The Glory of Noxus

"Can you tell me in detail what you saw in the long river of time?"

Huo Jixing's eyes darkened slightly, he suppressed the many thoughts in his mind and asked.

He was very curious about what the long river of time mentioned in Casiri's words looked like.

According to Casiri, Kiran possesses extraordinary powers of time.

You can drift between the past, present and future, bending and changing the time around you.

It is just like a magician waving a magic wand, able to trace a fixed time node and, with it as the center, observe the time before and after.

"Time is incomprehensible to ordinary people. Even my mentor, His Majesty Jilan, cannot understand the mystery of time and the law of causality."

Kasiri spoke softly, his voice low and full of awe, with a hint of the depth and mystery of time.

“What I mean by the past picture is to trace the past based on the existing traces.”

"I followed my mentor, His Majesty Jilan, to trace your past and see your life in the Ionian Islands."

Kasiri continued, his mind once again revisiting those halcyon days and the many stories of the distant Ionian Islands.

"You once learned swordsmanship in a famous sword hall and became a mercenary, active between villages and towns."

"But the invasion of the Noxian Empire broke the peace of the Ionian Islands. You and your friends started a wandering life to avoid the war."

"After many hardships, you are the only one who crossed the Sea of ​​Watchers and reached the Noxian Empire."

Based on the scenes he saw in the long river of time, Casiri slowly described the life of Huo Jixing's previous incarnation.

"Then you experienced the Freljord War, awakened the power of the Protoss, and won the favor of General Darius."

The figures of the people involved gradually came to life in his words, as if they had personally experienced the sufferings of the young swordsman.

At the end of his words, Casiri's eyes were confused, recalling the many scenes he had experienced that were carved out by time, and secretly missed his mentor, His Majesty Kiran.

"Remember what we learned."

Kiran's voice was unusually gentle, yet almost heavy, as if it contained endless wisdom and experience.

This sentence has accompanied Casilli's growth, always reminding him of the danger of time.

"Are you sure you're ready?"

Kiran asked again that the road ahead would not be easy, but he believed that Casilli had the ability to face it.

Casilli remained silent and did not answer, but instead returned his mentor's affirmative smile.

Then Casiri raised the bronze staff in his hand, followed Kiran's steps, and entered the river of time.

In the colorful river of time, Kiran led Casiri forward, surrounded by terrifying time turbulence.

Those unstable time turbulences were like living monsters, quietly eroding everything around them and distorting and confusing their perception.

Their every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but they did not retreat.

Because Kiran and Kasiri understood that this was their mission, the salvation of the Ekassia people.

But after walking a short distance, Kasiri lost the figure of his mentor Kiran.

He looked around, but could only see a long river of time made of glass, reflecting countless possible paths.

Casilli did not feel fear or confusion.

But choose to go forward alone.

Every day for the past few years, he has been preparing for this moment.

If you don’t work hard now, when will you?

In the end, relying on the time knowledge taught by his mentor, Kasiri walked out of the removed time land in the capital of Ecathia and returned to the forgotten land of Ecathia.

While listening to Casiri's narration, Huo Jixing compared it with the memories of his previous life and found that they matched exactly.

This is a secret that even Swain and the Reiser garrison cannot uncover.

"So how did you, or rather His Majesty Kieran, track me down?"

Casiri's arrival has confirmed that Kiran is aware of his existence and uniqueness.

How can a supernatural being who only exists in the past and has no present or future not be special!

When Casiri heard Huo Jixing's voice, he came back to his senses and thought of Kieran's instructions when he left the capital of Ekassia.

"Nothing can escape the traces of time, and no one can erase them!"

"My mentor traced back to the past based on the traces you left in Ekassia and was able to discern your existence."

Casilli's eyes sparkled.

He still remembered the scene of that day, the calm removal of the land of time, and suddenly ripples.

It was the noise coming from the source of darkness in the endless void beneath the capital of Ecathia.

After being silent for a thousand years, the source of darkness in the cracks under the capital seemed to awaken.

