As night fell, the battlefield had been completely cleared.

Mountains of corpses of void creatures were reduced to ashes in the flames of the left pool, and the snowfields were once again covered in snow.

Standing alone in the snow, Zuo Chi looked up at the sky, his body was gradually becoming transparent, as if there was a universe inside, and many stars appeared in his body.

The stars shone brightly, and Zuo Chi's body gradually disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, he was once again back at the top of the entire Runeterras, the peak of the Titan Peak!

Looking at it, compared to the last time I left, the peak of the giant god has recovered some vitality, at least the building where the star spirits live has been built again.

Sensing Zuo Chi's appearance, almost in an instant, the entire Giant God Peak became like a great enemy.

Almost all of the Star Spirits rushed out of their residences and hurried towards Zuochi's side.

For all this time, since Zuo Chi killed the Righteous Giant God and shattered the only portal between the Runeteres Land and the Heavenly Realm, the Star Spirits on the Giant God Peak had never received a message from the Heavenly Realm.

They had no way of knowing what was going on in the Celestial Realm, nor what decisions the Celestial Realm had made.

They can stay at the top of the Giant God Peak passively, waiting for the edict from the Heavenly Realm.

Soon, Leona and Tariq appeared in front of Zuochi.

Speaking of which, compared to the confusion of other star spirits and celestial beings, the two of them were one of the few star spirits who could talk to Zuo Chi for a few words.

"Is there something wrong with your Excellency?" Leona stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

Zuo Chi looked at the star spirits in front of him, and he asked:

"Leona, if my body goes outside of the Runeterra, will I be able to return unharmed?"

"You're leaving?"

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Leona's face.

Zuo Chi shook his head: "It's just that there are some things that need to be left temporarily." ”

Facing Zuo Chi's burning gaze, Leona said slowly after a short thought:

"If you don't have the ability to break free from the rules of the Runeterra, you'll be forced to give up a lot of things when you want to re-enter the Runeterra."

Zuo Chi's eyes moved slightly, and he could naturally understand what Leona meant by "getting rid of the rules of the Runeterras".

Just like when the Righteous Giant God descended to the Land of Runeteres with the body of Kyle, who had ascended to the top of the God Rank, if he wanted to descend to the Land of Runeteres as a true god outside the sky, he had to find ways to break through the rules and restrictions of the Land of Runetimes.

This rule has been in place since the inception of the Runeterras, and has protected the Runeterras from countless invasions from beyond the sky.

Now Zuo Chi has advanced to the true god, due to his status as a native creature in the land of runetimes, he can move freely in the land of runetimes without being restricted by rules, but once his body leaves the land of runetimes, then he will also be like those giant gods, and he will no longer be able to easily return to the land of runeterra.

It's just that

Zuo Chi looked up at the boundless sky, his eyes were incomparably deep.

With his current status, can he really compete with dozens of Void Monitors?

Although he had already killed five watchers with Bervis, Zuochi knew how difficult it could be.

If that's true for five watchers, what about the next dozen.

In order to be able to win the war with the Void in the future, it seems that Zuo Chi must find strong enough foreign help.

And in Zuo Chi's memory, the only person in the known universe who has actually destroyed the Void Rift seems to be the only one person.

That's the Dragonlord of the Stars, Aurelian Thor!

It was the predecessor of Acacia's Void Rift, probably thousands of years before the First Void War.

At that time, the Void Rift appeared for the second time after the Wailing Abyss Rift in the North, and Thor was also sent by the previous War Star Spirit to enter the Runeterras to suppress the Void.

Thor soared above the sky, he felt the evil aura lurking in another plane, and even more the provocation of the watchers!

The furious dragon's breath across the sky destroyed everything in its path, and even the Void Rift where many watchers existed was destroyed in an instant.

Even in the process, Thor's overflowing aura of power also turned the previous generation of war spirits into ashes.

After this seal, thousands of years later, the mages of Acacia once again discovered the existence of this void in the depths of the earth, and Acacia and the Empire of Ancient Shurima fell into an eternal nightmare.

Searching for memories, it is as strong as the Gushurima Empire, which has thousands of ascendants, but it is still unable to compete with the Void.

It seems that Thor is the only one in this world who has the ability to completely destroy the Void Rift.

Zuo Chi knew this, which is why he wanted to leave the Runeterras at this node, find Thor, and ask for his help.

Just when Zuo Chi was stunned, Leona's voice sounded again:

"If you are not fully prepared, you better not leave the Land of Runeterra, otherwise when you return, you will most likely become like Soraka, forced to abandon the Godhead and most of the divine power."

