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

Chapter 735 Changes
In the days that followed, the village saw earth-shaking changes. Under the leadership of Su Ye and Qi Meng, the villagers not only rebuilt their homes, but also established a heroic army transformed from ordinary farmers. The youth, now known as the Sons of Light, became their instructors, teaching them combat skills and the ability to protect themselves.

One evening, after the training ended, Su Ye, Qi Meng and the young man sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the rebuilt village and the busy crowd. The setting sun gilded everything with a layer of gold.

"I can't believe that all this started when we decided to help them." Qi Meng said with emotion.

Su Ye chuckled, "Yes, but what moved me even more was that everyone was willing to fight for the light. This power is invincible."

The young man looked at them, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow from a timid boy to a warrior who can protect others."

"You already have such potential, we just help you find a way to release it." Qi Meng encouraged.

At this time, a villager hurried up the mountain and reported breathlessly: "The village chief asked you to see him immediately, saying that there is an emergency."

The three of them looked at each other and immediately got up and rushed to the village chief's hut. The village chief was standing next to an unfolded map with a serious expression.

"We have received news that dark forces are gathering at the border and appear to be planning a large-scale invasion." The village chief's voice was low and urgent.

Su Ye stepped forward and put his hand on the map. "We will face this day sooner or later. Now, we have the Heart of Light and well-trained troops. It's time to show our strength."

"But I'm worried..." The village chief hesitated.

Qi Meng patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, village chief. We are not fighting alone. We have each other, light, and every villager who has hope in his heart."

The young man clenched his fists and said, "I am willing to lead the troops to fight against the darkness. This time, we must take the initiative to prevent the tragedy from happening again."

Su Ye nodded, the flame of battle burning in his eyes, "Yes, we should take the initiative to attack. We should lead the battlefield to them and catch them off guard."

"That's settled then." Qi Meng said firmly, "We'll set out tomorrow morning. We must not only defend our homeland, but also bring light to further places, so that every inch of land shrouded in darkness can see light again."

After the conversation, the three walked out of the village chief's hut. The night sky was dotted with stars, as if foreshadowing that the upcoming battle would be a journey across the sea of ​​stars.

"No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as we are together, there will always be light ahead." Su Ye looked up at the starry sky, his tone full of confidence.

"Light is immortal and hope is everlasting." Qi Meng echoed, with determination also flashing in her eyes.

The young man smiled, showing relief and determination after going through hardships. "Yes, we are messengers of light, and nothing can stop us."

"Li Ji, it seems that your story is far more complicated than we thought." Su Ye put away the map and looked at Li Ji deeply, trying to find the answer on his face.

Li Ji smiled bitterly, put his hands in his pockets, and leaned back slightly, as if recalling the distant past: "My life experience... is indeed a forgotten history. Before I met you, I was just a wanderer, unaware of my own power. However, with the recognition of the Heart of Light, the fragments of the past began to be pieced together in my mind."

Qi Meng heard this and moved closer. Her eyes were full of concern. "So what did you remember?"

"I... I come from an ancient family that has guarded a treasure called the 'Key of Shadow' for generations. It is said that it can open the door to forbidden knowledge." There was a hint of uncertainty in Li Ji's tone, as if even he himself did not dare to fully believe it.

"Forbidden knowledge?" Su Ye raised his eyebrows. This matter didn't sound simple.

"Yes, that knowledge is powerful and dangerous. Once it falls into the hands of the wicked, the consequences will be disastrous. My family suffered a devastating disaster because of this, and only I escaped under the protection of a loyal old servant." Li Ji's eyes flashed with sadness, and then he regained his determination. "Now, the Heart of Light has chosen me. Perhaps this is the turning point of my destiny. I have the responsibility to use this power to stop the coming darkness."

"So, where is the Shadow Key now?" Qi Meng asked. She knew very well that such things would often become the key to war.

"I don't know, but I know that only by solving the mystery left by my family can I find its whereabouts. Those clues are hidden deep in my memory, waiting to be awakened." Li Ji's eyes became deep, as if he was ready to face all challenges.

"Then we will help you find it." Su Ye patted his shoulder, his words full of determination and trust, "The Heart of Light brings us together, so no matter what challenges we face, we must fight side by side."

"Thank you, Su Ye, Qi Meng. With you by my side, I feel like I am no longer a lonely traveler." Li Ji looked at them gratefully, his heart filled with unprecedented warmth.

As night fell, the three returned to the village and began to prepare for the upcoming war. Li Ji began to teach the soldiers more advanced combat skills, while also trying to trace the clues in his memory. Su Ye and Qi Meng acted separately, strengthening the village's fortifications while collecting intelligence about the dark forces.

One night a few days later, Li Ji was studying the ancient documents left by his family in his study. Suddenly, a forgotten memory came flooding back to him. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Found it! The clue to the Shadow Key points to a forgotten relic, where the portal to forbidden knowledge is hidden."

"It's time to set off." Su Ye and Qi Meng rushed over after hearing the news, their eyes also burning with fighting spirit.

The next morning, the three led an elite team and set out on a journey to find the Key of Shadow. On the way, they encountered various challenges, including the difficulties and obstacles of nature and the constant invasion of dark forces, but under the guidance of the Heart of Light, they overcame them one by one, and their strength and faith became stronger in the battle.

Finally, after a fierce duel with the Dark Messenger, Li Ji found the Shadow Key that had been sleeping for a thousand years deep in a hidden cave. When his fingers touched the key, an ancient and powerful force surged out and enveloped his whole body.

"This is... the power of the family." Li Ji's voice echoed in the cave. A huge halo formed around his body, and light and shadow reached a delicate balance on his body.

