"What's next, captain?" Arya asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She couldn't wait to start a new chapter.
"Next," Su Mo turned his head and glanced at each member of the team one by one, with a meaningful smile on his lips, "We must not only rebuild the former glory of Guangming City, but also uncover the secret behind the Stone of Balance. Each of us will be the writer of this legendary history.”
At this time, a passing caravan member heard their conversation and stopped, his eyes full of surprise and admiration: "You... are you the legendary heroes who returned from the secret realm? I heard that you have the power to protect the world The power is incredible!”
Su Mo nodded slightly, with a humble attitude but revealing unquestionable determination: "Each of us is using our own way to contribute to the future of this world. The same goes for you, every transaction you make, every information exchange Delivery is an integral part of this world.”
The caravan members were shocked by these words and praised them repeatedly: "You are really amazing! I am willing to be your strongest support. If you need any supplies or information, just tell me!"
"Thank you very much, friend." Su Mo replied, then turned to the team, "We must first ensure the safety of Guangming City and guard against any potential threats. Sebastian, your power of thunder and lightning is crucial to intelligence collection. Please be responsible for monitoring changes inside and outside the city.”
Sebastian nodded, thunder and lightning leaping in his palms, demonstrating his determination: "Understand, we will never let any crisis come close to our home."
"Aliya, you have the deepest understanding of Guangming City. It is up to you to coordinate the allocation of resources in the city and ensure that our return is not only for celebration, but also for the long-term development of Guangming City." Su Mo continued to assign tasks.
Arya puffed out her chest and tightened her abdomen, with a sense of mission shining in her eyes: "I will definitely live up to my trust, and the City of Light will be reborn because of us."
"Leah, your unicorn is a natural symbol of peace. I hope you can use it to convey our peaceful will. At the same time, explore how the Stone of Balance coexists with nature and further deepen our understanding of balance." Su Mo After saying that, Leah nodded, with a longing for the future in her eyes.
Just as they were immersed in the upcoming plan, a hurried voice broke their thoughts: "Wait a minute, there is urgent news! Unknown energy fluctuations were found outside the city, and it seems that unknown forces are approaching!"
Hearing this, the team immediately became nervous, and Su Mo quickly issued an order: "Be prepared to fight, but don't start the fight unless it is absolutely necessary. We want to prove that real power is used to protect rather than conquer."
The group of people took action immediately, nervously but without losing order, and headed outside Guangming City. Passers-by looked sideways, some were surprised, some admired, and most were inspired, and talked a lot.
"Look, those are the guardians of the City of Light! They always appear on the front line, protecting us."
"Yes, with such heroes, what else can we not overcome?"
As the team disappeared from the end of the field of vision, the chatter in the city was still endless. The sky of Guangming City seems to become brighter because of the presence of these warriors.
At this moment, Su Mo and the team are facing the upcoming challenges. They know that every victory is just the beginning of the next mission, and on this road full of unknowns and challenges, they will write their own legend together.
"We are ready. No matter who wants to shake our Guangming City, they must pass our level first." Su Mo's words aroused resonance in the team. Their eyes showed endless love for each other. Trust and fearlessness for the future.
"The captain is right, the City of Light is protected by us!" Arya responded, her weapon reflecting a firm light in the sunlight, inspiring everyone around her.
"Yes, no matter who it is, let us prove the power of light with actions." Sebastian raised his arms and shouted, and the thunder eagle hovered above his head, as if in response to his oath.
The team is accelerating, and every step becomes more determined and powerful. When they approached the source of the energy fluctuations, they discovered an area shrouded in a mysterious halo. In the center of the halo, several figures could be vaguely seen trying some ritual.
"Stop!" Su Mo shouted loudly, the sound echoed around and made the leaves rustle. The figures trembled suddenly and turned around, their eyes full of surprise and wariness.
"Who are you? How dare you disturb our ceremony!" One of the figures asked angrily. He was wrapped in an ominous black mist. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
"We are the guardians of the City of Light." Leia responded gently but firmly, "And you, it seems, do not belong here."
Seeing this, passers-by formed a circle from a distance and talked a lot, their eyes full of curiosity and vigilance.
"Look, those are the guardians, fighting against outsiders!"
"Yeah, these people seem to have bad intentions, there must be some conspiracy."
Suddenly, one of the seemingly leaders of the mysterious people sneered: "Guardians? We are here to find the true power of the Stone of Balance. Since you call yourself the guardians, let us see if you are qualified." Guard this power.”
After saying that, the magic power fluctuations in the air suddenly intensified, and the confrontation between the two sides seemed to solidify at this moment. Su Mo took a deep breath. He knew that a tough battle was coming, but it was their unshirkable responsibility to protect the City of Light and the Stone of Balance.
"We don't seek meaningless battles, but if you want to threaten our homeland, don't blame our men for being ruthless." Su Mo's words were full of determination.
At this time, a young girl squeezed out from the crowd, her voice was trembling, but extremely clear: "Guardians, please protect us, nothing will happen to Guangming City!"
Su Mo looked at the girl, a softness flashed in his eyes, and then turned to the enemy: "Did you hear that? Everyone in Guangming City is the reason for us to protect them at all costs."
As the tension between the two sides escalates, a battle for protection and balance is about to begin. At the climax of the confrontation between the two armies, the sky suddenly darkened, and a low and majestic voice sounded, echoing in everyone's ears:
"That's enough. Under balance, meaningless fighting will only destroy the balance. I am the guardian spirit of the Stone of Balance, and I already understand the intentions of both of you."
