That's right, it was exactly like that.
Ryz clearly remembered his master's expression when he wanted to monopolize the power of the World Runes and use the power of the World Runes to stop the war, as well as the cold and disappointed expression in his master's crazed eyes.
And now, Li Ke's eyes were shining with the same light as his own back then.
That was good.
Only when a typical example appeared in front of people would they remember the lesson and understand that they shouldn't do that. Although the duration of this lesson would vary depending on the person, it was enough for him.
Li Ke's power couldn't be contained without the World Runes, and if he used the World Runes, he would become the person he hated the most. And what Li Ke did to this world wasn't to destroy it. Although it was a bit ideal, it was still moving in a good direction. It was just that his life had been too smooth. Apart from Yatokus and the arena, he hadn't encountered too many hardships. His willpower hadn't been tested and tempered enough.
He would never regret setting up an early warning spell on someone who was even more powerful than the World Runes, because he had been chasing the World Runes for so many years with the ultimate goal of protecting this world.
His only mistake was that he wasn't strong enough and couldn't successfully take on Li Ke's inevitable revenge.
It was like this when he was young. Because of his lack of ability, he couldn't convince those people to give up on using the World Runes and let them destroy his homeland. And because of his lack of ability, he couldn't convince more people to give up on the World Runes and let his master use the power of the World Runes to stop the war.
And then?
He couldn't stop his disciple and let him be confused by the power of the World Runes, turning him into an empty shell and a monster. His soul was thoroughly burned by raging flames and they became enemies.
Because of his lack of ability, he had no choice but to kill his good friend and take away the World Runes in his hands that were used to protect his tribe. He made his originally weak and starving tribe face the threat of a large group of Man-eating Trolls to migrate and disappear without a trace.
Because of his lack of ability, he had to become harsh, cold, and cruel. He ignored all the beauty and sorrow around him and kept chasing after the World Runes.
Who is the most pathetic and boring person in this world?
Of course, it was those who watched others play games and couldn't intervene. What Ruiz couldn't intervene in wasn't just games. He couldn't intervene in family, love, friendship, and enjoyment. He could only watch and didn't even dare to think about it.
Sometimes, he would ask himself if it was because he didn't want the World Rune to be in the hands of mortals, which angered the gods, so the gods made him live such a miserable life. Even his nightmares were about the World Rune being in the hands of mortals, which then led to a disaster. Or maybe he couldn't resist the temptation and used the World Rune, which brought destruction to the world.
"You don't deserve your own power!"
He roared, and under the influence of the World Rune, his voice was mixed with a trace of envy and jealousy.
If he had Li Ke's power, he would never have to worry about the World Rune being used in the wrong place. He would be able to stop those people from using the World Rune to destroy his homeland, he would be able to make those city-states of the past hand over the World Rune. There wouldn't be an awkward situation where everyone wanted to hand over the World Rune, but for safety reasons, no one was willing to be the first to hand it over.
If that was the case, his most respected teacher wouldn't have gone mad and wanted to use the power of the World Rune to prevent the World Rune from being misused.
Then … he wouldn't have to shoulder this burden.
To put it simply, the World Rune was something that could allow anyone who picked it up to fire a nuclear bomb. There were no requirements, as long as you had it, you could fire a nuclear bomb at any time.
As for Ryze, he was constantly searching for these people who could fire at any time and randomly appear all over the world, and he had kept these people alive for thousands of years. Those who were well-informed would be able to inquire about this person's existence and hear about the power of the World Rune he was searching for.
Li Ke didn't have the intention to answer Ruiz at all. He just swung his lightsaber at Ruiz. The lightsaber in his hand instantly extended to thousands of meters in length and slashed towards Ruiz. But Ruiz also raised his hand, and a thousand-meter-tall mountain blocked between him and Li Ke.
Li Ke's lightsaber cut a bright red line on the mountain peak. The slash left a diagonal line on the mountain peak, causing the mountain peak to slowly slide down. But this time, Ruiz didn't appear. Instead, he condensed a water column that was as thick as Li Ke's arm and attacked Li Ke.
These water columns easily pierced through the stones scattered in the air, which showed that these water columns weren't simple water columns, but high-pressure water blades.
Tens of thousands of these attacks that could easily cut through steel flew towards Li Ke every second, but they were all easily blocked and deflected by the magical energy surrounding Li Ke. They couldn't hurt Li Ke at all.
But these water blades that contained the power of the World Rune successfully blocked Li Ke's line of sight, allowing Ruiz to prepare his next spell.
"Witness the power of this world! After killing you, I will use this power to rule the world and make everything that can harm this world disappear. I will make those who dare to have ideas about the World Rune go to hell! "
Ruiz had thought of using the power of the World Rune to suppress others from using it, but he didn't do so every time. Because every time he dealt with those who had the World Rune, he would remember his home that was destroyed by the World Rune. So he never thought of implementing this plan, not even once.
However, before Ruiz could cast his spell, an uninvited guest descended from the distant desert. He hadn't arrived yet, but his voice was heard.
"Hahaha! Ruiz! You really want to monopolize the power of the World Rune! I didn't guess wrong! You selfish guy! I will kill you! Then I will take all the World Runes! Don't even think about stopping me! "
Ruiz's eyes looked at the flickering flame, the product of one of his rare mistakes in his life. He once thought highly of his disciple and successor, Keegan, should be called Brand now. He closed his eyes, pointed his hand in Brand's direction, and clenched his fist.
In an instant, the seawater that was waiting for his order rushed towards Bulat. Bulat also let out a roar and summoned countless flames and magma to burn the seawater.
But unfortunately, even though he had been one with the World Rune for so long …
He was still no match for Ruiz.
