Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 295 The Star River Trembles, the Star God Wanders!
What kind of joke is this?

Looking at the person wearing a wooden mask—no, it wasn't a mask at all; it was actually his face, a round face made of wood with only a few small holes for his facial features, emitting a faint purple glow.

He floated there quietly, holding a purple flower trumpet in his hand. Judging from his appearance and color scheme, he was clearly a deity belonging to the Nightshade faction.

But the question Li Ke wanted to ask was, why was he here?

It's worth noting that Li Ke mentioned a long time ago that, in Riot Games' vision, the Spirit Blossom skin line isn't simply part of a skin universe!

The Spirit Blossom skin champions can appear at the same time as the champions of the main universe, namely Runeterra, without affecting each other. This is not like the Odyssey universe series, nor is it a special universe like God and Jade Sword Legends, or Star Guardians.

Therefore, this guy shouldn't have been here at all!
Of course, Li Ke recognized who it was. It was none other than Bard!

Bard!

Officially recognized, and also widely acknowledged by the player community as one of the strongest!

It is the true pinnacle of the universe!
In Riot Games' official universe, Aurelion Sol is the absolute pinnacle, and the only entity comparable to him is the Void, which is also the only existence that Aurelion Sol takes seriously.

As for Nagakabolos, that giant serpent sea monster is just the designer's own fantasy.

Below the Dragon King, Li Ke knew of two other beings: one was the Masked Mother who created Kindred and many other Death Gods, and the other was Bard, the wandering god who roamed among the planets.

Yes, Bard is widely recognized as the strongest being below the Dragon King!
Among the heroes, 1 Aurelion Sol and 2 Bard are basically undisputed.

Therefore, seeing Bard appear in Spirit Blossom, to be honest, Rick's legs were trembling a little.
This is absolutely outrageous!

The joy he felt upon seeing so many gods in the Lotus Land vanished instantly, because even if all these gods were combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat Bard.

Just how ridiculously strong is Bard, the strongest being under the Dragon King?

Let's put it that way.
Ornn is powerful, isn't he?

Ornn is widely recognized as the strongest demigod in Runeterra. Even in the Celestial Universe, he is among the top tier. The respect that Soraka, the Starchild, shows Ornn, and the words she spoke when a group of Protoss descended to Earth, reveal just how powerful Ornn truly is.

Even a dozen of ordinary demigods wouldn't be enough for Ornn to swing his hammer.

And this is the true form of Ornn—he is actually one of the little wood sprites that follow Bard!

Yes, you heard right. The group of little elves following Bard, those little yellow creatures that dance when he plays the trumpet, will grow up to be Ornn!

How many such wood spirits does Bard have?
Just like in the game, Bard roams the canyon constantly, absorbing wood spirits to strengthen himself. In the official lore, Bard also travels to various planets, saving them and taking away the nature spirits of those planets.

Therefore, it is impossible to calculate how long Bard has existed, how many planets he has visited over the years, or how many Wood Spirits he has possessed.
If it weren't for the certainty that Bard was a benevolent deity, Rick would be green with envy right now.

"Li Ke, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Ke standing there dumbfounded, Ah Li sniffed and jumped onto Li Ke's shoulder.

The little fox nuzzled Li Ke's cheek and then said, "What are you daydreaming about?"

"Ah Li... why is he here?" Li Ke asked Ah Li, a conversation that only Li Ke and Ah Li could hear.

Ahri glanced at Bard, then whispered to Li Ke, "You mean him?"

"I don't know either."

"what?"

I said I didn't know either.

Ahri explained, "He belongs to Thresh's side, he's a god of the Nightbringer faction, although both Nightbringer and Dawnbringer are under my jurisdiction. But the problem is, I really don't know how he got in, or what kind of memories he came from."

"That's right, that's right, one day... he just suddenly appeared like this? Just like you." Ahri said seriously.

She didn't lie.

She was one of the first deities born in the Spirit Lotus, but in her memory, she truly had no idea how this wooden creature belonging to the Nightshade faction came to be.

To find out, perhaps we should ask Thresh?
"."

Li Ke took a deep breath.

No, we can't think of him as Bard. The spirits of Spirit Blossom have no connection to real-world heroes, so this one probably just looks like Bard.

