lol: Bind Syndra at the start

A group of spirits who recognized Ryan as the benevolent sun, after accepting the gift of darkness, returned to the pure and flawless spiritual realm...

What will be the result?

Is it like dirty clothes being washed clean by water, or like a drop of thick ink falling into clear water and then dyeing the entire source of water black?

This crazy connection made Yi fall into silence.

It was Ryan's voice that woke him up.

The latter found that Yi seemed to have fallen into some kind of misconception.

And it is very simple to correct him, that is to tell him the truth.

"Remember what I said before, the secrets that Vastaya Xiarui told me?"

"Remember." Yi came back to his senses. That night was the beginning of the collapse of his worldview.

It’s like a person who has lived in a fairy tale world for more than 20 years suddenly walks into reality.

Those Noxians who he had previously regarded as demons seemed to have become insignificant problems compared to the other "threats" discussed by Ryan and others.

"Actually, there is a secret I haven't told you, but now I can tell you..." Ryan raised his head, not to look at Yi who was of the same height as him, but to look at the towering mountain behind him.

It was not far from the mountain formed by the altar, where the alchemical flames were contained.

Therefore, this is also the terminal for pollution cleanup.

Standing at this position, Ryan could vaguely see through the clouds and see the place where he 'met' Vastaya Xiarui.

"...They said that when they first wanted to become stronger, the first thing they thought of was studying dark magic."

Ryan's gaze shifted downward.

Discover unexpected peace.

He chose to hide this secret because he didn't want to spend time helping others reorganize their worldview.

This kind of news is like learning new knowledge to me.

But for the local indigenous people, it was a complete subversion.

It's like someone suddenly tells you that you were actually born by your father.

However, he now felt that he might have been worrying too much. At least Yi didn't mind who gave birth to him.

"...So I think those spirits might be even more grateful to me."

Yi took a deep breath. He felt that his current state was not calm, but numb.

So much so that he gave up thinking and just spoke his mind.

"My only worry is that they'll be more grateful to you."

"why?"

"Can you imagine that a group of spirits who believe in darkness suddenly appeared in the spiritual realm?"

Ryan followed Yi's words and thought about it, and then he found...

"I imagined it, and I realized it wouldn't be bad if it were true." He looked at Yi and said earnestly, "Let's take a longer-term view. If we could have a group of our own spirits in the spiritual realm, what harm could there be?"

Happy New Year, brothers!

Chapter 170 Yi's True Heart

The times bring conveniences to people, but they also bring constraints to people.

These complex influences begin when each person is born and continue until they become the dust of time.

Ryan didn't spend too much time trying to force Yi's way of thinking and cognitive system.

After all, all of your ideas are based on your own standpoint.

No one thinks that they are a bad person deep down.

Even the most cruel murderer, when you analyze his heart, he will tell you that it is caused by childhood trauma, environmental constraints, social rigidity and other reasons, and he is not born evil.

But perhaps no one can see clearly what the truth is.

No matter how much others explain, it is not as good as figuring it out yourself.

So Ryan stopped there.

He believed that these 'heroes' could overcome these difficulties and would not get too bogged down even when faced with hardship.

While Yi was lost in thought, Ryan stood on a high vantage point.

He first looked towards the direction of the mountain, and the majestic sight and the mysterious altar he had seen in his vision gradually overlapped.

Then, with the help of dark magic, he finally saw the place where he met Vastaya Xiarui.

Before leaving Barue, Ryan wanted to say goodbye to the group of spirits again.

But perhaps it was the wrong timing, or perhaps the Vastaya Xiari felt it was unnecessary, so his gaze received no response.

This gaze is imbued with the power of darkness to ensure it does not go unnoticed.

Therefore, there are only the above two possibilities.

"Then let's meet at another time and place."

Ryan remembered Vastaya Xiari's promise that as long as he mastered the method to enter the spiritual realm.

They will always wait for their own 'call' under the sunset of the past.

In a sense, they are already 'dead'.

But the strange rules of the spiritual realm allow them to survive in a certain fragment.

As for the current stage, although I am unable to put my consciousness into that illusory yet real plane.

But according to Yi's words, it seems that he already has a group of "admirers" in that place.

If those spirits can "grow" through dark magic like the tree thief, then perhaps they will become his helpers in the future.

