Nirvana Phoenix Song

Feng Tangyue held the star core tightly and approached the runes on the stone tablet. The faint light spread along the veins of the runes and gradually gathered into an ancient energy flow. She felt that a secret message was being transmitted to her consciousness through the star core, as if revealing a piece of dusty history.

"The cycle of origin, the interweaving of darkness and light... This is a record of the ancient seal." Feng Tangyue whispered, gradually sorting out the clues in the runes.

At this moment, a strange energy wave suddenly surged from the depths of the stone tablet, and a blurry image appeared along with it. The image showed the outline of a black-robed figure, with his face hidden in the shadows and his eyes flashing with a dark light.

“You finally found this place.” The black-robed figure’s voice was cold and low, as if it came from the depths of the abyss. “But what you have touched is only the tip of the iceberg.”

"Who are you? What do these runes record?" Feng Tangyue stared at the black-robed figure, and the star core in his hand emitted a faint blue light, as if responding to the other party vigilantly.

"I am one of the messengers of darkness. Our mission is to protect this ancient power." The black-robed figure said slowly, "The power of origin you know is only a part of the more profound existence in the universe. It comes from an ancient seal, and this seal once tried to suppress a more powerful darkness."

"A more powerful darkness?" Feng Tangyue's eyes narrowed, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

"That's right. The power of origin and the power of darkness are of the same origin. They were once one in ancient times, but were forcibly separated in order to balance the laws of the universe. Those ancient civilizations created a seal to prevent the power of darkness from devouring the light." The black-robed figure slowly approached Feng Tangyue, "And now, the seal is gradually loosening, and the real crisis is approaching."

"The seal is loosened...so that's why you dark messengers show up?" Feng Tangyue asked coldly, holding the star core vigilantly.

The black-robed figure sneered, "We have reappeared to deal with the impending chaos. Only by finding the key to the seal and rebalancing light and darkness can we prevent the universe from collapsing again."

"Why don't you stop the seal from loosening, instead of causing chaos everywhere?" Feng Tangyue asked, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Because balance comes at a price, the rebirth of power is bound to be accompanied by destruction." The black-robed figure's voice was low and cold. "We are just letting those unnecessary weaknesses disappear and welcoming a new order."

The anger in Feng Tangyue's eyes gradually burned, and she saw through the dark messenger's true intentions: "You don't care about the cost of sacrifice at all, you are just creating new power for yourself."

"You can understand it this way, but you can also choose to cooperate with us, find the core of the seal, and completely control the power of origin." The black-robed figure's voice was full of temptation, "Otherwise, you will only become a lost person in the endless darkness."

"I will not choose darkness." Feng Tangyue's eyes were firm, and the light of the star core suddenly increased. "No matter how dangerous the power behind the seal is, I will personally prevent it from collapsing, rather than joining forces with you."

The black-robed figure was silent for a moment, then sneered: "Then wait to be swallowed by the darkness." As he said this, his image gradually dissipated in the air, and the energy fluctuations in the ruins also calmed down.

After the conversation with the black-robed figure, Feng Tangyue quickly informed Ling Xiao, Mo Chenzhao and Ye Cang of the situation. The four of them had an urgent discussion through the communication.

"It seems that these dark messengers are not here just for the power of origin." Ling Xiao said, his eyes showing deep thought, "The ancient seal and dark power they mentioned may be something we were completely unaware of before."

"If the seal really starts to loosen, we must find its core as soon as possible and try to reinforce it again." Ye Cang said coldly, his wings shaking slightly, "Otherwise, we will face a crisis more serious than the loss of control of the power of origin."

"According to the clues I got from the ruins, there may be more than one seal core." Feng Tangyue said. She unfolded the star map and marked several areas where the seal core may exist. "These places are all areas with abnormal energy fluctuations. We must go to investigate them separately."

"Then we will split up." Mo Chenzhao nodded in agreement, "Find out the situation of the seal as soon as possible, and then formulate a response plan."

The next action will involve more exploration and investigation. Feng Tangyue decided to take the lead in going to an ancient star field in the center of the Milky Way - "Star Tomb", which is said to be the place where ancient civilizations store relics and power seals.

When Feng Tangyue arrived at the Star Tomb, she saw a ruin floating in the void. These huge fragments seemed to be great buildings in the past, but now they were eroded by time and were in pieces. In the center of the Star Tomb, a vague energy barrier was suspended, and an ancient altar could be vaguely seen inside the barrier. The altar was engraved with runes related to the seal.

"It seems that there are indeed clues related to the seal here." Feng Tangyue said in a low voice, the star core flickering slightly in her hand, as if guiding her forward.

However, just as she was about to approach the altar, countless dark shadows suddenly emerged from all around her, and the messenger of darkness appeared again, trying to stop her from approaching the core of the seal.

"It seems they are well prepared." Feng Tangyue sneered, and the light of the star core suddenly burst out, and she was ready to face this battle.
