Chapter 442: Traveling back through the future and traveling back in time
“Can you tell me specifically about the scenes you saw in the river of time?”
Huo Jixing’s eyes darkened slightly, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart. Many thoughts, he asked.
He was very curious about what the long river of time mentioned in Kasili’s words looked like.
According to Kasiri's account, Kiran has extraordinary power of time.
You can drift between the past, present and future, bending and changing the time around you.
It is also like a magician waving a magic wand, which can trace a fixed time node and use it as the center to view the time before and after.
"Time is something that ordinary people cannot understand. Even my mentor, His Majesty Kiran, cannot understand the mysteries of time and the law of cause and effect."
Kasiri said softly, his voice low and full of awe, It has the depth and mystery of time.
“The picture of the past I am talking about is tracing the past based on existing traces.”
"I followed my mentor, His Majesty Kiran, to trace your past and see your life in the Ionian Islands."
Kasiri continued, thinking of those quiet days and the distant past again. Many stories in the Ionian Islands.
“You once learned swordsmanship in a famous sword hall and became a mercenary, active in villages and towns.”
“But the invasion of the Noxus Empire The war broke the peace of the Ionia Islands. In order to avoid the war, you and your friends started a wandering career."
"In the end, after many hardships, you were the only one left to cross the Sea of Watchers and arrive. Noxus Empire ”
Kasiri slowly described the life of Huo Jixing's predecessor based on the scenes he saw in the long river of time.
"Subsequently, you experienced the Freljord War, awakened the power of the stars, and won the favor of General Darius."
The figure of the person involved was in his words. Gradually it came to life, as if he had personally experienced the suffering of the young swordsman.
At the end of the words, Kasili's eyes were confused, recalling the many scenes he had experienced that were carved by time, and secretly thinking of his mentor, His Majesty Kiran.
“Remember what we learned.”
Kieran's voice was extremely gentle, yet almost heavy, as if it contained endless wisdom and experience.
This sentence has been accompanying Kasiri’s growth, always warning him of the dangers of time.
“Are you sure you are ready?”
Kieran asked again, the road ahead will not be easy, but he believes that Cassili has the ability to face it.
Kasili remained silent and did not answer, but returned the mentor's affirmative smile.
Then Kasili raised the copper staff in his hand, followed Kieran's pace, and entered the river of time.
In the colorful river of time, Kieran led Cassili forward, surrounded by the terrifying turbulence of time.
Those unstable time flows are like living monsters, quietly eroding everything around them, distorting and confusing their perceptions.
Every step they took was full of unknowns and dangers, but they did not back down.
Because Kieran and Cassili understand that this is their mission, the salvation of the Icathians.
But after traveling not far, Kasiri lost sight of his mentor Kiran.
He looked around, but could only see a long river of colored glaze, reflecting many possible paths.
Kasiri felt no fear or confusion.
But choose to go alone.
Every day for the past few years, he has been preparing for this moment.
If you don’t work hard now, when will you wait?
In the end, Kasiri relied on a lot of time knowledge taught by his mentor to get out of the removed time place in the capital of Icathia and returned to the forgotten land of Icathia.
While listening to Kasiri's dictation, Huo Jixing compared the memories of his predecessor and found that they were exactly the same.
This is a secret that Swain and the Reiser garrison cannot explore.
"Then how did you, or His Majesty Kilan, track my traces?"
Kasiri's arrival has confirmed that Kiran is aware of his existence and specialness.
How can an extraordinary person who only exists in the past and does not exist in the present and future not be special!
Kasiri came back to his senses when he heard Huo Jixing's voice, thinking of Kieran's instructions when he left the capital of Icasia.
“The traces of time are inescapable for all things and no one can erase them!”
“My mentor traces the past based on the traces you left in the land of Icathia. , only then did I realize your existence.”
Cassili's eyes sparkled.
He still remembered the scene that day, the peaceful place where time was removed, and ripples suddenly started.
It is the movement coming from the source of darkness in the endless void beneath the capital of Icathia.
