The ill-fated and troubled Runeterra is destined to be destroyed.

At least this is the result from Kieran's observation of tens of millions of time branches.

But what exactly is the end? Each parallel timeline has a different ending:

The Titan Celestial Spirit sent a mortal to give a cursed crown to the master who forged the stars, but he saw through it at a glance and became furious on the spot.

The God of Forging Stars killed the protoss and dragged the lifeless shell of Runeterra that was burned to ashes as an eternal warning to other behemoths in the starry sky;

In order to compete with the demigods of nature, the three ice sisters of Freljord traded with the void to gain power. Although they finally realized the horror of the void and suddenly woke up, it was too late.

The Void Monitor burst into reality from the dimension of nothingness, bringing terminal extinction to the entire Runeterra, swallowing up all matter;

Icathia released the void, and the void monitors came to the battlefield in person. Thousands of Ascended Ones had their minds collapse just by being stared at by One Eye. They were unable to resist the corrosion of the void. They became the nourishment for the expansion of the void, and the world was destroyed;

Foyego triggered the curse of ruin, and in pursuit of twisted love, he reawakened after a thousand years. However, the sentinels of light were unable to resist, and great ruin enveloped the world, and all living creatures were subject to it;

The iron-blooded warlord from thousands of years ago, now the iron-armored ghost Mordekaiser, led the army of the dead to return from the king of the realm of the dead, bringing the entire world under the control of death and devouring all life;

The Queen of the Void, Belvis, united with humans to defeat the Void Monitor, the master of the void, and gained supreme power. However, the combined power of humans was unable to compete with the Queen of the Void, who had integrated the complete power of the void. The entire world was swallowed by it and merged into the consciousness.

a lilac sea of ​​one;

More extraterrestrial titan races have come again after thousands of years, destroying everything with power comparable to the stars. Humanity is not yet united. Vastaya Xari, who has been silent for thousands of years, is unable to compete, and the world falls apart;

Affected by the Curse of Destruction, the King's Sword was ruined, the ten ancient demons returned, ordinary demons wreaked havoc on the earth, and by the time the protoss discovered it, it was already too late, humans became domestic animals, and the whole world became a paradise for demons;

The dark descendants woke up one after another and broke through the seal, and the second dark descendant war began. Zolani swallowed several dark descendants one after another, and merged with part of the incarnation of the previous righteous star spirit Mihira, evolved into the scourge of the star spirit, and defeated Ya

Tox, brought the entire world under the control of blood magic;

The world is still going on normally, and the time has come for the final void to be discovered. The monitor breaks through. Lissandra, one of the three ice sisters, casts the ultimate ice seal at the cost of the lives of her sisters and the Yeti clan. Voids from all over the place are attacking one after another. Finally,

Breaking through each one, eating away at reality...

Under Kieran's demonstration, Josh saw countless endings of Runeterra's destruction, and even Runesia couldn't help but be shocked.

Compared to the destruction of the world, the fallen Ascended Ones fighting to the death for the inheritance of an empire is nothing.

Not to mention that among these worlds, there is actually Azir who was not betrayed, unified the entire planet, and created a magnificent ascended empire of tens of thousands of celestial warriors.

However, in the face of the void, even so, it is difficult to escape the outcome of mass extinction.

However, even if the existence of Josh Russell creates a new parallel world line, if it has been trapped in the time gap and cannot make changes to reality, it will still be difficult for this world to change the "established" ending.

Kieran stopped using time magic, and everything in the room returned to its original state almost instantly, as if everything just shown was just an illusory dream.

"I want to go back."

Josh withdrew his gaze, quickly recovered from those shattering scenes, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and looked at Kieran.

"I must go back, as soon as possible!"

But Kieran just shook his head, "Although you shouldn't belong here, I really don't know how you can return to reality..."

[After working on it for a long time, the old man of love has only increased our despair for the future, without giving us any hope.] Lunessia muttered dissatisfied.

After learning about the future of Runeterra, compared to the long-dead past, dealing with future disasters is the most important thing.

What's more, by looking at the intertwined future of the main world, Azir will surely return in an ascended manner and restore the glory of Shurima.

With the support of hope and belief, Lunishia's hatred for Kieran is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

"I have world rune fragments that can help me understand the mystery of time." Josh said, "And I know that you will meet your own like-minded time magic team, who all come from reality."

Kieran was stunned for a moment, "How do you know..."

"This is not important." Josh interrupted him, "What is important is how we can find those mages who have studied time in various eras, and how to return me to the real realm."

