon King is the ceiling-level existence of this world. According to the upper limit of this world, he belongs to the ninth-level combat power.

The second echelon is the star spirits, each of which symbolizes a constellation. The stars were created by the Star-Forging Dragon King, and the star spirits were born from the stars, so they were naturally very humble in front of the Star-Forging Dragon King. But compared to other creatures, they were high and mighty.

This is where the derivative world is interesting. Because it is a "derived" world, affected by the background, the "omniscient and omnipotent" Star Forging Dragon King was actually designed by the Star Spirits to be trapped in one place and steal knowledge and power. If it were in the original world, this world is the ninth level, then the ceiling may be extremely strong, not the ninth level like the Star Forging Dragon King who would be calculated. Arceus, the creator god of the Pokémon world, has not broken through the constraints of the world rank.

The third echelon is naturally the demigods headed by Ornn and Volibear of Freljord. They are naturally gods, but they are called demigods because they were originally natural spirits born before humans. After the emergence of humans, they gradually gathered faith and condensed the godhood, which is the so-called "divine source" and became gods.

The fourth echelon is the Ascended of the Shurima Empire, and later the Darkin, etc. Their origin is the Star Forger Dragon King who was plotted against by the Protoss. By stealing the power and knowledge of the Star Forger Dragon King, they created the Sun Disc, a core item that can gather the power of the Sun Star and enhance the strength of the warriors, and formed the Ascended Army.

The fifth echelon is the pinnacle of humanity, such as Ryze and Blademaster, who have reached the pinnacle in their own fields of practice.

The sixth echelon is composed of ordinary transcendents. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, but they cannot resist the power of the army. Lux, Jinx, Wei, and a certain congressman are all at this level.

This echelon division only refers to the majority of members of these groups, and those outstanding individuals are not included. For example, the mechanically ascended Viktor, the future Viktor mentioned in the background story, wants to pull the entire planet to mechanically ascend, and his strength is at least at the level of demigod. The sword demon among the darkin is not inferior to the demigod, and some powerful demigods are not necessarily crushed by the Protoss.

In short, the rank of Rune Continent is very wide. The fifth and sixth tiers basically cover the combat power of tier 2 to tier 6; the fourth tier is tier 6 to tier 7, the third tier is tier 7 to tier 8, and the second tier is tier 8 to tier 9. The first tier is basically all tier 9 strongmen.

At the same level, it doesn't mean that the characters in the derivative world are weaker than those in the original world, but the contractors have enough intelligence about the characters in the derivative world and can make targeted calculations. As for the characters in the original world, it's good enough if they don't get calculated by those old swindlers.

However, the Star Forging Dragon King is just a weird statistic, and his combat level is not that good. After all, their race was born as the strongest in the world, and they have no combat experience at all. They have always been superior and crushed. Lin Jiu is sure that even if he has just entered the ninth level, he will be able to defeat the Star Forging Dragon King. Anyway, his so-called "omniscience and omnipotence" is like a joke.

Lin Jiu stood on the sand dune and looked into the distance. He seemed to see the remaining broken sun disk of the once glorious Shurima Empire. He put on the title of Son of the Sun and said with a smile: "Shurima, your emperor is here!"

Although he hadn't seen what the main quest was, there was no doubt that gathering the Shurima survivors would be very helpful for his actions in this world. The desert was a mixed bag of people, and it was no longer the overlord of the continent, but there were still a few people who dreamed of recreating the former glory. What Lin Jiu had to do was to spread the news and gather this force.

Of course, there are also tasks to be dealt with at Mount Targon. Mount Targon is located on the west side of the Shurima Desert and is the peak of the world in Runeland. This towering mountain is made entirely of hard rocks, bathed in the scorching sun all year round, and always overlooks the mountains below, magnificent and unparalleled in the world.

And below the Targon Peak is the former capital of the Shurima Empire. Lin Jiu naturally wants to rebuild the Sun Empire there.
