Golden Shovel Survival: One Lucky Star and One Colorful Hex

Chapter 280 Comprehending the Power of World Runes!
“This is the primordial power of that world… Could it be that they want to borrow a passage from the void?!” Ryze suddenly raised his eyes, his pupils dilated, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

It should be noted that, in order to prevent the other party from descending, that person directly used the Land of Fortune as the core of the formation, sealing the opening where the two worlds collided.

They turned the blessed land into a forbidden zone and even sent a giant dragon with power no less than a third-level god to suppress it.

This saved Runeterra from invasion by the other side.

But the other party actually took a different route and went to the Void Realm, which made things a bit difficult.

The alliance between the void and that world—it's uncertain whether that person can summon the star spirits of those stars. Otherwise, if the two worlds collide again and a void rift appears, it will be too late.

"I hope the gods haven't misjudged us..."

Ryze's whisper was torn apart by the howling icy wind as he gazed at Mo Lang, who was sitting cross-legged not far away.

The boy was surrounded by golden light of creation and black lightning of destruction. The two laws intertwined in his palm to form a yin-yang pattern. With each rotation, the ice layer at the bottom of the abyss shimmered with a glass-like luster.

But Ryze's brow furrowed even more: the child's speed of comprehending the laws was indeed astonishing, but the Void Overlords and otherworldly forces behind the Bronze Gate would never give him enough time.

He abruptly turned his head to look at the bronze gate. The newly formed pale green runes on the gate were still slowly rotating, turning the seeping purple mist into points of light, but they could not hide the increasingly heavy sense of oppression behind the gate.

The twisted tentacles no longer charged blindly, but instead grew like vines along the cracks in the door, each inch of their spread accompanied by the dimming of the runic light.

"Want to fight a war of attrition? Then I'll play along!" Ryze's lips curled into a cold smile, a resolute glint in his eyes.

In an instant, the runes that seemed to be engraved on his skin burst forth with dazzling light, and three new world runes appeared behind him.

The first rune, like a crystal pyramid, refracts a cold metallic luster; it is the World Rune [Precision]!
Fine gear patterns appeared on the surface of the pyramid, and each rotation produced a barely audible clicking sound. Ryze raised his hand and waved his hand, and the runes transformed into thousands of fine needles that merged into the runic gaps of the bronze door. The originally slowly rotating defensive matrix suddenly accelerated, like a precisely operating war machine, breaking down each erosion of the tentacles into energy particles.

Mo Lang suddenly opened his eyes in a moment of enlightenment—he saw that his power and attack had surged under the influence of the runes, and even the law energy flowing in his body had become more penetrating.

The second rune, resembling a twisted black heart, pulsates with a purplish-black mist—it is the [Dominator]!
The rune floated on Ryze's chest, its surface cracked with countless tiny pupils, each eye reflecting the scene of the void rift.

Ryze let out a deep shout, and the runes no longer unleashed destructive power, but rather a strange "traction"—the void tentacles attached to the door suddenly trembled violently, defying their master's will, and instead drilled into the rune array on the door panel, where they were instantly disintegrated by the [Precision] rune.

“This is another use of the Dominator Rune…” Mo Lang was shocked. This rune could not only open rifts, but also briefly “dominate” the instincts of void creatures.

Perhaps this is why I am able to control the void!

The third rune, like a burning sapphire, with a galaxy of light flowing within, is none other than [Witchcraft]!
As soon as the runes appeared, the temperature of the entire abyss plummeted, and Ryze's figure became transparent in the blue light, as if he had merged with the laws of heaven and earth.

He pointed two fingers at the bronze gate, and the [Witchcraft] runes transformed into a rain of light, each drop containing a vast torrent of knowledge. The decomposed void energy was recombined in the rain of light, turning into fragments of runes that recorded otherworldly languages, which drifted into Mo Lang's divine sea like snowflakes.

“Using sorcery runes to analyze the enemy’s laws…” Countless unfamiliar symbols suddenly appeared in Mo Lang’s pupils, and the laws of creation and destruction resonated anew during the analysis.

At this moment, he felt that he was just one step away from mastering the complete laws of creation and destruction!

hum! ! !
Three runes formed a triangular array behind Ryze, while the pale green [Resolve] rune still pulsed steadily in his palm.

At this moment, he was no longer the tireless guardian of runes, but had transformed into a living totem of the Runeterra—[Precision] constructs order, [Domination] controls erosion, [Witchcraft] understands the origin, and [Resolute] solidifies the foundation. The bronze gate resonated with a bell-like hum, and the patterns on the gate began to push back the cracks, gradually squeezing the void energy and otherworldly light and shadow behind the gate into reality.

"This should be able to last for three to five years. I hope you can reach that level within those three to five years."

Ryze gazed at the gradually blurring figure of the Void Overlord behind the door, a weary yet resolute smile appearing on his pale face.

But he knew that this was only a temporary balance.

When Mo Lang fully grasps the laws of creation and destruction, and finds the fifth world rune, the moment when the five world runes truly resonate will be the final moment that determines the fate of the Rune Continent.

Before that, his old bones must become the cornerstone that withstands all the turmoil, just like the [Resolute] rune.

The ice at the top of the abyss began to peel away again, but the moment it touched the runic light field, it turned into specks of starlight, like a silent tribute from the gods.

Ryze, like an old monk in deep meditation, sat cross-legged on the ground, continuing to comprehend the mysteries of the World Runes.

Mo Lang was the same.

And so, an unknown amount of time passed.

……

……

"Tahm, it's been three days already, and we still can't get in touch with our master?" Darius asked anxiously.

"Isn't that obvious? If you can't get in touch with any of you, how can I?" Tam was also getting a little irritated, his eyes fixed on the abyss below him.

However, the power emanating from the world runes was far beyond their current capabilities; a slight misstep could result in them being devoured by the world runes.

"Should we contact the two mistresses?" Darius said with some concern.

"What power could the mistress possibly have? But since Ryze has shown up, the master must be alright."

Tahm Kench looked at the group and said, "I'll stay here and guard this place. You guys go and clear out the monsters in Freljord. As long as we have enough gold, we can keep leveling up."

"alright."

Upon hearing Tahm Kench's words, everyone nodded and began a massive sweep through Freljord.

Mo Lang remained immersed in comprehending the mysteries of the world's runes. Gradually, he seemed to forget time and everything else. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in that pitch-black world.

However, unlike last time, this time the various laws surrounding the area have become more concrete, and their number has also increased.

Four world runes also appeared, hanging high in the four directions, but the center was missing a spot.
