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

Chapter 748 Dawn
During the escape, Qi Meng's consciousness gradually blurred, and the only sound she could hear was Li Ji's firm and powerful heartbeat. She forced herself to open her eyes and whispered, "Li Ji, don't stop. For the sake of the Forgotten City, we must find the source of all this."

Li Ji nodded, without slowing down, and silently prayed in his heart, hoping to find a way to treat Qi Meng in time. Finally, when the first rays of dawn broke through the sky, they returned to the Forgotten City and headed straight for the medical camp.

"Hurry up! We need immediate medical treatment!" Li Ji's voice echoed in the camp, causing a panic. Several senior doctors quickly gathered around and checked Qi Meng's injuries with serious expressions.

"We have never seen such a cursed injury..." A doctor shook his head and sighed, seeming helpless.

Just when everyone was at a loss, an old and majestic voice sounded: "Perhaps, the ancient books of the wise can provide clues." Everyone turned around and saw a white-bearded old man slowly walking towards them, holding a dusty book in his hand.

After some research, the old man found the corresponding record: "To purify this shadow wound, you must find the 'Heart of Dawn', a rare flower that only blooms in the legendary Land of Dawn."

"Heart of Dawn... No matter where it is, I will not give up." Li Ji's eyes were firm and unwavering. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into the legendary brave man, fearless for the sake of his beloved.

Qi Meng opened her eyes slightly, held Li Ji's hand, and smiled weakly: "I believe you, Li Ji. But remember, your safety is equally important."

"I promise you, we will all come back safely." Li Ji responded gently, and their hands were tightly clasped, as if no force could separate them.

With the blessings and reluctance of everyone, Li Ji embarked on a journey to find the "Heart of Dawn". This time, he not only wanted to lift Qi Meng's curse, but also to prove that in the Forgotten City, heroes are never alone, and they will face every challenge together until the end of the world.

Night falls again. By the bonfire of the Forgotten City, there are no more Li Ji and Qi Meng, but more determination and hope. The children sit around the bonfire, telling the legends of the heroes, their eyes sparkling with yearning for the unknown world.

"When Brother Li Ji and Sister Qi Meng come back, I want to go on an adventure with them!" A childish voice sounded, full of longing.

"Yes, we must walk the road ahead together." Another child echoed. Under the light of the fire, every little face looked exceptionally resolute.

In the distance, the legendary land of dawn is hidden between fog and steep mountains. Li Ji's journey is full of unknowns and challenges. Whenever night falls, he will sit by the simple campfire and talk softly to the starry sky, as if the beautiful dream is right beside him.

"Qi Meng, no matter how difficult the road is, I will find that rare flower and bring it back to you." Li Ji's words were filled with unyielding determination. Even in the face of loneliness and danger, his heart was still warm because Qi Meng's smile and deep trust supported him.

Meanwhile, in the Forgotten City, Qi Meng's condition concerns everyone. Doctors study day and night, trying all possible treatments, and Qi Meng, lying on the sickbed, although physically weak, always maintains her belief in Li Ji's return and her care for the city.

"Please tell everyone for me that no matter what happens, we must maintain hope and keep moving forward." Qi Meng said to the young doctor waiting beside her. Although her voice was weak, the power she conveyed infected everyone.

As time goes by, Li Ji experiences countless challenges and battles, from cunning goblins to ferocious forest beasts, and every crisis makes him more resilient. During this long journey, he also meets like-minded partners - Alia, a wandering wizard proficient in ancient magic, and Su Ye, a young man with extraordinary skills who aspires to become a ranger.

"Li Ji, I feel a strong magical aura. The 'Heart of Dawn' should be just ahead." Arya pointed to the valley covered by the glow of the sunset ahead, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"Well, we have no time to waste." Li Ji said firmly, and they quickened their pace, their hearts filled with desire for victory.

Finally, they overcame many difficulties and came to a strange garden, where a flower as bright as the sun grew - "Heart of Dawn". When Li Ji carefully picked it, the whole garden seemed to tremble, releasing a warm and soft light.

At the same time, the sky of the Forgotten City suddenly became unusually bright, and a meteor streaked across the sky. People looked up, their hearts filled with unspoken expectations.

When Li Ji rushed back to the Forgotten City with the "Heart of Dawn", he was greeted not only by cheers but also endless emotions. Surrounded by the crowd, Qi Meng slowly opened her eyes and saw Li Ji, who had returned from a long journey, holding the miracle flower.

"You did it, Li Ji." Qi Meng's tears slid silently, feeling both pain and joy.

The healing ceremony was held under the attention of the whole city. As the light of the Heart of Dawn was injected into Qi Meng's body, the shadow wound gradually faded, replaced by the vitality and light of life. People cheered and celebrated this incredible miracle.

After the ceremony, Li Ji and Qi Meng stood on the city wall, overlooking the city they loved so much. As the sun set, the golden sunlight shone on them, and everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

"This time, we not only defeated the darkness, but also found our own light." Qi Meng said softly.

"That's right, Qimeng, and we have a bigger home." Li Ji hugged her with gentle eyes.

"Li Ji, what do you think we will encounter next?" Qi Meng asked with a smile, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.

"No matter what, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible." Li Ji's answer was firm and warm. The two smiled at each other, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.

Just as they were immersed in this tranquility, a mysterious messenger quietly arrived and handed over a sealed letter with an ancient seal engraved on it. Li Ji took the letter, and an inexplicable premonition surged in his heart, and he gently opened it.

