Above the gray fog

The scarecrow looked carefully at the Soul Land through the crack in the Kingdom of God opened by Lin Shan.

It slowly said, "There are not a few source tools in the origin, and new ones will be added in every era, but most of them are lost."

"In the old days, there was no such thing as source tools. At that time, they were mostly called innate spiritual treasures or innate treasures. The horizontal sword in your hand was once a member of the innate treasures, but it was broken later, and now it can only be comparable to ordinary source tools in the origin."

"Among the source tools, nine are particularly powerful, just like the gap between innate spiritual treasures and innate treasures. The time spear in your hand and the Soul Land are both among the ranks of powerful source tools."

"Let's not talk about the time spear for now. The Soul Land is of great importance. If you take it now, neither the Source Court nor the Chaos will let you go."

Hearing this, Lin Shan immediately closed the Kingdom of God.

"So hot?"

The scarecrow had no reason to lie to him, so this Soul Land would really attract the hatred of the two major forces of the Source Court and the Chaos, and he had no confidence that he could suppress these two major forces.

"Can I give it to Green Day?" Lin Shan thought of a way.

"Yes, provided that you can return to Green Day." Scarecrow said stiffly, "In this gray fog universe, it is not difficult to find someone."

"What is the effect of the Soul Town?" Lin Shan asked again, he needed to know whether this thing was worth the risk.

If it was really extremely important, at most he could make a wish to the magic box and return directly to Green Day.

"The Soul Town values ​​the ability to heal the soul. For high-level gods and even masters, it is an extremely effective healing medicine." Scarecrow said.

"Heal the soul?" Lin Shan frowned, "Many other treasures and abilities can do this."

The scarecrow shook his head, "The two are not on the same level."

"Imagine that you carry a sufficient number of soul straws on you, and when you fight the enemy, the enemy smashes your soul. Without soul straws, resurrection takes time, but with soul straws, the soul will recover instantly."

"In addition, the straws in the Soul Land can make puppets of sequence 1 or even higher levels."

"Have you heard of substitute puppets? Using soul straws to make substitute puppets is the main reason why major forces compete for the Soul Land. After the soul is bound to the puppet, it will not die if it is attacked fatally, and can Complete resurrection on the puppet, as long as the number of soul straws is sufficient, even unlimited resurrection can be achieved, which is truly immortal. "

"Moreover, when fighting outside, you can put the substitute puppet in a safe place, and resurrection will be directly resurrected in a safe place. You should know what this means, right? It means a chance to start over. "

"The most important thing is that soul straw grows very fast, which is also the reason why Aita sells soul straws. This is a no-cost business. "

Lin Shan nodded heavily. He knew that he might really be in trouble. For war, the Soul Town is a divine weapon, and it can even consume the enemy without sacrificing one's own side.

If the big soldiers with these puppets as the basis are the Overlord, Lin Shan dare not imagine how spectacular the scene would be if the Overlord himself violently attacked the soldiers.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shan realized that something was wrong.

"Whether it is Yuanting or Chaos, they robbed the Soul Town to deal with the Outer Gods, right?" Lin Shan asked.

"There are Outer Gods infiltrating Chaos, and they robbed the Soul Town not only to deal with the Outer Gods." The scarecrow shook his head.

Then he asked, "Do you know why Chaos came out to snatch the Soul Town at this time?"

Lin Shan did not speak, he could not know.

"The barrier of the Gray Fog Universe can only last for twenty years at most, and all forces have begun to worry." The scarecrow said slowly, "The Gray Fog Universe will most likely end this time."

"So soon?" Lin Shan's eyes widened slightly, he did not expect that this day would be so close.

What can he do in such a short time? Even if he used it all to practice the old skills, it would not be possible to improve too much.

"The last outbreak of the Storm Sea has foreshadowed this day." The scarecrow said, "The Storm Sea is the alarm bell before the end of the world."

"But don't worry, even the Outer Gods can't defeat the Gray Fog Universe in an instant. What will happen next will definitely be a quasi-war that will last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."

Lin Shan looked at the scarecrow, "You have never been out of the Garden of Eden, but you know everything."

"Is it strange?" The scarecrow asked back.

Lin Shan nodded, "Strange."

"Because I am a scarecrow," the scarecrow replied simply, "My duty is to protect the fields, and this gray fog universe is my fields."

"Who is the owner of the fields?" Lin Shan asked.

The scarecrow looked up at the sky and said faintly, "It used to be the Human Emperor, and now it is... all living beings in the world."

Lin Shan nodded slightly. The scarecrow's words meant that it was the Human Emperor who asked it to guard the gray fog universe.

"The last question." Lin Shan stood up and walked forward a few steps. "As far as I know, compared to the gray fog universe, the outer gods should have an overwhelming advantage. Why don't they directly attack the gray fog universe on a large scale after the barrier is broken? Instead, they want to prolong the war."

"You have to ask the Outer Gods about this question. I can only tell you that this is a rule. The Outer Gods' way of attacking is to slowly erode and gradually increase the offensive power until the Outer Gods of the most ancient level appear." As if thinking of something, the Scarecrow continued, "The Divine Court had previously speculated about this rule. Perhaps the Outer Gods are not only attacking the Gray Fog Universe. Looking at the void, except for the Gray Fog Universe and the outer periphery of a few worlds, the Outer Gods are rarely seen anywhere else."

"Then, the question is, where do they gather?"

"The world outside the void?" Lin Shan frowned.

"The size of the void is endless. Even if there are worlds outside the void, they should be classified as void. Perhaps the main force of the Outer Gods is in a corner of the void, attacking the second Shenzhou continent or the Gray Fog Universe. After receiving the news that the barrier of the Gray Fog Universe here is broken, they will transfer their power from other attack points."

"After all, the Gray Fog Universe is the center of the void, but it is something we know. This sentence itself is false. Since the void has no boundaries, how can there be a center point?"

"I understand." Lin Shan nodded slightly.

"Lin Shan." The scarecrow stared at Lin Shan's back and said seriously, "The unknown is the most desirable thing, but when the unknown has no end, it will be terrifying."

"For example, the abyss?"

"The abyss is the most typical and the most obvious. There are too many unknowns. We don't need to know everything, because we are also an unknown to the existence of the unknown. Do you remember the story I told you before?" The scarecrow suddenly asked.

"The story of people and ghosts?"

"That's right." The scarecrow nodded slowly, "We are people and ghosts. We are afraid of the unknown, but we ourselves are the unknown."

Lin Shan turned around and frowned and asked, "What do you want to express?"
