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

"Okay! Then let us face this trial together." Tristan's eyes were bright, and the power of time and space condensed into a vortex beside him, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a journey through time and space.

Just as they were about to set off, an old man walked out of the crowd, holding a stone tablet with strange symbols engraved on it. "Children, before you embark on your journey, please accept this. This is a sacred object passed down from generation to generation in our village. It is said that it can help people who are looking for light to identify the direction in the darkness."

"Thank you. This means a lot to us." Kyle took the slate solemnly. The lightning flickered gently on the slate, as if acknowledging this inheritance.

As the crowd thanked the old man, they got ready and set off on a new journey. The conversations of passers-by sounded again, full of blessings and expectations:

"May the gods bless them, the world needs more light."

"Can they really find the Heart of Shadow? Or is it just a legend?"

"At least they give us hope. Sometimes, that's enough."

"Let's go, warriors, towards the unknown, towards the light." The traveler led the way. His steps were light but firm as he led the four warriors into the night.

Under the old willow tree at the entrance of the village, a young couple clung to each other. The girl looked up at the figure gradually disappearing in the distance and whispered, "They will succeed, right?"

The boy hugged the girl tightly, his eyes shining with conviction: "It will happen. They have strength and courage that we can't imagine. One day, we will see the sky full of stars again."

Under the cover of night, a group of people walked on a winding path, and the surrounding environment gradually became desolate and strange. The traveler led the way in front, looking back from time to time to make sure everyone was following, and his eyes seemed to hide a deeper secret.

"We are about to enter the first trial - the maze of time. Remember, the flow of time here is different from that in the outside world. One wrong step may lead to eternal loss." As the traveler finished his words, the space in front seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, and an ancient stone door appeared with an intricate carving of the Wheel of Time on it.

The moment they stepped into the maze, the air froze and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. It was sunset just now, and in a blink of an eye it was dawn. Alan frowned and tried to find a pattern: "We must stay calm and use all clues."

"It is the power of nature that is guiding us." Su Ye closed her eyes and sensed that the energy of nature could actually find a faint vein in this maze. She moved forward slowly, and the changes in the surrounding scenery seemed to slow down, finding a feasible path for the team.

Just as everyone was following Su Ye's rhythm and carefully crossing the maze, suddenly, a violent time storm came and surrounded them, and fragments of time flew in the air like knives.

"Hold on, use our faith to keep our minds steady!" Li's voice pierced through the storm, and the ancient book emitted a soft light, forming a barrier, providing everyone with a chance to breathe.

Tristan took a deep breath, and the power of time and space condensed in his hands: "Let's give this storm some color!" He waved his arms violently, and the door of time and space suddenly appeared, directly teleporting everyone out of the storm. The scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and the exit of the time maze was right in front of them.

Everyone supported each other and walked out of the maze tiredly but gratefully. The traveler nodded approvingly: "Well done, next is the wrath of nature, get ready to face the most primitive test of nature."

They continued to move forward, and soon they stepped into a forest full of primitive wildness. Everything here had spirits, and the slightest movement of the wind and grass seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops. A huge forest spirit blocked their way, and its eyes burned with anger towards the intruders.

"Why do you want to intrude into my territory?" The voice of the forest spirit was deep and full of majesty that could not be ignored.

"We have no ill intentions. We are just seeking the path to the heart of shadow and bring light to this world." Su Ye took a step forward, her eyes clear and sincere.

The forest spirit was silent for a moment, as if sensing the purity of their hearts: "Then prove to me whether you are qualified to pass the test of nature."

A contest with the spirit of nature began, and the four danced with the creatures in the forest, showing their respect and understanding of nature with wisdom and strength. In the end, the spirit of the forest nodded with satisfaction, turned into a green light, and opened a path for them to the next trial.

During the journey, they encountered other challenges, and each time they relied on unity and their own expertise to overcome the dangers. Along the way, conversations with passers-by and villagers also became their driving force to move forward.

"Have you heard? Those warriors have passed two trials. It's incredible."

"Yes, even the forest spirits in the old forest made way for them. They seemed to have some kind of magic."

"Hopefully they can find answers to their problems, and we are all waiting for their return."

Finally, the third trial - the abyss of the soul lay before them. It was a dark area that tested everyone's deepest fears and desires.

“This is the final test. Only the purest will can pass when facing your own inner demons.” The traveler’s words echoed in the void, and for the first time, worry appeared on his face.

Allen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes firm: "We have come this far just for this moment. No matter how powerful the inner demons are, they cannot stop us from moving forward."

The four of them each stepped into their own spiritual abyss, fighting silently with the demons in their hearts. After a difficult self-examination and struggle, they finally overcame their fears and gathered together again, their hearts becoming stronger and purer.

Standing at the exit of the last trial, Li gently turned the last page of the ancient book. The ancient seal seemed to respond to their growth and emitted a warm light.

"We did it. Next, let's face the Heart of Shadow and put an end to it all." As Kyle finished his words, the group stepped into a completely new space, where shadow and light were having the ultimate battle.

At this moment, in a corner far away, a deep sneer echoed: "Are we finally here? Warriors, welcome to the Heart of Shadow, but do you think you are really ready to face me?"

"Who's there?" Tristan looked around vigilantly, the ripples of time and space jumping at his fingertips, ready to deal with the sudden threat. "Hehe, don't be so nervous, I am the spokesperson of the Lord of Shadows, waiting for the arrival of all the warriors." A tall man in a black robe slowly walked out of the shadows, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood, and his voice was inexplicably seductive.

