lol: Bind Syndra at the start

But here, it is nothing more than the simplest words of those who experienced it at the time.

For Ryan, these words were not good news.

Because if Vastaya Xiarui had succeeded, they would not have turned to studying natural magic.

This means that you have lost the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of giants.

You need to rely on yourself to explore the future path.

The spirit's next words confirmed Ryan's thoughts, "But without exception, we all failed. The invisible darkness excluded us. Even though we tried to reach out in various ways, in the end, we found nothing."

It looked at Ryan, "We spent countless hours and energy on this, but in the end it fell into the hands of a young man who knew nothing about it... Perhaps this is why we can't master it."

"Because you know too much?"

Ryan didn't think Ling's words were mocking his stupidity.

After all, according to the original trajectory of the world, this should fall on Syndra.

As for whether Syndra is smart or not...Lion has personal experience.

If she were a bit smarter, she wouldn't have practiced so many times in her dreams, yet her footwork was still immature...

cough......

Ryan coughed to hide his inner voice.

The spirit didn't notice anything, it was still immersed in its own 'discovery'.

“This has nothing to do with the knowledge we have. We were troubled by this in the past, but in the end we gradually found the answer from the context of history.

"Do you know why, despite being born for so many years, we never thought of mastering the power of the spiritual realm before the invasion of foreign enemies?"

There was so little information in those days that Ryan skipped the analysis stage and simply answered, “I don’t know.”

"Because before the invaders appeared, we had never seen the entrance to magic. We were the smartest group in our time, but there must have been people smarter than us in the distant past.

"They made no progress in their time, and we couldn't even come up with a specific plan before the entrance suddenly appeared...

"But just as signs of the arrival of that group of foreign invaders began to appear, the magical entrance we had been searching for for so long without any progress suddenly appeared before us as if out of thin air...

"We initially thought it was just luck, or that our exploration had reached a certain level and we saw it naturally...

"But when we approached dark magic with the method of mastering natural magic, we found that method had no effect at all."

Ling's expression became a little complicated. "After winning that battle, we spent a lot of time exploring the reasons, but in the end we felt that it might not be us who figured out a way to integrate natural magic, but rather a certain will or some force similar to fate that brought it to us.

"Even if we hadn't pursued magic before, it would have drawn our attention to it in another way at that time. This is indeed a kind of luck, but this kind of luck seems to be a destined ending..."

Ryan was stunned by Ling's narration.

Ling smiled at Ryan's expression and said, "We had the same expression as you when we came to this conclusion, so we sorted out more ancient information to prove that this conclusion was wrong.

"But we eventually discovered that every time a catastrophe was about to begin... a similar gift would appear."

Ryan thought this statement was a bit mysterious. "You should call this survivor bias, because a civilization that has not survived a catastrophe cannot survive at all."

The spirit had no intention of arguing with Ryan. After all, no one could verify such a thing. It simply looked at Ryan and said, "We really hope you can prove that this conclusion is wrong."

Ryan fell silent after hearing this.

I always feel that after this conversation, I have an inexplicable extra responsibility on my shoulders.

Because the spirit's words revealed a meaning, that they were unable to master dark magic because fate was only willing to give them natural magic at that time.

And now, a certain will in the dark has foreseen the new catastrophe, and therefore handed the darkness over to itself...or Syndra.

Although Syndra has no tendency to become a savior in the original work, what does the designer know about the Rune Universe?

Although he didn't want to admit it, if Ryan had to choose between believing the designer or believing the spirit in front of him... his reason made him more willing to believe the latter.

So... there will be a disaster in this world in the future?

Chapter 156 Ancient Battlefield

Ryan is different from Vastaya Xiarui.

He could tell that these 'spirits' were more concerned about their efforts being defined as charity.

This theory of 'fate's charity' seems to make them feel denied.

Ryan had felt this way before, when he had just left school.

It's like a naive little lamb stepping into a slaughterhouse full of murderous intent.

At that time, he will be secretly happy about the cultivation, encouraged by the affirmation, and proud that his value is recognized by others.

But in the end he was polished into what he is today...

Ryan didn't care whether the dark magic was obtained through his own efforts. On the contrary, this kind of "unearned gain" made him feel lucky.

This sudden thought made him feel a little "ashamed", especially in front of Vastaya Xari, who once defended Ionia.

But after a brief moment of shame, Ryan suddenly realized that his thoughts were somewhat wrong.

I didn't gain these powers without paying any price.

The strength I have today is entirely due to my own hard work.

Although the direction and method of his struggle are different from others, no one can deny his efforts and the many drops of sweat he shed in the process!

