The Land of the Earth

A wise man stood up, his eyes revealing surprise and awe.

He looked at the crystal ball and said, "Is this... the legendary Ball of Hope? It is said that it will only appear when the continent is at its most dangerous. Its appearance means that we still have a glimmer of hope.

It is the last gift left to us by the gods, and perhaps it can guide us to find a way to save the mortal continent."

When everyone heard the wise man's words, hope rekindled in their eyes. They gathered at the edge of the barrier, staring intently at the crystal ball, as if they saw hope for survival.

The children stopped crying, and curiosity and anticipation flashed in their eyes; the men's hands gripping their weapons relaxed a little; and a relieved smile appeared on the women's faces.

However, the appearance of the Ball of Hope also attracted the attention of the demons. They stopped attacking the barrier and rushed towards the Ball of Hope instead.

There was greed and anger in their eyes, as if they wanted to destroy the thing that threatened them.

A new battle is about to begin outside the barrier, and the outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the Mortal Continent.

The people inside the barrier watched nervously, their hearts in their throats and sweat in their hands. They knew that this was their last hope. If the ball of hope was destroyed by the demons, then they would really be doomed.

Around the Ball of Hope, the demons launched a frenzied attack.

Some demons spewed out black flames, and the flames rushed towards the ball of hope like surging waves. The temperature of the flames was extremely high, and the air was distorted wherever they went, as if the space was about to be burned through.

Some demons cast powerful curses. They muttered to themselves, and the spells they recited were like strings of black runes, circling and dancing in the air, and then converging towards the Ball of Hope, trying to destroy the power of the Ball of Hope.

Some demons used their huge bodies to hit the Ball of Hope. Their huge bodies were like moving hills, carrying enormous impact force. Every impact made the earth tremble, and ripples appeared in the space around the Ball of Hope.

But there seemed to be an invisible protective shield around the Ball of Hope, which resisted the attacks of the demons. The light was still shining, and the light became even brighter under the attacks of the demons, as if it was demonstrating to them.

Tian Yuan watched this scene, an impulse surged in his heart, his blood boiling: "We can't let the Ball of Hope fight alone, we have to go out and help it."

After saying that, he picked up the Wind Demon Sword. The Wind Demon Sword emitted a faint light in his hand, as if it also felt the determination of its master.

He rushed towards the barrier's exit, his steps firm and powerful. Coach Wang quickly stopped him, firmly grasping his shoulders and saying, "Calm down! Going out now would be a death sentence."

We don't know the power of the Hope Ball yet, so we can't act rashly. We need to observe and then make a decision."

Tian Yuan looked at Coach Wang, his eyes filled with resentment: "Are we just going to stand by and watch? This is our only hope. If it's destroyed, we're truly finished."

His body trembled slightly, revealing his inner struggle.

Just when everyone was hesitating, the Ball of Hope suddenly emitted an even more powerful light.

The light shot towards the sky like a sharp sword. The intensity of the light was so astonishing that it directly tore a crack in the dark sky.

There seemed to be a mysterious power flowing slowly in the crack. That power was somewhat similar to the power of dreams, emitting a soft and warm breath.

People looked at this scene in surprise, their eyes full of expectation, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

Under the light, some demons began to roar in pain, their bodies gradually dissipating in the light, like snow in the sunlight.

Their shapes became blurred, black smoke drifted out from their bodies, and their screams were mixed in the smoke.

The Ball of Hope continued to exert its power and flew towards the barrier. When it approached the barrier, an entrance appeared on the barrier.

The ball of hope slowly flew into the barrier, its light enveloping everyone. They felt a warm power, like a mother's embrace, comforting their weary bodies and minds.

The children smiled innocently, and the adults breathed a sigh of relief, with hope glimmering in their eyes.

The wise man looked at the Orb of Hope and said, "This Orb of Hope is here to guide us. It must know how to restore the power of dreams. We must follow its guidance and find a way to save the Mortal Continent."

Everyone nodded, and they gathered around the Sphere of Hope, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation. After the Sphere of Hope stayed within the barrier for a while, it began to move in one direction.

It was not moving fast, as if waiting for people to catch up with it. Wherever it passed, it left a faint trace of light, as if guiding people on the way forward.

Tianyuan, Coach Wang and others looked at each other, and then led a group of brave people to follow the ball of hope.

They left the barrier and headed towards the unknown. Although the road ahead was still full of dangers, they had hope and a goal in their hearts, and were no longer as desperate as before.

They moved forward on the dark continent, carefully avoiding the attacks of demons and bypassing the cracks in the earth.

The light emitted by the Ball of Hope illuminates their way forward, preventing them from losing their way in this dark world.

The darkness around them seemed like an invisible monster, ready to devour them at any time, but they bravely moved forward under the protection of the light of hope.

As they moved forward, the surrounding environment seemed to change.

A faint hint of life appeared in the air that was originally filled with the smell of death. It was a fresh smell. Although it was very faint, it made people see hope.

Some tender green sprouts appeared on the land by the roadside. The sprouts grew tenaciously in the darkness, like a symbol of the indomitable spirit of life.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived in front of an ancient temple.

This temple is like a giant beast that has traveled from ancient times, standing quietly on this barren land, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.

The architectural style of the temple is ancient and unique, with huge stones piled on top of each other, and each stone is engraved with traces of time.

The mysterious patterns and runes on the stones seemed to tell stories from thousands of years ago. Some seemed to depict ancient sacrificial rituals, where people sang and danced around the radiant power of dreams.

Some seem to record a thrilling battle, in which brave warriors fight to the death with evil demons to protect the peace of this continent.

These patterns and runes flickered faintly under the light of the Ball of Hope, as if they were given new life.

The temple's gate is tall and heavy, made of an unknown black metal and inlaid with huge crystals. However, these crystals are now dull and covered with a thick layer of dust and dirt.

On both sides of the gate are two huge stone statues, depicting two majestic gods who were once the faith and protectors of the people of the Mortal Continent.

However, the stone statue is now scarred and cracks have appeared in some places, as if silently telling the cruelty of time and the horror of this disaster.
