Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

"Now, we have the Heart of Ice, the Heart of Fire, and the Heart of Wind." Li looked at the gems in her hand, her eyes filled with both relief and responsibility.

"But this is just the beginning. The real challenge is how to use these forces to fight the coming crisis." Allen's voice was calm and firm.

Just as they were about to leave the cave and continue with their next plan, a gentle yet solemn voice sounded in the cave. It was the whisper of the wind and the call of nature: "Your journey is far from over. The true meaning of elemental power requires you to comprehend it through practice."

As the words fell, the light in the cave gradually dimmed, as if everything had returned to calm, but the hearts of the three people were stirred, filled with anticipation for an unknown journey and determination for their own mission.

"No matter what the future holds, we will fight side by side until the last moment." Li looked at Allen and Su Ye, their eyes met, and they reached a consensus silently.

"Yes, for this world, for our common home." Su Ye replied, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Then let's write our own legend together." Alan smiled and raised the device in his hand, as if saluting the future.

Walking out of the hiding place of the Heart of Wind, the three of them felt extremely heavy-hearted. In their hands, they held not only the Heart of Elements, but also the heavy trust for the future. The sun penetrated the sparse clouds and sprinkled on them, bringing a little warmth, but it could not dispel the chill in their hearts.

"We must find a safe place as soon as possible and plan our next move." Li looked around vigilantly, the wind humming in his ears, as if warning of the coming storm.

Just as they were carefully crossing the mountains and preparing to return to the civilized world, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, and an invisible pressure loomed. A huge black shadow loomed among the clouds, and with the sound of thunderous wings flapping, it rushed towards them.

"It's a shadow beast!" Su Ye's face became solemn. This creature only existed in ancient legends. It was said that they were the embodiment of dark forces and specialized in hunting down beings with powerful powers.

"Get ready for battle!" Alan quickly activated all the defensive equipment on his body and opened the mechanical wings he was carrying, ready to respond to aerial attacks at any time.

The shadow beast swooped down like a black lightning, its sharp claws reflecting cold light in the sun. Li and Su Ye quickly stood back to back, forming a fighting stance, each preparing their weapons and skills.

"Distract it, I'll try to locate its weakness!" Li shouted, swinging his sword at the shadow wings of the Shadow Beast. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, it forced it to change its flight trajectory.

"Alan, where is your freezing bomb? Give it some color!" Su Ye dodged the Shadow Beast's claws while loudly suggesting.

Alan quickly adjusted the launcher, and one icy freezing bomb after another whizzed out and hit the Shadow Beast's body, causing it to pause in the air and move slightly slowly.

"Found it! Attack the part of its chest that is not covered by darkness!" Alan discovered the flaw of the Shadow Beast through analysis of mechanical vision.

Li and Su Ye exchanged glances and launched attacks at the same time in tacit understanding. Li's sword light pierced the chest of the shadow beast as accurately as an ice spike, while Su Ye used his perception ability to deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.

"Woo——" The Shadow Beast let out a painful howl, its huge body shook a few times, and finally fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and were about to get closer to check the condition of the shadow beast, it suddenly turned into a ball of dark mist and surrounded the three of them.

"Be careful! This is its last resort!" Su Ye reminded. They quickly activated all protective measures, but could still feel the dark forces trying to invade their consciousness.

In the chaos, Li suddenly felt a warm light rising in her heart. The Heart of Ice, the Heart of Fire, and the Heart of Wind seemed to respond to her call. The three forces merged in her body to form an invisible barrier that kept the power of shadow out.

"Concentrate our will and use the light in our hearts to fight against the darkness!" Li's voice rang in everyone's heart, like a beam of light, illuminating the confusion.

Following Li's words, Alan and Su Ye also found their inner strength. The power of the three people reached an unprecedented harmony at this moment. The dark mist that tried to swallow them gradually dissipated and finally collapsed completely.

"We... succeeded?" Su Ye asked in disbelief. He looked around. The sun was shining on the earth again and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

"Yes, we have once again proved that as long as we have faith, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Li smiled, and her smile showed the determination that comes from having gone through hardships.

"Besides, this may be another trial in our journey, reminding us that our real enemy may be more powerful than we think," Alan added, his eyes shining with determination for the battle ahead.

"No matter what, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible." Su Ye's words were simple but powerful. The three of them touched hands lightly in the air, which was a trust and commitment that needed no words.

"Well, we still have a long way to go. This incident is just a small episode." Li said, and took the first step forward. In the sunlight, her figure looked particularly determined.

"Let's move on to the next destination!" Alan followed closely behind, his face filled with anticipation for unknown challenges.

"But, Li, do we really know where the Heart of Water is? It is the most mysterious of the four elements." Su Ye asked as he walked, with a hint of worry in his voice.

Li stopped and looked at the winding river in the distance, with a deep light in his eyes. "The Heart of Water is closely connected to the source of life. Legend has it that it is hidden in the purest water source. We just need to follow the guidance of nature and we will always find clues."

At this moment, an old man in a robe appeared from nowhere. He held a cane carved with complex water patterns. His face was kind and his voice was like a mountain stream, flowing into everyone's ears: "Young people, are you looking for the Heart of Water?"

The three were surprised and nodded quickly. The old man smiled and pointed to the east: "Follow this river upstream to its source, and you will face the test of the heart of water. Remember, true wisdom lies in listening and understanding, not in conquering."

The figure of the old man gradually faded away, as if he had never appeared. They looked at each other and knew without saying anything that this was a journey not to be missed.

