Above the gray fog

The four of them looked up attentively, and through the lightning barrier, they could vaguely see the scene above.

A huge and boundless tentacle stretches across the sky. The surface of the tentacle is covered with rough textures, and each texture exudes an ancient and depressing atmosphere.

The tentacles were tightly locked by thick chains extending out of the void. The chains were crossed and extremely dense. Red lightning flashed between the tentacles and the chains from time to time.

This is just a tentacle, but it stretches to the end of everyone's perception, and its end is still not visible.

The tentacles seemed to penetrate the entire gray fog, making it difficult to imagine its true form.

Continuing to look upward, you can see a denser patch of red lightning. These lightnings are like countless blood-red snakes, twisting and dancing in the darkness, giving people an extremely ominous feeling.

In the depths of the lightning, some extremely terrifying things could be vaguely seen. Huge outlines were looming in the lightning, as if there were countless pairs of eyes peering in the dark, with an invisible pressure that oppressed the minds of the four people.

Staring at the giant tentacles above and the outline in the red lightning, even the four people with extremely high life levels couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, as if what they were facing was a terrifying existence beyond comprehension. .

In just a few seconds, the lightning barrier quickly recovered, blocking the sight of the four people again.

Jin Tianzong took a deep breath and frowned, "When did this thing appear on our heads?" He raised his head, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "We didn't notice it at all..."

Zhao Xiaoan said slowly, with a solemn look, "The tentacle just now... is like an outer god who dominates the level, or even a higher level existence. He is still outside the gray fog universe, because the space inside the gray fog is squeezed. That’s what happens.”

She tried to explain it with an analogy, "It's like an octopus lying on a balloon, and the octopus's gravity will push the balloon inward."

Jin Tianzong rubbed his face, looking a little helpless, "You are so big in the beginning? This is not a way to survive."

Yan Ruxin still raised her head and stared upward, frowning slightly, "We don't know the specific situation yet. Those chains are filled with the aura of Taoism and are the work of the master in the gray mist universe. It is possible that the battle at the upper level has already begun. Just started."

Zhao Xiaoan was also a little confused, "There are really many doubts... If it is an attack by an alien god at the master level, the master of the gray fog cannot remain indifferent. Now that the outer gods have pressed to the surface of the gray fog, why do they only lock A simple counterattack with tentacles? This is more like stalling for time."

Jin Tianzong's voice gradually increased, and he seemed a little excited, "Delay? Those guys...could they want to abandon the Gray Mist Universe and run away on their own?"

Yan Ruxin regained her previous calmness, "It shouldn't be possible. They carry the Throne of Rules and belong to the gray fog universe. If the gray fog is destroyed, they will also suffer an irreversible blow. Since ancient times, no master has given up on the gray fog." According to Wu Yushi, this is as outrageous as if two countries were at war and the 'king' of one country ran away before the war started. Since he is the master, he will not be afraid of foreign gods. "

Jin Tianzong scratched his chin with a finger in embarrassment and whispered, "I just assumed."

Zhao Xiaoan looked at Lin Shan, "The gray fog universe is too big, and we don't have accurate sources of information. No matter what happens, there are masters above to support it. What we need to do now is to make good use of the next ten years." time."

She said calmly, "The three of us have no possibility of continuing to break through. The top priority is to help Lin Shan break through, at least to let him have the strength of ordinary sequence 0."

Yan Ruxin and Jin Tianzong also nodded in agreement.

"You want to help Lin Shan borrow time. I'm afraid only the master of the historical genealogy can do this kind of thing, right? Or do you have related treasures?"

"Don't Lin Shan have time? Just find another Sequence 1 who has the power of history." Zhao Xiaoan reminded.

Jin Tianzong nodded first, and then suddenly asked, "Lin Shan, what is the opportunity for your ascension?"

"Sublimation opportunity?" Lin Shan heard this word for the first time, and he probably understood in his heart that the 'sublimation opportunity' is what is needed for normal sequence 1 sublimation.

Jin Tianzong looked at Lin Shan with surprise in his eyes, "You don't know the opportunity for sublimation? That is, what is the prerequisite for you to obtain sublimation energy every time?"