Zuo Chi came back to his senses, and he nodded lightly to Leona.

"I understand."

As if thinking of something, Zuo Chi said to Leona, "How is the Sun Sect doing now?" ”

Leona's breath froze, and then she adjusted her mood and said:

"I ordered the internal policies of the Burning Sun Sect to be adjusted, and now the Burning Sun Sect will no longer rashly interfere with the beliefs of the people of the Giant God Peak, and will not even clash with the Bright Moon Sect."

Hearing this, Zuo Chi just smiled and nodded.

Turning his head to look at the surrounding star spirits and celestial creatures, Zuo Chi waved his hand lightly: "It's all gone, I'm not here for you." ”

After that, Zuo Chi didn't pay attention to the gaze of the surrounding star spirits, and rose to the sky under the gaze of a group of star spirits, turning into a starlight and heading straight into the sky.

Originally, the peak of the giant god peak was already infinitely approaching the top of the Runeteres, and at this time, as Zuo Chi continued to rise, he could feel the changes in the rules of power around him very obviously.

Due to the extreme speed of flight, a fiery red streamer appeared in front of Zuo Chi's body, and the temperature on his arm was rapidly rising.

The surrounding light gradually dimmed, as if it had once again appeared in the vast stars.

However, Zuo Chi could feel that he was still in the Rune Land, but he was infinitely close to the barrier between the Rune Land and the outside of the sky.

Finally, Zuo Chi's rising figure slowly stopped, and he raised his hand and touched it forward.

At this point, Zuo Chi could clearly perceive that the constant pressure around him had become extremely powerful, and even a demigod-level existence might not be able to withstand this pressure.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Zuo Chi's hand lightly touched a barrier made of many mysterious runes, and a burning pain came from his fingertips.

Zuo Chi endured the sharp pain and raised his other hand, vainly trying to forcibly tear open the rune barrier in front of him with his two hands.

However, with Zuo Chi's gradual exertion, he found that he couldn't break through this barrier with his own strength alone.

You must know that Zuo Chi now already has true god-level combat power, but even so, he still looks so powerless in the face of this barrier.

Perhaps this is also the reason why even a powerful being like the Giant God Clan can't easily enter and exit the Runeteres.

In the end, after all the attempts, Zuo Chi had no choice but to give up.

However, after all, Zuo Chi had already come to the highest point of this rune land, and he was only left with this barrier in front of him outside the sky.

If he left like this, how could he be willing?

His body was gradually wrapped in golden flames, and Zuo Chi's figure began to rise, and many stars in his body lit up with brilliant light at the same time.

The next moment.

"Roar!"

The roar of the giant dragon that resounded through the sky suddenly sounded, and many rippling ripples suddenly appeared on the barrier in front of Zuo Chi.

And with the appearance of these ripples, the other side of the barrier also transmitted power fluctuations into the distant starry sky.

Sensing this, Zuo Chi once again increased the output of his power, and a mouthful of dragon breath slammed into the barrier, and while the barrier vibrate, it was also transmitting information to the starry sky on the other side.

One message after another was passed out by Zuo Chi using this special method, and he was also waiting for Thor's response.

So it was almost certain that with Thor's level of strength, he could perceive his message almost instantly.

However, with the passage of time, although Zuo Chi has been sparing no effort to try, he has never received the slightest response, and even Zuo Chi once wondered if there was something wrong with his approach.

And the starry sky outside the Runeterras seemed empty and lonely at this time.

The huge figure that had always surrounded the Runeterras was now gone, leaving only the stars running for eternity.

Maybe Zuo Chi's method was not wrong, but he subconsciously ignored one point, that is, Thor would not always stay outside the Runeterras.

If it was before, when the Titan had already carved out a majestic empire across the star field, they wouldn't need Thor to do anything more, they just needed to be on standby outside the Runeterras.

But now, after what happened to the Righteous Titan before, it seems that the Titan is already making some preparations.

And Saul's departure may be precisely for this reason.

In the silent deep air, Zuo Chi was quietly suspended, wheezing violently.

After a long period of power tilting but not getting the desired result, Zuo Chi's expression couldn't help but be a little lost.

Because it's not just a matter of not finding Thor, it's also about the subsequent war with the Void.

But even if he knew what was at stake, what could he do if he couldn't break through the barrier in front of him?

Standing in the deep air for a long time, and finally with a long sigh, Zuo Chi's figure slowly disappeared in place.

