Legends of Runeterra

The landing point chosen by the ships was located in the southeast of the Baluo Province in Ionia.

Compared to the unpredictable Waili, this is the most prosperous port in Ionia, and the Wuji Sword Sect is secluded in the high mountains in the west.

Similarly, the Wind Sword School, to which the brothers Yasuo and Yongen belong, also established a dojo in Barue Province.

...

All the ports are pretty much the same, and as areas with a very high human density, there are basically no Vastaya to be seen.

After all, with the expansion of mankind, the original essence was destroyed, causing them to lose their spiritual connection with the land of their birth, making it impossible for them to reproduce normally.

Because it concerns the survival of the race, the relationship between the two in Ionia has always been maintained in a delicate situation.

It is foreseeable that the collision between the two is only a matter of time.

After a short rest and the purchase of necessary supplies, the people on this ship disguised as Noxian spies can move freely.

Li En boarded a carriage and headed towards Barue Province.

Along the way, Li En admired the beautiful scenery that had not yet been destroyed by the war.

All kinds of rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants, these lives unique to the new land, made Li En truly feel the beauty of nature.

That night, the convoy cleared out a camp and rested here.

"Good evening, Uncle Charles, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"It's Li En. We're having fish soup and seaweed rice balls tonight. Wait a moment, the soup will be ready soon!"

"Okay, I'll go relieve myself!"

"Remember to go downstream, and don't go too far!"

Although this handsome, exaggerated and mysterious young man easily knocked down three strong men with bad intentions in front of him in the afternoon, Old Charles still subconsciously reminded him.

"understood!"

The footsteps gradually faded away. Old Charles shook his head and continued to concentrate on making the fish soup.

...

In places where the camp’s firelight could not reach, Li En used the moonlight to easily avoid obstacles under his feet.

The purpose of this trip was simple, just as he and Old Charles said - to relieve themselves.

After finding a relatively suitable position, Li En reached out to the zipper and was about to pull it down.

"Slightly rustling~!"

"kindness!"

Li En glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a squirrel with fur that shone like silver waves suddenly appearing on a branch not far away.

"Zhizhi~!"

After a few jumps, the squirrel disappeared into the air again.

"Squirrels can travel through space!? This is truly a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery!"

With a low sigh, Li En continued with the unfinished work in his hands.

"Ahem~!"

"Shua~!"

Because in Li En's perception, the spatial dimension of Ionia is extremely complex and layered, so for safety reasons, Li En used the long-abandoned [Instant Step].

There was not the slightest hesitation, nor did he try to find out who the other party was. Since he was unable to detect the person with his own heroic rank, one could imagine how powerful the other party was.

[Instant Step] was activated repeatedly, and in a few breaths, Li En ran a thousand meters away.

"Oh~!"

A sigh sounded in my ears, containing a mixture of laughter and tears.

The next moment, Li En found himself on a flat ground with flowers and green grass.

A figure about three meters tall, with limbs and torso made of brown, textured wood, emerald green leaves forming his hair and beard, and a red mushroom growing on the right side of his head, adding a bit of liveliness to his kind and gentle face.

This wooden man, who looked strange but extremely harmonious and natural, was looking at Li En kindly with a smile and his brown eyes.

However, at this time, Li En had already held his breath, ready to surrender to the void at any time.

"Are you...are you the legendary...the Green God Ivern?"

"It's me, kid!"

Ivern's gentle voice was like the breeze blowing through the forest, bringing a reassuring feeling.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have scared you just now, please forgive me!"

Sensing the terrifying power surging in Li En's body, although he was not sure how he was not swallowed up, Ivern spoke to comfort him when he thought about the damage that would be caused to the land after the explosion.

Seeing Ivern's approachable attitude, Li En felt a little relieved. At least the other party would not come up and crush him directly.

The Green God Ivern, also known as Thornfoot and Old Woodcutter in Ionia, was the predecessor of a Freljord warrior known as Ivern the Merciless.

Nearly ten thousand years ago, they competed for supremacy with the three Frost Sisters who had gained the power of the Iceborn.

You should know that Lissandra, one of the three sisters, was blinded by the Freljord demigod, Volibear.

Given Volibear's admiration for primitive things and his aversion to civilization, he would surely not have held back, but no matter what, Lissandra survived.

As for being able to compete with them and survive, one can imagine the power of Ivern the Ruthless.

After the defeat, the unwilling Ivern sailed to Ionia at that time, ready to find a force strong enough to fight against the three sisters.

He led his tribe to kill their way into the Omikayalan forest and found the most sacred object - the legendary "Emperor Willow".

When he chopped off the 'Emperor Willow' with one axe, he fell down in the turbulence of life energy.

The soul was gradually moved by the scenes of reincarnation, and finally, after an unknown amount of time, he became the Green God - Ivern.

The mind is full of thoughts, but reality comes in an instant.

Since the other party did not directly eliminate me, given the other party's style of doing things, I will not be in any danger.

So Li En bowed and saluted.

"Hello, respected Lord Ivern! I am Li En, and I pay my respects to you!"

"Haha, that's not necessary, kid, just call me Ivern, just like Phil!"

Ivern said with a smile, and when he raised his hand, the squirrel with strange fur appeared again.

"Okay...Okay, Ivern...Sir!"

"Well! It's up to you!"

"Mr. Ion, where are we?"

Li En looked around. There was no celestial body in the sky, but it was emitting a soft white light.

"This is the spiritual realm, and this space is also Phil's home!"

Ivern pointed to a tall oak tree not far away. The little squirrel landed along his trunk, waved its paw at him, and then ran quickly towards the tree.

"I see!" Li En nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then Mr. Iweng, is there anything you brought me here for?"

"The one chosen by the spirit of the dragon has been gone for a long time. When you set foot in Ionia, He thought you were pretty good! Because the power of the dragon is too violent, He asked me to send you on your way to the Shuoji Temple to receive the blessing!"

“Ah!? This…”

Li En was a little confused for a moment.

It is known that the power of the 'Spirit of the Dragon' stands at the top of Ionia, and is guaranteed to be a demigod.

Even if it is just a blessing, you may not be able to get it all, but this pie is really too big.

"Don't be surprised, kid. This is the choice of the 'Spirit of the Divine Dragon'. I promise you with the 'Emperor Willow'!"

Sensing that Li En had once again mobilized that terrifying power, Ivern quickly began to explain.

"Besides, you only need to go once. As for whether to accept or not, the 'Spirit of the Dragon' will not force you!"

...

In the end, Li En decided to go to Shuoji Temple. After all, he seemed to have no choice.

Seeing that Li En agreed, Ivern waved his hand, and the grass and flowers on the ground grew rapidly, forming a two-meter-high arch, and then a silver-white vortex formed in the center of the arch.

"Mr. Ion, we can just walk in, right?"

"Yes, it connects to the Shuoji Temple in the material realm!"

"Okay, bye, Mr. Ivern!"

"Goodbye, Li En!"

When Li En reached out and touched the vortex, a huge suction force pulled him into the portal.

Moving quickly through the spiritual realm was like running a washing machine into spin-dry mode, the world was spinning, and colorful lights were exploding before my eyes.

Maybe it was a moment, maybe it was half an hour, the dizzy Li En finally felt a little calmer.

He subconsciously opened his hands and groped around, hoping to find something to hold on to.

"Um!?"

His right hand touched a smooth and soft piece of fur that looked like some animal's fur. The comfortable feeling made Li En subconsciously grab it.

"Yo~!"

A clear deer cry was heard.

"Bang~!"

The huge impact force was like being run over by a dump truck. Li En's eyes went dark and he passed out.
