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

This move seemed to break the deadlock, and other men in black robes followed suit. Although there was still a lot of hesitation and dissatisfaction, they at least took the first step towards reconciliation.

"Well, now... let's start." Su Zhe looked at everyone, with both fatigue and hope in his eyes.

Just as everyone was preparing to discuss the Heart of the Abyss further, the ancient stone wall of the ruins suddenly vibrated slightly, and then a beam of dazzling light burst out from the crystal, illuminating the entire space. In the light, there seemed to be countless whispers interweaving, telling stories of the past and the future.

"Is this... a response from the Heart of the Abyss?" Leah covered her chest in surprise. She could feel an ancient and gentle power calling her, as if it was an affirmation of their attempt at reconciliation.

"It seems that even the Heart of the Abyss is tired of the endless fighting and longs for a balanced world." The mysterious traveler said softly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from somewhere in the ruins, followed by hurried footsteps. A young traveler, with a panicked face, almost ran out from the darkness. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.

“You… you did it! I heard about the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Shadows and the legend of the Heart of the Abyss… I didn’t expect it to be true!” The young man was out of breath, his tone filled with shock and disbelief.

Su Zhe walked up to him and patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Yes, we are trying. Every bit of power, whether it is light or dark, may become an opportunity to change the world. You are safe here."

A gleam of light flashed in the young man's eyes, as if he was deeply touched by Su Zhe's words. "My name is Jack, I'm just an ordinary traveler, but if there is anything I can help with, please let me know."

"Jack, welcome aboard. At this critical moment, everyone's efforts are important." Avril responded with a smile, her eyes full of tolerance and encouragement.

In the following time, they began to discuss how to reasonably use the power of the Heart of the Abyss without triggering a disaster, combining their respective knowledge and skills. The mysterious traveler used his profound wisdom to come up with many innovative ideas; Lin Mufeng and Avril focused on ensuring safety and guarding against possible external threats; Leah and Jack were responsible for coordinating all parties to ensure the flow of information and the supply of materials.

As time went on, the two sides, who were originally full of hostility and suspicion, gradually found the rhythm of cooperation. At certain moments, their communication was even filled with laughter and mutual understanding.

"I can't believe that light and darkness will one day sit down and work together like this." Jack exclaimed. He looked at the busy people with admiration in his eyes.

"The world is unpredictable, but it is this uncertainty that makes our efforts more meaningful." Su Zhe replied. He turned his head to look at the heart of the abyss. The soft light seemed warmer than ever.

Just when everything seemed to be on track, an unusual energy fluctuation once again disturbed the tranquility of the ruins. A deep and ancient voice seemed to come across time and space, echoing in everyone's heart.

"The real test has just begun..."

This sentence was like a splash of cold water on everyone's face, instantly focusing everyone's attention. Su Zhe exchanged glances with the mysterious traveler. They both knew that at the end of this journey, there would definitely be greater challenges waiting for them.

"No matter what the test is, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." Lin Mufeng's words were firm and powerful. He gripped the hilt of the sword again, ready to face any challenge.

"He's right." Avril nodded in agreement. Her eyes swept across everyone's face, full of confidence and determination. "We have proven that light and darkness can work together. This time, we will definitely be able to face it together."

"I hope that the ancient voice is just bluffing." Leah sighed softly. Although there was a hint of uneasiness in her words, her hand had already been placed on the ancient mechanism beside her, ready to deal with the unknown at any time.

Jack looked around. Although he was nervous, he still tried his best to stay calm. He asked Su Zhe: "What should we do?"

Su Zhe pondered for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to the mysterious traveler: "Your knowledge may be able to guide us. What do you think about this sudden test?"

The mysterious traveler closed his eyes slightly, as if listening to the whispers from the abyss. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes: "An ancient prophecy mentioned that the guardian of the heart of the abyss will appear at the most critical moment and guide us through the test. Perhaps, we need to find this guardian."

"Guardian?" Lin Mufeng frowned, "How do we find him?"

"Follow the guidance of your heart." The mysterious traveler said softly, and the gem in his hand once again shone with soft light, guiding an unknown road. "If your heart is bright, the road will reveal itself."

Led by a mysterious traveler, the group embarked on a journey to find the guardian. In the ruins, light and shadow intertwined, and every step was accompanied by the unknown and danger. Along the way, they encountered various wonders and unpredictable traps, but with the trust and wisdom among the team, they were always able to overcome the dangers.

During the journey, passers-by who happened to see them were all surprised:
"Look, those people, there are light and darkness walking on the same path, is it an illusion?" A businessman muttered to himself, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.

“If we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes, who would have thought of such a combination? Perhaps, the world is really getting better.” The young apprentice at the side sighed, his tone full of hope.

Just as they were puzzled by the mystery of the guardian, a group of people came to the deepest part of the ruins, where there was an ancient door with ancient runes engraved in front of it, as if telling the long history and secrets.

"Is this... where the guardian is?" Jack looked around, looking a little nervous.

The mysterious traveler stepped forward and gently touched the rune on the door. A soft blue light covered his palm, and then the door slowly opened, revealing nothingness inside.

"Come in, the answer is inside." His voice was calm but firm, as if everything was under his control.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally stepped into the unknown territory together. The world behind the door was shocking, a huge vortex of light and shadow quietly suspended in the air, and in the center of the vortex, there seemed to be a vague figure.

"It's the guardian..." Leia's voice was barely audible, but her tone was filled with excitement.

