Ming Hua staggered, her knees hitting the mist-covered ground. Chen rushed to support her, while Li Wei carefully picked up the floating crystal.

“You did it,” Chen whispered in amazement. “You really beat them.”

“No,” Ming Hua shook her head weakly, cold sweat pouring down her face. “Not completely. All we captured were... fragments of them stored here. The original Seekers...”

“Still out there,” Li Wei finished, observing the crystal in his hand. The golden light within it swirled around like miniature storm clouds. “But at least now they can't use this place to reincarnate.”

Ming Hua tried to stand up, still leaning against Chen. Her head felt spinning, filled with fragments of the vision she had seen while controlling the mist earlier.

“Something's strange,” she murmured. “When I pulled out those fragments... I saw something. Like... like memories that don't belong to them.”

Li Wei frowned. “What do you mean?”

“The Seekers... they don't just keep a part of themselves in this mist.

    “He started to wake up,” Wu Ling's voice was drowned in the hardening rumble, ”and when he opened his eyes fully...”Her sentence never finished. A wave of energy swept down from the mountain peak, carrying a strange scent - like ozone after a storm, but somehow more... ancient. Ming Hua felt her jade necklace tremble so strongly that it nearly fell off.“Take cover!” Li Wei shouted, pulling Chen behind a boulder. Ming Hua was about to follow when something held her back - a sensation that was both familiar and unfamiliar.Fog. But not the purple mist she was used to controlling. This was an older, more... fundamental mist. Like the raw substance that made up reality itself.“Ming Hua!” Chen shouted frantically, but his voice sounded distant, muffled by the thickening mist.“Don't move!” Wu Ling exclaimed. “That mist... that's the guardian's memory leaking out!”Ming Hua was rooted to the spot, feeling the mist creep over her skin like water flowing backwards. And with each touch, she

    The path created by the old mist brought them closer and closer to the summit. Ming Hua could feel the song of the Seekers growing louder - not only in her ears, but in every fiber of her being. The words in the ancient language they spoke were wrong, but the power behind them was still... jarring.“They've almost reached it,” Wu Ling whispered, staring at the crystal in her hand that was now pulsing with an increasingly chaotic rhythm. “The boundary between sleep and wakefulness...”Before she could finish her sentence, a blast of energy swept down from the peak - not light or sound, but something more fundamental. Like reality itself screaming.Ming Hua felt the path of mist she had created begin to waver. The old memories that made her up trembled, trying to break free of her control.“Hold on!” she exclaimed, closing her eyes and trying to focus on the rhythm flowing through her. But something was different now - like a new note in the symphony of reality.“He's starting to wake u

    The mist that enveloped the mountain slowly faded away, leaving behind a strange sensation that electrified the air. Ming Hua could still feel the remnants of the conversation with the Guardian in her every breath - as if reality itself had changed at the most fundamental level.“We must move,” Wu Ling broke the silence, his eyes still fixed on the crystal that was now glowing with a calmer light. “The Seekers may have failed to awaken the other Guardians, but they will not give up so easily.”Ming Hua nodded slowly, but her mind was still dwelling on what had just happened. The evolution in the Guardian's consciousness was no small thing - this was a change that would reverberate throughout time.“Ming Hua?” Chen touched her shoulder gently. “Are you alright?”“Yes, just...” she paused for a moment, searching for the right words. “There's something different now. Like... a new melody in the song of the world.”Li Wei, who had been silently observing his surroundings, suddenly pointed

    The air vibrated with alien energy as the Seekers stepped forward, the traces of the Guardians glowing in their grasp like dying stars. Ming Hua could feel every molecule in the air as if screaming - reality itself rejecting what they were trying to do.“They don't understand,” Kai whispered beside her, his eyes that now carried an alien gleam staring intently at the enemies. “This power is not meant to be... controlled.”“Like they tried to do to you?” Ming Hua asked softly, observing how her best friend now moved with unnatural grace - like water flowing against gravity.“Yes,” Kai nodded, a sad smile playing on his lips. “But they didn't take one thing into account.”“What?”“That to truly understand the power of the Guardians...” he held out his hand, and the air around him began to tremble in a way that was both familiar and unfamiliar, ”...you must be willing to change with it.”As if in response to her words, the traces of the Guardians in the Seekers' grasp began to pulsate fa

