The End of the World: Chaos

"I'll go again!" Yang Yi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was firm.

Ruth frowned slightly, tapping the tabletop with her slender fingertips, as if she was thinking about something. "Yang Yi, you always like to act alone. You must be careful this time. You know how unpredictable the power of the Soul Gem is."

Yang Yi smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes. "Ruth, I understand your worries. But this time the situation is different. I have gained new strength, which brings me closer to my goal. No matter what, we can't stop moving forward, we must seek a breakthrough."

Xika sat quietly beside him, looking worried, and said slowly: "However, Yang Yi, even if you can succeed, if there is any accident..."

"I will be careful!" Yang Yi interrupted him, his eyes were sharp and his tone was firm, "I will definitely get what I need back in the shortest possible time and will never let you worry."

Ruth sighed and looked at Yang Yi. His resolute expression made her feel uneasy. "Well, I just hope you can be careful and protect yourself. The power of the Soul Gem is great, but it is unpredictable. We never know what will happen."

"I know your concerns, but I also have my bottom line. As long as I can control the power of the Soul Gem, I will not let anyone get hurt." Yang Yi's tone was full of determination and confidence.

"When will you come back?" Xika asked in a low voice, his concern clearly revealed.

"I will do it as soon as possible. If not, I will do it in one day at most. If I haven't returned yet, you should leave quickly and don't take risks for me." Yang Yi responded seriously.

Ruth nodded in agreement. "Okay, we'll wait for you. But you need to make sure that if the situation changes, you must retreat quickly!"

Yang Yi smiled slightly, with a glimmer of courage in his eyes. At this moment, he knew that he must not let his two companions worry about him again, and secretly mustered up his courage. "I will obey you, I promise."

"Then go ahead." Ruth patted his shoulder vigorously, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "We will wait for your return here."

Yang Yi turned and walked out, his mind recollecting the moments he had spent with the two men. He knew that the deep trust and friendship between the three of them had long been unbreakable. He clenched his fists and silently made up his mind that even if he was in trouble, he would never lose his way.

Walking out of the hall, the sunlight shone on him, as if injecting courage into him. Yang Yi could not help but quicken his pace and headed straight for the destination. The power of the soul gem surged like a tide, and he could feel that energy gradually merging with himself.

At this moment, a strange wave suddenly came from his heart, as if the call of the soul was leading him. Yang Yi closed his eyes and slowly sensed the direction of the power, his heart full of anticipation and tension for the challenge he was about to face.

"Soul Gem! Here I come!" he chanted in his heart without stopping.

Soon after, Yang Yi arrived at a hidden valley, where a faint light flickered in the depths. Suddenly, he felt a strong attraction, as if the soul gem was calling him. Yang Yi took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the light, with a mixture of expectation and nervousness in his heart.

As he got closer to the light source, Yang Yi suddenly stopped. He widened his eyes in astonishment - in the golden light, the Soul Gem lay quietly in the center, surrounded by countless beautiful and strange planets, like a dreamlike scene.

His heart was shaken, and he slowly walked forward, his eyes fixed on the gem. Just as he was about to touch it, the space around him suddenly twisted, and a mighty force instantly surrounded him.

"I must control it!" Yang Yi was secretly alert in his heart. He tried his best to use the power of the soul gem to stabilize his body in this powerful energy.

"Otherwise, I will be devoured!" He was alert in his heart. At this moment, Yang Yi realized that the power of the soul gem was like a double-edged sword, which not only brought infinite power, but also more challenges and dangers.

"Here I come!" Yang Yi shouted, raising his hands high, trying to guide the power of the soul gem to himself. Then, there was a loud bang, and the whole space trembled violently, with golden light flickering, like the rhythm of stars.

He felt a burning force sweeping towards him, so he closed his eyes, emptied himself, and tried to communicate with this force. His heart seemed to be torn apart, yet it was tightly wrapped by an invisible force.

"Is this a test?" he thought to himself, and then fixed his eyes on the Soul Gem with a firm will. The Soul Gem's light became brighter and brighter, as if it was trying to break free, but Yang Yi would never give up.

"I will not be your puppet!" He roared in his heart, trying his best to tame this energy. The struggle from his soul entangled his thoughts and emotions every moment, drawing him deeply into despair.

Just when he was about to give up, the figures of Ruth and Sika emerged in his mind. Their persistence and support, like the flame of faith, rekindled Yang Yi's fighting spirit.

"I can't lose!" Yang Yi roared in his heart and suddenly opened his eyes. A green light surged out from the gem.

"Soul Gem, obey my call!" Yang Yi shouted loudly, and pushed forward with both hands. The golden light and the blue halo intertwined in the air, forming a dazzling pattern, which rotated brilliantly like a dance of stars.

"Is this a method of exchanging souls for souls?" Yang Yi whispered to himself. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to tame the Soul Gem, he would have to pay a corresponding price.

Instantly, countless memories and emotions came flooding back, and Yang Yi seemed to see every bit of his past experiences, whether it was the joy of success or the tears of failure, interwoven into one picture after another. He understood that all of this was a test of the soul, and also proof of the deep bond between him and the Soul Gem.

"I will definitely control you and will never be imprisoned by you again!" Yang Yi's voice was as loud as thunder, shaking the entire space.

At this moment, his soul and the power of the Soul Gem merged with each other, as if they had become one. An indescribable power surged into his body.

"This is the contract between me and the Soul Gem!" He swore silently in his heart, feeling the new power growing vigorously in his body. Yang Yi was sure that from this moment on, his fate would change greatly.

"With this power, I will go back to protect my friends and never let them come to any harm!" He swore loudly, as if challenging the heaven and earth.

Invisible light spread as he declared, golden light and blue halo intertwined in the air, like a resonance of fate.
