Zhou Huading looked at them with admiration in his eyes: "Can you really do it? Bring light to every place?"
Ivan looked back with a smile full of confidence in the future: "As long as we believe and as long as we persist, nothing is impossible."
When they reappeared on the ground, the beam of light connecting the Heart of Light had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the twinkling stars in the night sky, as if silently applauding their return. Residents of the small village crowded around, with both surprise and admiration in their eyes.
"Are you heroes from heaven?" the little girl asked curiously, her eyes as bright as the night sky.
Su Mo bent down and looked at the little girl: "No, we are just ordinary people who have chosen to take this road. There is a light in everyone's heart, the key is whether you are willing to let it shine."
The villagers whispered to each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, but more importantly, they expressed deep gratitude and hope for them. The news was like wings. Soon, their deeds spread throughout the country and became an inspiring story.
In the royal city, the magician stood on the high tower and watched all this through the crystal ball. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I found them, it's them... There is still a long way to go, but with them here, I hope It will last forever.”
As time goes by, Su Mo, Bai Ling, Ai Wen and their partners travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, and every time they take action, the darkness has nowhere to hide. Their stories spread among the people and became new legends, but they themselves have always maintained their original aspirations, firm and humble.
On a sunny day, they returned to the Valley of Holy Light, and were greeted with thunderous applause and cheers. The old man was still standing under the ancient tree, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"You have grown beyond my imagination, but the real test has yet to come." The old man's voice sounded particularly deep among the crowd.
"Test?" Su Mo took a step forward, with no fear in his eyes, "No matter what it is, we are ready."
The old man shook his head gently, with a deep look in his eyes: "What is more terrifying than darkness is the confusion of people's hearts. Real light not only illuminates the outside world, but also illuminates people's hearts. You must learn how to guide lost souls to find their own light. ”
The moment the words fell, the crowd fell silent, and a look of thinking appeared on everyone's face. Su Mo, Bai Ling and Ai Wen looked at each other and found the answer in each other's eyes.
"Old man, we will keep your teachings in mind. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we will persevere until the last trace of darkness is replaced by light." Ivan's voice was firm and warm.
The journey into the unknown magical abyss is about to begin, and Su Mo and his party embark on a more difficult and dangerous journey. They know well that what awaits them ahead is not only the dangers of nature, but also the test of people's hearts and desires.
"The Magic Abyss, a place with few records in ancient books, is said to contain power that can subvert the world." The traveler holds an ancient map, and the route marked on it is winding and blurry, as if it indicates the uncertainty ahead. “We must be extremely cautious.”
"No matter what is hidden, as long as we can prevent darkness from invading this world again, we cannot avoid it." Su Mo held the God of War sword tightly, his eyes burning with immortal determination. The flower of faith swayed slightly on Bai Ling's chest, as if it was also adding courage to the journey he was about to embark on.
On the way to the abyss, they first encountered a dark forest. The forest is filled with mist, and all kinds of strange-shaped plants emit weird fluorescence. Every step you take may lead to an unknown trap.
"The environment here is not good for me." Ivan frowned. As a wise man in the team, his sensitivity to nature is extraordinary. "Every life is warning us that outsiders are not welcome here."
"Yes, and I always feel that something is spying on us secretly." Zhou Huayi clenched the bow and arrow in his hand and scanned the surroundings with vigilance.
At this moment, a huge shadow beast suddenly jumped out from the darkness, its sharp roar making the leaves tremble. Its eyes flashed red, revealing anger at the intruder.
"Get ready to fight!" Su Mo gave the order, and everyone quickly got into formation. But this battle is different from the past. Every attack of the shadow beast seems to trigger a response from the surrounding environment. The trees twist and the ground surface undulates, as if the entire forest is assisting it in fighting.
"If we want to fight, we must first deal with the impact of this environment!" Zhou Huajia roared, the staff in his hand glowed brightly, and he tried to use the power of elements to balance the surrounding natural energy.
While everyone was dealing with the shadow beast, the traveler discovered a strange phenomenon: "The changes in these vegetation are not traceable, look over there!" He pointed to a subtle path composed of light spots, which seemed to be able to bypass the forest. defense mechanism.
"Follow this light, and you may be able to find a way to break through!" Bai Ling's voice was clear and firm, and her flower of faith led the team through numerous obstacles.
After passing through the forest, a vision suddenly opened up in front of them. A deep chasm appeared in front of them. It was pitch black and bottomless. It was the entrance to the magical abyss.
"Within the abyss, it is said that there are creatures that control ancient magic. They will never show mercy to intruders." The traveler's words were heavy, reminding everyone of the challenges they were about to face.
"Now that we are here, there is no turning back." Su Mo stepped forward, the God of War sword leading the light and dispersing a trace of darkness at the mouth of the abyss. "For the sake of light, we are fearless."
Just as they were about to step into the abyss, a hoarse but magnetic voice came from the abyss: "Brave travelers, your beliefs interest me. But please remember, under the abyss, there are endless tests. It’s just strength, but also determination.”
"Who is it?" Ivan looked around alertly, but could not see the speaker.
"I am the guardian of the abyss and also your first trial. Only by answering my question will you be qualified to go deep."
"Excuse me." Su Mo stood tall and accepted the challenge on behalf of the whole team.
"What is light? What is darkness? In the endless universe, where is the boundary between light and darkness?" The guardian's question is profound and thought-provoking.
"Light and darkness are not absolute existences, but reflections of the heart." Bailing answered first, "Everyone has light and darkness in their hearts. The key is which one we choose to dominate."
"Good answer." There was a hint of appreciation in the guardian's tone, "Then, tell me, when the darkness inside you rises, how will you deal with it?"
