Chapter 146: Nasus and Renekton, the Ascension Ceremony
——"So this is what Nasus and Renekton looked like when they were mortals!"

——"These two brothers, one loves literature and the other loves martial arts, their personalities are completely different!"

——"When you mention that, I think of another pair of brothers, Yongen and Yasuo!"

——"Really! They are two brothers, and they have different personalities!"

——"But Nasus is still different from them!"

The life trajectories of Nasus and Renekton reminded the audience of Yone and Yasuo.

However, it seems that the fate of this pair of Shurima brothers is not as tortuous as that of Swiftblade, and this should be attributed to Nasus.

People who love reading are smarter. After Nasus became a general, he made arrangements for his younger brother!
The steady older brother is very worried about the reckless younger brother.

Yongen chose to give Yasuo a maple seed, representing his earnest teachings and high expectations for his younger brother.

Nasus' choice was to directly transfer Renekton to his legion. Although he used some small tricks, he also trained a brave warrior for Shurima.

The Shurimans hailed the brothers as the Twin Stars, and even though they were mere mortals, their reputation was equal to that of god-warriors!
This is true. After relieving the isolated city of Zurita, Renekton became a lieutenant appointed by the emperor and was given the title of "Gatekeeper of Shurima".

Renekton lived up to his brother and the empire, holding out until reinforcements led by Nasus arrived and thwarted the invasion.

The glory of this battle was entirely due to Renekton's bravery. It can be said that thanks to Nasus, Renekton's talent was used to fight for the honor of the empire instead of being wasted in fights among young people.

With his youthful bravery and Nasus's guidance, Renekton achieved military success year after year. He fought at the forefront of many wars of expansion and conquest for the empire, and his youthful ferocity was still evident, but his honor and courage were also well-known. Nasus, as a famous general and commander at the time, often said that he was only the strategist of the war, while Renekton was the one who led the charge and won the war.

And Renekton did not disappoint everyone. He led a special team of soldiers and fought ten against one to defend the rugged mountain road leading to the south, trying to delay time for the evacuation of the city.

No one knew his brother better than Nasus. Even though he knew the mission was a life-threatening one, he still ordered Renekton to lead the team because he was the bravest warrior in Nasus's legion.

Since this battle, Nasus and Renekton have become heroes of Shurima.

Their different talents also led them to choose different paths.

At the time, no one thought Renekton had a chance of surviving the battle, let alone winning it, so people had to respect the brothers Nasus and Renekton immensely, but the final result was gratifying.

Although Renekton is not yet old enough to join the army, it must be said that the military's discipline and system are a blessing for him.

Nasus began building a great library, collecting books from the conquered lands after each war.

Despite his numerous military achievements, Nasus never found joy in war.

He simply understood the importance of war - at least in the short term, war could ensure the continued development and prosperity of the empire, and he firmly believed that his greatest contribution to Shurima was the knowledge collected and preserved after each conquest. At Nasus's urging, all the books, scrolls, and doctrines of the defeated civilizations were preserved in libraries and repositories across the empire, leaving wisdom and enlightenment for future generations.

And in the huge library in the capital of Shurima, all this knowledge is compiled. It can be said that this is the crystallization of the entire Shurima Empire civilization!
There is no doubt that Nasus' choice was correct. Even in the Shurima Empire, which was founded on war, his behavior was loved by the people. Those age-old and powerful god-warriors also respected Nasus very much.

It can be said that Nasus is the head of Shurima's civil servants.

Renekton chose another path. He inherited Nasus's path in the Shurima army. After decades of fighting, Renekton's reputation was comparable to that of the Ascended God Warriors. His presence was an inspiration to the soldiers around him and a deterrent to the morale of the enemy.

The audience watched intently on the big screen as the brothers Nasus and Renekton contributed to the empire in their own ways.

However, in everyone's eyes, Nasus' contribution is obviously greater. The brave and warlike Renekton has made countless military exploits for Shurima, but only Nasus can be competent for tasks such as building the Great Library.

Decades passed like this, Nasus continued to fill the Shurima library with knowledge, and Renekton's hair turned white with time, leaving him with scars.

However, just when Renekton thought that his fate would be to die on the battlefield, bad news came - his brother would not live long.

When Renekton heard the news, he was as shocked as the audience in front of the screen!
The scene on the big screen turned back to the imperial capital of Shurima, and Nasus, the once high-spirited general who had commanded the legions in battle, was now lying on a hospital bed.

When Renekton rushed back to the capital, this was the scene he saw. This ruthless illness was about to take Nasus' life. He was suffering from an incurable disease.

His doctor solemnly announced that the general had less than a week to live.

Seeing this, all the viewers realized that Nasus and Renekton had reached a turning point in their destiny.

Regardless, Nasus's greatness was clear to all. Not only was he a great warrior, he also managed the greatest libraries in Shurima and wrote or translated many of the greatest historical works. For these services, Nasus was beloved by the people of Shurima, and now the whole country is in mourning.

Even the Emperor of Shurima believed that Nasus had made outstanding contributions and that such a person should not die easily. Therefore, the Emperor personally pleaded with Setaka of the Ascended Group, hoping that the deeds of this hero would be weighed by the Sun Disc.

After a day and a night of waiting, Setaka's envoys determined that Nasus could receive the blessing of ascension, but he had to undergo the ritual immediately, even if he was weak and ill.

……

"It seems this is why Nasus became an Ascended One!"

When the film reached this point, the audience suddenly realized that although the Ascendants have always been selected warriors with outstanding military achievements, Nasus' contribution is not inferior to theirs!

The role of the god-warriors is often to fight on the battlefield, but Nasus obviously broke this, because the ascension ceremony held specifically for Nasus this time aims to prolong his life!

This also shows the status of Nasus in the Shurima Empire.

However, the audience who knew some of the events that happened later had a question in their minds. Since it was Nasus who underwent the ascension ceremony, how did his brother Renekton become an ascender?
