Above the gray fog

"Come in." Shennong's eyes flickered red, and he opened the wooden door to signal Lin Shan to come in.

Lin Shan glanced at the God of Fraud and walked into the house.

There were only very simple furniture in the house, and a cup of cold tea was placed on the table.

The two sat opposite each other at the simple wooden table.

"You have many secrets, and the deeper ones are so hidden that even I can't see them clearly." Shennong looked at Lin Shan with his eyes flashing red.

"How could Shennong, the Yan Emperor in Chinese legend, become a robot?" Lin Shan couldn't help asking.

"To live, even if it's just a lingering breath." Shennong reached into his stomach and took out a cup of hot tea, "Enjoy it slowly."

Lin Shan took the teacup made of white jade, "I remember that even the lifespan of the master has a limit."

Shennong was not just a simple person in the old days. Even in the old days, Shennong had a long history.

In the old days, plus the eleven eras of the origin, Lin Shan couldn't imagine how many billions of years, trillions or quadrillions of years there were between them?

"Lifespan has a limit, but existence and consciousness do not." Shennong said mechanically, "However, just like the universe, there is also a limit to the number of times a living being can restart."

"Your predecessor reached this limit, and He used his last strength to promote your birth." Shennong revealed Lin Shan's origins in one sentence.

"Hmm..." This is similar to what he guessed. Lin Shan picked up the white jade teacup and took a sip. A strange force rushed straight to his head, making him instantly energetic.

"This tea?" Lin Shan was surprised. It was just ordinary tea. How could it have such an effect?

"Is the tea good? The person who makes it." The spirit made a mechanical voice, "After becoming a god, do you feel confused?"

"Hmm, a little." Lin Shan nodded.

The confusion is real.

The universe is too big, and he doesn't know where to go. "

"It's normal to be confused, because you are not Him after all. I'll tell you a few stories. After listening to them, you can decide whether to leave or stay. "The light in Shennong's eyes flashed several times.

"Okay. ”

Shennong said faintly:

“We lost the last battle of the Old Days.”

“The Old Emperor sacrificed himself to keep the invading enemies out. The origin took root on the basis of the Old Days. On that day, all the ordinary people of the Old Days died, and the extraordinary became weird. ”

“Only many gods of the Old Days survived, and the gods brought the fire to the Gemini Universe.”

“While they helped the fire grow, they also left many myths.”

“We returned again and again with the fire, and now it is the eleventh time.”

“A new civilization was born in the Shenzhou Continent, and we became outsiders. We were driven away again and again, and fought bloody battles again and again. The power of the Old Days could not be replenished, and gradually fell into an absolute disadvantage.”

“Until the eleventh era, the Old Days were no longer able to fight, and even survival became a problem. In order to continue, we can only choose to cooperate with the old gods, our former mortal enemies.”

“The first story is over, just ask if you have any questions. "Shennong looked at Lin Shan.

"Why did Yuanchu have to drive out the Old Days?" Lin Shan looked at Shennong. He was also a member of the Old Days. The Pandora trip had made him feel the malice from Yuanchu.

"Because the creatures of the Old Days are like tiny anchor points. When the number of these tiny anchor points reaches a certain level, the gray fog universe will return to the state of the Shenzhou continent. At that time, the barrier will disappear, the foreign gods will invade, and all the creatures will die. "Shennong explained, "The fewer the number of the Old Days, the longer Yuanchu can exist. "

"But, wasn't the gray fog barrier set up by the Human Emperor? The Human Emperor is a god of the Old Days, right?"

Shennong shook his head slowly, "The Human Emperor only wanted to save Shenzhou at the beginning, and he could not have imagined that this day would come."

"Is Yuanchu targeting the Old Days because he is afraid of the foreign gods?" Lin Shan asked.

"That's right." Shennong nodded.

"What if the Old Days and Yuanchu cooperate to deal with the foreign gods? "Lin Shan asked.

"I have tried, but I can't beat them. The current Yuanchu plus the Old Days are not even one ten-thousandth of the old days of Shenzhou. They lost when the old days were glorious, let alone now." Shennong directly blocked Lin Shan's thoughts, "We have tried everything we can think of."

"You asked me to stay, do you want me to help you deal with Yuanchu?"

"We have long been unable to deal with Yuanchu. What we are doing is protection and inheritance. You are a god in the genealogy. They will definitely arrange for you to guard the Qishi. Qishi connects to other worlds outside the gray fog universe. I hope you can spread some fire for the old days through Qishi."

"Let me take the creatures of the old days to the outside world?"

"That's right." Shennong nodded solemnly, "The purpose of Yuanchu is to completely destroy the old days. This is the last era, and we must prepare early."

"Since there are other worlds, wouldn't it be better to take the fire to survive in other worlds? "Lin Shan asked in confusion, "There is no need to fight to the death in the Gray Mist Universe, the Origin, and the Outer Gods..."

The red light flashed quickly in Shennong's eyes, "The Gray Mist Universe is the core of all worlds. It can give birth to masters and even surpass the master. Here, we still have a glimmer of hope. If we go somewhere else, we really have no chance. All worlds cannot escape the invasion of the Outer Gods. Their goal is to return everything to chaos."

"Sending the fire is for continuation, and staying here is also for continuation."

"I understand, I will help you." Lin Shan nodded. As a member of the old days, he was still facing the Yan Emperor. He had no reason to refuse such a request.

"It's not to help us, it's to help yourself." Shennong looked at Lin Shan.

"Hmm..."

"What about the second story?" Lin Shan asked.

Shennong took out another cup of hot tea from his stomach, "The second story is about the 'curse'."

"The 'curse' has existed since the birth of the universe. Some people say it is the predecessor of the old gods, and some people say it comes from the conspiracy of the outer gods. There are 999 'curses' in the world. Any person who holds the curse is a child of destiny and can easily crush his peers."

"Your predecessor is the holder of the 'curse'."

"The 'curse' he holds is the fifth-ranked 'Infinity'."

"As the name suggests, when the curse is activated, it has infinite spirituality and even divine power."

"'Infinity', now on you..."

"Your predecessor also has another title, called 'Sealer'. His reputation can be said to be resounding throughout the old days and the origin, but now it has been erased by the gods of the origin, so there is no record of it."

"Don't feel burdened. No matter what, he is him and you are you. Apart from some inheritance, you have nothing to do with each other. Even your personalities are very different."

Lin Shan was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Are there any more stories?"
