Chapter 812 "Revelation from the Ancient Book"

"So, what does this scroll say?" Zhang Meng stared at the ancient scroll and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Take your time. Don't rush." ​​Qin Feng flipped through the book with a serious expression. "These contents are not only complex, but also full of metaphors and symbols. It records not only wisdom, but also the deep mysteries of our world."

"Secret? It sounds like some kind of super secret." Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure.

"It is indeed a super secret." Qin Feng smiled slightly, "It mentions the balance of the world, the source of power, and the position of mankind in this world."

"I guess this is another complicated philosophical question?" Ye Li took a closer look at the scroll. Although she could understand the runes, the profound contents made her frown.

"Philosophy, or the rules of the universe." Qin Feng said softly, "The book mentioned that the world we live in is actually maintained by a force called 'energy core'. And all the tests we encounter along the way are to protect the balance of this core power."

"Energy core? That sounds like the source of some kind of superpower!" Zhang Meng interrupted excitedly, "Can we learn some powerful tricks and save the world like those heroes?"

"Don't always think about fighting and killing." Chu Tian smiled and patted his shoulder, "Listen to Qin Feng."

"The energy core is indeed like the source of power of the world." Qin Feng explained, "but it is not used to give individuals powerful abilities. It is more like the 'heart' of the world, maintaining the balance and order of this world."

"Then those guardians we faced before were also there to protect this 'heart'?" Ye Li asked.

Qin Feng nodded. "The book mentioned that the test of strength and wisdom is actually to let those who are close to the core prove that they are capable of maintaining balance. Because once the energy core gets out of control, the whole world will fall into chaos."

"Then we passed the test, which means we are qualified 'Balancers', right?" Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "It seems that I still have the potential to become a savior!"

"Don't be in a hurry to celebrate." Li Xiao said coldly, "Does the book mention what we should do next?"

"Yes." Qin Feng turned to the last page of the book and said softly, "We are now the 'guardians' of the energy core. Our mission is not only to pass on this wisdom, but also to ensure that no one tries to break this balance."

"Guardian?" Zhang Meng was stunned. "You mean, we are the kind of people who always stand behind the boulder, holding weapons to guard against bad guys?"

"Almost." Qin Feng smiled, "But the meaning of protection is broader. It is not just about fighting, but also about understanding and guiding."

"Oh, it sounds like this is not just a hero's job, but also a teacher's job?" Zhang Meng touched his chin, "Do I have to teach others what 'balance' is?"

"You may be the least suitable person to be a teacher." Ye Li teased, "Imagine that all your students become the same 'rushing around' type as you."

"Hey, I have my own way!" Zhang Meng said dissatisfiedly, "Courage is also a part of wisdom!"

"Well, brave guardian of wisdom." Chu Tian said with a smile, "But then again, how can we bear such a heavy responsibility?"

"I think this is the ultimate purpose of the test." Qin Feng said calmly, "Each of us came here with our own strengths, and the task of protecting the balance cannot be accomplished by one person, but by all of us."

"It sounds like a long adventure." Ye Li sighed, "But I guess we have no choice."

"That's right." Li Xiao said, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "It is the responsibility of every strong person to protect the balance of the world."

"Then I officially declare that from now on, we are the world's 'Balance Team'!" Zhang Meng raised his hand excitedly, "Future adventures all depend on us!"

"Can you change the name?" Ye Li smiled helplessly, "'Balance Team' sounds like some kind of children's cartoon show."

"Hey, I just picked a random name!" Zhang Meng scratched his head, "But the name is not important, what is important is our mission!"

"I agree with you this time." Qin Feng nodded and closed the book. "The name is just a formality. What really matters is how we face the challenges in the future."

"So, does the book mention where we should go next?" Chu Tian asked.

"There is no clear guidance." Qin Feng frowned and thought, "But I think the knowledge in the book is infinite. We need to slowly interpret it to find more answers."

"So, now it's our free time?" Zhang Meng said with a relaxed expression. "I thought we were about to face some new and huge challenge."

"Maybe this is the new challenge - how to use the wisdom we have gained." Qin Feng said calmly.

"You always make simple things sound so profound." Zhang Meng laughed, "But, that's just right. I plan to relax first and then think about 'wisdom'."

"Once you relax, you become lazy." Ye Li shook her head and smiled.

"This is called restoring energy!" Zhang Meng retorted, "We have experienced so many battles along the way, proper rest is very important!"

Qin Feng looked at the ancient book in front of him and sighed softly. He knew that although the adventure in front of him had come to an end temporarily, their mission had just begun. And this mission was not only for themselves, but also for the future of this world.

"We still have a long way to go." Qin Feng said softly.

"That's right, but at least we won't be alone." Ye Li said with a smile.

"Of course!" Zhang Meng held up the amulet in his hand, "With me here, any challenge will not be a problem!"

"You'd better not be too complacent." Li Xiao said coldly, "The road ahead may be more difficult than you think."

"Difficult? That's exactly the challenge I like!" Zhang Meng's face was full of confidence, as if he was ready to face all unknown adventures.

The few of them smiled at each other. Although they already knew the heavy responsibility in the future, their hearts were full of hope and confidence. No matter what they faced next, they would face it together and protect the balance of the world with wisdom and courage.

"A new adventure is waiting for us." Qin Feng said finally, with a firm tone in his voice.

"Let's go!" Zhang Meng took a big step forward, looking excited, "This is the real beginning!"

The steps of several people are firm, and the light ahead illuminates their way. This time, they are not just fighting for themselves, but for the future of the entire world.
