The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 842 Mutual

The door of the temple opened automatically, and a warm and powerful force came towards us. It was the power of pure light, which seemed to be able to wash away all the darkness and fatigue.

In the deepest part of the temple, an old man in a silver-white robe and with a kind face was quietly waiting for them. "Welcome, heirs of light. I am the mentor of light, Gabriel. Your arrival is the arrangement of fate."

Gabriel's eyes swept over them one by one, with affirmation and encouragement. "For a long time, we have watched you fight against darkness. Now, it is time for you to understand the true power of light."

Following Gabriel's gesture, an ancient book rose in the center of the temple. The pages turned automatically, emitting dazzling light, and knowledge and power poured into their minds like a torrent.

“This is the Chronicle of Light, which records the long history of light and darkness, as well as the wisdom and power of guardians of all generations. Only those who hold light in their hearts and are willing to fight for it can interpret its true meaning.”

Xu Mo, Allen, and Su Mei'er looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. At this moment, they not only inherited the power of light, but also took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the world.

"Then, from now on, we will be the sword of light and the terminator of darkness." Xu Mo raised his right hand, and his firm oath echoed in the temple.

"We share the responsibility." Alan and Su Mei'er also raised their hands. The voices of the three merged into an irresistible force. It was the power of light and endless hope and promise for the future.

Gabriel smiled and nodded. His voice was gentle but powerful. “That’s right. Now, go and bring this light to every corner of the world, so that all the people immersed in darkness can feel the warmth of light.”

As Gabriel's words fell, scenes emerged in the temple. They were scenes of darkness invading all parts of the world, and helplessness and fear spread in people's eyes.

"Look, this is our mission." Gabriel pointed at the scenes and said earnestly, "Your power will be their only light."

The three of them felt a great sense of responsibility, but their hearts were also filled with unprecedented determination. They knew that this was not just a battle, but also the spread and defense of the faith of light.

"Teacher, please tell us where we should start?" Xu Mo asked, his eyes revealing a strong sense of mission.

Gabriel closed his eyes and thought for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he pointed to the north and said, "In the far north, there is a forgotten ancient city where the power of darkness is stirring, trying to awaken the dormant ancient evil. You must stop this from happening before they succeed."

"The ancient city in the far north...we'll set off immediately." Xu Mo turned to look at his companions without hesitation. Alan and Su Mei'er also had firm expressions, without any hesitation.

They bid farewell to Gabriel and the sacred temple, and with their new knowledge and power, they set out on a journey to the Far North. The journey was long and full of unknowns, but their steps were particularly powerful because of the mission on their shoulders.

During the journey, they encountered various difficulties, including the test of nature and the attacks of creatures eroded by darkness, but with their joint efforts, all obstacles were overcome one by one.

"What we face is not only a physical challenge, but also a test of the soul." During a break, Su Mei'er said softly, her eyes revealing a deep understanding of human nature.

"That's right, the reason why darkness is scary is because it tries to make people lose hope." Xu Mo added, he looked into the distance, there was their destination and also the stage for the final battle between light and darkness.

Allen was sharpening his war hammer on the side, and said firmly: "No matter how dark the road ahead is, as long as the three of us are here, the light will not go out."

Finally, after several days of long journey, they arrived at the ancient city in the far north. The city was covered with thick snow, looking desolate and mysterious. At the city gate, a gloomy atmosphere came over them, as if the place had been completely occupied by darkness.

"This is the place we are looking for." Xu Mo looked around, tightened the holy sword in his hand, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

"Let's go in. The sooner we act, the sooner we can save innocent lives." Alan said, and took the first step into the ancient city, followed by the other two.

Inside the ancient city, shadows intertwined and dangers lurked everywhere. They moved forward cautiously, with every step full of vigilance. Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the empty streets: "Welcome to the land of death, warriors of light. Do you really think you can stop the coming of darkness?"

The voice came from an unknown source, as if it sounded in every corner at the same time, with provocation and disdain. However, the three of them were not afraid, but instead strengthened their faith.

"Darkness can hide, but it can never escape the judgment of light." Xu Mo responded loudly. His words were like a horn, inspiring his companions and declaring a challenge to the darkness.

"Then let's see, is your sword faster or my hammer heavier!" Alan grinned, his hammer spinning in his hand, exuding a desire to fight.

Su Mei'er silently set up a light barrier behind them to protect the team from the invasion of shadows: "No matter how thick the darkness is, light will eventually illuminate everything."

As they went deeper, they encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy - the Dark Apostles, elites sent by the Dark Council who had the ability to manipulate shadows. The battle was extremely fierce, but with their newly acquired powers and tacit cooperation, they gradually gained the upper hand.

Just as the battle was drawing to a close, a larger shadow appeared in the center of the ancient city. It was the Heart of Darkness, the source of all evil. It was like a mountain, oppressing the surrounding air and making people suffocate.

"Finally, the heirs of light have arrived." The Heart of Darkness made a deafening sound, "But your power is nothing but the light of a firefly in front of me."

Facing this final test, Xu Mo, Allen and Su Meier stood side by side, their eyes not wavering at all: "The light of a firefly can illuminate the darkness, not to mention that we are the light that never burns out!"

As their voices fell, the three launched the final attack, and light and darkness erupted in the most dazzling collision in the sky of the ancient city. The light contained their belief in light, their persistence in justice, and their infinite expectations for the future.

After the battle, the ancient city in the far north welcomed the long-lost sunshine again. Those lives controlled by darkness regained their freedom, with smiles of hope on their faces.

"We did it." Alan wiped the sweat off his face and smiled with relief.

