Xuan Yang stood before the crumbling temple, feeling the surge of power within him, his thoughts swirling like a tempest.
In the palm of his hand, the power of the Puppet Master flowed like a gentle stream, sometimes morphing into a grotesque mask and at other times into a roaring beast's head, unpredictable yet firmly under his control.
The dissipating presence of the Lord of Shadows did not bring him the relief he had anticipated; instead, it weighed him down with an even greater burden. What the hell was this? Why did it feel more exhausting than before? He forced a bitter smile and shook his head, trying to cast away these negative emotions.
The secrets hidden within the temple, the mission he bore, and the challenges that lay ahead loomed over him like mountains, making it hard for him to breathe. The eerie murals inside the temple, the mysterious altar, and the unsettling power that made his heart race—what did they all signify?
He didn’t know, but he understood that everything was intricately connected to him. He felt like a pawn pushed to the forefront of fate's game, powerless yet compelled to confront it. Taking a deep breath, he struggled to calm his racing heart; he knew he could not be crushed by this pressure. He had to grow stronger. Only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and those around him, unravel the layers of mystery, and find the ultimate answer.
Clenching his fists and feeling the surging power within him, his gaze gradually grew resolute. Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed in his ear: “Young man, you are doing well.” The voice resonated like a bell at dawn, bringing with it a calming force that instantly soothed his inner turmoil.
Turning towards the source of the voice, Xuan Yang saw Lu Zhiyuan standing behind him, having appeared without notice. With hair as white as snow yet youthful features, he exuded vitality in a flowing green robe that danced gently in the breeze, resembling a tall Qing Song tree standing firm against the elements.
“Village Chief?” Xuan Yang exclaimed in surprise; he hadn’t expected Lu Zhiyuan to be here. He quickly bowed respectfully and asked, “Village Chief, what brings you here?”
Lu Zhiyuan stepped closer and patted Xuan Yang on the shoulder. “You have successfully awakened the power of the Puppet Master. Now, what you need to do is continuously enhance your strength to prepare for the challenges ahead.”
His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable authority. “Challenges?” Xuan Yang questioned with confusion. “What challenges?” With the Lord of Shadows gone, what could possibly be more daunting?
Lu Zhiyuan sighed deeply, his gaze penetrating as if seeing through time itself into a distant future. “The shadow forces are just one of many threats we face; there are even more powerful enemies lurking in the dark, waiting for their moment.” His voice was low and tinged with a sense of helplessness and concern.
A chill ran down Xuan Yang’s spine; he knew Lu Zhiyuan wouldn’t speak lightly. The challenges he mentioned must be extraordinary. A wave of dread washed over him—was there something even stronger? How could one survive this? “Village Chief, can you tell me what kind of enemies we are truly facing?” Xuan Yang asked eagerly, filled with a desire for truth.
He was desperate to know what lay ahead and what he would soon confront.
Lu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Now is not the time. When you are strong enough, I will tell you everything." Some things were not meant for him to know just yet.
Xuan Yang felt a surge of confusion, but he understood that pressing for answers now would be futile. He could only nod silently. Since the Village Chief chose not to speak, he would refrain from asking further, instead opting to seek answers through his own actions. "Next, you need to unite with other villages to collectively confront the impending crisis," Lu Zhiyuan continued. "I have already sent people to contact the leaders of other villages; they will arrive here soon." Uniting with other villages to form an alliance and jointly combat the enemy was their only way forward.
Xuan Yang's heart stirred; he recognized the critical importance of the alliance Lu Zhiyuan mentioned. Only by coming together could they stand against a more formidable foe. Taking a deep breath, he looked resolute and said, "I understand, Village Chief. I will do my utmost to unite the other villages."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded with appreciation and replied, "I believe in you, Xuan Yang." Just then, several figures soared in from the distance, moving like lightning and landing in front of the dilapidated temple in an instant.
They were agile and exuded a powerful aura; it was evident they were experts. These individuals were the leaders of other villages, all possessing extraordinary abilities. Some wore tight-fitting outfits and wielded sharp blades; others donned robes and held staffs; still others were clad in animal skins with long bows in hand, each radiating a unique presence. "Village Chief Lu, we have arrived," boomed one burly leader with a thick beard.
His voice resonated like thunder, causing ears to ring. Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Thank you all for coming. Today we will discuss how to unite and confront the impending crisis together." His tone was steady yet carried an undeniable authority. The other leaders nodded in agreement; they understood the gravity of the situation and recognized that only by uniting could they face a stronger enemy.
Thus began a serious discussion about forming an alliance, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
Xuan Yang stood quietly to the side, listening intently to their discussions. He knew he bore significant responsibility and must strive to enhance his strength to live up to everyone's expectations. His gaze was firm, filled with determination. At that moment, a powerful malevolent aura suddenly emerged from outside the valley, like dark clouds looming overhead, enveloping the entire area.
This aura was chilling and sinister, carrying an oppressive weight that made everyone present feel a sinking sensation in their hearts. "This is bad; it's remnants of the Shadow Forces!" one leader exclaimed in shock and fear.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they realized that a great battle was inevitable. They had not anticipated that remnants of the Shadow Forces still existed and had arrived so swiftly. "Prepare for battle!" Lu Zhiyuan commanded in a low voice. Though his tone was subdued, it was filled with strength, instilling an inexplicable sense of security among them.
The leaders swiftly drew their weapons, standing ready for the challenge ahead. The air crackled with tension as blades glinted and staffs shimmered; arrows were nocked as a murderous intent spread throughout the valley.
Xuan Yang also summoned his Shadow Puppet, preparing for a decisive battle against their foes. Dark shadows surged behind him, transforming into menacing Puppet Masters that let out silent roars. Outside the valley, remnants of the Shadow Forces surged forth like a tidal wave, brimming with aggression and bloodlust.
They were clad in black armor, wielding sharp blades, their faces twisted in a grotesque manner, like demons crawling out of hell.
An intense battle was about to erupt. Could the alliance before the ruined temple withstand this powerful force of evil? What fate awaited Xuan Yang?
