Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 979 Guidance
Following the guidance of the bell, the group passed through ruins and mysteries and finally arrived in front of a magnificent but dilapidated bell tower. On the bell tower, the ancient giant bell was still vibrating slightly, as if the roar just now had not completely subsided.

"Is this the end?" Leo looked around, his tone filled with both nervousness and anticipation.

At this moment, a faint light rose from the center of the bell tower and slowly condensed into a transparent figure. It was a warrior wearing ancient armor, with a blurred face, but exuding an immortal aura.

"Welcome to the Lost City, messengers of light." The light and shadow said in a tone that transcended time, "I am the last guardian of this city, waiting for you as predicted."

"Guardian?" Lin Feng took a step forward, his eyes burning. "We are looking for the ultimate weapon to fight against darkness. Can you tell us where it is?"

"The ultimate weapon..." Guangying pondered for a moment, then pointed to the bottom of the clock tower. "It is hidden deep underground, beating with the heart of this city. But to obtain it, you must pass the test and prove that you are worthy of this power."

Following the guidance of the guardian, everyone discovered a hidden entrance under the bell tower, leading to the depths of the unknown. Looking at each other, in addition to determination, their eyes also showed awe of the unknown.

"No matter what the test is, we will face it together." Leah's words were like a shot in the arm, boosting the team's morale.

"Then let us begin, for light, for this world." Lin Feng took the first step firmly and walked into the door to the unknown. The others followed closely behind him, and every step was filled with desire for victory and courage to face the unknown.

As they went deeper underground, the light gradually dimmed, and only an inexplicable force guided them forward. The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious flavor. It was so quiet that only the breathing and footsteps of each other could be heard, but in such silence, an indescribable force seemed to be whispering, telling of the glory of the past and the hope of the future.

"This was once a palace of knowledge and magic." Kevin explained softly, his fingers brushing lightly across the cold stone wall, as if he could read the silent history. "Every brick and tile records the rise and fall of civilization."

"Now, it has become our trial ground." Leo continued, his eyes flashing with the desire to fight, "No matter what kind of trial is hidden, we must break through it."

As they were talking, a faint light suddenly appeared at the end of the passage. It was a soft and non-dazzling light, like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding the direction of the lost travelers. The team quickened their pace until they stood at the edge of an open space, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up.

"This is..." Alvin's exclamation was interrupted by the scene before him. They came to a huge underground hall with a dazzling crystal ball suspended in the center, surrounded by complex runes and mechanical structures. They seemed to vibrate slowly and rhythmically, emitting a faint light and illuminating the entire space.

“The ultimate weapon?” Jason murmured in disbelief. He looked around and found that the walls were carved with stories of successive guardians and the weapons of light they protected. Each story was full of sacrifice and glory.

"It's more than just a weapon." The voice of the Guardian of Light and Shadow sounded again, echoing in this empty space, "It is the heart of light, and has the power to balance the yin and yang of the world. But only those with pure hearts and strong wills can control its power, otherwise it will only bring disaster."

"How do we prove that we are qualified?" Lin Feng took a step forward, his voice full of determination and his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through all obstacles.

The Guardian of Light and Shadow smiled slightly, and his figure turned into dots of light and merged into the air, leaving only one sentence echoing: "The answer lies in your heart and on the road you have walked together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook and the surrounding stone walls began to change, forming four independent trial fields. Above the entrance of each trial field appeared the words "Courage", "Wisdom", "Mercy" and "Sacrifice".

"It seems that we each have trials to face." Leo looked at his companions, his eyes flashing with confidence in them, "No matter what the result is, we are no longer alone."

"Then let's split up and complete the trial on our own." Leah encouraged everyone. Although they were about to face the unknown, her eyes were extremely firm.

The team disbanded, and everyone entered their own trial field. In the following time, everything in the outside world seemed to be still, and only the challenges and inner growth in the trial field continued.

In the Trial of Courage, Lin Feng faces his inner fear and weakness, and he has to find the courage to persevere in the endless battle; in the Trial of Wisdom, Kevin is placed in an intricate information maze and needs to solve one puzzle after another to demonstrate the power of knowledge; the Trial of Mercy makes Alvin experience life and death again and again, teaching him to still care and help others in despair; as for the Trial of Sacrifice, Jason faces choices, and every decision means giving up. He must learn to give up his personal desires for the greater good.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment. When they gathered again, everyone had undergone a complete transformation, their eyes were deeper, and they exuded a different kind of light.

"We are ready." The four of them looked at each other. There was no need to say anything. Everything was self-explanatory.

They walked towards the suspended crystal ball together, and the light suddenly became brighter, as if recognizing their growth and efforts. When their hands touched the crystal ball at the same time, a warm and powerful force surged into their bodies. It was the blessing of the heart of light and the new hope to fight against darkness.

"This is our power, the power of light." Lin Feng's voice echoed in the hall with unshakable conviction.

"But it's not time to celebrate yet." Leo looked towards the exit with determination in his eyes. "The real battle has just begun."

"Let's go and let our light shine to every corner of the world." Leah said softly, her smile filled with longing for the future.

"Yes, the mission we shoulder is heavier than ever before." Kevin added, pushing up his glasses, with wisdom shining in his eyes, "But with you by my side, I am fearless."

Just as they were about to step out of the hall, an old and majestic voice echoed in the empty space, as if it had traveled through the long river of time: "Remember, messenger of light, darkness never sleeps, it is always looking for opportunities to strike back. Although your power is strong, unity and faith are your sharpest swords."

