Chapter 1785: Meet the Scarecrow.
After saying goodbye to the three, Lin Shan appeared on a meteorite that was flying rapidly towards an unknown location, with stars scattered like diamonds in the endless darkness.
His eyes stayed on the sea of stars where the human race was, and an inexplicable emptiness and loss surged in his heart.
The starlight reflected on his thoughtful face.
The intimacy that once existed seemed to gradually become blurred and distant with the passage of time.
Jin Tianzong, an old friend who was once full of passion and dreams, is now a little more unfamiliar.
Perhaps he was too sensitive, and Jin Tianzong's eyes had a depth that Lin Shan could not understand, as if he was carrying some secrets and burdens.
And occasionally his eyes evaded.
There must be some information hidden from him.
Yan Ruxin was more direct. Lin Shan felt an indescribable gap in her, just like wolves and sheep, light and darkness, good and evil, which could not be integrated.
When she learned that he had been promoted through Lingsu, Yan Ruxin's eyes flashed with instinctive disgust, but everything was well concealed by her.
Lin Shan understood that the two of them were no longer the friends he once knew.
Only Zhao Xiaoan, Lin Shan felt that she seemed to have not changed.
However, Lin Shan always had a feeling that he could not face, and always had a complex emotion of sadness and regret.
Perhaps the bond between them still existed, but that bond was more confused than before.
The former pioneers of the human race were finally dispersed.
The reason why he spoke his mind without reminiscing about the past.
Because he had seen through it.
Those times and memories have now become a distant past.
Now they are just the remnants of the myriad races, continuing to burn in this vast starry universe.
Burning over and over again.
Lin Shan under the starlight seemed to be the loneliest existence in this universe.
The endless sea of stars, although beautiful, could no longer fill the emptiness in his heart.
In a trance, several hours passed.
Lin Shan came back to his senses.
Remembering that there was still a lot to do.
His figure gradually disappeared from the spot.
The Garden of Eden.
Lin Shan remembered that he still had hundreds of billions of Eden points in Eden Garden, but now these points were useless to Lin Shan.
Eden Square was still as lively as before.
Various hawking sounds came one after another, mixed together, forming a noisy movement.
"Gene medicine, just shipped from the Galaxy Research Institute!"
"Enhanced version of divine art - large healing art, miss it and never have it again!"
"Come and take a look at this, a brand new starship energy core, the price is fair!"
The crowd was bustling, the vendors greeted customers enthusiastically, and the stalls were crowded with people choosing goods.
Lin Shan stood at the edge of the square, his eyes swept over those familiar scenes, and a trace of nostalgia rose in his heart.
He vaguely remembered that this bustle started with him.
Lin Shan shifted his sight and looked for the scarecrow.
He looked around, but didn't see the familiar figure.
"Scarecrow, is he gone too?"
Lin Shan said to himself.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Young man, are you looking for me?"
Lin Shan turned around and saw the familiar figure.
The scarecrow was still the same as before, but he was wearing a tattered linen shirt.
The messy straw came out from the gaps in the shirt, looking casual and natural.
The two button eyes seemed to be made of deep black holes, staring straight at Lin Shan.
He held the familiar broom in his hand, and the wooden handle of the broom was a little worn.
Lin Shan looked at him.
I didn't understand it before, and I still don't understand it now.
What life level is this scarecrow.
"Young man, I haven't seen you for thousands of years, but you have grown a lot."
The scarecrow raised the broom with one hand and swept the ground next to him twice.
Lin Shan understood and sat down in the place he had swept.
"Every time you come to see me, you have something to do. What is it this time?" The scarecrow asked casually.
"Gray Mist still has thousands of years to go. I don't want to get involved in Gray Mist anymore. I may leave before then." Lin Shan said straight to the point, "This time, I came mainly to say goodbye."
"Let's go, let's go." The scarecrow waved his hand indifferently, "Young people should be like this, walk more, see more."
"The end of the Gray Mist Universe should be a spectacular thing. Aren't you going to see it?" The scarecrow suddenly said, as if he had thought of something.
Jin Tianzong also said something similar.
"Is there anything worth seeing?" Lin Shan asked.
"Boom, boom, bang, bang, bang." The scarecrow gestured a few times, "Like this."
Lin Shan was silent, "Let's talk about it later."
"Just to say goodbye? Then you can leave now." The scarecrow held the broom across his body and leaned against the wall, "You don't need to say goodbye to this bundle of straw like me. You have someone you really should say goodbye to."
"Who?" Lin Shan asked.
The scarecrow pointed a finger at Lin Shan's heart, "Your heart has been found, right?"
"But are you sure it must be intact?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Shan was puzzled.
"Young people are good in every way, but unfortunately they don't have the courage." The scarecrow did not answer Lin Shan directly.
"You think I should find the original heart light?" Lin Shan thought.
"Don't." The scarecrow picked up the broom and swept it in front of Lin Shan, "Why do you have to fall into the trap? Are you dissatisfied with your current state?"
"No." Lin Shan shook his head, "I just don't understand what you mean. Maybe you can tell me directly."
The scarecrow looked like a child who could not be taught. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you remember that a long time ago, you met someone who claimed to be your future self. He told you that you would ascend to the position of master when you were 10,000 years old and open up a new path for the gray fog."
"I remember."
"What's the truth?" asked the scarecrow.
After thinking for a while, Lin Shan replied, "I didn't take over the position of master, nor did I open up a new path for the gray fog, but I did become the master around 10,000 years old."
"The so-called future you is real. It is a predetermined path. Just like playing with a chess piece, you can plan in advance what you will encounter at what time and what strength you will have at what age."
"But you went astray. Do you know what this means?" The scarecrow smiled.
"What does it mean?" Lin Shan looked back at the scarecrow.
"It means that you have become an unstable factor. On the originally orderly chessboard, there is suddenly an uncontrollable chess piece."
"I can't give you any advice, and I dare not give any advice."
The scarecrow watched Lin Shan disappear on the spot.
It stood up shakily.
"It means that you have created a universe of possibilities."
"Differentiating fate, this is obviously something that only transcendent people can do."
"Interesting..."
