Rise of the Otherworld.

Everyone was flung back by the powerful wave from the core explosion, falling heavily to the ground. Zhang Hao felt as if his bones were falling apart, the pain unbearable. His clothes were already tattered, and his body was covered with scrapes and bruises of all sizes. "What the hell is going on?" He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.

The woman clutched her chest, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Her once beautiful face now looked utterly haggard. "The power of the core seems beyond our control." Her voice was weak and trembling, as if she exhausted all her strength with each word.

The old man's face was as pale as paper, and his body was trembling slightly. "Maybe we just used its power to forcibly seal the crack, which caused it to become unbalanced." As he spoke, he gasped for breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing.

The herbalist lay on the ground groaning, "Oh, what should we do? Are we all going to die here?" His face was full of pain and despair, and his eyes revealed fear of an unknown fate.

The little girl stared at the flickering core, her eyes filled with worry. Her tiny frame seemed insignificant before this overwhelming force, but her gaze was remarkably determined. "We have to find a way to stabilize it." Her voice was clear and resonant, bringing a glimmer of hope to the despairing atmosphere.

The man in black robes looked a bit disheveled. His robes were torn in several places, and his hair was a mess. But his eyes remained calm. "Let's observe first and see if we can find any patterns." His voice was deep and magnetic, instilling a sense of trust in the panic.

As they spoke, the core's light grew stronger, and the surrounding space began to distort. The light was like countless sharp swords, piercing everyone's eyes. The distortion of space made them feel dizzy, as if the whole world was turning upside down.

"Oh no! This place will collapse if this continues!" Zhang Hao exclaimed. His voice was particularly sharp in the chaotic environment, filled with fear of the impending disaster.

The woman, repressing the pain, attempted to cast a spell to soothe the power within her core, but the moment her spell reached her, it bounced back. The rebounding force was like a massive wave, knocking her to the ground once more. "Puff!" She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning even paler.

The old man said anxiously: "We can't force it, we must find the root cause." His eyes scanned back and forth eagerly between the core and the crowd, his brain working rapidly, thinking of ways to solve the problem.

Everyone racked their brains to think of a solution. Everyone's face was filled with tension and anxiety, and beads of sweat kept rolling down their foreheads.

The little girl suddenly said, "I feel like it's angry." Although her voice was childish, it attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang Hao asked in confusion: "Angry? Could it be that our actions have angered it?" His brows were furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

The man in black robe pondered for a moment: "Perhaps we are using its power in the wrong way." His eyes were deep, as if he was trying to see the essence through the phenomenon.

At this moment, electric currents appeared around the core, crackling and making terrifying sounds. Those currents were like giant blue pythons, dancing freely in the air, threatening to pounce on everyone at any time.

The herbalist was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly: "What should I do? I don't want to be electrocuted into charcoal." His voice was tearful, his legs were weak, and he could hardly stand.

The woman took a deep breath: "Everyone calm down, we'll think of a solution together." She tried to keep her voice calm, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her inner fear.

After some tense discussion, they decided to try to communicate with the core in a gentle way to calm its anger.

Zhang Hao slowly approached the core, stretched out his hands, and silently said in his heart: "Please calm down, we have no ill intentions." His expression was extremely pious, and his eyes were full of pleading.

However, the core's reaction was even more intense, and a powerful force directly knocked Zhang Hao away. His body hit the wall heavily like a kite with a broken string, and then slid down.

"It seems that this won't work." The old man frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the little girl stood up. Her eyes were firm, as if she had made some kind of resolution...
