Holding the purple void core that was beating like a heart in her hand, Kassadin stepped over the corpses of insects on the ground that were oozing corrosive liquid and eroding the soil, and headed towards her temporary base.

"After I was swallowed by the void, how much time has passed outside..."

She couldn't help but look up at the top of the low earthen wall and continued to mutter softly, "This should be the third year, right? I haven't seen the sun in three years..."

Hunting void monsters as a hunter, or at some point in the future, becoming prey and being hunted by hordes of void monsters...

How long will this kind of days last?

"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much..."

…

…

At the same time, above the ground.

Kassadin led the way in front, holding the gleaming Void Stone, and the Underworld Blade on his right wrist was already unsheathed.

He led Li Lin and Sivir through the torn earth and the twisted stone pillars extending from the ground without stopping.

"Where are we going?" Xiweier couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Go to the valley in the south, where there is a deep rift leading to the underground." Kassadin answered without turning his head.

"But I remember your family..."

Before Xiweier could finish her words, she was pulled by Li Lin next to her.

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Sivir immediately shut her mouth, but her words had already triggered sad memories deep in Kassadin's heart.

His beloved wife...

There is also his and his wife's "Binsqi", that is, their daughter - Keisha.

They have long since perished in the belly of the void...

Xiweier's voice was a little low, and she was also thinking of her parents.

If it was me who was killed by the Sarns, they would have been as persistent and crazy as Kassadin...

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story." She apologized in a slightly hoarse voice.

Kassadin knew what Sivir was asking, so he responded, "It's okay. It's been a long time."

After a long silence, he added, "I didn't erect any tombstones for them. Back then, when I was waiting to die, I was found by friends from the caravan and dragged back to Zerima."

"So, today we can just go underground. There's no need to go back to my old home... There's nothing left there. It's completely swallowed up by the yellow sand."

He said in a nonchalant tone.

But beneath the mask, Kassadin's eyes were already red, but he tried hard to suppress the tears in his eyes and not let them flow down.

As Kassadin's voice gradually fell, they remained silent, save for the soft clacking of the power armor's mechanical gears and energy cores, the sound of the storm robot's engines, and the sound of footsteps on metal touching sand.

The three of them walked in silence for more than 20 minutes until a narrow and deep "cliff" in front of the mountain, with no bottom in sight, blocked their way.

Directly descending from here, one can reach the corrupt evil beneath the land, the enemy of all living things, the twisted existence that wants to devour all of Runeterra—the place where the Void opens its rift.

Li Lin, Kassadin and Sivir stood before the wound where the earth was torn apart.

Sivir gasped, "It's so high up, how are we going to get down?"

"This slope isn't too steep. With our power armor, we can just slide down the cliff..."

As he was speaking, Li Lin's thoughts moved. The storm robot that followed behind him had a very "unique" appearance. It was the new one he made at the Marrow Seal Market and slowly floated down.

"But don't worry, let my storm robot go down and take a look at the situation first."
