Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Awakening in the depths of the ruins
In that dazzling light, the four of them were tightly intertwined, with endless hope and expectation in their hearts. As the light gradually dissipated, a whole new world emerged before my eyes: towering stone pillars, suspended rocks, and those dreamlike flowing crystals, as if I were in a fantasy kingdom that I had never seen before.
Where exactly is this? "Su Yao looked around, her voice filled with astonishment. Her heart was beating rapidly, with anticipation and tension intertwined.
This is the core of the ruins, perhaps also our ultimate test. "Feng Chen gazed ahead, his eyes filled with a hint of determination and firmness, as if weighing the challenges of the future.
As the four of them gazed out, a faint light emanated from the crystals ahead, gradually converging into a low and mysterious whisper. That sound seems to come from ancient times, crossing the boundaries of time and reaching deep into the soul.
Are you brave enough to accept the test of the future? "The voice carried a majesty from deep within the ruins, as if testing the sincerity of every soul.
We are willing! "Li Xuan responded with a firm gaze and without hesitation. The companions beside me also nodded slightly, their hearts filled with faith.
So, the test of the soul is about to come. "The crystal shimmered brighter, and the whispers became clearer," Your past, present, and future will all be revealed
May I ask, how should we prepare? "Qingluan asked, her heart filled with an indescribable anticipation.
Faced with this method, the only way is to focus without distractions and move forward courageously. "The voice became distant and deep, as if reciting an ancient mantra, with crystal radiance like a tide, and the surrounding scene began to distort.
In an instant, abstract light and shadow began to form around the four people, and strange images emerged, as if they were caught up in an endless illusion.
This is... my past, "Su Yao's voice drifted in the chaos. She saw herself by the vast seaside, alone, facing the sea, as if waiting for the call of fate. The confusion, expectations, and loneliness of the past intertwined in an instant, leaving her feeling helpless.
Accompanying her was the figure of Qingluan, who was surrounded by a sky full of stars, holding a small star in her hand. That star was like her past hope, shining no matter what, but accompanied by a shadow that seemed to devour her radiance.
This is my inner struggle! "Qingluan trembled slightly and then shouted loudly," Can't what I long for coexist with my faith
In the past, I used to be between hope and loss, but in this moment, I hope to let go! "Qingluan's voice became clear in the starry sky, breaking through the endless mist.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, was in a bloody desert, surrounded by heat waves and droughts that suffocated him. His heart was filled with the helplessness he had felt when facing his father in the past, and those heavy expectations oppressed his soul. He had hoped to become a hero in his father's eyes, but was always overshadowed by the huge shadow hanging above his head.
I can't break free from this bondage! "Li Xuan howled in pain, his hands tightly clenched as if to tear away the despair. But I can't be weak anymore
We will become our own heroes! "Feng Chen let out a firm roar, and his figure turned into lightning, instantly crossing the desert. The illusion in front of him dissipated like a tide, turning into his resilient belief in his heart. He seemed to have countless interactions with his companions in his heart, and that tacit understanding was like a sword, guiding him out of the fog.
My faith must never become a burden! "He said, with an unshakable force in his tone.
Just as those four different fantasies gradually overlapped, a strong light flashed again, as if setting the tone for their brief past and the future they were about to embrace. The four of them gathered together in unison, and the brightness of the radiance burst forth in an instant, like the rising sun, illuminating every corner of the ruins.
Whether it's past bonds or upcoming tests, "Feng Chen closed his eyes slightly, and the emotions rising in his heart surged like a tide." We will all be reborn at this moment
For each other's beliefs! "Qingluan followed Feng Chen's voice, tears of determination welling up in her eyes.
For the liberation of the soul! "Su Yao smiled faintly, repeating the motivating words as she looked at her companions.
For the future! "Li Xuan's roar echoed like thunder.
The four voices converged into a song like a spring hymn, and the power converged like a river, breaking through the shackles of the soul. Illusions are like smoke, surging away, struggling and the imprints of the past are submerged by the light.
