Chapter 9: A Piece of Ionia's Past
There are two shifts today ~ one shift in the afternoon......
Outside the city of Presidium
This is a secluded place, the scenery is beautiful, there is also a waterfall, the sound is like thunder, surging roaring, stirring and churning, the water vapor is cloudy, the pearls are splashing everywhere, each water column, each water curtain, rushing down, hitting the stones of the root of the mountain, touching fragments, like thousands of beads.

On the water above the waterfall, there is a cherry blossom tree, the beautiful cherry blossoms are very dense, some are snow-white and pink, and in the breeze, sometimes hug each other; Sometimes they are singing in a low voice; sometimes bowing his head and whispering; Sometimes he raised his head and laughed, this beautiful scene made people intoxicated.
Beneath the waterfall, Irelia soaked her delicate little feet in the cool water of the river, flipping through an old notebook left by her long-missing brother, who would not have seen it if it weren't for an accident.
Irelia is also extremely beautiful, so beautiful that it is distorted, a red and white sword armor suit sets off her delicate figure, satin-like waist-length black hair draws a beautiful arc in the wind, two red hair accessories add a touch of cuteness to her, big black pearl-like eyes flashing with wisdom, a high nose bridge, and small cherry lips outline a beautiful arc.
This is still an optimistic and cheerful girl, but as Irelia keeps turning over the notes left by her brother, her face becomes more and more ugly. The heirloom blade on the side seemed to feel the emotions of its master, and it also exuded a terrifying aura.
......
The eternal night will forever overshadow the rays of the sun, the moon of hatred has risen, and any light will be gone!
There is a record in the Ionian history that in ancient times, Ionia was in a period of extraordinary turmoil, wars, national turmoil, and no constitution was established to manage and restrain it, so that the people of other countries invaded and divided the land, and the people of Ionia were miserable, just when everyone was in despair, a saving light shone in this endless dark realm, she was the son of the stars, Tisiphone, her appearance brought earth-shaking changes and infinite hope to Ionia.
With her powerful astrological mysteries, Tisiphone punished the people who tried to cause unrest, turning them into starry dust, and all the outlands were forcibly expelled and the lands they had occupied. Tisiphone overthrew the incompetent king, established a constitution for the people, strengthened the management system, brought comfort and life to everyone, and established a constitutional monarchy to avoid the dictatorship of the king, and this feat also brought more admiration to the people for this messian.
Just as Tisiphone was about to leave, the grateful people tried to keep and push Tisiphone to be their empress, and they vowed to follow her forever until death, Tisiphone could not refuse the strong expectations of the people, so she agreed, so she became the empress of Ionia.
During his reign, Tisiphone gathered many excellent mages to form the "Wings of Purification", the purpose of which was to cleanse the evil and expand the righteous light of Ionia infinitely. The existence of the 'Purifying Wings' is another major reform, they use their powerful magic to destroy the villains to bring long-lasting peace to the people of Ionia, and use natural magic to change the veins of the earth that Ionia has been devastated by the battlefield, so that the land of Ionia slowly recovers, and enters the most powerful period of the nation and the people, attracting the envy of all nations.
However, the brighter the light, there is always a dark side that it cannot shine on, and although Tisiphone's light brought a ray of hope to Ionia, its negative effects could not be ignored, all of which quietly changed after Tisiphone learned the secrets of the World Tree. I don't know how Tisiphone learned that there is a big tree growing in the central leyline of Ionia with the breath of God, and the liquid absorbed from it can deify people, I don't know if it is a rumor or it is true, Tisiphone wants to find out, because once the truth of this matter is confirmed, it may bring a crisis of destruction to Ionia, which is the original intention of Tisiphone at that time, so she led the 'Purification Wings' to camp here, and took research measures to confirm the truth of the rumors.
Sure enough, the resin of this big tree can make people rejuvenate, and this is just resin, what will happen if the essence of the whole tree is extracted, when she saw this magical scene, there was a moment when Tisiphone's heart moved, but reason told her that she was here to protect this tree, she was the queen of Ionia, and everything she did was for the people, so she ordered whoever passed on the secret of this tree, no matter who was killed, regardless of rank, so the secret of the world tree was preserved, and only those who knew it were ' Purifying Wings' several high-stage shamans and Tisiphone himself.
