In the depths of the Atlantic, shrouded in ancient legends, the raging winds and towering waves seemed to be nature's most passionate symphony, with each splash carrying the secrets and lamentations of Atlantis's demise. Jack and I stood side by side at the bow of the ship, gazing at the endless sea, filled with both anticipation and unease for the adventure that lay ahead.
"Li Jin, do you think we can find fragments of Atlantis?" Jack's voice was low and filled with awe, his gaze piercing through the waves as if he could already see that time-forgotten sanctuary.
I tightly gripped the Navigator, its faint glow flickering amidst the waves, pointing to a specific spot in the deep sea. "We must find it, Jack. This is our mission as guardians, and it is also our last hope to repair the Time Rift."
As the submarine slowly descended, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, replaced by a profound blue-black darkness. The cold seawater enveloped us, as if it could freeze all life. Yet within this silence lay endless vitality and hope.
The submarine's lights pierced through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead and revealing ancient ruins resting on the seabed. They stood either majestically or in ruins, each telling tales of past glory and hardship.
Just as we eagerly explored this mysterious underwater world, the Navigator suddenly emitted a piercing alarm, shattering the tranquility around us. A swarm of shadows surged from a cave deep within, surrounding us like ghosts in the night.
Leading them was Zhao Wuji, our relentless adversary. Clad in the most advanced diving gear, his eyes sparkled with a mix of greed and madness, as if he intended to claim all treasures of the seabed for himself.
"Li Jin, oh Li Jin, you have not disappointed me," Zhao Wuji's voice came through the underwater communicator, laced with arrogance and mockery. "Hand over the fragments you hold; they rightfully belong to someone more capable. If you cooperate, I promise you and your friends will live in abundance."
However, faced with Zhao Wuji's temptation and threats, I merely smiled coldly.
"Zhao Wuji, do you really think I care about worldly wealth and riches? What I seek is the truth of history and justice of time. These fragments are not commodities for trade; they are bridges connecting past and future, foundations for maintaining world stability."
My tone was firm and powerful as I continued: "You may possess countless riches and technological power, but you will never understand the resolve and beliefs of a guardian. The power of time is sacred and inviolable; anyone who attempts to manipulate it will face punishment."
I paused to emphasize my words: "And do you really think you can control the power of time? Let me tell you that no one can harness it. It must be respected and protected. Your actions will ultimately bring disaster to the world."
My words conveyed both warning and disdain toward Zhao Wuji: "Zhao Wuji, stand down. Your greed and ambition will only lead you to destruction. We will not yield to your threats nor be swayed by your temptations. I am a guardian of time; I must protect this world from your destruction." I would never allow any fragments to fall into their hands.
As soon as I finished speaking, Zhao Wuji's face turned pale with rage. He roared, "You refuse to drink my toast and instead choose punishment! Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