After countless twists and turns and hardships, they came to the end of the river, and in front of them was a quiet lake with clear water and sparkling waves, which seemed to contain endless vitality. However, there was an invisible barrier in the center of the lake, isolating the Heart of Water from the outside.

"It seems that this is the test of the Heart of Water." Allen observed the lake and thought. "Test? What will it be?" Su Ye asked curiously.

"Patience and understanding of nature." Li closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she was talking to the lake.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the lake, and a string of bubbles rose from the bottom of the lake, condensing into the shape of a water spirit. "Welcome to the cradle of life, travelers. If you want to get the heart of water, you must prove your respect and understanding of life." The spirit's voice was clear and pleasant.

"Excuse me, how can we prove it?" Li took a step forward with a sincere attitude.

The water spirit smiled, and pictures appeared on the lake: dry land, polluted rivers, dying creatures... "Look, every drop of water in this world is telling of pain. Tell me, how do you plan to alleviate their suffering?"

Allen thought for a moment, took out a small device, and explained: "This is the water purification system I designed. Although it is small, it can effectively clean water within a certain range. I believe that technology and nature can coexist harmoniously."

Li continued, "And I am willing to be a bridge, connecting humans and nature, and educating more people to learn to respect and protect water resources."

Su Ye also joined the conversation: "I will use my pen to record all of this, awaken the kindness in more people's hearts, and make people realize the preciousness of every drop of water."

The water spirit nodded with satisfaction, and the barrier on the lake surface slowly opened, revealing the dazzling water heart at the bottom of the lake. It exuded a soft blue light, blending in with the surrounding environment, appearing so harmonious.

When Li reached out and touched the Heart of Water, a cool and gentle power surged into her heart. She seemed to hear the singing of rivers all over the world and feel the joy and tranquility of the source of life.

"We did it!" Su Ye cheered, and the three of them smiled at each other, with stars and the sea in their eyes, as well as infinite longing for the future.

"Now, with the hearts of the four elements, we are one step closer to our ultimate goal." Li said softly, her tone containing both the joy of victory and the determination to face unknown challenges.

"That's right, but this is just a new beginning. We still have a long way to go to protect this world, and we still have a lot to do." Alan responded, his eyes flashing with a firm belief in a future where technology and nature will prosper together.

"Indeed, every step is full of unknowns, but we have proved the power of unity and persistence." Su Ye said, looking towards the distant sky, where the clouds seemed to be cheering for them.

Just as the three were immersed in their hard-earned victory, a breeze blew by, bringing a whisper, as if it was a response from nature: "The fusion of elemental forces will lead you to the true trial ground."

A trace of determination flashed in Li's eyes, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will walk hand in hand." Her words were like a vow, making the air around them solemn.

"But before that, maybe we should take a break and sort out our thoughts," Alan suggested. His rationality always brought balance to the team at critical moments.

So they found a pleasant place to sit down, enjoying the tranquility of nature while discussing the next action plan. The sunlight shone through the leaves, dappled on their faces, adding a bit of warmth to this tense journey.

"We have already mastered the four elemental hearts. The next step should be to integrate these powers and find the best way to use them." Li gently stroked the elemental hearts in his hand, thinking about their potential power.

Su Ye nodded in agreement, and then put forward his own ideas: "Besides, I think we should take the initiative and not always respond passively. Since our goal is to protect this world, we should find the source of the threat."

"That's right, but before that, we need more information. I can try to track those potential crisis signals through technical means." Alan said confidently and had already begun planning a new device in his mind.

At this moment, a colorful bird landed on Li's shoulder. Its eyes sparkled, as if conveying some kind of message. Li gently stroked the bird and said softly, "Yes, little one, we know what to do."

The bird chirped a few times and flapped its wings to fly high, as if guiding them. The three of them smiled at each other, and without saying anything more, they stood up and followed the bird to embark on a new journey.

After a long journey, the bird led them to an ancient library, a forgotten treasure house of knowledge. When they opened the door, a breath of history came to them, and the bookshelves were piled with dusty books.

"Will... we have the answers we need here?" Su Ye looked around, his mind full of questions.

"Knowledge is power. Perhaps we can find the key to dealing with the upcoming threat." Li encouraged, her eyes moving through the numerous books, searching for the lost wisdom.

Allen immediately started searching for documents. He operated a portable analyzer, trying to filter out useful information from the vast amount of information. "If there really is an ancient record about elemental power, I will definitely find it."

As time passed, an ancient book with the symbols of the four elements inlaid on the cover came into Alan's sight. He excitedly took out the book and opened the yellowed pages.

"Look, here are records about the 'Element Guardians' and how to combine the power of elements to create a 'Shining Shield' that is powerful enough to fight against the forces of darkness!" Alan's voice trembled with excitement.

Li and Su Ye quickly gathered together and read this precious document together. As the text unfolded, they seemed to be able to feel the wisdom and power of the sages flowing into their souls through the text.

"We must start preparing immediately, time waits for no one." Li looked solemn, but his tone revealed determination.

"That's right, every minute and every second is crucial." Su Ye agreed, with the flame of determination burning in his eyes.

In the following days, the three of them worked day and night according to the guidance of the ancient books, gradually integrating the energy of the Heart of Elements. Finally, on a stormy night, they successfully created the legendary "Shield of Glory".

When the shield was formed, the whole space seemed to tremble, and the four elements of wind, fire, water, and ice around them seemed to salute them. Li, Su Ye, and Allen, the three figures appeared particularly determined in the light of the shield. They knew that the real battle was about to begin. (End of this chapter)
