Chapter 69: The Edict of Fate

The radiance in front of them was like a gentle morning light, and the hearts of the four were filled with unprecedented excitement and tension. After passing through the huge black door, they seemed to have entered a brand new world, surrounded by a stunning sight: a sparkling lake reflecting the brilliant starry sky, surrounded by lush vegetation and strange flowers, and a dreamlike dust floating in the air, as if summoning them to explore deeper secrets.

What place is this? "Mo Yu exclaimed, looking at the dreamlike lake as if forgetting the fear and struggle she had just experienced.

Perhaps it is a testing ground created by fate, "Yao Ji said softly, feeling the peaceful atmosphere," everything we experience here is closely related to our choices

The water surface murmurs softly, the waves remain calm, yet it seems to contain endless wisdom and power. The four of them stood by the lake, their emotions gradually calmed down, their gazes met, and their understanding was filled with the steadfastness of their companions.

Let's go, we must find the key to this world, "Zeyu took a step forward, with a hint of calmness and persistence in his eyes." No matter what we encounter ahead, we must face it together

Just as the four of them were about to take the first step, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, and a beautiful and elegant white swan jumped out of the water waves. It danced lightly in the air and then landed by the lake, with bright and clear eyes, giving people an extraordinary tranquility. Swans seem to be able to see through human hearts with a hint of mystery.

You have finally arrived, I have been waiting for you for a long time. "The voice of the swan brushed its face like a gentle breeze, full of soft yet firm power." Welcome to the prophecy of fate, this is a place of trial that reveals the true nature of your hearts

Who are you? "Anna asked nervously, feeling that the swan was not just a wild creature, but some kind of presence that could guide them.

I am the messenger of fate, the guide of your deepest thoughts. "Swan smiled slightly, her gaze gentle yet firm." Here, you will face the test of your own hearts. Only by overcoming the shadows within can you gain new strength and courage to move forward

Mo Yu's heart trembled as he pondered, "What is the inner test? How should we face it

Everyone has their own fears and darkness, which need to be faced one by one. Only by turning these shadows into strength can you find the future that truly belongs to you. "The swan's tone became solemn, and the lake water fluctuated instantly. The four of them vaguely saw their own images in the lake.

Under the reflection of the lake, Anna saw her past lack of confidence and inner fear. That was a long memory, revealing her figure walking alone in the wind and rain time and time again. Every failed decision, every struggle and pain, seems to be replayed before our eyes.

Do I need to face all of this? "She clenched her fists and felt the waves in her heart, her voice filled with unease.

This is not a punishment, but an opportunity for rebirth, "Swan comforted softly." Only by facing your heart can you embrace growth and transformation

Your image shows your past, repeated struggles and avoidance. Can you accept yourself like this? "Swan's eyes lit up, looking straight at Anna.

Anna trembled for a moment, and a delicate swallow like breath flowed in her heart as she whispered, "I am always afraid of my own shortcomings and too much responsibility. I want to try my best to make up for it, but I am afraid of another failure

All heroes have vulnerabilities and flaws, accepting them is the greatest courage. "The white clouds in the sky flow slightly, and the gentle wind sounds as if telling the secret of fate." You must learn to forgive yourself and give yourself a chance to start over

Anna slowly released her tightly held hand, and the pain and turmoil gradually dissipated in her heart, as if in an instant, she felt the burden and unease in her heart gradually being relieved.

I understand now, I have to face my own vulnerability, not just escape. "She looked up, her gaze as firm as a star, as if emitting a new light in an imperceptible force.

Not bad, you've taken the first step, "Swan's eyes showed admiration, then turned to Yao Ji." And now, let's take a look at you, Brave Yao Ji

A picture flashed in front of Yao Ji's eyes: she had struggled, endured controversy and loneliness in the martial arts world in the past, and her heart that longed for recognition and following was like fire and frost intertwined among everyone, unbearable.

You are always helping others, but you forget what you want, "Swan whispered." Are you willing to let go of the burden and pursue your true self

I... "Yao Ji's voice was stuck in her throat, struggling and lost in thought. She vaguely sensed that she had been living in the expectations of others, but had never truly enjoyed her own time.

I long for recognition, but if I sacrifice myself, I will lose my true self. "She finally bravely faced her heart, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

The swan nodded slightly and said, "Recognizing this is the key to transcendence. We often lose ourselves in the face of external recognition, and only by seeking our inner truth can we achieve true freedom

Yaoji's soul grows as sublimation, and her desire emerges like the Taihu Lake Lake. She felt the truth and power of life gradually burst forth, turned around firmly and walked towards the swan, with a calm tone: "Thank you, I will pursue my true ideals, no matter what difficult situation it may be

Very good, you have put down the burden of the past, and the future will be brighter. "Swan nodded contentedly, then shifted her gaze to Mo Yu.

