The End of the World: Chaos

"I can't believe these three items exist." Li Bo pushed the door open and looked at the neatly arranged mysterious items. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "They are truly amazing things in the world!"

"Indeed," Yang Yi nodded slowly, staring at the three strange objects calmly, his heart filled with excitement, "Each of them contains great power. Picking any one of them can have a subversive impact on the entire world."

"What are you going to do with such a precious thing?" Li Bo looked serious. He knew that Yang Yi was always full of imagination, but he also understood the risks of exploring the unknown, which made him worried.

"I think these three items may help me open up a new direction for magic research." Yang Yi smiled, with a glimmer of determination in his expression. "Since my experience in Phoenix, my thinking seems to have opened a new window. I have discovered a new method that can replace the traditional magic cost."

"What do you mean by the price you mentioned?" Li Bo frowned slightly, and his concern gradually became apparent as he asked.

"My research was interrupted in the past due to the huge cost, but now I have glimpsed a new direction." Yang Yi's voice was full of excitement, as if he had found a long-lost treasure. "I can reorganize the elements in these items and innovate the foundation of magic, making it more stable and controllable."

Li Bo was silent for a moment, then said: "If this can really come true, it is indeed a rare opportunity. However, the nature of magic has always been unpredictable. Remember, don't put yourself in danger."

"I will be careful." Yang Yi nodded slightly, with a confident smile on his face. "As long as we prepare carefully, we will be able to achieve success."

After saying this, he slid his fingers gently across the card and began to perform a series of complex magic calculations. As his gestures changed, a strange hourglass shape slowly formed in the air, as if time was slowly flowing under his control.

"Look! This is a magic card I designed anew!" Yang Yi turned around excitedly, his eyes twinkling like stars. "It is inspired by the phoenix and can effectively reduce energy consumption when casting spells."

Li Bo tried to remain calm, but he could not hide his amazement. "This is incredible... So how do you plan to test this magic?"

"I want to conduct tests within a safe range." Yang Yi whispered, "The first attempt will be to cast a simple magic to observe its reaction and ensure that everything is stable."

"I'll help you!" Li Bo volunteered. "Although I'm not as good as you, I'm still willing to lend a helping hand. Let's see the effect together."

Yang Yi nodded with satisfaction, a surge of strength in his heart. He always felt warm when a friend helped him. Then, he arranged the preparations for the experiment meticulously, placed the magic cards in the middle of the table, cleared his throat, and said with bright eyes, "Now, start testing this magic!"

When Yang Yi chanted the spell in a low voice, the hourglass shape flickered faintly on the card. He felt that the power was slowly condensing, and the air around him seemed to become more and more solemn.

"Yang Yi, please stay focused!" Li Bo stood by, sweat oozing out of his palms, just like the cold rain in early winter.

"I know!" Yang Yi's voice was like a bell. He tried hard to clear his thoughts and accumulate stronger energy for casting spells.

Suddenly, an unexpected sound like thunder interrupted his concentration. An item on the bookshelf fell, suddenly attracting his attention and instantly distracting his mind.

"Oh no!" Yang Yi exclaimed, realizing that he had lost all the strength in his hands. Following that, a sudden sense of crisis surged into his heart like a tide.

"Quick! Control it!" Li Bo shouted, his voice like a bell, hitting the eardrums.

"I... I know!" Panic surged in Yang Yi's heart, and he tried hard to calm himself down. He was no longer an eloquent magician, but an ordinary person who was fighting against the magic he created.

The strange shape of the hourglass began to distort, and a strange fluctuation gradually grew in the surrounding air, as if some ominous omen was quietly approaching.

Seeing this, Li Bo stepped forward bravely, trying to stabilize the surrounding environment at this critical moment: "Let me try!" He condensed a thin magic barrier with his palms, trying to slow down the trend of losing control.

"Useless! Get out of here!" Yang Yi's voice was hurried and trembling.

"I will never back down, my friend. I am willing to overcome this difficulty with you!" Li Bo said in a firm tone. Despite facing the fear of the unknown, he remained indomitable.

Yang Yi felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Li Bo! But I have to control this situation myself."

He gritted his teeth, concentrated his energy again, and tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart. Thinking back to the solution he had found, Yang Yi took a deep breath, his eyes as firm as iron, "

Finally, his voice shook the four directions like thunder. With his firm belief and will, the distorted hourglass shape gradually stabilized and the surrounding air flow slowly returned to calm.

"Success!" Li Bo cheered, with a long-lost joy on his face.

"But it's not over yet," Yang Yi whispered, looking relieved as he stared at the cards that had regained stability.

"Be careful next time," Li Bo said, sweating slightly on his forehead, "This is no joke."

"I will remember it," Yang Yi replied with a smile, his eyes flashing with desire for magic.