"But this is just the beginning." Xu Mo looked at the distant horizon, "As long as there is darkness in the world, our journey will not stop."

"The light is with us." Su Mei'er said softly, and her piano sounded again, bringing healing and hope, floating to every corner of the ancient city.

"Indeed, as long as there is light in your heart, the road will be endless." Alan responded, with a new determination flashing in his eyes.

Just as the three were immersed in the joy of victory and looking forward to the future, a breeze blew by, and Gabriel's figure quietly appeared beside them. His voice was still gentle and profound: "Your performance exceeded my expectations. The power of light has blossomed in you with unprecedented brilliance."

"Teacher, why are you here?" Xu Mo was a little surprised, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Gabriel smiled slightly. "As a mentor of light, I need to personally confirm your growth and guide you towards your next mission. Now, although the darkness in the Far North has been dispelled, the Dark Council is still stirring in the dark, plotting a bigger conspiracy."

"A bigger conspiracy?" Su Mei'er frowned, and the music seemed to become tense along with her mood.

"Yes," Gabriel nodded. "According to our intelligence, the Dark Council intends to awaken the sleeping ancient monsters. That is a force that is enough to shake the balance of the world. If they succeed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Alan held the war hammer tightly, his eyes determined: "No matter how deep they are hidden, we will find them."

"Very good," Gabriel nodded with satisfaction, "But this time, you must not only fight against the darkness outside, but also guard against the haze within your heart. The real challenge often begins with the demons within your heart."

The three of them looked at each other and reached a consensus in their hearts that this journey would be a test of both inner and outer cultivation.

"Before that, I have a gift for you." As he said that, Gabriel waved his hand, and three objects emitting faint light appeared in front of them: an ancient spell book appeared in Su Mei'er's hands, a bow and arrow shining with holy light fell into Allen's hands, and Xu Mo got a pair of glasses that seemed to be able to see through the essence of all things.

“These are treasures left behind by successive guardians. They can greatly enhance your power and are proof that you are the heirs of light,” Gabriel explained.

"We will never let these forces down." Xu Mo took the glasses solemnly with a firm tone.

"Then let's go. Time is running out." Gabriel's voice faded away in the wind, and his figure disappeared with it, leaving only one sentence echoing in the ears of the three people: "Remember, although the road to light is difficult, you will never be alone."

With Gabriel's departure, the three of them set out on their journey again. Their conversation ended at this point, but the story was far from over.

"No matter how big the storm in the future is, we will face it together." Alan looked up at the sky, with an unyielding light in his eyes.

"Yes, because we are messengers of light." Su Mei'er's piano music sounded again, and it seemed that even the air was filled with the breath of hope.

"And I," Xu Mo gently stroked the edge of his glasses, his eyes reflecting the resolute faces of his companions, "will use these eyes to see through every trace of darkness and protect every inch of light."

"Then it's settled," Alan raised the bow in his hand, with the sharp tip of the arrow pointing to the sky. "Whether it's an ancient monster or the shadow in our hearts, we will defeat them one by one and prove the power of light with practical actions."

The three people's words were full of unshakable determination and faith, and their smiles sparkled with infinite longing for the future. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world was shaken, and the seeds of light and hope took root and sprouted in every heart.

"Now, let's set off." Xu Mo took the first step and led the team forward. Their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the winding road, leaving only a series of solid footprints, witnessing the fearlessness and perseverance of the messenger of light.

In the next journey, they will not only face more powerful enemies, but also meet more like-minded partners. Every challenge will be a test of their faith and strength, and every victory will make the light of light more dazzling.

"But, to be honest, I haven't really seen your archery skills, Alan." Su Mei'er smiled as she walked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere of the past few days.

Allen grinned and patted the bow on his back: "Don't worry, when we find the lair of that ancient monster, I promise to show you what 'shooting two birds with one stone' means."

"What about me? I can use music to soothe pain and boost morale." Su Mei'er was not to be outdone. She lightly plucked the strings of the piano, and a melodious melody immediately flowed out, adding a bit of tenderness and strength to this heavy journey.

Xu Mo listened at the side, with a gentle smile on his face. "With you by my side, even the deepest darkness cannot frighten me. Because the light is always the brightest when it is most needed."

In the next few days, Xu Mo, Allen and Su Meier crossed countless mountains and rivers without stopping. Along the way, they not only had to face the harsh natural environment, but also had to be careful to guard against the tracking of the Dark Council. Despite this, their faith never wavered.

One evening, the team came to a desolate plain, and an ancient ruin was vaguely visible in the distance. The ruins stood in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if telling of its antiquity and mystery. The three of them took a short rest and prepared to rush to the ruins to explore before dark.

"We have to speed up, it may become more dangerous here after dark." Xu Mo reminded.

Alan nodded in agreement: "Yes, the minions of the Dark Council may appear behind us at any time."

Just as they quickened their pace, a wave of heat suddenly hit, and the air was filled with a burning smell. The three of them immediately became alert and looked around, trying to find the source of the heat.

"Look ahead!" Su Mei'er pointed forward, and saw a woman wrapped in flames slowly walking towards them. Her eyes flashed with a dangerous light, like a beast that could spit fire at any time.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in my territory?" The Fire Girl's voice was low and threatening.

Xu Mo took a step forward and tried to defuse the crisis with words: "We have no ill intentions, we are just passing by here and heading to explore the ruins."

The fire girl sneered, and the flames danced around her body more fiercely: "No matter what your purpose is, this is my territory. Anyone who trespasses will die!" (End of this chapter)
