Su Yao slowly approached the ancient ruins, feeling the mysterious power grow stronger with each step. The ruins' gate was tall and heavy, covered with ancient and mysterious runes that shimmered with a faint light, as if telling a long-ago story.
Su Yao reached out to touch the door, but the instant her fingertips touched it, an energy pulse erupted from the door, sending Su Yao flying backward. After regaining her footing, she became even more cautious. The system notification read: "The door's runes have been detected to be related to a special energy frequency. A matching frequency must be found to open it."
Su Yao began searching for clues around the ruins. On one side of the wall, she discovered some patterns similar to the runes on the gate. These patterns were partially covered by ice and snow, so Su Yao used her fire powers to carefully melt the ice and snow. As the ice and snow receded, more patterns appeared, seemingly an indicator of guiding energy frequencies.
Just as Su Yao was concentrating on studying the pattern, some ice snakes suddenly emerged from the surrounding snow. These ice snakes were transparent like crystal, moved swiftly, and slithered towards Su Yao. Su Yao immediately activated her wind blade ability, cutting the approaching ice snakes into several pieces, but the number of ice snakes continued to increase, and soon they surrounded her.
Su Yao calmed down and used her spatial abilities to teleport outside the encirclement. Then, she combined her fire and spatial abilities to create small explosive spaces within the ice snake swarm. The ice snakes shattered under the intense heat and the impact of the explosions, turning into shimmering fragments on the ground.
Having dealt with the threat of the ice serpent, Su Yao continued studying the patterns. After much effort, she finally understood the relationship between the runes and energy frequencies. Using her special ability, guided by the diagram, she emitted energy waves of a specific frequency. The gate to the ruins slowly opened, and a powerful surge of energy rushed out.
Stepping inside the ruins, one finds a vast, circular hall. At the center of the hall stands an energy sphere radiating multicolored light, surrounded by strange mechanical devices. The energy sphere illuminates the entire hall, and Su Yao can sense the immense power it contains, a connection to the energy of the apocalypse.
Just as Su Yao was about to approach the energy sphere, the mechanical devices suddenly activated. They began to spin, emitting a buzzing sound, and beams of laser light shot out from the devices, heading towards Su Yao. Su Yao used her spatial abilities to dodge the lasers while simultaneously searching for a way to shut down the mechanical devices.
While dodging, Su Yao discovered energy nodes on the mechanical device, which appeared to be crucial to its operation. Seizing the opportunity, she activated her spatial blade ability, accurately striking one of the energy nodes. The struck part of the mechanical device ceased functioning, but the attacks from the other devices intensified.
Su Yao did not back down; she continued attacking the other energy nodes. After hitting several nodes in succession, the mechanical device's attacks gradually weakened and eventually stopped completely. Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the central energy sphere.
As she approached the energy sphere, the system prompted: "This energy sphere is one of the cores controlling the energy of the apocalypse, but it requires a special key to operate." Su Yao frowned and began searching for clues about the key in the hall.
In a corner of the hall, she discovered a mural. The mural depicted a figure holding a scepter, topped with a gem whose shape perfectly matched a groove on the energy sphere. Su Yao guessed that the scepter in the mural was the key to unlocking the energy sphere.
She continued her search in the other rooms of the ruins. In a room filled with clutter, she found an object resembling a scepter from a mural. However, the scepter was broken, and the gemstones were missing. Su Yao did not give up. She used the system to analyze the scepter's material and structure, attempting to repair it.
After some effort, Su Yao found some suitable materials and repaired the scepter. She returned to the hall with the scepter and inserted it into the groove of the energy sphere. The energy sphere began to flash intensely, its light becoming even more dazzling.
Suddenly, the energy sphere released a powerful energy pulse, enveloping Su Yao. Within the pulse, she saw images of the origins of the apocalypse and its solutions. It turned out that to stop the apocalypse, several other similar energy cores needed to be found and their energies balanced.
After the energy pulse disappeared, Su Yao left the ruins with a new mission and information. She knew the journey ahead would be even more difficult, but to save the world, she embarked on a quest to find other energy cores without hesitation.
