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

"I have heard of your feat," the wise man said in a gentle and solemn voice, "The recognition of the Wind Flute proves that your hearts are as pure as light. But on your way to the healing spring, there are still ancient prophecies and trials hidden."

The crowd around fell silent, and even the noisiest children listened with bated breath, as if at this moment, the wise man's words connected the past and the future.

"The prophecy says that the healing spring is guarded by an ancient power. That power is neither pure light nor absolute darkness, but a balance between the two. Only by understanding this balance can you touch the spring and gain its blessing." When the wise man said this, his eyes swept over Su Ye, Li, Allen and Kyle in turn, as if considering whether they had such wisdom.

"Balanced?" Li murmured to himself, the ancient book in his hand moving without wind, turning to a page that depicted a yin-yang pattern, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Allen tightened his grip on the sword, frowning: "How can we find this balance?"

"The answer lies not in my words, but in the depths of your hearts and the experiences along the way." The wise man smiled and pointed to the distance. "Go, feel the world with your heart, talk to different people, and learn their understanding of light and darkness. Remember, true power lies in tolerance, not conquest."

A woman in the crowd whispered, "It seems that they are not only brave, but also wise."

"Yes, the fact that they can understand such teachings shows that they are extraordinary." An old man nearby agreed, with hope for the future in his eyes.

The four of them looked at each other, with determination flashing in their eyes. Su Ye took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the wise man: "We will keep your guidance in mind. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will find that balance and complete our mission."

With the blessing of the wise man, they set out on their journey again. This time, their destination, the Healing Spring, seemed even more confusing than the Wind Flute, full of unknowns and mysteries.

"Do you think we can find that balance?" Kyle asked as he walked, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Don't we all grow in the process of searching?" Su Ye replied with a smile, her eyes full of confidence, "Besides, we have each other."

"Yes," Li said. She took out the ancient book from her bag and flipped through it. "The book contains a lot of ancient wisdom. Maybe it can provide us with some clues."

Allen carefully observed the scenery along the way, trying to find the so-called "balance" from every inch of land and every life: "Balance may be hidden in life, but we have never noticed it."

Their conversations and thoughts, along with the scenery of the journey, gradually deepened their understanding of the world. Wherever they went, they would listen to the stories of the locals, from the hard work of farmers to the shrewd calculations of businessmen, from the kindness and medical skills of doctors to the bravery and fearlessness of soldiers. In this process, they gradually discovered that light and darkness are not absolute, but interdependent, forming the diversity and harmony of the world.

Until one day, they met an abandoned child in a desolate ruin. The child's innocence and light of hope were particularly precious in this desperate place. In the process of helping the child find his family and rebuild his home, they deeply realized the difficulty of persisting in light in adversity and the significance of seeking light in darkness.

“Perhaps, this is balance.” Kyle looked at the village gradually regaining its vitality under the setting sun, and he had the answer in his heart.

"Light needs darkness to set it off, just as people in darkness long for light." Li sighed. At this moment, the ancient book seemed to be more profound, carrying more philosophy about the world.

"Then, the healing spring..." Before Alan finished his words, a gentle breeze brought the freshness of the spring water in the distance, as if guiding them.

They followed this mysterious guidance and finally found a healing spring in a valley illuminated by stars. The spring water was crystal clear, surrounded by strange plants, emitting a gentle light, as if every corner of nature was maintaining a delicate balance.

Just as they were about to approach the spring, a soft female voice sounded: "Welcome to the healing spring, travelers. Here, you will face the light and darkness in the deepest part of your heart. Only through trials can you touch the true balance."

The four turned around, but did not see anyone. They only felt that the air around them was full of mystery and expectation. The story ended abruptly at this moment, leaving behind infinite imagination of the unknown and self-exploration, and also laying a deep foreshadowing for the next adventure.

"Then let's get started." Su Ye said firmly. Her tone showed both anticipation for the future and the courage to make decisions in the present.

"Yes, no matter what awaits us, as long as we are together, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Alan held the wind flute tightly, his eyes burning with desire for the future.

The sudden attack was like a flash of lightning in the night, breaking the tranquility of the valley. A huge shadow beast suddenly jumped out from the depths of the healing spring. Its body was made of thick shadows, and its eyes were like the abyss, emitting a frightening cold light.

"Be alert, it's the Shadow Beast!" Alan quickly drew out the Sword of Wind and blocked it in front of everyone. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, reflecting the faint light of the surrounding plants, as if even the light was trembling for it.

"It seems that the trial of balance is coming faster than we thought." Li said in a deep voice. Her fingers gently stroked the cover of the ancient book, and the pages turned automatically, as if looking for a solution.

"This thing is not easy to deal with, we have to attack together!" Kyle clenched his fists, a faint electric current emanating from his body, ready to attack at any time.

"Be careful, the shadow beast is good at taking advantage of the fear in the mind. Don't let it affect your judgment." Su Ye reminded. The Mirror of Light in her hand glowed softly, and circles of warm light surrounded everyone, forming a protective shield.

The shadow beast roared, and the shadows around it split into countless filaments as if they were living things, attacking the four people, trying to invade their hearts and spread fear and despair.

"Concentrate, the light in our hearts will not be extinguished easily!" Alan roared and swung his sword to cut off the attacking shadow threads. Every slash carried a trajectory of light, illuminating the dim valley.

Li flipped the ancient book to a specific page, chanting an ancient spell, and flicked his fingers, releasing an arrow of light that hit the core of the Shadow Beast, forcing it to step back several steps and let out a painful roar.

