“These symbols… seem to record the struggle between the guardians of ancient times and the forces of darkness.” Xiao Zhao carefully studied the inscriptions on the stone pillars, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Yes, they are telling us that history always repeats itself, but we have the power to change the outcome.” Zhou Wenjun walked forward and gently touched the inscriptions with his hand. The Tears of Light emitted a soft light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a hidden door slowly opened, revealing stone steps leading underground. Each step seemed to lead to a deeper ancient secret.

“Let’s go down and take a look. Maybe the key to fighting darkness is hidden there.” Zhang Zhendong suggested with a firm look in his eyes.

As they went deeper and deeper underground, the surrounding environment gradually became more bizarre, with a faint fluorescence in the air, illuminating the road ahead. At the deepest point, they discovered a huge underground space, with an ancient altar in the center, on which was placed a gem emitting a soft glow, which was strikingly similar to the Tears of Light.

“This is… the Heart of Light!” Li Xiaoxia’s voice seemed to ring in their ears. Although she is no longer in this world, her will is with them.

“Xiaoxia, are you the one who led us here?” Zhou Wenjun asked in a low voice. The Tears of Light in his hand echoed with the Heart of Light on the altar, releasing an even more powerful light.

“Not only does she guide us, she also left us the most precious gift.” Zhang Zhendong walked towards the altar and carefully placed the Tears of Light next to the Heart of Light. The two treasures seemed to have been reunited after a long separation, and instantly burst into dazzling light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

As the light burst, vague memories flooded into their minds. They were the inheritance of successive guardians, as well as the knowledge and power to fight against darkness. They seemed to hear the teachings of their ancestors and felt an unprecedented power surging in their bodies.

“We… have become stronger.” Xiao Zhao clenched his fists, with flames of hope burning in his eyes.

“It’s not just about strength, more importantly, we know more about the truth about this world and our responsibilities.” Zhou Wenjun sighed, his face looking more resolute.

“Xiaoxia, your sacrifice was not in vain.” Zhang Zhendong looked up, as if he could see through the stone wall to the sky they were protecting. “We will keep moving forward until every corner of the world is filled with light again.”

Under the illumination of the Heart of Light and Tears of Light, the three set out on their journey home, their hearts filled not only with longing for Li Xiaoxia, but also with determination and hope for the future. They knew that this road was full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as there was light in their hearts, the darkness would eventually be dispelled.

——”Until light covers all darkness, we swear to protect this land in your name, Xiaoxia.” This oath, like the gentlest wind, blows through every corner and warms the hearts of every guardian. And in this oath, a new story is quietly opening.

“Let’s go. What we bring back is not only the Heart of Light and enhanced power, but also Xiaoxia’s will.” Zhang Zhendong turned around first. His steps were steadier than before, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Zhao followed closely behind with a confident smile on his face: “It’s time to let those threats lurking in the dark see the true strength of our guardians.”

Zhou Wenjun collected the Tears of Light and held them tightly in his palm, as if he was holding Li Xiaoxia’s lingering warmth: “Xiaoxia, watch out, we will spread your light to every corner of the world.”

Back in the human world, the three guardians discovered that things were beginning to look strange everywhere: black shadows occasionally passing through the sky, rivers drying up for no reason, and whispers coming from people’s dreams. All of this hinted that the dark forces were ready to move, and they were the ones chosen to resist it.

“We should first investigate the source of these strange phenomena.” Zhang Zhendong murmured, his brows full of solemnity.

“It will be more efficient if we act separately. Xiao Zhao, you go track down those dark shadows in the sky. Zhou Wenjun, you use the Tears of Light to sense the changes in the earth. I will be responsible for investigating the fear and anxiety in people’s hearts.” Xiao Zhao and Zhou Wenjun nodded in agreement, and then acted separately.

A few days later, the three of them gathered again and brought the information they had collected.

“Those black shadows are scouts of the dark creatures. They are looking for weak points that can be breached.” Xiao Zhao reported, the sweat on his face showing that this journey was not an easy one.

Zhou Wenjun added: “The ground veins are severely damaged and show signs of deliberate corrosion. I’m afraid some kind of ancient spell is at work.”

Zhang Zhendong pondered for a moment: “People’s fear has been amplified. There seems to be someone behind the scenes trying to cause chaos and weaken our defenses.”

