Above the gray fog

Half a month later.

Lin Shan sat in the main control room and was lost in thought.

He was far away from the Apostle Galaxy at this moment, but his best friend and only descendant were still in the human race.

A long time ago, Lin Shan went to find Huang Liu. Huang Liu was moved when he heard that Lin Shan wanted to invite him to go with him, but he refused in the end.

It was not that he could not let go of the Night Clan, but that he could not let go of his sister. Although Huang Liu did not know where his sister was, she was definitely in the human circle. If he left, his sister would not be able to find him when she came back.

After hearing Huang Liu's answer, Lin Shan did not say anything else. Although he could not understand this kind of sibling affection, he respected Huang Liu's choice.

Lin Shan did not think about taking Lin Changsheng with him. He knew very well that Lin Changsheng would most likely not go with him, even if he revealed his identity.

Lin Changsheng was raised by Huang Liu and Tushan Anni since he was a child, and the love they had for him was no less.

Lin Shan had observed Lin Changsheng for a long time. Lin Changsheng's personality was very different from his, most likely due to the influence of Huang Liu, but they also had many similarities.

They were not ungrateful people. Although they might not be able to repay a drop of water with a spring, they would definitely repay a favor.

Lin Shan knew that it was impossible for Lin Changsheng to leave his adoptive parents and leave with him, unless he used force, but that was meaningless.

Thinking of this, Lin Shan couldn't help but feel empty in his heart. He had done favors to many people, but how many people in the world had done favors to him?

Not to mention favors, even the people who had direct contact with him were very few...

Through the thick glass, one could only see countless streams of light extending rapidly to the back.

The spacecraft crossed several large domains and finally arrived at the end of the fateful smoke.

"The gray fog universe... is really full of wonders. If it weren't for the accurate coordinates, it would be impossible to find this place..." Lin Shan was also a little surprised to see the scenery outside the starship.

Lin Shan was overwhelmed by the magnificent scenes that seemed like dreams. A place that even the wildest imagination could hardly describe was now truly presented before his eyes.

Here, the background of the universe was not deep darkness, but was shrouded in elegant gray light, like the sky before dawn, gentle and full of mystery.

In front of him, colorful corals grew freely in the void like rootless plants. Their colors were richer than any palette, with warm red, deep blue, and vibrant green. Among the corals, fish of different colors swam happily in the void, like the elves of the universe. Their bodies, set against the light fog, seemed to be coated with a layer of mysterious fluorescence, shining brightly.

However, in this vibrant scene, a huge black corpse quietly stretched across the starry sky, like a god who had experienced vicissitudes of life. Its existence seemed to be a provocation to this piece of romantic life.

If you look closely, you will find that this is the body of an angel, but unlike ordinary angels, the main color of this angel's body is black.

The angel's body is majestic, but it no longer has the breath of life. Its huge head like a star and its body as dark as the abyss exude a deep silence. The most shocking thing is its sixteen pairs of half-rotten wings. They used to be a symbol of light and flying, but now they are like historical relics eroded by time, narrating silent glory and decline.

But even so, the angel's body still exudes an indescribable majesty.

Around the angel's body, life is still blooming, corals are gorgeous, and fish swim freely. The angel's dead silence forms a strong contrast with the flourishing life around it. Life and death, at this moment, coexist so harmoniously.

Lin Shan quietly witnessed the cosmic chapter woven by life and death.

"Oh, dead, this guy is at least a Sequence 2 level god..." Zhao Xiaoan sat next to Lin Shan, and saw the scene in front of him, and sighed, "In this endless universe, life and death are not opposites, they are interdependent and complement each other."

"Death can be life, and life can also be death."

"Well... this phenomenon exists on Earth, it seems to be called whale fall." Lin Shan nodded slowly. At this moment, he really felt that the boundary between life and death was very vague.

"When the life level reaches Sequence 2, the body will be immortal after death, and live as long as the world. The corpse will leave a legacy for future generations, and even all living things. You put the bracelet with the human race near the god's corpse. Some people are lucky and will awaken talents related to angels. This is the legacy."

"Well..." Lin Shan took off the bracelet and threw it above the god's corpse, "Put it there first, we may not stay for too long."

As he said, Lin Shan also put away the starship and flew towards the head of the black angel.

In just a few seconds, Lin Shan passed through the dense corals and arrived at the center of the angel's body, where the angels rebuilt their home.

Lin Shan's eyes wandered below, and around the center of the angel's head was a series of small houses built of brilliant stones.

The roof was full of various suspended plants, and their roots grew in the air like a green waterfall, adding infinite vitality to this home.

The children of the angels were playing, and their silver bell laughter penetrated far away.

This was the first time Lin Shan saw a child among angels. Angels have always been rare. Unlike other races, they cannot give birth naturally.

Lin Shan slightly released his pressure to remind the strong angels that he was coming.

As if they sensed Lin Shan's aura, the laughter of the angel children flying low in the sky suddenly stopped, and they hid in the house with a look of fear.

Thousands of buildings stood on the infinite flat space between the black angel's eyebrows. Except for these dozens of children, all the adult angels were in the buildings.

Not long after, three auras rose into the sky, one of which even had a life level of sequence 3.

"Hmm?" At a certain moment, Lin Shan frowned slightly, and the cracked Sky-cutting Spear suddenly appeared in front of him.

A large sword emitting brilliant light chopped on the spear.

The invisible ripples spread several light years away, but did not cause any damage.

Lin Shan held the other end of the Sky-cutting Spear in his hand, exerted a little force, and shook the large sword away.

"I didn't expect that a weak person like me could grow up to be on par with me in such a short time." A soft female voice came over, "Do I need to introduce myself again?"

"Juli Icarus, you are also the first creature I have seen who can keep up with me." Lin Shan replied lightly.

"I just recovered some of my strength." The other side whispered, "You are the one who has made rapid progress. You have come to this point in just a few thousand years. You are really blessed by nature."

The white light on the giant sword dissipated, revealing an almost perfect face, light golden hair floating on the shoulders, a halo above the head, and black wings behind. As the wings danced, a little black particles spread.
