Above the gray fog

Since it was almost over, Lin Shan had no reason to run around anymore.

In the following time, Lin Shan planned to just play it down and find a place to observe the changes of the pseudo-human race for a few days until the game was over.

However, bad news always came suddenly.

Only one day later, Ji Xian contacted him again, "Be careful, that person may come to find you."

"Looking for me, why?" Lin Shan didn't understand. He was just a small novice and there was no threat. Why did the other party come to him for no reason?

Was he going to be attacked as well?

Jixian: "Games are always games, and you are not only a newcomer to the game of civilization, but also a newcomer to the Garden of Eden. These two are different."

"There are only two kinds of relationships in the Garden of Eden, friends and enemies. There were no enemies in the Garden of Eden before the game of civilization appeared. The word enemy appeared with the emergence of the game of civilization."

Jixian: "Just be careful, there shouldn't be any danger."

Lin Shan nodded slightly, "I understand."

Jixian said it very clearly. There are only two kinds of relationships among the members of the Garden of Eden, enemies and friends, and there are no strangers. From this, we can guess that the real number of members in the Garden of Eden may not be large.

No one wants to have an extra enemy for no reason, so the person who came to him should want to make friends.

Being caught in the middle made him feel very uncomfortable.

Jixian's enemy came over and wanted to make friends with him.

If he didn't agree, it would be like accidentally adding an enemy. If he agreed, he would be too sorry for Jixian. Jixian borrowed points and sent resources during this period, and there was nothing to say about his goodness to him.

Even if Jixian had some intentions, Lin Shan would not think that there was anything wrong with this person. He knew very well that no one would be nice to another person for no reason.

After struggling in his heart for a while, he heard an eagle cry from the sky.

A cloud of smoke rode on the giant eagle and rushed towards Lin Shan quickly.

The figure of the person coming was illusory and ethereal, like a cloud of hazy smoke. It had no fixed shape, sometimes showing the outline of a human figure, and sometimes turning into a dark shadow.

The giant eagle stopped in front of Lin Shan.

The smoke turned into a human figure and jumped down.

It also had no facial features, only a pair of deep eyes flashing in the mist, and these eyes revealed a cold and elusive breath.

As it gradually approached, Lin Shan observed that its body was emitting a faint light, with a hint of pale blue or green. This light made people feel mysterious and dark, and gave people an inexplicable chill.

"Hello." The ethereal voice came from the figure.

"Hello." Lin Shan responded calmly.

"Are you the owner of the new sandbox, a new player of the Civilization game?" The smoke figure asked knowingly, as if he hadn't thought of the topic yet.

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded.

"My name is Youying, and I'm ranked 17th in the Civilization game." Youying introduced himself briefly, only saying his name and the ranking of the game. The ranking should be the game ranking, which ranks 17th among all players of the Civilization game.

"My name is Lin Shan, a newcomer." Lin Shan's self-introduction was even simpler.

"I don't mean anything else, I just came here to get to know you." Youying explained, as if he was worried that Lin Shan would mistakenly think he had malicious intentions.

"After getting to know you, what's next?" Lin Shan asked.

Seeing that Lin Shan's attitude was not very good, Youying gradually became cold.

"The strong are showing goodwill to the weak, and the weak shouldn't have this attitude."

Lin Shan said calmly, "This is just a game. The strong in the game may not be that strong in reality."

"Sure enough." Shadow's eyes revealed a coldness, as if the coldness of ice and snow condensed in them. He stared at Lin Shan, "Do you also think this is just a game?"

Lin Shan was slightly stunned, but still asked back, "Isn't this a game?"

The shadow pointed to the pseudo-human race who were digging holes to store food not far away, "Look at them, are they real creatures or fake creatures?"

"Really." Lin Shan was sure of this. Although they were creations, they were indeed living beings.

The shadow smiled lightly, "Since it's all real, why say it's a game? You never take your creation to heart, so don't think about how much the creation can give you back. You have to know that the way of heaven can be reversed."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that if you are an obstacle to them, they may also overthrow you, just like the ancient gods who were the original rulers of the Gray Mist Universe."

"It's different. I am their creator. The ancient gods and the old creatures are equal." Lin Shan retorted.

"Since you are the creator, why haven't you thought about what created the Gray Mist Universe and who is the creator of the old gods and creatures?"

"Natural evolution, there is no creator." Lin Shan replied lightly.

"Haha." The shadow chuckled, "So you don't want to be friends with me?"

"Friends are not just words. Even if I say we are good friends now, do you believe it?" Lin Shan asked.

The shadow did not answer, but pointed at the pseudo-human race again, "Look at them in a hurry, they have never thought that there is a world outside the world, and they have never even thought about looking at the clouds in the sky."

"..." Lin Shan was speechless, he felt that the shadow was making small talk, "Go ask a stone on the roadside, ask it if it longs for the clouds in the sky?"

"But they are human." The shadow said seriously.

"No." Lin Shan shook his head and said, "Their heads are still a piece of stone. Being able to survive in this world is what they should think about most, not the unreachable clouds, let alone the unpredictable outside world."

"You think they shouldn't have this idea, which proves that you are not a qualified creator. You can't go too far in this aspect of creation." The shadow seemed to have lost interest in Lin Shan, and jumped back onto the giant eagle. The eagle cried and turned into a black dot and disappeared in the sky.

"Inexplicable." Lin Shan watched the black dot disappear gradually. With the improvement of his life level and the increase of his knowledge, he met more and more inexplicable people. It has only been two days since he came to the Garden of Eden, and two of the people he met gave him this feeling.

The first person was Mo Hao who was receiving the Fountain of Life by the fountain, and the second was the shadow who had just left.

Not long after the shadow left, the world in front of him was directly shattered.

He returned to the square.

The emotions of the four people next to him surged like a tide, unable to be suppressed.

First, they were angry, their cheeks flushed, they clenched their teeth, and their hands clenched into fists.

Then he felt endless pain and loss.

Lin Shan didn't know what they had been through, and couldn't empathize with them. Comforting them at this time would have the opposite effect, so he could only sit aside and think about his next plan.
