Above the gray fog

"I can provide you with a specific time." Lin Shan said.

"Oh, haha." The old woman chuckled, "As long as Tu Shanshan is in the fox tribe, I have enough time to make arrangements."

"Have you ever thought that on the day the potion was born, the fox tribe must be more vigilant than usual, and the final configuration of the potion will be on the Star Dome, the risk is even higher."

"Why don't I find a quiet time at night to knock the club?"

"You know too much. Since you are a good friend of Chubby Dudu and you provided me with important information, I won't kill you. After all, old people don't like fighting and killing."

The next second, everything around suddenly stopped, and the space turned gray.

Except for the old woman, everything around was retreating. Lin Shan quickly retreated to the door, and Chubby Dudu was licking his hair backwards.

…

Taking a breath, the old woman shouted to the outside of the door:

"Young man, come in, what are you doing standing outside?"

[The strong can do whatever they want, they can even fool the time of weak creatures, and you are a weak creature in the eyes of the strong. They look at you just like you look at the poor Lucia you met before. Yes, they actually think you are very pitiful. Your dreams, your pursuits, everything is so powerless. ]

[Before you are as strong as them, don't think about becoming friends with them. Will you become friends with the lovely Lucia? Even though she is better than you ever were. ]

[This is the second time you push open this door, what will you do? ]

Lin Shan looked at the dense black handwriting on the wooden door. At first, he was a little confused. With a dizzy head, a stream of strange memories emerged.

This memory is extremely illusory. He read it quickly like a bystander. This memory is false.

He was reversed in time. Time did not exist, and naturally there was no memory. This was recorded by his eyes. This power could not affect the parchment.

"Manipulating time..." Lin Shan was shocked in his heart, "If there was no parchment, wouldn't it be eaten alive? Maybe in the end, she knew everything, and I still knew nothing."

Lin Shan first took a deep breath, controlled his facial expression, made himself look normal, and then pushed the door open again.

When he looked into his eyes, he saw a white cat sitting opposite an old woman.

The white cat was Chubby.

The positions of Chubby and the old woman were shifted, and they could not match the memory.

It seems that the result of reversing time is different every time.

"Meow." Chubby meowed, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Although I don't know how you know her, you must be here to find her. No one here can help you except her."

"I forgot to tell you, if you take off the bracelet, you can move freely in the world of sin and will not be identified as an intruder."

"Meow."

Chubby's words changed slightly, but they were basically the same as last time, and this time he didn't lick his fur again.

"Young man." The old woman smiled, "Why did you come to see me, an old man?"

Lin Shan pretended to take a look at the bracelet.

The old woman glanced at it and said, "It's okay. The world of sin is not the territory of the Goddess of Shimmer, but is ruled by another intelligent AI. This is also the fundamental reason why people wearing bracelets will be regarded as intruders."

Lin Shan nodded slightly, and still got straight to the point, "I want to borrow the sequence 7 potion of the fox tribe to advance to the sequence."

He changed his words slightly, but the topic did not deviate.

"This..." The old woman looked grim, "You and I are both dependent on the fox tribe, how can we think of such a rebellious thing, for the sake of our old friend, I advise you not to do stupid things."

"The fox tribe is very strict about controlling potions above sequence 8. If you really want to be promoted, you can go through the normal process. Although it is difficult, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Lin Shan looked at her, and a chill rose in his heart.

"Don't mention this matter again, I will not do anything to let the fox tribe down." The old woman said righteously on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking about when to strike the club.

"Grandma...you?" Chubby Dudu beside her felt a little strange, always feeling that something was wrong, was the old lady really working for the fox tribe?

"Chubby, this is your friend, right? You should persuade him. The fox tribe is very deep."

"But..."

"No buts." The old woman said, "I don't like fighting."

"The old man is teaching me that I am too ambitious. I will try to take the normal path." At this time, Lin Shan bowed his hands and said.

"Wow! A young man is teachable." The old woman nodded with satisfaction, "You have a good talent. If you really surrender, you will definitely be valued by the fox tribe."

"Since you are here, just play here for a few days. There are many interesting things in the Ascension Tower."

"No, I want to go back and check the normal way to promotion."

"Oh, it's great to be young. I really envy you. Then I won't stay any longer." The old woman smiled.

She said this, but her heart was as clear as a mirror. She had seen many people like Lin Shan. He would definitely not give up his ideas easily. He said this just to perfunctory her, but this was exactly what she wanted.

After Lin Shan and Chubby left, the old woman sat on a stool and thought.

"Is that eye... a mark of some god?"

"Destiny..."

Lin Shan walked out of the mushroom house holding Chubby, took the elevator down to the first floor, and flew toward the border after leaving the Ascension Tower.

"Meow, you're not really going to give up, are you?"

Puffy didn't know what it was feeling now. It wanted Lin Shan to continue, but also wanted Lin Shan to give up this obviously unrealistic path.

"I'll teach you the mechanical ascension method. As long as you're willing to spend time, you'll definitely have the strength of Sequence 5." Chubby said again.

"Is there a big gap between Sequence 4 and Sequence 5?" Lin Shan suddenly asked.

He remembered that the old woman's tone of understatement before, as if Sequence 5 was nothing to him, was it because of the fragment of authority?

He also had some of the authority of the parchment, so why didn't he see a substantial increase in his strength?

"Why are you asking this?" Chubby Dudu was puzzled, but still answered, "Sequence 5 is a very special sequence. It can be very strong or very weak. The strength depends entirely on the combination of sequences. Five sequences are the limit that living beings can bear. Sequence 5 will sublimate all sequences, but will not gain new abilities."

"For example, Sequence 8 has space, Sequence 7 has spirit, and Sequence 5 will only enhance the soul, and has no substantial effect, so there is no special means to crush Sequence 6."

"Some Sequence 5s may be only slightly stronger than Sequence 6, and some Sequence 5s can be so strong that... Sequence 6 cannot be defeated by numbers. There are some reasons involved that I don't know, and it's too far away for you now."
