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

Chapter 713 Power and Wisdom

"Recording and inheritance are the power of knowledge." A light breeze seemed to blow through the air, bringing with it a barely perceptible smile. "Your ancient book will become a witness, not only recording your journey, but also inspiring future travelers who seek a way to balance. Let everyone who reads it find their own light and shadow in your story."

Alan stared at the suspended ball of light, with a strong emotion in his heart. "I want to know how to find a balance between protecting others and self-sacrifice. Sometimes, standing up means losing everything. How should we choose?"

"A true hero is not one who is fearless, but one who knows when to be brave and when to retreat." The voice was filled with infinite tenderness and wisdom. "Find your center of gravity on the scale of love and responsibility. Remember, protecting others does not always mean sacrificing yourself. Wisdom and strategy are equally important. Learning to trust your partners and sharing responsibilities is the art of balancing protection and sacrifice."

Su Ye walked gently to the ball of light, clasped his hands together, and his eyes flashed with determination, "I want to know, how can I help more people find light in the darkness of their hearts and heal their trauma?"

"Healing begins with understanding and resonance." The light seemed to soften. "Everyone's heart is a unique starry sky, with both light and darkness. What you have to do is to be the light that leads them to look up at the stars, so that they understand that even in the deepest night, there are stars shining. Use your actions and stories to tell them that hope always exists."

As each question and answer went deeper, the four people seemed to be receiving a baptism of the soul. The doubts and confusion in their hearts gradually dissipated, and were replaced by firmer beliefs and clearer directions.

"Now, we will continue our journey with this wisdom." Su Ye turned to look at his companions, their eyes flashing with resonance and determination, "not only to find answers, but also to spread this way of balance."

"That's right." Kyle nodded. "No matter how long and difficult the road ahead is, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

"Let's go, towards the farther horizon." Alan raised the Sword of Wind and pointed it at the sky. At that moment, even the air seemed to be cheering for them.

Li gently closed the ancient book, the cover of which glowed faintly in the sunlight. "Our story has just begun."

As the gate slowly closed, the echo of the Temple of Wisdom still stirred in their hearts. The four of them walked out side by side, their backs stretched out and projected on the road leading to the distance, foreshadowing that a more grand adventure was about to begin.

“By the way, who was that voice just now? Will we meet again?” Kyle suddenly remembered and turned to look at the closed door, feeling both curious and reluctant.

"He is a wise man and the guardian of this temple." The answer came faintly from the air, as if transcending the limitations of space. "When you are faced with confusion again and seek guidance in your heart, we will meet again."

"So, where is the next stop?" Alan gripped the Wind Sword tightly, his face filled with yearning for the unknown.

"According to the latest map revealed in the ancient book, we should go to the area known as the 'Mind Furnace'." Li carefully studied the clues in the ancient book, his tone full of anticipation, "It is said that there, people's minds can be forged, and people can understand a deeper self through extreme experiences."

"The Crucible of the Soul? It sounds like a great place to hone my will!" Kyle rubbed his fists together, electricity jumping at his fingertips, demonstrating his fighting spirit.

Su Ye smiled slightly, and the mirror of light slowly rotated in her hand, reflecting the determination on the faces of the four people, "No matter what the road ahead is, as long as we keep a balance in our hearts, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

They set out on their journey again, the scenery changed along the way, and the spiritual furnace gradually outlined a hazy outline on the horizon. When they arrived, the scene before them was shocking - a desolate land, boiling magma, rolling heat waves, and the air was filled with the breath of trial.

"Is this the melting pot of the soul? I feel like I'm being roasted with every step I take." Kyle said half-jokingly, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

"It's just right. Let our souls undergo the most severe tempering." Alan was the first to step onto the scorching land. The sword of wind swung by him brought about cool breezes, relieving the oppression of the high temperature.

