Chapter 737 Ordeal
After countless hardships and challenges, they finally collected all three holy relics. On an ancient frozen altar, Eldar appeared again, his face was older, but his eyes were full of relief.

"You have done it, Son of Light." His voice echoed on the wind. "Now, let us open the door to victory together."

As the light of the three holy objects gathered, a crack seemed to appear between heaven and earth, and a brightly lit passage was revealed, which seemed to lead to the ultimate battlefield that would decide the fate of light and darkness.

"It's time," Su Ye clenched the sword in his hand and looked at Qi Meng and Li Ji, "For the sake of light and the world, there is no turning back."

"Together, until the final victory." Qi Meng and Li Ji responded in unison. Their figures gradually disappeared in the light, leaving behind one legend after another, inspiring those who came after them to continue to find their own mission in the struggle between light and darkness.

"Can they really do it?" A young villager looked at the bright passage leading to the unknown, with both worry and expectation in his eyes.

"As long as there is light in your heart, there are infinite possibilities." The old man spoke slowly, his eyes piercing through time and space, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope for the future, "And their story has just begun..."

…Just as everyone was immersed in endless reverie about the heroic deeds of the three people, a subtle but firm voice penetrated the noisy discussions.

"If they can do it, why can't we?" This is a young girl, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, a spark of desire and challenge. "I want to follow in their footsteps and become the next light that illuminates the darkness."

The conversations of the people around them suddenly stopped, and all eyes were focused on the girl who suddenly stood up. Some of the crowd were encouraging, some were worried, but more of them were awakened by a resonance.

"I am willing to do so too." A young man stepped forward, with a totem symbolizing courage wrapped around his arm. "Although we are not as good as them, everyone has a fire in their hearts to fight against darkness."

"Yes! We can form a new team, learn from their spirit, and continue to bring light to the world." Another person responded excitedly. These words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

The villagers began to talk about it, some hesitant, some excited, but there was no doubt that the deeds of Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji had sown the seeds of hope in their hearts.

At this time, the old man who had prayed silently when Su Ye and others left slowly approached the girl, with a kind smile on his face, "Child, it is a good thing to have dreams and have the courage to pursue them. But remember, the road to light is never easy. It requires endless courage, persistence, and most importantly - trust in your companions."

"I understand, Grandpa." The girl answered firmly, her eyes becoming more resolute, "We may be weak, but we are willing to give everything we have for the light."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, turned to the crowd and announced: "In this case, let us prepare together for these brave younger generations and give them support and blessings. Perhaps, the next legend will be written by them."

Under the witness of everyone, a new team began to prepare. Among them were former farmers, craftsmen, and even children. Everyone had a desire for light and a determination to fight against darkness. Although their abilities varied, they believed that as long as they held light in their hearts, even the weakest light could gather into a dazzling galaxy.

"Then let us set off, for light and for the future." The girl shouted loudly. Although her voice was not loud, it aroused the fighting spirit hidden in the hearts of everyone present.

As this new team set out on their journey, the entire tribe and even further afield were surrounded by a sentiment called "hope." People began to spread the word that the story of light had not ended, but continued to bloom on the earth in a brand new form.

"Look, it's not just them, each of us can become a messenger of light." Someone in the crowd sighed. Although the voice was small, it was like a seed, quietly planted in everyone's heart.

"Everyone be careful, there is an ambush!" Before Su Ye finished speaking, the sound of arrows breaking through the air broke the silence. Then, a figure jumped out from the shadows, with the long sword in his hand pointing directly at Su Ye's vitals.

"Liszt! How could you..." Qi Meng shouted in disbelief. The traitor in front of her was actually her former buddy who fought side by side with her.

"Haha, Heart of Light? What a ridiculous lie." Liszt sneered, his eyes flashing with greed and madness, "What I pursue is real power, not illusory faith."

