Above the gray fog

Lin Shan's eyes were calm.

"So, what we have to do now...is to wait for the support of the powerful outer gods? Then let them destroy the gray mist universe."

Zhao Xiaoan nodded slightly. Although her eyes tried to restrain themselves, they were still infinitely cold.

"Well, that's true. However, it's best not to discuss this kind of thing outside casually. Come in and talk about it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the space next to her was slightly distorted, and a simple wooden door slowly opened.

Zhao Xiaoan walked in first, followed closely by Lin Shan.

The place they entered was Zhao Xiaoan's home. The previous small house had obviously been renovated and turned into a three-story small building.

The area of ​​the entire world has also become extremely vast, reaching tens of thousands of light-years in diameter.

As soon as Lin Shan and Zhao Xiaoan came in, another door appeared next to him.

The two people walking through the door were none other than Jin Tianzong and Yan Ruxin.

When Jin Tianzong saw Lin Shan, he laughed heartily, "Old Lin, when did you come back?"

"I just came back not long ago." Lin Shan responded.

"Let's go, let's go, it's not safe. Let's go talk inside." Jin Tianzong enthusiastically put his arm around Lin Shan's shoulders, and the three of them walked into the small building together.

The living room on the first floor was warmly and neatly decorated. Lin Shan saw at first glance a few photos hanging on the wall, a few group photos, and some snapshots of people doing something.

Lin Shan squinted for a while and saw that there were a few more photos in his storage space, the same ones hanging on the wall.

Before Lin Shan could continue his research, Jin Tianzong pushed Lin Shan to his seat.

The decoration of the living room is simple but not warm. The three of them sit around a wooden round table with some ornaments randomly placed on the table.

Jin Tianzong knocked on the table, and three bottles of wine appeared in front of the table, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

Yan Ruxin said softly, "Drink this wine later."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three pots of wine turned into three cups of tea. The tea was fragrant and refreshing.

The three of them picked up the tea cups in tacit understanding, and the atmosphere was filled with an inexplicable solemnity.

Zhao Xiaoan's eyes were cold, Jin Tianzong's expression was serious, and Lin Shanze looked at the reflection of the tea cup thoughtfully.

Jin Tianzong was the first to speak, "It seems that you have been to the Gray Mist."

"Been there." Lin Shan nodded, "I also learned some things."

"About two years ago, our memories were all unblocked." Jin Tianzong sighed softly, "Unfortunately, I was deceived by all kinds of cover-up information spread by Yuanting and some forces before."

"Has your world-saving plan been shelved?" Lin Shan looked at Jin Tianzong.

He remembered that Jin Tianzong also thought of a plan to save the human race, but he had forgotten what it was.

"What else can we save?" Jin Tianzong said angrily, "We can't save him at all."

"The gray fog universe will be destroyed or sunk, but the source world is an unsinkable world. As long as the fragments of the source world are not discovered, when the new scale comes, the new China mainland and the gray fog universe will be born."

Lin Shan thought about what happened to the Earth in the past, "The fire left behind is similar to the Earth?"

"This time, instead of retaining fire like the earth, the gray fog universe this time should be completely destroyed." Yan Ruxin slowly shook his head and explained, "The universe that the earth belongs to is what the Human Emperor and others originally came from. The embryos pushed from the distant void were nourished by the rules of China and eventually became the "twin" universes of China. The earth's universe was allowed to retain the fire at that time because the destruction of the China Continent was only temporary. The formation of the gray fog universe was destined to not destroy the China Continent. To be truly destroyed, only the subsequent transfer of fire is required to allow the fire to come to the new world and continue to multiply. "

"But this time is different. If the gray mist universe is completely destroyed, it will be useless to transfer the fire as before. The moment the gray mist breaks, no matter how far apart they are, those who have not transcended will not be able to survive."

Lin Shan fell into silence.

Questions kept popping up in my mind.

Because there were so many questions, Lin Shan didn’t know where to start.

"Are you confused about anything? We can tell you everything we know, but now we know most of the truth." Yan Ruxin took a sip of tea, "This tea has the effect of clearing the mind. You can try it.”

Lin Shan picked up the tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

As the tea entered his throat, a cool breath spread down his throat, instantly permeating his whole body.

