Rise of the Otherworld.

Just when everyone was at their wit's end, a little girl stepped forward. Her eyes were determined, as if she had made a firm decision. Her tiny body seemed to hold boundless courage and strength.

"Let me try." The little girl's voice, though childish, was filled with undeniable determination. Her eyes were clear and bright, staring directly at the core that flickered with unstable light.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Zhang Hao said worriedly, "It's too dangerous, little sister." His brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of concern and worry for the little girl.

The little girl shook her head and said, "I can feel it, maybe I can." Her voice was soft but full of confidence, as if there was an invisible force supporting her.

After saying this, she walked towards the core step by step, each step was extremely firm. Her petite figure seemed so fragile in the powerful fluctuations of power, but her steps were not hesitant at all.

As she approached the core, the powerful wave of power caused her hair and clothes to fly, as if it was about to swallow her whole. But she did not retreat, instead she moved closer to the core.

The little girl closed her eyes, trying to feel her core emotions with her heart, while she softly muttered some incomprehensible words. Those words flowed slowly through the air like a gentle breeze or a mysterious spell.

Gradually, the core's light seemed less glaring, and the intensity of the current weakened. The raging energy began to calm, as if soothed by the little girl's words.

Everyone watched this nervously, not daring to breathe. Their eyes were fixed on the little girl and the core, their hearts filled with anticipation and prayer.

The woman couldn't help but whisper, "Could it really work?" There was a hint of surprise and disbelief in her voice, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

The old man held his staff tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger. His eyes were fixed on the little girl, with both worry for her and hope for her.

Beads of sweat formed on the little girl's forehead, and her face turned pale, but she continued to communicate with the core. Her lips trembled slightly, but she never stopped her mysterious muttering.

Suddenly, a burst of intense light erupted from the core, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats. The light instantly illuminated the entire space, making it impossible to look directly at it.

"Not good!" Zhang Hao exclaimed and instinctively wanted to rush forward to protect the little girl.

But then, the light began to slowly recede, and the power in the core gradually stabilized. The violent energy fluctuations disappeared, replaced by a peaceful and warm aura.

"Success!" the herbalist shouted excitedly. His face was filled with joy and excitement, and his voice was trembling with excitement.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes, a tired but relieved smile on her face. Her eyes were a little blurry and her body was shaky.

Everyone quickly gathered around, and Zhang Hao held the little girl, "Little sister, you are awesome!"

The woman also smiled gently, "Thanks to you."

However, before everyone could fully relax, the surrounding space began to shift again. Strange runes and patterns began to appear around the previously stable core, and mysterious rays of light appeared on the walls.

"What is this?" asked the herbalist in horror.

The old man observed these changes carefully, his expression becoming serious. "I'm afraid there are still unknown tests waiting for us."

Everyone's heart was lifted again, and the tension that had just been relieved once again took over their hearts...