The figure slowly turned around. Its face was neither bright nor dark, but an existence beyond imagination. It spoke in a distant and gentle voice: "You are really a unique group. Only those who have hope and dare to break the boundaries can pass the test."

"What is...the test?" Su Zhe stepped forward and asked on behalf of everyone.

The guardian smiled, and that smile seemed to contain all the tolerance and understanding in the world: "The real test is not the external battle, but the inner struggle and transcendence. Only by understanding and accepting each other's differences can we touch the core of true power - the light of harmony."

After saying this, the guardian turned into dots of light and merged into the bodies of every member. They felt an unprecedented power surging in their bodies. It was the fusion of light and darkness, and the harbinger of a new era. "We understand." Avril's voice was firm and loud, "Harmony is the strongest power."

When they walked out of the ruins, the sky was already turning pale, and a new day had quietly arrived. Standing outside the ruins, the group felt unprecedented determination and hope in their hearts.

"It seems that the world is about to undergo a change." Lin Mufeng looked up at the gradually brightening sky, and his hand holding the sword became more powerful.

"Yes, I hope that what we do can allow more people to see the possibility of harmonious coexistence." Leah's eyes were gentle and distant, as if she had seen the picture of a peaceful future slowly unfolding.

At this moment, Jack suddenly pointed to a small town not far away. People there seemed to be talking among themselves and looking towards the ruins. "Look, they've noticed. Our actions have begun to affect this world."

Su Zhe walked forward with a smile and said softly: "Then let us continue to move forward and prove to everyone with our actions that no matter light or darkness, we can become a powerful force to protect this world."

The group set out on their journey again, and their stories began to spread in the villages and cities they passed along the way. When passers-by saw them, some were surprised, some admired them, and some cast complicated glances at them, but most of them were curious and expectant.

In a busy tavern, several people who looked like adventurers sat around a table, discussing recent rumors in low voices.

"Have you heard? There's a guy who brought people from both the light and dark sides to do something big in the ruins, and it actually succeeded!"

"How is that possible? Light and darkness have always been incompatible. This is a joke!"

“But a friend of mine saw it with his own eyes. He said they appeared together, and were surrounded by a strange light, like the legendary light of harmony.”

"These days, anything can happen. But if this is true, then won't our world be changed?"

At a market in another city, an old man told a story to his grandson: "Child, do you know? A long time ago, there was a time when light and darkness joined hands in the world. It was a miracle and brought lasting peace to the world. Now, perhaps that era is coming back again."

The little grandson's eyes widened with longing: "Grandpa, I also want to be a hero like that and protect everyone!"

"Good boy, as long as you have faith in your heart, you will be able to realize your dream one day." The old man touched the child's head lovingly.

These fragments, like seeds in the breeze, have taken root and sprouted in the earth without anyone noticing. The invisible wall between light and darkness seems to be gradually being melted by a power called "hope".

However, the road to peace is never smooth. Just as the group was moving forward confidently, an anonymous letter quietly appeared in front of them, revealing a disturbing secret - there was a hidden force that was planning to use the residual energy of the Heart of the Abyss to create new chaos, intending to destroy everything they had worked hard to build.

"We can't let this go to waste." Avril's voice was firm, and her eyes were focused with an unbreakable will.

"Yes, we must stop them. However, the opponent this time is more hidden than before, and we need more wisdom and courage." Su Zhe analyzed calmly.

The mysterious traveler nodded slightly: "I have some clues that may help us find the source of that force. But be prepared, this will be a difficult mission deep behind enemy lines."

"No matter what, as long as it's for this world, I, Lin Mufeng, will go through fire and water!" Lin Mufeng swore with his fist, his eyes burning like torches.

Although Jack had little experience, he stepped forward and said, "I'll go too! Although I'm just an ordinary person, I believe that everyone can contribute to changing the world."

Leia smiled at everyone and said, "Then, let us set out again, not only to fight against the impending threat, but also to prove to the world that the harmonious coexistence of light and darkness is not a dream."

"Yes, and me." Avril interrupted, her eyes firm, "We are the team that proved the impossible is possible. There is nothing we can't solve."

"Very good, now that we have decided, let's act immediately." The mysterious traveler walked out from the shadows with a map in his hand. "According to my clues, that force is hiding in an abandoned castle in the north. It was once a military fortress in the old days. The terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"Ancient castle?" Lin Mufeng raised his eyebrows. "It sounds like a stage specially designed for this adventure."

"Although the stage is good, the enemy will not sit still and wait for death." Su Zhe reminded seriously, "We must not only be fast, but also accurate, and hit the target with one strike."

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Jack raised his lips and took out a small self-made machine. "I have been improving this reconnaissance device. It can help us find out the enemy situation without being discovered."

"Then let's prepare separately and meet here at dusk." Su Zhe made the final arrangements. Everyone nodded in agreement and then dispersed to prepare for their own end.

………………

As dusk fell, the streets of the town were filled with an unusual atmosphere, and the residents talked about it, as if they had sensed the coming of some kind of change. The group met at the agreed location, each carrying the necessary equipment, with a solemn and determined look.

"Are you ready?" Su Zhe asked in a low voice.

"I can't wait any longer." Lin Mufeng pointed the tip of his sword at the ground, his fighting spirit high.

"Let's go, time is running out." Led by the mysterious traveler, the group quickly disappeared into the night and headed towards the northern castle.

………………

The castle under the night was eerie and mysterious, like a giant beast crouching on the ground, ready to devour intruders at any time. The team approached silently, and Jack's reconnaissance device played a huge role, successfully avoiding the surveillance of the outside world. (End of this chapter)
