Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

The Starry Sky Train sails quietly among the stars, with the Milky Way flowing outside the window.

Lin Yu sat alone in the corner of the observation car, his fingertips unconsciously sliding across the porthole, recalling the conversation with Liuying and the only four remaining unattained destinies in his mind.

The final clue seems to point to Elio.

And that unknown fate is still shrouded in mystery.

Then, the next goal seems to naturally fall on the mysterious fate.

“Myth…” Lin Yu whispered the name of the star god who was in charge of this destiny.

This star god is known for being secretive and spreading mysteries, and the power characteristics of his destiny are inevitably related to this.

The difficulty in obtaining it probably lies in finding a clear "entrance".

He recalled how he obtained the power of other destinies. Most of them were due to his deep understanding and practice of the philosophy of that destiny, or because of His care and attention.

But when it comes to "mystery", deliberately pursuing "mystery" itself seems to have violated its "hidden" nature.

This is like a philosophical paradox.

"Maybe...what I need is an opportunity, an unexpected 'puzzle' itself to find me?" Lin Yu pondered, making himself lose consciousness...it was still a bit out of touch with reality.

He was just guessing and didn't think that doing so would get His attention.

He closed his eyes, trying to sink his mind into the vast 'ocean', sensing the long river of destiny that represented 'mystery'.

It does exist, but it is like a mirage. Whenever he tries to get close, the trajectory of that power becomes blurred, as if shrouded by an impenetrable veil.

...

A few days later, after a routine jump, the train crew discovered a strange signal source floating in the sea of ​​stars.

It is not any known interstellar distress signal, nor is it a commercial route beacon. It is more like a...repeated, encrypted fragment of poetry, whose encoding method is ancient and strange.

"An unknown signal was detected, the source is unknown." Pam's report aroused everyone's interest.

"Let me see!" March 7 was the first to come over.

Xing pondered for a moment and then said, "Generally speaking, these kinds of inexplicable things are either hidden missions or traps."

Dan Heng checked the database and shook his head. "There's no matching record. The energy fluctuations of the signal source itself are also very strange. It seems to be...changing in a regular pattern, like a living thing."

Liuying stood quietly by, watching the encrypted data stream on the screen. "This feels... a bit like those hard-to-decipher 'hints' that Elio occasionally leaves behind, but not exactly the same."

Lin Yu's heart moved. Doesn't this unknown, encrypted, and mysterious thing just fit the characteristics of "mystery"?

"Can you lock the specific location of the signal source?" Lin Yu asked.

"Not far away is a small stellar debris belt of unknown number. It seems to be the remains of a shattered planet."

"The signal came from inside the largest fragment."

"Then let's go and take a look." Lin Yu made a decision, "Maybe we can find something interesting."

The starship slowly landed on the huge planet fragments.

It is a dead place with weak gravity and the surface is covered with impact craters and strange crystalline minerals.

Following the signal guidance, they quickly found a hidden entrance leading to the interior of the debris.

The entrance was covered with an energy barrier, with encrypted runes flowing across it that were the same source as the signal.

"It seems that I need to decrypt it before I can get in." Dan Heng tried to crack it using conventional methods, but the barrier did not move at all.

"Let me try." Lin Yu stepped forward.

Instead of trying to brute force or perform complex calculations, he placed his hand lightly on the barrier and closed his eyes.

He recalled his understanding of "mystery".

It is not the "answer" but the "process of seeking the answer".

It is not the "truth" but the "state in which the truth is hidden."

He no longer tried to unravel it, but tried to "resonate" with it, to feel the artistic conception of "coexistence of concealment and revelation" contained in these runes.

Gradually, the various destiny powers in his body fluctuated slightly, especially the power of intelligence, hunting, and even a hint of joy, which seemed to have produced some subtle interaction with the "mysterious" properties of the barrier.

The runes on the barrier began to flow faster, and then dissipated silently as if they had received some kind of instruction.

"Success!" March 7 cheered.

Behind the entrance is a corridor leading to the depths.

The walls on both sides are covered with murals and texts that have never been seen before, telling the history of a long-lost civilization, but the key parts are always deliberately blurred or erased, leaving a lot of suspense.

They went deeper into it and encountered all kinds of strange mechanisms and puzzles.

Some require interpreting the metaphors of star alignments, some require understanding that civilization's unique language, which is based on emotion rather than logic, and some even require "unlearning" certain inherent cognitions in order to see the right path.

All of this is full of "mystery".

Lin Yu played a central role in this.

He mobilized his intellect to analyze, used his memory to trace back traces, and even occasionally had a flash of inspiration, using harmony to feel the remaining "emotions" of the entire space to find direction.

He felt more and more clearly that a force different from any known destiny permeated this place. It encouraged exploration but concealed the answers.

Showing traces, but concealing the whole picture.

Finally, they came to a huge underground cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a metal sphere that is constantly changing its shape, like mercury.

It is the source of the mysterious signal.

As Lin Yu approached, lines of new, more complex encrypted information appeared on the surface of the sphere, emitting strong, tempting mental fluctuations.

This is a test and an invitation.

Lin Yu held his breath and focused all his attention on this final "puzzle".

He no longer relied solely on one destiny, but allowed the sixteen destinies in his body to resonate like a symphony. In the end, all these "strings" of perception and thinking were gently placed on the omnipresent yet elusive "mystery".

He understood that "mystery" is not a deliberate act of mystification, but an inherent and not fully understood part of the universe itself, a state of mind that maintains awe and curiosity about the unknown, and the fascinating veil before the truth is revealed.

At the moment when this new enlightenment arose in his heart, the encrypted information in front of him dissipated like snowflakes, turning into a stream of light and sinking into his eyebrows.

A new, indescribable power awakened within him.

It does not have a strong sense of attributes like other destiny forces. It is more like a layer of mist, an adaptability, an instinct to integrate into the unknown and understand the hidden.

He obtained the seventeenth destiny, mysterious.
