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

"I remember there is an abandoned space-time rift at the north end of the map. It is said that the time rules inside are different from others. We can try to conduct preliminary research there." Leah recalled the information she had read and gave suggestions.

Avril added: "At the same time, we need to contact scholars and historians from various colleges. They may be able to provide knowledge about time magic and help us understand the true power of the hourglass of time."

The plan was initially formed, and everyone was excited and nervous. Just as they were about to split up and prepare for the next expedition, Su Zhe suddenly stood up, his eyes piercing through the darkness, as if he saw the distant future.

“Friends, no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as we hold on to light and follow justice, no force can knock us down. Let us join hands, not only to find the answer to time, but also to understand the ultimate secret of light and shadow, and lead this continent into a new era.”

Under Su Zhe's encouragement, the morale of the Light Team members reached an unprecedented high. They hugged each other tightly and vowed to carry out this important mission to the end.

As the night deepened, the camp of Team Light gradually became quiet, with only the campfire still flickering, as if telling an unfinished story. In the shadows not far away, a pair of prying eyes flashed by, leaving behind an unknown threat and a foreshadowing of the upcoming challenge.

"Do they think they can change everything by controlling time? Haha, the real test has just begun." The low and teasing voice dissipated with the wind, adding an ominous atmosphere to the night.

Su Zhe was meditating beside the campfire, with mixed emotions in his heart. His teammates had already fallen asleep, but he was the only one still thinking about the future direction. The power of time was so mysterious and dangerous, and he had to make sure every step was taken carefully. However, the fleeting shadow and the low voice just now made him feel a little uneasy.

In the early morning, the members of the Light Team woke up one after another, and the embers of the bonfire were still slightly hot. Su Zhe told everyone about his discovery last night, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly became tense.

"We must be more careful. It seems that our actions have attracted the attention of certain forces." Su Zhe said seriously.

"That's right, we can't take it lightly." Avril nodded in agreement.

"Then let's act separately according to the plan." Lin Mufeng suggested.

Team Light decided to split into two groups. Su Zhe and Avril went to the space-time rift at the north end to conduct preliminary research, while Lin Mufeng and Liya contacted scholars and historians from various colleges to seek more knowledge about time magic.

Su Zhe and Avril set out on a journey to the north. Along the way, they passed through dense forests and crossed turbulent rivers. On a stormy night, they finally arrived at the abandoned space-time rift.

This area was filled with a strange atmosphere, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of oppression. Su Zhe and Avril approached the crack carefully and found that the flow of time here was indeed different. Leaves were stagnant in the air, water droplets solidified in mid-air, and everything seemed to be frozen in a certain moment.

"It looks like this is indeed an ideal testing site." Avril said as she observed the surrounding scene.

"Yes, but we must be very careful. The laws of time here may be more complicated than we thought." Su Zhe responded.

They began to conduct preliminary experiments in the rift, trying to use the hourglass to manipulate the flow of time. At first, everything went well, and they successfully sped up and slowed down time. However, when they tried to reverse time, a powerful energy suddenly erupted from the rift, knocking them out.

"It seems that we have not yet fully mastered this power." Su Zhe got up from the ground and brushed the dust off his body.

"Yes, we need more knowledge and experience." Avril also stood up with a hint of fatigue on her face.

At the same time, Lin Mufeng and Liya were browsing ancient books in the libraries of various colleges, trying to find more clues about time magic. After several days of hard work, they finally found several precious manuscripts that recorded in detail the principles and applications of time magic.

"These materials are very important and may help us better understand the power of the Hourglass of Time." Lin Mufeng said excitedly.

"Yes, we must bring this information back as soon as possible." Leah responded.

Just as they were about to leave the academy, a group of men in black suddenly appeared and blocked their way. These men in black were obviously well prepared, holding sharp weapons in their hands and flashing dangerous light in their eyes.

"Who are you?" Lin Mufeng asked vigilantly.

"We are the guardians of time, and we are ordered to stop anyone who tries to manipulate time." The leading man in black said coldly.

"We have no ill intentions, we just want to find a way to protect the world," Leah explained.

"No matter what your purpose is, the power of time cannot be easily touched." The man in black did not give in.

A fierce battle unfolded in the corridor of the academy. Although Lin Mufeng and Liya fought hard, the enemy had a large number of people and was extremely powerful. Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, Lin Mufeng suddenly had an idea and used the time magic manuscript in his hand to cast a time stagnation spell, temporarily freezing the actions of the man in black.

"Let's go!" Lin Mufeng pulled Leah up and quickly fled the academy.

They ran all the way and finally found a temporary shelter in a hidden cave. The two sat on the ground panting, still frightened.

"It seems that our actions have been targeted by certain forces." Leah said.

"Yes, we must be more careful." Lin Mufeng nodded.

After a rest, Lin Mufeng and Liya decided to return to meet Su Zhe and Avril as soon as possible and hand over the information in their hands to them. They carefully avoided the pursuit of the men in black and finally reunited with Su Zhe and Avril on a stormy night.

"Are you okay?" Su Zhe felt relieved when he saw them.

"Fortunately, we brought back some important information." Lin Mufeng handed the manuscript to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe flipped through the manuscript with a look of delight on his face: "These materials are very valuable and may help us better understand the power of the hourglass of time."

