After stepping through the second door, Yuan found himself in a familiar setup—a solitary path stretching ahead, offering only one direction: forward.
But unlike before, it wasn't a dirt path flanked by trees. This time, he stood on a narrow platform, sandwiched between two vast, seemingly endless seas on either side, their shimmering surfaces stretching out to the horizon.