It's likely that some Ionian once saw Bard, then spread Bard's story, and as a result, a god was born because of him.

Li Ke could only think of it this way, otherwise he really couldn't explain why Bard would be here.

Lotus Lands is indeed powerful, and Runeterra does possess unique characteristics, but for Bard, destroying Runeterra is merely a matter of a single move.

As the supreme god in the universe, Rick believed that Bard fully possessed this ability!

Despite thinking this way, Li Ke still maintained his respect for Bader.

After cutting off contact with Ahri, Li Ke looked at Bard and tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

“Buzz—” The wooden face shook, Bard shook his head, picked up the flower trumpet and blew on it, making a buzzing sound. Then, he smiled at Rick.

A strange smile.

"."

Li Ke didn't understand a word Bard said.

Moreover, because the Nightshade gods all have unforgettable attachments, their emotions fluctuate greatly, and they often do not contact each other. None of the Nightshade faction gods present paid any attention to Bard, and no one helped Li Ke explain what Bard had said.

"."

"Can you speak? Or send me a telepathic message?" Seeing that Bard was easy to talk to, Rick continued.

The two small holes on Badwood's face narrowed, and the next moment, the sound of a trumpet playing appeared in Li Ke's mind.

Blow, blow, blow! What are you even blowing?
Do you know how flustered I get when I see you?!

Suppressing his worries, Li Ke took a deep breath and looked at Ahri: "Ahri, where's Thresh?"

“Thresh? Thresh doesn’t want to see you.” Ahri tilted her head and laughed as she spoke: “Thresh has been depressed ever since you came in and took me and Tristana out last time.”

"He knows it's impossible to imprison your soul now, because if he dared to do that, everyone would beat him to death!" Ahri said seriously.

Tristana, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Yeah, we won't let Thresh catch you."

Then, a furry paw tugged at Li Ke's trouser leg. Li Ke turned his head and looked down, only to see a face that looked like it deserved a punch.

"Can you really take us out to have fun?"

It's Teemo.
He held something that looked like a wooden flute, squinting at Li Ke as he spoke.

Li Ke: "."

Teemo's face is really asking for a beating.

After exchanging a few words with Teemo, Li Ke spoke with the deity who had approached him for a while. Then, Li Ke said, "I need everyone's help this time. Ahri, take me to see Thresh."

"Are you sure you want to see him?" Ahri asked in a strange tone. "He's not coming to see you because he's afraid that if he sees you, he won't be able to resist trying to steal your soul."

"What if he goes berserk if you go to see him now?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "Aren't you all still here?"

"Right."

Ahri nodded, then wagged her big tail and jumped off Li Ke's shoulder. She walked forward and said, "Found it. Come on, follow me, I'll take you to Thresh."

Ahri seems very excited, and rightly so. Of course Ahri would be excited to be a guide to cause trouble for her old rival!
Ultimately, Ahri is really mischievous; she is naturally lively, playful, and clever.

Li Ke nodded and followed Ahri, but he didn't notice that Bard was tilting his head and looking at his back.

A colorful light flashed in the wooden eyes, and a look that did not belong to this Bard appeared, but it disappeared in the next instant.

In the celestial universe, in the land of stars—

In a galaxy that no one can reach, a bulky, tall, long-lived being with grayish-white hair that is hard to tell whether it is hair or a beard is taking a rest.

His grayish-white hair reached up to his chest and was tied up at the bottom. He wore a patched robe with a bright red scarf in the middle. This being in the Milky Way had a face made of a round piece of wood.

The wood was plain, smooth and clean, but in the next moment, two holes suddenly appeared.

In the next instant, golden light appeared in the two black holes.

As the two holes appeared, the Milky Way behind him began to tremble violently, and countless celestial particles began to move and split.

"Pfft!"

As the starry sky rippled, a group of tiny golden creatures appeared, calling out in countless numbers, so numerous that it was impossible to count them all.

The tiny Protoss were golden in color, with round heads, slender bodies, and no arms, only legs.

A group of tiny golden creatures ruffled the beard of this being, while another group of creatures carried a huge horn on their heads, and on the horn, two creatures were lazily dozing off.

"Buzz!" Below the two golden holes, another hole appeared.

The sound rang out, and the next moment, the galaxy behind him shattered completely.

