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

Just as they were about to leave the mysterious valley, a burst of hurried footsteps accompanied by panting came from not far away. A young man, with a panicked look and disheveled clothes, was obviously running all the way. He saw Su Ye and the others, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had found a life-saving driftwood in the vast ocean.

“You… you must be those legendary heroes! Please, help our village! The forces of darkness are approaching, and we have no power to resist…” The young man spoke with tears in his voice, and there was a last glimmer of hope in his despair.

Su Ye frowned upon hearing this and turned to his teammates: "We can't just sit back and watch. If the prophecy is true, then it is our responsibility to protect every innocent person."

Aiden nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Su Ye is right, our journey is not only to find strength, but also to spread light. Now, let us bring light to that village."

The group quickly followed the young man to the village, their hearts full of premonitions of the upcoming challenges. On the way, Aiden constantly used magic to scout the surroundings to ensure that there were no ambushes. Passerby A and B followed closely behind, their eyes firm, no longer timid as they were at the beginning, they had become true warriors.

Arriving at the village, I saw that the villagers were busy reinforcing the fortifications, and the women and children were placed in the central area. Seeing Su Ye and his group's arrival, the crowd burst into amazement and gratitude.

"Look, it's them! I heard they're not even afraid of the Shadow Legion!"

"I can't believe that the legendary hero has come to our little place."

"Perhaps, we still have hope..."

Su Ye smiled and nodded to the villagers, then walked straight to the village chief and said, "Tell us what to do. Time is running out and we must act immediately."

The village chief showed a grateful smile on his old face, briefly introduced the situation, and led them to check the defense line. At Su Ye's suggestion, everyone used the power of crystal to set up multiple defenses, and Aiden guided the villagers to set simple traps to improve their response capabilities.

As night fell, the dark forces arrived as promised. This time, they faced an unprecedented number of enemies. However, Su Ye and his men did not retreat, but faced the challenge head-on.

During the battle, Passerby used his newly awakened power to create a solid wall of light to resist wave after wave of attacks. Aiden shuttled across the battlefield, releasing destructive spells to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Su Ye, holding a long sword, led the villagers, repeatedly defeated the enemy with extraordinary courage and tactical command.

As the battle continued, the villagers gradually changed from panic at the beginning to brave resistance. They witnessed with their own eyes that these outsiders were willing to do anything to protect their homes, and the fear in their hearts was replaced by faith and courage.

"We can win!" Passerby A waved a wooden stick. Although it was simple, it managed to repel several enemies.

"That's right, because we are not fighting alone!" a young villager responded loudly, followed by shouts of agreement from the surrounding area.

At this moment, a huge black shadow descended from the sky, and it was obviously the enemy leader himself. Its appearance suddenly made the atmosphere on the battlefield tense, and everyone felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Su Ye steadied himself and calmly said to his teammates, "Let's distract it, Aiden prepares for the strongest attack."

The plan was executed neatly. Su Ye and passersby A and B attracted the leader's attention, and Aiden concentrated all his magic power at the critical moment and fired a bright beam of light, hitting the enemy's vital point. With a deafening sound, the behemoth fell down, and the dark forces collapsed.

The battle was over, and the night sky returned to tranquility again, with twinkling stars, as if applauding the victory. The villagers surrounded Su Ye and his team, with words of gratitude and cheers coming one after another.

"You are not only heroes, you are our saviors!"

"Thank you for giving us hope and letting us know that the light is never far away."

Su Ye shook his head gently, smiling warmly and modestly: "Each of us has light in our hearts, and it is our joint efforts that illuminate this darkness. Remember, the real power comes from yourselves."

Aiden patted the shoulder of a young villager next to him and encouraged him: "Today, each of you has proved your courage. Protecting our homeland is not only our mission, but also everyone's responsibility. Keep persevering, and light will always shine in the darkest moment."

Passerby A looked up at the starry sky, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination: "I used to think that I was just an insignificant traveler, but after going through all this, I know that everyone can become a part of the change. I will keep this experience in mind and move on."

Passerby B was filled with emotion and said to his friend beside him: "We not only brought them light, but they also taught us what persistence and courage are. This is a two-way rescue, and I am proud of it."

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, a deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded in Su Ye's heart. It was the echo of the old man at the altar: "Remember what I said before. The road ahead is still long. You will encounter more challenges and will also have new allies."

Su Ye closed his eyes, a new determination surged in his heart: "We are ready. No matter what the future holds, as long as there is light in our hearts, the road is ahead."

That night, Su Ye and his friends sat around the campfire to discuss the next plan. In the distance, a mysterious traveler approached quietly. He was dressed strangely and exuded an indescribable aura, as if he did not belong to this world.

"I heard your story, it's very interesting." The traveler's voice penetrated the night and attracted everyone's attention. "My name is Chaos, a wandering bard, and also a traveler in pursuit of the truth. Perhaps our paths can intersect, and we can search for the secrets hidden in the world together."

Aiden stood up alertly, his hand gently pressing on the hilt of the sword: "What is your intention? We don't welcome unidentified people to approach us."

Chaos smiled and took out a small flute from his sleeve. The melodious music floated in the night sky. Strangely, the music seemed to have magical power, which made people feel peaceful. "My purpose is simple, to record the great things in the world and witness the battle between light and darkness. Perhaps, I can add some strength to your journey."

Passerby B asked curiously: "Can you help us fight against the dark forces?" "My power is not for direct combat, but I know many ancient secrets and forgotten knowledge, and that knowledge may be exactly what you need." A mysterious light flashed in Chaos' eyes.

