While interpreting the pattern, the old man slowly said: "This mysterious power is like a double-edged sword. It can bring endless blessings to the world, revive the earth, and prosper all things; but if it falls into the hands of evil, it can also cause a huge disaster that destroys the world and plunges the world into endless darkness and pain. Back then, the tribe paid a heavy price to seal it. Countless warriors shed blood on the battlefield, and the entire tribe was almost extinct. Now, if you want to open the stone door, you must promise me that you will never abuse this power, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." The old man's eyes were full of worry and expectation, staring at Lin Yu and Suna.
Lin Yu and Su Na exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing immense determination. Lin Yu spoke without hesitation, "Senior, rest assured. We are solely focused on uncovering the truth about the ruins and will never allow this power to fall into the hands of evil. We are willing to protect this responsibility with our lives." Lin Yu's voice was firm and powerful, echoing through the passage like a vow to heaven and earth.
The old man gazed at them, as if trying to discern their true thoughts from their eyes. After a long pause, he nodded slightly, as if making a difficult decision. "Alright, I choose to trust you. Next, I will guide you in deciphering the symbols and opening the stone gate. But remember, once the stone gate is opened, you will shoulder a heavy responsibility, a responsibility heavier than Mount Tai." The old man's voice carried a hint of admonition and a touch of relief.
Under the guidance of the elder, Lin Yu and Suna, with a mixture of apprehension and anticipation, touched the symbols on the stone gate in a specific order. With each symbol, the light on the stone gate intensified, as if an ancient seal were gradually awakening. As the last symbol was touched, the stone gate creaked open with a dull creak, releasing a powerful and mysterious aura. That aura carried the vicissitudes of time, the surge of power, and an indescribable mystery.
Behind the door lay a vast, empty space, a mysterious realm cut off from the world. In the center, a crystal ball shone with multicolored light, a dazzling star that illuminated the entire space. Around the crystal ball, mysterious runes flickered, like a group of leaping spirits, chanting an ancient and mysterious spell. The runes' radiance intertwined with the crystal ball's multicolored glow, creating a fantastical, dreamlike scene.
"This is the core of the mysterious power." The old man said, his eyes revealing deep awe, as if he was looking at the most sacred existence in the world.
At that moment, a sudden, eerie, noisy sound emanated from outside the passage. It sounded like countless insects crawling, like heavy footsteps, and mixed with faint roars, as if something terrifying was rapidly approaching them. Lin Yu and Suna's faces paled instantly. They didn't know what was about to happen, but they knew that a new crisis had arrived without warning... What kind of fate would this mysterious power bring? What kind of horrific crisis was about to strike? Could Lin Yu and Suna protect this power, solve all the mysteries of the Worm Valley, and safely escape this perilous place? Everything remained uncertain, and they were forced to plunge into a new life-or-death challenge. The gears of fate began to turn anew... The entire space seemed shrouded in an invisible dread, making it difficult to breathe. And they stood at the center of the storm, waiting for the unknown to arrive.
