God and Demon Killing Platform: I can summon the gods of China

"Here I come." The gray-bearded old man finally spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from an ancient tomb.

His eyes were still fixed on the dark vortex, as if he could see through the endless darkness.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old man's next instructions.

The atmosphere was heavy, like a taut string that could break at any moment.

The aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with a burning smell.

Clinda walked to the injured white elf, took out her healing medicine, looked at the white elf gently and said: "You were so brave just now. This medicine can help you recover some strength." The white elf smiled gratefully, took the potion, and took a sip gently.

The potion exuded a light fragrance, flowing into her body, bringing a hint of warmth and dispelling some of the dark power that was corroding her body.

The black spots on her white robe seemed to have faded a little.

Zhang Cheng walked up to the old man and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by 'coming'?"

The old man did not answer, but stretched out his skinny finger and pointed at the center of the dark vortex. "Do you feel it?"

Zhang Cheng closed his eyes and concentrated.

A strong feeling of oppression came over him, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.

He felt his heart beating faster, his breathing quickened, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose.

"What is this?" Zhang Cheng opened his eyes, his face a little pale.

"Fear," the old man said slowly, "Fear from the deepest darkness."

The Star Knight clenched his weapon tightly, his eyes determined. "No matter what it is, we will face it!"

The Blue Star Guardian stood aside, nodding silently, emitting a firm protective force, like a steel wall, guarding the companions behind him.

The messenger of light casts soft light on everyone, dispelling their fear and bringing them hope.

The star spirit was suspended in the air, emitting a mysterious light, observing everything silently.

The Nebula Sage began to analyze the origins of the maze and the Dark Lord. He said, "I have seen similar dark powers in ancient books. This may be the evil power left over from the ancient wars. The maze may be part of the seal that seals it." Everyone listened attentively, as if they were brought into that ancient battlefield by the words of the Nebula Sage.

Suddenly, the dark vortex began to spin violently, and a huge black claw stretched out from it...

The Nebula Sage pushed his glasses up on his nose with a serious expression.

"In ancient times, the two forces of light and darkness fought a great war in this star field. The dark forces were led by a powerful being called the 'Dark Lord', who had the ability to devour all the light. In order to seal the Dark Lord, the light forces exhausted all their strength and eventually created this maze to imprison him forever."

"So, we are now in the maze that seals the Dark Lord?" Zhang Cheng frowned, feeling uneasy.

"That's right," the Nebula Sage nodded, "The maze itself contains a powerful sealing force, and those mechanisms and traps are set up to prevent the dark lord from escaping."

The interstellar knight sheathed his weapon, and the sword returned to its sheath with a crisp sound.

"In this case, we must not take it lightly. Although the power of the Dark Lord has been sealed, his minions still exist, and we must remain vigilant at all times." What he just practiced was not ordinary swordsmanship, but a restraining technique specifically for dark creatures. The sharp sword energy left a trail of afterimages in the air, showing amazing power.

Seeing this, the Light Messenger exclaimed: "The knight's strength has improved a lot. With him here, we are more confident."

Kelinda walked up to Zhang Cheng and whispered, "Zhang Cheng, do you feel that this maze seems to be guiding us somewhere?"

Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and nodded.

"I also felt it. It seems that there is an invisible force pulling us. Perhaps this is the guidance of the maze. It wants us to find a way to completely seal the Dark Lord."

At this time, the Guardian of Blue Star walked up to the Star Spirit and said in a firm tone: "We can no longer wait passively. We must take the initiative to find the Dark Lord's lair and completely destroy him!"

The Star Spirit shook his head, with a hint of warning in his indifferent voice: "Now is not the time. The power of the Dark Lord is far beyond our imagination. Rash actions will only put us in danger. We should first stabilize our defense and wait for the opportunity..."

The Blue Star Guardian's voice rose an octave, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "Are we just going to hide here and wait for the Dark Lord to regain his strength? Instead of sitting there and waiting for death, why not take the initiative to attack, find his lair, and destroy him completely!"