In an instant, the radiance radiated and all things were unified. The whispers that seemed to come from deep within the ruins resounded once again: "Brave ones, you have awakened. You will witness the tests of the future
As the sound rises, the sparkling crystals around begin to become brighter, and the rotating force in space is once again reshaped. In the sudden change, a huge energy emerged and quickly approached like a tide.
Come on, fearless hero! "The voice sounded like a war drum, stirring up courage and fighting spirit.
Ready! "The four of them sang in unison, embracing the upcoming test.
What catches the eye is a bizarre scene, with a natural interplay of blue and light purple light curtains, forming a blue title page. The more distorted light and shadow ahead begin to reveal countless maze like channels, as if endless choices and possibilities.
We need to start a new journey from here, "Feng Chen took a step forward, his resolute expression turning into a solid foundation under his feet.
At the end of the maze, perhaps our future lies ahead, "Qingluan pondered, with her firm belief and anticipation.
Remember our goal, we can't wait to face the challenge! "Li Xuan shouted loudly and stepped into the blue light curtain. Everyone felt the power rising in their hearts in the light curtain.
However, to everyone's surprise, as the four of them stepped into the light curtain one after another, the maze they had built opened numerous doors in an instant. Ancient runes flickered around them, and the fluctuations and surges in between concealed unpredictable dangers.
This is a test! "Feng Chen whispered, gripping his weapon tightly and his gaze sharp as a sword.
It's not just about taking steady steps, but the true essence of the soul, "Qingluan looked back, her eyes reflecting dedication and preparation. She knew that this test could be bright or dark, but only the faith in her heart could guide her towards a bright ending.
Everyone, although our strength is combined, we still need to remain vigilant, "Su Yao nodded slightly." Trust your intuition and never separate
Four people, like fish, walked through the maze, sometimes feeling deeply confused by the pressure of the light curtain facing them, and sometimes encountering shadows approaching quietly. They must always remain vigilant and seize every opportunity.
As they cautiously advanced, a huge stone door flashed at the end of the maze, with ancient patterns on it that were extremely complex and dazzling. But strangely enough, this stone door no longer showed them any meaning.
How are we going to open this door? "Li Xuan approached slowly, with a furrowed brow and already filled with doubts.
Perhaps this door itself is one of the tests, "Feng Chen pinched the magic tool in his hand and looked at the rune on the door, unable to resist thinking. We need to unravel its hidden mysteries, perhaps only then can we move forward
At the same time, the four of them began to organize their thoughts, each thinking about the challenges they faced. Qingluan gently caressed the pattern on the door with her hand, savoring every groove and bump.
These patterns are like an ancient cycle of life and death, seemingly revealing our choices, "she said softly, feeling an intangible force extending from her heart as she spoke, and an intuition echoing in her heart, seemingly guiding her to find the key.
That means we need to feel our choices with our hearts, and each choice will lead to a different future, "Su Yao measured slightly, feeling the hidden power in her heart." This door needs our hearts
I think we need to touch it with our true selves, "Feng Chen's emotions grew stronger, his voice clear and loud." Only by letting it feel our beliefs can we open this door
That's right! "Li Xuan didn't hesitate, their hearts swaying like a storm. Everyone in front of this door clearly felt each other's strength, the frequency of their heartbeats merged into one, and the flowing pulsation was like a harmonious melody.
So, let's go open this door together! "Su Yao said firmly, walking forward and gently placing it on the ancient stone door. The resonance of four hearts struck the heavy door.
At this moment, the four of them could no longer suppress their inner cries. With the loud roar, the stone door trembled and slowly but surely opened to both sides. Behind the door, there is an endless void, where light and shadow gradually brighten, as if sensing the call of a raging force.
We have succeeded, the future is ahead! "Qingluan was extremely excited, her eyes shining brightly like stars.
And just as they were about to cross the door, there was a loud bang ahead, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. The entire space of the ruins began to shake violently, and the light changed rapidly, like scattered flames, approaching the four people.
Quickly retreat! "Feng Chen waved quickly and plunged his companions into the turbulence, but the force had surged like a tide and could no longer be stopped.
Just as they were on the brink of despair, a strong light flashed and rushed towards the opened door.
