Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2269: Alliance under Oppression
Lin Jiu felt the breeze blowing from afar, and stretched out his hand as if to grasp the breeze. He felt a different breath from the wind, and secretly said: "That god has really awakened. Speaking of which, she can be considered as Shurima."

At this time, the former port cities of ancient Shurima are now Zaun and Pilwater. This is the northernmost part of Shurima and was once the largest port city. To the southwest is the vast Shurima, to the southeast is Ixtal; further north is Noxus, and to the east of the bay is Bilgewater Island.

Before the Sungate was developed, the Twin Cities were the place with the most sailors and sea trade in Runeland. It is for this reason that people have prayed to the wind since ancient times. There are sailors who hope for good weather, and oppressed people who pray for change. In short, many mortals place their hopes on the fierce winds and turbulent currents that roar through Runeland.

Sometimes the wind seemed to answer them, and they would see a sky-blue bird appear, followed by a strong wind that filled the sails. As word of these miraculous omens spread, the bird's appearances became more frequent.

Until they saw that the bird turned into a girl. She had long pointed ears and long flowing hair. It was said that this mysterious saint floated on the water and could guide the direction of the wind by gently waving the staff in her hand.

The devout called this wind spirit Jan-Arem, which means "Guardian" in the ancient Shuriman language, because she always seemed to appear in the most dangerous moments. Over time, her name was shortened to Janna.

This is the evolution process of the gods of faith on Rune Continent. The sky-blue bird at the beginning was the natural spirit that symbolized "wind". As more and more people believed in it, it gradually gathered its divine nature and condensed into the source of God, becoming the legendary God of Storms.

Janna's name spread across the shores of Shurima, and the people of Oshravarzuan were among the most fervent of their worshippers. They relied on the calm seas that brought trading ships to the city's harbor. They erected statues and shrines in gratitude for Janna's kindness. Even after the city was annexed by the Shuriman Empire, these expressions of devotion continued.

Lin Jiu was not wrong. Janna, the former storm god, could actually be considered a Shurima deity. But she was not accepted. The ancient Shurima Empire only believed in the sun and the ascended gods. As a result, a Shurima emperor issued a decree prohibiting the worship of "false idols", and Janna's statues were toppled one after another.

Yet even as more and more people began to worship the ascended god-warriors, many still prayed to Janna quietly in secret. After all, could a god-warrior protect a ship from a storm? These people often wore amulets with bluebirds, smaller, more subtle symbols of tribute to Janna.

Janna, the God of Storms, has been dormant for many years. After the ancient Shurima emperor banned the belief in storms, the public belief in Janna dropped significantly. Even if some people secretly believe in Janna, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Of course, this is not the most serious problem. Janna, who is powerful enough as a spirit of nature, is not fragile. What made her sleep for many years was the crisis of Zaun's sinking, and the people of Zaun called for Janna's protection.

Although these mortals had only just remembered her when the disaster struck, Janna did not hesitate to lend a helping hand. A hurricane swept through the city, and she became a physical body. An unimaginable wall of air blocked the raging flood, allowing people to escape their flooded homes. Fierce winds broke through the smoke from the fire.

After this attack, Janna never appeared again and fell into a deep sleep. Lin Jiu believed that something else must have happened. Otherwise, even if it took a lot of energy to save the disaster, it would not cause a god to be seriously injured.

Lin Jiu had learned a lot about Shuangcheng from Victor. After all, that place had many of his former comrades, and he was nostalgic, so he would naturally inquire about it.

The current situation of the Twin Cities is very special. They are in a state of cooperation with some contradictions, but they have to suppress the contradictions and cooperate. The reason is that Victor and his Glorious Cult act as the "Akatsuki Organization" of the Twin Cities, and regard themselves as villains, forcing Zaun and Pierwater to cooperate and fight.

In other words, Viktor first started the war in the twin cities, forcing Zaun and Piltover to form an alliance to fight the enemy. After Viktor led the Glorious Cult to Bilgewater, the class contradictions between Zaun and Piltover began to emerge. The Glorious Cult always kept a covetous attitude towards their two cities, making it impossible for them to have a civil war.

According to Viktor, the people who participated in the Shadow War, such as Wei and Jinx, have become capable of standing on their own. Zaun has even produced many talented people, including a boy named Ekko. Viktor regrets not being able to persuade him to join the Glorious Order. It can be heard that Viktor admires Ekko's talent.

Due to external pressure, Piltover was forced to relax many of its treaties with Zaun. As more and more people from Zaun went out to sea, the belief in Janna was constantly mentioned, gradually awakening this god.

The coronation ceremony of the Solar Empire was not complicated. After Sivir held a sacrificial ceremony in the Temple of the Sun, she came to the throne of the palace and sat down. Lin Jiu stepped forward and put the crown on the empress. Then Sivir announced the establishment of the Solar Empire and stated that the political system was over.

If Sivir and Nasus were to discuss the political system on their own, they would not be able to come up with it in a short period of time. Seeing that Nasus and Sivir began to refer to the systems of the existing kingdoms in Runeterra, mainly Demacia and Noxus, Lin Jiu directly threw the system information of the feudal dynasties in the real world to them. The central government used an official system similar to the three provinces and six ministries.

However, there are not many officials in the Sun Empire now, and they are mainly the leaders of the tribes that first appeared outside of Nerimaj. It is impossible for Sivir to give them high positions right away, after all, they are not patron saints and great scholars like Nasus.

The entire coronation ceremony was open to the public. After all, the founding of the Solar Empire was to inform the entire Rune Continent that Shurima would rise again. What Lin Jiu didn't realize was that among the spies from various forces watching the ceremony, there was an acquaintance of his.

Unlike her peers who subconsciously wanted to hide themselves, this spy stood in the crowd and watched the ceremony. Her posture was upright and her body was elegant, as if every inch of her muscles had been carefully sculpted, showing the perfect combination of strength and beauty.

Her smooth silver short hair, like the sparkling sea under the moonlight, not only shows her competence and decisiveness, but also adds a bit of mystery and nobility to her, showing her aristocratic temperament. People who don't know her identity can't imagine that such a person can be a powerful spy.

Camille's face was delicate and deep, with clear lines on her features, as if she was a work of art drawn with the most delicate brushstrokes. Her eyes, which should have been deep and shrewd, were also surprised when she saw that it was indeed the person she knew who walked up to the Empress of the Empire of the Sun and put the crown on her.

"Son of the Sun, is that really you?"
