Zuo Yin hated the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest, but now he suddenly became interested and said he had discovered something.
Li Lin knew what she was talking about without even thinking.
Because several relatively complete world runes were sealed here by the Rune Mage Ryze.
About a thousand years ago, an ancient society founded on the Blessed Isles, dedicated to protecting the world's most dangerous holy relics, managed to escape the Curse of the Ruin, crossed the vast Sea of Watchers, and fled to the territory of Noxus, where the country of Noxus did not yet exist.
Not long after, Tyrus, an important member from the Blessed Isles of Helia who mainly studies arcane magic, and his companions discovered a magical item that could threaten the entire world - the World Rune.
At that time, Ryze from the Immortal Bastion, which is located in the east of the Noxus Mountains, was just an apprentice, and his mentor was Tyrus.
After many secret discussions, the members of the association decided to do everything in their power to prevent the news of the World Rune from spreading...
But they did not succeed.
The existence of the World Runes was quickly known to the various countries in the Noxian Plains, and they frantically searched for them, hoping to take them for themselves.
Especially the two most powerful countries at that time, because of the tit-for-tat of world runes, the conflicts and border frictions became increasingly severe.
Tyrus took the young Ryze to lobby and persuade the two countries, telling the king the dangers of the World Rune, hoping that they would negotiate, and trying his best to take back the rune fragments from them and keep them properly.
But the struggle between the two nations was beyond Tyrus's ability to mediate.
With a roar that shook the earth and shattered the sky, Tyrus and Ryze, fleeing to the hills of Noxian, witnessed the destructive power of the World Rune with their own eyes...
The earth shattered in an instant, the bedrock deep underground collapsed, and hot magma gushed out from the ground, forming a pillar of fire that was thousands of meters high.
Between illusions, even the space seems to be breaking apart.
East of the Noxian Mountains, all was lost to the power of the World Rune.
Trees, houses, mountains, earth...
A hole appeared on the ground, and the ocean in the sky surged in. A small piece of continent completely sank into the depths of the Watcher's Sea because of a rune fragment.
However, this is only the beginning of the Rune Wars.
In the following decades, the Rune Wars that broke out were not limited to Runeterra, but also affected Shurima and even parts of Ionia, almost bringing human civilization to an end.
Fortunately, those civilizations that possessed the world runes were soon destroyed in the long river of history by the backlash of the rune power, and the war ended quickly.
Ryze personally killed his master Tyrus, whose mind was also eroded by the World Rune. He deeply realized the dangers of the World Rune and vowed never to use the World Rune again.
He used the legacy left by Tyrus, a scroll that could locate the fragments of the World Rune, to search for the World Rune, and sealed it in an unknown underground space in the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest, inside a Forbidden Magic Stone Pillar built by an unknown person.
Li Lin understood that period of history. Not only did he know most of the world lines, but the Piltover library also had clear records of it.
It’s just that there is no Ryze, the great arcane mage who silently collects runes and seals them to protect humanity.
Zuo Yin excitedly tried to open a portal.
Perhaps it was because she went deep into the forbidden magic stone forest, or perhaps she was unable to fully exert the power inherited from the Twilight Star Spirit, which affected her magic to a certain extent.
Although the golden halo was open, the place it led to was not what she expected.
Li Lin hesitated.
Zuo Yin once said that as the world's guardian, he was a very special existence, and his soul would not be affected by the world's runes.
Although at that time he had the urge to come directly to Demacia to find the World Rune.
But after thinking it over again, he gave up the idea and realized his own immaturity.
It is a terrifying thing when a person possesses the power of a god. It will act like a magnifying glass, infinitely magnifying a person's inner desires and hidden malice.
No one is perfect, and there can be no perfect human beings in the world.
Even the kindest person has evil in his heart.
However, when the evil thoughts in one's heart are magnified, there are very few people who can suppress them with kindness.
Even if the world runes would not corrode Li Lin, he believed that he could not possess the individual power comparable to that of a god and still remain true to his original intention.
Besides, the one guarding the World Rune is the old mage Ryze, whom Li Lin admires very much. He doesn't want to be an enemy of this guardian of mankind.
Without thinking too much, Li Lin stepped forward and put his hand on Zuo Yin's shoulder, "Wait, Zuo Yin..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine soon!"
She ignored Li Lin completely, her attention completely focused on her own portal.
In the blink of an eye, she tried to open the aperture leading to the underground more than ten times.
"Damn it, this forest has no way of communicating with the spirit world! I hate it here!"
"We can't..."
"Wait a minute! Right now! I'm going to give you a big gift!"
Li Lin felt quite helpless and had no choice but to walk around to her, clamp her shoulders with his strong hands, and shout in her face: "Zuo Yin!"
Due to his interference, the portal that Zuo Yin had just gathered suddenly turned into golden particles, dissipated into the air, and was quickly absorbed by the surrounding magic-forbidden stone trees.
She stamped her feet angrily, "What are you doing? I'm almost there!"
"You should change your disobedient nature."
