Just like that, Shurima's yellow sand gained a soul that had already passed away, and Li Ke's goal was now half-completed.
Killing Ryze didn't put him in a good mood because he knew from the start that as long as he killed Ryze, Ryze's responsibility would fall on him.
And the reward was the World Rune.
The whispers of the runes had never been so clear. Everything in this world was showing Li Ke its truest side. The flow of the ocean, the movement of the air, and all the magic and life in this world. The power of these runes came from these things, and these things came from the runes.
The runes were the world, and the world was the runes.
As long as Li Ke completely destroyed a World Rune, any World Rune, the world would immediately fall into an imbalance. The first thing to disappear was the thing that the destroyed World Rune represented. Then, everything would begin to change, and it would change to something that didn't represent the Rune Lock.
Because of this, as long as one grasped the corresponding World Rune, even if it was only the strongest and most superficial use, one would be able to use the power of this world.
"Why do you resist us?"
"We can let you truly grasp this world."
"Accept us, and you can get more!"
"We were born to be together! Our fusion is the salvation of this world! Think about it! What can we do! "
The voice of the runes echoed in Li Ke's ears, but Li Ke turned a deaf ear to it. He now doubted whether Aoun could resist the temptation of these World Runes because as long as he grasped the five World Runes in his hands, the entire world would belong to him.
Of course, he would also be killed by him.
But it was clear that he didn't want this to happen in reality, and it wasn't a good development.
"You died so easily."
Li Ke looked at the golden glove on his right hand. He shook it gently, and the golden glove disappeared. The colorful World Runes floated on his hand, tempting him relentlessly. They even showed him a bunch of illusions, showing him many scenes of him slaughtering everyone with the World Runes.
But it was all useless. Li Ke didn't care about these World Runes at all. Ryze studied them for so long, but he still fell to Li Ke in the end. Li Ke's power could completely suppress the power of these World Runes.
However, the others weren't like him. The will of these World Runes would continue to tempt those who didn't have power and cause countless troubles.
"So what trouble did you cause this time?"
Just as Li Ke was thinking about how to deal with these World Runes, a voice full of majesty and helplessness appeared beside him. He turned his head and saw Azir and Nasus in a golden spaceship. Renekton the crocodile was standing behind Azir. His eyes had become clear again, and he was meticulously standing behind Azir.
It seemed like this ascender had finally recovered from his endless rage and returned to Emperor Shurima's side.
"I just killed a guardian of the World Runes, and then I found myself in trouble again."
Li Ke hurriedly used his mind to isolate the influence of the World Runes. He wasn't sure if the ascender could resist the temptation of the World Runes, so this was the best choice.
"That is indeed a big problem. No matter the time or era, the World Runes will always attract the attention of countless greedy people. Every time it causes destruction, it will make people sigh and sigh at the stupidity of humans."
Nasus glanced at the World Runes in Li Ke's hand, then turned his gaze away. It wasn't that he didn't recognize his own will, but that countless bloody lessons had taught him that the World Runes couldn't be used to test one's humanity.
Because that would bring endless losses.
"Just like the ascender's power."
Azir's eyes were fixed on the World Runes in Li Ke's hand. The moment he saw so many World Runes, he saw his empire rising again, his wife and children who were resurrected from the dead, and his subjects who died because of him coming back to life. As long as he could take the World Rune from Li Ke's hand, he would be able to restore his empire.
As long as he took one, his empire would be able to recover. Everything that he had missed and done wrong would be restored, and he would be able to lead his empire to greater glory.
And if he could get multiple World Runes …
"Damn it … Keep those things away from me!"
The more one longed for something, the easier it was for them to be tempted by the World Runes. Although Li Ke had already isolated the power of the World Runes with his Mental World, the longing in people's hearts could still make them think of the things they could do.
Even the ascenders couldn't avoid it.
Azir covered his forehead. He had only come here to see what had happened in the desert, but he didn't expect to see something that would make him lose his composure, especially when he saw Li Ke.
He wanted to restore Shurima's prestige, but the sun disk that he was about to destroy could no longer allow Shurima to have more ascenders. However, with the World Runes, it was not impossible to create new ascenders who were different from the ones who had ascended.
Shurima's glory would be continued by him!
However, he knew that this was impossible. His successor was unwilling to accept this fate and was unwilling to shoulder this responsibility personally. The power that they were so proud of was stolen, and the gods seemed to have been using them, the ascenders, all along.
His pride wouldn't allow these people to continue using them, so when he inadvertently found out the true source of his power, and that his pride was just an illusion, he completely extinguished the last of his ambitions.
However, the temptation of the World Runes still caught him off guard and made him lose control.
This made him feel very ashamed.
It seemed that when using these things to make weapons, he really had to be careful of Orne's corruption.
Li Ke silently put these World Runes into his clothes, and Azir, who was holding his head, regained some of his dignity after the World Runes left his sight. He no longer looked at the World Runes in Li Ke's hands like a gambler, but instead sighed deeply.
But …
Azir looked at Li Ke, who kept the World Runes but didn't change his expression, and an idea came to his mind.
"It seems that Sivir didn't choose the wrong person. You, who won't be tempted by the gods' bait, are indeed qualified to do that."
The proud emperor stood up straight again, and after looking at Li Ke silently for a while, he continued to speak.
"Help us cut off fate, Li Ke. After you kill Atokus, help me destroy the sun disk!"
