Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 248 The Choice of Power

Within the core, a faint light flickered. The members of the expedition team gathered around the ancient and mysterious source of spiritual power, as if immersed in an invisible ocean of energy. The power slowly flowed around them, bearing the vicissitudes of time and the power of the unknown, inspiring both awe and a sense of urgency. They had just returned from a thrilling exploration, and each face still lingered with a lingering sense of tension and excitement. Now, a crucial decision lay before them: how to distribute this fate-altering power to strengthen the team's overall strength.

Yun Yi, the team leader, stood in the center of the crowd. His gaze, sharp as a torch, swept across the faces of each member, finally resting on the flowing spiritual energy. "We have found the source of the spiritual energy. It is a gift from fate, but also a test for us." His voice was steady and powerful, each word resonating clearly with the crowd. "Now, we must decide how to make this power a force for our team's progress, rather than a source of division."

Arya, the woman with golden eyes, her eyes gleamed with wisdom and determination. "Indeed, this power is powerful enough to change everything, but we cannot act blindly." She pursed her rosy lips, her tone undeniably firm. "We must proceed with caution, ensuring that this power is distributed fairly and appropriately. Otherwise, it could become a hidden danger within our team."

Kevin, clutching a yellowed ancient tome, frowned, as if engaging in a timeless conversation with the sages within. "According to ancient texts, the source of spiritual energy isn't ownerless; it possesses its own will and choices," he spoke slowly, each word revealing his reverence for ancient knowledge. "Perhaps, we should respect the will of this power and allow it to choose its own master."

Feng Wuhen, a man always calm and composed, shook his head. His voice was soft, but every word was powerful. "I object. We are explorers, brave men seeking power. How can we leave our fate to the unknown? We should distribute this power according to our contributions, potential, and loyalty to the team. Only in this way can we ensure that our team is invincible on the road ahead."

As Feng Wuhen finished his words, the expedition team split into two factions, with arguments rising and falling like a surging tide. Some supported Arya and Yun Yi's cautious and fair approach, believing that everyone should have the opportunity to access this power. Others agreed with Feng Wuhen's view, advocating for distribution based on individual ability and contribution to maximize the team's overall strength.

"We can't let this force become the fuse that splits the team!" A burly team member waved his arms excitedly.

"But we can't let it become a shelter for mediocre people!" Another female team member who was proficient in magic retorted, with a gleam of unwillingness to be mediocre in her eyes.

Yun Yi listened quietly, his heart churning with anxiety. He knew this decision not only affected the team's future, but also the fate of everyone involved. He had to find a solution that would ensure fairness while also enhancing the team's strength.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me." Yun Yi's voice rang out amid the noise, like a stream of clear water, instantly calming all arguments. "I understand everyone's concerns and expectations, and I understand the importance of this power. But I think we shouldn't go to extremes, but instead find a balance." He paused and continued, "We can first conduct a comprehensive assessment of everyone's cultivation, potential, contribution, and loyalty to the team, and then distribute power based on the results. This will ensure fairness while maximizing the effectiveness of this power."

Arya's eyes flashed with approval when she heard this, and she nodded in support. "Yun Yi is right. We can jointly develop evaluation criteria and supervise each other's evaluation process to ensure that everyone's evaluation results are fair and objective. In this way, we can reasonably allocate resources based on the evaluation results and make everyone convinced."

Although Kevin still had some doubts, he gradually accepted the plan after Yun Yi and Arya's persuasion. "Okay, although this may be a bit complicated, as long as it ensures fairness and efficiency, I am willing to accept it." He nodded slightly in agreement.

Feng Wuhen looked at Yun Yi, a subtle flicker of approval in his eyes. "This plan is indeed very well thought out. It takes into account both fairness and the overall interests of the team. I agree." His voice was soft, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Following Yun Yi's proposal, the expedition team members engaged in a lively discussion, jointly developing evaluation criteria. Through debate and compromise, they ultimately arrived at a fair and reasonable distribution plan. Everyone received a corresponding power increase based on their actual situation and needs, and no one felt unfairly treated or complained.

"I think this distribution is fair." A usually taciturn team member finally spoke, a satisfied smile on his face.