Just when Tisiphone was at a loss as to what to do with the matter, the top decision-maker of the 'Wings of Purification' approached Tisiphone to relocate the Imperial City and carry out strict guardianship and study of the World Tree. Tisiphone wanted to refuse, but was defeated by the decision-maker's next words, who told Tisiphone that if he could obtain the full power of the tree, he might be able to deify himself, from a man to a god, immortal and immortal, so that he could not only better protect Ionia, but even conquer other countries and achieve world unity.
Tisiphone had to be moved by these words, especially since being in a high position had a way to take her to the next level, and she would do anything to do it. At first people wondered why Her Majesty had suddenly moved the location of the imperial capital, thinking that it was a better measure to protect them, but what was incomprehensible was that after Tisiphone moved here, all sorts of bad things followed, and for a moment the people of Ionia thought that they were living in purgatory on earth, tsunamis, tornadoes, thunderstorms, pestilences, panic, and people lived in the darkness of the world.
It turned out that all this was because Tisiphone was too obsessed with the powerful magic brought by the World Tree, and began to dig into the tree, the World Tree was originally a sacred object to protect Ionia, and its existence was the foundation of protecting Ionia, and Tisiphone openly dug the tree, which was a blasphemy and disrespect to God, and finally wanted to take away the essence of the World Tree, and God could no longer tolerate the transfer of anger to the people of the entire Ionia, so everything happened.
When some of the cultists of the 'Purifying Wings' could no longer bear the pain caused by the Empress to the people, they resolutely told the people the news, and when the people knew that the Empress they longed for had brought them such a painful experience, there was still a trace of doubt, and they wanted to go to the Empress to verify it with their own eyes. But who knew that Tisiphone had long been obsessed with the powerful magic brought by the World Tree and could not extricate herself from it, and was no longer the original Ionian son of the stars, when Tisiphone personally told the people that she wanted to be the king of the world, everyone knew that she had changed.
In order not to face further persecution, the Ionians fought back, and the opponent was naturally the Empress who brought them stability and destruction. Ionia formed a balanced sect in order to merge light and darkness to maintain peace, and at the same time united with some high-level shamans of the 'Wings of Purification' to declare war on Tisiphone, Tisiphone thought that he had been deified, but he did not know the consequences of deification, God can be immortal and immortal, but it does not mean that the power of God is invincible, what Tisiphone lost after deification was her powerful magic, and she was defeated in the end.
Along with her henchmen, she was led to the Wings of Purification, and when Tisiphone saw Soraka, she was filled with disbelief, a woman who was her friend and another son of the stars who had mastered the mysteries of the stars. Soraka told Tisiphone that he never imagined that Tisiphone would become so cruel and selfish, and that in order to appease the anger of the people, he had to punish the empress who had been loved and believed as a goddess by the Ionian people.
Tessifone is transformed into a night-fearing ghost by Soraka's astrological mysteries, and Soraka uses this to warn Tsiphone that if he abandons the light, he will be abandoned by the light forever. Tisiphone and her henchmen were exiled by Soraka to an island in western Ionia, where the sun shines and there is never night, and the reason for this is to limit Tisiphone's freedom, making her truly alone, during the exile Tisiphone managed to escape but fell into the abyss, but it is certain that she is not dead, and the only credible rumor after that is that she went to the Shadow Isle of the Eternal Night.
Since then, news of the Ionian Empress has been completely blocked, and only the few former Purifying Wings elders who are still alive know about the past.
.......
Although the note has ended here, Irelia doesn't think so, because the note still has traces of being torn off, which is not very obvious, and it is really possible to ignore it if you don't pay attention carefully.
Closing the note, Irelia fell into deep thought.
Irelia never imagined that Ionia had such a past, and that there were two Sons of the Stars! However, all of this made Irelia feel inexplicable, why did her brother write this? And what else is torn off?
"Who?!"
Suddenly, the heirloom blade beside Irelia was pulled by some kind of force, and it stabbed into Irelia's back with a cold glow.
"Little one, don't be so grumpy, the Festival of Fire is coming, can I make an appointment for you?"
The Heavenly Oracle looked at Irelia's incredulous gaze with a grin, the Heirloom Blade actually looked like a good baby in front of the Heavenly Oracle! The obedient is tasted by the oracle!