"Spokesperson? Take us to see your master. Our purpose is clear." Alan took a step forward, thunderous determination gathering at the tip of his sword, ready to meet the challenge at any time.

The black-robed man bowed slightly and led them through the winding and dark passage, and finally came to a vast expanse of void. Here, darkness and light intertwined to form a suffocating spectacle, and the huge figure of the Lord of Shadows was quietly suspended in the center of this chaos.

“I am really surprised that you, such tiny creatures, could have made it this far.” The voice of the Lord of Shadows was like an ancient echo, penetrating every inch of space and striking the soul.

"Lord of Shadow, your era is over. We come here on behalf of the light, and for the sake of this world, you must be expelled." Kyle raised the sword of thunder and lightning in his hand, and his oath echoed in the air, stirring up layers of ripples of light and shadow.

"Haha, what arrogant words! You few people want to challenge me? Come on, let me see how dazzling your so-called light is." The figure of the Lord of Shadows suddenly swelled up, and the space around him began to distort. An unprecedented war was about to break out.

The battle was extremely fierce. The four of them joined forces, each using their unique skills to engage in a protracted confrontation with the Lord of Shadow. Whenever the Lord of Shadow released destructive dark energy, they were always able to fight back with a more determined will and brilliant light. During the battle, their mutual understanding and trust reached an unprecedented level, and the coordination at each key node was precise and accurate, as if they had practiced it thousands of times.

"Did you see it, Lord of Shadows? The light will never be extinguished, and justice will prevail in the end!" Alan's sword pointed directly at the core of the Lord of Shadows, and the sword light contained his firm belief in light.

Just as the decisive battle reached its climax, the ancient book automatically opened in Li's hand, emitting a dazzling light. The ancient wisdom and power contained in the book seemed to have found a gate to be released and injected into the four people, causing their strength to increase sharply.

"This... this is..." The Lord of Shadows let out a surprised roar. It had never seen such a sight before. The power contained in the light was beyond its imagination.

Driven by this newfound strength, Alan, Su Ye, Tristan and Li worked together to deliver the final blow. The light and shadow collided, producing an earth-shaking energy shock wave. The entire Heart of Shadow was shaking.

When the light faded, the figure of the Lord of Shadows disappeared, leaving only a peaceful light covering this once dark land.

"Did we... succeed?" Su Ye asked softly. Her green eyes contained both the joy of victory and the worry about the uncertainty of the future.

"It should be, but the Lord of Shadows has not completely disappeared, so we still need to be vigilant." Tristan's tone became more calm, and the power of time and space still surrounded him, ready at all times.

"No matter what, at least we have bought a precious breathing space for this world." Li gently stroked the ancient book. Its cover became brighter after the battle, as if recording this great victory.

"That's right. The next task is to consolidate this peace and ensure that the shadow no longer erodes the light." Kyle looked into the distance, his eyes full of hope for the future.

Just as the four were about to leave and return to the human world to continue protecting this hard-earned peace, the mysterious traveler appeared again, with a look of approval and emotion in his eyes: "What you have done is not only to save a world, but also to ignite the light of hope in the hearts of countless people."

"So, traveler, have you accomplished your mission? Will you continue your journey?" Alan asked, full of curiosity about this mysterious man.

The traveler smiled slightly and turned to face the endless void: "My journey will never end, just as the alternation of light and darkness will never stop. But remember, the real power comes from within. As long as there is light in your heart, hope will never go out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving behind only a warm light, as if guiding them home.

"Let's go home and bring this legend back to those who are waiting for us." Su Ye suggested with a warm smile on his face.

"Well, there are still many stories to tell them and many hopes to be sown." Tristan said, and the gate of time and space appeared in his hand again. On the other side of the gate was the world full of hope and expectation waiting for their return.

"Wait," Li suddenly stopped, and the ancient book in his hand automatically opened to a certain page, on which strange symbols flashed, "This book seems to be guiding us to a place, perhaps a new revelation, or the continuation of our journey."

"If that's the case, we have no choice but to meet the challenge head-on." Kyle clenched the lightning sword in his hand, his eyes burning with an undying fighting spirit, ready to meet the next challenge.

They passed through the gate of time and space and appeared in a bustling market, where passers-by looked at them in surprise.

"Look, it's them! Those legendary heroes!" A young girl pointed at them, her eyes full of admiration.

"It's true! I heard that they defeated the Lord of Shadows and brought peace to us!" the young man next to him said excitedly, his voice full of disbelief.

"Heroes, welcome back!" An elderly businessman stepped forward and bowed deeply. "Excuse me, is the world outside really getting brighter as the rumors say?"

"Yes, old sir, although the road is long and full of unknowns, we believe that light will eventually illuminate every corner." Su Ye replied gently, her voice was like a spring breeze, reassuring.

"That's wonderful! May the light always illuminate your journey." The old man was filled with emotion, and the people around him also applauded, with applause and cheers rising one after another.

Just as they were immersed in this warmth and glory, the ancient book in Li's hand moved again. This time, its light pointed to a corner of the market, where sat an old man in ragged clothes and a weather-beaten face. However, there was a sharpness and wisdom in his eyes that did not match his appearance.

"That book is an ancient relic." The old man suddenly spoke, his voice was vicissitudes and deep, "It guides you here because your journey is not over yet. According to the ancient prophecy, true peace requires more light from every corner of the world."

Passersby heard this and started talking about it. Their expressions changed from initial shock to eager anticipation. (End of this chapter)