After all, that is the spiritual realm, a place where the concepts of time, space and even higher dimensions are completely different from the real plane.

Ten years have passed in the real dimension, and perhaps the spirits in the spiritual realm have only spent one year, but it is also possible that a hundred years have passed.

This uncertainty does not mean disorder in the spiritual realm.

It simply means that I have not yet fully understood the rules of the spiritual realm.

After all, even Vastaya Xiarui, who had stayed in that realm for 'ten thousand years', had only half a foot in the threshold.

The mystery of the spiritual realm may far exceed the so-called heaven.

Ryan himself has been in this world for less than three years.

So he was not in a hurry.

The gains from this trip to Barue exceeded my imagination.

Even the kindness that was casually released before leaving (to clear the pollution of the alchemical flame) brought extra benefits.

If it was before the prank on Sora, Ryan might have felt that this kind of 'smoothness' was like someone had already rolled out the red carpet for the road he was about to embark on.

But after understanding what the so-called destiny is, he feels that the reason he is successful is simply because he is on the right path.

'Those who are righteous will have many supporters' is the fundamental reason for my luck.

Ryan turned around and waved in the direction of Wuji Sword Village.

Yi seemed to wake up from his thoughts. He realized what Ryan wanted to do. "Don't you want to go back to the village?"

"I've already taken the benefits I should have taken, and done what I should have done. I still have other things to do, not to mention..." Ryan looked at Yi, "We'll meet somewhere else."

"Will it?" Yi asked in a low voice.

"No?" Ryan looked at him. "When you see the wider sky, you will subconsciously want to see more."

The time they spent together deepened his understanding of Yi.

Whether it's Yi or Yasuo...

What they have in common is not just the use of swords, but the exploration of the unknown.

People who are good at thinking are often more curious than others.

For these two swordsmen, regardless of whether their sects exist or not, their hearts will continue to drive them to explore, and when there is nowhere left to explore in their world, they will eventually choose to go to a wider world to witness more possibilities.

"You're right." Yi did not hide his feelings this time.

Long before he stepped out of Wuji Sword Village.

No.

Perhaps the seeds had already been planted in his heart when he stood on the top of the tallest tower in Wuji Sword Village and looked into the distance.

The Noxian invasion merely accelerated the growth of the seeds.

During this time, his parents and companions were obsessed with the damage done to Wuji Sword Village and the collapse of its ancient traditions.

Only when the night is quiet will he look into the darkness beyond.

It is indeed a pity that the village was destroyed;

But the collapse of tradition...

It didn't seem that hard for him to accept.

His view of the monkey also seemed to be derived from the monkey's experience.

When the head monk and other elders were worried about how to control the monkey's mischievous character, he saw the monkey's determination to venture out on his own.

Perhaps to some extent, he is indeed not worthy of being the monkey's master.

Because while he was still hesitating, the monkey had already been "forced" to embark on the expedition.

"We'll see each other again." Yi raised his head and looked at Ryan.

At this moment, a sharp light finally appeared in the eyes of this Wuji swordsman again.

Ryan saw the tree thief running wildly.

When a plant possesses dark magic, it will no longer be the same.

As it approached Ryan, it transformed into a seed the size of a grain of rice.

"Goodbye then..."

Ryan said goodbye to Yi.

Then a pair of dark purple wings appeared behind him.

There is no need to save energy or bring anyone with you on the return journey.

So he chose to go back in the most convenient way.

Ryan's figure streaked across the sky.

Yi, who was watching this scene quietly, suddenly realized something.

Ryan's figure slowly passed through the wasteland from which they came.

The dead wasteland once again ushered in a wave of life.

The plants that had just sprouted some tender buds were shaking their roots vigorously, as if bidding farewell to the figure's departure.

This moment suddenly struck Yi's heart.

He remembered the stories he had heard about dark magic.

He looked at the figure that slowly disappeared into the horizon, and then smiled and answered the question he had asked not long ago:

"Yeah, who knew this wouldn't be a good thing... Who said darkness can't save the world?"

......

......

Chapter 171 The Purple-Haired Vastaya Woman

A dark purple figure landed on the coastline.

This long-distance flight was not as tiring as Ryan had imagined, but it might be that the spiritual gifts were more effective than he had imagined. Although they acted on the soul level, they could achieve delay on the physical level.