The coolness was not only for the body, but also like a cleansing that went straight to the depths of the soul, making him feel an unprecedented tranquility.

The chaos in my mind was suppressed.

Lin Shan organized his thoughts.

"I do have a lot of questions to ask."

"Ask, although the three of us have a lot of questions, we should know more than you." Jin Tianzong looked at Lin Shan, his eyes were like saying, 'Poor baby. ’

Lin Shan glanced at him and received a sneer.

"The old creatures as anchors will accelerate the destruction of the gray fog universe. Is this true?" Lin Shan asked.

The three of them were stunned for a second, not expecting Lin Shan to ask this question at this time.

"It's true." Yan Ruxin nodded, "Most of the ancient creatures now come from the earth universe. Their existence will cause the resurgence of the rules of the Chinese mainland, thus causing the collapse of the newly established gray fog rules. But this is only a possibility. If we rely on the guidance of the old creatures, it may take trillions of years or even longer before the gray fog collapses."

"Hmm..." Lin Shan thought for two seconds and then asked, "Do those strange creatures in the past still have a chance to revive?"

"Ahem." Jin Tianzong coughed lightly.

he said slowly.

"At the beginning, the Human Emperor and the others had already planned for this. Even the powerful Shenzhou Continent could not defeat the Outer Gods, let alone the Gray Mist Universe that forcibly extended their lives."

"One of the reasons why we have to forcefully extend our lives is to create an existence like Weirdness."

"The only person who can restore the strange state is the current master of life - World Tree - Yggdrasil, and as one of the insiders, Uggdrasil will definitely not let the layout that was finally built collapse. Bad, so, the message of resuscitating the strange and fighting against the alien gods has always been just a pretense to deceive the alien gods. There are many, many more similar pretexts. Only if the gray fog people believe it first, will the alien gods believe it. And only 늅 Only spirits who are among the nameless ones are qualified to know the truth. Even the nameless ones cannot escape the knowledge stolen by the alien gods. Of course, we are an exception. Except for Xiao An, we are all still at the level of Sequence 0. "

"The truth is that when the real destruction comes, the only thing that can serve as a fire to continue the civilization of all races is Weird."

"Weirdness is the kind of fire that all races in the past left for themselves in this huge layout."

"They will be resurrected by Yectrasil in a new time and in a new world, and they will become the spirits of that time, but they will not be able to save their memories because any clues will be discovered by the outside gods."

Jin Tianzong paused for a moment and continued, "The emergence of the potion system is due to the rules of nature. Normally, there are only physical bodies and fallen bodies. This is a relatively balanced path that nature has left for everyone. The magical body is what nature wants. The instinctive reaction to resist the emergence of strange species is naturally to hope that the spirits of the new era can take over the spirits of the old era. At the beginning, the Human Emperor and the others made some changes to the gray fog rules, so that the appearance rate of the sequence of stone tablets and strange bodies was extremely high. Greatly reduced to protect the weirdness.”

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Jin Tianzong looked at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan didn't speak, just frowned.

He is digesting this information, allowing this information that can be called the truth to take away from his previous knowledge.

Speaking of which, it's really a bit ridiculous.

When he was weak, his knowledge of contact may be false. He always thought it was true and thought he was getting closer to the truth.

Now he does know the truth, but he has been deceived for a long time, making him doubt whether the truth he knows now is the real truth?

"Lu Ri, is this what I know?" Lin Shan asked after more than ten seconds of silence.

"There is nothing wrong with Green Sun. The appearance of Green Sun was an accident. No one had ever thought that invaders would appear in the gray fog universe in previous eras." Jin Tianzong sat back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, "Today I found out that I It's me..."

"So, the information about the invaders is true? Most of those masters are invaders, right?" Lin Shan asked.

"Yes." Yan Ruxin answered, "Yuan Ting is the invader's force. It is the force we need to pay most attention to at the moment. After they notice some situations, they may carry out a round of revenge on the past."

Lin Shan was a little confused, "Retaliation? Aren't they preparing to run away now? Is there still time to harass the old days?"

"They have been running, but there are many people who cannot escape. I estimate that Yuanting will tell some people their identities, and those people will soon find trouble with Green Day."

"What's the meaning?"

