I stood in the center of the dilapidated attic, dust slowly drifting down in the moonlight. 0
 
"Is this where your parents left their diary?" Fei Wan asked softly, a hint of tension in her voice. 0
 
I nodded, my throat tightening. "Yes." 0
 
I walked to the corner of the room and lifted a loose floorboard. Beneath it lay a wooden box, containing several yellowed diaries and some old photographs. 0
 
With trembling hands, I picked up the first diary and opened the cover. Familiar, elegant handwriting greeted me—it was my mother's. 0
 
"The first entry was written on my sixth birthday," I said softly, my voice catching. 0
 
Fei Wan moved closer and gently wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "Are you okay?" 0
 
I took a deep breath. "I'm fine." 0
 
I continued flipping through the pages, an increasing sense of unease settling in my chest. My parents frequently mentioned a creature called the "Eye of Time and Space." 0
 
"Eye of Time and Space..." I murmured to myself. "It can manipulate time and space, create illusions, distort reality." 0
 
Fei Wan gasped. "That sounds terrifying." 0
 
I nodded. "It seems my parents were secretly researching it, trying to establish contact." 0
 
Suddenly, my hand stopped on the last page. "Oh my God..." My voice trembled. 0
 
"What is it?" Fei Wan asked anxiously. 0
 
"They... they discovered Wu Mingyuan's conspiracy," I managed to say. "To stop him, they decided to sacrifice themselves and seal away the Eye of Time and Space." 0
 
 
Tears shimmered in Fei Wan's eyes. "Your parents were true heroes." 0
 
I closed the diary, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me—grief, anger, pride—all intertwining. 0
 
"I must complete the mission they left unfinished." I clenched my fists, my voice resolute. 0
 
At that moment, I noticed a photograph tucked into the last page of the diary. It depicted an ancient altar, with a strange symbol carved in its center. 0
 
"What is this?" I asked, pointing at the symbol. 0
 
Fei Wan examined it closely. "It looks like some kind of ancient ritual. Perhaps... perhaps we can use it to connect with the Eye of Time and Space?" 0
 
We exchanged a glance, both recognizing the determination reflected in each other's eyes. 0
 
Following the instructions from the photograph, we set up a makeshift altar in the attic. Fei Wan lit candles and began to chant incantations. 0
 
As the words flowed from her lips, the air began to warp. The symbol on the altar emitted a faint glow. 0
 
Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the center of the altar. The blinding light forced me to shut my eyes. 0
 
When I opened them again, I was astounded by what lay before me. 0
 
We found ourselves in a distorted realm, where bizarre sights continuously shifted around us. 0
 
"We... we really entered the illusion of the Eye of Time and Space," Fei Wan's voice trembled slightly. 0
 
I saw my parents as they were in their youth, researching the Eye of Time and Space. I also witnessed scenes of Wu Mingyuan's conspiracy as he attempted to harness the power of the Eye to control the world. 0
 
 
Anger burned within me. "I must stop him." 0
 
At that moment, a powerful force swept over me. 0
 
I turned sharply, seeing a gigantic eye appear in the illusion. 0
 
It radiated a dazzling light, as if it intended to swallow everything. 0
 
"Eye of Time and Space..." I murmured, my heart racing. 0
 
Fei Wan gripped my hand tightly. "What should we do?" 0
 
I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down. 0
 
"I have to communicate with it," I said firmly. 0
 
I stepped forward to the Eye of Time and Space, extending my hand. As my hand passed through its form, a strange energy flowed into me. 0
 
I felt its emotions—sadness, anger, loneliness. 0
 
"I understand your feelings," I thought. "I have lost my parents too. But we cannot let Wu Mingyuan succeed." 0
 
The light of the Eye of Time and Space gradually softened. It began to convey information to me. 0
 
"You say... you can help me stop Wu Mingyuan?" I asked in astonishment. 0
 
The Eye of Time and Space's response made my heart race even faster. 0
 
 
"I need to merge my soul with yours?" I repeated, my voice trembling slightly. 0
 
Fei Wan gasped, "That's too dangerous!" 0
 
I glanced back at her, determination shining in my eyes. "To stop Wu Mingyuan, to fulfill my parents' unfinished business, I am willing to pay any price." 0
 
The light of the Eye of Time and Space enveloped me. I felt my soul merging with it. 0
 
An unprecedented power surged within me. I sensed the flow of time and space. 0
 
When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in the attic. 0
 
Fei Wan looked at me anxiously. "Are you okay?" 0
 
I shook my head, a faint smile appearing on my lips. "I'm fine. I've gained the power of the Eye of Time and Space." 0
 
Her eyes sparkled with delight. "That's great! Now we can stop Wu Mingyuan." 0
 
Just then, a powerful presence suddenly approached. 0
 
The wooden beams of the attic creaked ominously, dust swirling in the air. 0
 
I turned sharply to see Wu Mingyuan's figure appear in the doorway, a nauseatingly cold smile on his face. 0
 
"You can't escape my grasp!" he roared as he lunged toward us. 0
 
I stepped in front of Fei Wan, drawing my sword to confront him. 0
 
 
The sword's edge sliced through the air, grazing Wu Mingyuan's sleeve. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and then his attacks became even more ferocious. 0
 
I relied on my agile movements to evade while searching for a chance to counterattack. 0
 
Fei Wan's ability—manipulating vines—snaked around Wu Mingyuan's body like a ghost, briefly binding him. 0
 
Seizing the opportunity, I thrust my sword toward his chest, only to be blocked by his protective energy. 0
 
"Eye of Time and Space!" I called out, and the surroundings began to warp, illusions springing forth endlessly. 0
 
Wu Mingyuan roared, swinging his sword in an attempt to break through the illusion. But his movements grew slower, and he fell into chaos. 0
 
Fei Wan and I coordinated seamlessly, finally finding an opening. My sword pierced through his protective energy, its tip pressing against his throat. 0
 
A glimmer of despair flashed in Wu Mingyuan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a strange smile. 0
 
He suddenly produced a black box. "Did you think you had won?" he sneered. 0
 
He opened the box to reveal a black orb radiating an evil aura. 0
 
"This is the Dark Heart," Wu Mingyuan said with a cold laugh. "It can devour all light." 0
 
He tossed the Dark Heart into the air. A powerful force enveloped the entire attic, suppressing my Eye of Time and Space abilities. 0
 
We were plunged into crisis. 0
 
At that moment, a familiar presence suddenly emerged. 0
 
 
I turned around to see Xiao Hui standing at the attic door, its eyes filled with fury. 0
 
It let out a sharp cry and charged at Dark Heart. 0
 
Xiao Hui's body radiated a white light, colliding with the black glow of Dark Heart. 0
 
The two forces countered each other, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction. 0
 
Wu Mingyuan watched in terror, clearly not expecting his strongest weapon to be obliterated by a beast. 0
 
I seized the opportunity and landed a heavy punch on Wu Mingyuan's face. He staggered back and finally fell to the ground. 0
 
Fei Wan immediately stepped forward, using her powers to seal Wu Mingyuan. 0
 
As the dust settled, moonlight poured back into the attic, illuminating our weary yet relieved faces. 0
 
"We did it," I whispered, my voice filled with disbelief. 0
 
Fei Wan nodded, tears shimmering in her eyes. "Yes, we completed what your parents could not." 0
 
Just then, a sudden rush of footsteps echoed from outside the attic. 0
 
We turned alertly toward the door. 0