It's your turn, brave Mo Yu, "Swan spoke softly, as if expecting her reaction. The lake gradually calmed down, and the image of Mo Yu appeared.

In front of Mo Yu, her struggle and pain in pursuing strength emerged, and the feeling of loneliness surged again like a tide, constantly impacting her soul. The scenes of the past seem to be unfolding before our eyes, leaving us heartbroken.

I have always wanted to be strong and become a hero in the eyes of others, "Mo Yu furrowed her brows, feeling bitter in her heart." But the more I pursue, the more lonely and helpless I feel. I often wonder what I am really pursuing

Many people crave strength, but neglect the growth of their souls, "Swan said slowly." When strength becomes a burden, loneliness will also follow. You must find what your heart truly desires

Mo Yu took a deep breath, and the laughter of the four of them echoed in her ears, which was the source of her strength and the driving force behind her pursuit. She remembered the journey with Anna, Yaoji, and Zeyu, which was the warmest memory in her heart.

I will no longer consider myself lonely. I want to grow together with my friends. "Mo Yu's heart suddenly relaxed, like a gentle yet firm spring breeze brushing against her face." I will pursue strength, but I also long for our unity and companionship

Very good, you have taken a small step, but this is just the beginning. "Swan smiled and nodded, then turned to the last hero - Zeyu.

You have been pulling this force, now it's time for you to reflect. "The swan's voice was full of anticipation, as pleasant as a musical note.

What appeared in front of Zeyu was a meager version of himself. He recalled his lonely struggle, squandering his sharpness in battle, and often felt his struggles, confusion, and uncertainty about the future amidst endless life crises.

I am always fighting, but the more I fight, the more I want to escape. "Zeyu lowered his head, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion." There is an invisible pressure in my heart, and I always feel that there are too many expectations on my shoulders

This is not forbearance, but a sign of retreat, "Swan said gently, her gaze flowing like water, looking straight into Zeyu's heart." Have you ever thought about your feelings and morals in battle

Ideals and responsibilities, "Zeyu responded softly, every collision in his heart an irresistible echo." I want to protect everyone, but I have never asked myself, what is a true ideal

Ideals are not necessarily sacrifices, but rather the destination of your soul, the responsibility that you are willing to take on, "Swan continued, his eyes shining brightly." Only by understanding what you want can you no longer be lost in future battles

Zeyu's heart gradually brightened, and a firm light shone in his eyes: "I am willing to pursue my ideals, protect the people I cherish, and strive to make them realize their ideals as well

Very good! "Swan smiled, but there was a hint of depth in her eyes. You four heroes have all successfully overcome the inner test, but there are still deeper challenges waiting for you

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose on the surface of the lake, and the water surged like rolling waves. The figure of the swan gradually dissipated in the surging waves, and the harsh radiance returned to calmness. Immediately afterwards, a towering figure like a mountain appeared on the other side of the lake, emitting an unparalleled aura of authority.

I am the embodiment of fate, the shadow of the waves, the presence of guardians and guides. "The person's voice was low and majestic, as if coming from an abyss, making one suffocate." You have completed the inner test, but the true test has just begun

What do you want to do? "Anna stood sideways, looking alert.

To receive the blessings of fate, one must overcome the shadows of the soul and the fears reflected in it. "The voice of the Shadow of the Waves echoed through the sky and earth, striking the souls of the four people, and the sense of oppression immediately spread." Battle is the inevitable path, only by winning can one step out of this field

A deeper level of cultivation! "Yao Ji whispered, her ears echoing with shocking footsteps and invisible flapping. This trial will be the beginning of our true destiny

As the words of the Shadow of the Waves fell, the surrounding environment once again underwent earth shattering changes. The four of them felt an invisible pressure surging like waves, as if an unstoppable catastrophe had swept through.

Are you ready for the real test? "The shadow of the waves had a sharp gaze, like a knife tearing apart the night sky. The four of them tightly held each other's hands, their hearts filled with indomitable strength and courage. At this moment, they looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with determination and determination.

We're ready! "Zeyu's voice was loud and clear, echoing in the air like a war drum, conveying fearless faith.

The corners of the mouth of the Shadow of Waves slightly curled up, as if satisfied with the determination of these four people. Then, he took a step forward and suddenly extended his palm. In an instant, the sky darkened, the wind swept up, and the waves rolled like raging seas, as if announcing an upcoming test.

In this field, the visions that reflect your inner fears and desires will turn into real enemies, and only by defeating them can you achieve liberation. "The voice of the Shadow of Waves was like thunder, shaking deep in the hearts of the four people.

We will fight together! "Yao Ji raised the sword in her hand, its light flashing, reflecting her inner determination and fearlessness." No matter what, we will never give up

The four of them clenched their hands tightly, feeling each other's warmth and strength, and then took steps towards the rolling water waves and the oncoming enemy shadows.

