Chapter 66: Giant God Peak

The Giant God Peak is the top of the world in the Rune Continent, and the area where he is located is even more mountainous, far forgotten, the undulating peaks surround a peak that reaches straight into the sky in the true sense, as if the stars are arching over the moon and the ministers are worshipping. Composed entirely of hard rocks, this towering mountain is bathed in the scorching sun all year round and forever looks down on the mountains beneath its feet.

The Giant God Peak retains the most primitive civilization, and the people here are in the most primitive state in terms of technology and magic, and the use of life is at the most basic level, and there is not even a teleportation array! Living here is out of reach for many, and only the most determined seekers are blessed to live here and enjoy the gifts of the gods.

The Giant God Peak is the mysterious birthplace and the mysterious endpoint, where many legendary stories have developed, and there are also many heroes buried here! Because like other mystical regions, the Titan Peak is a bright beacon that attracts dreamers, madmen, and adventurers. It is rumored that there is a limit of strength on the mountain, an opportunity to break through, a library of the gods, and for these brave people will try to climb this mountain, some in search of wisdom and enlightenment, some in pursuit of glory or some kind of longing in the depths of their souls.

In history, no one has reached the top, in fact, there is a criterion for climbing the Giant God Peak, and when it is strong, it is strong! It is rumored that if God forcibly climbs, what awaits him will be the fall of the nebula and the calamity will continue! There have been people who have failed to climb back to tell the people underground that they have seen a large number of divine remains on it, and even saw a mysterious woman frozen halfway up the mountain, life and death do not know, but the breath is so terrifying that even if you look at it, you have a feeling that your soul has been withdrawn!

The inhabitants of the underground will warn all climbers that if you really want to go up, then in order to catch the 1 in 10,000 chance, remember to be less curious and more vigilant!

Throughout history, among the people who have successfully climbed the Giant God Peak, ordinary people occupy the majority, most of them are unwilling to accept their blandness, or there are reasons why they have to obtain power, these people have succeeded in reaching the top with extraordinary courage and perseverance, and some luck factors, some of these people have come back with eyes full of confusion and emptiness, and some have successfully gained the power to become star spirits, full of a transcendent and inhuman energy, and have been given a fate that only a few mortals can understand. But whoever it was, none of the people who came back could say what was on top of the mountain.

There are many records about the star spirit in Valoran's history books, and these records naturally revolve around the Giant God Peak. The sky around the Giant God Peak shimmered with astral entities at all times; A scorching sun, several bright moons, constellations, planets, comets that flow in the night, and many stars are arranged in many beautiful stars. The people living at the foot of the giant peak believe that these are all spirits of astral gods who disappeared long ago. They are powerful ancient creatures, beings far beyond human comprehension, no less than heroes! It is even rumored that the real star spirits are gods, powerful gods! Some believe that the divine power of these star spirits will glow with a soft light and descend down the giant peak, and their carriers are those who are qualified to reach the summit. This kind of event of the incarnation of the star spirit is very rare, and everyone who is chosen as a carrier creates a peerless legend.

According to Cessna's information, it is rare for more than one star spirit to appear in Runeterra, so the recent rumors of multiple star spirits appearing at the same time have made the people around the giant peak creepy and panicked. What kind of threat is brewing that requires so many powerful spirits to fight together?

There are many, many rumors that are even more legendary than the star spirits, the more common ones are about the samurai who have been infused with divine power and fall from the sky to slay demons, and the more bizarre ones are about the gods and their astral dwellings falling into the mortal world and turning into the gods. Some legends even go so far as to say that the mountain is actually a sleeping ancient giant.

There are successes in climbing Shenfeng, there must be losers, most of these losers died on the mountain, and the mountain became one, turning into the nightmare of the next climbers, but there are also a small number of people who survived, most of them chose to camp at the foot of the mountain, and in the perennial life, these eventually turned into one tribe after another at the foot of the giant god peak.

Many of these tribes have chosen to integrate into the area, and they call themselves the Rakor people. These tribes have endured harsh weather for thousands of years in the harsh and harsh lands surrounding the foot of the mountain. The Rakor people carved out their markets, homes, bridges, and temples by the mountain. The circular stone dome symbolizes the starry creatures that created this world. Some families also carve marks on the stone next to the door, both as a memorial to the moment and as a family history that can be traced back to future generations. These people are united by their faith, believing that the mountain is the structure of a monolith, and that living in the shadow of this immortal stone tower is a true call to mystical power. Who built these towers, if they were actually built? For what purpose? The answers to these questions are unknown, as it is never impossible for mortals to understand the minds of the creators of these towers. Maybe it's pinning their hopes on others, and whenever a climber appears, they offer blessings and revelations, and see off these brave people in cheers, because they know that death will come next for these climbers!

The Lakore people at the foot of the mountain share the same religion, the Cult of the Sun, a sun-worshipping sect whose teachings reign supreme in the land. The Sun Cult's highest temple sits on the eastern slope of the Giant Peak, and to reach it is to traverse the bottomless canyon with crumbling rope bridges, climb weathered and etched steps, and glove the narrow boardwalks on the outer side of the cliffs under the gaze of ancient symbols and statues.

As the largest religious group in the Giant God Peak region, the Sun Cult believes that the sun is the source of all life. For them, all other rays of light are hypocritical and threaten the future of the Rakor people. The Temple of the Sun sits on the slopes of the Giant God Peak, where devotees are taught dogmas. Their Templar Rahorlac, trained in harsh conditions, guarded their lands from foreign armies and purged them of all heretics in the name of justice.

Almost all Lakoles are devotees of the sun, but there are exceptions. When chatting with Soraka again, Soraka revealed that thousands of years ago, the faith at the foot of the mountain was not only the Sun Cult, but also the Bright Moon Sect! Even to this day, there are still many Rakol people hiding in unknown corners and silently believing in this sect, these people have dedicated their lives to the Bright Moon Sect, they secretly worship the light of the moon, and carefully hide their faith from the Burning Sun Sect. Because the latter were not only numerous, but also saw them as dangerous infidels.
