Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Lin Feng stepped forward and firmly held the old man's hand: "For the light of this world, for every smile like yours to continue to bloom, we have no choice. We must move forward."

As soon as the voice fell, the sky suddenly became overcast and thunder rumbled, as if in response to their decision. The villagers knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly, while the messengers of light smiled at each other, which was the fearlessness of the brave.

"The first trial, the road of the brave, begins in the Valley of Courage." As Leah interpreted, the words on the scroll began to flow and transformed into a detailed map, pointing to a distant and unknown place.

They set out on their journey again, and passers-by along the way no longer just looked at them in awe, but with deep trust and hope.

"May the light guide your path." A passing caravan leader raised his hand and saluted, his eyes full of sincere blessings.

"You are true heroes and the glory of this era." A young girl held flowers and handed them shyly, with admiration in her eyes.

Facing all this, the four of them just nodded silently, hiding this hope deep in their hearts. They knew that the real test had just begun.

In the Valley of Courage, they encountered unprecedented challenges, huge monsters, steep natural barriers, and inner fears and doubts, all of which tested their courage and teamwork. But it was in these adversities that their hearts became closer and their strength grew rapidly.

Finally, when they stood at the top of the brave and looked at the magnificent scenery below, an unprecedented sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously.

"We did it, but this is just the beginning." Lin Feng looked into the distance, his eyes filled with satisfaction and expectations for the future.

"Yes, next is the trial of the wise and the heart. Are we ready?" Alvin asked with a hint of relief in his tone. They are no longer the ignorant teenagers when they set out, but warriors who have been baptized by war.

Leo raised the corner of his mouth and patted his chest: "No matter when or where, my heart will always be with you."

Leah smiled gently, her eyes as warm as ever: "The path of the heart may be the most difficult, because it is about love and sacrifice, but I believe that as long as we are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

Under the setting sun, the shadows of the four people lengthened, and they set out again, moving towards unknown challenges. The exclamations and comments of passers-by drifted away with the wind, leaving behind their unwavering steps and the everlasting light in their hearts.

"Look over there, it's the messenger of light!" A farmer in the distance stopped what he was doing, pointed at the four figures moving on the horizon, and exclaimed to his companions beside him.

"I heard that they have just completed the Trial of the Brave. What incredible power they have." The companion wiped his sweat, his eyes full of admiration.

On the way to the Trial of the Wise, the reputation of the messengers of light spread further and further, and the fire of fighting against darkness and pursuing light ignited in the hearts of everyone who heard them. They are not only warriors, but also sowers of hope.

Arriving in front of an ancient library, Alvin stopped. The building in front of him was entangled by vines, looking ancient and mysterious. "This should be the starting point of the Trial of the Wise." He said softly, unable to hide his excitement.

When they pushed open the door, the musty smell of books hit their noses, and an oppressive silence filled the bookshelves. Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from the depths, guiding them forward.

"Welcome to the ocean of knowledge, messengers of light. Here, you will face the true test of wisdom - to unravel the ancient mysteries." An old and majestic voice echoed in the empty library.

Day after day, they shuttled through vast documents and puzzles, pushing their wisdom and endurance to the limit. The occasional disputes and disagreements also witnessed the sublimation of their friendship.

"How is this possible! I have never seen this symbol before. It does not belong to any known language system." Leo threw an ancient book on the table in frustration, attracting the attention of others.

"Calm down, Leo. Perhaps the answer does not lie in what we already know, but requires thinking outside the box." Lin Feng analyzed calmly, his eyes jumping between the pages, trying to capture the subtle clues.

Leia's eyes suddenly lit up: "What if these symbols are not for reading, but... for listening?" She gently stroked the strange lines, as if listening to their silent stories.

Following Leah's revelation, a series of complex scale combinations rang in their ears, the ancient walls shook, and a hidden door slowly opened. The Trial of the Wise finally came to an end.

"You have proven your wisdom. Next will be the Trial of the Heart, where you will be tested to see if you have the mental power to change the world." The majestic voice sounded again, pointing the way for their next step.

The path of the heart is a journey to the depths of the self and each other's souls. They rescued one distressed soul after another, interpreting the true meaning of love and sacrifice with their actions. Every helping hand made their strength and faith stronger.

During a rescue operation, an old woman held Leah's hand with tears in her eyes and said: "Messengers of light, you are the beacon of this era, illuminating our way forward."

"No, grandma, everyone has a light in their heart, we just help everyone light it." Leah responded gently, her eyes moist.

Finally, they stood at the end of the Heart's Road, and a shining holy land came into view. The true location of the Heart of Light was revealed before them - it was a land of pure light, containing the source of all positive emotions in the universe.

"We found it. This is the Heart of Light, the hope of the world." Alvin's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were flashing with disbelief and emotion.

"But why is it in this place?" Leo was puzzled and looked around.

“Because light does not only exist in an object, it exists in our hearts, in everyone’s courage, wisdom and love. Everything we do is to allow this light to gather and illuminate every corner of the world.” Lin Feng took a deep breath, as if he understood the meaning of it all.

"So, what should we do next?" Leah asked, her eyes sweeping over the three people. Their eyes were filled with unprecedented determination.

"We must protect it with everything we have. But first, we must tell the world the true meaning of the Heart of Light and let it become an eternal beacon in everyone's heart." Alvin's words fell, like an oath, echoing in this holy land.

Just as they were about to leave and bring this good news to all parts of the world, a deep and mysterious voice echoed in their ears: "The real challenge has just begun. Remember, balance always needs to be protected, and the struggle between light and darkness will never stop..."

