Star River Turbulence, Star Realm Wandering God!

What kind of joke is this?

Looking at the person wearing a wooden mask—no, it wasn't a mask at all; it was actually his face, a round face made of wood with only a few small holes for his facial features, emitting a faint purple glow.

He floated there quietly, holding a purple flower trumpet in his hand. Judging from his appearance and color scheme, he was clearly Deity belonging to the Akana faction.

But the question Li Ke wanted to ask was, why was he here?

It's worth noting that Li Ke mentioned a long time ago that, in Riot Games' vision, the Soul Blossom skin line isn't simply part of a skin universe!

The Soul Blossom skin champions can appear at the same time as the champions of the main universe, namely Runeterra, without affecting each other. This is not like the Odyssey universe series, nor is it a special universe like Deity and Immortal Journey, or Star Guardian.

Therefore, this guy shouldn't even be here!

Of course, Li Ke recognized who it was—it was Bard, damn it!

Bard!

Officially recognized, and widely acknowledged by the player community as one of the strongest!

It is the true pinnacle of the universe!

In Riot Games' official universe, Aurelion Sol is the absolute ceiling, and the only entity comparable to him is the Void, which is also the only existence that Aurelion Sol takes seriously.

As for Nagakabouros, that Great Serpent sea monster is just the designer's self-indulgence.

Below the Dragon King, Li Ke knew of two other beings: one was the Mask Mother, who created Kindred and many other Grim Reapers, and the other was Bard, the wandering god who roamed among the planets.

Yes, Bard is widely recognized as the strongest being below the Dragon King!

Among heroes, Aurelion Sol is number 1 and Bard number 2; this is something almost no one would argue with.

Therefore, seeing Bard appear in Soul Blossom Land, to be honest, Li Ke's legs were trembling a little.

This is absolutely outrageous!

The joy he felt upon seeing so many Deity in the Lotus Lands vanished instantly, because even if all these Deity were combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat Bard.

Just how ridiculously strong is Bard, the strongest being second only to the Dragon King?

Let's put it that way.

Ornn is powerful, isn't he?

Ornn is Runeterra recognized as the Strong Demigod in Runeterra. Even in the Celestial Universe, he is among the top tier. The respect that Soraka, the Starchild, shows Ornn, and the words she spoke when a Celestials descended to Earth, reveal just how powerful Ornn truly is.

Even a dozen of ordinary Demigod wouldn't be enough for Ornn to swung his hammer.

And this is Ornn, whose true form is actually those little wood sprites that follow Bard!

Yes, you heard right. The group of little elves following Bard, those little yellow creatures that dance when he plays his trumpet, will grow up to be Ornn!

How many such wood spirits does Bard have?

Just like in the game, Bard constantly roams the Rift, absorbing wood spirits to strengthen himself. In the official lore, Bard also travels to various planets, saving them and taking away the nature spirits of those planets.

Therefore, it is impossible to calculate how long Bard has existed, how many planets he has visited over the years, or how many Wood Spirits he has possessed.

If it weren't for the certainty that Bard was a benevolent Deity, Li Ke would be green with envy right now.

"Li Ke, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Ke standing there dumbfounded, Ahri sniffed and jumped onto Li Ke's shoulder.

The Little Fox nuzzled Li Ke's cheek and then said, "What are you daydreaming about?"

"Ahri... why is he here?" Li Ke asked Ahri, a conversation only Li Ke and Ahri could hear.

Ahri glanced at Bard, then whispered to Li Ke, "You mean him?"

"I don't know either."

"What?"

I said I didn't know either.

Ahri explained, "He belongs to Thresh's side, he's Deity of the Akana faction, although both Akana and Kanmei are under my jurisdiction. But the problem is, I really don't know how he got in, or what kind of memories he came from."

"It's just that, it was just one day. He suddenly appeared like that? Just like you," Ahri said earnestly.

She wasn't lying.

She was one of the first Deity born in the Soul Blossom Land, but in her memory, she truly had no idea how this wooden creature belonging to the Akana faction came to be.

To find out, perhaps we should ask Thresh?

"."

Li Ke took a deep breath.

No, you can't mistake him for Bard. The Deity of Soul Blossom have no connection to real-world heroes, so this one probably just looks like Bard?

