Above the gray fog

Eldiya stretched out her hand, and a soft light condensed on her fingertips, as if there was life.

In an instant, a grid like a Go board slowly rose from her fingertips, gradually grew in size, and floated in the air.

"Now you are free."

Following her words, black and white chess pieces slowly appeared from the bottom of the chessboard, like stars dotting the night sky.

"Now you can place them anywhere." Eldiya waved her hand gently, and the chess pieces swayed slightly in the air, as if they were waiting for instructions.

Lin Shan tried to touch the chess pieces.

He can indeed change the positions of all chess pieces, but what does this mean?

"Imagine you're a pawn."

“If you had to choose a color, which one would you choose?”

She looked at Lin Shan with deep meaning in her eyes.

"White." Lin Shan gave the answer without hesitation.

Eldiya smiled slightly and nodded.

"Chess has two colors, 그 also has two colors, either black or white, and so does the world of 녡."

As she spoke, Eldiya picked up a white chess piece from the scattered chess pieces below, flicked it with her fingertips, and placed it on the chessboard.

The chess pieces rotated in the light and finally landed steadily on the grid.

"This process is the indescribable process of promotion." She said slowly, meaning something.

Lin Shan was thoughtful, staring at the chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Just like the gods in the gray fog universe lineage." He murmured, "Is there a limit to the number?"

"There is no limit." Elutea shook her head slightly and fiddled with the chessboard with her fingers. The originally glowing chessboard suddenly expanded tenfold.

"The number of chess pieces can be infinite, and the chessboard can be expanded infinitely."

"But any indescribable person is a burden to this world and the entire void, so 'nature' will strictly control the number of indescribable people. This control is based on instinct, such as restricting any relevant knowledge. spread."

She paused, as if she was lost in some memory, and said with some melancholy, "I can tell you this because 'nature' is not ruthless, and there are people like me who can pass on the karma and teach the Tao. We should have What's the name? It's been so long that I forgot it."

"It's a bit off topic, let's start talking about the disadvantages of being promoted to the Unspeakable."

Eldiya pointed at the chessboard with a serious look in her eyes.

"As you can see, if you are a chess piece under the chessboard, you are free and you can choose to put yourself in any position. Once you come to the chessboard, the situation is different. If you are just a not very For important chess pieces, you can still choose your position. The more important you are, the fewer opportunities you have to choose."

Elutea looked at Lin Shan deeply, as if she wanted to see through his soul.

"Do you understand that?"

Lin Shan nodded, "I understand, promotion of the Unspeakable will be subject to various restrictions, and you can't help yourself."

Eldiya slowly retracted her fingers, and the chessboard and chess pieces gradually disappeared into the air.

The mysterious atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated.

"Not entirely correct," she said softly. "The correct answer is - you will lose your freedom."

Lin Shan frowned, "Have you lost your freedom?"

He looked at Eldiya, questions flashing in his eyes.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you have lost your freedom.

"I lost it a long time ago." Eldiya showed a faint smile, "Actually, I am not particularly satisfied, but I feel that you should be satisfied."

She turned around and looked at the distant sky, as if remembering something, "After talking about the disadvantages, let's talk about the prerequisite knowledge you need to master to advance to the Indescribable."

Eldiya waved her hand, and a screen of light appeared in the air again, with complex runes appearing on it.

"Do you see these words?"

"껗The paragraph above is the truth of time, and the paragraph below is the truth of space. You need to master the truth of space and time at the same time."

"Everything is the same. There are no skills. All you have to do is stare at 'them' all day long, and then gradually understand that your life level is qualified to contact 'them'."

"Secondly, it is to sense the 'pulsation of the void'."

She continued, "The void is not completely silent. I believe you have also discovered that there is a membrane in the void that can be touched but cannot be sensed. This membrane is the pulsation of the void. Many strong people call the pulsation a wave. Although the void is full of Nothingness, but its essence is composed of multiple waves. If you want to advance to the indescribable, you must perceive the most superficial waves."

"You first try to understand those two truths. If you touch the 'wave', I will personally guide you."

"The last step is to ascend to the sky. Before talking about this step, can you tell me which method of ascending to the sky you practice?" Elutea looked at Lin Shan.

"Four-dimensional puppet." Lin Shan replied.

"So it's this one... I felt a little familiar before." Eldiya said thoughtfully.

If it is a 'four-dimensional puppet', you need to intercept a period of time and space and feed your puppet. This step is very simple, but it is also the most dangerous.

"That's it for now. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. In the room next to mine, you can walk around the palace as you like, and you can read books as you like, if you can understand them." Eluti After Ya finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Shan's answer, she walked straight to the room next to her, which was her own bedroom.

Lin Shan watched Elutia walk to the house next door. He took a deep breath and began to stare at the light curtain that appeared in the air.

"The truth of time, the truth of space..."

This difficulty is like Lin Shan casually drew a few circles and defined the circles with a meaning, and then randomly grabbed a few ordinary people and asked them to understand what these circles mean.

Although it is a bit abstract.

But it is probably like this.

He tried to move the position of the two strings of mysterious text.

As his mind moved, the two strings of text seemed to be able to sense his needs and slowly moved their positions with his thoughts.

"Is there spirituality?"

Lin Shan changed his mind.

The next moment.

Lin Shan felt as if his consciousness was a drop of water of time, drifting with the torrent of time, he saw fragments of the past, present and future, as if he was in countless intersections of time and space.

He saw the ancient battlefield, the fall of heroes, and the rise and fall of civilization.

He even saw his past self, standing alone in the endless void, enemies surging like a tide, and every fragment was like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in his mind.

Gradually, Lin Shan felt that his consciousness became unusually clear, his heartbeat was in sync with some abnormal sound, and the beating caused time and space to change along with it.

"Is it that simple? Lin Shan opened his eyes with a strange look.

He saw the folding and unfolding of space, the jumping and twisting of time, and every change of time and space was like a magnificent dance, performing endless mysteries in his mind.

He didn't need to understand anything at all, the truth of time and space took the initiative to drill into his mind.

The truth of time and space is said to be a kind of knowledge, but in Lin Shan's opinion, it is more like a cognition.

Before receiving this cognition, he had no idea that he could do this.

Elutia, who had just entered the house not long ago, seemed to have felt something.

She walked out of the house again.

Looking at the two disappearing truths, she looked at Lin Shan again.

"What? "Elutia looked puzzled.

"It should be." Lin Shan nodded slightly.

Elutia circled around Lin Shan, seemingly thinking about the reason.
