First, take down the Sword Demon, then save Runeterra.

The Shadow Isles are not large, with a maximum diameter of about 200 kilometers from north to south. You can reach the center of the island instantly with teleportation magic.

Only Maokai remained in the same place. He hadn't seen the sun for a thousand years, and even though it was dusk, he still wanted to enjoy the long-awaited sunbathing.

Yorick had to come; the Well of Ten Thousand Years was located thousands of meters underground, and this vast underground space was once an important functional center of Hyria.

The library, shopping street, council hall, and even the prison are all located here, making it like the most complex maze, where it is easy to get lost without a guide.

Yorick served as a monk in the monastery and was highly respected by the Elders of Hyria, spending most of his time in the central area.

He was also invited by the elders to visit the deepest part of Fuguang Island, the source of life—Wanzai Well.

"Is a rift to the underworld hidden a thousand meters underground...?" Atto narrowed his eyes, feeling a surge of relief.

Fortunately, before the Devouring Outbreak occurred, Ledros and Kalista were taken away by the Death Goddess of the Masked Mother.

If they were sucked into the underworld, the two would have just escaped Feuergo's torment only to face Mordecais's domination.

Upon arriving at the large pit leading to the bottom, Yorick froze on the spot.

Because Feuerge occupied this place, he walked around the central area for a thousand years and never came here again.

With the debunking of the Curse of Ruin, the shockwave collapsed the crater, breaking many roads below. Ruins and stone pillars lay scattered haphazardly in the pit, leaving not a single path.

“The central area is completely destroyed, and it is very different from what I remember. I feel powerless to do anything about it…” Yorick said apologetically.

I wonder how Tyrus managed to get around the world and take the World Rune with him back then.

“No need for that.” Syndra pouted. “I’m asking you, the Well of Ten Thousand Years is at the deepest part, right?”

"That's right..."

“That’s easy.” Syndra summoned a black sphere two meters in diameter. “Breaking through the Earth’s core is a piece of cake for me.”

"Hey, don't be impulsive..."

Before Ator could stop it, the black ball fell straight down, instantly burying any obstacles it encountered along the way, forming a neat cylindrical channel.

“See, it’s easy, isn’t it?” Syndra said smugly. “We’ve reached the bottom. Let’s go down.”

After saying that, she helped Gwen up and floated down the path carved out by violence.

Ato felt an urge to cover his face. Although Syndra was powerful, she was not mature enough because she had been sealed for too long and had not received a proper education since childhood.

They act without any regard for the consequences. The underworld has only just finished absorbing the black mist. What if the Tin Man and his army haven't left yet?

"Never mind, confirming the Netherworld Rift is more important. Let's catch up quickly."

The passage opened up by the annihilated matter was neat and smooth, and the group arrived at the bottom of the central area without any hindrance.

Syndra wrapped Gwen in her protective shield and held her tightly to her side, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

She does have her strengths; she tries her best to make amends for her mistakes.

Deep underground, sunlight cannot penetrate, but without any other light source, everyone can see their surroundings clearly.

A towering gate, taller than two people, stood before them, emitting a blinding white light that illuminated the dark cave.

"Is Wanzai Well there?" Ato asked.

Yorick's eyes widened: "Unbelievable, this place has been preserved exactly as it was!"

Without hesitation, he strode forward and entered the portal of light.

Ato followed closely behind, passing through the portal of light. Gazing at the wondrous sight before him, he exclaimed, "What a paradise I am..."

Behind the door, there are blue skies and white clouds, lush green trees, and a blazing sun hanging in the center of the sky.

Despite being located deep underground, the scenery is no different from a beautiful garden on the surface!

Yorick explained, "As a sacred site on Blessed Island, a place where the Water of Life is stored, this strange space was formed because it was influenced by a deeper, mysterious force."

Ato suddenly realized why everything he saw was full of vibrant life; it was all related to the resolute green that symbolizes life.

Even the death power of the underworld cannot be changed.

Wanzai Well is located in the center of this space. It looks like an artificial pool, but at this moment there is not a drop of water left in it.

Upon approaching, Yorick said regretfully, "I thought I could get some replenishment, but it seems the Water of Life has all flowed away along the cracks."

Atto nodded and said to the group, "We'll split up and search. If we find any spatial rifts, don't get close. Send a signal immediately!"

In his vision, the life force of the World Runes and the absolute destruction of the King's Blade collided violently, causing a rift to tear open the Underworld, which was the root cause of the Curse of Ruin's eruption.

The fact that the black fog that absorbed the entire world eventually gathered here and disappeared proves that Ator was right.

This strange space wasn't large. Half an hour later, after searching every corner, they still couldn't find any trace of the crack.

Riven examined it most thoroughly, holding up Taroche and using it as a landmine detector, but to no avail.

"Did the Tin Man deliberately seal the rift to the Underworld? I think I know what he's up to..."

A thousand years ago, when Folyago arrived at Blessed Isle, Mordekaiser had already been sealed away by LeBlanc and returned to become the ruler of the underworld, more than five hundred years earlier.

The opening of the rift in the underworld must have been unexpected for him.

The amount of death energy seeping from the underworld must be considerable to cause such a transformation in all the creatures on the Shadow Isles.

As the ruler of the underworld, Mordekaiser originally had the right to reclaim it, but due to the leakage of his power causing his own level to decline, and because Feuergo was too strong, he has never been able to do so.

The Ruined King is dead, and no one can stop him from reclaiming the power that rightfully belongs to him.

"So the Tin Man wasn't at his peak before, and he actively closed the rift to recover. He was only missing the part belonging to Foygo in Gwen."

"I wonder how Nera's last entry into the Underworld went. The reinforcements from the Shadow Isles should be enough to make up for the losses."

“From now on, we must focus on Gwen. She and Isulder are one, and Folyago’s power must not be taken away by the Underworld.”

Seeing Ato's somber expression, Akshan couldn't help but ask, "The Curse of Ruin... is over, right? We should be happy!"

"The Light Sentinels were founded to fight against the Black Mist, and today we have completed our final mission!"

"To witness the end of the Ruined King with my own eyes, I think the predecessors who died at the hands of the undead will surely find solace!"

Ato sighed, "You're right. The troubles on the Shadow Isles are completely resolved. We should be happy. Let's go back."

How can I keep suppressing it? Let me be happy for a few days first!
