Above the gray fog

Between the clouds and mist, there are often colorful birds flying by, with rainbow-like light flashing between their wings.

Just above the clouds and mist, there are huge branches, looming, and blue-purple lines flowing on them like tree veins.

On the ground, there are lush and green exotic flowers and plants, exuding a faint fragrance.

Going deeper, you can see some ancient and magnificent buildings.

These buildings are not ordinary brick and tile structures, but are made of dark golden stones. Each stone is engraved with complex runes and patterns. The eaves of the buildings are high up, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly, and the roof is covered with green glazed tiles.

Deeper, there are towering peaks.

There are waterfalls cascading down between the peaks, and the water mist is filled, as if silver ribbons are dancing between the peaks.

There are continuous and magnificent buildings on each peak.

From time to time, bells can be heard in the valley, melodious and pleasant.

Between these buildings and natural landscapes, you can also see some busy spirits.

Their costumes are different, but they all have a simple and elegant atmosphere.

Lulu took Lin Shan out, swept across thousands of rivers, and traveled between heaven and earth like lightning.

A moment later, they came to a palace built on a branch of a tall tree.

"You are back, come in quickly." Elutia's voice sounded clearly in his ears.

Lin Shan jumped off the alpaca's back and looked up at the palace in front of him.

This building is much larger than he imagined, magnificent and majestic.

The gate of the palace is made of thick dark red wood, inlaid with golden runes, and the door frame is carved with patterns of flying dragons and flying phoenixes, lifelike, as if it will jump out of the wood at any time.

The alpaca had become smaller at this time. It led the way in front, and Lin Shan followed behind, passing through the gate and entering the palace.

Inside the gate was a spacious corridor with smooth white jade slabs on the ground. The walls on both sides were covered with exquisite murals depicting ancient legends and stories of immortals.

At the end of the corridor was a carved wooden door. The alpaca pushed open the wooden door and led Lin Shan into the interior of the palace.

The interior of the palace was divided into several courtyards, each with a different layout and decoration.

The first courtyard was a huge garden, full of exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing.

There was a fountain in the center, and clear spring water gushed out from the stone dragon's mouth, making a pleasant sound of water.

The garden was surrounded by several pavilions and towers, with flying eaves and brackets, exquisite and elegant.

Passing through the garden, we came to the second courtyard, which was an open martial arts training ground. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and it was particularly quiet.

Going further, we came to the third courtyard, which was a quiet academy. The open-air courtyard was filled with tall bookshelves, on which various ancient books were placed.

In the center of the academy, there was a round stone table with several open scrolls on it. Judging from the messy appearance, it should be that Elutia had just checked the information here not long ago.

The alpaca continued to move forward and led Lin Shan to the deepest part of the palace, where there was a small courtyard.

The small courtyard was surrounded by tall bluestone walls. The courtyard was simply decorated, but not elegant.

In the center of the courtyard, there was an ancient locust tree, with its swaying shadows, blocking most of the sunlight.

There were several stone tables and stone benches under the tree, and a pot of tea and several celadon teacups on the stone table.

At the end of the small courtyard was a small house, the walls of which were made of blue bricks and the roof was covered with blue tiles, which looked simple and quiet.

A string of wind chimes hung at the door of the house, and the breeze blew through, making a crisp ding-dong sound.

Lin Shan walked forward, pushed open the door, and found that the interior decoration was also simple and elegant.

There was a wooden table in the middle of the room, with several books on it.

There was a wooden bed in the corner, covered with white sheets, which looked clean and tidy.

Elutia walked out from the other side of the room, holding several ancient scrolls in her arms. She smiled and looked at Lin Shan and the alpaca, "Welcome back, how many years have passed outside?"

"Two years." Lin Shan replied.

"Oh, it's been two years, I don't feel anything at all. It turns out that people from the old era should continue to survive in the new era." Elutia put all the scrolls on the table and looked at Lin Shan, "Have you collected enough resources?"

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded, "I have already met the amount mentioned in the parchment."

"Next, you still need the last step, but before taking the last step, you need to learn some knowledge." Elutia knocked on the table, "After reaching the level of the indescribable, it is no longer a simple fight and kill, because at this level, it is difficult to be killed, and most of the indescribable can die of old age."

"This aspect can only be taught orally. Although it is very simple, the truth is simple."

"Let me sort it out first, how should I tell you."

Elutia closed her eyes and thought for three seconds.

She opened her eyes and frowned slightly, "Do you have anything to ask?"

"Where is this place?" Lin Shan asked.

"This is my palace, the tip of the World Tree."

"What is the World Tree? Is it a plant unique to the void?" Lin Shan didn't know where to start, so he could only ask gradually.

Anyway, it's already this far, so this little time is all that matters.

"I planted the World Tree, and the seeds were given by the Lord from the Shenzhou Continent. That Lord should now be serving as the Lord of Life in the Gray Mist Universe."

"After countless years, the tiny seed has grown into a towering tree and has produced countless worlds."

"It is natural that this place has become my private territory."

"Well." Lin Shan thought for three seconds and said, "What I hope most now is to be promoted to a nameable person as soon as possible. Other problems are not urgent."

"Okay." Elutia nodded slightly and spread out an ancient scroll on the table.

Lin Shan looked at it and there was no word on it, but Elutia was frowning and thinking.

"How should I put it? Just like lighting up the technology tree, you need to light up all the previous nodes first before you can unlock the nodes behind. Only by lighting up the corresponding nodes can you rub out the corresponding technology, but you are missing too many nodes. I don't know where to start."

"Then I will start with the disadvantages of becoming a nameable person, how about it?"

"Okay."