The star spirit remained calm, and his indifferent voice carried unquestionable majesty: "You are too impulsive. The power of the Dark Lord is far beyond what you and I can imagine. Rash actions will only lead to our deaths in vain. We must first stabilize our defense, understand the structure of the maze, and find a way to restrain the Dark Lord before making any plans."

"Solid defense? Understand the structure?" The Guardian of Blue Star sneered. "That's easy to say! How long have we been trapped here? We haven't even found the entrance to the maze, so how can we talk about solid defense? We are like a turtle in a jar, and can only be slaughtered!" He paced irritably, and his huge body made a dull sound on the ground, like a beast trapped in a cage.

The Star Spirit ignored his emotions and said calmly: "The mystery of the maze cannot be solved overnight. We need patience and wisdom. Recklessness will only make us pay a greater price."

The two argued until their faces turned red, and the atmosphere around them became tense.

The Star Knight walked up to the Blue Star Guardian, patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Old Blue, the Star Spirit is right, we can't be impulsive. Calm down and think of other ways." The Star Knight turned to the Star Spirit and said, "Star Spirit, I know you are resourceful, I believe you can lead us out of this predicament!" There was a flattering tone in his voice.

The Messenger of Light suddenly remembered her companions who were lost in the maze. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes and she lowered her head silently.

Zhang Cheng noticed her emotions, patted her shoulder gently, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, we will find them." The Messenger of Light looked at him gratefully, but said nothing, just sighed softly.

"Zhang Cheng, do you have any good ideas?" asked the interstellar knight, with a hint of expectation in his tone, but also a hint of distrust, as if he felt that Zhang Cheng could not come up with any good ideas.

Zhang Cheng did not answer. His mind flashed back to his previous experiences in other expeditions. Those calm responses to danger gave him some inspiration.

He began to look for possible clues around him: the patterns on the wall, the bumps on the ground, the faint scent in the air; any subtle difference would not escape his eyes.

The gray-bearded old man who had been silent finally took action. He slowly walked towards a wall of the maze and lightly touched the wall with his skinny fingers.

Some strange symbols suddenly appeared on the wall, flashing faint light.

No one understood the meaning of these symbols, and a new round of suspense enveloped everyone.

The gray-bearded old man turned around, scanned the crowd with his cloudy eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "The answer..."

Zhang Cheng’s thoughts went back to three years ago when he was trapped in an ancient underground mausoleum full of traps and dangers.

At that time, he also observed the surrounding environment calmly and finally found a way to survive.

Now, facing this strange maze, he believed that as long as he observed carefully, he would be able to find a breakthrough.

The patterns on the wall are not exactly the same; some places have deeper carvings, while others appear smooth; the bumps and depressions on the ground are not arranged randomly, but seem to follow some kind of pattern.

There was a faint metallic smell in the air, which was vague but lingering.

The gray-bearded old man's finger stopped on a special symbol on the wall. The symbol emitted a dazzling light, and the other symbols also lit up, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

These symbols looked like some ancient writing or some mysterious totems, leaving everyone confused.

"The answer..." The gray-bearded old man spoke again, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper was rubbing against his face. "It's in these symbols." He paused, and his cloudy eyes swept across the crowd, finally stopping at Zhang Cheng. "Young man, you are very calm and perceptive. What do you see?"

Zhang Cheng walked to the wall and carefully observed the glowing symbols.

He discovered that the symbols were not arranged randomly but in a certain order.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched one of the symbols. The light of the symbol became more dazzling. At the same time, several other symbols also flashed, as if echoing each other.

"This is a star map." The Nebula Sage suddenly spoke with a hint of surprise in his tone, "These symbols represent different galaxies, and the lines between them represent the connections between galaxies."

"Star map?" The Star Knight looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with us?"

The Nebula Sage did not answer. He walked to the wall and studied the star map carefully.

After a while, he looked up, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "I know! I know how to get out of this maze!"

Everyone was concentrating on watching the gray-bearded old man interpret the symbols on the wall, wanting to know what the Nebula Sage had discovered. Suddenly, a cold wind blew and a dark shadow flashed by...