Once again, the extraterritorial barrier of the Runeterras returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Unable to find foreign help, Zuo Chi returned to the summit of the Giant God and swept all the way in the direction of the Shurima Empire.

Aside from Thor, the Shurima Empire seems to be the only one that has briefly defeated the forces of the Void, so perhaps he can get some of the information he needs there.

Soon, Zuo Chi appeared in the imperial capital of Shurima, and it was at this time that he discovered the lively atmosphere in the imperial capital.

Looking down from the sky, Zuo Chi saw the Ascendant Legion who had been greeted by the people of Shurima and returned triumphantly in golden armor!

Dressed in golden armor and armed with a blue-gold greatsword, Aatrox walked at the front of the group, followed by Verus, Cain, and members of the former Aatrox Darkspawn Legion.

It is clear that Piltover and Zaun are now in the possession of Shurima, who has once again shown his fangs to the empire on the continent of Valoran after thousands of years of silence.

On the other side, Aatrox and the others, who were originally walking on the Imperial City Avenue, seemed to have a feeling in their hearts, and at the same time looked up at the sky in the distance, and it was also at this time that the eyes of Zuo Chi, who had not been seen for a long time, intertwined together.

"Zuo Chi!?"

Aatrox's voice was full of joy and surprise, and he even rubbed his eyes in disbelief, for fear that he had seen it wrong.

The other Ascendants were also looking at Zuo Chi, each with a smile on their faces.

Once, when they were spurned by the world, it seemed that the only one who could stand by their side unswervingly was Zuo Chi in front of them.

They have gone through so much together, whether it is the Second Darkspawn War or Shurima's Restoration War, Zuochi has pulled them back from the brink of death more than once.

Zuo Chi is now their great general, but he is also their best friend.

Zuochi was also laughing, and he fell from the sky and came to Aatrox and the Ascended to the sound of the salute of the people of Shurima around him.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zuochi and the Ascendant Legion went to Shurima's palace together.

Old friends were reunited, Zuochi and Aatrox and the people of the Ascension Legion chatted about each other, and here, he didn't need to have any scruples.

And the members of the Ascension Legion also noticed the anxiety in Zuo Chi's eyes, and they didn't take the initiative to mention it, but they were all waiting.

When Azir also came to the main hall, Zuo Chi's face was heavy and explained the worries in his heart.

"Void rifts have also appeared in the northern realm of the Valoran Continent, and the scale is much larger than that of Acacia's."

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Aatrox and the others all showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Zuo Chi continued:

"I sealed the void crack for a short time, but it was only for a short time, maybe it won't be long before the seal will be broken and the void will reappear."

"I'm coming back this time to ask you how you can permanently seal the Void Rift and make it never appear again!"

Zuo Chi's words fell, and there was a brief silence in the hall.

After a moment, Aatrox asked, "Zuo Chi, is the void rift you are talking about beneath that abyss?" ”

When Aatrox was briefly lodged in Zuochi's arms, he had gone to the bottom of the Howling Abyss with Zuochi, so when he heard Zuochi's words, he instantly remembered this experience.

Zuo Chi nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

"Do you remember what I told you at the beginning?"

Aatrox said softly, "When we were in Acacia, in order to seal the Void underground, it was Horlock who went deep into the Void and destroyed the Void Heart, which was protected by many Void creatures, so that we were able to successfully seal the Void in the outside world. ”

"Void Heart"

Hearing this name again, Zuo Chi couldn't help but fall into a deep groan.

And just as Zuo Chi was groaning, Aatrox's voice came again, and this time with a clear sobering tone:

"Zuo Chi, the danger of entering the Void is extremely high, and the possibility of being infected by the Void is almost one hundred percent, and Horlock is the most obvious example."

"After he succeeded in destroying the Heart of the Underworld, he was ultimately unable to withstand the backlash of the Void Energy, and became the first of us to die. So, if you want to seal the Void by destroying the Void Heart, then be fully prepared! ”

With that, Aatrox slowly stood up and came to Zuochi's face.

He slowly slapped his hand on Zuo Chi's shoulder, and his eyes intersected with him:

"I'll walk with you when I leave this time!"

Zuo Chi shook his head without hesitation: "Absolutely not, the Shurima Empire has just begun, you must not have any accidents, otherwise who can help Your Majesty?" ”

Seeing that Aatrox was still ready to insist, Zuo Chi immediately asked:

"Is there any other way than to destroy the Void Heart?"

Aatrox shook his head: "Even the Void Heart method was experimented with by us after losing countless compatriots, as for the other methods, if they really exist, they may also need a huge price to discover." ”

"Is that so?"

