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

Chapter 800 Chen Si

"Are you ready, everyone?" Su Zhe held the hilt tightly, his eyes like a torch, scanning each of his companions. Their responses were silent but firm, a tacit understanding formed after countless times of sharing hardships.

The moment they stepped into the ruins, time seemed to stand still, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the empty space. The stone walls around them were engraved with long-forgotten runes, emitting a faint fluorescence, guiding them in the direction.

"Look at these patterns. I have seen similar descriptions in ancient books. They seem to be telling a lost history." The wizard pointed at the carvings on the stone wall, his eyes flashing with a gleam of curiosity.

Xiaojie followed closely behind, feeling amazed and awed by these mysterious symbols, "It's so magical, it's like walking into a living storybook."

Leah looked around vigilantly to ensure their safety. "Be careful, although it looks quiet here, I always feel like there is something watching from the dark."

The new traveler also showed his value at this time. He pointed to a seemingly insignificant piece of ground and said, "There are footprints here, and they are very fresh, which means we are not the only ones who have visited recently."

The Balancer woman nodded slightly, with a sly smile on her face. "Then let's see who is following us in secret."

As they went deeper, the structure of the ruins became more and more complex, and the maze-like passages made it easy for people to get lost. Just then, a low roar came from the depths, shaking the air and shocking their hearts.

"What's that sound?" Xiaojie asked nervously, his hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword.

"It sounds like a mechanism being activated." The wizard pondered for a moment and quickly flipped through the ancient book in his hand. "According to records, there was once a secret passage leading to the underground world, guarded by powerful magic. If that sound is the secret passage opening..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a beam of strong light burst out from it, illuminating the entire space like daylight. In the astonished eyes of the crowd, a radiant object slowly rose up. It was the legendary artifact of light.

"It's unbelievable, it really exists!" Leia muttered to herself, the sword in her hand seeming dim under the brilliance of the artifact.

"The artifact... This is something we have always dreamed of, but it may also bring disaster." Su Zhe said in a heavy tone, staring at the artifact with complicated eyes, "We must handle it with caution."

At this moment, a sneer broke the tranquility of the ruins, "Humph, I didn't expect you to really find it. However, if you want to take it away, ask me first if I agree."

A figure walked out of the shadows. It was the old enemy of Su Zhe and others, a conspirator who had been secretly obstructing their actions.

"It's you!" Xiaojie shouted angrily, gripping his sword tightly.

"It looks like our journey will have another mission, and that is to get rid of you once and for all." The Balancer woman said coldly, her figure disappearing into the shadows, ready to catch the enemy off guard.

A fierce battle unfolded in the ruins, with the exclamations and encouraging words of passers-by echoing in their minds, motivating Su Zhe and his men to fight to the end.

"Come on, Lightbringers! You are the hope for all of us!"

"We must win, for the light, for tomorrow!"

At the climax of the battle, Su Zhe faced his old enemy head-on. As swords crossed, he seemed to hear the wind around him cheering for him, and every heart was beating for the victory of light.

"Let's end it." Su Zhe whispered, and swung his sword. The light was bright and completely defeated the opponent's shadow.

The battle was over, and they finally obtained the artifact of light. But on the way back, Su Zhe felt an unprecedented burden.

"Now, where should we go?" Xiaojie looked at the artifact, his eyes full of confusion.

Su Zhe looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with complex light, "The power of the artifact of light is far beyond imagination. It belongs to everyone and should not be monopolized by anyone. We must find a way to let its power benefit the world while avoiding causing new disputes."

"That's a difficult task." The Balancer woman chuckled, but her eyes showed endless trust and support. "However, with us together, nothing is impossible."

The wizard slowly closed the ancient book in his hand and said firmly, "We are the messengers of light. Let history bear witness to this moment. We will usher in a new era."

Leah gripped her sword tightly, her eyes firm, "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will walk with you."

The new traveler bowed deeply, "Thank you for allowing me to participate in this legend. My sword and heart are with you."

Just as they vowed to bring light to the world, a strange wave surged out from the artifact, surrounded them, and then turned into streaks of light, gradually reflecting under everyone's skin, as if establishing some kind of mysterious connection with them.

"This is..." Su Zhe lowered his head and examined the faint light pattern on his wrist, feeling both surprised and puzzled.

The Balancer woman gently stroked the same mark on her arm, her eyes becoming deep: "It seems that the artifact has chosen us. This power is both a gift and a test."

The wizard studied his mark carefully, a rare smile on his face: "This may be the answer. Through us, the power of the artifact will be spread in the most appropriate way, rather than being concentrated on a single existence."

Leah gripped the hilt tightly, light patterns flowed along the blade, and the sword edge was sharper than before: "No matter what this power means, I will use it to cut off the darkness and protect the innocent."

Xiaojie looked around and clenched his fists excitedly: "Not only have we found the artifact, but we have also been chosen to be its guardian!"

The new traveler also felt the change, and his eyes flashed with determination: "I will use this power to prove that I am worthy of fighting alongside you."

Just as they were immersed in their newfound power and responsibility, a crack suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and stormy black clouds rolled in, covering the sky and the sun. An extremely depressing atmosphere quickly enveloped the earth.

"What is that?" Xiao Jie pointed to the sky in shock. The villagers' screams of fear came one after another, breaking the brief silence.

"The dark forces have sensed the power of the artifact... They will not sit idly by." The mage's face was solemn, and he hurriedly flipped through the ancient books to find a solution. The Balancer woman quickly looked around and said in a deep voice: "We must act immediately and find a way to spread light. Otherwise, the world will face an unprecedented crisis."

