Cháng Mínghào listened quietly to the Water God's words, pondering the pros and cons in his heart. However, when he thought of the mission and responsibility he carried on his shoulders, his gaze grew increasingly resolute. Without a moment's hesitation, he said to the Water God, "Thank you for the warning, Senior, but my mind is made up. To protect the peace of this world, I am willing to give it a try! Please trust me!" With that, he cupped his hands and bowed to the Water God to show his determination.
Standing nearby, Hu Yuan felt a surge of worry well up in his heart as he heard Cháng Mínghào's resolute reply. He stepped forward, patted Cháng Mínghào on the shoulder, and earnestly exhorted, "Mínghào, you must be careful! Do not push yourself too hard. No matter the outcome, we will support your decision."
Cháng Mínghào nodded with a solemn expression, took a deep breath, and then slowly reached out his hands to cautiously touch the sphere of cyan light. The moment his fingers brushed the light, an incomparably powerful force rushed into his body like a roaring torrent. He felt as though his body were being torn apart in agonizing pain, and he could not suppress a muffled groan as his face turned as pale as paper in an instant. Yet he did not give up; instead, he clenched his teeth and stubbornly persisted, attempting to integrate this mighty power.
