God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The ruins guardian hesitated, seemingly reluctant to discuss the core area. "That... is a forbidden area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Forbidden area?" Chu Feng keenly caught the evasiveness in the other party's tone, "Why?"

The guardian was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "The core area contains enormous energy and is the source of the ruins' power. However, it is also fraught with danger and can even affect one's mind."

Chu Feng and Pan Yue exchanged glances, and both saw the same idea in each other's eyes: the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is to hide important secrets.

"We must go in." Chu Feng said firmly.

The guardian wanted to dissuade him, but seeing Chu Feng's determined eyes, he finally sighed and said, "Okay, but you must be careful. I will do my best to protect you, but I can't fully control the power in the core area."

The Guardian led Chu Feng, Pan Yue, Explorer Luo, and Researcher Tong deeper into the ruins. Scavenger Shen hid at the back of the group, feeling both fearful and curious, struggling internally over whether to continue following them.

As they went deeper, the air around them grew heavier, an invisible pressure enveloping them. Strange runes began to appear on the walls on both sides of the passage, flickering with a faint light.

"These runes..." Researcher Tong muttered to himself, his eyes full of curiosity. "It seems to be an ancient writing system. I have never seen it before..."

He reached out to touch the runes, but was held back by the guardian. "Don't touch them! These runes contain powerful powers. Touching them rashly could be dangerous."

Researcher Tong quickly retracted his hand, still feeling frightened.

After walking through a long corridor, they finally arrived at the entrance to the core area. It was a huge stone door with intricate carvings on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The guardian muttered something, and a beam of light shot out from his hand, striking a mechanism on the stone door. The stone door slowly opened, and a powerful wave of energy surged out, impacting everyone's bodies.

Chu Feng felt dizzy and the scene before him began to become blurry and distorted. He shook his head hard, trying to stay awake, but found that his memory began to become confused.

He seemed to see Pan Yue, but Pan Yue's eyes were full of hostility, and he held a dagger that was flashing with cold light in his hand.

"Pan Yue, you..." Chu Feng wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't speak.

Then, he saw Explorer Luo, who was arm in arm with a member of Mo's mysterious organization, plotting something.

"Explorer Luo, you actually..." Chu Feng's heart was filled with shock and anger.

He turned to look at Researcher Tong, but Researcher Tong had turned into the greedy look of Shen the Scavenger, with a crazy gleam in his eyes.

"What on earth is going on?" Chu Feng was filled with confusion and fear. He felt as if he were in a nightmare, and everything around him became strange and terrifying.

"Chu Feng...you...be careful..." A vague voice sounded in his ears. The voice seemed to be Pan Yue's, but with a hint of strangeness and vigilance.

Chu Feng turned around suddenly and saw Pan Yue looking at him warily, his weapon tightly gripped in his hand. Pan Yue's eyes were filled with suspicion and vigilance...

Chu Feng's mind buzzed, the scene before him distorting and shifting like a shattered mirror. Pan Yue's hostility, Explorer Luo's betrayal, Researcher Tong's greed... these images pierced his heart like sharp knives. But a voice inside him kept shouting: This can't be true!

He gritted his teeth, struggling to resist the encroaching influence of this mysterious force. Fragments of memory flashed through his mind: he recalled fighting alongside Pan Yue, Explorer Luo's help in times of crisis, and Researcher Tong's tireless research. These vivid memories, like warm rays of light, dispelled the fog in his heart.

"No! This isn't true!" Chu Feng suddenly roared, his eyes regaining clarity. He looked around and saw his companions looking at him with vigilance, their weapons flashing coldly.

"Pan Yue, do you believe me? Do you still remember the battles we experienced together? We have faced so many dangers together, and we have never given up on each other!" Chu Feng's voice was trembling, but full of strength.

Pan Yue's eyes flickered, and the dagger in his hand dropped slightly. He remembered how Chu Feng had stepped forward time and again in times of crisis, and remembered his unwavering gaze and his unyielding belief.

"I believe you, Chu Feng." Although Pan Yue's voice still contained a hint of hesitation, it was much firmer.

"Explorer Luo, do you still remember our original intention of exploring the ruins together? We are here to protect this world, not for personal gain!" Chu Feng turned to Explorer Luo with a sincere tone.

Explorer Luo was stunned for a moment, a flicker of struggle in his eyes. He remembered his previous oath and the responsibility he shouldered.

"I... of course I remember." Explorer Luo lowered his head and put down the weapon in his hand.

"Researcher Tong, do you still remember our common goal? We are here to uncover the secrets of the ruins, not to satisfy our own greed!" Chu Feng looked at Researcher Tong with a firm tone.

Researcher Tong's eyes gradually regained clarity. He remembered his thirst for knowledge and his pursuit of truth.

