Chapter 905 Climbing
During the climb, they encountered unprecedented bad weather, strong winds mixed with blizzards, almost burying them together with their hopes. However, at this time, there is always a warm power coming from the key of time and space in their hands. It is the encouragement and support from the ancient guardian, allowing them to find a reason to persevere on the edge of despair.
“Look! There is light there!” Li Wenjing pointed to a cave half-covered by wind and snow in front of her, with a spark of hope in her eyes.
They arrived at the entrance of the cave with difficulty, and a strange wave of energy surged out of the cave, warm and powerful, as if the laws of nature were gently distorted here. In the cave, a tall old man wearing ancient armor sat quietly in front of a piece of luminous crystal. His eyes were closed and his face was peaceful, as if he had been waiting here for a thousand years.
"Welcome, brave men." The old man did not open his eyes, but his voice echoed in the cave, deep and majestic, "I am the last guardian, Arthur. Your arrival is an arrangement of fate, It is also the hope of the world.”
"Lord Guardian, we... what should we do to save this world?" Lin Feng took a step forward and asked respectfully and urgently.
Arthur slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea. He said softly: "The real power does not come from external things, but from the heart. Only understanding and trust Only by making sacrifices can we unlock the ultimate power of the Key of Time and Space and balance the fate of this world."
"Sacrifice...you mean..." Zhao Lei frowned, with uneasiness in his tone.
"Yes," Arthurs nodded, "When each generation of guardians transfers power, one person must voluntarily become a 'linker' and bind his soul to the key of time and space. Become an eternal guardian until the next successor is found. This sacrifice is to prevent power from falling into the hands of evil people, and it is also a necessary price to maintain the balance of the world."
The air around them seems to be solidified, and everyone's feelings are gone. Breathing became heavy. This sacrifice means eternal loneliness, isolation from the world, only to protect others.
"I do." Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Chen Sui spoke calmly, his eyes clear and determined, "I am willing to become a linker, protect our world, and protect each of you."
" Chen Sui, you..." Lin Feng looked at him in disbelief, with mixed feelings in his heart.
“Don’t forget, we are a team,” Chen Sui smiled slightly and looked at each of his teammates, “My sacrifice is to allow you to freely create a better future.”
At the moment Chen Sui made his decision, the Key of Time and Space bloomed with unprecedented brilliance in his hands. In the light, he seemed to be connected to everything, and a quiet and powerful power flowed through him. He could not help but He is no longer that young boy, but the guardian of this world.
"So, what should we do next?" Zhou Lili clenched her fists, determined to support Chen Sui with action.
"We must return to the center of the city. It is the place where ancient civilization and modernity meet, and it is also the key to awakening the power of all guardians." Arthur stood up, and the ancient armor emits a low resonance, "Only gathering Only the will of all the guardians can fight against the coming darkness."
"Let's go, time waits for no one." Zhao Lei patted Chen Sui on the shoulder, with endless gratitude in their eyes. and determination.
The team set off again, this time, their steps were more determined, and every step was filled with the light of hope. On the way, people heard about their deeds and walked out of their homes one after another to send them away with their most sincere blessings and eyes.
"Did you hear it? Those are the footsteps of heroes, a prelude to the victory of light over darkness!" An old man on the street said excitedly to the people around him, his eyes full of pride and expectation.
The team gradually disappeared from people's sight, and every footprint they left seemed to tell a story about courage, sacrifice and love, inspiring future generations.
On the way back to the city, their hearts were filled with unprecedented determination. However, what awaits them is not only a decisive battle, but also unknown challenges and emotional entanglements. But they know that as long as they have faith, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
In the wind and snow, the wise man looked at their backs and whispered the ancient language. It was a blessing to the heroes and a hope for the future.
"Until the last moment, may the light guide your path."
In the center of the city, the ancient square was dyed golden by the sunset, and crowds gathered, anxiously waiting for the legendary team. The wise man stood in the center of the crowd, his profound gaze penetrating the clouds, as if he had foreseen the coming magnificent scene.
"They are back!" A child shouted, pointing his finger to the sky, and saw five figures breaking through the clouds and mist, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, landing steadily in the center of the square. People's exclamations came one after another, and their eyes were full of awe and expectation.
"Chen Sui, how do you feel?" Li Wenjing asked worriedly. Ever since Chen Sui became a linker, they could all feel the distant yet close aura exuding from him.
Chen Sui smiled and shook his head, "I am fine, stronger than ever. Now, let us complete the last rituals."
Arthur walked slowly towards an ancient stone tablet , which is covered with runes and shines with a mysterious luster in the sunset. "This is where we gather the power of all the guardians to awaken the sleeping ancient divine power and stabilize the foundation of the world."
