Above the gray fog

Old Wang stopped above the skull of the skeleton.

A huge balance appeared behind him.

One end of the scale seemed to bear an unknown weight and was slowly pressed down until the other end was completely lifted up, and the shadow of the scale suddenly exploded.

The terrifying golden aftermath spread, wrapping the entire skeleton.

Lin Shan frowned. He seemed to see... a small red dot appeared in the deep eye sockets of the skeleton.

Is this... the rhythm of being awakened?

"Let's go."

When the golden light dissipated, Old Wang appeared beside Lin Shan.

"Didn't find it?" Lin Shan looked at him, and his breath became extremely weak for some reason. "What's wrong with you?"

"No." Old Wang smiled bitterly, "It was backfired by fate. It is very likely that the Fallen Pearl will not be found. You have made a wasted trip."

"I don't care." Lin Shan stared at the eye sockets on the skull. The tiny red light had dissipated. It seemed that the movement caused by Old Wang was not enough to wake it up. "If you don't plan to continue looking, let's go."

Lin Shan went straight through the seal and opened the door for Old Wang with his backhand.

The two returned along the same route, and this time they did not encounter any interception by the mirage in the mirror universe.

They returned to the surface of the gray fog smoothly.

After Lin Shan walked out of the sealed place, he looked around, with a trace of contemplation on his face, and then said to Lao Wang, "I want to go to the former central area to have a look."

Lao Wang was still a little lost, but he nodded mechanically, "Okay."

Lin Shan released his perception and wrapped the entire human circle in it.

"These are..." Lin Shan saw that the human circle he was once familiar with was very different.

There was no trace of the plant-falling tribe, and instead, there were crystal creatures everywhere. The existence of these creatures made the living environment of the human circle worse than before.

Among the crystal creatures, there were also a few other tribes, most of which were original races, but there were also some surviving old races that continued to this day.

These old races were all left over from the past. Since the channel connecting the gray fog to the twins was cut off, there were no new old races in the gray fog universe.

Lin Shan looked thoughtfully at the somewhat distraught Lao Wang beside him and asked, "Do you know where the Twin Universe is?"

After hearing this question, Lao Wang took a deep breath to adjust his state and replied, "The Twin Universe does not actually exist."

"Does it not exist?" Lin Shan was puzzled.

"It's not really non-existent," Lao Wang explained, "You should have heard of the possible universe, right?"

Lin Shan nodded, "I have heard of it."

"The Twin Universe is a man-made quasi-possible universe. It may exist and is right next to the Gray Fog Universe, but because it is 'possible to exist', the Twin Universe does not exist in reality. If not, the old fire would not have been able to burn until now." Lao Wang's voice was a little low, but the explanation was very detailed.

"Is that so..." Lin Shan pondered, and Lao Wang's words solved a doubt in his heart.

When he went to the void before, he had thought about whether the Twin Universe was a small world next to the Gray Fog Universe.

Lao Wang looked into the distance, observing the human circle and the surrounding area, revealing a hint of helplessness in his expression, "I haven't been back to the human circle for a long time. These crystal-like creatures are the work of Yuanting, right?"

Lin Shan told Lao Wang the information he knew, "Well, these are void creatures. Yuanting hijacked the king of this tribe."

After several changes, Lao Wang's expression has returned to normal, as if he has forgotten about the Fallen Pearl.

He said, "In fact, you don't have to think about it. These crystal creatures are specifically targeting the old creatures. It is obvious that someone is behind the scenes."

Lin Shan walked forward slowly. With every step he took, a piece of crystal creatures in a star field turned into dust.

After a while.

Hundreds of star fields in the human circle and countless galaxies were rescued by Lin Shan from the invasion of crystal creatures.

"Who are you?" A voice traced back from a distant star field.

Lin Shan did not reply.

He knew who the owner of this voice was, the giant Asbuma.

She is only at Sequence 3 now, and the aura on her body shows that she is not an ordinary fire, but an old ember.

There should be many embers like Asbuma that have not yet awakened in the Gray Mist Universe. This is also one of the reasons why the Human Emperor said before that Tianxia’s power is not just that.

"This girl... is an ember? The strength of Sequence 3 can actually trace your reflection?" Old Wang showed a curious look on his face.

"It is an ember. We have crossed paths before, but there should be something wrong with her, and it is difficult to recover her strength." Lin Shan nodded.

Old Wang looked at Asbuma carefully and concluded, "Well, her luck is very heavy, as if it was polluted by the original heavenly way."

"Luck... I remember that I used a method to plunder luck before, which seems to be called 'Luck Balance Life Extension Method'. At that time, I used this method to extend my life..."

Lin Shan's eyes showed a nostalgic look. At the beginning, it was for the method of accumulating life and exchanging parchment for God. It was also at that time that he met Asbuma. Lin Shan remembered that Asbuma was the golden son of luck.

"Never heard of it." Old Wang shook his head.

The two walked forward.

"Is this the Fox Clan?" At some point, Old Wang, who had been following Lin Shan, suddenly raised his head and looked around.

"Yeah."

The Fox Clan today is no longer as prosperous as it once was.

The buildings of the Fox Clan still retain the ancient style, with carved beams and painted rafters, and are exquisite, but most of these buildings are dilapidated, and the walls of many houses are covered with cracks, and the tiles on the roofs are also tilted.

The once glorious palace, after what, has become a ruin, covered with moss and weeds, which looks particularly desolate.

The tribesmen walked on the street with heavy steps, as if every step was filled with endless fatigue.

Although their clothes still maintained the tradition of the fox tribe, most of them were shabby, and many people were ragged, which looked particularly miserable.

The faces of the tribesmen were full of loneliness and helplessness, and their eyes were no longer as bright as before, but were replaced by deep worries.

"Times have really changed. The people who dominate the human circle now are... the floating tribe, the rabbit tribe, and the Jiuqu tribe." Although he had just returned to the human circle, Lin Shan already knew all the changes in the human circle.

Lin Shan walked on the streets of the fox tribe.

There was no familiar atmosphere here.

Tushan Ranqi was nowhere to be found, and Tushan Annie and Huang Liu also left the human circle, taking his son who was born inexplicably.

An elderly fox man walked slowly through the street with a cane, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost hope for the future.

A group of children were playing on the street corner. Their clothes were uneven, and some of them didn't even have shoes on.

In a shabby market, several fox women were selecting the few commodities. Their faces were full of fatigue and anxiety, and they talked in low voices from time to time.

"Before the crystal monsters came, or even in the long time before, our fox tribe was one of the largest tribes in the entire human circle. What's more, there were gods sitting in our fox tribe!"

"Hey, you lied! If our fox tribe is so powerful, why are we still bullied by those crystal monsters?"

"I just want to have a full meal every day."

......

"Jiuqu tribe?" Old Wang looked surprised, "Back then, they were exterminated, but I didn't expect them to rise again now."

Lin Shan said thoughtfully, "There is a strange aura in the Jiuqu tribe. The strength of this tribe has far exceeded that of other powerful tribes."