"But we also encountered trouble. A group of black-clad men who called themselves the Guardians of Time stopped us. They obviously didn't want us to continue studying time magic." Liya reminded. "It seems that we not only have to face the challenge of time, but also these unknown enemies." Su Zhe pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "No matter what, we can't give up. For the peace and tranquility of the world, we must keep moving forward."

The Light Team reunited and used the information and experience in their hands to continue studying the power of the hourglass. After countless experiments and failures, they finally mastered some key techniques that allowed them to control the flow of time more safely.

However, just as they were about to conduct the last crucial experiment, the group of men in black appeared again and surrounded them. This time, there were more men in black and their momentum was even more ferocious.

"It seems that you still refuse to give up." The leading man in black sneered.

"We won't surrender easily." Su Zhe responded firmly.

An unprecedented fierce battle unfolded in the space-time rift, and the Light Team and the Black Man started a life-and-death struggle. Su Zhe and his teammates tried their best to use the power of the hourglass to fight against the enemy. However, the strength of the Black Man should not be underestimated, and the battle fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, Su Zhe suddenly felt a strong energy gushing out of the hourglass, and he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He held the hourglass high, concentrated all his willpower, and directed the power of time to the man in black.

In an instant, time seemed to stop, and the men in black fell to the ground one after another, losing their fighting power. The Light Team finally won, but they also paid a huge price, and everyone was exhausted.

"We did it," Avril gasped.

"Yes, but this is just the beginning." Su Zhe looked at the hourglass of time in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The Light Team knows that the road ahead is still full of challenges, but they are ready. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, they will work hand in hand to continue exploring the mysteries of time and protect the peace and tranquility of this world.

Night fell again, and the light team beside the campfire leaned on each other, their hearts full of hope and confidence in the future. And in the shadows in the distance, the peeping eyes appeared again, but this time, they were filled with more awe and complex emotions.

"The real test has just begun." The deep voice sounded again, but this time with a hint of imperceptible respect.

"Hey, have you heard? Those guys from Team Light are said to be able to manipulate time, and they're fighting with some Time Guardian!" In the tavern in the small town, two ragged travelers lowered their voices, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

"Manipulate time? Don't be ridiculous. That's something only God can do." The big man at the next table sneered, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the corner where Su Zhe and others were. Although that place was inconspicuous, it had an aura that was hard to ignore.

"You don't believe it? I have a distant relative who works as a handyman in the academy. He told me personally that the scene was so spectacular that even space was distorted. Ordinary people like us may never see such a spectacular sight in our lifetime."

“Distorted space? This…” The big man paused and forgot to drink the beer in the cup. His eyes revealed a bit of yearning and shock.

In the corner, Su Zhe was discussing the next plan with his companions. Although their conversation was low, it was still caught by a few sensitive ears in the silent night.

"We can't always be on the defensive. It's time to take the initiative and find out the details of those men in black." Su Zhe said in a firm tone. His eyes looked through the window lattice, as if they had penetrated the heavy fog and were looking at a more distant place.

"I agree. Simply avoiding the problem is not the solution." Avril agreed. Her eyes were equally firm, revealing a courage that was no less than that of any man.

"But how do we find their lair?" Lin Mufeng frowned. This problem has been bothering them.

At this moment, a thin figure appeared silently at the door of the tavern, wrapped in a tattered cloak, revealing only a pair of bright and alert eyes. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the Light Team, and then slowly walked towards them.

“Everyone, I heard that you are fighting against the tyranny of time. I have information and am willing to exchange the information for some... protection.” The man’s voice was hoarse and low, revealing an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

"Tell me about it." Su Zhe motioned him to sit down. Although his attitude was cautious, he did not reject this sudden request for help.

The man looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. He whispered, "Deep in the misty forest in the southeast, there is a ruin called the 'Forgotten Land'. It is said to be the secret base of the Guardian of Time. But that place is extremely dangerous and difficult for ordinary people to approach."

"Forgotten Land..." Su Zhe chewed on the name silently, a gleam in his eyes, "Thank you for your information, we will consider it. As for protection... As long as you sincerely repent and no longer get involved in the darkness, we will provide you with shelter."

When the man heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. Then he bowed deeply and disappeared into the night.

Su Zhe turned around and said to his companions: "The misty forest in the southeast sounds like a good clue. We will set out early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must give it a try." Lin Mufeng and Avril responded at the same time. There was an unspoken understanding and trust between the four of them.

The conversation in the pub became noisy again, people were still talking about the legend of Team Light, but at this moment, the members of Team Light had new goals and determination in their hearts.

"The real test is here." With Su Zhe's words, the four figures disappeared into the night, leaving behind the townspeople's discussions and the irrepressible curiosity and anticipation.

"Manipulating time, if this is true, then a big shot will emerge in our small town!" An old man with wrinkles on his face murmured to himself, with both confusion and longing in his eyes.

"Manipulating time and protecting the world, this kind of thing, let's just watch the fun. However, it is also a kind of luck to witness the growth of a hero with our own eyes." A young bartender who was wiping the glasses nearby interrupted, with a smile on his lips, as if he was looking forward to some extraordinary story about to happen.

As the night deepened, the town returned to silence, with only the occasional barking of dogs echoing in the night sky. The four members of the Light Team sat around a flickering candlelight in a simple hotel, planning their upcoming adventure.

"Misty Forest, Forgotten Land, it sounds like a trial ground tailor-made for adventurers." Lin Mufeng stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with eagerness to try. (End of this chapter)