After being silent for thousands of years, the source of darkness in the cracks beneath the capital seems to have awakened.
The terrifying purple energy almost interferes with the flow of time and penetrates into the removed time place.
Kiran and Kasili were curious.
What causes the source of darkness to become agitated?
They entered the long river of time and traveled through the forgotten land of Icathia, looking for answers.
Fortunately, they noticed the traces left by Huo Jixing on the edge of void erosion.
Kilan noticed the subtle power of the stars in the air at that time, which was familiar yet unfamiliar.
This was a direction he had studied to dismantle the Ascended Legion of the Shurima Empire.
Although the Icathia Governing Council has been unable to obtain the ascension edict, it does not prevent Kiran from conducting his research.
He once looked up at the sun's disk from a distance and saw many star trails engraved on the golden surface.
Whenever the ascension ceremony is performed, starlight energy will rain down from the sky, pouring down like water, bringing endless power to the ascendant.
Then Kieran seemed to think of something. He had been thinking about how to solve the seemingly inevitable ending.
Searching for any sliver of destiny that might allow him to save the hundreds of thousands of Icathians stuck in time.
Perhaps, the power of the stars will be a new research direction, which may change those Icathians imprisoned in time.
Kilan looked at the power of the stars filling the air, and immediately used it as a time anchor to [travel into the future] to find the answer.
However, something that surprised him happened before his eyes. In the future, the power of the stars did not exist.
Puzzled, he chose [turn back in time] to go back to the past and find out.
Time slowly went back, and Kieran's eyes crossed the fog of time and space, capturing Huo Jixing's face and feeling the power of different star spirits.
He began to use his abilities to bend and distort nearby time to explore the origin of Huo Jixing.
Suddenly, brilliant scenes appeared around him, as if a blood-colored scroll unfolded in front of him.
Those pictures are the many events Huo Jixing has experienced in the past.
His growth, awakening the power of the stars, fighting with various forces, and defeating many legendary heroes were all presented to Kieran one by one.
In particular, before Huo Jixing came to the land of Icacia, he defeated the clone of the Void Prophet Malzahar and the Void Escape Beast Rek'Sai.
The strength shown in the two battles surprised Kieran.
Three completely different powers of the stars!
Finally, Kieran comes to his own conclusion after browsing the traces of the past.
This is a very special star spirit carrier that only exists in the past, without present or future.
It was probably the goal he had been looking for and waiting for.
Therefore, the appearance of Time Apprentice Cassili in Uzeris is an established destiny.
"You will not exist in the future of Runeterra. Only in the past, there will be traces of your existence." Kasili recalled the time scenes around his mentor Kieran, his eyes became more and more intense. Looking at Huo Jixing.
He had seen his mentor Kieran travel through time, from Runeterra's mysterious birth to its seemingly inevitable end.
Only Huo Jixing has such special characteristics!
Huo Jixing shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but think of the noise he made while spying on the land of Icacia.
“Now it seems that my reckless snooping caused quite a stir. Not only the Will of the Void, but also Kieran noticed.”
He pondered for a while, watching Kasiri’s calmness His face reveals the doubts hidden in his heart.
“Why can you leave the place of removed time?”
According to ancient book records.
Soon after Kiran removed a corner of Icathia's capital from time and avoided the erosion of the void, it attracted the attention of many extraordinary beings.
They all sneaked into the ruins of the Icathia capital and studied the power of time in the material realm.
I hope I can master the power of time!
Unfortunately, none of the many extraordinary beings at that time could understand time again.
They try to explore the depths of time, but they always fail to reach the mysterious veil.
The power of time seems to have opened the door to Kieran alone, allowing him to freely manipulate and change the flow of time.
Huo Jixing combined the memories of his previous life and knew that Jilan was 'imprisoned' in a place of removed time.
Although Kiran was given endless time, he could not leave the place of time that was removed, nor could he awaken the people of Icathia who had been saved.
The current situation is.
Now that Kasili can leave the removed place of time and come to Uzeris.
