At the foot of the Giant God Peak.

The Titan Peak is recognized as the top of the world in the Land of Runecraft.

The rolling hills, reflected in the light of the setting sun, reflect the glittering golden light, and look extraordinarily magnificent, like a beautiful picture.

And the main peak is even more grand and shocking, from a distance, you can see that it is not in the clouds, high but not peaking.

The surrounding mountains are already high, but the Giant God Peak is even higher, like a giant overlooking the mountains at his feet, majestic and unparalleled in the world.

Legend has it that this towering mountain, made entirely of hard rocks, is bathed in the scorching sun all year round and is the abode of the gods.

When a person stands in front of it, he can easily realize his own insignificance.

And around the Giant God Peak mountain range, there are more or less living groups and tribes, most of them come voluntarily in pursuit of the legendary peaks, and over time, there are more and more people.

For example, at this moment, Lu Qi was at the foot of the mountain range, listening to the person in front of him who was like a tour guide explaining the ancient history of the Giant God Peak and the legend of the star spirits on this mountain.

Few people have seen the powerful Star Spirits with their own eyes, but whoever comes here is a steadfast and religious believer in their existence.

This team, which is like a tour group, is something that Lu Qi just met not long ago, so he simply joins in.

Just listen to what he doesn't know.

As the guide ushered the people into the camp, it was getting dark and the day was over.

Luki's accommodation was arranged in a makeshift tent.

And at Jushen Peak, the scenery is also notoriously spectacular.

The stars are shining brightly in the night sky, and people can look up and see the bright stars, as if they are very close.

The starlight sprinkled on the giant peak, the refracted light, so that the entire mountain range burst out with colorful brilliance, walking in it, like traveling in space, very beautiful.

This scenery is indeed extremely beautiful, and this is still on the periphery, if you get closer to the Giant God Peak, I don't know what it looks like.

After a few glances, Lu Qi returned to the tent, and his consciousness quickly sank into the mental space.

As he channeled the runic energy, strands of silk seemed to become his meridians, existing in his body.

Now that there was only one last step left, he was extremely serious about controlling the energy and swimming through his body.

Time passed slowly, until the last energy, suddenly connected to one end.

The threads seemed to become whole, and as they connected head to tail, the energy began to work on its own, and there was no longer any need for Luqi to be distracted.

The energy stripped from the runes was being absorbed by his body, fused into every drop of blood and every cell.

A tingling sensation came, like a tiny electric current flowing through his body, and Luqi relaxed his body, but there was an incomparably tight feeling.

It's as if every muscle is contracting hard, and tremendous force is emerging from it.

Finally, when the contraction reaches a certain limit, it is suddenly released.

Like a flood of power, it gushed out in an instant, rushing through Luki's body.

This feeling is like breaking through a certain bottleneck and shackles, and the body and mind are suddenly enlightened and renewed.

As Lu Qi used all of this power to get used to it, he moved his body, and suddenly let out a series of bone-dense sounds, like thunder.

The people outside the tent looked sideways and felt strange.

However, the sound disappeared quickly, and Lu Qi slowly exhaled, his eyes were like torches, and the divine light in his eyes was very shining.

"That's it."

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling it carefully.

Now he has separated the energy of the runes into an independent part and integrated them into his body, so that there will be no bad consequences, and he can use part of the power of the runes at any time.

At the same time, these energies also refined his physical body, making his physical strength increase again, stronger than a fraction.

Now his physical body is probably beyond the limits of human beings.

Lu Qi also constructed a complete cycle of these energies in his body, which can be said to be quite stable, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about using it, it can cooperate with the Sun and Moon Meditation Technique to automatically absorb the surrounding energy as a supplement, which greatly strengthens his endurance.

Next.

The tour guide found that Lu Qi had left without saying goodbye, but he didn't care too much about his whereabouts, after all, there are such people every year.

He probably won't see him again.

At this time, Lu Qi had already moved quickly towards the foot of the Giant God Peak, and his figure was like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, it swept past one place after another.

He was ready and decided that he would reach the summit today.

The environment of Jushen Peak is very unstable, it is like the coexistence of the four seasons, and in the summer season, you can still see the snow all over the mountain.

The temperature in the air is also quite lower than in other places.

The bright sunlight spread evenly everywhere, but it failed to melt the snow here.

At noon, Luki arrived at the foot of the Peak.

Here, he could clearly feel that the temperature had become colder, like walking on the snow in winter.

This is the climbing spot that most people choose because there is a normal hiking trail here, and I don't know how many people set foot on this path every year and never go back.

Rao is so, after so much time, it is not deserted here.

Instead, there's a small bazaar with the most reliable equipment for mountaineering, as well as tips for shortcuts.

Of course, the latter is rarely bought.

If you want to take a shortcut, wouldn't it prove that you are not sincere?

