I have a space to Taoyuan in the end times

Cen Ran's slender fingers brushed across the stone slab engraved with strange runes, and a strange energy wave came from his fingertips.

Beneath the cold touch of the stone slab, there seems to be some unknown secret hidden.

At the top of the passage, rubble continued to fall, the rumbling sound became louder and louder, and the shadow of death enveloped everyone.

"This stone slab may be the key!" Cen Ran said in a firm tone, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

Wei Jing leaned against the wall, his face pale and his breathing rapid, but he still held on and asked with concern: "Xiao Ran, what did you find?" The fight just now caused his old injuries to relapse. The severe pain made it almost impossible for him to stand, but he still tried to stay awake, not wanting to become a burden to everyone.

Lin Yu also looked at Cen Ran worriedly. Although his injuries had not healed, he still tried his best to help everyone find a way out. He firmly believed that as long as they united as one, they would be able to overcome the current difficulties.

"I seem to have seen these runes somewhere..." Cen Ran frowned and tried hard to recall.

Just then, a faint cough was heard from deep within the passage.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking out from the shadows.

He was a hunchbacked old man with white hair and beard. He was wearing a tattered robe and holding a cane in his hand.

"Rune Old Man!" Gu Ling exclaimed, with a surprised expression on his face.

Old Man Rune slowly walked up to Cen Ran, his turbid eyes fell on the stone slab in her hand, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Child, this stone slab is the key to open the door to life." His voice was hoarse, but it carried an unquestionable power.

"The gate of life?" Cen Ran was delighted and asked quickly, "Old man, do you know how to open it?"

The old man nodded, stretched out his withered fingers, and tapped lightly on the stone slab.

The stone slab made a crisp sound, a flash of light passed by, and the runes on the stone slab began to rotate.

"The passage is about to open!" Lingfeng shouted in surprise.

The light on the stone slab became brighter and brighter, eventually forming a vortex-shaped light gate.

The light gate slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to an unknown world.

"Hurry, go in!" urged the old man Rune.

Cen Ran and others rushed into the light gate without hesitation and disappeared into the passage.

The moment they entered the light gate, the passage collapsed completely, burying everything in dust.

"Wait..." Wei Jing suddenly grabbed Cen Ran's arm, his tone hurried.

Cen Ran stared at the tightly closed stone door, which was carved with complex runes and flickered with a faint light.

The sound of the tunnel collapsing was getting closer and closer, rubble kept falling, and the air was filled with the smell of dust.

Time was running out and Cen Ran was getting anxious. She had to find a way to open the stone door as soon as possible.

"Let me try!" Cen Ran took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and prepared to forcibly break through the restriction of the stone gate.

"No!" Ling Feng hurriedly stopped her. "The runes on this stone door contain powerful energy. Breaking through it by force may cause the entire ruins to collapse, and we will all be buried here!"

Cen Ran's hand froze in mid-air. She knew Ling Feng was right, but deep down she felt unwilling.

Are they really going to die here?

She felt a strong sense of helplessness, as if she was trapped in an invisible giant net and unable to break free.

"Xiao Ran..." Gu Ling walked to Cen Ran, gently held her hand, and looked at her with a firm look, "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way out together."

Gu Ling's warm palm and firm gaze gave Cen Ran a little comfort. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She believed that as long as they didn't give up, they would be able to find hope of escape.

Wei Jing endured the pain, walked to the stone gate and carefully observed the runes on it, hoping to find some clues.

"These runes seem to be an ancient writing. I seem to have seen them somewhere..." He tried hard to recall, but the severe pain made it difficult for him to concentrate.

Lin Yu also forced himself to look for other exits, but he was disappointed to find that they had no other way out except this tightly closed stone door.

Time passed minute by minute, the sound of the passage collapsing became closer and closer, and the shadow of death enveloped everyone.

Just when they were about to despair...

"Cough cough..." A faint cough came from deep in the passage.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw...

A hunched figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in coarse linen clothes, but he exuded an indescribable majesty.

He was leaning on an ancient wooden staff with intricate runes carved on the top, which was flickering with a faint light.

"You are..." Cen Ran asked tentatively, his heart full of vigilance.

The old man smiled slightly, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, "I am one of the guardians of this relic. People call me the Rune Old Man." His voice was low and deep, as if it carried the sediment of time.

"Guardian?" Wei Jing clutched his chest, enduring the pain. "Do you know how to open this stone door?"

Old Man Rune nodded, his eyes falling on the stone slab in Cen Ran's hand, "This stone slab is the key to open the door to life." He stretched out his withered fingers and lightly tapped the stone slab.

The stone slab made a crisp sound, and the light became brighter. The runes on the stone slab began to rotate like twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Stand back!" said the old man Rune in a deep voice.

Everyone quickly stepped back, only to see the runes on the stone gate begin to resonate and emit a dazzling light.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the unknown.

"Come in quickly, children," Old Man Rune looked at them kindly, "Deep in the ruins, there are even greater secrets waiting for you to explore."

Cen Ran and others looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

They stepped into the passage without hesitation and disappeared in the light.

Old Man Rune looked at their departing backs, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

He slowly turned around and walked deeper into the ruins, muttering to himself, "I hope you can find the real answer..."

The stone door closed again, and the passage returned to silence. Only the low voice of the Rune Old Man echoed: "I hope it's not too late..." He raised his hand, and a rune flashing with strange light appeared in his palm, and then he clenched it tightly.