The terrifying purple energy almost interfered with the flow of time and permeated into the place of removed time.

Kieran and Cassilly were curious.

What causes the dark source to become restless?

They traveled into time and across the forgotten land of Ekathia in search of answers.

Fortunately, they noticed the traces left by Huo Jixing at the edge of the void erosion.

At that moment, Kiran sensed the subtle power of the stars in the air, which was both familiar and strange.

This was the direction he had studied before, to disintegrate the Ascended Legion of the Shurima Empire.

Although the Ekathia Governing Council has not been able to obtain the Ascension Decree, it does not prevent Kiran from conducting his research.

He once looked at the sun's disk from afar and saw the many star tracks engraved on its golden surface.

Whenever an ascension ceremony is performed, starlight energy will rain down from the sky, pouring down like water, bringing endless power to the ascender.

Then Kiran seemed to have thought of something. He had been thinking about how to solve the seemingly inevitable ending.

Searching for any thread of fate that might allow him to save the hundreds of thousands of Ekassia people stuck in time.

Perhaps, the power of the stars will be a new research direction, which may change the Ekassia people who are imprisoned in time.

Kiran looked at the star power that permeated the air, and immediately used it as a time anchor to [travel into the future] to find the answer.

However, something that surprised him extremely happened before his eyes. In the future, the power of the star spirit did not exist.

Puzzled, he chooses to [turn back time] and go back to the past to find out the truth.

Time slowly went back, Jilan's gaze passed through the fog of time and space, captured Huo Jixing's face, and felt the different power of the star spirits.

He began to use his abilities to bend and distort the time nearby to explore the origins of Huo Jixing.

Suddenly, wonderful scenes appeared around him, as if a blood-colored painting was unfolding before him.

Those scenes were the many events that Huo Jixing had experienced in the past.

His growth, awakening of the power of the stars, confrontations with various forces, and defeat of many legendary heroes were all presented before Kiran's eyes.

In particular, before Huo Jixing came to the land of Icathia, he defeated the clone of the Void Prophet Malzahar and the Void Burrower Rek'Sai.

Kiran was very surprised by the strength shown in the two battles.

Three completely different star powers!

Finally, after browsing the traces of the past, Kiran came to his own conclusion.

This is a very special star spirit carrier who only exists in the past, not in the present or future.

It is very likely that this is the target he has been looking for and waiting for.

Therefore, it was destiny that the Time Apprentice Kasiri appeared in Uzeris.

"You do not exist in the future of Runeterra. Only in the past are there traces of your existence."

Casiri recalled the time scenes around his mentor Kiran, and looked at Huo Jixing with increasingly burning eyes.

He had seen his mentor, Zilean, travel through time, from Runeterra’s mysterious birth to its seemingly inevitable end.

Only Huo Jixing has such uniqueness!

Huo Jixing shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but think of the commotion he made when he spied on the land of Icathia.

"Now it seems that my reckless snooping at that time caused quite a stir. Not only the Void Will, but also Jilan noticed it."

He pondered for a moment, staring at Casiri's calm face, and asked the doubts hidden in his heart.

"Why can you leave that removed time place?"

According to ancient books.

Soon after Kieran removed a corner of the capital of Icathia from time to avoid the erosion of the void, it attracted the attention of many extraordinary beings.

They sneaked into the ruins of the capital of Ekassia and studied the power of time in the material world.

I hope I can master the power of time!

Unfortunately, none of the many extraordinary beings at that time could understand time again.

They tried to explore the depths of time, but were always unable to touch the mysterious veil.

The power of time seemed to be open only to Kiran, allowing him to freely manipulate and change the flow of time.

Combining the memories of his past life, Huo Jixing knew that Jilan was "imprisoned" in the removed time place.

Although Zilean was given endless time, he could not leave the removed land of time, nor could he awaken the people of Icathia whom he had saved.

The current situation is.

Now that Kasiri can leave the removed land of time and come to Uzeris.

Then why didn't Kiran leave with him?

