Legends of Runeterra

Happiness needs to be achieved with your own hands.

This sentence is Li En’s attitude towards Zuan.

With his current strength, he can completely use deus ex machina to forcibly raise the status of the people of Zaun to the same level as Piltover.

Even because Li En is highly valued by Janna, he can even use the righteousness of the gods to take the twin cities into his own hands.

Use your own will to shape the twin cities you want.

But Li En had no interest in this at all.

From a strategic perspective, what is the geographical location of Shuangcheng? To put it simply, it is a city built on the basis of prosperous shipping.

Not only is there no strategic depth at all, but one of the cities is even located far below sea level.

There is no need for a large army to invade. As long as someone tamper with the Sun Gate, all the people of Zaun will spit bubbles on the seabed in the absence of Janna to perform miracles.

Why did Noxus, whose territory borders Piltover, simply station a Midalda instead of choosing to invade directly? This may be one of the considerations.

Isn't 'pseudo-neutrality' a kind of 'neutrality'? Noxus only needs to get the biggest share, and the rest will be distributed among various forces.

When doing business, everyone can use it, no one can interfere.

The second is from the perspective of human nature.

Even if you haven't experienced it yourself, there is a proverb from ancient times that "a peck of rice brings gratitude, a stone of rice brings hatred", and there are also some scenes depicting this in modern movies and TV shows.

But Li En didn't want to be 'Clark Kent', nor was he interested in being 'A-Zu'.

He gathered talents, on the one hand to change those people's originally not good endings, and on the other hand, with these talents, the people of Zaun would have the possibility to catch up.

Zaan belongs to the people of Zaun. Only when they earn their happiness through hard work can they understand how hard it is to come by.

Judging from the changes over this period of time, Li En believes that they can achieve that bright future.

All he needed to do was to help the people of Zaun clear away some of the despicable obstacles on this road.

...

"Haaa~!"

"Good morning, Lee En!"

A gentle and ethereal voice sounded, and Li En, leaning on the broad chest, raised his head slightly and looked directly at the flawless face.

"Good morning, Janna."

"Do you want to take a rest? You have been sailing on the sea for so long and have dealt with so many things just after getting off the ship."

Janna said, and before Li En could answer, her fair and slender arms hugged Li En and pulled him into her arms.

Falling into darkness amidst the whiteness of snow, a faint minty fresh scent lingers around the tip of the nose.

After a slight hesitation, Li En gently embraced Janna with both hands.

"Well...well, just sleep a little longer."

"Yes, that's fine. Li En, you should have a good rest."

Caressing Li En gently, Janna had a gentle and joyful smile on her face.

Since saving Zaun from slumber, the number of humans who believe in Janna has been decreasing.

When Janna woke up again, she, who was born out of human faith, had already anticipated that her next sleep might be an 'eternal sleep'.

If Janna was willing to keep the power of her faith and not use it to save others, she could survive for a long time.

But the gentle god cannot do this. Even if she may disappear, Janna still wants to save the suffering people.

As a god who always responds to human prayers, when Janna's last believer was in danger of life, it was Li En who responded to her plea and saved her last believer.

Moreover, in order to save her from falling asleep, Li En, this strange human being, took the initiative to offer his faith and gave her an incredible, huge and pure power of faith.

After that, the Japanese-style industry was established and the belief in the Goddess of Wind was promoted comprehensively.

Zaun has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Janna's followers have reached an unprecedented scale.

All of this was driven by Li En.

To Janna, Li En is no longer just a believer.

Gazing at Li En nestled in her arms, Janna's sky-blue eyes were as gentle as water.

Since Li En left the Twin Cities, even Janna has not been following him all the time except on the sea.

But judging from the increasingly huge and high-quality power of faith provided by Li En, Janna could see that Li En's strength had now reached an incredible level.

Feeling Li En's heartbeat, the two times when she watched helplessly through the glass emerged in her mind. Cana's thoughts surged in her heart, and she no longer hesitated the next moment.

The azure eyes and the pitch-black eyes were close to each other, reflecting each other in their eyes.

...

"Drink some water."

"Thank you."

Janna took the cup from Li En and drank it all.

Putting the cup aside, Janna leaned into Li En's arms.

"That... Li En..."

"Um, what's wrong Janna?"

"Um... next time you pray, can you just call my name quietly instead of reciting the entire prayer?"

"Okay, no problem!"

Seeing that Li En agreed to her without hesitation, a smile appeared on Cana's lips, and the next moment she began to explain.

“Although I don’t know how you did it, Li En, your current ‘personality’ has reached an incredible level. Even I, who possess the ‘godhood’, am not qualified to bear your faith.

If you, Li En, had no ill will towards me, your prayers alone would have been enough to harm me."

"Ah this...I'm sorry Janna."

"It's okay. It's not your fault. Matters concerning gods are extremely secretive. If it weren't for your prayers, Li En, I wouldn't have known about this."

Listening to Janna's explanation, an idea suddenly popped into Li En's mind.

"In that case, if other gods want to harm each other, can they just recite a prayer?"

"No, if that's the case, I won't use 'incredible' to describe your 'personality', Li En."

"Yeah, that's it. I see."

After hearing what Li En said, Janna had a guess in her mind and immediately stood up and looked at the other person.

"Li En, is your enemy a god or something like that? You are not allowed to lie, you must tell the truth!"

“Uh… maybe… should… well, there is.

But not just my enemies, but the enemies of all living things."

“Then don’t think of using this move to influence the other party. I am too weak.

If the god is powerful enough, he may try to turn you into a believer who is forever loyal to him when you pray.

By then, Li En, you will become a puppet that only produces faith!"

"Well, I won't do that Janna, my faith only belongs to you!"

Listening to Li En's gentle but firm words, Janna felt her chest full.

"Lee En~!"

Janna called Li En's name softly and slowly approached.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Wake up, Li En, the sun is shining on your butt!"