"Don't give it a chance to breathe!" Kyle's voice was not finished, and the whole person turned into a flash of lightning, and went around the flank of the shadow beast. The continuous electric shock made the shadow beast twist its body in pain, and the concentration of the shadow seemed to be weakened. Su Ye used the environment around the healing spring to guide the power of nature. The plant vines responded to her call and bound the limbs of the shadow beast, restricting its movement.

Just when the four thought victory was in sight, the shadow beast suddenly jumped up, and a powerful shadow energy burst out from its body, breaking free from the restraints in an instant, and the surrounding light dimmed again.

"Oh no! It's going to self-destruct!" Li keenly sensed the danger and immediately summoned a light shield to try to block the shock wave.

"Disperse!" Alan shouted, and the four of them quickly separated, but even so, the shock wave generated by the Shadow Beast's self-explosion still shook them all over the place, and the scene around them became blurred for a moment.

When the dust settled, they were surprised to find that the shadow beast had disappeared without a trace, but the water of the healing spring began to fluctuate strangely because of the impact, as if something was rising from the depths of the spring.

"What is that?" Kyle rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

A sphere of light and shadow slowly emerged from the spring water. It was neither completely light nor completely dark, but a perfect fusion of the two. It was the source of balance.

"This is the answer we are looking for." Su Ye whispered. She slowly stepped forward and stretched out her hand toward the sphere. A warm and powerful force flowed through her body, healing the wounds from the battle and also sublimating her soul.

"It seems that the real balance is not a simple confrontation or integration, but to find the deepest harmony in one's heart after understanding both." Li sighed, and her ancient book closed automatically, as if it had completed its mission.

"Yes, light and darkness are just like the good and evil in each of our hearts. Only by accepting and understanding them can we become truly powerful." Kyle seemed to have realized something, and his eyes became more determined.

Allen tightly grasped the Sword of Wind, staring at the source of balance, his heart surging with unprecedented peace: "This power will be our most precious treasure on the road to protecting light."

The four of them gathered around the healing spring. The fluctuations in the spring water gradually subsided, but their hearts had gained unprecedented growth because of this trial. At this moment, a breeze blew, and the mysterious female voice sounded again: "Congratulations, travelers. You have proven yourselves, and the way of balance has been integrated into your hearts. There will be more unknowns waiting for you on the road ahead."

The story does not end here, the adventure of the four has just begun. With the power given by the source of balance, they set out on a journey again, heading towards a more distant and unknown area. With every step they take, they can feel the surge of the power of balance in their hearts, as if the whole world is talking to them in a brand new way.

"Now, where are we going?" Kyle asked, his eyes showing both a desire for the unknown and trust in his companions.

"Let's go find that wise man and let him see the source of balance we have found." Su Ye suggested. She believed that the wise elder could guide them in the next direction.

"Good idea, maybe he can tell us more about this world and our mission." Alan agreed, the Wind Sword spinning gently in his hand, as if he was also expecting new revelations.

Li gently stroked the ancient book, which was now silent, as if savoring the miracle just now. "I am also curious whether the source of balance is recorded in the ancient book, or whether it can unlock other secrets in the book."

The four set out again, this time not only to find the next adventure, but also to have a deeper understanding and application of balance. They passed through different villages and cities, and every time they stopped, they would use their stories and the new way of balance they learned to inspire and help the people they met. In their words and deeds, light and darkness are no longer opposing concepts, but forces that coexist and complement each other.

By chance, they rescued a scholar trapped in an ancient maze. The scholar showed them an ancient map with a legendary "Temple of Wisdom" marked on it. It was said that there was knowledge that could answer all the world's questions.

“The Temple of Wisdom sounds like a place prepared for us,” Kyle said excitedly.

"Indeed, if the answers we are looking for are really there, then we must go and take a look." Su Ye's eyes were firm.

The road to the Temple of Wisdom is long and full of challenges. Not only do they have to cross the dangerous forest, deal with mysterious creatures, but they also have to solve a series of ancient puzzles. In this process, everyone is constantly growing, and they have learned how to use the power of balance to find a way out when facing their inner fears and struggles.

Finally, on a sunny morning, they stood in front of the Temple of Wisdom. The appearance of the temple was simple and solemn, like a naturally grown boulder, blending into the surrounding environment. Only the huge door was carved with delicate balance symbols, indicating its extraordinaryness.

"We are here, the Hall of Wisdom." Li said softly, her tone full of awe and anticipation.

The door slowly opened, and they were greeted by a hall filled with soft light. In the center was a floating ball of light, which exuded an aura similar to that of the source of balance but even deeper.

"Welcome, travelers. The wisdom you seek is here." An ethereal voice echoed in the hall, but the speaker could not be seen.

Alan took a step forward and raised the Wind Sword, his gesture was both confrontational and respectful: "We come for a greater balance, and hope to find guidance here."

"You have found the most important answer," the voice continued, "but knowledge is endless and wisdom must be constantly sought. In this temple, you can raise your questions and find your own answers."

"Well, let me ask you a question first." Kyle's eyes sparkled with curiosity, "Why must light and darkness coexist? Is there a world with only pure light or darkness?"

"Pure light or darkness will only lead to an imbalance in the world." The voice slowly flowed in the air, "Just as the day cannot last forever, the night also needs stars to embellish it. Everything in the universe needs unity of opposites to maintain circulation and vitality. Without shadows, how can the warmth of light be revealed? Without challenges, how can we talk about growth and strength?"

Li opened the ancient book, and the page automatically jumped to a blank page, as if inviting some kind of answer, "Excuse me, how can we spread this way of balance to more people? Can the ancient book record this journey and serve as a guide for future generations?" (End of this chapter)
