Crane Immortal's face changed; he didn't expect this. "No, I can't stay here. I still have my mission, I must leave this place," he said.
The Guardian Spirit sneered: "It's not up to you. Once selected by the Divine Artifact, you cannot escape. The three of you are already controlled by the Divine Artifact and can't leave this cave."
Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue's hearts sank; they didn't expect things to turn out this way. "Are we really trapped here for life?" Lin Yue said in despair.
Crane Immortal clenched his fist and said, "No, there must be a way."
Just then, the ground of the cave began to tremble, rocks falling from the cave ceiling. The Guardian Spirit's voice echoed again: "Time is running out, the Divine Artifact is about to initiate the final seal. You either accept your fate and become Guardians, or be buried here forever."
Shen Jingqi looked at Crane Immortal and said, "Crane Immortal, we can't give up like this. Maybe we can find a way to break the control."