Su Mo pondered for a moment and said firmly: "I will face it squarely and suppress it with bright memories and beliefs. Because the real warrior is not one who never falls into darkness, but one who can always find a way out of it."
"Haha, wonderful!" With a burst of reverberating laughter, the undercurrent at the entrance to the abyss surged, forming a safe passage. "Your answers prove that you are qualified to go deep. Remember, the real test is yet to come. May the light guide you.”
"Thank you for your guidance, Guardian of the Abyss." Ivan bowed, and the team followed the newly formed passage and entered the embrace of the magical abyss. As they went deeper, the air around them seemed to become heavier, and every step stepped on the edge of unknown and expectation.
"The feeling here is isolated from the world, as if it is a portal to another world." Zhou Huabing whispered, the short blade in his hand flashed with a cold light, always ready to deal with emergencies.
"Be vigilant, the rules here may be very different from the world we know." The traveler reminded that the map in his hand looked more ancient and mysterious in the faint light of the abyss, and he tried to find more clues from it.
As the team moved forward cautiously, the space in front of them suddenly distorted, and a bizarre maze appeared out of thin air. The intricate path made it impossible to see the end at a glance.
"Is this... a product of space magic?" Ivan's eyes were sharp, trying to use logic to analyze this sudden test.
"It seems that we need to find the right path to move forward." Su Mo tightened his grip on the sword, his voice echoing in the maze, firm and decisive.
"How about we split up and explore various paths as quickly as possible?" Zhou Huayi suggested. He is good at stealth and speed, and is eager to try such a task.
"Agree, but remember, once you find anomalies or the correct path, inform everyone to gather together immediately." Bai Ling nodded in agreement, and at the same time, her flower of faith floated gently, as if she could sense the correct direction hidden in the chaos.
After grouping into groups, everyone encountered different challenges on their own paths - some were illusions, some were psychological trials, and some were direct confrontations of power. But no matter what they encounter, they overcome it one by one with wisdom, courage and mutual trust, and continue to get closer to the truth of the maze.
Finally, after a sudden shock, all the members gathered in a seemingly ordinary but extraordinary stone room. In the center of the stone chamber, a crystal emitting soft blue light stood quietly. Inside the crystal, there seemed to be stars moving around, hiding endless mysteries.
"This is...the Key of the Abyss?" Zhou Huading murmured in disbelief. He couldn't believe that such a treasure would appear in front of them so easily.
"No, this is not just a key, it is a trial of the abyss and an affirmation for us." Su Mo slowly walked towards the crystal. The light of the God of War sword and the crystal reflected each other, as if there was some connection between the two.
Just as he reached out to touch it, ripples appeared on the surface of the crystal, and a familiar voice sounded again: "You have shown wisdom, courage and unity. This is the final test - to face and defeat the fear in your hearts. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal burst out with dazzling light, surrounding everyone. Su Mo and the others found themselves in their own fears, which were the shadows of the past or the worries of the future, so realistic that they were suffocating.
"Su Mo, you are afraid of losing your power and being unable to protect important people." Su Mo faced the enemy that transformed in the void, which was the failure and shadow of his past.
"Brark, you are afraid that your song is no longer pure and will not be able to guide the trekkers to find the light." Chaotic melodies echoed around Bai Ling, trying to shake her belief.
"Evan, you are worried about the boundaries of knowledge and afraid that unknown puzzles are beyond your understanding." Ivan is trapped in the ever-changing maze of knowledge, and every step is specious.
They did not back down in the face of these fears. Su Mo swung his sword to cut off the illusory enemy and shouted: "My power comes from faith, not the weapon itself!"; Bai Ling opened his mouth and sang softly, the pure melody penetrated the chaos and purified the soul: "My heart is The source of light is not afraid of any filth." Ivan stared into the depths of the maze with bright eyes: "The unknown is the seed of knowledge, and my pursuit will never stop."
As they defeated their inner fears one by one, the light of the crystal gradually weakened and finally shattered. A door to the core of the abyss suddenly opened, revealing the bright light and unknown opportunities inside.
"We did it." Su Mo looked back at his friends. Everyone's faces were filled with pride and joy of defeating themselves.
"Yes, but the real adventure has just begun." Ivan walked forward, with both expectation and vigilance in his eyes.
"Together, until the last moment." Bai Ling said softly. Under her leadership, the flower of faith seemed to become more bright and dazzling.
They stepped into the gate and headed deeper into the abyss, where it was both the darkest abyss and the place where light could shine furthest. Outside the door, the hoarse and magnetic voice sounded again, but with a bit more warmth: "May the light of light always illuminate your path..."
"Let's go, friends, unknown challenges are waiting for us." Su Mo gripped the God of War Sword and was the first to step into the grand door. The team behind him followed closely, fearlessly stepping into the embrace of the abyss.
Behind the door is a strange scene. The space is twisted like flowing liquid, and light and shadow interweave to create stunning pictures. This is the core of the abyss, the fluctuations of ancient magic are almost within reach, and the air is filled with a palpitating and exciting atmosphere.
"It seems that we have entered the center of another world." Ivan observed the surroundings, trying to figure out the logic behind this fantastic scene. "Every fluctuation may hide powerful magic or traps."
"Keep the formation and move forward carefully." Su Mo reminded, and the team explored this mysterious territory slowly and orderly. Suddenly, a low humming sound came from all directions, and the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Is...what is approaching?" Zhou Huayi tensed his nerves, with an arrow on the string and ready to go.
"Get ready to fight!" Before Su Mo could finish his words, creatures made of light and shadow suddenly appeared. They had different shapes, but together they exuded power fluctuations that could not be underestimated. "Elemental guards, loyal guardians of the abyss." The traveler recognized in a low voice, his eyes locked on those creatures, "They will not let go easily, we must prove our worth." (End of Chapter)
