Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 216 The Desire of the Heart

"Mysterious organization?" Gao Xingchen muttered to himself, his eyebrows full of doubts. He never thought that he, an unknown boy from a remote planet, would be related to a mysterious organization. The head of the Gao family looked solemn and nodded slowly: "Yes, this organization acts secretly and has a huge influence. Even I only know a little bit about it."

At the same time, Nan Li was also in the study of the head of the Nan family, flipping through ancient scrolls. These scrolls recorded hundreds of years of history of the Nan family, and the words between the lines revealed a sense of vicissitudes and mystery. Nan Li carefully flipped through the pages, trying to find clues about the disappearance of his parents from these old texts.

"Li'er, come here." The Nan family leader suddenly spoke, pointing to a passage on the scroll and said, "Look here, it says that hundreds of years ago, an organization called 'Shadow' appeared. They attempted to subvert the order of the star field, but were eventually sealed by the major families."

"Shadow?" Nan Li's heart trembled. She had seen this name on a stone tablet in the family's secret room. She was young at that time and only felt that the name was full of ominousness, but did not understand its meaning.

"Yes, it is 'Shadow'." A hint of sharpness flashed in the eyes of the Nan family leader. "I suspect that this mysterious organization is very likely the remnant of 'Shadow'. They have been dormant for many years and now they have reappeared. I am afraid they want to make a comeback."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li got clues from their respective families. The two seemingly parallel lines intersected at this moment. They realized that their fates had long been tied together, and the key to unlocking all this lies in the mysterious organization - "Shadow".

In order to find out the truth, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to join forces. They knew the power of "Shadow" and dared not slack off. They traveled to every corner of the star field, looking for any clues related to "Shadow".

Finally, in an ancient ruin, they found a torn ancient book. The cover of the ancient book was already rotten, and the words "Book of Prophecy" could be vaguely seen. When they opened the ancient book, the text inside was obscure and difficult to understand, as if it was written in a lost language.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li worked hard and finally deciphered part of the content. The book records that the star field will usher in a catastrophe, and a "child of destiny" with special abilities will lead everyone to defeat the darkness and usher in light.

"Child of Destiny?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, their hearts agitated. Could it be that the "child of destiny" in the prophecy refers to one of them? Or is it someone else?

This discovery undoubtedly adds a layer of mystery to the already confusing mystery of their origins. They are eager to know what all this means, and the truth hidden in the fog is waiting for them to uncover.

The content of the "Book of Prophecy" is like a fire, igniting the spark of hope in Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's hearts, and also making them confused about their future destiny. They are eager to find answers and solve the mystery between "shadow", prophecy and their own destiny.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," Nan Li put away the ancient book, with a hint of determination in his cold voice, "We must find more information about 'Shadow' and 'Child of Destiny'."

Gao Xingchen agreed with this. He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Let's go look for it together. We will definitely find some clues."

They traveled to every corner of the star field, looking for hidden masters and reading vast books. Finally, their efforts were rewarded. On the edge of a desolate galaxy, they found a hermit elder - Old Man Xingye.

Old man Xingye has white hair and a youthful face, and he looks like an immortal. It is said that he was once a famous strong man in the star field, but later he became tired of worldly disputes and lived in seclusion here. After listening to Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's story, he stroked his long beard and said slowly: "The 'Shadow' organization is indeed an extremely dangerous existence. They believe in the power of darkness and attempt to subvert the order of the star field and drag the entire star field into endless darkness."

"Senior, do you know how to completely eliminate them?" Gao Xingchen asked anxiously.

Elder Xingye pondered for a moment and said, "The members of the 'Shadow' organization have all practiced an extremely evil technique. This technique gives them great power, but also makes them afraid of a special energy - the power of the star soul."

"Star Soul Power?" Nan Li frowned slightly, "What is Star Soul Power?"

"The power of the star soul is a pure energy hidden deep in the core of the star. It has the power to purify all darkness," explained Elder Xingye. "Only with a strong enough star soul power can we completely destroy the 'Shadow' organization."

"Then how do we obtain the power of star soul?" Gao Xingchen asked.

"The power of the star soul is extremely rare. Only people with special physiques can sense and absorb it," Elder Xingye looked at Gao Xingchen and Nanli, "and you may be the 'child of destiny' in the prophecy, possessing this special physique."

The words of Elder Xingye undoubtedly pointed out the direction for Gao Xingchen and Nanli. They ignited the fire of hope and were determined to find a way to obtain the power of the star soul, completely eliminate the "Shadow" organization, and protect the peace of the star field.

Before leaving, Elder Xingye handed them an ancient ring and an ancient scroll, saying, "This ring can help you sense the power of the star soul, and this scroll records an ancient formation that can bring the power of the star soul to its fullest."

Gao Xingchen and Nanli solemnly took the ring and scroll and bowed deeply to Elder Xingye: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. We will definitely live up to your expectations!"