"The people from Yuanting come from the other side. They got the news from the other side that the super-standard world of the Gray Mist Universe is weak, and they used all their strength to attack the Gray Mist Universe. You know the final result, they won, or He said that the Old Ones are not willing to fight with them. The true leaders of the Old Ones know very well what the final outcome of the Gray Mist Universe will be, and they don’t care who rules the world.”

"But later, Yuanting got a few words from somewhere, and put all the blame for restarting the gray fog universe and provoking the outer gods on the old body."

"Under the attack of Yuanting, the plate of the old days gradually shrank. In order to avoid a head-on confrontation with Yuanting, the fire only developed at the edge of the universe. You know what happened next. Yuanting has been unyielding, and the true leader of the old days Those who have just watched their actions have never declared war directly with Yuanting. These old spirits that exist in the gray fog universe are just transitional fires. The purpose of leaving this batch of fires was to take advantage of this period in the gray fog universe. It will take time to cultivate some strong men, and this goal will be achieved. The presence or absence of the remaining people of the past will not affect anything. The outcome has already been determined. "

"The remnants of the old days are the combat power that should really be preserved, primarily for the sake of the follow-up plan."

Lin Shan's brows frowned more and more, "What about the ancient gods? Do they know the news?"

"Guess where the ancient gods are now?" Yan Ruxin showed a smile.

"Where?"

"Most of them have fallen asleep. The ancient gods were born at the beginning of the world, but the truly powerful people of all races have long lived through hundreds of hours. That is to say, they have experienced hundreds of divine continents and gray In the foggy universe, how could the ancient gods be the opponents of those great gods? The original ancient gods were able to enslave everyone, which was the indulgence of many great gods. The new world must develop according to the normal process. Whenever something goes wrong, it will arouse the suspicion of the outside gods. When they searched for hundreds of scales in the source world, their patience was probably at its limit. "

"So, all the ancient gods will die in the end?" Lin Shan asked.

"Well, we gave the ancient gods a way to continue to survive, so they helped us contain Yuanting."

"Contain Yuanting..." This was information that Lin Shan had never heard before.

"If that's the case, wouldn't everything I knew about the history of this world be all false?"

"Why is it false?" Yan Ruxin asked back, "They are all true. The old days did have the ability to defeat the ancient gods and those invaders from the other side of the island. But in order to ensure that the outer gods do not see abnormalities from the long river of time, the real No powerful god has ever intervened in history, and most of the information you know about history is true.”

"Are the great gods you have been talking about the empty shells in the dilapidated palaces?" Lin Shan asked.

"Yes, isn't this the name you gave me? They do all have the title of a certain great god or great master." Yan Ruxin nodded naturally, "Although I am not an indescribable person yet, I already have the ability to see. I can see some of your past abilities and what you and the dream master have experienced."

Lin Shan was silent for tens of seconds again and asked the question he was most concerned about, "So... you are all fake?"

After hearing that Lin Shan finally asked this question, the three people's body movements all became stiff to varying degrees.

Zhao Xiaoan took the lead in relaxing.

“I figured out a long time ago that I might not be who I am.”

"In my memory, there are fragments of my acquaintance with you for a long time, even going back several ticks. Only what happened at this tick feels real to me, and the other memories are very special to me. Mo눃, at that moment I understood that only the me at this scale is me, the me at the previous scale and the me in the future will not be me."

"I once guessed, like the master of dreams, that I might just be a chess piece, and then I figured it out."

"I am who I am, and my 'existence' is unique. Why am I a chess piece? Nothing I do is involuntary. I understand this very well."

Zhao Xiaoan said calmly, drinking Qingxin tea with an expressionless face.

"Hahaha, Lao Lin, you don't have to worry about this. What's real or fake? Why bother? We're here now, aren't we? Do you think I'm fake?" Jin Tianzong laughed and took the photo Patting Lin Shan on the shoulder, "Don't think too much, just trust your feelings."

Yan Ruxin's eyes were filled with different colors, and she said easily, "I have some different guesses, maybe there is nothing true or false at all."

"Our existence is only based on a force that we cannot understand. Our existence itself is very real. It cannot be false. But the empty shell in the gray fog is real. Why, we won't Is it the 'soul' in that empty shell?"

"We can't judge things just by the strangeness and familiarity of our memories. After all, that is an area we have never been exposed to."