"Who is speaking?" Leo looked around warily, his sword already unsheathed, but he couldn't find the source of the voice. "Is it the Heart of Light speaking to us?" Leah asked softly, her intuition telling her that this voice contained ancient and profound wisdom.

"No matter where it comes from, this reminder is timely." Lin Feng said calmly, "Although the Heart of Light has been discovered, it will be our eternal mission to maintain its light and let it illuminate the world."

"That's right. Light cannot exist in isolation. Without experiencing darkness, how can we cherish light?" Alvin added, his eyes flashing with thoughtful consideration for the future. "We are messengers, but also bridges, connecting light with every heart that longs for it."

Just as the four were about to leave the holy land and spread the news of the Heart of Light, a young apprentice from the village came running over, breathlessly saying, "Messengers of Light, a stranger who calls himself the 'Mentor of Shadows' has appeared in the village. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

"Shadow Mentor?" The four exchanged glances, their hearts full of confusion, but out of a sense of responsibility, they decided to listen to what the other party had to say first.

When they returned to the village, they saw a mysterious figure in a black robe waiting in the center of the village. His appearance did not cause panic, but the villagers surrounded him, curious but more in awe.

"Emissary of Light, although our paths are different, our goals may be the same." The Shadow Mentor spoke, his voice low and powerful, "I know the secrets of the depths of darkness, and how to seal it forever. If you are willing to listen, I will help you."

"What is your purpose?" Leo asked directly, his sword still in hand and his vigilance still intact.

"Purpose?" The Shadow Mentor smiled bitterly. "If it weren't for the need to save this world from destruction, who would be willing to reveal their deepest secrets? All I seek is a future that won't be swallowed by darkness."

Leah stepped forward and whispered, "If we trust you, can you promise to lead us to find a way to balance light and darkness?"

"I can't guarantee that." Shadow Mentor said frankly, "But I can guarantee that if you follow my guidance, you will be closer to the truth."

After some discussion, despite their doubts, the messengers of light decided to go with the shadow mentor. After all, the more power they have, the more chances of winning.

  As they left, the villagers started to talk:

"I didn't expect that even Shadow's mentor was attracted by them. It's really amazing." A middle-aged woman sighed.

"Yes, they are not just warriors, they are the hope of all of us." A young man next to him responded with light in his eyes.

Just like that, the figures of the messenger of light and the mentor of shadow disappeared on the horizon, leaving behind a series of firm footprints and the hopeful eyes of the people around them. The unknown journey is full of challenges and variables, but as long as there is light in your heart, you will be fearless.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, we will face it together." Lin Feng's words echoed in their hearts. It was not only a promise to his companions, but also a declaration of war against everything that was to come.

"This world is more complicated than we imagined." Alvin stared into the distance, his tone filled with both expectation and worry.

"Indeed, the discovery of the Heart of Light is just the beginning." Leo gripped the hilt of the sword, his eyes became more determined, "No matter who is standing in front of us, even if it is the Shadow Mentor, as long as they threaten the light of this world, we will not back down."

Leah smiled, as warm as ever: "I believe that everyone has the seed of pursuing light in their heart, even the shadow mentor who came from darkness is no exception. This journey may allow us to understand the true meaning of light and darkness more deeply."

"Then let's do this. We should not only protect the light, but also try to understand and approach the darkness, and find that delicate balance." Lin Feng suggested, his eyes sparkling. "After all, only by understanding the darkness can we better protect the light."

The group continued to move forward, with the Shadow Mentor walking in front, leading them through the unknown. Along the way, they encountered various challenges, including natural dangers and obstructions from dark forces. But with the joint efforts of the Messenger of Light and the Shadow Mentor, all difficulties seemed to be surmountable.

"Look, the Dark Forest is ahead. It is said that it contains ancient secrets and endless dangers." The Shadow Mentor pointed to a dense and dark forest where the trees were tall and dense, and sunlight could hardly penetrate.

"Since it's a secret, let us uncover it." Leo raised the corners of his mouth, full of confidence.

In the dark forest, they encountered a group of creatures that looked like shadows. These creatures had no fixed form, like a group of free darkness. Just as everyone was preparing to fight, the Shadow Mentor suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words in a language that no one could understand. The shadow creatures slowly retreated, leaving a path leading to the depths of the forest.

"How... did you do this?" Lin Feng was surprised, but more curious.

"Creatures in the dark can sometimes be moved by words. They are not entirely evil, but they lack the guidance of light." The Shadow Mentor smiled faintly, and there seemed to be countless things hidden behind that smile.

  When passers-by saw this scene, they began to discuss:

"The Messenger of Light and the Mentor of Shadows are a combination straight out of a myth!" A child's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Yes, it's amazing that they can make the shadow creatures give way!" An old man shook his head and sighed.

"Is there anything in this world that they can't do?" a young man said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

As they went deeper, they came to the core of the dark forest, where there was an ancient altar that emitted strange energy fluctuations. In the center of the altar, a black gem that was gleaming with a faint light lay quietly. It was the heart of darkness that was opposite to the heart of light.

“This is the Heart of Darkness, and it is also the key to our fight against the dark forces.” Shadow Mentor said in a heavy tone.

"Heart of Darkness...what's its relationship to the Heart of Light?" Leah asked softly, her eyes falling tenderly on the gem.

"The two complement each other and counteract each other. Only when there is a balance can the world be peaceful." Shadow Mentor explained, "For a long time, I have been looking for someone who can carry both light and darkness at the same time to achieve true harmony."

"So, you mean..." Leo frowned, as if he had realized something. (End of this chapter)