They know that a battle that will determine the fate of the star field is about to begin, and they are ready to meet the challenge. They will recruit like-minded partners to form a strong team to fight to protect the peace of the star field!

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not dare to delay. Elder Xingye's words were like an order, guiding their next course of action. They understood that it was like hitting a rock with an egg if they wanted to fight against the "Dark Shadow" with only two people. Only by gathering more partners with a common goal could they have a chance of survival in this catastrophe.

They first returned to the Gao family. The head of the Gao family had long known about Gao Xingchen's legendary experience, and was in awe of the heavy responsibility he now shouldered. As an ancient family in the star field, the Gao family has guarded the peace of the area for generations, and naturally would not sit idly by and watch the conspiracy of the "Shadow" succeed. The head of the Gao family immediately stated that the Gao family would fully support Gao Xingchen and called on the family members to actively respond and join the team against the "Shadow".

Afterwards, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li came to the Nan family again. The head of the Nan family was initially skeptical about Gao Xingchen's identity and purpose, but after Nan Li's explanation and persistence, he was finally moved by their determination. The Nan family is well-known in the star field for its elite assassination force, with a strong intelligence network and execution ability. Their joining will undoubtedly inject strong power into this team.

The news spread like sparks in the star field, and the deeds of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li inspired countless passionate young people. Some of them came from famous families, and some were born in the countryside, but they all had the same belief - to protect the star field and eliminate the "shadow".

On a dark and windy night, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li summoned all the partners who responded to the call. They came from different families and different planets, but at this moment, they all stood under the same flag and fought side by side for a common goal.

Gao Xingchen stood in front of everyone, holding tightly in his hand the ring given by Elder Xingye. The ring emitted a faint light, reflecting his resolute face. "Everyone," Gao Xingchen's voice echoed in the empty square, "We are gathered here today for a common goal, which is to eliminate the 'Shadow' and protect the peace of the star field!"

"The evil claws of 'Shadow' have reached every corner of the star field. They have committed all kinds of evil, including burning, killing, looting and robbing. Our homeland is facing an unprecedented threat!" Gao Xingchen's voice was filled with anger and grief. "Our relatives, friends, lovers and children all live on this land. We must not let them get hurt!"

"Old Man Xingye told us that we have the power to fight against the 'Dark Shadow', and that is the power of the Star Soul!" Gao Xingchen raised the ring in his hand, "I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat the 'Dark Shadow' and restore peace to the Star Region!"

Gao Xingchen's impassioned speech ignited the fire of hope in everyone's heart. They raised their weapons high and shouted deafeningly: "Destroy the 'Shadow'! Protect the star field!"

Just when everything was ready and Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were about to lead the team to the battlefield, a mysterious visitor suddenly appeared in front of them and brought the latest information about "Shadow". This information forced them to adjust their plans...

As soon as Gao Xingchen finished speaking, the excitement in the square had not yet cooled down, when a black shadow, wrapped in the night wind, landed silently in front of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. The person was wearing a black cloak with a hood covering his face, and exuded a cold aura, making it difficult for people to approach him.

"Who are you?" Gao Xingchen asked vigilantly, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the ring left by old man Xingye.

The man slowly took off his hood, revealing a weather-beaten old face, but his deep eyes sparkled with sharp light. "I am a traitor of the Shadow Organization, codenamed 'Night Owl'."

"Traitor of the Shadow Organization?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw surprise and a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

"I know what you are doubting." Night Owl said in a low voice, "But I can guarantee with my life that everything I said is true."

"Why did you betray Shadow?" Nanli asked with a hint of coldness in her tone.

Night Owl was silent for a moment, as if recalling some painful past events. After a long while, he spoke: "I used to be a top killer of the Shadow Organization, but later I found that everything I did was to help the evil. The actions of the Shadow Organization have completely violated my principles. I can't continue to make mistakes."

"So you chose to betray them?" Gao Xingchen asked.

"That's right." Night Owl said firmly, "I know it's dangerous to do this, but I have no choice. I came here this time to tell you an important piece of information."

"What information?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li asked in unison.

"The leader of the Shadow Organization is about to personally take action against you." Night Owl's voice was low and solemn. "He is an extremely dangerous person with unimaginable strength. You must be careful."

"What?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were shocked when they heard this. They originally thought that as long as they could unite as one, they would be able to defeat the Shadow Organization. However, they did not expect that the leader of the Shadow Organization would actually take action personally.

"Who is he?" Gao Xingchen asked with a trembling voice.

Night Owl shook his head, with a hint of fear and awe in his tone, "I don't know, he always hides in the dark, no one has seen his true face, and no one knows his true identity."

Night Owl's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's hearts to sink to the bottom. The appearance of the leader of the Shadow Organization undoubtedly raised the difficulty of this battle to an unprecedented level. Can they really defeat this mysterious and powerful enemy?

Everyone in the square also heard Night Owl's words. Their originally high morale suddenly stagnated, and a solemn look appeared on everyone's face.