Charge forward! "Li Xuan roared, and with the belief of striving with all his might, he suddenly moved forward. In an instant, he hugged others tightly and rushed towards the sparkling secret like a huge wave.
With their impact, the body and soul were immersed in that void, feeling an unparalleled energy field in their hearts, as if surpassing each other and reaching a brilliance and vastness they had never seen before.
Brave ones, you will usher in a future that truly belongs to you! "The previous voice resounded once again, echoing in the ears of the four, and it was the resonance of the hearts that awakened hope and faith.
When they regained stability, the four had already crossed the bright door and entered a brand new world. A new scene unfolded before my eyes, and my vision suddenly opened up. It seemed like I had arrived at an endless grassland, surrounded by sparkling stars that were as clear as dewdrops. The moonlight sprinkled silver hues, as if it had draped a glorious cloak over this world.
Where is this? "Li Xuan felt the cool night breeze for the first time and felt a wave of excitement in his heart. He looked around and found the four of them on a lush green meadow, surrounded by towering mountains and flowing streams. The sound of flowing water echoed in their ears, as if they had freed themselves from all constraints and entered a dreamlike fairyland.
This is the spiritual realm of the ruins, or the destination created by our souls, "Qingluan took a few steps slowly, feeling the warmth of the earth and whispered, her eyes revealing surprise and anticipation.
Anyway, there must be a secret we are looking for hidden here, "Feng Chen's eyes sparkled with a determined light as he walked towards the path of exploration ahead. He knew that this was the beginning of their real challenge.
Look, there's an ancient altar over there! "Su Yao pointed ahead, and a slightly mottled stone altar stood out in the center of the grassland, surrounded by symbols resembling ancient sacrifices, emitting a mysterious radiance that seemed to call for their arrival.
Let's go over and take a look. "Li Xuan walked towards the altar, curious about this land in his heart, with firm steps, as if a new adventure was waiting for them.
As they approached the stone altar, the sound of the wind echoed in their ears, as if telling the story of this land. Upon closer inspection, there is a huge totem carved in the center of the altar. The image of the totem resembles a fierce beast, fierce yet majestic, emitting an ancient aura, as if it were a guardian for thousands of years.
This is obviously a symbol of some kind of power, "Feng Chen observed the totem seriously, his expression becoming more solemn. Look at those symbols, these are variations of the runes we saw in the maze before! They symbolize 'trial', 'hero', and 'spiritual sublimation'
Su Yao reached out and touched the stone altar, instantly feeling a warm force coming from her palm. "This force is calling out to each and every one of us, perhaps this is our ultimate testing ground
So, how should we proceed next? "Li Xuan asked, clenching his fists as if ready to face unknown challenges.
I guess we must awaken the power of the altar with sincerity of our hearts, "Qingluan's gaze was firm." Should we pour our respective beliefs and wishes into this in order to embark on the next path
Their respective beliefs? "Li Xuan repeated the sentence, realizing in his heart that this was the challenge he had to face. He looked up at his partner and said, 'For each other's wishes, we must complete this challenge together!'
That's right, one person's beliefs may not be strong enough, but the hearts of everyone will always outline a brilliant future, "Su Yao said softly, with a resolute expression in her eyes.
The four of them smiled at each other, their eyes filled with tacit understanding, and then formed a circle, tightly holding hands and feeling the surging power in their hearts. Everyone's heart is steadfastly moving in the same direction, willing to reveal their soul in the face of the unknown that is about to open up.
The light of growth gathered around the altar, like the dawn sweeping through, permeating their hearts. The mysterious power gradually formed waves, and the entire space seemed to tremble due to their common determination.
I hope I can truly master myself and surpass my past weaknesses! "Li Xuan's voice echoed around, his fiery determination turning into strength and injecting it into the totem of the altar.
In order to pursue the freedom and freedom within, I am willing to give up all constraints! "Qingluan's voice was as clear as a spring, just like her soul, winning the resonance of the grassland.
I am willing to fight for friendship and protect everything I cherish! "Su Yao smiled slightly, and in the moment of response, her crystal like heart door opened, carrying a gentle yet firm strength.