"This is... an invitation from a distant land. It seems that a greater adventure is waiting for us." Li Ji read out the contents of the letter and looked at Qi Meng with curiosity and challenge in his eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed across Qi Meng's face, and then turned into determination: "No matter what the road ahead is, I am willing to fight alongside you and explore the unknown."

"Then let's get ready to set off and inform Alia and Su Ye that they are also an indispensable part of this journey." Li Ji suggested, his tone full of confidence.

They returned to the camp and informed the new members of the camp. Alia's blue eyes sparkled with a desire for ancient magic knowledge, while Su Ye was ready to go, his eyes burning with infinite enthusiasm for adventure.

"A new adventure? It sounds so exciting!" Su Ye shouted excitedly, the dagger in his hand shining coldly in the setting sun.

Arya was calmer: "An invitation from afar often hides unknown secrets and powers. We must be fully prepared." When the residents of the Forgotten City learned that Li Ji and Qi Meng were about to embark on a new journey, they came to see them off, with blessings and instructions coming one after another.

"You must come back safely, Brother Li Ji and Sister Qi Meng!" A little girl tugged at the corner of Qi Meng's clothes, her eyes full of reluctance.

"We will, and please take good care of our home." Qi Meng bent down and touched the little girl's head, promising gently.

Amidst the blessings, the four of them embarked on a journey to a distant land, with curiosity about the unknown but also some anxiety in their hearts.

On the way, they passed through dark forests, crossed mountains, and met several mysterious travelers who were also invited. These travelers each had their own unique skills, some were good at invisibility, and some were proficient in element control. Their joining undoubtedly made the team more diverse and powerful.

"It seems that we are not the only ones who have received invitations." Li Ji looked at this group of new partners, his eyes revealing his anticipation for the upcoming challenges.

A tall and burly man with rock-gray skin patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "My name is Rock Shield, and I'm an elemental messenger. As long as I'm here, anyone who wants to hurt us must first ask my fist."

A pretty woman in black robes nodded slightly and said, "I am Shadow, and I am good at hiding and gathering intelligence. If there is anything secretive on this trip, I might be able to help."

As the team grows, their stories and skills are intertwined to form a close network, and their mutual trust and friendship gradually deepen through repeated experiences.

During a short break, Arya flipped through the ancient book she brought from the Forgotten City and suddenly exclaimed, "This book mentions some clues about the destination. It is said that there is a magical artifact there that can balance the elements of the world and even change fate."

This sentence aroused everyone's curiosity and heated discussion, and everyone was full of more expectations and speculations about the upcoming adventure.

Finally, after going through numerous hardships and dangers, they arrived at their destination - a hidden valley protected by ancient magic. In the valley, an ancient temple stood quietly, surrounded by natural elemental wonders, as if all the power between heaven and earth gathered here.

"It seems that our destination is here." Li Ji looked around with a determined gaze.

"But there is an unusual aura here, we must be careful." Qi Meng reminded, placing her hand lightly on the hilt of the sword, alert to any movement around her.

Just as they were about to step into the temple to explore more secrets, a deep and majestic voice came from all directions, echoing in everyone's ears: "Brave travelers, welcome to the crossroads of destiny. Your choice will determine the future of the world."

"Who is talking?" Su Ye looked around vigilantly, his weapon tightly gripped in his hands, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Don't panic, I think we've been noticed." Arya said softly, her fingertips dancing lightly, ready to summon defensive spells at any time.

"Show yourself. No matter who you are, since you have led us here, you must be asking for something." Li Ji stepped forward, his calm voice filled with unquestionable firmness.

With a slight wave, the air seemed to be torn apart by some force, and a mysterious man wearing a cloak and with an unclear face slowly emerged. "I am the Watcher, guarding the secrets and balance here. Each of you has a desire for power and an exploration of the unknown in your heart, and this is what I expect."

"Power? Exploration?" Qi Meng frowned slightly. "We are just following the guidance of our hearts, hoping to bring peace and light to this world."

The Watcher smiled slightly, his voice full of ancient wisdom: "It is this purity that allows you to stand at the threshold of destiny. But remember, every power is accompanied by responsibility and sacrifice. Are you ready?"

Although passers-by around could not witness this scene, they seemed to feel the strange atmosphere and were whispering and talking about it.

"Look over there, is something going to happen?" A passerby pointed in the direction of the temple, his eyes full of surprise.

“Yeah, that power…it feels like even the air is vibrating,” another person echoed, with awe in his eyes.

"I wish I could be a hero like that..." A child's voice mixed in, full of envy.

At the entrance of the temple, Li Ji exchanged glances with his companions. No need to say more, they already understood each other. "We are ready to move forward fearlessly for everything we love."

"Then follow me and unveil the veil of fate." The watcher turned and led them into the temple, a corridor where light and shadow intertwined, and every step seemed to cross time and space.

As they go deeper, they encounter a series of trials, each of which tests their wisdom, courage and trust in each other. In these trials, they not only discover strengths they have never known, but also deeply understand the meaning of teamwork.

Finally, the group arrived at the core of the temple - a radiant hall with a dazzling gem suspended in the center. It was the legendary artifact that could balance all things and rewrite fate.

"This... is our goal?" Su Ye looked at the gem in disbelief, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"It's not just a goal, it's also a test." The voice of the Watcher echoed in the empty hall. "True power comes from the choices you make within your heart. You must decide together whether this power should be used to protect or to conquer."

"We choose to protect." Li Ji said firmly, and the others nodded in agreement. Their determination resonated throughout the hall like a resonance.

"Very good." The figure of the watcher gradually faded away, leaving behind a sentence that echoed: "Remember, no matter when, don't forget your original intention. The road ahead is full of variables, and your choice will affect everything."