Everyone was stunned, even the mysterious people looked shocked. The guardian spirit of the Stone of Balance slowly appeared, and its appearance seemed to make everything stand still.
"The power of the Stone of Balance should not be a tool for selfish desires, but should serve the harmonious coexistence of the world. Whether you are pursuing power or protecting your home, you need to keep this in mind."
Su Mo and his group looked at each other with the mysterious people, and they all seemed to be thinking about the guardian spirit's words. After a moment, the leading mysterious man lowered his head: "You are right, we have gone too far."
As the mysterious man retreated, the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, and gentle applause came from passers-by. Then, more applause gathered into a sea, which was a thank you to the guardians and a cheer for peace.
Su Mo looked at the mysterious crowd fading away in the distance, turned to his friends and said: "This is just the beginning. There are many things waiting for us to understand and protect the true power of the Stone of Balance."
"Yes, Captain." Sebastian, Alya and Leia responded, their eyes filled with new determination.
"Then, let us join hands to continue to explore and protect this road of light." Su Mo's words were full of power and hope. Just as the team was preparing to return to Guangming City and continue their journey of reconstruction and exploration, a young scholar The handsome man hurried through the crowd, holding an ancient book tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Please, please wait, heroes!" He shouted breathlessly, and everyone stopped and looked at him curiously.
"Are you...?" Su Mo asked, his voice gentle and respectful to everyone who might bring new clues.
"I am a historian from Guangming Academy, Jack. I just found some clues about the Stone of Balance in ancient documents, which may be helpful to your exploration." Jack said while showing the book in his hand and turning a few pages. , the finger stopped on a densely packed rune and annotation.
"According to this ancient book, the secret hidden behind the Stone of Balance is not only related to the balance of nature, but also involves an ancient prophecy - 'When the boundaries between light and darkness are blurred, the Son of Balance will lead the world to a new era.'" Jack's voice was slightly trembling with excitement.
"The prophesied Son of Balance, who will be...?" Arya couldn't help but ask, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Jack shook his head and his expression became serious: "The book did not explain it directly, it only mentioned a series of trials and signs. It is said that people who pass these trials can master the power of balance and maintain world harmony."

The discussion among the crowd became more lively, and the eyes of passers-by were filled with wonder and expectation.
"Trial? It sounds like a legendary adventure!" A young voice sounded in the crowd, causing everyone around to nod in agreement.
Su Mo thought for a moment, then looked at the team, "No matter what the trial is, if we can really uncover the secret of the Stone of Balance and lead the world to peace, this is what we are pursuing. Jack, thank you for the information. We Would love to give it a try.”
"I am willing to assist you. My knowledge may be useful during the journey." Jack expressed his stance quickly, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
Just as the team was preparing to accept Jack and embark on a new journey together, a distant and mysterious voice echoed in the air again: "Remember, the road to trial is full of thorns, and only those with pure hearts and perseverance can reach the end. .”
This time, even passers-by heard the whispers of the guardian spirit of the Stone of Balance. Their awe was beyond words, and the City of Light seemed to be shrouded in a sacred atmosphere.
"We are ready. No matter what kind of trials lie ahead, as long as it is for the City of Light and the world, we will move forward bravely." Su Mo's words were firm and warm, echoing in the hearts of every team member and onlooker.
"Captain, we believe in you and ourselves." Arya, Leah and Sebastian responded in unison, and their voices converged into an unstoppable force, inspiring everyone present.
With this firm belief and hope, the team took steps towards new challenges. Passers-by automatically made way for them and watched them leave, with envy and blessings in their eyes.
"May the light of balance illuminate your path, heroes!" An old man's voice rang out from the crowd. With these words, the entire Guangming City seemed to be shaken, as if even heaven and earth were cheering for them.
"The road to balance will not be smooth, but we have faith and are not afraid of wind and rain." Su Mo said as he nodded to the old man in thanks, feeling an unprecedented sense of mission in his heart. The team marched slowly, with every step following the beat of hope. They were burdened not only with their own destiny, but also with the future of the entire City of Light and even the world.
With the joining of Jack, their journey no longer relies solely on force and courage, but the light of wisdom also begins to shine on the road ahead. During breaks, Jack continued to read ancient books and shared new discoveries about the Stone of Balance with everyone. Every interpretation seemed to open a door to the unknown world, giving the team a deeper understanding of the trials they were about to face. understand.
"It is said that the first test lies in understanding, understanding what true balance is." Jack pointed to an obscure passage in the book, his eyes twinkling. "Not only the balance of light and dark, but also the peace of mind and the wisdom of symbiosis with nature."
Su Mo pondered for a moment and looked at the teammates around him: "Although we are warriors, our hearts also need to be cultivated. Let the light in our hearts lead us forward, not pure swords."
Arya stroked the hilt of the sword lightly, her eyes a little more profound: "I understand, power without spiritual guidance is just a barbaric act. We must communicate heart to heart and let the light penetrate into every corner."
"Well said, Arya." Sebastian agreed. The thunder eagle whistled softly on his shoulder, as if he could feel the master's determination. "Then, from today on, we are not only warriors, but also balance Seeker of the Way.”
As the journey progresses, they encounter various challenges, including natural tests such as storms and fog, as well as inner struggles and external temptations. But whenever difficulties arise, there are always passers-by who lend a helping hand, provide help, or provide spiritual support. They are infected by the courage of the guardians and voluntarily become part of this journey of guardianship.
"Look, it's the heroes of Guangming City! They are fighting for our future again!" A farmer stood on the ridge of the field and said to his wife beside him, his eyes full of admiration.
