"Chief, is Balliard the person you want to see?"

Reed took Balliard to the cave where the leader lived all year round. He was five meters away from Balliard. He looked at Balliard slightly warily and asked the leader.

"...That's right, stand down. Thank you for your hard work."

White hood, black mask, and clothes mainly in gold, white, and blue. Inexplicably, Balliard felt some familiar atmosphere, and those eyes shone with wisdom (jiao) and wisdom (zha).

Almost exactly the same as Ryze.

"Who are you? Are there any archmages who can rival Ryze in ancient times?"

Balliard stared at the eyes of the leader of the organization. Those are not eyes that mortals can have, but eyes that can be owned by those who have witnessed the truth. Apart from Ryze, there seems to be no other mage in Runeterra who has witnessed the truth? Others?

A mage is not qualified to see the truth under normal circumstances, but in other world lines, he may not be unable to see the truth.

Reed retreated obediently, but he still heard what Balliard said.

Ryze...who is this person? And why do you say ancient times? Reed is confused, but he is not qualified to stay here and continue to listen.

"You are very special. You are not Sima Yi, but you have become Sima Yi. Why is this?"

The leader of the organization did not answer Balliard's question, but asked Balliard to answer his question. His eyes were shining with runic energy. He "looked" at Balliard in an attempt to obtain more information.

, however, the power of the transcendent is limited, and the rune energy in the world is too thin. No matter how hard he works, there is always a layer of fog covering Balliard's fate, and he...can't see through it.

"Why? How do I know this? Can you tell me who you are?"

Balliard still doesn't know who this guy is, how can he honestly tell his origins? Even if they may cooperate in the future, it is only a possibility, and they may also be hostile. After all, they are a

A demigod who studies the energy of the void. Whether this demigod is working for the void, Balliard does not know.

"Zuo Ci, this is my name. Your name is Balliard, right?"

Zuo Ci spat out his name, but the energy in his eyes still did not dissipate. For the first time, he met someone he could not see through. Even if it was because he could not fully use his abilities now, it was enough to surprise him.

"...Yes, that's right. Why did you come to me?"

Some black lines appeared on Baliard's head. This name... if nothing else, is a characteristic of this world line, just like Sima Yi is Azir and Zhuge Liang is Zerath. Zuo in other world lines

Ci, I guess that’s not the name.

"Explore the unknown, you have secrets I want to know."

Zuo Ci slowly approached Balliard. At this time, Balliard discovered that Zuo Ci was floating in the air. It was incredible that in this situation, he could actually levitate himself. Although he was not flying, he would still bear the burden.

A little less pressure.

"How about equivalent exchange? You answer one question for me, and I'll answer another question for you. As the leader of this organization, you shouldn't give me a false answer, right?"

Balliard did not feel the cunning part of this demigod's will, but as he said, this is a demigod who explores secrets and pursues truth. This kind of demigod will not refuse equivalent exchange, because

Unilaterally asking for everything you want means owing favors. In the eyes of people at this level, favors are cause and effect, which means trouble.

The gods in the sky will never mind getting the demigods in this world to their chessboard through some cause and effect to perform chants for them. And equal exchange means that both parties do not owe each other, the cause and effect is settled, and there is no other

People can interfere.

"Shadow, the name of the organization is Shadow. Since you want to make a deal, you must at least know who you are making the deal with."

Zuo Ci spoke without any ups and downs. If Balliard hadn't been able to feel that Zuo Ci was spying on him all the time, Balliard might have thought Zuo Ci was a robot.

"If you say so, do you agree?"

Balliard also wanted to spy on this demigod, but compared to this demigod who was forced to stay in Runeterra, his power was too weak. If he used extraordinary power to spy on Zuo Ci, I am afraid that the rules of Runeterra would

First of all, expel him. As for Zuo Ci - doesn't it mean that he can stay here?

"Well, you ask."

Zuo Ci nodded.

"...What deal do you have with Void?"

Balliard smiled slyly. Since the other party agreed to an equal exchange, then, as far as he felt Zuo Ci's will, either Zuo Ci told him the truth, or Zuo Ci refused to answer the question, no matter it was

Either way, Valliard can get useful information.

"Void? This is a distant word. Your origin is indeed extraordinary. The void once called me, but Sima Yi stopped me and convinced me not to go to Icacia to seek the power of the void. This is how I and

It’s a void relationship, nothing more, no transaction.”

Zuo Ci Gujing Wubo's eyes seemed to see through Balliard's scheme, but he didn't care. In exchange of equal value, Balliard got it from him.

No matter how valuable the information was, he could get the same value of information from Balliard. The secrets of Balliard made Zuo Ci find ways to give out more information.

"Summoning you...that's it."

Baliard knew who he had missed, Malzahar, the Prophet of the Void. He could see the fate of others clearly, but the ugly human heart disappointed him. He tried to be enlightened and understand the truth, so he went to Ai

Cassia, and in this world line, Sima Yi stopped him...

Wait, Sima Yi stopped him! Then Zuo Ci is not more than two thousand years old at most? After all, Sima Yi was a person from 1,800 years ago. In this case, why is Zuo Ci... Could it be that Zuo Ci is not a demigod?

"It's my turn to ask questions, Balliard. I want to know why you were able to become Sima Yi."