"It seems that you have inherited the family's legacy, Li Ji." Qi Meng praised, her eyes showing both relief and worry. Su Ye gripped the hilt tightly, his eyes sparkling: "Then, it's time to use this power to protect our world and let the light illuminate every corner forever."

"That's right." Li Ji turned around, and the Key of Shadow in his hand emitted a faint light. "Let us gather the dual power of light and shadow into the most powerful shield to defeat the impending darkness."

"But now, we must proceed with caution." Su Ye reminded, his voice calm and firm, "The power of the Shadow Key is extraordinary, we can't let it fall into the wrong hands."

"I understand." Li Ji nodded, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination, "I will control this power until we find the right way to use it."

"Before that, we need to strengthen our team." Qi Meng suggested, her eyes sparkling with wisdom, "We need more allies. Perhaps it's time to look for those legendary mentors of light who can guide us to better understand and master the power of light."

So, the group split up on the way back. Qi Meng was responsible for contacting possible mentors of light in various places, Su Ye focused on strengthening the team's tactical training, and Li Ji, with the support of Su Ye and Qi Meng, learned how to control the power of the Shadow Key and let it coexist harmoniously with the Heart of Light.

A few weeks later, a series of encrypted messages arrived as promised, indicating the whereabouts of several reclusive bright mentors. Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji set out on a journey again, this time to seek higher levels of power and wisdom.

After crossing the mountains, they finally came to a temple illuminated by the sun forever. There, they met the first mentor of light, the old and solemn Ariana, whose eyes seemed to see through everything.

"Your arrival is both expected and unexpected." Ariana's voice was gentle but full of unquestionable power. "The union of the Heart of Light and the Key of Shadow has been a prophesied event since ancient times. But with great power comes great responsibility."

Under Ariana's guidance, Li Ji learned how to transform the energy of the Shadow Key into a protective force without losing control; Su Ye and Qi Meng also each gained a deeper awakening of light, and their swords and dreams became even more dazzling.

"Remember, true strength comes from the light and love deep in your heart." Aliana reminded them before they left. "When darkness strikes, your unity and faith will be the greatest weapon."

As their journey continued, they visited several other mentors, and each meeting strengthened their strength and made their hearts stronger.

Finally, on the eve of returning to the village, Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji sat by the campfire. Under the starlight, their eyes sparkled with a different light than before.

"After going through so much, I finally understand that light is not just an external force, it is the flame in our hearts that will never go out." Su Ye said softly.

Qi Meng smiled, as if a bright future had been reflected in her dream: "Besides, now we have more. Su Ye, Li Ji, and the allies who will soon join us, we are no longer fighting alone."

Li Ji looked at them, his heart filled with gratitude: "Yes, with you, I am no longer a traveler bound by the past. Now, I am the guardian of light and shadow, and we will write a new chapter in history together."

"A new chapter," Su Ye repeated the word with a smile on his face, "It will surely be full of challenges and brilliance. Every step we take will light up new hope for the world."

"So, what's the next step?" Qi Meng asked, her eyes full of longing and expectation for the future.

"First, we need to consolidate the existing alliance and let the power of light gather into a sea." Su Ye said after pondering for a moment, "Then, we must take the initiative to find the nest of darkness and lead the war to their core."

"That's right." Li Ji nodded in agreement. "Also, I want to explore the mystery of the Shadow Key in depth and learn how to maximize the use of this power without touching the forbidden knowledge."

During the conversation, the night breeze blew gently, and the flames danced with it, as if responding to the ambitions of the three people. The light and shadow of the bonfire were reflected on their young faces, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to this night talk.

"Speaking of allies," Qi Meng suddenly remembered something, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, "I received news that there is a tribe with ancient magic heritage in the northern ice field. They have been guarding a piece of pure land that has not been touched by darkness for generations. If we can win their support, it will undoubtedly bring a qualitative leap in our strength."

"Great!" Su Ye slapped his thigh, "It's settled now. The next target is the northern ice field. We must not only strengthen ourselves, but also expand the influence of light, so that everyone who longs for light can join us."

"But before that," Li Ji added, "we must ensure the safety of the village. We cannot allow darkness to take advantage of our absence."

"Don't worry," Qi Meng smiled, "I have already made arrangements. One of the mentor's disciples will stay here temporarily to help the village chief and villagers strengthen defense until we return."

The plan was set, and the mood of the three people became much more relaxed. They knew that although the road ahead was long and full of unknowns, as long as there was light in their hearts, they could illuminate each other and the road ahead.

"Come to think of it," Su Ye suddenly laughed, breaking the brief silence, "Who would have thought that a few months ago, we were just ordinary people in this small village, but now we have become warriors who resist darkness and protect light."

Qi Meng and Li Ji smiled at each other, and the light in their eyes became brighter. "Maybe this is fate," Qi Meng said softly, "There is a moment in everyone's life when they are chosen to complete an extraordinary mission."

"Then," Li Ji stood up, stretched, and looked up at the distant night sky, "let's get ready to welcome our extraordinary journey."

"Tomorrow, we will head towards the northern ice field." Su Ye stood up, high-fived Li Ji, and then exchanged a firm look with Qi Meng.

The conversation around the campfire came to an end, but the flames in the hearts of the three people burned even more fiercely because of this night's communication. They knew that no matter what the road ahead was like, as long as they were with each other, the light would never go out.

"Good night, my friends." Qi Meng said softly, her smile looked particularly gentle in the night.

"Good night, Qimeng." Su Ye and Li Ji said in unison. Their eyes showed not only anticipation for tomorrow's journey, but also endless trust and dependence on each other.