Li Ji quickly stood in front of Su Ye who was injured and fell to the ground. The Shadow Key emitted a dark light and confronted him vigilantly: "Liszt, it's time to turn back. Don't let the darkness devour your soul."

"It's too late," Liszt waved his sword disdainfully, stirring up a gust of wind. "From today on, there will be only one voice in the Frozen Realm, and that's me, Liszt, the new Shadow King!"

The battle was about to start. Qi Meng used the Dance of Dreams to create numerous phantoms to confuse the enemy and buy time for her teammates. Li Ji flexibly used the Key of Shadow to not only attack the enemy but also to heal Su Ye's wounds. The three of them cooperated well, but they still seemed to be struggling in the face of Lister's powerful strength.

"Hold on, we must find a way out." Su Ye endured the pain and looked around, trying to find a flaw.

Suddenly, a deep and majestic voice sounded in their hearts: "Children, don't give up. The Heart of Light is always with you."

There was a flash of light, and Elda's figure reappeared. He waved his hand gently, and a warm light fell on the three people. Their injuries miraculously began to heal.

"Use the power of the holy relic to purify the darkness in your heart, Lister." Elda's voice carried an irresistible force.

Liszt's expression changed, and he seemed to be struggling, but in the end, his desire for power made him choose to refuse: "No way, I will never give up everything that is about to be obtained!"

The battle escalated again. Just as everyone was trying their best, an unexpected turn of events occurred. A figure descended from the sky, holding a spear shining with mysterious runes, and easily neutralized Lister's fatal blow. The person who came was actually a member of the caravan. The boy who had been unknown before now exuded a brilliance that did not belong to ordinary people.

"My name is Su Ye," he said calmly, "I am the guardian of light, and the one who will fight alongside you in the prophecy."

Liszt's pupils shrank suddenly. Facing the sudden strong enemy, he felt unprecedented pressure. In this delicate balance, Qi Meng caught the opportunity to counterattack. A ray of dream light shot out and hit Liszt's chest, temporarily trapping him in the dream. "We have to leave quickly. Liszt's power comes from the heart of darkness. He won't be trapped for too long." Su Ye said anxiously.

The four of them quickly evacuated, with Lister's angry roar behind them. They knew that this battle was only a temporary victory, and greater challenges were waiting ahead.

In a hidden cave, everyone took a short break. Su Ye talked about his identity and mission as the guardian of light, and the reason why he was chosen to help them fight against the darkness.

"I see. Welcome to join, Su Ye." Su Ye stretched out his hand with a smile. Su Ye held it tightly. The team of four became stronger with the addition of new members.

"But the problem of Liszt has not been solved yet," Qi Meng frowned, "He is one of us, but now he is standing on the opposite side."

"Indeed," Su Ye pondered for a moment, "We need to find a way to completely solve the dark erosion. At the same time, we must guard against the possible threats from Lister."

As night fell, there was a biting cold wind outside the cave, but it was warm as spring inside. The four of them sat together, and the trust and strength between them formed an invisible barrier.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, we will face it together." Su Ye's firm words, like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm everyone's heart.

"Yes," Su Ye continued, "As long as there is light in your heart, darkness will have nowhere to hide."

"Then, tomorrow we will continue to move forward and find a way to purify Liszt's soul." There was an unyielding light in Qimeng's eyes.

"Together, until light dispels the last trace of darkness." Li Ji's tone was steady, and the Shadow Key in his hand glowed faintly, as if responding to his oath.

Under the deep night sky, the team traveled on the winding mountain road. The mottled moonlight cast a mysterious hue on this unknown journey. Su Ye walked in front, looking back from time to time to check on his companions. Since Su Ye joined, the team's strength has undoubtedly been strengthened, but everyone's anxiety about the upcoming challenges has not diminished at all.

"Stop and rest. The terrain here is hidden and suitable for reorganization." Qi Meng said softly, with a hint of imperceptible worry in her voice. Although Li Ji's injury was stabilized with the help of Elda, the long journey undoubtedly increased his burden.