Then why didn’t Kieran leave with him?
Hearing this, Kasili’s eyes flickered and he stared at Huo Jixing in front of him.
The removed place of time is the secret.
No one knows where the disappeared corner of the land has gone.
Only Kieran and him knew.
Only they can move in the removed time place. Everyone else is in stagnant time, like sculptures, unable to move.
“I am not from Icathia.” Kasiri whispered his origin.
“I am a scavenger near the land of Icathia. In order to survive, I accidentally entered the ruins of the capital of Icathia.”
“I later received guidance to avoid the void. Eroded and became the apprentice of Kiran’s crown.”
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, vaguely understanding the reason why Cassili could leave the removed time place.
"Then tell me your purpose of coming to Uzeris, Time Apprentice Kasili."
Huo Jixing ended the chat and went straight to the topic.
"My mentor asked me to tell you that the mysterious future battle is about to begin!" Kasiri said in a deep voice.
The mysterious future battle! ?
Huo Jixing heard the solemn tone in Kasili's words, frowned, and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Will the Noxus Empire restart war in the future?"
He is not surprised by this. After the rest and recuperation, the Noxus Empire will definitely start a war again.
And the Ionian Islands? And the Kingdom of Demacia? And Shurima?
Everything is possible.
"No, not the Noxus Empire."
Kasiri shook his head slowly, stretched out his dark finger, and pointed at the sky.
“It’s the Valoran continent!”
Huo Jixing fell silent. The Valoran continent covers a wide area, including the Noxus Empire and other forces.
"Is it the void?"
He expressed his suspicion that the only opponent in the Valoran continent was the void entrenched in the land of Icathia.
And Cassili's silence seemed to indicate that his guess was correct.
The place where Kieran is located where time has been removed is at the core of the void.
Boom! Boom!
A clear knock on the door broke the in-depth conversation between Huo Jixing and Cassili.
Then Catalina's voice sounded outside the door, with a trace of solemnity: "Nasus and Sivir come to see you."
Huo Jixing looked at Kasili, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and he concentrated. The voice replied.
“Let them come.”
When Nasus entered the living room with his legs bent, Cassili returned to his dull look and stood quietly in the living room.
He did not show much concern for the arrival of Nasus and Sivir, and his attitude was very cold.
To be specific, Kasili and Nasus are still enemies.
His mentor Kieran is a patriot through and through, and has deep misgivings and dissatisfaction with the Shurima Empire and the Ascended Ones.
Affected by this, Kasiri was not very interested in the ancient Shurima Empire and the Ascended Ones.
But he didn't make it too obvious. After all, this negotiation was also related to the forgotten land of Icathia.
There are hundreds of thousands of Icathians in the time-removed place guarded by Mentor Kiran.
Nasus glanced at Kasiri, a little curious about this extraordinary person from the Xerath delegation.
Subsequently, he and Huo Jixing discussed the details of the negotiations, hoping to finalize the charter as soon as possible.
Azir gave him clear instructions before coming, asking him to complete the negotiations as quickly as possible.
Although Nasus was a little confused, he did not ask, but went all out to complete Azir's order.
After Huo Jixing talked with Casili, he also didn’t want to waste time in negotiations.
He was extremely curious about Kiran and Kasiri's time abilities, and wanted to return to the forgotten land of Icathia again.
"Your Majesty Nasus, have you received any news from the Halise Desert?" Huo Jixing asked.
Nasus looked confused and shook his head slowly.
“I haven’t received it yet.”
The Halise Desert is just south of Wekaula. It is a remote place because it is far away from the river of the Mother of Life.
"That side is being eroded by the void!" Huo Jixing went straight in and told the information about the void.
When Nasus heard the word void, his expression suddenly changed, and his golden eyes showed incredible emotions.
The void can be said to be the source of the destruction of the Shurima Empire.
The once invincible Ascended Legion fell to the land of Icathia and suffered heavy losses.
Even the surviving Ascended Ones were affected by the Void, which directly weakened the Ascended One Legion's strength.
