Above the Gray Fog

Chapter 1774 Ascension

"You are special, Truth, and maybe I haven't completely forgotten you."

"They don't test you, but recognize you directly. This is the best proof."

"You mean, the predecessor?"

"Predecessor? Is that what you called him?" Elutia looked very interested in Lin Shan's name. "He is not your predecessor."

"If I have to sort them out, you are his predecessor."

The words fell.

The originally quiet sky suddenly heard a loud noise, as if it was torn apart by an invisible force.

Lin Shan looked up and saw a huge hole in the sky.

The clouds around the entrance of the cave were like torn cloth, curling and spreading in all directions.

Inside the cave entrance, there seemed to be endless darkness surging, so deep it was heart-stopping.

There was a strange energy fluctuation in the surrounding air, and an extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire world.

Lin Shan was breathless under the pressure, but Elutia shrugged as if nothing was wrong, "You see, this means that you are not free, I will even be restricted from speaking."

"What you just said..." Lin Shan wanted to ask.

Eldiya made a silent gesture, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

"As a chess piece on the chessboard, there are some questions I can't answer for you." She said softly, "This is not because there is anything special about you, but because of my own lack of freedom. I have just told you clearly about the disadvantages."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Now that the truth has accepted you, I will teach you how to perceive the 'membrane', which is the 'wave'."

Lin Shan nodded, expressing understanding.

He held his breath and waited for Eldiya's next words.

"First of all, relax your mind and try to integrate your consciousness with the surrounding environment." Eldiya's voice was as gentle as drizzle, with soothing power.

Lin Shanyi closed his eyes and imagined the feeling of becoming one.

Just when Lin Shan found nothing, Elutia placed a hand on his heart.

At the same time, he felt that the air around him became thicker, as if an invisible film was spreading around him.

"Now, try to feel the existence of this membrane," Eldiya continued. "It is not completely invisible, but is composed of countless tiny fluctuations. You need to find the frequency of these fluctuations."

Lin Shan concentrated his mind, and his consciousness seemed to penetrate the surface of reality and enter a new dimension.

In this dimension, he felt countless subtle vibrations, like ripples on the water, which kept disappearing.

"Very good," Eldiya said with a hint of appreciation in her voice, "Now, focus your consciousness on these 'waves' and try to resonate with them. You can touch them with your hands."

Lin Shan slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently touched those invisible fluctuations.

He felt a strange power coming from his fingertips.

If any abnormal movement occurs within this range, ripples will be generated and transmitted to him.

"Do you feel it? This is the pulsation of the void. Keep it this way, keep this familiar feeling. After a while I will let go of the link, and you can try to repeat this process on your own."

Gradually, relying on the perception of 'waves', Lin Shan can easily know what is happening in extremely distant places. Although the perception is not clear, the reception range is tens of thousands times or more larger than the perception range.

"Very good." Eldiya smiled with satisfaction, "Remember this feeling, this will be the key for you to move to a higher realm."

Elutea gently let go of the hand that was touching Lin Shan's heart. The moment she let go, the subtle vibrations in the air dissipated.

Lin Shan suddenly felt that everything became blurry, as if he had lost contact with the world.

He tried his best to bring his consciousness back to the state of resonance with the 'wave' before, but no matter how hard he tried, the feeling always seemed to be fleeting.

In this stalemate, time flies by.

Day and night alternated, and the seasons changed unconsciously. Lin Shan fell into an almost crazy state.

Day after day he tried to feel that subtle fluctuation again

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shan opened his eyes.

His consciousness gradually sank into an unprecedented tranquility. In this tranquility, a feeling that resonated with the pulse of nothingness came to his heart again.

There is an endless lake in the heart, and ripples are constantly appearing on the lake, which are all created by the creatures in the palace.

Beyond the endless nothingness outside the palace, there are two extremely large ripples. The size of the ripples can tell that the creature is very large, and the speed of the ripples spreading outward can tell that the creature is very strong.

It’s done.

He finally touched the 'wave' again, this time without outside help.

At this point, the second step was finally successful.

Elutia was standing not far away, looking at Lin Shan quietly. She stepped forward, patted Lin Shan's shoulder gently, and said with a smile.

"In fifty years, you have reached heights that many strong men cannot reach in their lifetime."

She paused, her eyes as deep as the sea, "However, these great powers belong to you."

The moment she patted Lin Shan's shoulder, a section of time and space rules that had been cut off quietly merged into Lin Shan's body.

He only felt a strange force pouring into his body instantly, and the next moment, it seemed like countless time and space fragments were rolling and colliding in his body.

Lin Shan's consciousness seemed to be pulled into a chaotic vortex of time and space. The surrounding scenes kept changing, and fragments of the past, present and future intertwined to form a series of blurred pictures.

He felt a tearing pain, as if his existence was being decomposed and reorganized by this force.

"Keep your mind steady and merge with it." Elutia's voice sounded in his ears, "Try to awaken the truth."

Truth...

As soon as Lin Shan's thoughts arose, the two strings of truth runes seemed to have a sense and suddenly appeared in his mind.

The runes emitted a dazzling light and instantly merged into his consciousness.

With the integration of the truth rune, Lin Shan's consciousness seemed to be elevated to a whole new realm, and the previous negative effects were instantly isolated.

The source of the negative effects, that strange energy - the rules of time and space, began to slowly merge into his body.

Lin Shan felt that every inch of his muscles and every cell were under unprecedented pressure.

The energy was constantly expanding, as if it was going to burst his body.

His body gradually showed signs of explosion, and fine cracks appeared faintly on the surface of his skin.

"It's time to transfer all the rules into the puppets. Any level of puppet will do!"

Elutia's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of urgency.

He concentrated his mind and directed the violent rules of time and space to the mealworms.

The mealworms absorbed all the energy without any abnormality.

"The last step is to 'ascend to the sky', inject all the energy resources you have collected into the puppets, and the injection must be completed in a very short time."