"What should be the 'opportunity for sublimation' of a normal Sequence 1?" Lin Shan asked. His sublimation has always depended on practicing skills. He didn't know how others sublimated, and he had never asked.

Jin Tianzong looked at Yan Ruxin, who smiled, and then explained to Lin Shan what an 'opportunity for sublimation' was.

"Ninety-five percent of the Sequence 1 'sublimation opportunities' are to plunder the spirituality of heaven and earth, and the remaining four percent are achieved by analyzing the principles of heaven and earth to achieve enlightenment. "

"There are still one percent of Sequence 1 who need special opportunities, such as indulging in worldly emotions and sublimating through constant experience of human nature. There are also those who are obsessed with a certain specialization, such as forging extremely high-grade weapons and refining high-grade weapons. Extremely high elixirs, etc., the ones I listed are pretty routine, and there are also many weird opportunities, such as vowing to complete a very difficult thing, and once this thing is completed, you will get sublimated energy, etc., through the ages, special There are countless opportunities, but plundering heaven and earth and epiphany account for the vast majority, and most of those weird ones can't go far.

"Of course, no matter what time, there are always people who take shortcuts with the source of matter."

Lin Shan still had a little understanding, "What is plundering the world? What is enlightenment?"

Jin Tianzong grinned before Yan Ruxin and said, "Plundering the world means plundering the total amount of spirituality in the gray fog universe. No matter what world it is, there is always a total amount of spirituality. Because the level of the gray fog universe is extremely high, it can be used by others. The illusion of inexhaustibility, in fact, the number of Sequence 1 is inversely proportional to the total amount of spirituality in the world.”

"Once the number of Sequence 1 reaches the limit, the world will enter the End of Law Period. Before the Human Emperor ruled the Chinese Continent, there were several records of the End of Law in the Chinese Continent."

"But there is no need to worry about this kind of thing in the gray fog universe. With the total amount of spirituality in the gray fog universe, even if the number of existing Sequence 1s increases ten thousand times, it will not be exhausted."

"To put it simply, as long as a Sequence 1 can live and plunder the surrounding spirituality all the time, he can sublimate without limit. However, as the number of sublimations increases, the amount of spirituality required will definitely gradually increase, so It is only in Sequence 1 that the longer you live, the more powerful you will be. Among the Outer Gods, there is even a Sequence 1 guy who can rival the Dominator just because he lives long enough.”

He paused for a moment and looked at Yan Ruxin, who signaled him to continue with her eyes.

Jin Tianzong coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and continued:

"As for what epiphany is, it's very simple. Even in Sequence 1, there are divisions between geniuses and mediocre people. Some geniuses can achieve epiphany while plundering the spirituality of the world, and the speed of sublimation is much higher than that of ordinary Sequence 1."

"Sequence 1 of a normal talent, before sublimating a hundred times, can sublimate once every thousand years on average. If it exceeds a hundred times, it is a big hurdle. It may be once in ten thousand years, or it may be once in hundreds of millions of years. The number of sublimations can exceed two hundred Most of them are the 4% of Sequence 1s who can achieve enlightenment.”

Lin Shan thought thoughtfully, "Sequence 1 in Outer God absorbs black, right? So... there is an upper limit to the black in the void?"

"Also, how should we achieve enlightenment?"

"No one has studied whether there is an upper limit to blackness, but since the void is not endless, there should be no upper limit to blackness..." Jin Tianzong's voice was also a little uncertain.

He shrugged, with a helpless smile on his face, and then said, "Epiphany is very simple. You will have epiphany while you are alive. Blow the breeze, look at the sky, find someone to fight with, and feel the changes in the world. Epiphany will come as soon as you say it. No one can say for sure. Although epiphany is the understanding of the truth of heaven and earth, in fact, it is more like a reward given by the world for living a long time. However, some people are not rewarded even if they live a long time. No one knows the reason. It can only be attributed to A class of talent.”

Jin Tianzong suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Lin Shan, with inquiry in his eyes, "So, what is the opportunity for your sublimation? Is it a special kind?"
