Chapter 2268: Sivir's Transformation
On Runeterra, the solar faith is a very powerful force, which is no less powerful than the Protoss or the demigods. The two largest faith groups are in Shurima, one is the ancient Shurima Empire, and the other is the Solari on Mount Targon.
Mount Targon is now dominated by the Solari, who believe in the "sun" and the source of the Sun and the Solari. The Solari is the largest religious group in the Mount Targon region. The Solari believe that the sun is the source of all life. To them, all other lights are false and will threaten the future of the Rakkor people.
The Solari's belief in the "sun" has a huge impact on the people on Mount Targon. For example, in the biography of Leona, the goddess of dawn, it is written that the Rakkor children have respected the sun since birth.
For the Rakkor people living on Mount Targon, the sun is sacred, and the Solari are the ones who worship the sun the most. Their children have been respecting the sun since birth, and will even shed blood for it, looking forward to the return of the sun's spirit and the great danger it portends.
The Fiery Solari also has specialized astrologers and priests who follow the trajectories of stars, planets, nebulae and comets, hoping to read the will of the spirits from them, looking forward to the return of the sun's spirit and the portents it brings.
But in the eyes of Lin Jiu, the son of the sun, the sun faith of the Fiery Solari on Mount Targon is not pure. At least it is not as pure as the faith of the Shurima people in the sun that is gathered into the sun disk.
It's not because they are not devout enough in their faith, but because of the goal of their faith. The Fiery Solari exists because of the Fiery Solari, the spirit that possessed Leona. They seem to believe in the sun, but in fact they believe in the star Fiery Sun and the Fiery Solari born in it.
It seems to be believing in the sun, but only a part of it, and the core is still the Fiery Solari. The founding queen of Shurima, Setaka, attracted the power of the sun because of her awakened bloodline before she came into contact with Mount Targon. The people of Shurima also believe in the "conceptual" sun, which has nothing to do with those star spirits.
The high-ranking officials and ascenders of the Shurima Empire know that the final result of the ascension ceremony is to steal the power of the star spirits from the astral world, but the people of the Shurima Empire do not know. They only offer devout faith to the sun.
Therefore, what Lin Jiu sensed in the sun disc was the extremely abundant power of the sun and the power of faith that matched it. It was easy to mobilize it and condense it into a brand.
Under the gaze of many tribal leaders, the sun disc was shining with golden light, and the powerful power gathered in the hands of the son of the sun. The son of the sun stretched out his hand and pointed this condensed power to the eyebrows of the woman who was about to become the founding emperor of the Sun Empire.
"..." Nasus was speechless when he saw the unique "ascension ceremony". Others who were watching had never seen the Ascension Ceremony before. Only he knew how dangerous this ceremony was. Any mistake in any step could lead to serious consequences, such as the energy riot of the sun disk. Even if there were no mistakes in any step, it was still possible to fail, resulting in the death of the people participating in the Ascension Ceremony.
The "Ascension Ceremony" held by the Son of the Sun was so understated that there was no danger at all. The powerful sun power completely lost its temper and became extremely gentle. At this point, Nasus no longer doubted Lin Jiu's identity as the Son of the Sun.
A golden-red flame pattern appeared between Sivir's eyebrows, which was extremely vivid, as if there was really a flame burning there. Lin Jiu was also surprised by this scene. This was completely different from the sun fire pattern totem he had drawn. It seemed that the powerful power formed by the combination of the sun power and the power of faith had produced some kind of reaction in Sivir, stimulating the blood power in her body.
The sun in the sky responded to this power, shining on the earth, making the dusk that was originally a little dim seem to turn into daylight. The golden light became more dazzling as it trembled, like thousands of sharp swords piercing through the clouds and falling on the sun disk.
Then, a tiny bright spot appeared in the center of the sun disk, which quickly expanded and turned into a blazing ball of light, burning and distorting the surrounding air.
As the ball of light expanded, the sun disk seemed to be ignited, and a deafening roar broke out. Light and heat reached their peak at this moment, and the sun disk seemed to have turned into the most violent furnace, illuminating everything.
Under the burst of this power, the clouds around the sun disk were instantly evaporated and turned into nothingness. Finally, under the guidance of the flame mark between Sivir's eyebrows like a coordinate, the gathered power fell on Sivir.
When Nasus saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being the ascension ceremony presided over by the Son of the Sun himself, which was much more spectacular than the ascension ceremony opened by his sun priest at that time.
Lin Jiu: (_)? ? ?
This is the scene now. Lin Jiu himself had not expected this. He had originally intended to use Sivir as a trigger. He had only intended to display the Sun Fire Emblem Totem, but he had not expected such a big commotion. However, thinking about Sivir's unactivated Sun Bloodline, he knew that this unexpected change must be for the better.
The light faded, the Sun Disc returned to calm, and when Sivir appeared in everyone's sight again, she had completely changed.
Sivir wore a set of armor made of pure gold and fiery red silk, with intricate sun totems and flame patterns carved on it. Every line seemed to contain the power of the sun and flashed with dazzling light.
Her long hair was carefully woven into intricate braids by an inexplicable force, and each braid was inlaid with dazzling gems, like flowing galaxies, reflecting her golden eyes.
A long sword condensed from the fire of the sun was hung around her waist, and the sword body emitted a blazing light. At the same time, she also rode a divine warhorse bred by the fire of the sun, which exuded golden flames all over its body, and its four hooves stepped into the air, as if walking in the void.
If the previous Sivir had a fierce and tough temperament, then this Sivir now has a sense of majesty, a bit of the style of an empress.
Lin Jiu looked at Sivir's new mount, the Sun Warhorse, and then at his own mount, the chubby panda, and suddenly felt that being a cavalryman was boring.
Sivir felt that she had gained a power countless times stronger than her previous self. If she encountered the attack of Vikola again, she would be fully capable of stopping the other party's conspiracy.
After feeling her own enhanced power, she looked at Lin Jiu again, and he was still much stronger than herself. It felt like if he didn't activate his bloodline, he would be like looking at the moon in a well; after activating the Sun Bloodline, he would be like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.
Lin Jiu didn't care about Sivir's researching eyes. The activation of the Sun Bloodline made her transform no matter how much, it would be impossible for her to directly jump from the fourth level to the same level as him. However, Lin Jiu could also feel that Sivir's improvement was indeed great, and he was also curious about what Sivir was like now. The black eagle landed on Lin Jiu's shoulder, with a light flashing in its eagle eyes, and explored Sivir's information.