Hearing this, Casiri's eyes flickered as he stared at Huo Jixing in front of him.

The place of time that was removed is a secret.

No one knows where the missing corner of the land has gone.

Only Kiran and he knew.

Only they can move in the place of removed time. Everyone else is in stagnant time, like sculptures, unable to move.

"I'm not from Icathia." Casiri whispered about his origins.

"I am a scavenger near the land of Icathia. In order to survive, I accidentally entered the ruins of the capital of Icathia."

"Afterwards, I received guidance, avoided the erosion of the void, and became the apprentice of His Majesty Jilan."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, vaguely understanding why Cassi was able to leave the removed land of time.

"Then tell me why you came to Uzeris, Time Apprentice Kasiri."

Huo Jixing ended the small talk and got straight to the point.

"My mentor asked me to tell you that the mysterious future battle is about to begin!" Casiri said in a deep voice.

The mysterious future battle! ?

Huo Jixing heard the solemn tone in Casiri's words, frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Will the Noxian Empire restart the war in the future?"

He was not surprised at all. After a period of recuperation, the Noxian Empire would inevitably start a war again.

With the Ionian Islands? With the Kingdom of Demacia? With Shurima?

All possible.

"No, not the Noxian Empire."

Casiri shook his head slowly, stretched out his dark finger and pointed at the sky.

"It's Valoran!"

Huo Jixing fell silent. The scope of the Valoran continent is very vast, including the Noxus Empire and other forces.

"Is it with the Void?"

He expressed his guess that the only opponent that could be the opponent of the Valoran continent was the Void entrenched in the land of Icathia.

Casilli's silence seemed to indicate that his guess was correct.

The place where time is removed where Kiran is located is at the core of the void.

dong dong!dong dong!

A crisp knock on the door interrupted the deep conversation between Huo Jixing and Casili.

Then Katarina's voice sounded outside the door, with a hint of solemnity: "Nasus and Sivir are here to see you."

Huo Jixing glanced at Casiri, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and he answered in a serious voice.

"Let them come."

When Nasus walked into the reception room with his legs bent, Cassilly returned to his dull look and stood quietly in the reception room.

He did not show much interest in the arrival of Nasus and Sivir, and his attitude was very cold.

Specifically speaking, Cassiri and Nasus are still enemies.

His mentor, Zilean, is a patriot through and through, and holds deep suspicion and dissatisfaction with the Shurima Empire and the Ascended.

Influenced by this, Kasiri is not very interested in the ancient Shurima Empire and the Ascendants.

But he did not show it too obviously, after all, this negotiation also concerned the forgotten land of Ekathia.

There are hundreds of thousands of Ekassia people in the Land of Removal of Time guarded by Mentor Zilean.

Nasus glanced at Cassiri and was somewhat curious about this extraordinary person from the Xerath delegation.

Afterwards, he and Huo Jixing discussed the details of the negotiations, hoping to finalize the charter as soon as possible.

Azir had given him clear instructions before coming, asking him to complete the negotiations as quickly as possible.

Although Nasus was a little confused, he did not ask any questions, but instead did his best to complete Azir's orders.

After talking with Casiri, Huo Jixing also didn't want to waste time in negotiations.

He was extremely curious about Kiran and Casiri's time abilities and wanted to return to the forgotten land of Ecathia.

"Your Majesty Nasus, have you received any news from the Khalis Desert?" Huo Jixing asked.

Nasus looked puzzled and shook his head slowly.

“I haven’t received it yet.”

The Khalise Desert is just south of Vikaola. As it is far away from the river of the Mother of Life, it is a remote place.

"That place is being eroded by the void!" Huo Jixing went straight to the point and told the information about the void.

When Nasus heard the word "void", his expression suddenly changed, and disbelief flashed in his golden eyes.

The Void can be said to be the source of the destruction of the Shurima Empire.

The once invincible Ascended Legion fell to the land of Icathia and suffered heavy losses.

Even the surviving Ascendants were affected by the void, which directly weakened the strength of the Ascendant Legion.
