Chapter 183 Past Glory

Li Lin was slightly startled by Nasus' words.

Are the changes brought about by my upgrade and professional advancement so big...

Then if I add all the skills, wouldn't it change even more?

"Do you seem to be able to become stronger through fighting?" Nasus said with a hint of curiosity.

As a scholar, studying all kinds of weird things is his hobby.

Li Lin couldn't help but feel nervous, afraid that Nasus would ask him what the principle of growth was.

You can’t say that you can level up by killing minions and monsters, right?

Nasus couldn't see through the system, and it was definitely impossible for Li Lin to tell anyone about this...including Caitlin, who was closest to him.

However, Nasus was similar to Azir. He knew that this was Li Lin's secret and was not prepared to get to the bottom of it.

and……

He seemed to regard Li Lin's changes as a special way of training in Ionia.

"I heard that the barrier between the material realm and the spiritual realm in Ionia is weak. I used to think about waiting for Azir to ascend and travel to the Far Eastern Islands on the other side of the ocean. It's a pity."

Nasus sighed, and the figure of his brother Renekton came to mind again.

"Actually, it's not too late to go now." Li Lin raised his head and looked at Nasus. "The Eagle King has returned, and the matter in Shurima will be settled soon."

"I hope so." Nasus leaned on the handle of his battle ax and looked toward the west in the direction of the sun disk. "At the very least, we have to deal with Xerath and wait until the empire is rebuilt and the desert's vitality returns."

After waiting for a while, Li Lin and Nasus continued to chat, talking about many aspects.

It’s just that Li Lin was talking most of the time. He talked about the customs and various things of Ionia, Piltover, and Zaun.

Nasus occasionally interjected, usually when Li Lin mentioned something that interested him, and he didn't know much about it, so he asked.

On the other side, in front of Rek'Sai's body.

Kai'Sa's devouring process this time was much smoother than in the Songling Valley.

Perhaps the guardian of the void rift raised the upper limit of her skin armor, but there was no physical unbearable condition or other accidents.

In addition, since Nasus deliberately retained Rek'Sai's core brain, Kai'Sa gained much more than last time.

First of all, it has excellent melee combat capabilities. Rek'Sai's sharp claws have allowed Kai'Sa's hands, feet, and body joints to evolve freely retractable spikes.

If the target is injured in a melee situation, Kai'Sa's skin armor can also consume some of the target's vitality, thereby recovering her own injuries.

Secondly, the missiles of "Icathian Rainstorm" and the void shock wave of "Void Search" consume less energy, are more powerful, and can superimpose more energy plasma on the target that can be detonated.

The energy-emitting crystals projected by Kai'Sa through the skin armor on her wrists are also more powerful. It is not a problem to melt hard alloys with one blow.

Her "Ultimate Overload" of overloading void energy and her "Hunter Instinct" of extreme speed have also been enhanced to varying degrees.

In addition, there is a new perception ability she named "Void Sense", which allows her to greatly improve her perception after unfolding the carapace helmet.

Rek'Sai's body has given Kai'Sa so many new abilities, and its core is no exception.

She devoured the essence of the squirming brain core, which was larger than a Sklash. The upper limit of energy stored in her skin armor and the power of various living weapons were greatly enhanced.

If Kai'Sa could only use "Hunter Instinct" eight times in a row before, now she can use it twenty or thirty times without taking a breath, and can even launch plasma and energy missiles to hit the target.

After Kai'Sa excitedly demonstrated the performance of her evolved abilities, Li Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't learn Rek'Sai's burrowing ability...

Because they were attacked by Rek'Sai and Kog'Maw, the camel the four of them came on had long since disappeared.

Maybe they escaped on their own, or maybe they stayed in place and were affected by the battle and died under the yellow sand.

All kinds of supplies and sleeping bags prepared by Li Lin and others were almost stored on the camels.

Now that there were no camels and no trace of supplies, their original plan to camp in Calixay and "wait for the prophet" was ruined.

Fortunately, Li Lin's Chenguang stored enough supplies, so their basic survival was not a problem.

After discussing the next plan, everyone unanimously decided to go back to the nearest City of the Sun to rest.

However, Li Lin's trip has been delayed for too long.

According to the agreed construction period, Nasramei's tower should have been completed long ago, leaving him to provide technology and supervise the construction of the core device of the Hex Flying Gate.

Malzahar can't solve it in a short time, but he can't hide and not show up all the time.

It is necessary to contribute living sacrifices to the void. As long as there are rumors about the prophet and the void cult, just deal with him.

With the Hex Flying Gate, getting to Shurima from Piltover is just a blink of an eye, which is very convenient.

In addition, Li Lin's career advancement is the Heart of Machinery, and he can return to Pi City to develop a little more.

Then there is no need to be afraid even if Malzahar has any weird abilities.

Time waits for no one, and desert nights are difficult without sleeping bags and thermal protection.

Li Lin and the others didn't stay too long. They only collected a few Axe's cores as Kai'Sa's energy supply and left.

…

…

The desert sun is still fierce, but there is a refreshing sense of moisture in the air.

In the past few days, the closer they got to the City of the Sun, the greater the surrounding environment changed.

Most of the yellow sand seen previously has disappeared, and green grass and vegetation that should not have appeared in the desert have emerged from the ground, full of life.

After hearing that the last emperor of Shurima had returned as a god, many nomadic tribes and some people living in harsh living conditions came to seek refuge with Azir to pray for the Eagle King's protection.

Today's City of the Sun is no longer as desolate and lifeless as when Li Lin, Kassadin and Sivir left. There are at least thousands of people gathered around the City of the Sun.

There is no threat from bandits, no ravages from extreme weather, and no worries about supplies and water.

Huangsha soldiers can be seen everywhere, holding long guns and standing tall to protect the safety of the people.

Almost everyone is grateful to Azir, singing his name as the "Eagle Father", "Eagle King", and now the "God Emperor".

Outside the City of the Sun, Sivir stared blankly at the people who settled here, "Here... the changes have been huge. How long have we been away?"

Thinking back to when Azir raised the Sun Disk and rebuilt the City of the Sun, she thought it was a ghost town that would be buried underground by Azir at any time...

Standing between Li Lin and Kassadin, Kasha looked up at the sky, "Is this the City of the Sun..."

Although the living skin on her body was stung by the golden light of the disk like the sun, she still couldn't resist the excitement and excitement in her heart.

Kassadin remained silent, but judging from his slightly red eyes, he was as excited as Kassa.

At the front, Nasus looked up at the huge sun disk hanging high in the sky, and the red light in his eyes pulsed.

If it weren't for the fact that the ascended person would lose some ordinary emotional expression ability, he would have burst into tears at this time.

"The last time I came to the City of the Sun, it was when Xerath stole the power of the gods and I sealed him and Renekton in the Emperor's Tomb." Nasus' voice was hoarse and he murmured in a low voice, "I Have been waiting for centuries..."

Li Lin looked at the grand scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

Shurima's former glory is no longer a thing of the past.

Before they could sigh for too long, with a gentle breeze, the yellow sand mixed in the wind fell to the ground, quickly pieced together and extended upward, and finally turned into two fully armed yellow sand soldiers.

Nasus glanced at the yellow sand soldiers, then squinted his eyes and looked up at the place under the sun disk where the golden disk was erected on the Ascension Altar.

"Azir has sensed my return, and he is calling us to the Ascension God Platform."