The same question will have completely different answers when thought about from different angles.

Ryan felt his shame turn to fortitude.

The spirit was secretly observing Ryan's reaction. It was very pleased to find that although this outstanding junior was ignorant, he had a strong will.

It couldn't see any discouragement on Ryan's face!

This kind of mentality is necessary to reach the top. Countless talented geniuses in history eventually fell, not because their talents were exhausted, but because they were exposed to too many secrets, which caused their hearts to slowly collapse.

"So how long will the disaster take?"

Ryan, who swore that there was survivor bias, finally chose to ask.

He looked straight at Ling, without any emotion at all because of the contradiction in his previous and subsequent words.

No matter whether it works or not, it never hurts to believe in it.

He understood this principle the first time he was taken to the temple at the age of three.

At his mother's request, Ryan worshipped each of the idols.

"Generally speaking, it's five to fifteen years..." Ling answered in detail, "This is the approximate range we calculated, but we can't guarantee it's correct."

"I don't expect to believe it completely either."

Ryan's answer made Ling feel more satisfied.

Compared to the Wuji Swordsman nearby, Ryan in front of them better fits their concept of a strong person.

Only by not sticking to formalities and not blindly believing in authority can we glimpse the truth.

"I have one last request. Can you tell me what exactly happened in that ancient war? What kind of beings are they?"

Ryan, who has a background as a time traveler, knows what those "giants" in Yi's eyes are.

They are a group of 'star spirits' from heaven.

This is clearly stated on Ionia's details page.

These creatures, born in the heavens, frequently appear in Rune Continent.

Even in many key parts of human history, we can see their presence or influence.

When Ryan first sat at the beach, he would imagine his future.

He listed the following people as possible enemies in the future:

Star Spirit;

emptiness;

Darkspawn;

demon.

What they have in common is that they all have a criminal record!

The difference between them is their composition, some are locals, and some are from other dimensions.

But none of this matters. What matters is that their strength can threaten oneself.

This visionary journey is a rare opportunity.

No one knows the Protoss better than Vastaya Xari, who has defeated the Protoss!

He remembered that in the background story, the spirit took Yi through time and returned to the original battlefield.

He also wants to try this experience!

"Do you think they will invade again?" Ling guessed Ryan's thoughts.

"It never hurts to be more prepared."

"Let's go then."

The spirit lost no time.

The location where they are located is the weakest point in material and spiritual understanding, but even so, it is not always possible to connect the two dimensions seamlessly.

After a long period of research, the Vastaya Xiarui discovered a pattern.

Only under the sunset glow of a certain battlefield, similar to the final one, will the gap between the two dimensions appear.

Therefore, their time is valuable.

Ling removed Yi's 'shell' and transformed into a hawk, "Follow me..."

The hawk spread its wings and shattered the thick fog around it. It turned around and looked at Ryan, wondering if this junior would need help like Yi.

But the gloomy aura turned into delicate wings at this moment.

Ryan's speed is even faster than Ling's.

The spirit took a few seconds to observe the magical effect of the dark power, and then it led Ryan into another dense area.

The white turbidity enveloped Ryan.

He could sense that the mist seemed to be a manifestation of power.

They change the rules of their surroundings to achieve a teleportation-like effect.

The loud cry of the hawk once again broke the fog.

Ryan looked down.

The endless ocean turned into a long mountain range in Sumeru.

The huge ancient trees and the dark green ground exude a strong natural atmosphere.

But Ryan keenly sensed a hint of evil in this peaceful scene.

The figure of the goshawk appeared in front of him again.

As the hawk's wings flap.

It seemed as if some power was awakened in the air.

The peaceful scene took off its disguise, revealing the dense and continuous weapons hidden under the treetops.

These weapons have different shapes, some of which are consistent with Ryan's understanding of weapons, while some of them cannot even be seen for their specific functions.

Some are complete, some are broken, and they lie or stick on the ground in different postures, as if they are intricate decorations for the long mountain ridges.

And on top of the central mountain range, ten huge "swords" as big as mountain peaks attracted Ryan's attention.

They were almost all in a broken state, but the hilts alone were much taller than himself.

They stand on the top of the mountain like ten lost towers.

The weapons are this big, so you can imagine what size the people who use them are.

To put it simply, it is possible that ten Ultramen without rubber suits came to Ionia ten thousand years ago, and were then defeated by the successive Vastaya and Xiarui.

Ryan and Ling fell to the ground.

The spirit changed from the form of a goshawk to a human silhouette emitting a soft glow.