If it causes the displeasure of the gods, it will inevitably be too much to lose.

Lu Qi didn't care about this, and at this time he was holding a copy of "Those Things You Have to Know About Giant God Peak" and reading it with relish.

I have to say that the author who wrote this book is a senior fan of Giant God Peak at first glance, and many of the explanations in it are very novel.

From this book, Lu Qi knows a little more about the Giant God Peak.

The first is that the higher you reach the summit of the mountain, the harsher the environment and the more extreme the climatic conditions become, which is why only a very small number of people can reach the summit.

Even some strong people will fall here without paying attention, and the author warns all climbers to be cautious and cautious.

Generally speaking, the Giant God Peak is divided into five areas.

The foothills, the snow, the blizzard, the gem area and finally the summit of the Giants

At the same time, there is no map of the Giant God Peak, because it is impossible for anyone to draw a complete map of the Giant God Peak.

The reason is that the peaks here change strangely every once in a while, so everyone's mountaineering experience is different.

Some people need months, while others it takes a day.

As for shortcuts, there are indeed them, because there are also people living on this mountain.

Lu Qi roughly finished reading the information he needed, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw a person appear in front of him.

His face is handsome, his long hair is flowing, his eyes are extremely peaceful, and his body is much taller than ordinary people.

None other than Tariq.

He was dressed as an ordinary person and didn't seem to want to reveal his identity here.

So Luci went out of the bazaar.

Tariq followed and said, "You're here." ”

Lu Qi looked at him: "Could it be that you called me here for any other purpose?" ”

"Not really." Tariq shook his head in a calm tone, "I just thought you might need this information. ”

Lu Qi asked with interest, "So why are you helping me?" ”

"I'm just repaying a favor, a love I've owed for many years."

Tariq recalls that he is now separated from Demacia, but he always remembers that place, "Because of my dereliction of duty, the entire regiment lost my life, and I was only exiled to the Giant God Peak when I was supposed to be hanged, and I got the opportunity I have now. I can no longer fight for the country and the individual, but the cause and effect owed back then must always be repaid. ”

After being exiled to the Giant God Peak, he resolutely chose to climb to the peak to atone for his sins.

But because of this, he was chosen by the protector Star Spirit and gave him divine powers.

His mission is to protect everything in the Runeterra, and if something is destroyed, his presence is needed.

For example, if a flower is over-picked, it may eventually die out. He had to stop this from happening in advance.

And all these years, he always remembered the sins he had committed.

He swore an oath to be a valiant knight, but neglected his duty when he was needed most.

"Yes, then you can send me directly to the top of the mountain."

Lu Qi was not polite at all, and opened his mouth to say.

Tariq was slightly silent for a moment, and said, "The path to the mountain is controlled by the ruling star spirit, and he watches everything in the stars, even I don't have the right to take people to the top at will." If you want to reach the top, you have to rely on yourself. The process of climbing to the top is very dangerous, I am here."

"Alright." Lu Qi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and walked towards the mountain path, saying, "Then I'll see you at the summit later." ”

Tariq fell silent and looked at his back, but could not speak the rest of the words.

He originally wanted to remind Lu Qi to think it through, but now it seems that there is no need to say more.

He had a premonition that he would be able to see him at the top of the peak.

Lu Qi walked towards the hiking trail and quickly attracted the attention of many people, who came to watch and whispered discussions.

"Another climber."

"You say, 'Can he reach the top?' I think he looks quite confident. ”

"I look at Xuan, his physique is not too strong, I guess he can't go up halfway up the mountain."

"Indeed, I don't think it's funny."

"No matter what, let's pray for him, every climber is worthy of admiration."

"Also, I wish him a smooth journey."

At the end of the day, the crowd fell silent and offered prayers and respects to Luci.

With a poker card in his hand, Luki set in motion, but as his consciousness spread upwards, he was quickly blocked by something like a barrier.

"Don't you allow it?"

Rouge took back the poker and was not ready to make it easier.

Even if he could forcibly break through that barrier, it would obviously incur serious consequences, and it didn't make much sense.

He walked step by step along the mountain road, and his back soon disappeared from people's eyes.

Luqi stepped on the road that I don't know how many people had trodden, and it didn't take long for him to come to the snowy area.

The temperature here is cold, and the snow is already tens of centimeters high, which can swallow the whole foot.

But it wasn't a challenge for Luki, who picked up speed like wind under his feet. As the snow began to fall, the road became rough and difficult to walk as the wind blew on Luki's face.

He came to the Blizzard Zone.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult part of the road mentioned in the book.

But no matter how heavy the wind and snow were, he couldn't stop Lu Qi's pace, and he accelerated his speed more and more, like a brave man, breaking into the overwhelming wind and snow.