“We need to find the center of all this and get to the heart of it.” Xiao Zhao’s tone was full of determination.

“Yes, but before that, we need allies.” Zhou Wenjun suggested, “Remember those ancient books mentioned the ‘Alliance of Light’. There are warriors and wise men with the power of light scattered all over the world. If we can unite them…”

“Good idea. Without further ado, let’s start preparing for the meeting and invite these potential partners.” Zhang Zhendong agreed and immediately began to plan a detailed plan.

After many twists and turns, the Alliance of Light finally gathered secretly in a hidden valley. Members from all corners of the world gathered together with their own legends and powers. Zhang Zhendong, Xiao Zhao and Zhou Wenjun stood in the middle of the crowd and told everyone about Li Xiaoxia’s sacrifice and their new mission.

“We are no longer just guardians, but disseminators of light and messengers of hope.” Zhou Wenjun’s words aroused resonance.

“Every friend who is willing to take up arms and resist darkness with his heart is the continuation of Li Xiaoxia’s spirit.” Xiao Zhao’s words were full of emotion, and many people had tears in their eyes.

“Let us join hands, not only for revenge, but also for the future of this world.” Zhang Zhendong called out loudly. His voice echoed in the valley, arousing everyone’s fighting spirit.

After the meeting, the members of the Alliance of Light began to act separately. Some of them went deep behind enemy lines to destroy the conspiracy of the dark forces; some spread the stories of light among the people to inspire people’s courage and confidence; others focused on studying ancient documents to find more power of light.

………

At a gathering in the dead of night, sitting around a bonfire, Zhou Wenjun whispered, “Xiaoxia, did you see that? Your light has not gone out, and it has ignited the fire of hope in everyone’s heart.”

Xiao Zhao said, “Yes, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger.”

Zhang Zhendong raised his glass towards the starry sky: “For Xiaoxia, for the Alliance of Light, and for the upcoming victory, cheers!”

As the cups clinked, their eyes sparkled with unwavering faith. They would no longer be alone on this thorny road, because they believed that light would eventually dispel all darkness until the end of the world.

——”Xiaoxia, your light will always be with us.” This sentence seems to have become their silent oath, accompanying every heartbeat and every breath, inspiring them to keep moving forward, and continue to write their legendary chapter in the journey of light and darkness.

【911】We are witnessing the birth of a legend

The night wind blew across the valley, carrying a faint scent of grass and trees, interweaving with the warmth of the campfire to form a warm picture. Zhou Wenjun took out the Tears of Light from his arms. The crystal clear gem emitted a soft and warm glow under the light of the fire, as if Li Xiaoxia was silently watching them.

“We have the responsibility and ability to protect everything on this land.” Zhang Zhendong clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination, “Xiaoxia’s will has become the most resolute force in our hearts.”

Xiao Zhao gently tapped the backpack beside him, which contained various detection and communication equipment he had carefully prepared. “Tomorrow morning, we will act according to the plan. I will personally enter the forest shrouded in shadows and uncover the mystery of the dark forces.”

“而我，则会前往那个被遗忘的村落，据说 zhao@输%峮.武9:9;3@7{0}3>2#4- 那里曾是光之使者的居所，或许能找到对“三三三”抗黑暗的关键线索。”周文俊的声音中带着一丝期待。

“I will stay here as your solid backing and coordinate various affairs within the alliance.” Zhang Zhendong’s tone was full of responsibility. “Although we are separated, our hearts are always connected.”

During the conversation, a young female mage, Leah, quietly joined their circle. Her eyes seemed to contain stars, revealing gentle wisdom: “I have a suggestion. Since our enemies are good at mind manipulation, why don’t we learn how to use the power of light to purify our minds in addition to defending ourselves, and fundamentally undermine their offensive.”

“Good idea, Leah.” Xiao Zhao nodded approvingly, “This way, not only can we protect more people from being affected, but we can also increase our chances of winning the final battle.”

As the night deepened, the crowd around the fire gradually dispersed, each preparing for tomorrow’s journey. However, Zhang Zhendong, Xiao Zhao and Zhou Wenjun still sat together, enjoying this rare quiet time.

“Come to think of it, if Xiaoxia were still alive, she would definitely be very happy to see us like this.” There was a hint of bitterness in Zhou Wenjun’s smile, but more of it was hope for the future.

“She will.” Zhang Zhendong looked up at the starry sky, with stars in his eyes, “And I believe that no matter where she is, she is protecting us in her own way.”

