I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"They really did it!" An old lady smiled with relief, tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Yan turned to look at his teammates, his eyes full of determination: "We haven't completed all the tasks yet, and there is still a long way to go. Are you ready for new challenges?"

"I've been ready for a long time!" Leon patted his chest, full of confidence.

"We will not be afraid of any difficulties!" Genos said firmly.

"Let's go together and move towards the light." Lina smiled, her eyes full of expectations for the future.

The light at the top of the tower completely dissipated, and the surrounding mirrors gradually disappeared, returning to their original appearance. However, they knew that this was just a new starting point...

"We still have a lot to do," Zhao Yan said, looking into the distance, his eyes burning with fire, "but as long as we unite as one, nothing is invincible."

"Yes, let's embark on a new journey!" Lina nodded in agreement, and the group embarked on a new journey under the sunlight atop the tower. Just as Zhao Yan and his teammates were about to leave the ancient tower, a low, long bell suddenly rang from within, as if foreshadowing some kind of change. Everyone stopped and looked around warily, only to see the space within the tower become hazy again, and a mysterious aura quietly spread.

"What's going on again?" Genos asked in a low voice, his eyes alert.

Leon looked around, "We are not out of danger yet. It seems that this is not over yet."

Lina gripped her magic wand tightly and listened attentively. "Yeah, the sound of the bell feels a bit strange."

Suddenly, space began to warp, and an ancient archway slowly appeared before them. It emanated a faint blue light, and through it, they could see a whole new world—a view unlike any they had ever seen before: a starry night sky, and in the distance, a magnificent ancient city. An unknown flag fluttered from the castle, and its walls were formidable and imposing.

"Where is this? A new adventure?" Zhao Yan asked puzzledly.

At this moment, a soft and charming voice sounded in the air: "Brave warriors, congratulations on passing the test of your inner self. Now, the real challenge begins."

The man in the robe did not seem to leave. He left these instructions in the air and then disappeared without a sound.

When the villagers saw a strange scene suddenly appear on the top of the tower, they immediately started talking about it.

"What's going on with that door?!" a little girl asked curiously with wide eyes.

"I don't know... Maybe they are going to experience something even more magical!" Her mother replied, gently touching her head, her tone filled with both worry and anticipation.

"I hope they can bring us another miracle," the village blacksmith looked at the towering tower in the distance, his eyes full of admiration and respect.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yan had already made his decision. "No matter what, we must bravely face what comes next. Come on, friends, let's go through this door together!"

"That's right!" Leon waved his arms. "Since I've chosen this path, I won't retreat even a single step!"

Genos nodded firmly, "Stay strong for everyone who believes we can successfully change the future!"

The group stepped into the light and instantly arrived at a new place. The night sky here was exceptionally clear and bright, the air was as fresh as water, and the air was filled with the fragrance of exotic flowers.

At this moment, an ordinary-looking but in fact extraordinary old man appeared before them. "Welcome to the 'City of Dreams'. My name is Aura, and I am one of the guardians here. Only those with the purest hearts and the strongest courage are worthy to set foot here."

Behind the old man, several villagers were gazing in awe at the sudden appearance of these young men. One of them even whispered in amazement, "Oh my god, these people are from the legendary trial grounds, right? They can actually reach the place we long for directly... How amazing!"

Another villager added, "And looking at them, it seems like they're going to do bigger things. I really envy their lives... I wish I had the chance to see the wonderful world outside."

Hearing these words, Zhao Yan turned around and said to everyone with a smile, "Actually, everyone can create their own legend. As long as you have faith in your heart, you can shine anytime, anywhere!"

Old Man Aura nodded slightly in agreement. "Very good, young man. Now, please tell me, why have you come? What do you hope to find here?"

Lina thought for a moment and then answered, "We hope to find more power to defeat all threats to peace. Of course, we also want to know the story behind this beautiful place and what we can learn."

After hearing her words, Aura smiled approvingly. "That's a good idea. There are indeed many difficulties to be overcome ahead. But please remember, in addition to external help, inner strength is the most important support. So, let's set off! On this road to the 'Fountain of Wisdom', you will find what you need."

As he spoke, a path made of countless colorful crystals appeared before everyone's eyes, gradually extending into the darkness in the distance...

As the group drifted further away, the villager who had sighed remained standing, watching the group's backs until they disappeared. "Oh, I have to work hard too," he muttered to himself, then turned and ran towards the village.

Meanwhile, in a secluded palace somewhere far above the surface, several men in black were discussing the implications of what had just happened. Their leader said coldly, "It seems a new force has emerged to interfere with our cause... We cannot allow this situation to continue. Spread the word, have all forces brace themselves for the coming storm!"

Thus, as the hero embarks on a new journey, the battle surrounding him also begins...

Zhao Yan and the others were walking along the Crystal Path, enjoying the fantastical and beautiful scenery along the way. "This place is truly extraordinary!" Genos couldn't help but exclaim.

"But we can't let our guard down," Leon reminded everyone, "After all, there are many secrets hidden here that we don't know about."

Zhao Yan turned around and said to his companions, "No matter what, since we've chosen to move forward, we must keep a clear head. And don't forget our goal—to become people who can truly protect the peace of this world."

"Well said!" Lina agreed. "No matter what challenge we face, we won't give up easily. Because we are - partners!"