    Rivers of light flowed through the air like auroras trapped between dimensions, carrying with each wave whispers of evolving reality. Ming Hua gazed at the phenomenon with a mixture of awe and concern. Although beautiful, she could sense there was something... incomplete in these changes.“You feel it too?” Kai asked softly, his unfamiliar sparkling eyes focused on a point in the distance.“Yes,” Ming Hua nodded. “Like a song missing a few notes.”“Or like a story missing one of its important characters,” a new voice interrupted from behind them.They turned quickly, surprised to find the figure standing there - a young man with eyes that somehow carried the scars of an unspeakably long journey.“Jihan,” Ming Hua whispered, recognizing the figure that had become a legend among truth-seekers. “How...”“How did I end up here?” Jihan smiled, but there was something in her smile that felt... old. Much older than her years. “Because the evolution you started not only changed the future...

  • The challenger of Destiny   Lost Traces

    The crystal flake in Jihan's hand pulsed with an increasingly complex rhythm, as if responding to every change in the flow of reality around them. But there was something different in the way he held it now - like someone who had long carried a burden that could not be shared with anyone.“You have something to tell us, don't you?” Ming Hua asked softly, observing how the shadows flickered in Jihan's old eyes.Jihan was silent for a moment, her eyes fixed on the river of light flowing through the air. When he finally spoke, his voice carried the weight of the thousands of memories he had witnessed.“You ever wonder why the Seekers are so obsessed with perfection?” she asked, but her tone implied that this wasn't really a question. “Why are they willing to sacrifice everything-even their own souls-to create a static system?”“Because they fear change,” Kai replied, repeating the understanding they had reached earlier.“Yes,” Jihan nodded. “But that fear... has much deeper roots than yo

  • The challenger of Destiny   Knitted Traces

    That night, when the river of light was still glowing with its new rhythm, Jihan felt something different in her crystal flake. The vibrations no longer carried only echoes of the past - there was something deeper, darker, trying to whisper something.“There is something you don't know about the Dancers,” she said softly, her eyes fixed on the shadows flashing in the crystal. “Something that even the Guardians try to forget.”Ming Hua felt her fog thicken, responding to the tension that suddenly filled the air. “What do you mean?”Jihan rose slowly, and for the first time, they saw the true burden she carried. Not just the weight of knowledge or responsibility, but the weight of a choice that had haunted him for centuries.“The Dancers...” she began, her voice trembling with unstoppable emotion, ”they didn't really disappear.”The words hung in the air like a knife ready to fall. Kai and Wu Ling exchanged glances, while Li Wei instinctively clutched his own crystal tightly.“But you s

  • The challenger of Destiny   The Buried Secret

    When Jihan began to tell her story, her voice took them to a place they had never imagined before. Not to the past they had seen in the crystal, but to something more personal, deeper.“There's something I've never told anyone,” she began, her eyes darting off into the distance that only she could see. “Something about why I truly understand the Dancers.”Ming Hua sensed a change in Jihan's tone - there was an ancient sadness there, a sadness that had matured over the centuries.“I...” Jihan continued, his hands gripping the crystal flakes until his knuckles turned white, “I was once one of them.”The confession fell like a stone into the still pond, creating ripples that shook the reality around them. Kai and Wu Ling exchanged surprised glances, while Chen involuntarily stepped back.“How is that possible?” Li Wei finally asked, his voice almost a whisper.Jihan raised the crystal, and this time the light formed a different image - more personal, more intimate. They saw a younger, fr