“Then let every step we take, every victory we win, be the best commemoration of her.” Xiao Zhao raised his fist, and the other two responded. The three of them collided their fists, making a loud sound. It was a promise and a transfer of strength.

Just as they were getting ready to go to bed, a sudden piece of news broke the tranquility of the night—a messenger came running in, panting and saying, “Emergency! It’s reported that the dark forces are about to attack a small town, and many innocent residents are in danger!”

The three of them looked stern and immediately realized that this moment was the time to test their unity and strength.

“Let’s go. There’s no time to hesitate.” Zhang Zhendong said firmly. His eyes swept over Zhou Wenjun, Xiao Zhao, and the members of the Alliance of Light who were quickly gathering around them. “This time, we must not only save the town, but also prove to the world that light has never left and hope will always exist!”

——”Xiaoxia, watch out, this is our battle and our promise to you!” With these powerful words, they embarked on a new journey, their backs firm and resolute, heading towards the unknown depths of darkness, their hearts filled with the flames of protection and hope, illuminating each other and the way forward.

By the campfire, the unfinished story swayed gently in the night breeze, as if telling the world that the battle between light and darkness would never stop, but they would always be that inextinguishable light.

At dawn, the sky was turning pale, and a group of people stepped on the morning dew and rushed towards the dangerous town. The birdsong in the mountains and forests seemed particularly crisp at this moment, but it also added a bit of tension to the atmosphere.

“Liya, can you sense the exact location of that evil force?” Zhou Wenjun asked with his head tilted to the side. He gripped the reins tightly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

Leah closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment, then opened them. The stars in her eyes seemed brighter: “Southeast, about half a day’s journey away from us. I can feel that the light there is being swallowed up bit by bit.”

“It’s a half-day journey… We have to race against time.” Xiao Zhao said solemnly. He adjusted his backpack to make sure the communicator and various equipment were in the best condition. “I will try to contact the residents of the town on the way and make preparations for evacuation in advance.”

Zhang Zhendong rode in the front. He turned around and looked at his companions behind him. He said in a steady and powerful voice: “Our goal is not only to rescue, but also to give a loud blow to the darkness. Let them know that justice may be late, but it will never be absent…”

As the team went deeper, the originally lush forest began to look eerie, and even the air seemed to become heavy. Zhou Wenjun felt uneasy, and he whispered: “Everyone be careful, stay alert at all times.”

At this moment, a crow suddenly flew through the woods, its cry was shrill, as if it was an ominous omen. Then, a strange whispering sound circled in everyone’s ears, it was the whisper of the soul, trying to penetrate into everyone’s thoughts.

“Concentrate and don’t let those voices affect you.” Leia quickly chanted the spell, and a soft light bloomed from her palm, surrounding everyone and forming an invisible shield.

Xiao Zhao frowned. In his earphones, he heard noises and intermittent cries for help: “It’s the town. They’ve already started… We have to hurry!”

The speed increased sharply, and the sound of horse hooves echoed in the silence of the early morning with an unstoppable determination. Finally, on the edge of chaos and despair, the outline of a small town appeared faintly on the horizon.

“Prepare for battle!” Zhang Zhendong shouted, his voice like a war drum, stirring everyone’s blood. The sky above the town was filled with black fog and chaos.

Just as they were about to rush into the battlefield, a thin little girl suddenly ran out from the chaos, tears blurring her eyes. “Please, save my family, save everyone…” She trembled with her hands and tightly grasped the corner of Zhou Wenjun’s clothes.

Zhou Wenjun squatted down and gently touched the little girl’s head: “Don’t worry, we will protect everyone. You have to be brave too, okay?”

The little girl nodded vigorously, her tears mixed with mud, but also reflected a determined light.

“Dark forces, welcome your judgment!” Zhang Zhendong took the lead, swung his sword to cut through the sky, and led the warriors of the Alliance of Light, like an unstoppable torrent, rushing into the town shrouded in shadows.

——”No matter how rampant the darkness is, light will eventually shine on every inch of land.” At the moment of stepping into the melee, Xiao Zhao’s words echoed in everyone’s heart like a prophecy.

The battle is about to begin. They vow to dispel the darkness for protection, for belief, and for the light that never goes out in their hearts. And the land embraced by light is witnessing the birth of a legend.