Two enormous hands began to move, and the shattered galaxy instantly shrank and appeared in those hands, changing from iridescent colors to a golden hue.

"Pfft!"

A golden creature leaped onto his chest and headbutted him.

Then it started making "plop plop" sounds.

"Buzz?"

"."

"Buzz!"

He nodded, then stood up amidst the starry sky.

The little guy in front of him had just told him that he had been napping for three hundred years, and he felt that his afternoon nap was really good.

Really fragrant!

But if no one had disturbed him, he thought he could have continued sleeping.

He reached out and caught the little golden creature in front of him, then nodded to it.

Then, the little golden creature in my palm shook its head, and the next moment, a strange space appeared.

Looking at this space, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the astral creature named Bard.

"Buzz?"

"Pfft!"

The little guy in front of me is saying, "That's exactly how it is."

Upon hearing this, Bard became even more curious. When did he split his divine consciousness?
You must know that his divine sense, even just a single thought, is enough to destroy a planet. Therefore, he always asks these little guys to keep an eye on him when he goes to sleep. But this time, they actually failed to keep an eye on him.
"Puji puji, puji!"

"Buzz?"

Did my divine sense wander off on its own?
Bard was even more surprised when he heard this.

So he stretched out his large hand towards that space and then put his hand inside.

But the next moment, he abruptly withdrew his hand, his eyes narrowing.

Combined with the hole in the mouth area, the expression looks like one of shock.

Yes, Bard was indeed shocked.

What did he sense?
The aura of the Starry Sky Dragon, the aura of the Masked Mother, and the aura of that desolate, lifeless void filled with mournful cries.

How could so many powerful auras appear on one planet at the same time?

This piqued Bard's interest, and he realized why his divine sense had wandered off and ended up in that place.

Because he is who he is.

Bard is an optimist by nature, always eager to join in the fun; otherwise, he wouldn't be called the "Cosmic Street Wanderer."

It's worth noting that the title he gave himself was—Wandering God of the Stars.

This shows just how much Bard loves to wander around.

"buzz"

"Puchi?"

"Om."

Bard sighed. He couldn't force his way into that planet. Although he could break the laws set by the planet that had given birth to a will if he wanted to, he wouldn't be himself if he did.

He would only go to a planet when it was in crisis, to save the planet's inhabitants and take away its will—which is these little golden creatures in front of him.

Another point is that forcibly breaking in would attract the attention of the Starry Sky Dragon and the Masked Mother.

Although the Star Dragon was trapped, Bard knew very well that there was no one in the Celestial Realm who could trap him. He did it willingly, and Bard had no idea what he was thinking.

But Bud didn't care about him, because Bud and that guy just didn't get along.

So when the little guy asked him what to do, Bud came up with a good idea.

Since we can't go there in our physical bodies, why not just look at that world from the perspective of divine thought?

I just woke up, it's okay to rest for a while.

As for how long he needs to rest, that depends on when the next planet that needs his help appears.

Thinking of this, Bard smiled and happily picked up the megaphone and blew it once.

"Boom!!!"

With just one sound, the sound of his horn echoed throughout the entire universe.

In an instant, countless powerful beings in the celestial realm concealed their auras.

Especially in the territory of the Titans, a single blast of a loudspeaker was enough for the Titan King to issue an order forbidding the Protoss from leaving.

This was merely a sound that Bard blew out because he was happy.

With his eyes closed, Bard connected with his divine thoughts.

The land of the Spirit Lotus, Purple Prison Mountain.

Most of the Lotus Gods left after learning they were going to Thresh's location, especially the Gods of the Dawn faction, led by Syndra, who clearly disliked Thresh.

However, quite a few people followed Li Ke to Ziqiu Mountain, intending to have some fun.

After all, this place rarely sees any fun, so not every Lotus God is as indifferent as Syndra, even the Gods of the Day.

At the very back of this group of gods, the guy who had been floating in the air holding a flower trumpet, following the main group in a daze, suddenly shuddered.

The next moment, golden light shone from the two small holes on his wooden mask.

But in the next instant, the golden light was covered by purple light again.

"buzz"

A soft, rustling sound emanated from him as he rotated his head 360 degrees, curiously examining the world around him.

Nobody knows.
The second Starry Sky has appeared.