They found a relatively flat place and sat in a circle. The tense atmosphere seemed to ease a little under the light of the campfire. Su Ye took out herbs from his bag and carefully treated Li Ji's wound. Every move was extremely careful. "Bear with it, Li Ji. This herb can relieve your pain and speed up your recovery." His words were gentle and firm, and seemed to have the power to soothe people.

Su Ye frowned, his eyes drifting towards the dark night sky from time to time, as if he could see the crisis hidden in the dark. "We don't have much time. Liszt may catch up at any time. We must find a purification method as soon as possible." His voice was low, revealing a determination that could not be disobeyed.

"There is a place where you may find the answer." Qi Meng suddenly spoke, her face solemn, and it was obvious that this decision was not easy. "That is the secret place that appeared many times in my dreams, called the 'Spring of the Soul'. Legend has it that it can wash away all darkness and filth, but the place where it is located is extremely dangerous and few people can find it."

"No matter how dangerous it is, we must try." Su Ye immediately stood up, his tone firm, his eyes burning with unyielding fire. "Let's go, let's go find the Fountain of the Soul."

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the winding mountain road, the group had already set out on the journey to the Fountain of the Soul. The journey was long and arduous. They passed through a forest covered with poison ivy and crossed a turbulent river. Every step was full of unknowns and challenges.

Just when they were about to fall into despair, a strange sea of ​​flowers appeared before their eyes. The colorful flowers emitted a soft light, and the air was filled with a breath that could make people's hearts peaceful. "This is it." Qi Meng said softly, her tone full of awe.

Deep in the center of the sea of ​​flowers, a clear spring water lay quietly there. The air around it seemed to be trembling slightly, filled with a sacred and inviolable atmosphere. "The spring of the soul." Su Ye whispered, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Just as Su Ye was about to take Li Ji to the spring, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and Liszt suddenly appeared in front of them, his eyes full of bloodshot, revealing madness and obsession. "Want to purify me? Dream on!" He roared, with black magic wrapped around him.

The battle broke out again, and this time, Liszt's power seemed to become even more terrifying because of the hatred in his heart. Su Ye took the brunt of the attack and confronted Liszt head-on with his spear, while Qi Meng and Su Ye were responsible for protecting Li Ji from approaching the spring.

"Li Ji, hurry!" Su Ye shouted loudly, using his sword to parry Liszt's crazy attack. Li Ji endured the severe pain and stumbled towards the spring. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles, both his reluctance to leave his companions and his fear of his possible future fate.

At this critical moment, a beam of dazzling light rose from the spring water and rushed into the sky. The light seemed to have the power to purify everything and instantly illuminated everyone's heart. Liszt's figure trembled in the light, and his soul, which was corroded by darkness, seemed to be experiencing a painful baptism.

"No!" Liszt roared unwillingly, but his voice was soon drowned out by the light. When the light faded, everyone saw Liszt kneeling on the ground, the madness in his eyes replaced by clarity, as if he had found his long-lost self.

"What...what did I do?" He looked up blankly, tears of regret flashing in his eyes.

Su Ye stepped forward and stretched out a hand, his eyes full of forgiveness and understanding: "It's good that you're back, Liszt. We are all travelers wandering between darkness and light."

With the return of Liszt, the team was reorganized, and everyone learned valuable lessons from this experience. The Fountain of the Soul not only purified Liszt, but also sublimated the souls of everyone, and strengthened their belief in fighting against darkness and protecting light.

"We are the messengers of light." Li Ji said softly, with an unprecedented determination flashing in his eyes.

"That's right," Su Ye smiled and looked into the distance, "No matter how many difficulties are waiting for us in the future, as long as we walk side by side, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

"Now, it's time to continue our journey." Qi Meng looked up at the sky, which was a vast expanse of blue, as if foreshadowing a new beginning. "There are more people who need us, and more darkness waiting to be dispelled."