Su Zhe looked up at the sky, his eyes becoming extremely firm: "We are the messengers of light. No matter what challenges we face, we must not retreat. Now that we have the power of the artifact, we must bring light to every corner and dispel all the darkness."

As they were about to leave the ruins, an old man walked out of the crowd and tremblingly handed over an old parchment scroll: "This... This is a prophecy about the artifact of light that has been kept by my family for generations. It says that when the messengers of light gather and the artifact is revived, the real trial has just begun... Please accept it, it may guide you in the right direction."

Su Zhe took the scroll respectfully, feeling mixed emotions: "Thank you, your trust will inspire us to move forward."

The group embarked on a journey home, but it was also a new journey. They knew that what awaited them ahead was not only unknown challenges, but also a critical moment that would determine the fate of the world. And all of this would be written by them.

"Let's go, friends. We don't have time to waste." Su Zhe rolled up the parchment scroll and looked at everyone with a firm gaze. His voice floated in the breeze, carrying an unquestionable force.

Passerby A stood not far away, looking at this group of brave men who shouldered a heavy responsibility, his eyes full of admiration and curiosity. "Look, they are the messengers of light! I heard that they found the artifact, which is the greatest miracle of our generation!" His voice was full of excitement, and the pedestrians around him came closer and talked about it.

"Really? What will they do next?" Passerby B was shocked, but more expectant.

"They will protect us against the dark forces. I heard that even the sky is shaking because of their actions." Passerby C joined the discussion, his tone full of conviction.

Su Zhe and his group walked through the crowd, their steps were fast but firm. The Balancer woman smiled and said to the new travelers beside her: "It seems that we have become legends in people's mouths."

“Be it a legend or an ordinary person, I am willing to be any role as long as I can protect the peace of this land.” The new traveler answered, with an unprecedented determination in his eyes.

On their way back, they passed a small town. When the people in the town saw them, they stopped what they were doing, and some even knelt down to worship them, chanting, "Messenger of Light, please protect us and lead us to the light."

Su Zhe stopped and bowed to the townspeople. He said in a gentle but powerful voice: "Everything we do is for this world. Please believe that light will eventually come, and each of you can become a part of that light."

This scene was seen by an old lady who was telling a story to her grandson. She stopped what she was doing and looked at Su Zhe lovingly: "Look, my child, this is a hero. Never give up hope at any time, and light will always find its way."

"Grandma, I also want to be a hero like them!" The little boy's eyes were sparkling and full of longing.

The old lady smiled and touched the child's head: "As long as you have light in your heart and move forward bravely, you are your own hero."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the group continued to move forward. In the distance, the black cloud seemed to be getting closer, foreshadowing the coming storm.

"What we are facing may be an unprecedented challenge." The wizard stared at the horizon with a frown.

"No matter what, we will never be alone." Leah patted his shoulder, giving silent support.

As night fell, they found a safe place to rest. Beside the fire, Su Zhe slowly unfolded the parchment scroll. The ancient text was faintly visible under the firelight, as if it contained the key to unlocking the mystery of the future.

"'When light and darkness collide, the true warrior will step forward and guide the light to illuminate all directions.' What does this mean?" Xiaojie frowned and asked in confusion.

"I think this means that we should not only fight against the darkness in front of us, but also find a way to spread the power of light to every corner of the world." Su Zhe thought thoughtfully, "Perhaps, the light pattern in our hands is the key."

“Spread the light…” the Balancer woman repeated, a light flashing in her eyes, “Then we must find all the relics of light and awaken the dormant power to fight against the coming threat.”

"Then, let's split up." Su Zhe stood up and looked at everyone one by one. "Each of you will be responsible for an area, looking for the lost fragments of light, and at the same time, protecting the local people."

"I agree." The wizard nodded. "We can gather clues faster if we split up. However, we must stay in touch to avoid falling into the enemy's trap."

“That’s settled then.” Leah clenched her fists, her eyes full of fighting spirit. “No matter what happens, we must believe in each other, because we are messengers of light.”

The flickering flames illuminated their determined faces, as if foreshadowing that hope would never die. Behind this determination was a road full of unknowns and challenges, and more tests and adventures awaited them.

Just as they were discussing, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a whisper from afar. The voice seemed to be calling their names with an indescribable attraction.

"Did you hear that?" Xiao Jie listened attentively and looked at everyone in confusion.

"Yes, it seems like someone is calling us." The Balancer woman narrowed her eyes. Her intuition told her that this was not a simple coincidence.

"Perhaps the artifact is guiding us to our next destination." The wizard pondered, and he flipped through the ancient books at a faster pace, trying to find the answer.

In the darkness of the night, the newly joined traveler clenched his fists and said, "No matter what the road ahead holds, I am ready. As long as I am with you, I have nothing to fear."

"Very good, then let's follow this sound. Perhaps that is where our next mission is." Su Zhe made the final decision. He looked up at the night sky. Under the starlight, his eyes were unusually bright, as if he had already seen the way forward.

They packed up and set out on their journey again. This time, as they went deeper into the unknown, they encountered more challenges and obstacles. Every time they arrived at a place, whether it was a desolate ruin or a hidden cave, there were unusual sights waiting for them. Every time they solved a crisis or found a piece of light, the surrounding environment would change subtly, as if nature was responding to their efforts and gradually getting rid of the erosion of darkness.

In an ancient village, they rescued villagers who were imprisoned by dark forces. The villagers gathered around them, grateful and in tears.

"You are truly the saviors sent by God!" An old woman shed tears and tightly held Su Zhe's hand, "We thought we would never see the light again."