It's possible that some Ionia person once saw Bard, then spread Bard's story, and as a result, Deity was born because of him?

This was the only way Li Ke could think of it; otherwise, there was absolutely no way to explain why Bard would be here.

The Lotus Lands are indeed powerful, and Runeterra certainly possesses unique characteristics, but for Bard, destroying Runeterra is merely a matter of a single move.

As the supreme god of the universe, Li Ke believed that Bard fully possessed this ability!

Despite thinking this way, Li Ke still maintained his respect for Bard.

After cutting off contact with Ahri, Li Ke looked at Bard and tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

"Buzz--" The wooden face shook, Bard shook his head, picked up the flower trumpet and blew on it, making a buzzing sound, and then smiled at Li Ke.

A sinister smile.

"."

Li Ke didn't understand a word Bard said.

Moreover, because the Akana Deity all have unforgettable attachments, their emotions fluctuate greatly, and they often don't contact each other. None of the Akana faction Deity present paid any attention to Bard, and no one explained what Bard had said to Li Ke.

"."

"Can you speak? Or send me a telepathic message?" Seeing that Bard was easy to talk to, Li Ke continued.

Bard's wooden face narrowed its two small holes, and then the next moment, the sound of a trumpet playing appeared in Li Ke's mind.

Blow, blow, blow! What are you even blowing?!

Do you know how flustered I get when I see you?!

Suppressing his worries, Li Ke took a deep breath and looked at Ahri: "Ahri, where 'Thresh?"

"Thresh? Thresh doesn't want to see you." Ahri tilted her head and laughed as she spoke, "Thresh has been depressed ever since you came in and took me and Tristana out last time."

"He knows it's impossible to imprison your soul now; after all, if he dared to do that, everyone would beat him to death!" Ahri said seriously.

Tristana, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Yeah, we won't let Thresh catch you."

Then, a furry paw tugged at Li Ke's trouser leg. Li Ke turned his head and looked down, only to see a face that looked like it deserved a punch.

"Can you really take us out to have fun?"

It's Teemo.

He held up something that looked like a wooden flute, squinting at Li Ke as he spoke.

Li Ke: "."

Teemo's face is so annoying, it's like he wants to punch someone.

After exchanging a few words with Teemo, Li Ke spoke for a while with the Deity who had approached him. Then, Li Ke said, "I need everyone's help this time. Ahri, take me to see Thresh."

"Are you sure you want to see him?" Ahri asked in a strange tone. "He's not coming to see you because he's afraid that if he sees you, he won't be able to resist trying to steal your soul."

"What if he goes berserk if you go to see him now?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "Aren't you all still here?"

"That's true."

Ahri nodded, then wagged her big tail and jumped off Li Ke's shoulder. She walked forward, saying, "Found it. Come on, follow me, I'll take you to Thresh."

Ahri seems very excited, and rightly so. Being a guide to cause trouble for her old rival, of course Ahri would be excited!

Ultimately, Ahri is truly mischievous; she is naturally lively, playful, and clever.

Li Ke nodded and followed Ahri, but he didn't notice that Bard was tilting his head and looking at his back.

A colorful light flashed in the wooden eyes, and a look that didn't belong to Bard appeared, but it vanished in the next instant.

In the celestial universe, in the land of stars—

In a galaxy that no one can reach, a bulky, tall, long-lived being with grayish-white hair that is hard to tell whether it is hair or a beard is taking a rest.

His gray-white hair grew up to his chest and was tied up at the bottom.

He wore a patched robe with a bright red scarf in the middle. This being, who lived in the Milky Way, had a face made of a round piece of wood.

The wood was plain, smooth and clean, but suddenly two holes appeared.

In the next instant, golden light appeared from the two black holes.

As the two holes appeared, the Milky Way behind him began to tremble violently, and countless celestial particles began to move and split apart.

"Plop plop!"

As the starry sky rippled, a swarm of tiny, golden creatures appeared, calling out in countless numbers, so numerous that it was impossible to count them all.

The tiny Celestials were golden in color, with round heads, slender bodies, and no arms, only legs.

A group of tiny golden creatures ruffled the beard of this being, while another group of creatures carried a huge horn on their heads, and on the horn, two creatures were lazily dozing off.

With a "hum," another hole appeared beneath the two golden holes.

The sound rang out, and the next moment, the galaxy behind him shattered completely.

