Princess Lily Arrives

Guan Lili and her team stood under a magnificent starry sky, with the silver light path under their feet extending to the gate of the sky in the distance. It all seemed like a dream, unbelievable.

"Is this place... really real?" He Shaoyan rubbed his eyes and looked at the scene around him in disbelief.

"Welcome to the 'Realm of Stars'." A deep and ancient voice suddenly came from the air, as if the entire starry sky was echoing.

Lily quickly assumed a guarded posture, her hand tightly clenched on the dagger, while Black Hawk quickly drew his weapon. Everyone looked around nervously, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Who is it? Where are you?" Lily asked calmly.

"I am the guardian of the Sky Gate and the ruler of the Star Realm." The voice was steady and powerful, and it seemed to travel through time and space, echoing directly in their minds.

"Guardian? Then the purpose of our coming here, the 'Star Key', is it with you?" Lily asked directly. She knew that time was running out and the people from the Deep Shadow Alliance might catch up at any time.

The voice was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The 'Star Key' is not a simple object. It symbolizes endless power and wisdom. If you want to get it, you must pass the test."

"Another test?" He Shaoyan rolled his eyes. "It's always like this. Can you be more direct? We don't have time to play guessing games now."

The voice laughed in a deep voice: "The test is not a game, but a necessity of fate. Only by passing the test can you prove that you are qualified to control the power of the 'Key of the Stars'."

Lily pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said firmly, "We accept the test. No matter what the challenge is, we will overcome it."

The voice continued, "Very good. The first test will test your teamwork ability. The light path in front of you leads to the gate of the sky. But there are invisible obstacles along the way. Only by relying on mutual trust and tacit understanding can you reach the end."

Lily nodded and signaled everyone: "We have no choice but to move forward. Everyone pay attention and stay alert."

The team moved forward cautiously along the light path. At first everything was calm, but not long after they walked, the silver light path suddenly began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding starry sky seemed to be distorted, as if an invisible force was interfering with their senses.

"I feel something is wrong, as if I'm walking in a maze." Xiao Zhao frowned, "My sense of direction is completely gone."

"Don't panic, stay calm!" Lily raised her voice, "Follow me closely, don't separate!"

Suddenly, a strong light shot from the sky and hit their light path. The entire light path split in an instant, and Lily's team was instantly scattered in different areas.

"Oh no!" Lily's heart tightened, but she did not panic and quickly adjusted her state. She stood on a floating starry sky, and the light path around her was broken, like a series of isolated islands.

"It seems we have to find our own way out." Lily muttered to herself. She decided to observe the surrounding environment first. In the distance, she could vaguely see several figures, who seemed to be her teammates, but there were countless invisible obstacles between them.

At the same time, He Shaoyan’s dilemma.

He Shaoyan stood at the end of the broken light path, with a seemingly endless void in front of him. He tried to move forward, but he stepped on empty air and almost fell.

"I told you, this test is too unreasonable!" He Shaoyan complained helplessly and shook his head, "It would be better if I could face the enemy head-on."

Suddenly, the voice of the guardian sounded in his mind: "What you lack is not strength, but trust and reliance on others. In solitude, you will find the real answer."

He Shaoyan was stunned, with a puzzled expression on his face: "What does this mean?"

He began to carefully recall the cooperation with his teammates along the way, remembering that he often complained and teased, but in fact he relied on Lily's command very much. Every time he encountered danger, Lily stepped forward and led everyone out of the predicament. But this time, he had to face this unknown starry sky alone.

Taking a deep breath, He Shaoyan said to himself silently: "This time... I have to rely on myself."

On the other side, Xiao Zhao’s trial.

Xiao Zhao stood in another starry sky, with countless twinkling stars in front of him. Each star was changing its position, as if forming some complex pattern. He soon realized that what was being tested here was his logic and reasoning ability.

"It feels like a huge puzzle game," Xiao Zhao frowned, "but there are no clues or rules. It's a really tricky problem."

He stood there and thought for a while, and finally decided to try to follow the trajectory of the stars. He tried to find the law in the movement of the stars. Soon, he gradually figured out the order of the stars and found an invisible passage that he could pass through.

"Fortunately, I'm a puzzle expert." Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

Finally, Lily's decision.

Unlike the trials of the team members, the test Lily faced was more direct. She stood in a narrow path of light, and the starry sky in front of her gradually became thicker, as if a storm was about to fall.

“Lily, only your wisdom and determination can lead you out of this sea of ​​stars.” The Guardian’s voice echoed in the air again, “You will face a choice about the fate of your team.”

Lily stood in the middle of the light path, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. At this moment, she had to make a decision, not only for herself, but also for the whole team.

Just as she hesitated, a blurry image suddenly appeared at the end of the light path. It was... her teammates, who seemed to be trapped in different spaces, isolated and helpless.

"Should I save them or keep moving forward?" Lily was instantly in an internal struggle.

"You must make a choice." The Guardian's voice carried an irresistible majesty.

Lily tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, frowning slightly. She knew that abandoning teammates was not her style, but time was running out, and if she didn't make a decisive decision, everyone might be trapped in this starry sky.

Taking a deep breath, Lily finally made a decision: "We must unite and no one will be left behind."

She stepped forward, leaving a shining trail with her dagger. The light path was illuminated by her determination, as if responding to her courage and decisiveness. Her steps became more and more firm, and the light path gradually extended to her teammates.

A new test has arrived.

With Lily's decision, she and her teammates reunited. Although everyone experienced different tests, their tacit understanding and trust became deeper.

"It seems we have all passed our respective trials." Black Hawk said calmly, "Next is the Sky Gate."

Standing in front of the Sky Gate, Lily felt a powerful force surging out from behind the door. The Guardian's voice echoed again: "You have proven your qualifications, but the true power of the Star Key is far beyond your imagination."

Lily stepped forward fearlessly and pushed open the huge door. Behind the door was a bright starry hall, with a key shining with starlight suspended in the center. That was the "Star Key".

"Finally found it." Lily said softly.

However, just as she reached out to touch the key, a deep laugh suddenly sounded in the starry sky. "Do you think it's over once you get the key? This is just the beginning..."

In the darkness, a powerful figure gradually emerged. It was an enemy they had never seen before, the true leader of the Deep Shadow Alliance.
