A bed that traverses countless worlds

As the clouds and mist dissipated, towering stone tablets stood before Lin Yu like ancient giants, their number stretching as far as the eye could see.

The stele is mottled and covered with densely packed strange characters, which wriggle like tadpoles or resemble some kind of mysterious symbol, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, as if telling an unknown secret.

"Wow, there are so many!" Lin Yu couldn't help but complain. The scale of this stele forest far exceeded his imagination; it was simply a giant labyrinth of characters.

The inscription on the monument gave him an even bigger headache; it was even harder to understand than Martian script, and it was practically the ultimate test of his intelligence.

A strong desire to challenge ignited in Lin Yu's heart.

"Hmph, I'm a seasoned transmigrator who's been through countless battles. How could mere inscriptions possibly stump me?" He manipulated the bed to slowly approach a stone tablet and began to carefully examine the text on it.

A strange energy fluctuation permeated the forest of steles, causing the surrounding air to become somewhat distorted.

The spirit of the stele forest reappeared beside Lin Yu at some point, its transparent body shimmering with a faint light, watching Lin Yu's every move like a ghost, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

Lin Yu tried various methods to interpret the inscription, from top to bottom, from left to right, and even tried reading it backwards, but all to no avail.

These words seemed to be encrypted by some mysterious force, making it impossible to understand their meaning.

"Could it be that I'm doing it wrong?" Lin Yu scratched his head, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Time ticked by, and his anxiety grew.

The forest of steles was completely silent, save for Lin Yu's rapid breathing and the slight movement of the bed, which only highlighted his tension.

Suddenly, Lin Yu had a flash of inspiration and remembered an ancient script deciphering guide he had obtained in another world.

He quickly retrieved the guide from the system space and began to interpret the inscription.

"It's done!" Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly, having finally deciphered the meaning of several characters.

However, when he tried to understand these words together, he found that they seemed to be deliberately misleading and had no logic whatsoever.

"Damn it, are you kidding me!" Lin Yu couldn't help but curse. He felt like he had fallen into a huge trap and couldn't climb out.

Just when he was about to give up, the spirit of the stele forest suddenly spoke...

"These words, put together, mean 'Head eastward, in search of the place where the sun rises.'" The voice of the Stele Forest Spirit was ethereal and otherworldly, as if it came from ancient times.

Lin Yu didn't act immediately. He stroked his chin and stared at the elf suspiciously: "Dude, are you sure you're not kidding me? The path you pointed out earlier almost made me fall into lava."

The Stele Forest Elf's transparent body shimmered slightly, seemingly surprised by Lin Yu's questioning.

A hint of surprise flickered across its blurry face, as if to say, "Why isn't this kid playing by the rules?"

Lin Yu ignored the elf's reaction. He recalled some clues he had found in the ruins: the murals on the walls, the symbols on the ground, and the residual energy fluctuations in the air...

These seemingly unrelated details gradually pieced together a complete picture in his mind.

“If the elf’s interpretation is correct, then according to the instructions on the mural, I should be heading towards a dead end. But if we interpret it the other way around…” Lin Yu’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as he manipulated the bed, moving it in the opposite direction from the elf’s instructions.

"Om-"

As the bed moved, the surrounding stone tablets began to vibrate slightly, and the characters on them began to shimmer, like stars in the night sky.

Lin Yu was overjoyed; he knew he had made the right bet!

He continued to decipher the inscription on the stone tablet, piecing together the correct characters, and a complete sentence appeared in his mind: "The land of sunset hides the key to truth."

"So that's how it is!" Lin Yu clenched his fist excitedly; he had finally found the key clue.

Following the instructions in the text, he manipulated the bed to arrive in front of a seemingly ordinary stone tablet.

"Click——"

With a soft thud, the stone tablet slowly sank, revealing a hidden passage.

The passageway was radiant with light, like a gateway to another world.

"It's done!" Lin Yu couldn't help but cheer. He manipulated the bed into the passage, and a powerful energy wave enveloped him. He felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

As the light faded, Lin Yu found himself in a huge underground space.

In the center of the space, a huge circular platform radiated a dazzling light, and the platform was surrounded by densely packed characters.

"Is this... the ultimate secret of the Stele Forest?" Lin Yu murmured to himself, "It seems the real show has only just begun..." The Stele Forest spirit's voice rang out again, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor in its tone.

Lin Yu's gaze swept over the text around the platform, and the tadpole-like symbols gradually became clearer in his eyes.

He connected the previously deciphered text fragments with these texts, and a startling truth gradually surfaced.

It turns out that the "loss" mentioned in the prophecy did not refer to actual loss, but rather to a transformation, a rebirth!

"Holy crap, so that's how it is!" Lin Yu couldn't help but swear, his worries vanishing and replaced by excitement and anticipation.

He seemed to see a door to a new world slowly opening, and he was the key to unlock that door!

He continued to decipher the remaining text, each word like a flash of lightning illuminating his path forward.

He understood his mission in the Sky Ruins, and he also understood the meaning of his existence.

His gaze hardened, and a powerful force surged within him, as if to break free from all constraints.

"Aisha, Alice, wait for me, I'll be back soon to share this good news with you!" A happy smile appeared on Lin Yu's face, and Aisha's gentle face and Alice's lively figure floated into his mind.

He could almost see their surprised and delighted expressions when they heard the news, and his heart was filled with sweetness and warmth.

Although a major discovery had been made in the Stele Forest, Lin Yu knew that this was only the beginning.

He has not yet reached the core of the Sky Ruins; many more unknown dangers and mysteries await his challenge.

"The real adventure is just beginning..." Lin Yu took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He maneuvered the magical bed, slowly moving it towards the teleportation array in the center of the platform.

"Wait!" The voice of the Forest Spirit suddenly rang out, its tone tinged with urgency. "Are you sure you want to go now? There..." The spirit's voice trailed off, as if something had stopped it from continuing.
