Above the gray fog

Now. This group has also become so unfamiliar.

Lin Shan's every step is filled with heavy loneliness, and every look he takes is full of memories and confusion about the past.

Under this starry sky, he is the supreme being, but he is also the loneliest traveler.

His shadow stretched across the street and disappeared around the corner.

In this world he created, he is both the creator and an outsider. His figure wanders between thousands of lights and endless shadows, and there is an air of loneliness in his steps.

An invisible black flame floated around Lin Shan. The black flame wanted to get close to Lin Shan, but was blocked by a layer of golden light.

Suddenly, a strange smell suddenly invaded Lin Shan's range of perception, like a bit of strange temperature in the cold current.

Lin Shan's body stiffened for a moment, and his eyes were locked in one direction, with a hint of solemnity in his indifference.

The next second, his figure disappeared on the street like a wisp of smoke.

On the edge of a certain city, a row of two-story buildings with yards stood quietly, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Lin Shan's figure appeared out of thin air outside one of the courtyards. An imperceptible alertness flashed in his eyes, ready to face the unknown at any time.

In the courtyard, a man stood there. His smile was gentle and mysterious, and Lin Shan's figure reflected in his eyes, as if he had expected it.

"Who are you?" Lin Shan's voice was calm, with a hint of coldness. His body leaned forward slightly, as if a cheetah was aware of the disturbance ahead.

"I'm a firebrand just like you." The man answered calmly, and his gestures were tolerant and open, as if to show his honesty.

"The fire of the old days? Are you an ancient human race?" Lin Shan frowned slightly, and there was a trace of surprise in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

"You're not surprised, aren't you?" The man smiled, his fingers gently rubbing his chin, as if he was reminiscing about long-standing memories.

"What is your purpose?" Lin Shan's eyes became sharp again, and he needed an answer.

"This is the land of the human race, and I am also a citizen of the human race. I want to go back to the tribe to see what is the purpose?" The man shrugged, as if he was saying something ordinary.

Lin Shan was silent. This person was indeed a human race, and he did not need any reason to return home. However, the sudden appearance of the ancient human race in front of him made him feel an indescribable discomfort.

"Stop standing outside, come in and chat." There was a hint of gentleness in the man's voice that could not be refused, "Actually, I don't want to show up, but something is wrong with you, and I must let you know that you still have companions here. In this world, the protagonists of this era are not these new human races, but us, the remnants of the past.”

He opened the courtyard door and invited Lin Shan to enter.

Lin Shan moved forward slowly while hesitating. This simple distance carried countless thoughts and trade-offs.

"Can you explain it to me?" Lin Shan's voice contained a hint of imperceptible tiredness. There have been too many things happening recently, and they all happened suddenly.

"There's nothing to explain, as you can see." The man leaned on the door frame, his posture leisurely and contented, and a pebble jumped lightly on his fingertips. "If you have any questions, just ask, I will answer them appropriately." Answer you." There was a trace of amusement in his eyes, as if he was admiring Lin Shan's confusion and exploration.

"Who are you?" Lin Shan asked unceremoniously.

The man's eyes met his, and those eyes seemed to reflect the vastness of the universe. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile, "A homeless person like you."

"Answer another way." Lin Shan's eyes froze, and his whole body felt chilly.

"Your companion?" The man didn't answer the question, but asked back with a half-smile.

"You know that's not what I'm asking." Lin Shan's voice lowered, the atmosphere became solemn, and the surrounding air seemed to vibrate slightly due to his change in mood.

"Loneliness for a long time has made you very unstable. Sure enough, even you are the same..." The man shook his head, with an undoubted seriousness in his expression. He turned around slowly, "Come in Let’s talk, although it’s a little early for you, but I will tell you some secrets that you can know.”

"Of course, this must contain the answer to the question of who am I." There was an unhurried rhythm in his voice, as if he had endless time to tell this story.

The man turned around and entered the room. His figure seemed to become taller under the outline of the door frame. Lin Shan took a breath, as if to spit out all the complicated emotions, and then stepped in to follow.

The moment he entered the house, he seemed to have stepped into another universe.

A coffee table made of light is suspended in the middle, surrounded by an endless starry sky.

The man sat down on the side of the coffee table. His posture was relaxed and comfortable. He patted the coffee table casually and said, "Sit."

Lin Shan sat down slowly. The seat opposite him made him feel as if he was talking to the entire universe.

"First, let me answer who I am." The man's voice was low, and every word was full of meaningful echoes.

"I am Ji Yimin from the Tianxia human race. I was also a member of the old Tianzun. You must have never heard of me now." There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling a glorious and distant past, " Your predecessor and I...were considered friends."

Speaking of this, there was a complex emotion in his eyes.

"I am now a member of 'Green Day'. I returned to the human race this time because someone calculated that the human race will suffer an inevitable disaster this time. The source of the disaster is the projection of the two Sequence 1 Outer Gods, but fate is not predetermined, and the calculation cannot be 100% correct. Because of your existence, the human race escaped this disaster unscathed."

His eyes met Lin Shan again, quietly waiting for the latter's question.

"You appeared here to save the human race?" Lin Shan's question was not only an inquiry, but also a request for confirmation.

Ji Yimin nodded and answered concisely and powerfully, "Yes."

"Are you Gu Tianzun?" Lin Shan continued to ask, his eyes locked on Ji Yimin.

"Yes." Ji Yimin still answered affirmatively.

"Do you belong to Green Day now?" Lin Shan's questions came one after another, each one like a key, trying to open the lock of time.

"That's right." Ji Yimin's voice was calm, but his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the coffee table, as if recalling everything about Green Day.

"Green Sun...did they sacrifice the Old Gods of the Core Universe last time?" Lin Shan's voice was slightly heavy, and this topic was obviously not easy.

"Yes, but that was not a sacrifice." Ji Yimin's expression became a little complicated, his gestures stopped unconsciously, his eyes were deep, "That matter was not handled by me, and I don't know the specific process and results." His eyes turned to the starry sky behind Lin Shan.

"But you have to know that Green Sun is the supreme leader of the Old, just like the position of Yuanting in Yuanchu." He turned his sight back and looked directly at Lin Shan, "Of course, we are much more united than Yuanting."

"How much power does the Old have left?" Lin Shan continued to ask. .

"Not much, the high-end combat power is less than one percent of Yuanting, and less than one hundred thousandth of the Outer God." Ji Yimin shook his head, with a helpless look in his expression.

"What are your plans for the future? Fight with the Outer God for the eleventh time?"

"Besides this, do you have any other way?" This time it was Ji Yimin's turn to ask Lin Shan back, as if he had thought of something, he reminded, "Not you, but us."