"We are ready." Lin Feng, Zhou Lili, Zhao Lei and Li Wenjing responded in unison, Their hands were clasped tightly around the stone monument. Chen Sui stood at the forefront, and the Key of Space and Time shone brightly in his hand, echoing with the runes on the stone tablet, releasing a dazzling light that illuminated the entire square.
"What happened? Is it a miracle?" Among the onlookers, a woman held her child and stared at the wonder in front of her in stunned silence.
"Look, that's..." A young man pointed upward in surprise, and saw a gap in the sky, and light poured down from it, turning into wisps of soft light and slowly pouring into the stone tablet.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and an ancient voice sounded in everyone's ears. It was the whisper of the guardian, passing through thousands of years, conveying the final guidance and power.
"Successful!" Zhou Lili shouted excitedly, and saw a beam of light rising into the sky from the stone tablet, as if connecting heaven and earth, bringing an unprecedented harmony and tranquility.
"But the darkness will not give up so easily." The wise man's voice penetrated the joy, his eyes were solemn, "The real battle has just begun now."
"No matter the face Whatever we face, we will face it together." Lin Feng looked at his partners, with unyielding flames burning in everyone's eyes.
"That's right," Chen Sui's voice, although calm, revealed unquestionable firmness, "because we are the guardians of the world." Just as the crowd was immersed in the joy of victory, an ominous cloud quietly approached, covering up what had just been seen. In the still bright sky, a gust of cold wind blew through, making people shiver.
"It seems that the enemy can't wait any longer." Zhao Lei clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"Then we will give them the response they deserve." Li Wenjing's words contained a firmness that cannot be underestimated.
The wise man stepped forward and patted Chen Sui's shoulder gently, "Be prepared, the real test is about to come. Remember, even in the darkest moments, you must believe that the light will eventually come. Arrival.”
"We understand." Lin Feng replied on behalf of everyone. They formed a circle and put their hands on each other's shoulders, forming an impenetrable line of defense.
"No matter how dangerous the future is," Chen Sui's voice echoed in the square, his eyes passed through the clouds, as if he had seen the battle in the distance, "as long as we are connected, there is nothing we can't do Overcome."
"Look over there, are they those legendary warriors?" In the crowd, an old man pointed at the five people who were gradually gathering, his voice full of excitement and awe.
"It's true! I heard that they have the power to change the world." The young man next to him answered, his eyes shining with yearning.
Chen Sui and his party walked into the crowd, and every step seemed to step on people's heartstrings, arousing waves of exclamation and encouraging whispers. Their figures have become the most dazzling light in the city, bringing hope to people in despair.
"Chen Sui, can you really defeat that terrible enemy?" A little girl mustered up her courage and squeezed out of the crowd, looking up at Chen Sui with both curiosity and endless trust in her eyes.
Chen Sui knelt down, touched the little girl's head tenderly, and said with a smile: "Each of us has a sword in our hearts, which is the love for our homeland and the hope for the future. As long as this sword As long as the sword does not fall, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated."
The little girl nodded in understanding, with an innocent smile on her face. The audience around her was also infected by this simple and pure confidence. Applause and cheers came one after another.
Just when the atmosphere was rising, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, and a guard ran over in a panic, panting and reporting: "Report...report! A large number of abnormalities occurred outside the city... The beast is approaching quickly!”
The crowd suddenly fell into panic, but the five warriors quickly exchanged a look that showed trust and determination without words.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, we will take care of everything." Zhao Lei stood up with his chest raised, his voice firm and powerful, giving everyone a sense of peace of mind.
"Chen Sui, what should we do?" Zhou Lili looked at Chen Sui. Although there was tension in her eyes, there was more expectation and determination.
"Act according to the plan." Chen Sui said softly. He closed his eyes and felt the deep connection between the key of time and space and his soul. A brand new power awakened in his body, and he seemed to be able to see through it. Every detail, every breath.
"Lin Feng, take half of your manpower to evacuate the people and ensure their safety. Zhao Lei, you and I fight head-on and buy time. Li Wenjing and Zhou Lili, you are responsible for the flanks and support us at any time." Chen Sui Give instructions calmly, with every word revealing unquestionable leadership.
"Understood!" The four people responded in unison, and then dispersed to perform their respective tasks, while Chen Sui and Zhao Lei walked straight towards the city gate, their backs stretched long under the sunset. Seemingly lonely but heroic.
Outside the city gate, the earth is trembling, and the black hordes of alien beasts are coming like a tide. Their eyes are burning with greed and destructive desire, which makes people shudder. However, when Chen Sui and Zhao Lei stood on the city wall, facing the terrifying torrent, their momentum did not weaken at all.
"Chen Sui, can we really win?" Zhao Lei's voice was small but full of power.
Chen Sui raised his head and looked at the approaching night, with a faint smile on his lips, "As long as there is light in your heart, the darkness will eventually be dispelled."