The spiritual connection between the four ignited the flames of this highland. "Feng Chen's expression was solemn and firm, wanting to go deeper and clarify his inner thoughts. He raised his hands slightly and let out a roar, "Fearless heroes, elevate your souls and create our own future
As soon as the words fell, the totem in the center of the altar suddenly burst into a brilliant light, spinning wildly and soaring into the sky, reflecting the entire night sky like a galaxy hanging upside down and pouring down. Countless light points came one after another, like shooting stars, shining brightly across the sky.
At this moment, history and the future intertwine in people's hearts, and the true test is about to come. The four of them stared intently at the dazzling light, and the whispers in their ears became even clearer, deafening like a bell.
Brave ones, take your steps. Every bright path is a response to the soul, guided by courage and faith
The altar trembled, and several illusory images gradually took shape. Memories of the past and hopes for the future were slowly emerging around them. The test of the soul, the sublimation of the soul, all call for their exploration of the unknown.
Come on, let's take a brave step forward! "Li Xuan took the first step, and the grass trembled gently under his feet, as if responding to his actions and shining brightly. And behind him, the other three followed without hesitation.
With each step, radiance surged beneath their feet, and the connection between the altar and the four became even closer. That incredible power surged like a tide, stirring everything.
The test of the future will begin here, and from now on, you will face endless challenges. "The deep and majestic voice, like thunder, reignited their fighting spirit, as if hearing the rotation of time and the call of some power echoing in their ears.
At this moment, the center of radiance gradually condensed, forming a light gate behind which countless unknown tests and opportunities seemed to be waiting for their arrival. The depth inside the door is like the starry sky of the universe, yearning to be explored by the hearts of the brave.
There must be good luck ahead, and at this moment, we are fighting for ourselves! "Qingluan's gaze was electric, and her voice was clear and restrained. Fearless of hardships, brave the storms, and create our future
Let's face the next challenge! "Su Yao shouted, her eyes shining like stars, her heart ignited with unprecedented strength, and she followed her companions towards that radiance.
Regardless, we must unite and face this test together! "Feng Chen's voice rose, and his strong belief rippled like waves. As they stepped together, the shadows of the four of them transformed into a steadfast light of faith in an electric flash, rushing towards the open door of light.
The glory suddenly dissipated, and their inner beliefs became even more firm. Their hands tightly clasped together, forming an impeccable unity.
Passing through the light gate, the four of them instantly felt a strong energy wave and easily passed through without any obstacles. As they walked, a magnificent and vast airspace gradually appeared ahead, and the scenery of mountains and earth shattering emerged like heaven.
What a stunning sight! "Li Xuan couldn't help but marvel, his gaze sweeping over the dome that looked like an endless sky, with dazzling stars falling like the Milky Way, reflecting on this vast and dreamlike land.
And beneath their feet, the earth seemed to respond to their arrival, whether it was the radiance of the sky, the tranquility of the grassland, or the lightness of the wind, all revealing an incredible sense of fusion, as if the capriciousness of the past and the fearlessness of the future intertwined into a magnificent picture.
This is the true destination and test of our souls, guided by our hearts and possessing faith - only then can we embrace true transformation! "A new force emerged in Feng Chen's heart, and the next path showed hope in front of him.
At this moment, they realized that this vast space was not static and unchanging, and a hazy and complex mist began to appear in the distance, as if countless uncertain challenges were hidden in the surging undercurrents.
Everyone, it seems that a new test is coming! "Su Yao's eyes were sharp, staring at the gradually expanding fog ahead. She raised her hand and released a faint force of light.
In this mist, it seems that our hearts are also hidden. "Qingluan observed carefully, and the natural premonition in her heart made her feel a peculiar connection. Perhaps only by facing the truth of our hearts can we break through this fog
So, are you ready for the next challenge? "Feng Chen's voice was full of strength, inspiring his companions' courage.
Always do it! "The four of them responded in unison, their hearts blending together, reigniting their faith in moving forward and stepping into the unknown mist.
Immediately, four figures meandered through the vast mist, moving forward bravely. Unknown trials and hardships quietly arrived in the future. They are already prepared, firmly believing that fearless faith will lead the way to the future.