Zuo Chi muttered in a low voice.

None of the people in the hall spoke, they looked at Zuo Chi quietly, and everyone's eyes were flooded with violent fluctuations.

After a long time, Zuo Chi grinned at everyone and said very easily:

"Take it easy, it may be a long time before the seal is broken again, I still have a lot of time to prepare, you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, there are still wives and children waiting for me at home, so I'll withdraw first. You have been fighting abroad for so long, so let's report to Your Majesty about what has happened during this time. ”

Zuo Chi said, he bowed his hand slightly to Azir, and then waved his hand at Aatrox and the others.

"I'll come back to you in a while, and I'll have a good time with you then. Now I need to go home and say goodbye, bye-bye! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Chi's figure slowly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already on the vast snowfield beyond the Wailing Abyss.

When he was really alone, Zuo Chi's originally relaxed eyes also dimmed completely.

Examining his hands without a god, Zuo Chi knew that there seemed to be no more suitable candidate to enter the Void and destroy the Void Heart than himself.

After all, who would be able to enter the Void under the protection of dozens of Void Watchers and go to the Void Heart?

I'm afraid that others don't even know what the Void Heart is.

It's just that, recalling Aatrox's warning to him, and thinking about the girls who are still waiting for him to go back, Zuo Chi's emotions can't help but be extremely heavy.

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, just as Zuo Chi was looking at the snow field in front of him in a daze, a cold royal sister voice sounded behind him.

Turning his head, Lisandro, dressed in a long ice blue dress, was quietly watching him behind him.

"You've found a way to seal the Void?" Lisandro asked again.

Zuo Chi spread his hands: "How do you know everything?" ”

Lisandro snorted, "You've been standing there for two hours, and if you say you didn't bring back any news, do you think I'll believe it?" Moreover, have you forgotten who opened the void and who guarded the weeping abyss for 10,000 years? ”

Zuo Chi's eyes moved slightly, and he tilted his head and asked:

"Do you know the Heart of the Void?"

"Void Heart?"

Lisandro paused slightly: "Do you have any specific information?" ”

Zuo Chi shook his head: "I only know that destroying the Void Heart can seal the Void, as for what the Void Heart looks like and where it is in the Void, it will take time to explore." ”

"Your news is really unreliable." Lisandro couldn't help but complain.

Zuo Chi rolled his eyes: "You just take care of your frost guards." ”

Zuo Chi said that, he turned around and walked to the Frost Guard Fortress in the distance, after running around for so long, it was time to rest.

And behind Zuo Chi, Lisandro looked at Zuo Chi's back, and she suddenly asked:

"Are there any conditions for destroying the Void Heart?"

Zuo Chi paused slightly, he recalled the process of Holok destroying the Void Heart described by Aatrox, and finally he said:

"It should be strong enough, it doesn't seem to have any conditions."

"Like! It seems like! Looks like you're big! ”

Lisandro said dissatisfiedly: "You are really unreliable. ”

Ignoring him any more, Zuo Chi walked towards the Frostguard Fortress.

He knew very well that it was completely pointless to say this now, and he couldn't defeat dozens of Void Monitors, even if he sealed the Void Rift, what could he do?

Leaving dozens of True God-level Monitors in the Material Realm is no different from sending them to death.

The source of all kinds of problems has been found, but the process of going to the source is the most difficult!

Just as Zuo Chi was gradually moving away, Lisandro's eyes standing in the snow shimmered with a strange ice blue light in the snowy night.

Snowflakes fell, and Lisandro's murmurs faded with the cold wind.

"Void Heart."

——

At the same time, the Land of Runeterris was next to the starry sky.

"Buzz!"

Not long after Zuo Chi left, the world barrier made of many runes suddenly rippled again, and this fluctuation was getting bigger and bigger, almost spreading into a stormy wave!

Before, Zuo Chi had tried his best, but in the end, he only caused this barrier to produce Dao ripples, and used this to convey his message to the starry sky.

But now, the barrier that Zuo Chi has tried everything but still can't shake is churning violently.

"Click! Click! Click! ”

After a few breaths, a piercing tearing sound suddenly sounded, and many dense cracks appeared out of thin air on the barrier.

The rift gradually widened, and a huge crack was torn apart!

Immediately after, a figure wrapped in golden streamers, with a flute pinned to his waist, and a strange three-hole mask on his face, slowly walked out of the crack, and then, without any influence from the rules, he swept in a certain direction in the Land of Runeterra.
