Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 942: Rubbing
"Yes, it's already wonderful enough that we have come this far together." Lin Xier smiled with tears in her eyes. She looked into the distance, as if she could see through the fog of time and see the glory of the future.

The soldier raised his axe and vowed: "I will stand by your side until the last moment. This is our common battle."

Just as they were about to take the next step, a warm light enveloped the entire space, and the familiar yet mysterious voice sounded again: "Remember, true victory is not only about conquering external difficulties, but also about inner sublimation. You have proven your worth, and what's next is to surpass yourself and embrace a wider world."

The voice faded away, leaving behind deep thoughts and expectations. The four looked at each other and smiled. At that moment, without words, they had reached a consensus in their hearts.

"Let's go, friends, towards the unknown and towards ourselves." As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the four of them resolutely stepped into the shining door. The scene behind them gradually blurred, and in front of them was the vastness and depth of the unknown.

Stepping into this mysterious space, the surrounding scene changes rapidly, as if traveling through the edges of countless worlds, and every step is stepping on the cracks of time. The light of the Void Staff turns into a trail of light, leading them through this endless maze.

"Look over there!" Lin Xier suddenly pointed to the distance. A brilliant star field seemed to be very close, with stars dotted everywhere, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. "Is it the power of the stars? It feels like... something is calling us."

Just as they were puzzled, a rush of wind passed by their ears, and a mysterious traveler in a cloak appeared out of thin air. There seemed to be stars hidden in his eyes, and his tone was filled with indescribable majesty: "Travelers, you have touched the secret of the universe. The next path will be determined by your own choices."

"Choice?" the female mage asked, her eyes full of curiosity, wanting to seize every opportunity to learn.

"Yes, choice." The mysterious traveler smiled and spread his arms. Pictures gathered in his hands, showing different futures - either peace and prosperity, or war and destruction. "The true power of the Void Staff is not conquest, but balance and choice. Choose the right path, and you can change everything."

The soldier stepped forward and said firmly: "We are here for this world, to protect peace and justice. No matter what choice lies ahead, we will move forward."

The mysterious traveler nodded, his figure gradually faded, leaving behind a few ethereal words: "Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. The choice is yours, and the future is also yours."

As he disappeared, the surrounding scene changed again, and this time, they appeared in a bustling market. This was a meeting point of multiple cultures, with all kinds of rare animals and exotic races passing through, and everyone was busy, yet living in harmony.

"Have we...traveled to another world?" Lin Xier looked around in surprise, as conversations broke out among the crowd.

"Look, are those brave warriors going to fight against the dark forces?" A short member of the race pointed at them, his eyes full of admiration.

"It's the Staff of the Void! The legendary holy object! It will definitely bring peace!" An elf with transparent wings flew in the air and shouted excitedly.

"May they have a safe journey. We are all praying for them." An old man closed his eyes and blessed. The people around him responded one after another. A pious atmosphere spread in the market.

Facing everyone's expectations, the four smiled at each other. This sense of responsibility made their hearts more closely connected. Lin Feng raised the Void Staff and saluted the surroundings: "We will, for every living being who hopes for peace, we will find the answer and protect the harmony of this universe."

Just as they were about to leave the market and continue on their way, a childish voice came from the crowd: "Excuse me, what do you need to do to become a great warrior?"

They turned around and saw a little boy looking up at them, his eyes full of infinite longing. Lin Xier squatted down and answered gently: "Child, to be a warrior, it is not just about fighting. More importantly, you need to have the courage to face your fears, the love to protect others, and the perseverance to never give up."

The little boy nodded, not quite understanding, with stars twinkling in his eyes. This scene moved the passers-by around, and they all started talking about it. Some sighed, some envied, and most of them placed infinite expectations on the future journey of the four people.

"So, warriors, what kind of challenges await you on the road ahead?" A bystander murmured to himself. Although his voice was small, it seemed to echo in everyone's ears.

“Who knows? But as long as you are here, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome.” Lin Feng said with a smile, his words revealing his trust in his partners and also hinting at the unknown challenges and adventures ahead.

The female wizard gently touched the little boy's head and encouraged him: "Remember, every brave heart was once a child looking up at the stars. Keep your curiosity and innocence, the future belongs to those who dare to dream."

The little boy's face flushed with excitement, and he nodded vigorously, as if he had seen himself growing into a warrior in his eyes.

Just as the four were about to set off again, a ragged old man staggered over, holding a worn book in his trembling hands, with a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes. "The Book of Prophecy mentions you. The four of you will travel across time and space, unlock the deepest secrets of the universe, and bring balance to the world. However, the journey is difficult, so proceed with caution."

Lin Feng took the book. The cover was simple and ancient, as if it carried the weight of time. "We will be careful, old man. Excuse me, do you have any special instructions for us?"

The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face blossomed like a flower: "The answer is in the book, you just need to read it carefully. Remember, the biggest enemy is often your own inner demon, not the monsters in the outside world."

As the old man left, the four of them sat in a circle and began to carefully study this mysterious book of prophecy. Every time they turned a page, the surrounding scenery seemed to change, as if they were experiencing the history and future in the book. Lin Xier suddenly stopped, touched a piece of text with her fingertips, and her expression became extremely serious: "It says here that we must find the 'Sand of Time' to unlock the ultimate power of the Void Staff."

The warrior frowned: "Sand of Time? It doesn't sound like something that can be easily found." The female wizard pondered for a moment and said: "Legend has it that the Sand of Time is located in the deepest part of the Time Ruins. It is a forgotten dimension where the flow of time is different from that of the outside world and is extremely dangerous."

