A bed that traverses countless worlds

The energy fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, and the clouds and mist gradually dispersed. Lin Yu manipulated the magical bed and passed through the entrance to the ruins.

What appeared before him was an area composed of floating stone platforms of varying sizes.

These stone platforms float in mid-air, with a bottomless abyss below, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland, yet fraught with danger.

"Wow, this is so exciting!" Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim. He carefully maneuvered the bed and landed on the nearest stone platform.

The stone platform was smooth as a mirror, and felt icy cold to the touch. Beneath his feet lay endless void, which made him feel uneasy.

Before he could even catch his breath, the guardian statue of the ruins behind him passed through the entrance and landed with a thud on the stone platform where he was standing.

The immense impact caused the stone platform to shake violently, and Lin Yu was almost thrown off.

"A good opportunity!" Lin Yu reacted quickly, manipulating the weapon system on the bed and aiming at the stone statue's leg joints, launching a fierce attack.

The stone statue, in pain, brandished its massive stone axe in retaliation.

The stone axe whistled through the air as it cleaved past Lin Yu's bed, leaving a deep mark on the stone platform.

The stone platform swayed even more violently under the attacks of the two. Lin Yu felt as if he was playing an extremely difficult balancing game, and if he was not careful, he would fall into an abyss.

"Exciting! This is so exciting!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly while dodging the stone statues' attacks. "Come on, let's hurt each other!"

Suddenly, the stone platform shook violently, causing Lin Yu to lose his balance and lean backward, about to fall.

"Holy crap!" he exclaimed, his heart leaping into his throat.

At the last second, he grabbed the edge of the bed, thus avoiding falling into the abyss.

"That scared the hell out of me!" Lin Yu gasped for breath, his palms sweating profusely.

He looked up at the stone statue, only to find that it had also lost its balance due to the violent shaking of the stone platform, its massive body teetering on the verge of collapse.

"Hehe, looks like you're not much better off!" Lin Yu chuckled wickedly, manipulating the weapon system on the bed and launching another attack on the stone statue's leg joints.

Just then, Lin Yu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some strange devices hidden around the swaying stone platform...

"Wait, what are these?"

Lin Yu steadied himself and scanned his surroundings, only to discover that the stone platform was surrounded by a dense array of energy emitters, flashing with a dangerous light.

"Damn it, isn't this blatantly targeting me?" he cursed inwardly.

Before he could react, energy beams rained down upon him.

"Damn, do they really think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Yu manipulated the bed, dodging left and right, trying to avoid the dense attacks.

However, the rays were so fast and dense that he was inevitably grazed.

"Hiss—" A sharp burning pain instantly spread throughout his body, as if he had been scalded by a red-hot iron, and he felt like he was almost roasted alive.

Lin Yu winced in pain, but dared not relax for a moment.

He knew that now was not the time to cry out in pain; if he let his guard down, he might really fall into the abyss.

He gritted his teeth and continued to dodge the energy beams while also dealing with the statue's fierce attacks.

He felt like a spinning top, bobbing back and forth on the stone platform, always on the verge of being knocked away.

"This game is way too hard!" Lin Yu roared inwardly, feeling like he was running out of brain cells.

Just then, an ethereal voice suddenly rang out: "Brave warrior, the inscriptions in the stele forest show that the key to solving the mechanism lies in 'reversing'."

Lin Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a transparent, winged elf floating on the edge of the stone platform.

The elf looked a lot like an NPC from a game, but he didn't completely believe it. "Reverse? Isn't this obviously trying to trick me? There's no such simple logic." He dodged the rays while his brain raced.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the emission frequency of those energy rays seemed to follow a pattern.

Moreover, the vibrations of the stone platform also appear to be related to some energy emitters.

Instead of following the elf's instructions, he chose to target the energy emitters that vibrated the most violently.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After a series of attacks, the launchers indeed stopped working.

The tremors on the stone platform also decreased.

"Hey, as expected, you can't completely trust NPCs!" Lin Yu smiled smugly and continued to move the bed forward.

The spirit of the stele forest was stunned, its transparent body trembling slightly. "This...this is impossible, how could you know..."

Lin Yu ignored the elf's surprise and maneuvered the bed toward the next target.

Suddenly, he felt something strange under his feet. Looking down, he saw that the patterns on the stone platform were changing, as if foreshadowing something...

"It's done!" Lin Yu excitedly waved his fist and maneuvered the bed to a steady stop on the stone platform.

With the last energy emitter destroyed, the stone platform stopped shaking, and the surrounding energy rays vanished without a trace.

The enormous statue of the guardian of the ruins was firmly fixed in place by the mechanism, unable to move, looking like a big, clumsy creature that had been immobilized.

"Hehe, serves you right for being so smug. Now you know how powerful you are, huh?" Lin Yu couldn't help but tease, looking at the trapped stone statue.

He wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

This wave of operations is simply awesome!

After a brief moment of excitement, Lin Yu leaned back on the bed and relaxed.

At that moment, two beautiful figures appeared in his mind—Aisha and Alice.

One was a passionate exotic dancer, and the other was a gentle and graceful elven princess. They had both accompanied him in different worlds, giving him warmth and strength.

"I wonder how they are now..." Lin Yu's eyes softened, his heart filled with longing.

He gently stroked a pendant on the bed, a gift from Aisha—an exquisitely crafted bell that made a clear, melodious sound every time it was shaken, as if Aisha's laughter were right beside him.

The other ornament was a crystal-clear leaf, which Alice had picked and given to him herself. It contained the life force unique to the elves, and whenever he felt tired, he could feel a warm power flowing into his body as long as he held this leaf.

"Wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you!" Lin Yu clenched his fist.

After a short rest, Lin Yu rallied and scanned his surroundings.

Although the mechanism of the floating stone platform has been deciphered, this is merely the entrance to the ruins.

He noticed that in the distance, there was an area shrouded in mist, where some tall stone tablets could be vaguely seen, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"The Forest of Steles..." Lin Yu murmured to himself, a strange premonition rising in his heart.

He maneuvered the bed, slowly driving it toward the forest of steles.

Just then, the spirit of the stele forest reappeared, its transparent body shimmering with a faint light, and said in an ethereal voice, "Hero, you are about to enter the stele forest, where something is hidden..." The spirit's words were abruptly cut off, as if interrupted by some force.

Lin Yu looked at the elf in confusion, only to find that it had disappeared.

"What's hidden?" Lin Yu frowned, his heart filled with doubt.

He maneuvered the bed forward, and the clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the entire forest of steles before his eyes...

"This..." Lin Yu looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but gasp.