Why was Zuo Ci successfully blocked by Sima Yi in the first place? If he really wanted to go to Icacia, even if Sima Yi used the military soul army to besiege him, he would not succeed because he could see the fate and Sima Yi had not yet

Before making a decision, he knew where Sima Yi would stop him.

However, he still went because he couldn't see through Sima Yi's future. It was a very doubtful future. At that time, Sima Yi would be killed by Zhuge Liang in two years. However, Sima Yi's future even extended to thousands of years later.

Can you still have a future after death? Zuo Ci knew that Sima Yi might continue to exist in the form of a soul.

One day in the future, fate took a turn. All he could see was that Sima Yi had reached a deal with a certain existence. After that, Zuo Ci could only observe Sima Yi's fate by observing the future of others.

.

This means that destiny can be changed, and human beings are not destined to fall into the curse of endless painful reincarnation. What could excite him more than this? He can see the future of others, and can observe the fate of others,

He even told them in the form of prophecies, but in the end, nothing changed in the outcome.

Sima Yi is a special case. He made Zuo Ci believe in the possibility of changing his destiny, so Zuo Ci postponed his trip to Icacia to gaze into the abyss in order to achieve enlightenment.

"This... how should I put it, is a demigod who agreed to Sima Yi to save Zhuge Liang from the hands of the void, and I am the person chosen by the demigod. Under the premise of Sima Yi's willingness and the witness of the world,

I inherited everything from him, I am Sima Yi, but Sima Yi is not me."

Balliard felt that there were many unknowns lurking in this world. Under various clues, he felt more and more that extraordinary people could not appear in this world 1,800 years ago. Otherwise, how could Zhuge Liang go to the star realm? Otherwise, how could Zhuge Liang go to the star realm?

,How can Zuo Ci become a transcendent?

"It is impossible for a person to inherit everything from another person. You must not be human, right? As far as I know, only demons or gods can borrow other people's identities to realize their wishes. Which one are you?"

Zuo Ci continued to ask questions. He didn't care how much information the questions he asked required him to use to trade with Balliard. He just wanted to know more secrets. Sima Yi had already let him know that fate was not unchangeable, but how

What about changing your destiny? There must be some secret hidden in this method.

"Yes, I am not a human, a devil, a god, you can call me whatever you want, I am just a highly divine spirit, nothing more."

Balliard doesn't mind revealing some of his own information. Zuo Ci wants to get more information from him. Isn't he thinking this way? The more you pay, the more you can get.

"It's my turn. Eighteen hundred years ago, was this world filled with runic energy?"

Zuo Ci must be one of the witnesses of that era. Being familiar with Sima Yi, he might have played an extraordinary role in that era. Such a person must know many things, including things that Sima Yi did not tell Balliard.

those things.

"Arch Mage Ryze changed the rules, allowing the runic energy to decline, and the world cannot accommodate extraordinary people. However, every once in a while, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, the runic energy will spurt out.

It's like a balloon. For thousands of years, all the runic energy has been suppressed in it. Then one day, the balloon explodes, and the runic energy returns to the world again, and the suppression of the realm is also broken.

The last energy tide was indeed 1,800 years ago, and there are still less than two years until the next energy tide arrives. You are the emperor of Jin now, right? It is true to conquer mortals with the body of a transcendent.

It's very easy, but you have to hurry up, because in two years, the princes on this continent will not be so easy to conquer."

Zuo Ci observed the fate of Jin. Although he could not see the fate of Balliard, Balliard inherited everything from Sima Yi and became the emperor of Jin. He only needed to observe what changes had taken place in Jin.

Zuo Ci knew what Valliard had done.

Apparently, two years later, Balliard still had not conquered the continent of Shurima.

"It's really surprising. I also know that this country cannot be reunited so easily. If my Jin country becomes stronger, the princes in the north will definitely unite. There is also a desert in the middle.

It is indeed very difficult to capture them. Being able to bring the desert area south of the Lijiang River in Kohar under my control is enough to lay the foundation for the unification of the Jin state."

Balliard understood what Zuo Ci meant.

Note that although he is a transcendent, it is almost impossible for a mortal army to stop him, but don't forget that there are bug-level things like the Army Soul Legion in this world line. As a transcendent, Balliard can't stop him.

It cannot exert the strength of the extraordinary level, but the army of military souls can exert the power of will of the extraordinary ninth level.

Not to mention that Baliard is only a seventh-level transcendent, even if he is a ninth-level one, he still cannot defeat a military soul army.

"Do you have any other questions?"

So far, Zuo Ci and Balliard have each asked two questions, but this is far from reaching Zuo Ci's goal. He still wants to know more.

"Of course, let me ask first?"

Balliard didn't think about these two problems, so he squeezed all the secrets out of Zuo Ci. This is Malzahar in this world line. He is born with divinity and "concentric with heaven". In this world line, ordinary people

It is already very difficult for people to feel the energy of runes, and it is even more difficult to use the energy of runes. However, Zuo Ci can still cross the void and the underworld, cross the land of nothingness, and feel the world of will.

This kind of person who can watch destiny all the time knows most of the things in this world line. Almost nothing can be hidden from Zuo Ci's eyes. Balliard and Nasus come from other world lines.