"I... I understand." Researcher Tong's voice was trembling, but full of regret.

Chu Feng looked at his reunited companions, feeling a surge of strength in his heart. He turned to look at the Guardian with a determined look in his eyes: "Take us to the core area. We must solve this mystery!"

The guardian nodded silently and led everyone forward. Deep in the core area, they found a hidden altar, which was engraved with strange runes and exuded an evil aura.

"This is..." Researcher Tong exclaimed, his face turning pale.

"This is the gateway to the evil world!" Explorer Luo said in a serious tone.

They finally understood the conspiracy of the members of Mo (a certain) mysterious organization. They wanted to use the power of the ruins to open the door to the evil world and plunge this world into darkness.

"We must stop them!" Chu Feng clenched his fists, with fire burning in his eyes.

Suddenly, the runes on the altar began to flicker, and a powerful evil force surged out, shrouding the entire core area in darkness.

"They are coming..." The guardian said in a low voice, his eyes full of worry.

A cold voice came from the darkness: "Do you think you can stop me? I have obtained the power of the ruins. This world will submit to me!"

The figure of Mo (a certain) mysterious organization member slowly emerged from the darkness, his eyes full of madness and greed.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue exchanged a glance, both understanding that a fierce battle was about to begin... "Prepare for battle!" Chu Feng growled, and a dazzling light condensed in his hand. In the darkness, members of the mysterious Mo organization let out shrill laughter. The runes on the altar glowed brightly, and puffs of black smoke billowed out, condensing into various monsters that emitted terrifying roars.

"Just like you ants, you think you can stop me?" The voice of the member of Mo's mysterious organization was full of disdain.

"Ants? Try it and you'll find out!" Chu Feng roared, the light in his hand transforming into a sharp sword. He charged at the nearest monster. With a swipe of the sword, a sharp wind blew, slicing the monster in half. Black smoke dispersed, then quickly condensed, and the monster reappeared, seemingly endless.

Pan Yue calmly observed the battlefield, quickly analyzing the enemy's weaknesses. "Chu Feng, their weakness is in the head. Attack the head!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately changed his tactics, aiming his sword straight at the monsters' heads, killing them one by one, greatly increasing his efficiency. Pan Yue, in the rear, used the talisman in his hand to control some of the more powerful monsters, creating opportunities for Chu Feng.

The guardian of the ruins also joined the battle. Its huge body was like a solid wall, resisting the monsters' attacks. At the same time, it swung its huge stone fists, smashing the monsters into pieces one by one.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the entire core area was filled with deafening noises. Although Chu Feng and his companions had the upper hand, the enemy was numerous, and new monsters continued to emerge from the altar, making them feel more and more stressed.

While dodging the monsters' attacks, Researcher Tong carefully observed the runes on the altar. He discovered that these runes were not simply symbols of evil, but an ancient language imbued with profound knowledge and powerful energy. He felt a sense of awe for the ruins, and this reverence was passed on to the others. They realized that what they were protecting was not just a relic, but the legacy of an entire civilization.

"These runes... they seem to be telling something..." Researcher Tong muttered to himself.

At this moment, the rune light on the altar grew stronger again, and a huge black vortex appeared above the altar, emanating a suffocating evil aura.

"Oh no! He is going to open the door to the evil world!" Explorer Luo exclaimed.

Chu Feng and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They knew that if the members of Mo's mysterious organization succeeded, the world would be plunged into an abyss of no return. They had to stop him!

Chu Feng gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "Pan Yue, cover me!"

Pan Yue nodded, and the talismans in his hands flew, forming a series of barriers to block the monster's attack. Chu Feng seized this opportunity and leaped towards the members of the mysterious organization on the altar.

"You are overestimating yourself!" Mo, a member of the mysterious organization, sneered, and a black energy ball condensed in his hand and smashed towards Chu Feng.

Chu Feng blocked with his sword, and the energy ball exploded, the powerful impact knocking him back several steps. But he did not give up and rushed towards the members of Mo's mysterious organization again.

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue shouted.

Chu Feng ignored it. All he had eyes for were members of Mo's mysterious organization. He had only one belief in his heart: stop him!

Just as Chu Feng was about to approach the members of Mo's mysterious organization, the black vortex on the altar suddenly expanded, and a powerful suction force sucked Chu Feng in...

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue shouted in horror, reaching out to grab Chu Feng, but missed.

"Hmph, you overestimated brat, let me send you to the evil world to experience the taste of despair!" said a member of Mo's mysterious organization with a sneer.

Pan Yue watched Chu Feng disappear into the black vortex, his heart filled with worry and anger. He turned to look at the guardian of the ruins, "We must find a way to save him!"

The guardian of the ruins remained silent, his huge stone face expressionless. He simply slowly raised his stone fist...