Li followed closely behind. The ancient book was unexpectedly calm in the high temperature, as if it contained some kind of protective power. "Ancient books record that the soul furnace can reveal the deepest secrets and fears in the human heart. Only by facing and surpassing them can we move to a higher level."

Su Ye used the Mirror of Light to escort the team, and the light reflected by the mirror seemed to open up a safe path for them. "Friends, are you ready? Let us forge ourselves into a more resilient self in the furnace of our hearts."

As they go deeper, the surrounding environment becomes more and more harsh, and the tests of the soul come one after another. They begin to encounter illusions, each of which is woven based on their deepest fears and regrets, and is so realistic that it is almost suffocating.

"This is my past..." Kyle stopped and the phantom before his eyes was the scene where he missed the rescue due to indecision, and regret surged like a tide.

"Don't let the past bind you, look to the future." Su Ye's voice rang in his ears, and the light of the Mirror of Light shone on him, warm and firm, gradually dispelling those negative emotions.

On the other hand, Allen was faced with doubts about his own abilities, and a storm of self-doubt almost swallowed him up. "Can I... really protect everyone?" His voice was trembling.

"You have proven yourself countless times, Alan." Li's words were like sweet rain. Her ancient book gently opened, and page after page flashed through his heroic moments in the past, rekindling his confidence.

Li herself is faced with the temptation of knowledge and the torture of boundaries. In the illusion, she saw an endless book that promised her all the mysteries of the universe, but the price was to be imprisoned in the ocean of knowledge forever. "There is nothing wrong with pursuing knowledge, but you can't lose yourself." She whispered to herself and finally rejected the temptation.

Just as they were overcoming their inner fears one by one and were about to walk out of the spiritual furnace, a sudden energy storm swept in, which seemed to be the final test for them.

"Everyone, hold hands and concentrate our strength!" Su Ye shouted loudly. The four of them quickly formed a circle, and their respective abilities gathered together to form a dazzling ball of light, which resisted the ravages of the storm.

"Light and darkness, courage and wisdom, we are connected to each other and invincible!" Alan shouted, and the Sword of Wind made the most dazzling blow, cutting through the center of the storm.

As the storm subsided, they stood at the edge of the furnace, exhausted but more determined. They looked at each other, and understood each other's thoughts without words.

"We've been through so much along the way," Kyle said with deep emotion. "But we've become stronger, haven't we?" Li replied with a smile.

"That's right, and we still have each other." Su Ye's gentle gaze swept across everyone.

"Next, no matter what we encounter, we will move forward fearlessly." Alan raised his arm and the Sword of Wind pointed straight to the sky, as if declaring their determination.

"The Heart Crucible gives us not only trials, but also the sublimation of self-awareness." Su Ye gently stroked the Mirror of Light, and the mirror reflected the more mature figures of the four people. "Now, we know our strengths and understand the fragility of our hearts. This is a gain more precious than any treasure."

"It's time to leave here and continue our journey." Li closed the ancient book, and a new coordinate suddenly appeared in the book. "The ancient book shows that there is a place called 'Silent Forest', which is said to hide the secret of controlling elemental power."

"Elemental power? That's so attractive!" Kyle was eager to try it out, and the lightning in his body was ready to move, as if responding to the upcoming adventure.

"However, according to records, there are ancient guardian beasts living in the Silent Forest. If you want to gain power, you must win their recognition." Su Ye reminded. Her caution made the team's steps more steady.

"Since it's a trial, we will gladly accept it." There was a hint of provocation in Alan's smile, and the wind sword spun lightly, foreshadowing his desire for the challenge.

The four set out on their journey again, crossing mountains and ridges, and finally arrived at the legendary Silent Forest. In the forest, time seemed to stand still, the air was filled with a primitive and mysterious atmosphere, and occasionally beams of light penetrated between the huge trees, making them look mottled.

"The feeling here is both quiet and full of vitality." Li said softly. She felt the ancient book trembling, as if responding to the surrounding environment.

