Start in Terra, immortal

"Excuse me, did you just arrive here?" Shen asked politely and cautiously.

"I've been here since I arrived on this land, for a while now. What's wrong?" Rosso asked in a strange tone, his eyebrows furrowed and his expression full of doubt.

"The stars guided me here to restore balance." Shen slowly placed his hand on the blade on his back, ready to draw it at any moment.

Looking at Shen, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, Rosso chuckled: "Balance? What is balance? Is it merely the balance between the material and spiritual realms as you see it?"

Crossing the boundary between the two realms, Rosso appeared in the spiritual realm, walked to Shen's side, and drew a blade from his back.

"Now, please tell me, what is equilibrium?"

Watching his opponent disappear from the material realm and then suddenly reappear in the spiritual realm, even taking away his soul blade, Shen broke out in a cold sweat.

Just as I was about to take action, I found that I couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

This had never happened before. The mental battle with the other side had been a complete defeat.

"This isn't an enemy!" Shen realized instantly. To be alive after being crushed so easily meant that the other party meant no harm and was merely teaching him a lesson.

I wanted to say something, but I found myself unable to speak—literally unable to speak.

"You calm down here first, I'm going to explore the spiritual realm." With that, Rosso quickly left, his destination clear.

Because he discovered a city in the realm of the spirit.

This city was not in the spiritual realm corresponding to the land of Ionia beneath their feet, but Rosso still sensed it through the portal.

Tearing through space, breaking boundaries. Rosso repeatedly traversed between the material and spiritual realms, heading straight in the direction he sensed.

After traversing an unknown distance, Rosso finally appeared before the city.

It is described as a city, but it is actually like a continent, existing alone in the spiritual realm.

"Who are you? Who brought you to Bandle City?" A short Yordle spotted Rosso.

As a Bandle scout beloved by the Yordle people, Ava possessed a keen sense far exceeding that of other Yordles, allowing her to spot this outsider ahead of time.

"My name is Rosso, and I come from—another world." Rosso was about to blurt out the spirit world, but then changed the subject and revealed his identity as a person from another world.

These wondrous beings from the spiritual realm were so pure that Rosso could read their minds at a glance—active and agile, full of curiosity and longing for the material world outside.

If the material world so close to them could drive them to relentless pursuit, how much more so another world so far away?

Interacting with them as someone from another world is a faster way to bridge the gap.

"Another world? I know that. We Bandle scouts often go there to explore. My scout manual even has records of the scenery and species there. Look!" Ava said, pulling out a scroll of records from behind her back, quickly flipping to a certain page, and handing it to Rosso.

Rosso glanced at the contents of the paper; it depicted a circular wheel surrounded by lines that looked like sand.

"Not this world! It's the world outside of this world!" Rosso became frivolous in front of the lively Ava.

Upon hearing that it wasn't a world they had been to, Ava's ears perked up, and she became unusually excited.

"It's a world the Yordles have never explored! I should tell Teemo this!" Ava exclaimed excitedly, running towards a treehouse.

A short while later, Ava led a group of small people out and surrounded Rosso.

"He looks no different from the other people outside."

"But Ava says he's from the outermost, outermost world!"

"Captain Teemo is very knowledgeable; let's ask him when he comes."

"It seems the captain and Tristana went to Bilgewater."

The chatter and arguing were incessant. Rosso didn't interrupt the Yordles' discussions; he just watched with a smile.

"Captain Teemo and the others are back!" Someone shouted, drawing everyone's attention to a large tree nearby.

"It's over by the doorway, they're back!"

Upon seeing Teemo, Ava beamed with joy and rushed to Teemo and his group, who were walking towards them from the doorway.

"Captain Teemo! You'll never guess who I ran into!"

Ava's voice was so loud that Timo and his friends, who were still joking and laughing, stopped talking and focused their attention on what Ava was about to say.

"They're outsiders from outside the world!" Ava said, hands on her hips, eyes closed, a smug look on her face.

"What? The outside world? That's so interesting! Lulu wants to go play in the outside world!" It wasn't Teemo who responded first, but Lulu.

Teemo spotted Rosso standing out awkwardly among the group of Yordles at a glance.

"How did you find Bandle City?" Unlike the other excited Bandle scouts, Teemo asked directly.

Teemo's question was like a slamming ruler, startling the clamor of the Yordles.

"Bandle City is so special in the spiritual realm that its existence can be found even in spiritual realms across different regions."

Rosso remained noncommittal; he found it difficult to explain concepts like spiritual matter, the origin of the soul, and spiritual remnants to a group of spiritual beings.

"Teemo, the scouts say he didn't seem to come through the doorway," Tristana nudged Teemo's arm and whispered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Timo was taken aback, then immediately straightened his posture.

"Hello, I'm Teemo, the captain of the Bandle Scouts!"

Teemo knew perfectly well how elusive Bandle City was in the spiritual realm. Even the Yordles themselves could only return to Bandle City by chance until they found a fixed teleportation point.

The scout manual never mentioned anyone like Rosso who could pinpoint Bandle City from the spiritual realms of other places.

Moreover, the other party did not use the doorway, which is very similar to the Protoss I have encountered outside.

And all of these Protoss have one thing in common: they all possess world-destroying power.

Let alone the ordinary Yordles in Bandle City, even Lulu would probably have a hard time fighting against that kind of being.

Teemo couldn't fathom the possibility that such a being, arriving in Yordle with good intentions, would be detrimental to Bandle City.

Seeing that Teemo had lowered his guard, Tristana also put down her single-barreled cannon and began to introduce herself: "I am Tristana, the Meereen Guard of Bandle City. Sorry for pointing 'Boom' at you earlier."

"Are there flying machines in other worlds?" asked a Yordle piloting a strange flying machine while wearing goggles.

"Rambo, didn't I tell you Piltover has flying machines?"

"I almost forgot, Tristana! There are no aircraft in Piltover! Not a single one! I've searched the entire Piltover! And I haven't seen a single one!"

"According to Bandle's Scout Code No. 166: Always maintain curiosity about new things. I've decided to form an otherworldly exploration team. Anyone want to join?"

"Lulu wants to join!"

"Tristana is joining too!"

"If there were airplanes, I'd join too."
