Chapter 671

Through their perseverance and determination, they gradually unlocked the secrets of the hidden realm. They discovered ancient repositories of knowledge, filled with texts and artifacts that provided deeper insights into the island's energies and the advanced techniques of the ancient civilization. They also encountered the guardians of the realm, ethereal beings of light and wisdom who offered guidance and support.

Inside, they found a vast chamber with a central altar, much like the ones on their island but on a grander scale. At the center of the altar was a crystalline sphere, radiating a brilliant, golden light.