"Indeed, but I am more concerned about how we can find those guardian beasts?" Kyle looked around, curious and wary.

"Stay alert, and respect every inch of land here." As soon as Su Ye finished speaking, the ground shook slightly, and a huge but elegant deer slowly walked out of the bushes, with wisdom flashing in its eyes. It was one of the guardian beasts of the forest.

"Travelers, your arrival is not unexpected." The deer spoke, his voice was distant, as if it had been echoing here since ancient times. "The Silent Forest welcomes all visitors with awe, but will also test their sincerity."

"We are here to seek the power of elements in order to better protect the balance." Alan stepped forward with a sincere attitude, his wind sword lowered to show respect.

"The power of the elements is not a gift that is given lightly. You must pass four trials: the fire of courage, the water of wisdom, the earth of tenacity, and the wind of freedom." Lu's eyes swept over the four people one by one, and said meaningfully, "Everyone will face his or her own exclusive trial. Are you ready?"

Faced with the direct challenge from their guardian beasts, the four exchanged firm glances. They knew that this was an indispensable part of the path to growth.

"In that case, let's get started." Su Ye responded first. She walked towards a path illuminated by fire, where the Trial of Fire was waiting for her.

Kyle, Li, and Alan also set out on their own paths. The forest changed around them, presenting a flaming crater, a surging Lake of Wisdom, a rocky and resolute mountain range, and a free wilderness with turbulent winds and clouds.

After several days of trials, the four gathered in front of their guardian beasts again. They exuded a different aura than before, and each of them had mastered a deeper level of elemental power.

"Your growth has exceeded my expectations." The guardian beast nodded approvingly. "In this case, I will grant you the key to control the power of elements. I hope you will spread the way of balance further in your future journeys."

As the guardian beast spoke, a shining rune appeared in front of each of the four people. They gently floated into their bodies, and an unprecedented power surged.

"Now, we have more power to protect the light." Kyle clenched his fists, and lightning jumped between his fingers, appearing more delicate and controllable.

"There is also wisdom and knowledge. The ancient books seem to have new life." Li flipped through the ancient books, and each page radiated light, containing more knowledge and mysteries.

"My heart is stronger and stronger, enough to face any challenge." Su Ye's Mirror of Light exudes a soft but more powerful light, and its healing power is unstoppable.

"And I have mastered the true meaning of wind, free and precise." The wind sword in Alan's hand danced, and the wind element seemed to have consciousness and was in perfect harmony with him.

"So, what's our next destination?" Kyle asked. His eyes showed both a desire for the unknown and a deep trust in his partners.

"The ancient book marked a place called 'The Crossroads of Destiny'." Li answered softly. The ancient book unfolded itself and was placed in her hand. A beam of light pointed to the far north. "It is said that there is a hub where various destinies intersect. We may be able to find more clues about balance and mission."

"Then, let us move towards the intersection of destiny." Su Ye smiled, and the mirror of light reflected the figures of the four people clinging to each other. "No matter how fate arranges, as long as we are together, we can write our own legend."

Under the watchful eyes of the guardian beasts, the four travelers set out on their journey again. Their figures lengthened in the sunset, step by step away from the silent forest and towards a wider world. Their story, as Li said, has just begun, and every ending heralds a new chapter, which is always full of expectations.

"No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we keep light in our hearts, darkness will never swallow us." Alan's words, accompanied by the whisper of the wind, became the best footnote for their progress.

"That's right, because we are the guardians of balance. Our journey is a legend of light and darkness." After Kyle finished speaking, the four of them walked away side by side, leaving behind only a hearty laughter that echoed in the forest. "Besides, we still have each other." Li added gently, her eyes warm and firm, as if they could illuminate all the dark corners on the road ahead.

"It is this companionship that fills our every step with strength." Su Ye lightly touched the mirror of light, and a gentle light flowed on the mirror, reflecting the unbreakable bond between the team.