The snow suddenly became heavier and heavier, indicating that he had come halfway up the mountain, the road was steep and difficult to walk, and the air had become extremely thin.

Immediately afterwards, the blizzard continued to howl, like a ghost, and the power was amazing, and the cold wind in the cold storage seemed to want to blow people down.

Lu Qi stumbled under his feet, and sometimes stepped on some bones, apparently left by his predecessors, he had become accustomed to it, and he had seen many along the way.

The snow was unusually large, fast and intense, and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead, as if walking in a sand and snow storm.

The temperature also became extremely low, a drop of water could freeze instantly, and frozen ice cubes kept appearing on Luqi's body, scattering as he moved, and so on.

At this point, even he had to activate the energy in his body to raise the temperature.

But this level is not a test for him today.

However, the Blizzard Zone is not over, and he will have to face even more exaggerated Blizzard on the road ahead.

The path is barely large enough for one person to stand on his feet, and he has to follow the protruding path of the mountain, where countless climbers may have been blown off the cliffs.

Luci continued on his way, and then he saw a river of ice swimming upstream.

On the mountain, it seems to flow backwards, and the clear blue river is frozen there forever, and at the same time, countless bones are frozen.

"Boom!"

The mountain began to tremble, and countless pieces of debris fell overhead, hiding in the blizzard, taking it by surprise.

So he raised his sword and fell, slashing the boulders that struck.

Suddenly, a strange roar was mixed with a blizzard, and a monster as huge as a tiger and leopard leaned against the wall, and it moved extremely fast.

But they didn't delay for even a second, and with a flash of sword light in the heavy snow, the corpses of several monsters fell off the cliff and were sealed here forever.

Further on, the trail disappears, and you can only climb the slightly sloping peaks with your hands.

At this point, we really start to set off towards the top of the mountain.

For Lu Qi, he was still walking on the ground, he just jumped hard, it was more than ten meters high, and then he only needed to throw out the blade of the sword to fix it on the wall.

Repeatedly, Lu Qi kept climbing upwards, his figure barely visible in the heavy snow, but he climbed upwards rapidly.

It didn't take long for Luqi to arrive in the fourth area, the Gem District.

There were new paths here, and there were even strange creatures with the characteristics of stars, like elves, shining brightly, and their eyes were looking at him curiously.

And the most common thing is the hedron that exists everywhere.

The colorful spars are spread at will, reflecting the beautiful light, and each gemstone is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

The graceful brilliance envelops it, as if to dispel the chill of the body, and a soothing warmth rises, and the body and mind are relaxed.

Seems like a good place to rest.

However, Luqi ignored all of this and continued to climb upward, and the moment he stretched out his hand, the biting cold wind returned again.

He had already seen that those so-called gems and spirits were illusions.

If you are really confused by this illusion and want to rest here for a while, I am afraid that your body will be frozen and stiff before you know it.

In this way, continuing upward, when the surrounding blizzard finally dissipates, Luqi arrives in the real gem area.

An upward staircase appeared in front of them, and on both sides of the staircase there were hedrons of various colors, some floating in the air like that.

It turned out that before I knew it, it was dark, and the starlight shrouded here, exuding strange colors.

The stars in the sky are densely connected into one constellation after another, which is clearly visible here, and they are all different from the constellations in Luki's impression.

In the distance, huge white-haired birds flew by, chirping.

A unicorn glittering with silver gleaming spp. was drinking by a hedron lake, and a small unicorn frolicked beside it.

Butterflies fluttered at will, and a huge creature with a starry flame burning on its back, crouched on another protruding cliff to cast a deep gaze.

There was also an even larger two-headed starry beast, covered in the color of the starry sky, powerful and mysterious standing on a raised knoll, with one eye on its two heads also looking at him.

Perhaps this is the true face of Lushan Mountain of the Giant God Peak, all kinds of strange creatures that have never been seen in the land of runes, and they live here in harmony.

And on this peak, there are also human races, living with these creatures.

Just as Luffy was about to take a step towards the staircase, a voice sounded behind him.

"Walking up the ladder, you will face the final test. If you fail, your efforts when you come will be wasted, and even if you pass the test, you may not be favored by the star gods.

Or you can consider joining us and becoming a god-worshipping person who lives in symbiosis with the gods at the peak. ”

Turning his head, a short old man with a cane in his hand stepped forward, his gaze was peaceful, he was wearing a cloak printed with constellations, and his aura was mysterious.

Luci glanced at him, then turned around and climbed the stairs.

"I don't fail, and I don't crave the favor of the star gods, it doesn't matter to me."

His words made the old man stunned in place, watching his back go away step by step, opening his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

It was the first time he had seen a climber who had walked here say such a thing.

Do you want to be individual?

Want to use this to get the attention of the star gods?

However, the old man did not expect that it would not be long before he would witness a moment that was destined to be unforgettable.