"So what? Haven't we overcome many difficulties?" Lin Feng looked at his companions with a firm gaze, "As long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

They set out on their journey again, and the news of their trip to the Ruins of Time spread like wildfire. People along the way were all talking about it, with both amazement and worry.

"Can they really find the Sands of Time? That is something that even gods cannot touch!" A traveler discussed loudly in the tavern.

"Lin Feng and his friends are legends. I believe they can create miracles." The tavern owner interrupted confidently while wiping his wine glass.

Passing through layers of fog, the four of them came to the entrance of the Time Ruins. It was a desolate place with huge hourglasses scattered everywhere, and time seemed to stand still. Just as they were about to explore further, an old voice sounded in their ears: "Entering this place is a gamble on your own destiny. Are you sure you want to continue?"

The sound seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to come from the depths of their hearts. Lin Feng looked around, and saw an image of an old man in a robe slowly condensing in the void, with a scepter in his hand emitting a faint light.

"We have no way out. For the peace of all the world, we must give it a try." Lin Feng's answer was firm and unquestionable.

The old man nodded, turned into a stream of light and disappeared, leaving behind a sentence that echoed in the air: "Then prove your worth. Remember, a true hero is one who can maintain hope and courage in the face of an unknown future."

As they stepped into the core area of ​​the time ruins, the speed of time around them began to change unpredictably, sometimes fast forward, sometimes backward, making people feel both wonderful and chaotic. After a series of difficult challenges, they finally found the bottle of time sand that seemed ordinary but exuded a faint silver glow on a floating boulder.

Just as Lin Feng reached out to touch the sand bottle, the entire space shook violently, and a figure suddenly appeared, blocking his way. This was a mysterious warrior wearing gorgeous armor and holding a shining sword. His eyes were full of hostility and concern: "I am the guardian of time, and I can't let you get the sand of time so easily. Tell me, are you ready to take on the responsibilities that come with it?"

Lin Feng straightened his back, and the Void Staff emitted a dazzling light: "We come for peace and for the future of the world. If this is a necessary trial, then let us prove ourselves."

The Time Guardian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then let me see if you are qualified. But please remember that every attempt to change time will cause ripples, and the consequences are unpredictable."

As a fierce duel came to an end, the Guardian of Time admitted defeat and smiled approvingly: "Your strength and faith are beyond my imagination. The sands of time now belong to you. But please use them with caution for the balance of the universe."

The four of them carefully collected the sand of time and were about to leave the ruins of time when Lin Xier suddenly stopped, looked back at the ever-changing flow of time, and murmured, "Is the future really something we can foresee?"

The soldier stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "No matter what the future holds, as long as we are with you, there is nothing to fear."

The female mage looked up into the distance, her eyes flickering with a desire for the unknown: "Yes, no matter what the road ahead holds, exploration and growth, aren't these the meanings of our adventures?" +
Just as they were about to leave, a breeze blew by, carrying a distant yet familiar voice: "Remember, the real exploration lies not in the destination, but in every step along the way."

The four of them turned around suddenly, but they only saw the hustle and bustle of the market, and the sound disappeared like a phantom. Lin Xier had a smile on her face: "It seems that even the universe itself is cheering for us."

They set out on their journey again, and every place they passed attracted waves of amazement and discussion. In a magnificent city, several children were chasing and playing, and one of them suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and shouted: "Mom, look! Are those the heroes who went to find the sands of time? I want to be like them!"

"Yes, little one, as long as you have a dream in your heart and the courage to pursue it, one day you will be able to travel through the sea of ​​stars." The child's mother responded with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

These conversations were like a warm current, silently inspiring the four people. When they passed through a dark forest, an old wise man who lived in seclusion stopped them. He squinted his eyes, as if examining something: "It has been a long time since I have seen travelers like you with bright hearts. However, the road ahead is full of difficulties, so remember not to let the fire in your heart go out."

"Thank you for your reminder. We will proceed with caution." Lin Feng replied respectfully, and the old wise man nodded gently, turned into a wisp of green smoke and merged into the shadow of the tree, leaving behind a word floating in the wind: "Remember, the greatest treasures are often hidden in the most dangerous places."

As they explore deeper, challenges arise one after another, but every time they work together to overcome difficulties, not only does it deepen the bond between them, but it also allows the creatures around them to continue singing their story.

Finally, the four of them stood in front of the door leading to the final test. It was a strange space where chaos and order intertwined. The light of the Void Staff was particularly dazzling here. Lin Feng took a deep breath and turned to his companions: "We are about to face the final challenge. No matter what the result is, I am grateful for your company."

"Don't be silly, Lin Feng," the female mage smiled, with an unprecedented determination in her eyes, "We chose this path from the beginning. No matter what the outcome is, we must go to the end together."

The warrior clenched the axe in his hand, while Lin Xier held the Staff of Void tightly. The four of them looked at each other. There was no need to say more, everything was self-explanatory.

Just as they were about to push open the door, a clear childish voice suddenly rang out in the air. It was the little boy they had met before. He had caught up with them at some point, his eyes sparkling with a light brighter than the stars: "Can I go with you? I also want to do something for this world."

Lin Feng squatted down and gently touched his head: "Child, everyone has his own battles. Your courage and kindness are the most precious wealth in this world. You are here, praying for peace in your own way, which is also the greatest support for us."