Two enormous hands began to move, and in the blink of an eye, the shattered galaxy shrank and appeared in his large hands, changing from iridescent colors to a golden hue.

"Pfft!"

A golden creature leaped onto his chest and headbutted him.

Then it started making "plop plop" sounds.

"Buzz?"

"."

"Buzz!"

He nodded, then stood up amidst the starry sky.

The little guy in front of him had just told him that he had been napping for three hundred years, and he felt that his afternoon nap had been really good.

It smells so good!

But if no one had disturbed him, he thought he could have continued sleeping.

He reached out and caught the little golden creature in front of him, then nodded to it.

The little golden creature in my palm shook its head, and the next moment, a strange space appeared.

Looking at this space, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the astral creature named Bard.

"Buzz?"

"Plop plop!"

The little guy in front of me is saying, "That's exactly how it is."

Bard became even more curious upon hearing this. When had he split his divine sense?

You must know that his divine sense, even a single wisp, is enough to destroy a planet. Therefore, he always makes these little guys keep an eye on him when he sleeps. But this time, they actually failed to keep an eye on him?

"Plop plop, plop!"

"Buzz?"

Did my divine sense wander off on its own?

Bard was even more surprised upon hearing this.

So he stretched out his large hand towards that space and then put his hand in.

But the next moment, he abruptly withdrew his hand, his eyes narrowing.

Combined with the hole in the mouth area, the expression looks like one of shock.

Yes, Bard was indeed shocked.

What did he sense?

The aura of the Starry Sky Dragon, the aura of the Mask Mother, and the aura of that desolate, lifeless void filled with mournful cries.

How could so many powerful auras appear on one planet at the same time?

This piqued Bard's interest, and he realized why his divine sense had wandered off and ended up in that place.

Because he is who he is.

Bard is an optimist by nature, always eager to join in the fun; otherwise, he wouldn't be called "Cosmic Street Wanderer."

It's worth noting that the title he gave himself was "Wandering God of the Stars."

This shows just how much Bard loves to wander around.

"Buzz"

"Puji?"

"Buzz."

Bard sighed. He couldn't force his way into that planet. Although he could break the laws set by the planet, which had given birth to a will, if he wanted to, he wouldn't be himself.

He would only go to a planet when it was in crisis, to save its inhabitants and take away its will—which is these little golden creatures in front of him.

Another issue is that forcibly breaking in would attract the attention of the Starry Sky Dragon and the Mask Mother.

Although the Star Dragon was trapped, Bard knew very well that there was nothing in the Celestial Realm that could trap him. He did it willingly, and Bard had no idea what he was thinking.

But Bard didn't care about him, because Bard and that guy just didn't get along.

So when the little guy asked him what to do, Bard came up with a good idea.

Since we can't go there in our physical bodies, why not just observe that world from the perspective of divine thought?

I just woke up, it's okay to rest for a while.

As for how long he needs to rest, that depends on when the next planet that needs his help appears.

Thinking of this, Bard smiled and happily picked up the megaphone and blew it once.

"Buzz!!!"

With just one sound, the entire universe reverberated with the sound of his horn.

In an instant, countless powerful beings in the celestial realm concealed their auras.

Especially in the territory of the Targonians, a single blast of a loudspeaker was enough for the Targonians King to issue an order forbidding the Celestials from leaving.

This was merely a sound that Bard blew out because he was happy.

With his eyes closed, Bard connected with his divine thoughts.

The Soul Blossom Land, Purple Prison Mountain.

Most of the Lotus Deity left after learning they were going to Thresh's location, especially the Deity of the Kanmei faction, led by Syndra, who clearly disliked Thresh.

However, quite a few people followed Li Ke to Purple Prison Mountain, intending to see what kind of fun it would have.

After all, this place rarely sees any fun, so not every Lotus Deity is as indifferent as Syndra, even the Deity of Kanmei.

At the very back of this group of Deity, the creature that had been floating in the air holding a flower trumpet, following the main force in a daze, suddenly shuddered.

The next moment, golden light shone from the two small holes on his wooden mask.

But in the next instant, the golden light was covered by purple.

"Buzz"

A soft, rustling sound emanated from him as he rotated his head 360 degrees, curiously examining the world around him.

Nobody knows.

The second Starry Sky has appeared.