The four of them turned around abruptly, only to find that there was no one else around. The voice seemed to come from inside the crystal ball, or it might have been a faint whisper in the wind.

“Who is it?” Jason asked vigilantly, his sword half-drawn, ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.

"Don't panic, that's the voice of the previous guardian's soul. They gave us their final teachings in this way." The shadow of the light and shadow guardian appeared in front of them again, this time clearer, with traces of time on his face, but also full of kindness, "Remember, light is not invincible. Only by understanding and accepting the existence of darkness can we truly achieve world harmony." "We understand." Lin Feng answered on behalf of everyone. His words revealed a maturity and steadiness after being tested. "We will move forward cautiously and use light to dispel the darkness in every corner."

"Very good." The light and shadow guardian nodded, then turned into light and dissipated, leaving behind only a meaningful smile and one sentence: "On the road ahead, may every step you take be solid and bright."

Walking out of the hall, the world outside is completely different from when we entered. In the sky, the dark clouds that originally blocked the sunlight are gradually dispersing, and a ray of dawn penetrates the clouds, heralding the arrival of a new era. The ruins around the team seem to have regained vitality, and the breeze brings a long-lost freshness.

When travelers passing by saw them, their faces were filled with surprise and awe: "Look, those are the messengers of light! They really have found a way to fight the darkness!"

"Yes, it is said that they can lead us to the light." Another person replied, with the fire of hope ignited in his eyes.

"I really want to be a hero like that one day." A child looked up at them, his eyes sparkling with longing for the future.

After hearing these words, Lin Feng turned to his companions and said with a smile: "It seems that a new chapter of our story has begun."

"Besides, this is just the beginning." Leo raised his lips, with a stronger fighting spirit in his eyes than before, "The real legend is waiting for us to write."

"Then it's time for us to set off." Leah looked into the distance, where the first ray of sunshine was shining on the earth, warm and full of hope.

"Towards the light and the unknown." Kevin said finally, his eyes were deep, as if he had foreseen countless possible futures.

They walked side by side, each step was taken with determination and faith. On this road to light, more challenges and greater adventures were waiting for them. The comments and expectations of passers-by turned into an eternal flame in their hearts, lighting the way forward.

"As long as there is light in our hearts, darkness will eventually retreat." Lin Feng's words, along with their firm steps, became a vow echoing in the wind, heralding the beginning of a glorious battle.

"Look, even that kid dreams of becoming a warrior like them." An old man sighed, his eyes filled with both nostalgia and expectation, "Once upon a time, I also dreamed of changing the world."

"You should always have dreams. What if they come true by accident?" the young man next to him joked. His tone was relaxed, but he couldn't hide his admiration for the Messenger of Light.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence around them, and a hurried messenger walked through the crowd and headed straight for Lin Feng and his group. "Messengers, urgent news! Dark forces are gathering at the border and seem to be making a big move. Defense lines everywhere are in danger!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned and exchanged a solemn look with his companion. Leo clenched his fists and whispered, "It's coming faster than expected."

"We must act immediately." Kevin pushed his glasses and quickly analyzed possible tactical strategies, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

"But we have just gained the recognition of the Heart of Light and have not yet fully mastered its power." Alvin's worries were not groundless. His compassionate heart always made him more concerned about the consequences.

The shadow of the Guardian of Light and Shadow reappeared. This time he seemed more substantial, with deep concern in his eyes: "Time is running out, but the choices made by the Heart of Light are never wrong. Believe in yourself, you already have something beyond power."

"We understand." Lin Feng stood up straight with a firm tone, "Now is not the time to hesitate. All we have to do is believe in each other and this newfound strength."

"Then let's split up. I'll go to the border to coordinate the defense line, Leo will be responsible for organizing the resistance, and Kevin and Alvin will assist in evacuating the people." Leah quickly assigned the tasks, her eyes full of calmness and decisiveness.

"Let's do it." Everyone nodded without any extra words. The tacit understanding between them no longer needed too much explanation.

"Remember, you are not fighting alone." The shadow of the Guardian of Light and Shadow emphasized again before disappearing, "The light of the whole world will crown you."

With the sound of "departure", the messengers of light went their separate ways, their figures lengthened in the morning light, and every step seemed to be stepping on a field of hope. Passers-by stopped to watch them go, their eyes filled with reluctance, endless hope and trust.

"Look, they are real heroes." The child's voice rang out again, childish but full of conviction.

"That's right," a mother gently touched her child's head, "They are the embodiment of light. No matter how strong the darkness is, it cannot cover their light."

Just as the messengers of light were walking away, a deep and majestic voice seemed to come from the sky: "Light and darkness have been interdependent and mutually restrained since ancient times. I hope that this time, humans can find the answer to the coexistence of the two with a heart of light."

Passersby looked up one after another. Although the source of the voice was unknown, they were all filled with inexplicable emotion and anticipation. This was not only the battle of the messenger of light, but also the common hope of all those who longed for light.

"We believe in you." A voice rang out among the crowd, followed by more people echoing it, like a tide, gathering into an unstoppable force.

At this moment, four messengers of light are marching towards the dark frontier along different paths. Each step is full of unknowns, but also full of the temptation of challenges and the hope of victory. Their stories, like the rising sun, are shining on the earth and bringing new dawn to the world.

Lin Feng stepped into the war zone, surrounded by ruins and scorch marks left by the war. A soldier staggered over, his face covered in dust, but the moment he saw Lin Feng, an incredible light flashed in his eyes: "It's the messenger of light! You are really here, our savior!" Lin Feng patted his shoulder and said firmly: "We are each other's backers, and we will protect this land together."
