Crossing the Phantom Valley, the team arrived in a mysterious canyon shrouded in mist. Every step here felt like walking in a dream, with phantoms lingering, attempting to test their determination and teamwork.
Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, and Han Che tightly held each other's hands, and the trust and cooperation between them became the key to their journey through the Phantom Valley.
In the depths of the canyon, phantom figures suddenly appear, each one a test, attempting to challenge their will and faith.
The first to appear is a lost soul, recounting its own suffering and helplessness, attempting to lure them into embracing the darkness.
"We cannot be fooled," the voice of the Underworld deity was firm and calm, "This is just an illusion, we must hold onto our beliefs."
Then appeared a false illusion, attempting to divide their team and sow discord among them.
"We cannot let illusions affect our friendship." The voice of Han Che was filled with determination and resolve, "We must work together and face all challenges hand in hand."
In the end, there appeared a tempting illusion, showing them their deepest desires and doubts.
"We must believe in each other, believe that we can overcome all difficulties hand in hand." Zhang Jin's voice is full of determination and courage, "Let's face every illusion together and move forward."
With their persistence and efforts, every illusion gradually dissipates, and the mist in the Phantom Valley also gradually disperses.
In the end, when they reached the depths of the canyon, they discovered a shining map fragment lying within the illusion.
Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, and Han Che were filled with joy and gratitude, knowing that this map fragment would be the key to finding the path to break the curse, as well as the strength to face future challenges together.
They put the map fragment into their bag, ready to face the next challenges and adventures.
After experiencing the Phantom Valley, Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, Han Che, and their companions continued their journey to the ancient altar.
Their next stop was the mysterious and unknown Dream Forest, a place said to be able to connect dreams and reality.
As the team ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, a faint mist began to pervade the surroundings, filling the air with a captivating exotic fragrance. The towering trees and lush foliage seemed to whisper ancient stories to them through every leaf.
"This place... is really different," Zhang Jin clutched his cloak tightly, looking uneasily at the spreading mist around him.
Underworld deity Stop, take a deep breath, as if searching for something. "Yes, this place is filled with ancient power, we must be careful. Night is about to fall, let's camp here. Tonight, we will enter our own dreams to find clues to the ancient altar."
As night falls, the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky. Each person in the group lies down quietly, waiting for the moment to enter the dream.
Zhang Jin dreams of standing in a huge sacrificial site, surrounded by hundreds of people conducting an ancient ritual. A voice whispers in her ear: "Find the altar, awaken the power, Thirteen as One, to calm the disaster."
The dream of Underworld deity is a battlefield, where heroes fiercely battle dark forces. He sees himself wielding a sword, fighting alongside his comrades. A hero turns to him and says, "True power comes from the purity of the soul and the trust between companions."
Han Che Then I dreamt of myself in an ancient library, filled with dusty books on the shelves.
I picked up a book, and a map appeared on its pages, with "Thirteen as One" marked at the center. Beside it, it said: "The cycle of history, the sacrifice of heroes, will guide you to the true source of power."
The next morning, as the morning light arrived, everyone woke up and gathered around the campfire to begin sharing their dreams.
"I dreamt of a grand ceremony, seemingly related to an ancient altar," Zhang Jin said nervously.
Underworld deity pondered and then said, "My dream is a battle, it tells me that true power comes from inner purity and trust in my companions."
Han Che excitedly displayed the ancient books and map from his dream, "I found a map that marks the location of 'Thirteen as One.'"
After discussing, they gradually understood the meaning of these dreams and decided to follow the guidance in the dreams to the location of the ancient altar.
As Zhang Jin and her companions embarked on the final stage of their journey to the "Thirteen as One" pivotal ancient altar, they were met with a colossal door looming before them—the Gate of Destiny.
This door stood amidst a vast expanse of mist, the air around it filled with an ancient and mysterious power, as if it had existed since time immemorial, guarding the secrets of the ancient altar.
Gate of Destiny is inscribed with complex runes, each rune shimmering with light, seemingly telling the history and secrets of the underworld.
Beside the gate stand two stone statues, one representing courage, the other representing wisdom, their eyes deep and penetrating, as if they can see into the heart of every visitor.
The team stood in front of the gate in silence, each person feeling an unprecedented pressure. This was not only a test of their courage and wisdom, but also a test of their determination and will.
"This is the final test," said the Underworld deity solemnly. "Beyond the Gate of Destiny lies the path to the ancient altar. But to open this door, we must make a choice."
The runic symbols on the gate began to glow, revealing a message: "Facing the Gate of Destiny, travelers must choose between courage and wisdom. Choosing courage will lead to unknown challenges; choosing wisdom will require unraveling the ultimate mystery."
The team began to discuss how to make the choice. Zhang Jin felt conflicted, as both courage and wisdom seemed necessary for success. Han Che firmly believed that only by fully utilizing their wisdom could they uncover all the secrets.
"We should choose wisdom," Han Che said, "so that we can truly understand the mystery of 'Thirteen as One' and find a way to quell the disaster."
Zhang Jin took a deep breath and finally nodded in agreement. The team walked towards the statue representing wisdom and together recited the declaration of choosing wisdom.
As their voices fell, the runes on the Gate of Destiny burst into dazzling light, and a portal slowly opened, revealing the path to the ancient altar.
They stepped onto the path leading to the altar, and with each step, the surroundings began to change. The mist gradually dissipated, revealing an ancient altar hidden in the valley.
There are twelve stone pillars surrounding the altar, each carved with a different pattern, and in the center is a huge circular sacrificial platform.
In the center of the altar, there is a golden sacrificial box inscribed with the rune "Thirteen as One".