Kieran scratched his beard tangledly and looked embarrassed, "This... is really a bit embarrassing for my old man."

"Don't worry, we are working together."

Josh paused for a moment and continued: "I think that if my existence creates a completely different branch of time that may be able to overcome the terminal crisis, it shouldn't be something I can achieve if I am trapped here, right?"

…

…

Reality, Anaconda Islands.

Two or three hours have passed since Kamavia's army invaded Fuguang Island.

It was already early in the morning, and the people of Fuguang Island, who had already been arranged by the Baru Sect, were all restless and unable to fall asleep.

Ah Li stayed in a small hut with his mother and a group of other Vasani women.

The floor was laid, and the nerves had been tense all afternoon. It was rare for the women who were always preparing to escape to relax, but no one would sleep at this tense point.

The atmosphere in the room was dull and everyone was silent.

Only the rising and falling breathing and the rapid heartbeat became the rhythm that accentuated everyone's mood at this moment.

Ah Li bit her white lips, huddled in Lin's arms, and sat on the floor of the back room.

The slightly red eyes represented her anxiety at the moment and her worry about Josh.

It’s been so long, why hasn’t there been any news from Hylia?

What happened to Josh?

After getting along with him for half a year, Ahri knew that Josh was not a show-off person and basically trusted him unconditionally, but he could not help but have random thoughts.

What should I do if something happens to him?

"Don't think so wildly, Josh will be fine."

Lin kissed Ahri's forehead, patted her shoulder, and comforted her in a low voice: "We have created 158 golem puppets, each of which can fight one against a hundred. It is impossible for Kamavia's army to break through them."

Ah Li twitched his fox ears, sniffed, and gave his mother an unnatural smile, "I... believe in Josh."

Then, she lowered her eyes again, but her melancholy did not dissipate.

Lin's face showed bitterness and sadness.

As a mother, her daughter's pain is equally reflected in her heart.

This Qiao Xi, even before the oath ceremony with Xiaoli, made her miss him so much. I will definitely take care of him with Yaro in the future!

Just as I was thinking in my mind, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed closely by a "dong-dong" knock on the door.

The nearest Vasani woman opened the door, and it was Yaro who stood outside the dim room.

"Dad!" Ah Li jumped up and trotted outside the house, with hope on his face, "Is Josh back?!"

There was a fleeting sadness and pain in Yaro's eyes, which was easily caught by Ahri, who is sensitive to emotions.

Fortunately, Lin came over in time and rescued Ya Luo: "Ahri, let dad rest for a while. He has been busy all afternoon."

"But Josh..."

"Don't worry, Josh will be fine."

Saying that, Lin, who was already standing side by side with Yaro, secretly poked her husband with her elbow.

"Ah...yes, that's right, Josh will be fine! Xiaoli, you can rest assured."

But Ahri is no longer the same Ahri as before. She has mastered spiritual magic and is well aware of emotional fluctuations.

Tears instantly overflowed and fell from the corners of her eyes, but before Ahri's emotions could break out, a vaguely familiar voice made her instantly turn from sadness to joy.

"Ari..."

"Josh! I hear you!"

Ignoring Yaro and Lin's stunned expressions, Ahri turned around and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw in a dark corner not far away, an emerald-colored light and shadow suddenly flashed and disappeared in an instant.

"Josh!"

Ahri immediately ran towards the glowing place. Lin behind him glanced at her husband doubtfully, and read something from the hint in his eyes. She immediately became anxious and chased after him.

"Wait...little raccoon!"

However, the terrain structure of the Manghang Islands is uneven, with large differences between the top and bottom.

Coupled with the architectural style of the Baru people, Ahri just made a few turns and got rid of his parents who were chasing him.

Not long after, she followed the trace of green light and ran to the unexplored southern area of ​​the Python Islands.

Against the backdrop of the moonlit night, the swaying shadows of the ancient trees and vines on the stone walls looked extremely eerie.

But Josh's call came again. Ahri gritted his teeth, guided his spiritual magic with his right hand, and pinched a glowing magic ball out of thin air. Then he suppressed the panic in his heart and got in directly.

When she arrived at an area where the physical and spiritual barriers were relatively weak, she saw her sweetheart, whose body was exuding emerald light and whose figure was swaying and illusory.

It's like a soul that has already died but is stuck in the mortal world due to obsession.

Tears instantly poured out like a bursting dam. Ahri covered her mouth and cried, "No..."

…

…

Don’t worry, there won’t be any knives! (It probably doesn’t count)

There won’t be any complicated timeline travel, this is just a transitional chapter!
Chapter completed!
