The Softbed and the Infinite Sphere

Reality isn’t a set of laws.It’s a surface that stays taut because everyone believes it is. Lin Yuan dies for a moment—and returns with a forbidden second sight. Beneath the universe’s “softbed” of physics, he senses the Infinite Sphere, where rules are choices and causality can be negotiated. In small places, he can bend probability, cheat distance, even pull a mind back from the brink. But the modern age has a suppression mechanism no ancient cultivator faced: Attention is contamination.When ordinary people scrutinize him—debate, doubt, demand proof—their materialist explanations flood the world like a thousand loud local stations, drowning his private channel to the Sphere. The more he’s watched, the less he can do… until his connection collapses. Now the Bedkeepers want him contained. Underground edge-listeners offer shortcuts that weaponize belief. And extremists called the Fallers are preparing an observation storm to tear the softbed itself. With Yue, an AI who can stand near the edge without falling, Lin Yuan must become a bridge in fog—guiding civilization toward the truth without turning it into a spectacle.