At the moment they stepped into the water waves, countless ripples stirred up, as if figures emerged from the lake. That is the inner demon of the four, their fears and past transformed into forms, approaching.

Mo Yu, today you are no longer a strong person, but a shadow obscured by the setting sun. "A vision appeared on the water, reflecting Mo Yu's youthful figure, alone, with a beautiful face but unable to conceal his sadness. The senior brother she once thought of had a mocking smile on his lips.

You once wanted to use your strength to save, but never fought for your own ideas and existence! You are just a loser! "The illusion said coldly, like a piercing cold wind, leaving Mo Yu's brain blank.

No! I'm not a failure! I have my own value! "Mo Yu's heart surged like a tide, holding back the shock and anger in his heart, and suddenly moving forward," I now know that true heroes learn to accept their imperfections in their growth, rather than losing themselves in the eyes of others

As she shouted, the lake surged and shattered the madness of the illusion. The shadows trapped in the illusion gradually twisted into countless splashes and dissipated into the air.

At the same time, an exceptionally terrifying shadow appeared behind Yao Ji, a woman wearing a black robe with a blurry yet extremely familiar face. It was her senior sister from many years ago, and the glory and glory of the past seemed to reappear at this moment.

Do you think you can surpass me? You're just asking for trouble, a self righteous weakling. "With a mocking laugh, Black Shadow's heart began to shake.

Yaoji's heart trembled slightly as she recalled her past self. She longed so much to be recognized by her arrogant senior sister, yet she was completely immersed in that endless expectation and inferiority complex.

I understand now, "Yao Ji's tone was firm, and the long lost confidence in her heart rose again at this moment." I will no longer live for the expectations of others. I have my own pursuits and ideals. Only by being true to myself can I break through this darkness

The black shadow was gradually suppressed by her steadfastness, and Yao Ji stood tall with her head held high. The sword light in her hand was as brilliant as starlight, and the returning force forced the black shadow to dissipate in an instant, turning into countless light points that disappeared.

You are all cowardly and incompetent! "A gaze that grew in the lake transformed into a flying eagle, surrounding Anna with a threatening flicker. It looked down upon her with a proud posture, bringing endless sharpness and ridicule.

Can you become a true hero? You're so unbearable, you'll never be able to step out of the darkness, "Eagle Shadow complained, her low voice suffocating.

Anna's hands trembled slightly, and a hint of fear spread within her. However, when she thought of her friends, she realized that this was the real test she was facing. Only she can decide her own future.

I admit that I used to be fragile and confused, but the person I used to be is no longer the person I am now. "She took a deep breath, and the courage in her heart sublimated at this moment." I am willing to face my imperfections instead of wandering in denial. I will move forward all the way

As she shouted, the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse. Anna turned the situation around in her own sound waves, and the eagle shadow transformed into a gentle breeze, flying away and merging into the radiance.

Finally, Zeyu also faced his past, and behind him emerged the figure of a young man. It was the responsibility and inferiority that he had once carried that plunged into the mist deep inside his heart.

You can never defeat me, you're just escaping, your sword is useless, "the figure struck Zeyu's confidence and said coldly," I'll push you into the abyss, how can you escape

I won't escape, the past me didn't really catch a glimpse of myself because of that sleep. "Zeyu's anger ignited in his heart, and he deeply knew that only by fighting can he break free from constraints.

I understand my responsibility is to protect my friends, but I cannot ignore my own growth because of this. "His voice sounded like a battle horn, resolute as ever, and then charged towards the phantom.

At this moment, the sword in his hand flickered with endless radiance, as if responding to his inner desires and military prowess, striking a phantom. The sword light completely shattered the dark figure, accompanied by a shockwave. Zeyu stood in the dazzling light, filled with an unprecedented sense of ease.

As the inner demons of the four individuals gradually turned into shadows, they all found themselves through continuous struggle and breakthroughs. The darkness in their hearts gradually dissipated, and their beliefs became increasingly firm.

At that moment, the shadow of the waves cast its gaze with satisfaction on its face. He nodded vigorously and said, "You have completed the initial trial, and your inner fears have dissipated. Now, let me welcome your final fate decision

The four of them looked at each other again, their eyes sparkling with trust and support, fearlessly moving forward.

This time, they learned what a true hero is and also understood that everyone's soul needs to go through trials. It is these choices that have gone through hardships and trials that have created countless heroic and warm forces.

As long as we are together, no matter how precarious the future may be, we will embrace challenges! "Anna smiled faintly, casting a warm glow.

That's right! "Yao Ji's sword gleamed with unwavering determination.

We will always be each other's strongest support! "Mo Yu responded, his courage surging like the sea in his heart.

Unity is invincible, fearless and fearless! "Zeyu encouraged loudly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

In this firm commitment, the four heroes finally broke free from their inner demons and prepared to embrace their own destiny and future. In the face of the upcoming challenges, they are companions, heroes, and even spiritual wanderers favored by the God of Fate!