Su Ye stared at him and finally nodded: "Welcome, Chaos. In this world full of unknowns, every travel companion who is willing to fight for light is a precious treasure."

Then, a new member joined their ranks. When the first ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and illuminated the earth, Su Ye and his group embarked on a new journey with Chaos, with the grateful villagers and the lights of rekindled hope behind them.

"Where are we going next?" Aiden asked, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.

"The destination is the Shadow Forest, where ancient ruins are hidden. It is said that they are closely related to the source of light." Su Ye answered, his tone revealing his curiosity and determination about the unknown. "We have to find it. Perhaps it can reveal more secrets about light and darkness and provide us with more clues to fight against the forces of darkness."

Passerby A looked at Chaos and asked curiously: "Chaos, as a wandering bard, have you ever heard of the legend of the Shadow Forest during your journey?"

Chaos closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the distant past. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "The Shadow Forest is a place surrounded by ancient magic. It is said that there live creatures that guard time and space. Few people dare to go deep into it, let alone return with their sanity. However, I have also heard that there is a door hidden deep in the forest. That door connects the past and the future, and the boundary between light and darkness becomes blurred there. If we can find that door, maybe we can open a brand new path for us."

Hearing this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Passerby B's eyes: "That door doesn't sound like something that can be touched easily. Are we sure we want to do this?"

"We must try," Aiden said firmly, "Every risky step may be the key to victory. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Their conversation attracted the attention of passers-by. An old man came forward and gently placed his wrinkled hand on Su Ye's arm: "Go, brave children. Although the Shadow Forest is full of dangers, if such a door really exists, it may be the key to your changing the world. With all of our hopes and blessings, uncover the forgotten secret."

With the reluctant farewell of the villagers, Su Ye and his party set out on the road to the Shadow Forest. Along the way, they encountered various challenges, from monsters lurking in the fog to intricate mazes, and each test made them stronger and closer.

During a break, Chaos took out his small flute and played a distant tune. The melody contained an inspiring power that seemed to dispel all the fatigue and fear of the journey. Passersby all showed admiration and appreciation after hearing it.

"You are such a magical traveler, Chaos." Passerby A exclaimed, "Your music allows us to find light even on the darkest road."

"Everyone has a song in their heart, waiting to be awakened." Chaos smiled, "And my mission is to awaken these dormant powers with music."

When they finally reached the edge of the Shadow Forest, the sight before them shocked everyone: towering ancient trees were entwined with vines, strange spots of light flickered between the treetops, and it seemed that every inch of land was telling an ancient story.

"The feeling here is different from other places." Aiden looked around vigilantly, the magic in his hand ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Su Ye clenched his sword, his eyes firm: "No matter what happens, we can't give up. For the sake of light, for those who are still struggling in the darkness, we must move forward."

They stepped into the forest carefully and soon found that the time here was different from the outside world. There seemed to be no boundary between day and night, and the sense of direction became blurred. Just as the group was trying to identify the direction, a slight call floated in the wind, as if guiding them.

"Follow the sound." Su Ye whispered, and the team followed the mysterious guidance deep into the forest.

After some twists and turns in their exploration, they came to an open area with a door made of light in the center. It was the door that Chaos had described, connecting the past and the future. However, the door was surrounded by a group of creatures of various shapes, who seemed to be guarding it.

"It seems that we are not alone." Passerby B whispered nervously.

"But there is no turning back." Su Ye responded firmly. He took a step forward and said to those creatures, "We are not here to destroy. We seek knowledge to protect this world from darkness. Please allow us to pass."

Surprisingly, one of the creatures that seemed to be the leader actually nodded slowly and made way. As the door slowly opened, an ancient and powerful energy surged out and enveloped them.

On the other side of the door was a strange space where light and darkness intertwined, where time seemed to have lost its meaning. Su Ye, Aiden, Passerby A and B, and Chaos stepped into this unknown area, and the surrounding scenes kept changing, and fragments of history passed before their eyes like slides.

"This is... the corridor of time." Chaos exclaimed in amazement. The flute in his hand automatically emitted a soft resonance, as if there was some connection with this place.

Aiden gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and looked around vigilantly: "How can we find the secrets about light and darkness? Everything here seems so chaotic."

Suddenly, an old and gentle voice sounded in their ears: "Those who seek knowledge, you have stood at the crossroads of fate. Tell me, why have you come?"

Everyone looked around, but there was no sign of the person who had spoken. Su Ye took a step forward and said loudly: "In order to solve the mystery of light and darkness and to protect our world from the erosion of darkness, we are eager to learn and to have power."

The voice chuckled, and then, a burst of light flashed, and an old man in a cloak appeared in front of them out of thin air. His face was kind, but his eyes flashed with wisdom beyond time: "Very good, it has been a long time since a traveler has come here. I am the guardian of time, responsible for guarding this holy place that connects the past and the future. Since you have justice in your hearts, I am willing to give you guidance."

Passerby A couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, how can we defeat the dark force that is covering the world?"

The Time Keeper closed his eyes slightly, as if searching his memory: "Darkness originates from the greed and fear of the human heart. Only by finding the light within can we truly fight against the darkness outside. And in this space and time, there is a long-lost treasure hidden, called the 'Heart Lamp'. Legend has it that it can guide the holder to see into the deepest part of the soul and release endless light power." (End of this chapter)
